This is how you handle infectious disease.

Nicely done, Germany.

As a teen in the 2010s, my first GPU was an Nvidia 680m in a Sager (Clevo) laptop.

That thing could power through just about anything I’d throw at it. Good times.

Lucky you lmao

I still see them once every so often

In fact, I went onsite to a customer who wanted a new PC set up because the old one “wouldn’t boot”. Sure enough the cable was sticking out of the monitor at about a 15deg angle. I pushed the VGA cable in a bit extra hard and it came right back.

I was out of there in about 30min.

They’re doing the societal version of “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue”

Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there

Doesn’t help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.

Spoiler: i70 doesn’t just run through the city like one would think.

Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.

There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG” labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.

In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.

Mmm MSG fries

(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)

Valid, I’m just not a fan of them personally

Too bad fresca uses artificial sweeteners

I used to like the old fresca, too

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

Free hardware is the best hardware!

I fell for an April Fools joke years ago saying that an upcoming character to be released in Smite was The Morrigan, then confidently posted about it on Reddit weeks later.

This was years before she actually was released, and long before development was started on her.

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

• Plex
• 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
• Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
• anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

• Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
• Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
• single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”

Anyone that says J6 was a “peaceful protest” that “got out of hand”

We all saw the footage of that day. There were gallows and calls to hang a sitting vice president.

It was an insurrection, fomented and encouraged by Donald Trump’s speech and actions leading up to that day. Plain and simple.

The right-wingers who say it wasn’t as serious as it was are gaslighting their base.

Edit: Victims of gaslighting in my replies

You can always buy them and make a “backup”

Reasons being they want to justify their purchase of a very expensive office space

She was the closest race in the entire midterm.

Please, CO-3, get out and vote, for our collective sanity

Be sure to set up a Plex/Jellyfin server so you can stream your content to your devices

I’d love some more of that in CO-3 please and thank you.
