[languid siren]

[smoky flicker]

yo

[gilded quest]

Second pulsar gear

Although I don't own any yet

But I've recommended them to a ton of people and heard 0 complaints

[manic torrent]

My mouse is made from regular matter

[solemn axle]

My day is going great

How is yours?

[heady flicker]

time for you to whip out that usb drive that you stored your key in'

[smoky badge]

Mine is fantastic. I just set up two new windows install

[fresh sorrel]

Lmao “look for a text file”

[solemn axle]

Yep, it is stored on the server and now I need to figure out how to open NextCloud on the phone

And not only download but also unzip it from tgz

[fresh sorrel]

Android or iOS

[solemn axle]

Android, IG the app on F-Droid will be fine

[fresh sorrel]

Yeah you should be fine

Do you not have another laptop or smth you could just send it to or open it with

[solemn axle]

Yeah, it is just annoying

[fresh sorrel]

Or just like text it to someone who does

[solemn axle]

I have but it is connected to the another LAN

[fresh sorrel]

Ahh

[solemn axle]

My stupid setup has 2 LANs and only one pc have access to both simultaneously

[fresh sorrel]

Download the file on ur phone, send to pc, unzip, use key

[solemn axle]

I backup my files into 4gb tar.gz named 1, 2, 3...

[fresh sorrel]

Pain

[solemn axle]

[fossil frost]

i have 2 full calf tattoos... they were not fun to get 😄

[fresh sorrel]

Open your next cloud instance publicly

[solemn axle]

It is open, but up speed outside of my network around 10 MB/s

Because isp

[fresh sorrel]

Your network has an impressive amount of roadblocks

Wild

[solemn axle]

Yeah, I wasn't in my best condition doing it

[fresh sorrel]

Were you high

[solemn axle]

Stressed out because of exams

[fresh sorrel]

Gotchya

How is it two lans

[solemn axle]

And drunk at evenings

[fossil frost]

first one

second one

[fresh sorrel]

Aye those look cool

[fossil frost]

and yes, i like having them 😄

[fresh sorrel]

Are you bleeding on your right leg lmao

[fossil frost]

that was from the tattoo having been completed about 45 minutes before that photo 😄

[fresh sorrel]

Fair xD

[prisma anvil]

its almost like people dont realise tattoos are stabs puncturing the skin

[fresh sorrel]

I have a tattoo I know I just didn’t know it was fresh

[fossil frost]

the one im planning for my left arm/partial chest/back... is gonna suck hard balls to get done

[fresh sorrel]

How’s the colors lasting

[fossil frost]

had the right leg for 2 years now, still looks as good as day 1

[fresh sorrel]

Hell yeah :3

I almost got a tattoo on my right thigh but the girl I was getting it from delayed the appointment twice and wasted a bunch of time

[prisma anvil]

so find someone else who would do it in a timely manner

[fresh sorrel]

Yeah I need to

[prisma anvil]

no reason to be put off getting it done

[fresh sorrel]

I want a very specific style

And haven’t found anyone I like yet

[prisma anvil]

thats fair

[fresh sorrel]

I already have one on my shoulder

[solemn axle]

Well, I planned to do it with ISP 1, but when I asked to get public IP and open ports they put the price around $15 month, another ISP did it for $2 month

But some of the hardware like TV box doesn't like when it is being connected to the internet by the second isp because they are competitors and TV box is being provided by ISP 1

So I have a weird "main" lan that has my home server and that runs the server, and the side kick lan that has hardware like TV box and other stuff I do not trust so they use ever-changing ip but can connect to the main LAN's home server via forwarding magic

[fossil frost]

thigh isnt that bad to get tattooed, my wife had hers done there, and you can hardly tell its being done... guy who did my tattoo, was almost fully covered with them... he said that theres 2 places hes not gonna get re-done at any point... calves... and scrote

[fresh sorrel]

Plus I kindof want to get a friend or smth to design it so it’s more personal

Or myself

[fossil frost]

guy who did both of mine is a friend of a friend... i told him "this is my rough idea"... and he drew it for me

[fresh sorrel]

Ah fair

[silver sun]

188

[fresh sorrel]

That’s cool :3
I kindof just want my tattoos to be detached from as much as possible so it remains personal

[solemn axle]

Sry, for the mistakes, I'm not used to typing on the phone

[fresh sorrel]

You’re good

But yeah I get that. I only use the ISP I have rn cuz family still uses cable too -_-

[solemn axle]

Okay, well

[fossil frost]

i wanna get a phoenix on my left arm, facing outwards.. with its wings swept back onto my chest/back, so it looks like my upper arm IS the phoenix

[solemn axle]

Situation got from bad to worse

I have 20 archives and I have not found a key in the first 15

[fresh sorrel]

Whup

[solemn axle]

I should check my usbs

[fresh sorrel]

Lmao

USB drawer

I always keep mission critical files on like. Google drive as well as locally

Or like external drives

[solemn axle]

Windows dualboot has nothing critical ig

[fossil frost]

anything i CANT lose... i go 3/2/1.. always... but i over-do 3/2/1

[solemn axle]

But it is just anmoying to reinstall

I'm switching back to gboard

[fossil frost]

wedding photos are on google drive, AND amazon s3... and also on a burned DVD at my in-laws house... and a usb drive in my house... and... on my pc

[fresh sorrel]

By the time you go through every storage medium you have I feel like you’d have windows already reinstalled lmao

[fresh sorrel]

Then an EMP blast takes them all out

Solar radiation

[solemn axle]

Windows reinstallation isn't the worst, the debloatating and c++ toolkit installation is painful

[fossil frost]

EMP wont touch a dvd

[fresh sorrel]

Oh I missed dvd

[prisma anvil]

ya dont need a key to activate windows

you can run a script on cmd to activate it

[fresh sorrel]

I keep all my files enscribed in stone

[fossil frost]

check the server rules 🙂

[solemn axle]

Massgrave I believe, but it isn't legal tbh

Also I don't remember the last time I did it

[mortal kraken]

Technically mdisc, it's very physically strong iirc to physical rotting

[solemn axle]

I gotta say

Bitlocker is shit

I thought it was like LUKS

But this shit shit itself twice already

[fossil frost]

bitlocker is fine at what it does.. never once needed to use any recovery key on it, except for the 1 time i accidentally killed my TPM

[sour tinsel]

Home from my tattoo babyyyy

[solemn axle]

It is just weird it can't get keys from tpm

[sour tinsel]

How so?

[fossil frost]

it does get keys from the tpm.. only reason it wont be able to do, is if you cleared them

or if you chainloaded into windows.. rather than booting to the windows bootloader directly

[solemn axle]

I can boot Linux, thus keys are present there, at least for one system that I installed after windows

[fossil frost]

did you boot into grub, and then tell grub to boot to windows boot loader?

[solemn axle]

Nope, directly from UEFI to windows bootloader

[fossil frost]

thats unsupported for your TPM... because that breaks chain of security... you have to go UEFI -> windows boot manager...

[solemn axle]

Also Systemd-boot -> windows worked

Before

[fossil frost]

ah ok... going to grub first, then windows boot manager... is the only trime i ever saw "you did something wrong" with bitlocker

either way, feels like a user issue rather than a bitlocker issue 🙂

[solemn axle]

I guess , I just can't figure out what exactly triggered it

[fossil frost]

also.. i turned bitlocker off for my home machines... completely unneeded for security, and completely unneeded for overhead

[solemn axle]

Can something remove only one key from tpm?

[fossil frost]

yes

its on for my work laptop, but thats only because work policy says i have no choice, because of one of our ISO certifications

[solemn axle]

~~ nixos flushed tpm, weird, unlikely ~~

I usually encrypt only machines I bring out of home

Welp

I guess fuck bitlocker

And I return back to basics

shared Veracrypt partition

[prisma anvil]

I wasn't saying to do it, I was saying it can be done is all.
but cheers for the notice

ah okay gotcha

noted

[solemn axle]

Well I decrypted this shit

And apparently I had no unrecoverable files there, that's good

[prisma anvil]

thats good to hear then 🙂

[frank idol]

yes i agree.

[sour tinsel]

whats that

[solemn axle]

App that allows you create encrypted drives

[sour tinsel]

oh?

i might need that

[wise tundra]

From Cisco's router installation manual

Step 1 Connect a USB Type A-to-Type A cable to the USB console port, as shown in the figure below.

Why would you use a USB-A to A cable as a console cable?

I wanna throw up

A to A should be illegal

I use an ASA 5506-X as my main router and it uses Mini USB for serial

I actually kinda like it

I have it connected to my home server so I can use ssh to access the serial console of the router

[left summit]

is US$725 (before tax) too much to spend on books?

[wise tundra]

Yes

I'd try to find em used cause that's too much

The most I've ever spent on a book is 18€

[left summit]

Yes

[vapid smelt]

what a fucking neeeeeeerd

are they all signed harry potter books

[grim belfry]

Just be thankful you can use usb and don’t need a rollover cable

[alpine gale]

Them: "But I need a rectangular USB cable to connect my laptop to my TV!"
Me: "I hate to tell ya customer, but that's not how USB products work..."
Them: "You're wrong! Why would they put rectangle USB on my TV and laptop?"

🤦

[grim belfry]

[alpine gale]

The police would like to know your location.

[manic torrent]

Why would you do this to yourself.

[wise tundra]

I mean if it's use RS232 or RJ45 for console I could just grab a cable from work. We have a shelf full of Cisco console cables

[grim belfry]

At least there’s mini usb on there for you to use

[wise tundra]

Cause I don't wanna use the ISP provided router cause it's ancient and has shit security and the ASA 5506-X I happened to get from work cause when the official support dropped, they removed all of theirs from use

[wise tundra]

On ASA, yes

But the USB-A port is on an ASR920 that I'm configuring

[manic torrent]

Yeah exactly! Get a router that is ... Supported and .... Not Cisco.

[wise tundra]

I'm happy with my router

[vapid smelt]

but my isp gave me one for free bob!

[wise tundra]

I get DOCSIS at home so the ISP router was ancient

[grim belfry]

lol that must be fun

[wise tundra]

I now have a newer ISP router but I set it to bridged mode and use my ASA as the router

My colleague uses the same ISP router as his main router and he's been constantly complaining about it

[vapid smelt]

i am very sad i removed a credit card sized rust hole form my passenger side door and the local junk yard only has a white car i can pull the door from when my car is blue

[wise tundra]

Imagine having enough money for a car

I just paid my rent and now I have 0.31€

[left summit]

Nope. Lots of Japanese books. 56 assortment of Light Novels and Manga

[vapid smelt]

mhm you definitely do need to download ram, if you havent gotten 64 gigs your missing out

[grim belfry]

I just downloaded an extra 32GB of RAM from https://downloadmoreram.com
It really works!

[rough temple]

speaking of ram downloads, having page/swap on a NAS is effectively downloading ram, someone even managed to use gdrive as swap: https://blog.horner.tj/how-to-kinda-download-more-ram/

oh yeah LTT covered this too, never watched that episode tho

i just downloaded 32 gigs too im so happy i can open more chrome tabs!!!👍👍👍😱😱😜

Hi!

google is rolling out its airtag competitor but its not great at the moment

AirTags are such a strange concept IMO

Like I can understand putting them on little things for beeping and whatnot, but GPS tracking anything that you can put a tiny package on is a rough idea

[eternal hearth]

huh

[lilac bear]

it's probably easier to put a phone in and then track that phone

making sure that phone has a sim card

[grim belfry]

Why would you use a phone when you can use an actual GPS tracker lmao

You sure sound crazy

Bro it’s mf 5G towers burning our CPUs or some shit

[smoky badge]

[craggy rose]

Lol

[waxen forum]

Ignore that I’m trolling but seriously I feel like so many people are having cpu issues

Like everywhere I look there is always problems

[serene dew]

I've had two i9 13900ks both fried 4-5 friends of mine 💀 (why punctuation is important haha)

[waxen forum]

I’m a bit fried too rn chill

😭😭

[tidal minnow]

Youve killed 8-10 people with your cpus?

[waxen forum]

Bro big cpu want our CPUs to melt so we gotta get new ones

I’m telling ya I’m not fucking crazy

[tidal minnow]

So 4-5 of your friends have had fried cpus?

[waxen forum]

Yes sir

[tidal minnow]

I have 2 guesses

As to why

3*

1. Someone oced a little too much with the voltage which = degradation and frying
2. Asus screwed bios wth x3d cpu whivh exploded
3. Amd bulldozer cpu

[waxen forum]

Yeah I got asus mb

I got defaults setup so idk if that would cook it

[tidal minnow]

The asus bios issue was only temporary with x3d cpus

Like a week or two

[waxen forum]

Hmm I mean I only recently updated bios so maybe it’s been cooking for long time or nah

[tidal minnow]

And this^ it was solved quickly

[serene dew]

Is a 12700K running at 1.32V okay? I can't go any lower, it actually crashes like that if I try to fold on the CPU. The CPU is slightly overclocked to 5GHz. Might also just use the default settings for summer because it doesn't get me much additionnal performance, just like 50W of extra heat

[tidal minnow]

Have you tried undervolting to see if you can reduce the heat?

[waxen forum]

I got warranty with scan uk they’re fixing it rn for the second time I would do it myself but it’s all custom water blocks etc I’m lazy to learn how to take that all apart

I just wish I wouldn’t have to send it back every 9 months

Yeah GPU waterblock and cpu I wish I never went with all that stuff

[tidal minnow]

I couldnt trust myself to maintain a water cooled build

[waxen forum]

So much hassle

[tidal minnow]

Aircooling all the way babe

Ps120/pa120se supremacy!!!!

My £15 cooling beast

[serene dew]

Yes, lowering the voltage any further makes it crash in some scenarios. I'm running 1.195V adaptive, which gets up to 1.32 under load and under medium to light loads it can spike to 1.35V. Undervolt protection also sucks, I'd love to adjust it in the OS, it's a hassle to keep going into the BIOS, change something, reboot, test, reboot to BIOS, change, reboot to Windows, etc

[grim belfry]

<@&750150305383186585>

[tidal minnow]

What is the stock configuration for voltage?

Just ask your class

Breh

[waxen forum]

Here my finished build I can’t even begin to figure out how I’d maintain this myself

Is it easy to learn or nah because my warranty only has like one more year

[hot tartan]

Why water cool if you arent willing to learn how to maintain it

[waxen forum]

Me being a dumbass

I think I just gotta replace the water like once a year and I’m good

But if I have cpu issues again I’ll cry

[sturdy moth]

beautiful

I'm gonna check later, not at my PC rn. It was just all set to Auto, it spiked to like 1.375 under low loads at 5.0

ye but usb c usually uses faster technology doesnt it

Tbf, a 4.0 would be a better experience than a 2.0

Whatever the newest is then, 3.2?

Oh I’m aware, but that’s semantics over a dumbly worded question

Either way, a usbc 3.2 will probably be your best bet, it likely won’t be a great experience but if you have to do it, it’ll be better than an old one

I mean i dont buy just on assumptions theres always the technology thats being used underneath the title

and Im surprised 3.2 is still slow for an OS

[dense field]

plugging in an ssd would be a lot less painful based on personal experience

[full fossil]

Okay

I need something that can fit into a pocket tho

ive never seen a 2.5 form factor irl

so dunno how big they really are

[dense field]

its the size of a wallet

[full fossil]

ohh okay

[vocal spade]

hi

[harsh quartz]

Even seen an external usb SSD?

[full fossil]

you mean an SSD thats as small as a thumb drive?

or a 2.5 that connects via usb

[harsh quartz]

They make external drives that are roughly similar in size to a 2.5, but they’re meant to be connected VIA usb, I was just gonna use it as a size comparison but if you haven’t seen one then it doesn’t matter.

[full fossil]

Wait there actually are SSDs that look like a regular thumb drive

but again the speed is 1GBs read 1GBs write

https://us.transcend-info.com/product/portable-ssd/esd310

woah check this, it says 10GBps

Oh damn I didnt notice the lowercase b

So would that be slow you think?

id say like

not more than 300 mbps

that being megabyte per second

[dense field]

300 if youre lucky

[full fossil]

All I need is a VM, and idk how much a Linux ISO has, probably 1.5 GB?

So would that be downloaded way slower?

than on a regular NVMe

[dense field]

yes, and boot slower as well

[full fossil]

you want a linux distro?

check out wsl

ye i wanna be completely portable

[full fossil]

ah

Damn Im gonna look into some externals then

tbh, i used a 4gb USB for my portable linux distro

it worked just fine for me

[dense field]

it also depends on which distro you choose, some boot into ram, saving your drive from premature death and also running faster

[full fossil]

I use Arch btw

Im checking out the external drives and most have 1GBs read and write too

[dense field]

youll probably be able to find some guides on making arch run off external smoother. Read and write dont matter if you are plugging in via usb, itll all get capped to 300

[full fossil]

Found Kingston one with 2GBs

[edgy mica]

hello i dont know if is the right place to ask but im looking into modding my xbox 360 s and i need some help with getting a cheap soldering kit and what type of wire i need pls and thank yoooou

[full fossil]

Ok so for a VM and regular use USB is fine?

I dont download games

[harsh quartz]

Oh damn I just realized my usb is 3.1, thought it was 3.2 😦

Doesn’t Louis Rossman sell a soldering kit? Idk if it’s any good

Also idk if it’s cheap

[keen aurora]

hi!

[dense field]

i personally would not use a vm and use live boot instead if you want it to be portable

[full fossil]

louis rossman sells soldering kits? since when

[dense field]

look into pinecils

[full fossil]

Found 500GB 3.2 gen 2x2 for 77 bucks

hopefully its not gonna be slow

[hot tartan]

Pinecil is great

[harsh quartz]

Uhhhhh idk

[dense field]

it will be, usb OS is always slow regardless of what you give it. Latency sucks for the usb standard

[harsh quartz]

Looks like he doesn’t anymore but I know he did at one point, and he website/store still has the category for it

[hearty spear]

nothing to do with anything

[full fossil]

oh okay i thought theres a difference between usb 2.0 and usb 3.2 gen 2

glad to find out theres absolutely no difference according to TKitch (He/Him)

[hearty spear]

on the connector itself?
It's not

[dense field]

usb c is a port type, not a standard

[full fossil]

read what he pinged

[hearty spear]

USB C isn't a standard

[hearty spear]

you read it

[dense field]

It is far from a standard, theres so many different standards that all use the port itself

[full fossil]

i just did

[hearty spear]

USB C != USB 3 Gen <whatever>

I have a shit ton of USB 2 cables that have USB C on one end

[harsh quartz]

Okay so I’ll agree, USUALLY usbc has been used on newer devices using newer USB standards, but it’s a bad assumption to think that everything USB is all the newest USB standard, iPhone cables, for example, use USBC at USB 2.0 speeds

[full fossil]

Thank you but obviously i would doublecheck the standard before buying

I didnt know that I have to specify that i wouldnt be buying blindly

[edgy mica]

i mean around 50 to 80 gbp

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but I was nicer about it, used more layman terms

[hearty spear]

around here, yes you do, actually.

[harsh quartz]

It’s not obvious, given this communities user base

[full fossil]

Oh okay

[edgy mica]

what wire would i use for modding a xbox

[full fossil]

yea that was sarcasm brother, lets leave it there

[harsh quartz]

No, it was pretty clearly sarcasm

[full fossil]

you think it wasnt sarcasm when i said "oh okay i thought theres a difference between usb 2.0 and usb 3.2 gen 2
glad to find out theres absolutely no difference according to TKitch (He/Him)
"

[hearty spear]

if you want a USB drive that performs well?
Get a 2230 NVME and put it in a small USB Enclosure.

[edgy mica]

dam

[full fossil]

oh shit my bad

[hearty spear]

https://www.amazon.com/QWIIZLAB-Enclosure-Supports-Aluminum-Orange/dp/B0CJF88CKB
one of these with a 2230 nvme will /smoke/ any USB thumb drive you can buy

[full fossil]

Okay thanks

[harsh quartz]

The “red” option is clearly not red :p

It’s the best of the 3 options, but it is by no means red

[hot tartan]

Gone

[heady flicker]

oh that's funny

I forgot discord addded that feature

[hot tartan]

No I am ok

[heady flicker]

I think that guy fell for it

this is such a stupid idea from discord

[harsh quartz]

Fake links?

[heady flicker]

yep

there's very little reason to overcomplicate a text messsaging app

[harsh quartz]

I’ve never seen the reason for fake links to exist

[summer folio]

what is a stupid ideae

[harsh quartz]

The only really terrible idea that they’ve integrated

[summer folio]

What is

[harsh quartz]

The fake links

[summer folio]

Like this?
https://FakeLink.Com

[heady flicker]

www.youtube.com

[summer folio]

Oh

[heady flicker]

no I don't know how to do it

basically, put a link over a text

yeah like that one

[harsh quartz]

No, like the links that look like other links, being able to rewrite an embed

[heady flicker]

except that's a bot that fell for it

[harsh quartz]

Yeah, funny timing

[summer folio]

Gotcha

[heady flicker]

lol

okay let me see if I can fix mines

nope

I give up

[heady flicker]

did you have to enable it in the settings

[summer folio]

? I just asked if you talked about https:// creates hyperlinks

[heady flicker]

oh

oh right I forgot it does this

I guess that's some good oversight from discord

but, I don't think it's good enough

they shouldn't allow anyone to type something that looks like a link

[summer folio]

I always first do a scan on VirusTotal.Com

[heady flicker]

too much effort

[solemn axle]

You always have https://discord.com/vanityurl/dotcom/steakpants/flour/flower/index11.html

Oh my god

[solemn axle]

Isn't much believable without https

Omg free money /s

[heady flicker]

I've gotten so much giftcards now

and a ton of cpu usage

[tepid haven]

Did you download any of the free ram?

[solemn axle]

https￶://discord.gift/AjkdAJKfdaf this would work better

[heady flicker]

I downloaded the 48gb ram everyone's been talking about

Why are there no voice channels ?

[rich marlin]

Oh okay, thanks

[velvet marsh]

There used to be, and if you ever went in it you would know why.

[shut portal]

is it alright to just post my tech support thread link in one of the tech chats to drag people there?

[hot tartan]

No.

[shut portal]

[harsh quartz]

No,

[hot tartan]

Wrong ping

[full fossil]

Hey howdy hoo

[flat pivot]

and why would I know that?

[velvet marsh]

It was awful

[flat pivot]

makes sense I guess

[hearty spear]

think about it:
Giant pub chat on a 50K+ person mostly public discord.
Do you really think trolls wouldn't ruin it in 15 seconds?

[flat pivot]

yea I never went to vc much

[harsh quartz]

Even then, assume it wasn’t trolls, 50k+ people and like, a handful of VCs, no one would even be able to talk, unless it was limited to like 20 people max , then you’d have people upset they couldn’t participate

[hot tartan]

Sorry bud, got too many mentees right now

[full fossil]

Is everyone ping enabled?

[hot tartan]

No

[full fossil]

Ah ok

Lol

sorry

[dreamy prism]

Hardware Swap is your friend

[storm wraith]

rmed here

[hot tartan]

Or an ebay bidding war

[storm wraith]

what about on the subreddit? I couldnt find any rule against it

[storm wraith]

ill try that, i also made a post on the hardware swap

kk thanks

[hearty spear]

have you completed any projects that you can show people your work if they ask to see your stuff?

[harsh quartz]

Damn. That mod ping did em dirty

[rare yew]

Has anyone had any issues taking the LTT screw driver and all the extra bits through TSA on a carry on?

[harsh quartz]

You don’t want TSA searching your bits?

[hot tartan]

I dont think you can take it in a carry-on

[rare yew]

TSA site says tools 7” or shorter

[harsh quartz]

I assume the screwdriver is longer than 7”

Also, that’s a weird requirement

[rare yew]

I know

[harsh quartz]

Like, not how sharp the tool is, or anything like that, just the length of the tool. For when you need a 6” screwdriver on a plane. We’ve all needed that before, right?

[tranquil rock]

Hi

[harsh quartz]

Do you need a 6” screwdriver on a plane?

[hearty spear]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/13jb66s/psa_airport_security_will_confiscate_your_ltt/

on the LTTStore page: Total length (bit clip closed): 213mm (8.4")

so, def over 7"

[harsh quartz]

It’s fuckin weird to have a screwdriver on a plane anyways

Even the comments on that post are just asking why they did that

[dull granite]

should make a pink screwdriver

call em lady bits

[harsh quartz]

Call em manly bits for the joke

[hearty spear]

Linus' bits

Ends in something.ru.com

[hearty spear]

ru.com is a .com domain, not a russian domain

[full fossil]

Mhm may we talk in dms?

[hearty spear]

nope

I don't do dm support

[full fossil]

It was to show u the link

[hearty spear]

sure, DM me the link

ru.com was created in 1996 and has been around since then.
But it's behind an anonymous screen, so nobody can tell who owns it

https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?domain=ru.com

https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup

[hearty spear]

here's the info. such as it is, I wouldn't trust links to there.

[rare yew]

Well the issue is we are driving down to Florida but flying back as we are moving my sister

[harsh quartz]

Yeah but will you have any checked luggage?

[rare yew]

Nope sure don’t

[harsh quartz]

Sounds to me like you need a stubby

[solemn axle]

can't you just buy any domain anyway?

like, does it even have a difference apart from SEO

[hearty spear]

yes and no?

If you get into sketchy domain registrars, you're way less likely to get clicks.

[karmic flame]

Thats not how that works

[solemn axle]

Oh, cool, i didn't know it, thx god i went for porkbun

[hearty spear]

for most people if they see a .xxx or .ru domain? they're gonna think twice about clicking

[solemn axle]

.tk

[hearty spear]

lol

I should totally get a .tk domain for myself

[karmic flame]

Oh yes def, I was talking about domain registrars. They have nothing to do with traffic or clicks.. U can buy a domain from any domain registrars and transfer it to another if u want.

[hearty spear]

I know you can do it with TLDs they work with, but I don't know if you can do it with any TLD

[solemn axle]

tbh i took .dev only because the domain registrars in my country suck and overprice any decent tlds

it was cheaper to buy crypto and go for porkbuns domains

[karmic flame]

Passing this on to our top level tech team to start working on it. Will inform you when you can push that delete button.😆

I will indeed do it, they will tell me how

Reading between the lines.

Thats correct.

[harsh quartz]

Not only audio, but audio tech support

It’s techy for now

[solemn axle]

from the bright side, they are dirt cheap

[hearty spear]

.ru.com is a tld? wtf?

that's a double tld

[solemn axle]

Russian domain registars are wild

by the way, they won't make whois private

and will disconnect your domain twice in a year

[hearty spear]

that's hilariously sketch

[solemn axle]

so you would open their site to fix it

[hearty spear]

pretty much everything russian is wild

and not in the good way

[solemn axle]

I wouldn't say everything

i would rather say, everything that our dads and moms ever touched in the country

we have a word that means "older generation"

idk how to translate it

boomers doesn't work well in a context of russia, since we had no such thing as Babyboom in USA

[hearty spear]

shaddap, whipper snapper

[solemn axle]

tbh the population always were going down

[hearty spear]

<shuts up before he breaks the politics rule something fierce>

[solemn axle]

I don't think you can break the politics rule by speaking bad about Russia

[hearty spear]

still counts

[harsh quartz]

Boomers in the context of Russia are just Yankees

[solemn axle]

idk, when february event happen, people found it okay to send threats in dms

[harsh quartz]

They also had the delta 1-4s and the typhoons

[solemn axle]

primarily it is the reason i had created this alt account

[harsh quartz]

The only rainforest cafe in all of Canada is 1 mile away from the closest American rainforest cafe

Thankfully that means during the pandemic when the border was shut, Canada could still have the greatest rainforest themed American chain restaurant food that exists

[sour tinsel]

Canada wouldn't know what to do if it closed

there would be a nationwide panic/shutdown

Gaming laptop for a college is the worst mistake you can ever make

[sour tinsel]

true

[solemn axle]

You need a laptop that can hold its battery under moderate usage at least 6 hours

at trust me, even more if you are going to run matlab and decent (not vim) ides of this thing

[tender sand]

Yeah not specifically for gaming but it would be cool if it could handle some lower demand games too

[solemn axle]

Also laptops with dGPU tend to be much heavier
and your shoulders would thank you if won't bring 5kg box of hardware every day for 8 hours

well i filtered by price per gb and they seemed to dominate that so i was just gonna grab the first m.2 in the list

I hate windows installer creates 3 partitions when i'm trying to partition the drive

My laptop only has one ssd slot

idk about grub, but EFISTUB worked perfectly before

tbh the only reason i need windows on this machine is to run MS Office and MS Build

oh

Would i use Bitlocker

Also the fact you have not search bar to find your keyboard layout in Windows installer is criminal

ah yea I am basic support.

Started being more hands off at home when I got involved with my moms IT dep

[strange elk]

I mean if I needed PPE for a desk job I'd probably not want to help people either ngl

[solemn axle]

never get involved with IT dep on the parents' workplace is a thing i learnt the hard way

[pliant karma]

I mean my moms work yea it was a instant regret. They're soo fk disorganized

[solemn axle]

especially if they work in government regulated companies

it is a pain

[pliant karma]

I can rant about the migration haha

[pliant karma]

Her old work since she worked in the fresh/frozen foods industry got bought out by another company. Just the frozen division which meant 2/4 of the IT team was part of the buyout

[solemn axle]

they like work in 12 year old Open Office

that corrupted rtf files

[pliant karma]

and they underestimated the man power needed for the migration so they had me and my moms friend get involved.

First 2 days wasn't bad, but the rest of the days until day 8 when we wrapped was hell. I think i was functioning on 3 hours of sleep

each day mind you

[solemn axle]

sry, you lost me a bit, what is the migration in this context?

[pliant karma]

Merging the bought out frozen division from my mom’s old work to the company that bought it out

300 user, 2 sites for the whole transition

[solemn axle]

oh, thx, i got it

[pliant karma]

Last time I’ll be doing this haha

Put through hell and was not compensated for the lost sleep

[old yacht]

bruh

[rigid pawn]

😛

[solemn axle]

apparently BypassNRO only works if you do not connect a laptop to the internet

but at the same time i have reconsidered windows installation, and since the only thing i lose is League, i don't need it

[harsh quartz]

I believe technically you can do bypassnro and then if you do the network reset commands it will also work

[grim belfry]

<@&750150305383186585>

:P

[solemn axle]

I mean, yeah kinda, but at the same time if I ever would need windows, I can deploy it inside vm

And the bitlocker corruption isn't a pleasant thing to deal with

[harsh quartz]

I’m also thinking about switching over to Linux soon. I have an AMD card and would also only lose league, so I don’t really have a reason to not to

[hearty spear]

Bitlocker is a fucking curse

[harsh quartz]

Bitlocker is dumb and being enabled by default is so much worse than the alternative, of just not having it on by default

[grim belfry]

It should at least be more apparent that device encryption is turned on

I'm all for having it on by default, but make sure you tell people it's on lol

[alpine gale]

I disable it on all my / immediate family's machines, but this I can live with. At the very least, people need to know what "losing their recovery key" means for their data so they can choose whether or not making backups is important enough to them. Otherwise, you end up with people who genuinely have no idea that all their data is irrecoverably lost because they cleared fTPM when replacing their CPU, for example.

[old yacht]

I was trying to test two different sound cards using different pcie slots and this happened

ok now windows shut down but my pc is still running what in the fuck is going on

[left birch]

honest i don tknow. mayeb flip the psu swithc let it sit then turn it back on? never heard of that

[timber nimbus]

I don't have a psu switch 😭

[solemn axle]

Could it be ungrounded hardware?

[timber nimbus]

that's been a problem before but the sound card on the bottom works fine

I wonder if it's that pcie slot

[left birch]

ohhh maybe the GPU stopped posting.

that could be the problem

is th emonitor onand such just no display?

[timber nimbus]

after I shut down windows that's what happened

tbh I wonder if it's the pcie slot

[left birch]

it could be.

[timber nimbus]

I had a problem with this one once where I had to tear my gpu out of it because the release lever jammed completely

but it worked fine after that before so idk

there's also this tiny pcie port that does nothing for some reason

[timber nimbus]

oh

[left birch]

thats a great Graphic may i steal it?

[timber nimbus]

ok yeah it's the pcie slot

I switched the sound card to the bottom one and it doesn't do it now

[grim belfry]

Don't worry I stole it too

[timber nimbus]

I'll just stick with this one and upgrade the drivers recon3d is ass anyways

[left birch]

noie. Thanks! i know we have a lot fo like actual professionals haha dont wanna take stuff they worked hard to make, ro design etc.

[timber nimbus]
