Don’t worry about how a video card was used. Unless it was handled by howtobasic, they’re gonna break long after they’re obsolete. You might worry about a bad firmware setup, but you avoid that by looking at the seller rating, not the video card.

there’s an argument to be made that a mining gpu is actually the better card to buy since they never went hot>cold>hot>cold (thus stressing the solder joints) like a regular user would do. But it’s just that; an argument. I have yet to find a well researched article on the effects of long-term gaming as compared to long term mining, but I can tell you that the breaking point for either is long after you would have kept the card in use, even second or third hand.

I know most of the less expensive used hardware is going to be server-shaped/rackmount. Don’t go for it unless you have a garage or shed that you can stuff them in. They put out jet-engine levels of noise and require god tier soundproofing in order to quiet them. The ones that are advertised as quiet are quiet as compared to other server hardware.

You can grab an epyc motherboard that is ATX and will do all you want, and can then move it to a rackmount later if you end up going that way.

The NVIDIA launch has been a bit of a paper one. I don’t expect the prices of anything else to adjust down, rather the 5090 may just end up adjusting itself up. This may change over time, but the next couple of months aren’t likely to have major deals worth holding out for.

I don’t consider “easily satisfied” to be insulting, and the “simple” in this case doesn’t mean stupid. It more closely resembles “direct” than anything else. This isn’t sexism.

You can mitigate the coffee stomach issues by adding a cup yogurt to your morning. It can’t be the shitty stuff like yoplait, but it does do enough to help with that.

That’ll do it, but i really don’t recommend doing it that way. It’s a lot better to just fail PT until they get rid of you.

Just think of your point that they are using residential IP addresses. How do they get these addresses?

You can ping all of the ipv4 addresses in under an hour. If all you’re looking for is publicly available words written by people, you only have to poke port 80 and then suddenly you have practically every possible small self-hosted website out there.

Bonus pun in the vomic title too. Nice!

Ascetic*. I assume the aesthetic lifestyle is primarily shared on instragam.

I have the previous model. It does a great job of playing videos from my server in the other room. It technically can do YouTube, but that’s a pretty horrible experience. It can’t do any other paid streaming services.

But it does do an amazing job of local streaming. It handles most all of the audio and video codecs, and can direct stream just about any video file without too much playing around. I like mine, and definitely recommend it for anyone who also wants a trustworthy local media player.

Of all the reasons for bot services to exist, I think this one is at least a net neutral. At least this way they’re not pushing a political agenda, or trying to steal money. They’re just tryna get a job.

Ima start starring things that help. I had no idea it was anything more than a popularity contest for this sort of thing.

You’re thinking of an FSA.

It really depends on the model. Best to pay attention to it like the previous comment mentioned.

The best way to meet your low power requirement, which you listed as the most important, is by having flash storage. The other half of this is that used hardware is going to be worse at power management than an SBC too. It may be worth doing the math to see how long the power draw difference will take to even out the cost of using flash storage instead of magnetic storage.

The other part of this is that you could just grab a 2.5" hard drive and split the difference on price/GB. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/xCKhP6/seagate-barracuda-5tb-25-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-st5000lm000 start with two, and if you run out of space, or obtain more money, add two more from a different brand.

I use syncthing to keep all my documents and pictures synced between my devices.

What does it look like in the long term?

If they don’t stop, we’ll start using their jamming as a source of power for small mobile devices. It’s free energy at that point.

It’s obviously noticeable from the ones they don’t pull this shit on.

This isn’t a comic about someone with self esteem / confidence issues being unable to figure out if this is a hint they’re interested or if they’re just being friendly.

This was a comic about someone not realizing they were being flirted with at all.

Look, I know the hostel lady asked to see his smile, and honestly it really was a nice thing for him to share.

Yeah, this has the same feel as a man who got shot after breaking down someone’s door and being warned from the inside that the tenant had a gun. Yeah, it’s shit that it happened, but also, yeah, they had it coming.

I’m not understanding the context for this. Who is hosting the interview, red, or the wolf? Why is an interview being held? Red said that wolf mentioned “eating grandma” off screen. Was that during the awkward walk-in, or just earlier in the interview? Why does wolf always start his sentences with the word “listen”?
