I’ve never had maggot cheese, but both horse and puffer fish are pretty good.

Not good enough to go out of your way to eat them, but if you’re already in an area that serves them, they’re worth trying.

For something that I think an app or service could actually solve, I wish there was an online database of PC hardware where people could submit hardware compatibility reports for various OS’s as well as workarounds or solutions to get things working.

Something that would be a cross between PCpartpicker and protondb in terms of functionality. For example, if you’re buying a new PC you could go to this hypothetical site, list out the hardware your considering (or if it’s a prebuilt pick that), and get a list of user reports for compatibility with various Linux distros, BSD distros, and Windows versions, alongside suggestions for how to get things working. Or conversely, pick an OS and filter your hardware options by that.

And VacuumTube for an app like experience on HTPC’s, linux based set top boxes, as well as MacOS and windows or linux based tablets.

Edit: added hyperlink to projects github page.

Isn’t the list of shells that are “not fully POSIX compliant” basically every shell in modern use aside from sh?

I’ve been using linux off and on for almost 20 years, though only did a full transition to linux for everything about two years ago. I use debian for the servers in my homelab and Fedora on all my other computers.

Something tells me this chart is based on an external assessment of competence/confidence not a self-assessment, because according to the chart I should be a guru, but in actuality I know nothing.

If they’re considering optical media, typical BD-R, while viable, may not be be the best choice. BD-R M-Discs would probably be a better choice for backups. Especially if they’re planning on needing access to the data over a period of decades, which would be potentially useful for familiy photos/videos and critical documents.

They are more expensive, as is the drive needed for them, but not by enough to be out of reach or even unreasonable given the additional durability of the discs.

Please don’t stick a thumbdrive into my penis.

I’ll learn the theremin for this effort

I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.

If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.

pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.

And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.

I would have thought transmen would prefer Python.

!because of it’s clearly phallic naming!<

Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.

I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.

I’m a sysadmin/db admin and currently I’m waiting for a backup script to finish running so that I can fix some shit a user broke.

Might be a bit late on this, but ProxMox doesn’t really handle assigning threads to the e/p cores. That’s handled by the kernel and as long you’re running kernel version 6.1 or greater you should be good on that front.

If you really need to, you can also pin specific VMs to specific cores. So that if you’ve got something that always needs the performance it can always run on the p-cores and things that aren’t as demanding can always run on e-cores.

That said, especially if you’re over provisioning, it’s probably better to let the scheduler in the kernel handle thread assignments.

If I’m reading your example right, I don’t think that would satisfy three either. Three copies of the data on the same filesystem or even the same system doesn’t satisfy the “three backups” rule. Because the only thing you’re really protecting against is maybe user error. I.e. accidental deletion or modification. You’re not protecting against filesystem corruption or system failure.

For a (little bit hyperbolic) example, if you put the system that has your live data on it through a wood chipper, could you use one of the other copies to recover your critical data? If yes, it counts. If no, it doesn’t.

Snapshots have the same issue, because at the root a snapshot is just an additional copy of the data. There’s additional automation, deduplication, and other features baked into the snapshot process but it’s basically just a fancy copy function.

Edit: all of the above is also why the saying “RAID is not a backup” holds true.

I don’t think this meets the definition of 3-2-1. Which isn’t a problem if it meets your requirements. Hell, I do something similar for my stuff. I have my primary NAS backed up to a secondary NAS. Both have BTRFS snapshots enabled, but the secondary has a longer retention period for snapshots. (One month vs one week). Then I have my secondary NAS mirrored to a NAS at my friends house for an offsite backup.

This is more of a 4-1-1 format.

But 3-2-1 is supposed to be:

• Three total copies of the data. Snapshots don’t count here, but the live data does.

• On two different types of media. I.e. one backup on HDD and another on optical media or tape.

• With at least one backup stored off site.

I can’t speak to AI performance, but given you’re stated goal of lower idle power consumption, I’d go with the 14900K, not the KS as you have listed.

Reason being the $250 price difference between the two, when the KS is just a slightly higher binning of the K with an additional 200MHz on the boost clocks. With that higher boost being something you’re unlikely to practically see without a substantial and robust cooling system, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money.

The reason I’d go with the K over the 10940X is the lower limit on it’s power consumption. The E cores are very efficient and can down clock substantially meaning it idles at really low power. The 10940X doesn’t have that benefit.

Beyond that, I’d say look at IPC, per thread, per max sustainable clock of each core, to get a general out look on performance.

Note: all of the above assumes we’re working within your listed options. My actual recommendation would be an AMD 7800x3d or 9800x3d.

Why should he fear power?
