Sure, in 10 years we’ve gone from bleeding edge, with server/workstation motherboards being necessary, to immature, with having to do a little homework on which consumer hardware to buy. It’s not like VFIO is something for the general

Yeah that’s fine, i personally didn’t spend many hours tweaking my dotfiles in Linux just to spend half my time in an operating system that i hate that spies on me and doesnt have my stuff in it. I wouldn’t maintain my own custom kernel eit

VFIO is in a significantly better place than it was 10 years ago though. Proper IOMMU groups are more common on motherboards, flashing gpu bios less necessary, etc. and most importantly the community is bigger and older so there is a more k

I think I probably switched off dual booting to vfio around 2015. Before that for dual boot I had just followed the arch wiki and used two separate drives, using grub for booting both windows and arch. I don’t remember having issues with du

It’s just the kernel and virtualization stack that are custom. Dual booting is annoying as you lose access to your entire desktop environment. Want to tab out of your game and check your email client? Well you can’t unless you maintain anot

It’s a tiny market in the US. Most people just buy a razer or corsair from Best Buy if they do it in person.

Yup was touring some historical stuff in Tokyo and thought I’d look for an HHKB, checked their site and sure enough there was retailer a 10 minute walk away. Tiny shop in a more residential area a block or two off the main street.

Your comment getting flagged is ludicrous. I regularly search invoices for exactly those reasons.

Well not every company automatically generates a label on purchase so they have to come separately unless you want to wait a day for your receipt.

I would never want to not receive a receipt for an online purchase unless it was a $5 doodad that I didn’t even care if it arrived. You are out there on that one. If i want to know when i bought something for a warranty searching my email i

The media is the fourth estate. In the modern US the first three are often interpreted as the branches of government. Historically estates were often some combination of the nobility, the clergy, and the commoners.

Yes, it seems to me like one of the few places you can go to get a completely fish out water experience while also not feeling the wealth disparity. I’m not well travelled but, Canada just feels like home of course, and Italy didn’t feel st

At 8 I pitched a rocket car to the DoD and got a letter from my congresswoman and the Secretary of Defense. They were a bit bored pre 9/11 i think.

How about instead of protecting the kids we protect everyone and do something to stop these gargantuan companies from driving engagement at any cost in order to rake ad revenue. I’ve never met a single person who believed Facebook was a for

My experience using discord for technical projects and communities is largely similar to IRC. I jump in, ask a question in the appropriate channel, someone answers quite quickly, i say thanks, I leave. I’d prefer having openly searchable fo

Yes I agree there is no pure hosting/cloud company that comes close to the scale of the big 3 who also use their cloud infrastructure expertise and inventory to subsidize all the other parts of their businesses. Maybe it’s only possibl

I’m all for universal benefits and doing away with means testing but doing so without fixing our regressive tax system it truly is just a gift to the wealthy.

Modern reddit behaves like social media unless you limit yourself to very niche insular subreddits that do not reach r/all. Overall the site has become social media. Any sub that reaches critical mass gets absorbed into the slop hivemi

You’re asking for a hundred million people to personally overcome engineered manipulation rather than addressing the manipulators. What you say is true for the individual but it’s not a solution at scale for our societal issues. It’s much a
