Pretty much every day except on weekends

I experienced (and have seen post from others) that there’s somewhat of a honeymoon phase. The first weeks i felt odd, like i had drank a million cups of coffee, but also crazy drive. For the first time i could just do things in a timely manner without a deadline or pressure and I wasn’t miserable.

Now a few months later, I’ve gone back a bit to my old ways. It still helps and i can tell when i forget to take it. Its significantly tamer and needs more effort to get stuff done.

Meds worked wonders for me, exercise also helps have a bit more energy.

The most important thing i wish i knew is that you’ll find something that works for you and it’ll be great, but it will eventually stop working for you. Thats ok, it’s a constant cycle where you’ll have to change your approach multiple times. Don’t get discouraged though, expect it and embrace it.

Can you ping IPs (like your router or 1.1.1.1)? Do you have the same behavior over ethernet?

Also, might be silly bit I’ve been fooled by this more once, have you tested other devices have access to the internet and the specific sites you’re testing with aren’t down?

Dang, does anyone have any advice here? If it was free stuff it would be fine, but there’s always some gear or materials to buy

Doesn’t work well for thicker beverages like milkshakes or iced coffee’s. But for most drinks i agree no straw is best.

What does that fix though? Government is a little more funded, so what? If thieves were rampant, the solution isn’t taxing the thieves.

Billionaires leech off of the working class and we should just tax them? No, we need to address the underlying mechanisms that allow them to do that. If someone actually did $1 billion worth of labor, they deserve the billion, and probably a prize for being the first

 

I run proxmox on an i7 10700 8c/16t CPU. I have this idea that if I have a gaming VM, I shouldn't over-provision cores and even leave 2 for the host, but is that really the case. Can I somehow ensure VM is basically pinned to say half the cores, and the other half can be fought over by whatever other VMs I'm running and proxmox itself? Could this affect performance on the gaming VM?

What are you trying to achieve? I could propose alternatives like using a password manager like bitwarden that would autocomplete login info so login is less of a hassle. You can also use SSH to start/stop/list/etc. VMs so you could create a small local UI or shell script to automate the tasks using key based auth so you don't have to input login data.

I also don't think there's any reason for your proxmox web UI to be available outside your local lan or a VPN. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.

Id say theres two components. Stramdecks UI has a bunch of extra tweaks that aren’t available in the regular BPM like TDP, FSR controls or even proton badges. They’re also designed to require the least amount of kb and mouse input so you could have a living room PC thats just boot and play with a controller or something like the ROG ally running “steam OS”.

I tried chimera OS (basically the same as this) for a cloud gaming VM i could connect to with a logitech gcloud and it seems promising, but needs some work still.

Some will, the display backlight needs power after all and a fair amount. I believe most displays have either an internal battery, maybe some can draw power from the laptop. The former will have negligible impact on battery as the computer only needs to render the image for the second screen and send the video output the display, the latter will have a big impact on battery as on top of all that, had to power a big bright backlight.

Honestly, its not even performance, GPU and RAM will need upgrading before the CPU starts being an issue. Its just the ITX motherboard that annoys me, there's a lot of cool stuff I could do with more expansion slots. But I think you're right, I expected to get 3-5 more years from that CPU, it's probably best to just wait for the new stuff to become more affordable

 

A few years ago I built a mini ITX with these specs:

  • cpu i7 10700
  • gpu zotac twin edge 3060ti
  • ram: 32gb ddr4
  • Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid AIO 120mm
  • MoBo: asrock H470M-ITX/ac
  • PSU: Corsair Supernova 550w PSU
  • Case: Sugo sg13
  • some assortment of drive I don't recall 4.5tb total

Back then I thought I'd get some portability out of an ITX build but that wasn't the case, its still too heavy and fragile for me to feel comfortable lugging it around. I'm hardly getting any benefit from the small form factor, but still have all the downsides: poor upgradability, hard to clean, limited expansion.

I got a proper tower, phanteks p400, from a friend and plan to move my computer into it and gradually upgrade bits until it's a proper ATX system, ship of Theseus style, and eventually with the old parts have a solid HTPC.

I use this system as a proxmox server that I access remotely and don't generally use more than 2 vms at once for gaming, programing, machine learning, etc. resources are perfectly adequate for now, but I'm starting to run into the limits of the system and I'd like to consider an upgrade plan.

PSU is the obvious place to start, probably move up to an 850w unit or more.

Here is where I generally get stuck, should I:

  • save up for a current gen mobo, cpu, ddr5 ram upgrade
  • get a LGA1200 mobo for cheaper and still have the option to move to an i9 and get 2 more ddr4 dims for 64GB.
  • something else entirely

GPU and storage aren't dependent on the mobo or cpu gen so those will be more based on need and when I can afford

So, I'd love to get some feedback and advice to make a more informed decision. Thanks in advanced

 

Hey all, I come from bash and zsh and i'm generally used to tailoring and customizing my experience to what suits me. I want to do the same for my work laptop. I have created a profile.ps1 but due to constrained language mode I cant seem to set aliases or functions because it cant dot source it. What are some viable alternatives? Disclaimer, I'm not looking to bypass the security and policies set here, just alternatives to try and make the experience easier

 

Hi, I work in software and I'm trying to find ways to reduce eye strain in my work and studies. Specially because I'm starting my thesis right now. While I have some ebooks, the vast majority of the time I'm reading documentation on the web, on a terminal or IDE. I do read ebooks but that's a tiny percentage of the time.

I've mainly looked at boox so I'm basing this off of their available lineup. But I'm super open to alternatives.

I'm torn on which device to get, specially on size. the 10" with a keyboard (definetly not the keyboard case though) sounds amazing to SSH into my computer and be able to properly write code that way. But it's way too big to use as an auxiliary device for quick notes or web browsing when I'm at my desk with a kb + mouse + laptop. For that more handheld, quick handwritten notes with the option for web use, reading docs and that sort of stuff, the 7" really seems like the ideal size (I use an ipad mini for this currently and its great, I've tried the 10.2" and it wasn't a great experience).

There's also the matter of color. I added a grayscale filter on my computer and syntax highlighting still works well, though the color boox devices have a higher resolution overall so I may as well spring for one of those.

As for budget, $600 is pushing it. A caveat, I'm not in the US, so I don't know if that amazon super lenient return policy works here. I want to get the right one off the bat. Also, I'm aware of the pine note. If it were available it would be a no brainer, but I need something sooner.

Those of you with experience, hopefully with the same usecases, I'd love to get feedback>
