The server in this case was the PC version of ARK which nom nom noms all the CPU/RAM.

I've actually run into this helping a friend host a game server on their residential internet in a more rural part of Texas. They had to call their ISP and request a static IP address at an extra cost of something like $5/mo.

According to https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-acknowledges-10-cpu-usage... it looks like a telemetry plugin called NvGSTPlugin.dll is responsible. I killed the container and moved the file and the problem seems to no

I just disable PBO on my 3900X - you are 100% correct that an extra 5% performance is not worth the extra 30% power draw/heat.

I've long since stopped tracking the current state of snap related issues so I don't have any relevant links to provide. 1) For auto updates, you can find plenty of examples via Google/Reddit searches that eventually tie back

Appreciate the willingness to raise these issues but Canonical has flat out rejected the idea of allowing sysadmins to disable automatic updates and run them during an arbitrary maintenance window. They offered up a mechanism to defer auto

In my case - $1250 would have been the contract/discounted price to the insurance company. List price was almost 2x that amount.

That wasn't a dig at you - that was a dig at snaps. My primary objections to snapd are: * updates are pushed/applied and services restarted on an arbitrary schedule which means you can't test updates prior to rolling them ou

Snap remains the more capable tool: it supports server apps on machines with no GUI Ah, yes - who wouldn't mind their web server, rdbms, hypervisors, etc going down while they are upgraded and restarted automatically whenever

The hard way - I looked up the average price for the procedure and pestered them for up front pricing. When they told me what they were going to charge I walked out of the facility without another word and went to the local clinic. I also

It is absolutely insane what insurance companies will actually pay for - mine was fulling willing to pay $1250 for a simple ultrasound procedure at a hospital facility vs $150 at a specialty clinic. I made the smart decision to have it don

Also, sure, poor people in non-urbanized, less technologically advanced situations are happier but at what trade-offs? I grew up in a small oilfield town. I, fortunately, managed to escape but I can tell you with no equivocation th

I'm really going to be unhappy when one of them finally gives out and I have to replace them - amazing S-PVA panels. :(

Hrm... how would these master keys get stored securely on Linux without a dedicated TPM? It seems that all these methods seem to want to desperately replace "something I know" with "something I have" that can break, get

So far all I've seen mention of is MacOS, Windows, iOS and Android. Where will Linux running on older non-TPM hardware platforms fit into this ecosystem?

Samsung seems to have added a battery care feature that will detect if your device is mostly plugged in all the time and charge to 85% instead of 100%.

Yeah, .gov to the rescue. I am still kicking myself to this day I didn't throw money into AIG when it was trading around $1-2 per share. I did make out decently off BoA stock in the same time period though.

Suspension from participating in public grant programs (no free taxpayer cash for you - sorry) and a fine on the order of 5% of yearly gross revenue per instance would help ensure that corporations are not incentivized to lie. Of course, t

I think they should all be opt-in as well. However, as a developer and pretend sysadmin, I am generally a nice guy about not turning off telemetry on software products with a user facing UI that I use frequently.

I am jaded and probably being a little uncharitable. However, I don't know Russ personally so I have no reason to place a high level of confidence that a Google employee isn't going to make decisions that align more with Google&#

Oh Google - never stop being you. Not only is it going to be opt-out (because of course it would be coming from Google), I really like the whole "wait a week before sending telemetry" part that just coincidentally has the benefit

Same - there is just something about the forums style experience (and especially SA) that appeals to me more than other forms of social media.

Similar to how many people back in the day used "csharp" instead of C# so search engines could actually find things.

My only complaint with Bitwarden is that the 1Password extension seems to have fewer issues automatically recognizing login fields for web sites. In most cases, that's an easy enough fix via custom fields in Bitwarden but the UX aroun
