Price drop put the 7900x at bargain bin prices and I bought that instead.

Stay with me in my ass

Intellectual property is theft. Is there a WikiLeaks for medicine? WikiMeds perhaps?

In the modern game industry, you get hit with layoffs even if you do well so it doesn't really matter what the quality of your product is in the end... You still get laid off.

This is why being a wizard is illegal in Dragon Age.

I was too busy seeing alien: cromulant a second time.

I hope Bungie realized that if they make another free to play shooter that it will cut into the profits of their other free to play shooter.

People who still play Destiny2 are like people who drink Hennessy. "When a mfka drink Hennessy all he drink is Hennessy" - Kat Williams

Maybe they can try something smaller, more original, and riskier and see if people will buy that. Shorter development time, tighter budget, minimize the scope of the first title and see what people will buy. Leverage the fact that you have all this game tech, expertise, and capital and make three smaller projects that do not compete against the core product directly and come to market quickly.

Honestly when I think about it, this is just what Mac Users have been doing for years. It's ok to have different devices that do different things.

With that being said, I know my journey with computers was me breaking a lot of stuff and installing software I shouldn't as a child. If they want a windows PC, make them come up with the build. That's the best way to share your hobby.

Data hoarding is a truly unique experience. Just my two cents

  • raid is not a backup. Don't use raid5 unless you're using a filesystem like zfs that checksums your data. Raid5 is vulnerable to scenarios with a "write hole" that leads to bit rot.

  • split up your dataset into smaller more manageable datasets so you can more easily back it up in different ways like external drives, cloud storage, etc. You can then limit the dataset size to never exceed the same of your backup target.

  • snapshots, use them. Snapshots in your filesystem can make your backups more manageable by only sending the differential data as opposed to something like Rsync which may need to rsync an entire file.

I use ZFS and have found that compression with ZSTD works pretty well for getting extra use out of your disks but unless you have a lot of RAM and some special metadata NVME disks, don't use reduplication as it will be a serious performance impact.

Now if you aren't using a FOSS system like truenas and instead you're using a system like a qnap off the shelf, the qnap hybrid backup and sync manager has a really elegant solution for doing policy based differential backups to back blaze b2 storage. Not only does this give you a copy of your data, you also get immutable points in time archives of your data.

Good luck in your data hoarding endeavors!

Wall Street bets regards linked to an evil admin attack? 😕

 

I've been using ChimeraOS with a cheap AMD 5700xt I purchased from Alibaba for a few months now with great success.

I also have a 2070 super that is not currently being used and I was investigating different ways of getting this to work while still maintaining the friendly steamOS/steamdeck style user interface on my big screen that I've come to enjoy. I didn't have any luck with bazzite-nvidia or anything else yet (shout out to universal blue; awesome project)

I stumbled across this YouTube video from a channel called "Matthew Anderson" where he appears to be using Prime to use an onboard video for GameScope and an Nvidia GPU for rendering.

I'm just curious if anyone else has tried this out with any success?

I've recently been investigating doing some automated zero touch deployment stuff in my lab.

I have PXE boot in my lab but I feel like I'm under utilizing it. I was thinking about exploring using ansible with netbox as right now I only use netbox as a glorified wiki.

I'm just curious if anyone here has zero touch deployment and has any interesting takes on what it is good for and what it isn't good for (I would really like to hear about some edge cases).

Thanks!

 

I don't know what I was expecting.
