Dog do you atleast have your girlfriend to hangout with when you get home after work I’m actually starting to feel bad for annoying you😭

stone meadow
#

you think i have time for dating between 2 jobs and 3 hours of travel time

late inlet
#

Gonna ask the devs to give you a raise🕊️

azure tangle
#

I know this feeling all too well. I wake up at 7am every day, get the oldest kiddo to school, take care of the other 1-3 kiddos depending on the day of the week, and nights I work from 4-11 I stayup till 2-3 am to spend time with the wife, then do it all over again,. 3-4 days a week I get about 3.5-4 hours of sleep a night

azure tangle

#

I’m also a rather busy man, between zomboid, counterstrike cases, and school, it leaves little room in my very packed schedule

stone meadow
#

im paid, this is my second job

#

and im glad i work for tis

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

im very lucky tho

#

cant imagine what id do if i didnt have this

sacred schooner
#

he gets to chat with your average discord degen and get paid for it

stone meadow
#

the pay is just enough to barely survive on my main job i went to college for

sacred schooner
#

we do it for free

azure tangle
#

Figure it out

late inlet
stone meadow
#

wouldnt be able to afford rent more than a single room tho

hot grove
stone meadow
#

In a shared house

#

on a job with a full qualification

azure tangle
sacred schooner
#

imagine if most people could save money

#

crazy right?

stone meadow
#

no wonder so many of my coworkers get married and stuck in marriages they hate, just to afford living

azure tangle
#

I'll take broke and happy over well off and miserable

stone meadow
#

Half of em still cant even afford housing even with dual income

#

just about affording rent on more than 1 room

#

man we're fucked

late inlet
stone meadow
#

i like my job

#

im an engtech

late inlet
#

Is that like coding?

stone meadow
#

its just that most jobs dont keep up with living costs

late inlet
#

I’m in pilot training that’s my goal

stone meadow
#

im better off than 75% of the country income wise and i still cant afford a mortgage or more than a 1 bed flat

stone meadow
#

yeah

stone meadow
late inlet
#

Damn you got one of those fancy accents per chance

stone meadow
#

engineers plan shit, techs build it

azure tangle
#

Its what I did.

#

But I own my house

stone meadow
#

its not normal

late inlet
stone meadow
#

my older family could work jobs that in the current economy cannot sustain one person much less a family

azure tangle
#

To be honest, I prefer living away from everything. I don't get any of the bullshit from riots/protests, we have an almost nonexistent crime rate, I can let my kids outside without worrying about some predator trying to take them.

stone meadow
#

yet they have houses

azure tangle
#

It's honestly nice.

stone meadow
#

in areas i live in

late inlet
stone meadow
#

america isnt doing good but uk is probably doing worse tbh

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

our land is limited

#

a lot of ownership is also not even ownership

#

its 100 year contracts

azure tangle

its always watching me

#

i dont know what it wants

stone meadow
#

You rent the land from the royals

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

like we're peasants

stone meadow
#

close though

late inlet
azure tangle
#

I kinda hope for it to fall apart

late inlet
late inlet
azure tangle
#

I doubt it. it's been a steady decline for years

stone meadow
#

i suppose at least with leases and mortgages its somewhat stable

#

at least its not rent going from £700 a month to £1200 within 4 years

azure tangle
#

Eh. Mortgage payments may not change unless you take out a second one, but leases can shift yearly.

azure tangle
#

At one point, for a mobile home, I was paying almost 2,000usd a month

azure tangle
#

If not, yall need to reform that

stone meadow
#

you basically "own" the property but you dont really

late inlet
stone meadow
#

its a quirk of the uk

late inlet
#

Dog that ain’t a quirk you need to survive a hundred years of paying bills on a home you got in your 30s to 20 in the chance you live that long to even have hope of passing it down

stone meadow
#

you can renew it

#

you dont ever truly own it tho

#

and they can get away with it cause there isnt much space for new buildings nor can you really find anything cheaper

stone nexus

stone meadow
#

I know a few people saving deposits for housing, but the requirement for the deposit increases a lot faster than they can save

stone meadow
#

So if they were saving 20k for a 10% deposit on a 200k house, that house now costs 400k, so they have to save for longer, and by the time they scrounge 40k the house is worth 600k

#

saving is no longer reasonable, loans are the main way to lock in a price, and that comes with its own interest and waste of money

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

Oh we got property taxes too

#

all kinds of taxes

#

but at least the bank cant easily take away the house

azure tangle
#

I think an immediate 28% of all my pay goes ttraight to taxes.

stone meadow
#

if you own it of course

azure tangle
#

Then another 1k+ a nyear in property taxes

#

1k a year in insurance for the property

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

Our tax brackets start at 20%

#

Its incremental tax tho

#

Im fine with tax, it goes to the right place, mostly

azure tangle
#

I'm not, ours doesn't

#

Where I live we have Federal, State, County, income taxes, and if you work outside the county you live in, you pay an out of county worker tax of like 3% f your income, so you lose 31-34% of your income before you ever see it.

#

Yet working in county, you ahve no sustainable jobs

#

It's mostly why I swing a hammer for a living

#

I can get paid cash, and make upwards of 200usd an hour if its my own personal business job

stone meadow
#

What, not reporting all income or is it somehow discounted

azure tangle
#

What do you mean? Cash I can just not report, if I feel like it.

stone meadow
#

but yeah id much rather lock in a mortgage than rely on rent

azure tangle
#

But being married, anything under 36k a year I get all tax back

stone meadow
#

I spoke to some of my coworkers who mortgage their houses and they pay so much less

#

like one of em paying £600 a month for a HOUSE

azure tangle
#

I was moreso saying that, since I run a small construction business, I make far more money than any job I could be employed at.

stone meadow
#

a proper one, 4 bed

#

That wont even get you a garage where i live

#

700 quid for a room in a share house

#

he got in 4 years ago

azure tangle
#

I got lucky, in all honestly, while I pay upwards of 1k a month for electric in the cold months, during the summer, my utilities average around 500-600 a month

#

No mortgage, no lease, no rent

stone meadow
#

yeah your money goes to your property

#

one of my biggest gripes is that im paying for someone else

azure tangle
#

Nah, it goes into my kids and onto my kids xD

stone meadow
#

and mine goes into a strangers pocket

azure tangle
#

Gotta feed and clothe them

stone meadow
#

and all i get out of it is living another day

#

all that money dumped into nothing

azure tangle
#

I'm not sure about UKs infrastructure, but I really think the US tax system is fucked, it lines greedy rich peoples pockets, and doesn't get used for infrastructure repair like it should in my state

#

The roads around me haven't been repaired in over 20 years

stone meadow
#

our taxes arent great either but i do reckon its at least doing something

#

rent tho is mostly going to landlords

azure tangle
#

Same here.

#

Landlords now think their 2bed 1 bath is worth 2400 a month

stone meadow
#

who already paid off the cost of the property years ago so i pay them and they get to do whatever with my payment that cost almost twice what they paid a month

azure tangle
#

It's why people in the US can't afford to save as well

late inlet
azure tangle
#

See, I've got a plan for when my parents are old and gone. I'll end up with their house, my house, and a second property I own, I'll rent all three out, and my wife and I are gonna just travel once the kids are out of the house

azure tangle
#

Can't afford that shit

stone meadow
late inlet
stone meadow
#

since we moved here with no ownership

#

My parents rent

#

i rent

#

we all rent

#

and it costs more and more

late inlet
#

USA doesn’t give a fuck bout vets for some reason

stone meadow
#

i know i wont inherit anything

azure tangle
#

Yeah, tell me about it. Im disabled due to service related injuries, and get a whopping 338 a month

stone nexus
#

Wrong, you will definitely inherit something

vital marten
#

Had to reseat my gpu because I baby it too much when I set it

stone nexus
#

Debts!

vital marten
#

Kept getting black screens lol

stone meadow
oak gazelle
#

gotta be assertive with your hardware

stone nexus
#

Ah, you lucky goober

stone meadow
#

i wont inhreit debts i just wont inherit shit

azure tangle
# stone nexus Debts!

That's one good thing about the USA, debts of a person go away when they die, unless they have a surviving spouse. It doesn't transfer to the children

vital marten
oak gazelle
#

also usually the most sturdy part aside from the psu

quasi slate
vital marten
#

Well I’ll be done messing with this thing later this week once I drop it off at the shop

#

Am not ripping the cpu cooler out

oak gazelle
#

but yeah easier to be really confident with hardware if you have a lot of system builds under your belt, so I get it

azure tangle
#

Even my first system build, I wasn't necessarily careful. And since then, I've built hundreds of towers

vital marten
#

Never built any

#

I feel like tearing it apart with little to no knowledge is probably a little bit more risk than putting it together no?

azure tangle
#

Computer internals aren't fragile, other than CPU pins

stone meadow
#

My pc kept getting corrupted due to a bad psu

oak gazelle
azure tangle
#

You read manuals?

#

I winged it

#

lol

oak gazelle
#

I live by rtfm

azure tangle
#

I'm a redneck brother, we don't read shit

stone meadow
#

itd die as im using my pc

#

it was a chinesium 1200w psu

azure tangle
#

We just rawdog everything

stone meadow
#

turns out it could only put out 650w

rain mango
#

i gently open the door

stone meadow
#

and i was stressing it with my extra load from the 5800x3d

#

so it would turn itself off and corrupt windows

stone meadow
#

lesson learned, use good psus

azure tangle
#

I've had the same PSU since 2014

stone meadow
#

i have an 850w plat corsair in my system rn

oak gazelle
#

then you live by seasonic psus, corsair just rebrands them

azure tangle
#

My PSU has been through about 7 iterations of my pc

stone meadow
#

too bad they decided to stop being consumer items

azure tangle
stone meadow
#

no more corsair due to ai

oak gazelle
#

excellent partnership that benefited soooo many people

upper rain
azure tangle
#

Also, my PC never shuts off, its ran nearly 95% of the year for the past 10+ years

vital marten
#

What’s to like about Roblox

#

Other than maybe having no games and it’s free, but even then.. it’s not 2010 anymore. There are plenty of fun free games

oak gazelle

#

My 1 year old and 2 year old are technically irish twins, almost exactly 11 months apart

upper rain
#

hehe im twins with my sister

#

but thats rlly cool!

azure tangle
#

I say technically because they are different mothers, but since they have a common biological parent, they are considered irish twins for being born in the same calendar year

#

Wait.... Have I been spelling calendar wrong my whole life?

#

Its and a at the end, not an e.

#

God damn.

vital marten
#

Specific details aside my friend’s kids are similar age to yours, he’s 22 already got 4 kids

To put it in perspective, I was a collosal manwhore.

If I'm being completely honest, my wifes the one that talked me out of never getting married. After a 7 year failed relationship with the mother of my first 2 girls, I intended to remain single, but met my wife on a dating app one day, went to have a smoke session with her, and hit it off. Rest is history.

#

Shes by far the coolest woman I think I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Having a partner who speaks the language is certainly helpful for learning, I imagine having a crush is a decent motivator too

you can always gamble the software

hopefully it doesnt break something

Its also endorsed as a good OS by LTT

If it breaks something its okay, its going onto a pc that has parts from pre-ryzen

Arch is the barebones OS that you build your own look on top of

onyx igloo

this is quite odd

oak gazelle

the nice thing about ubuntu is that it just supports most hardware, and it takes a dog of a pc to run it poorly

How barebones, It doesnt need to be fancy as there will never really be direct interraction with the actual pc its on

just pick out a flash drive, install ventoy to it and then download a few live linux distros to test and see what feels good

or so the pc says in bios

#

Its an old ass HP pc I think my parents had when I was in higschool

#

like 14-16 years ago

oak gazelle
#

for sure, and there will likely be bios updates you can install as well but one thing at a time, I'd bet after trying ubuntu vs like endeavorOS you'll know what feels more doable

#

no accounting for feel tbh

azure tangle
#

I don't necessarily need something thats insanely user friendly as long as I am capable of installing Jellyfin onto it.

oak gazelle
#

my current server is my last gen gaming hardware in my last pc I built for my family growing up, still has its windows xp license on the side

#

to be honest I'd just recommend running windows 10 ltsc

onyx igloo
#

need to figure out how to get a ton of RM in this game

azure tangle
#

eh, can't find my USB with windows on it lol

onyx igloo
#

i have only 1200 OC, and 14 RM

brazen lantern
azure tangle
oak gazelle
#

I've got a dual boot on my server but am currently just running 10 ltsc simply because I don't need anything newer for what it's doing

azure tangle
#

I guess I could install windows and just never activate a code.

oak gazelle
#

but it also has cachyos as a dual boot option should I feel comfortable migrating over eventually

#

oh no you won't be able to set a wallpaper

azure tangle
#

Oh nooooo, a pc Ill never actually look aaaat

lol

oak gazelle
#

yeah, I just remote into my server to do whatever I need to do in between reboots

#

I could care less about form its just the function I want

#

steam deck, main pc and laptop have all primarily just been linux systems though

azure tangle
#

Yeah, I've already crammed 4TB of storage and 16gb of ram into it, its going to strictly be for media and game server hosting (if it can run it)

Lately I've begun to shake for NO REASON AT ALL

oak gazelle
#

I've always used linux for stability in office productivity, windows for my games that just needed to work, and I dabbled in getting what overlapped working in linux

#

it's come so far the past ten years

azure tangle
#

@oak gazelle Only reason I'm considering using Jellyfin is because it seems incredibly easy to use from the few videos I've watched, its also opensource

oak gazelle
#

no judgement, it's a good option

azure tangle
#

But I would like to learn what linux has to offer as well.

oak gazelle
#

I've built all sorts of systems for all sorts of users, and the most interesting users were linux people

azure tangle
#

I've built a lot of systems too, but its almost always been windows, the few that used linux installed it themselves

last spoke
#

I hear mint is very new user friendly, but we went straight into EndeavourOS with KDE and it's just worked for us

oak gazelle
#

for a kid who sucked at coding but loved playing with hardware linux gave me an extra deck to pull from to mess with tech I hadn't played with yet

#

kde makes everything better

#

I used ubuntu for years going back to gutsy gibbon so like 2007 2008 and when I discovered kde kubuntu became my main distro

azure tangle
#

I've always been extremely interested in everything other than windows, all the way to RaspberryPi OS or whatever its called

last spoke
#

after we got our hands on the SteamDeck and messed around in the desktop mode it was like "Oh wait, this is literally awesome" and switched our PC over first chance we got

oak gazelle
#

the pc ecosystem is absolutely gobsmacking it its breadth, and being able to push hardware to do stuff it wasn't necessarily designed to do is always a draw

#

the thing is microsoft is responsible for the massive attractive prospect that linux has become, all because ms will create shitty OSes, then get it right every few iterations and then when inevitably people have to face either a new OS or 'risk it' on an older operating system that's not technically getting security updates anymore... they always wonder if there's something better and find the alternative of linux. they get a feel for what it can do and if its enough they dual boot and test it out, otherwise they're now aware of it for the next inevitable os exodus

But other than that it's quarantined

Can I use DAEMONTools? I already have it installed for ISO files that I install to this PC

oak gazelle

probably, though I haven't touched that software myself in a decade or so

azure tangle
#

Ah I can. Seems theres an option for "Bootable USB"

azure tangle
oak gazelle
#

either way have fun and may the tech odds ever be in your favor

azure tangle
#

Though i learned that there are a few games that just WILL NOT run if DAEMONtools is installed on the pc for some reason

#

League for example, it wont open at all on my pc. I think its something to do with the kernal level anticheat

oak gazelle
#

I'd recommend Ubuntu LTS, CachyOS, and like Linux Mint if you want to try other live distros

#

gotta love it when one bit of software makes another unusable

azure tangle
#

Oh, fuck you DTools. Im not paying to burn to a USB

oak gazelle
#

ventoy, free, and installs directly to your usb stick

azure tangle
#

downloading it now

oak gazelle
#

it'll format itand install the software then you can just drag and drop your isos

#

works with windows installer isos too

#

just make sure you look into bios/uefi settings since your pc hardware is around at the age of uefi

azure tangle
#

Yeah, I've already went through all the bios, doesnt seem it has UEFI

#

It's old enough that the USB are USB 2.0

oak gazelle
#

at least you don't have to deal with that headache lol

#

those overlapping tech years and pcs were not kind to each other

azure tangle
#

So, with ventoy, do I just drag ISOs into the formatted USB ?

oak gazelle
#

with ventoy run the exe and it'll walk you through selecting and installing it to your flash drive

azure tangle
#

Already did that

oak gazelle
#

larger the drive is the more isos it can hold obviously but yeah then you just copy and paste ISOs over to the ventoy partition

#

you might get a lot of performance out of it with cachyos given the customized performance kernels they have but even just out of the box solutions like debian or ubuntu are going to make that server feel like a new box for real

harsh vault
#

this chat so nerdy

azure tangle
#

Ill throw cachyos on it too and take a look

oak gazelle
#

eventually I plan on trying out bazzite and garuda but cachy really put a pin in that plan

azure tangle
#

I was thinking the same earlier. I thought "we're just being mega nerds atm and took over chat"

oak gazelle
#

oh yeah, between talking tech and doing impromptu tech support now and then I'm just terminally online

azure tangle
#

Let me ask this, do I need to install any drivers of any kind considering the PC has integrated graphics?

#

If so, how the fuck do I lol
