RandallThymes [undecided, comrade/them]

Got my first tip off today that the company is not doing as rosy as presented and cuts may be coming. Can’t fathom being unemployed again, zero savings because everything costs so much now and I only just financially recovered from my last bout of unemployment. Just have to keep going I guess.

Realizing I recognize someone on the bear website and we’ve likely met / have lots of mutual friends and spaces, now questioning my own opsec.

I will not elaborate further on the other person.

Copper is hell

I don’t want to look at or engage with Chinese people or anything related to them online, but see they’re the racists, not me

Bubba is in the video. Him and his wife conspired to get rich off selling a hogan sex tape during which he went on an unprompted racist rant about his daughters sex life.

I will never bother a bug that mistakenly finds it way into my home, other than taking it back outside.

There are some that want to be inside a home and then reproduce rapidly (cockroaches, mites), I’ll take action against those because we cannot share this space.

That said I wouldn’t use physical force or glue traps, killing individual bugs in an infestation won’t solve anything.

Editing this to add some extra detail and also to add onto plinky 's comment

Can you share what your main use case is? It’s a weird mix of parts.

GPU - I would aim for the 9060xt 16gb over the 7700xt, in my market it’s currently cheaper and has better or equivalent performance, more vram, next generation. 7800XT is also an option in that price range but at that point you might as well aim for the 9070XT.

CPU - If you are playing games and aiming for high frames, go for a x3D¹ model. Otherwise the 9700X should be fine, any current gen Ryzen7/9 CPU that fits your budget and use case should be fine. Almost all AM5 cpus are still extreme overkill in terms of performance anyway. AM5 should be supported for a long long time so you can also get a cheaper model and upgrade later when prices are a bit more reasonable.

Liquid Cooling - This also depends on your environment, I prefer liquid cooling as I live in a region with an absurd amount of dust and similar particles, have pets and carpet etc. Liquid cooling radiators are so much easier to clean than the inside of a air cooler, if appropriate air cooling is cheaper and still very effective.

Storage - I was going to recommend against the 2TB NVME but prices really are down, they’re in line with 512GB and 1TB NVME drives now, why not. You can just mix and match to find the best solution here.

¹ I can’t understate just how ridiculous the performance uplift is from a x3d cpu in terms of frames, but if you don’t have the monitor to even notice the difference it is pointless and you’ll just be taking the productivity hit. All AM5 Ryzen9 CPUs come with increased L3 cache anyway.

Docker compose is the answer to so many of their questions about the use case of docker in a home environment

The People’s Republic of China oversaw the largest increase of quality of life in human history, and the previously mentioned famine would be the last in a region where they have frequently occurred throughout history.

The PRC’s legacy is not one of causing famine, it is of ending it.

Is Islam definitely moving up? If so this feels like a 60:40 between Charles winning and having a multiple defense title run again, or him getting caught by Topuria and his career winding down from here.

The Metal Gear Series can be interpreted as a story about how we go from

soldiers (invading soldiers) they’re trying to make out as the real victims in all this?

to

We tried to build a better world for the poor soldiers and just exponentially increased the amount and scale of conflicts, guess militarism and interventionism were bad the whole time!

Along with it’s other themes of nuclear disarmament, anti-imperialism, govt. surveillance, information warfare, surrealism, a few episodes of the xfiles or twin peaks chopped up and randomly inserted, all in various stages of being coherent or half-baked.

Like, Solid Snake, Big Boss are fucking dumbos who need to have everything repeated to them twenty times before they grasp basic concepts, near every character in these games can only understand information by relating it to their experience on the battlefield, when they talk about how sad they are at being used as a human pawn in unnecessary conflicts it’s because they tried to get a job at a grocery store and got fired after a day for radioing their supervisor every time they had to press a new button on the cash register and then instinctively destroyed every cctv camera in the store with one of the 17 guns taped to their back, and maybe this is why it’s bad we raise people from birth to be part of a cult of killing machines.

If this isn’t a parody of American military worship

It is, this is a game where you get so mad at being betrayed by the US you join the Sandinistas and blow up Guantanamo bay

No-one posting here is in favour of how Ukrainians are currently being dragged to the front lines against their will to be used as cannon fodder. This post is about how openly the current Ukrainian Gov has promoted the nazi collaborators of the past to be today’s heroes and is asking Poland to pretend their crimes against humanity never happened in order to put up a united front against Russia.

I feel the same way as an nb person who will be treated and regarded as a he/him in most public situations, I just no longer feel like it’s my fault when I get rejected from spaces for being insufficently masculine or not displaying that masculinity appropriately, fuck you I wasn’t trying to meet your standards anyway.

I see myself as part of the community but here to be an ally and provide support while trying not to take up space.

I don’t know if it’s just one or two different people but I do notice every now and again there’s a new account on the site complaining about megathreads, frequent posters and that hb isn’t forming a revolutionary vanguard.

I would have been fired after a day for being unable to hide my disgust

What are you running on your current server? Is it an intel or apple silicon MacBook?

Pihole/adblock dns

nas server

Plex/jellyfin

Seedbox

IPTV

I currently use KDE as it provides some functionality that I need that is more difficult to access in gnome. But in general I prefer gnome, especially for people new to Linux, coming from Mac or for converting laptops into home servers.

My main criticism is that it seems tailor-made for MacBook users and needs to be hit with a hammer a few times to get the user experience correct for m+kb or ex-windows users.

I would be happy if visuals in games just stopped here, this game and the oblivion remaster have passed the eye test multiple times on tricking me into thinking they are real.

Hardware above a ps4 / around a ps5 level is very available too, even with current prices. Incremental gains are becoming less and less, a decent pc now should last 5+ years.

You can stack the multi-year waitlist for an ND screening with the multi-year waitlist for a gender clinic referral to get a multi-decade waitlist !

Wow, TERF Island can provide screenings for autism and ADHD in a timely fashion instead of a multi-year waiting list, but only when it provides an opportunity to be transphobic.
