Now to wait for it to finish in 17 mins (been in for 13 already)

[opal thunder]

Make some

Combine on stove, once hot let rest til warm:

Milk - 1/2 Cup
Water - 3/4 Cup
White Sugar - 1 Tbsp

After lukewarm, add one packet of active dry yeast.

Mix the following in a mixing bowl:

Flour - 3 Cups
White Sugar - 1 Tbsp

Combine milk mixture into dry mix, put in clean bowl and wait one hour for dough to rise in fridge covered by plastic wrap.

Mix together:

Butter - 2 Sticks
Parsely - 1 Tbsp
Garlic - 2 Tbsp
Onion Powder - 1/2 Tbsp

After dough has risen, roll it out and spread garlic sauce, and toss on shredded cheese. Cut up into slices, and put into buttered bread pan.

Let sit for 30 mins, then bake at 350F for 30 mins.

[half pewter]

I've done it. I've repaired another 1050 ti

[tepid jasper]

you make enough to share?

[brave plank]

no crypto was massively overvalued causing every card to be something that could generate income

also nvidia did nothing to ease the shortage as something rare is worth a higher price to people

[tepid jasper]

are those even worth repairing?

[half pewter]

For me yes as it's going in a build that I'll use for lan playing

[brave plank]

all the higher end cards were unobtainable, only journalists had them

which meant all the gamers had to aim their sights lower

pretty soon crap from a decade ago was worth a ton because the budget people got kicked into the last decade by the miners and whales (rich gamers)

[half pewter]

I was stuck with a very subpar build. Like my whole pc

It wasn't just a shortage on GPUs in my area

[tepid jasper]

i just gave up and got a laptop during the pandemic

[half pewter]

I managed to get a cheap pc bundle.

[brave plank]

there were shortage builds, baller cpu, motherboard, case, and full rgb pc's using integrated graphics waiting for the shortage to end

and just as quick as the prices shot up, they dropped to nothing

in like 2022 or 2023 etherium went to a new validation system that didn't use gpu's to mine

suddenly you had to pay 10k or some crap to become a "validater" and you didn't need much hardware

turns out eth was the only really profitable coin to mine, the others were barely profitable or something.

once eth died everyone dropped their other crypto in a mass crypto crash

leaving all these crypto miners with all the karma in the world with their expensive gpus being worth little

[wary canyon]

siiiiigh
so

If the 5090 really is gonna hit 600W

What the hell is the 6090 gonna hit? Like, ACTUAL genuine predictions, no joke answers plz

[heavy swan]

the 5090 is going to hit 600w???

is that confirmed or just a rumor?

[smoky badge]

[wary canyon]

It's the most trusted rumor from a leak last month. Some say it may be 500W but eh

Like seriously, WTF has to happen in order to get 5090 performance for only 300W at absolute max?!

[heavy swan]

yeah, most likely 550/600 watts

ti version will most likely be 700/800 watts

[tired glade]

That's kinda low

[heavy swan]

that is if they haven't discovered some way of getting more performance without upping the watts

[tired glade]

6090 maybe won't even exist

[heavy swan]

i mean, not really. 4090 does 450 and the "unlocked" does 600 which is a lot

[tired glade]

4090 ti doesn't exist

Also,4090 is hits 660+w with unlocked mode and bios

[heavy swan]

oh shit yeah my bad, meant 4090 with what you just said

[heavy swan]

and is that not a lot?

[tired glade]

3090 could hit 600w too

[tired glade]

Hope, that in reasonable specs for that class of GPU

[heavy swan]

how?

[tired glade]

Also, don't try argue it is bad because it is big number,when avg consumer PC cost less than 4090 price point

[tired glade]

Power mode

[heavy swan]

im not saying its bad, i'm saying its a lot

[heavy swan]

i've seen it spike up to 400-500 max, never seen 600

[tired glade]

If you getting that GPU, extra 10-20$ on early power bill is nothing

Also,there is arguments about giving as much performance as possible to consumer

[heavy swan]

yeah, im pretty sure thats their objective

i'm just saying its a lot

600 watts for a non oc gpu is a lot

[tired glade]

And I am telling - it doesn't matter

[heavy swan]

i never said it didn't, your words were "that's kinda low" and 600 watts for a gpu is definitely not low

[tired glade]

That GPU can do more than 1k in server version

[heavy swan]

and thats low to you?

[tired glade]

Yep

[heavy swan]

then whats 250 watts on the 4070 for you?

[tired glade]

It's 4070

[wary canyon]

Then 6000 series maybe won't even exist?

[tired glade]

Most likely 6080 will be a thing,but 6090 chips will be just sent to cheaper AI accelerators

[strange elk]

6900 exists

Bigger number better

[full fossil]

true

[wary canyon]

Thing is, certain tech markets exist where even the 5090 won't be enough for their true end goal, like VR & 8K

[full fossil]

i havent delved into the world of vr yet but im sure theres a lower sweetspot, like how i think 1440p is a good sweetspot for a 27inch monitor, surely theres something similar for vr

[strange elk]

Quest 3

[wary canyon]

AFAIK, 120hz is the minimum needed to completely remove risk of motion sickness (Well, for users who don't have heightened motion sickness anyway). That on top of maximizing PPI & FoV, a 5090 might still not be enough for the absolute ideal scenario

[strange elk]

Facebook aside I think hardware wise thats a pretty decent area

Having enough performance to brute force your frames is a bit harder but depends on the game

[full fossil]

sounds reasonable, but i wouldnt know until ive tried myself, and yeah aint no way a 5090 is running anywhere near 8k 120hz, they still got quite a few generations before we get to that level of preformance in gaming

[full fossil]

currently testing this, if its the same or better then the other config i tested im gonna keep it the same, and im also gonna try taping all the extra holes that arent near any intake or exhausts to maximise the preasure 😄

[muted relic]

Denuvo made a discord server. It went about as well as you would expect.

its a good thing i dont need to install the part

oh wait i can do that in the dark

sorry just a important item sent via my least favorite delivery service

when its not important fed ex is fine

Ai user????

[junior mason]

[tidal minnow]

People actually use ai for discord accounts now??

[graceful burrow]

They were asking very obviously ai formatted questions to "IT pros" to try and harvest data

[junior mason]

apparently nk is also using discord, according to the recent no text to speech vid
trying to infiltrate american software companies (there was an article a while back with a company it happend to)

alot of shit happens on discord, wild

[tired glade]

For about 4 years already

[tidal minnow]

How morally wrong would it be to trace the account back to a company and publicly flame them for it?

[fossil frost]

nobody would care.. either that someone did that, or about who it is

[hazy parrot]

If anything it's morally right

[tidal minnow]

Plezse say not wrong at all

[tired glade]

That's doxxing and you can get a pretty long prison sentence for that

does anyone know where to find the official standerds for the following things:

the slots on the side of the pc where the grapics card comes out (i forgot the name)

the psu standerd is madeby intel right?

[pallid falcon]

<@&750150305383186585>

[hazy parrot]

For motherboards it's just mounting pins. Are you looking for dimensions on these things

[fossil frost]

doesnt mean you arent an arsehole 🙂

[hazy parrot]

Oh great we have an iPad kid in here

I hope you get over that sooner or later

[fossil frost]

no, it doesnt, its not mutually exclusive

[velvet plover]

yes, im looking for the standerds pdf from whatever aithority there is

[pallid falcon]

Skibidi pfp lmao

[hazy parrot]

I don't think it's official. It's more like a mutually understood Mount dimension

Because wavering in any way would be a terrible selling product

[fossil frost]

my 7yo loves skibidi toilet... he goes mad at me for referring to it as "skiddy toilet" 😄

[hazy parrot]

No they're more self aware than that. They just do it cuz they like the attention

[velvet plover]

for sfx ik there is one, at least intel made one at some point, idk if its up to date. all these things have standereds, that i know, its trying to find them thats the hard part

[hazy parrot]

Technologies are a standard. A form factor that doesn't rely on that isn't

But I could be very wrong

The Source Filmmaker (SFM) is the movie-making tool built and used by us here at Valve to make movies inside the Source game engine. Because the SFM uses the same assets as the game, anything that exists in the game can be used in the movie, and vice versa.

crazy frog was derived from an experiment to design the most irritating possible sound to the average human...

[hazy parrot]

Indeed. And turned into viral "songs"

[fossil frost]

science came up with the most irritating sound they could find... and then someone toned it down apparently... and turned it into a song/frog

[hazy parrot]

At least you get it now

[fossil frost]

fair enough... still no interest in it other than annoying my 7yo by purposefully mispronouncing it

it very much seems like something designed for 7 year olds, rather than someone dangerously close to being 40

[hazy parrot]

This is just their generations version of crazy frog, or other newgrounds-esque music videos

[fossil frost]

just asked my 9yo "do you watch skiddy toilet videos too?" "no, they are stupid.."... so yeah, seems like 7-8yo's are the target audience 😄

[viscid elm]

for what?

[fossil frost]

this one works fine https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ublock-origin-lite/cimighlppcgcoapaliogpjjdehbnofhn

i only use chrome because of lazyness, i have a pixel, the built in password manager and auth system all integrates together.. and im too lazy to tie together a bunch of 3rd party solutions

[pallid falcon]

they stopped working on edge?

[prime solstice]

Ok so I should stop using regular uBlock origin

[prime solstice]

Regular uBlock did

[fossil frost]

regular UBO will stop working too, somewhere around march i think... then ubo lite will be the only one that is compliant in those 3

[pallid falcon]

mines still working?

[prime solstice]

Mine doesn’t for some reason

I keep getting ads

[fossil frost]

also, that appears to be chrome, not edge

[fossil frost]

fair enough, the address bar looked very very chrome-y

[prime solstice]

I knew it was edge since I used edge since I first started using windows 10

trying to update to 24H2

b/c otherwiuse my laptop keeps bluescreening

im already on 24H2

but trying to reinstall it

[prime solstice]

As Reddit says do a clean install of windows

[jagged linden]

is that the only solution?

[prime solstice]

Idk

[jagged linden]

is it possible to go back to a previous version of windows?

[fossil frost]

not really*

*its possible if you JUST updated, and you have the "roll back to previous version" option and you didnt clear out your temp files yet, and the wind is blowing in the right direction, and you know the special witch that makes everything go smoothly

or.. you just reinstall with an iso from an older version

[jagged linden]

the issue is i was not able to get all of the asus drivers to work properly when i normally installed windows the last time

[fleet holly]

does anybody know what i do? i want to install windows 11 on my new pc but i dont have a existing pc to download it from, i have a usb

[viscid elm]

if you have no computers you can use to install programs on then you cant

[fleet holly]

dam

is it possible to buy a usb that has the media creation tool on already?

[pallid falcon]

yes

[fleet holly]

do you know where from?

[fossil frost]

yes, but you buy it with a licence, and they cost £119 or whatever that is in your currency

[pallid falcon]

my professor did it from his nextdoor professor

[fossil frost]

you just need to use literally any other computer with windows on it,

[fleet holly]

i don’t have any other system sadly

[pallid falcon]

I also seen them at my local Walmart before

[fossil frost]

no friends and/or family that can do it?

and yeah, you can ask someone at a local computer shop to do it for you

[pallid falcon]

Found one online you can buy

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Microsoft-Windows-11-Pro-64-BIT-USB/5671725565

[fleet holly]

100 🤯

[fossil frost]

yeah, because you are buying the licence with the drive

[fleet holly]

i just spent loads on my pc 😭 now i gotta spend even more

[fossil frost]

windows isnt free

[pallid falcon]

I paid like 120 or sum for my copy of windows

[fossil frost]

if you already have windows 10, you can get a free upgrade

[novel latch]

+1

[fleet holly]

wym

[novel latch]

or like go find a friend or borrow like a school computer or something

is there really no computer at all you have access to?

[fleet holly]

nope

[novel latch]

no mac ? maybe an android phone ?

[fleet holly]

i have android phone yeah

[fossil frost]

exactly what i wrote.. if you already have a copy of windows 10 on another computer that you used to own.. you just install win11 and sign in with the same MS account, and MS upgrade your licence for free

[novel latch]

i wonder if you could theoretically get really creative but i have not tried

[fossil frost]

if you have a usb-otg cable, you can plug a usb drive into your phones usb c port, and extract the iso to the usb drive

takes AGES though

even on a good phone

[novel latch]

do you need a usb-otg cable ?

cant you just get like a usb-c to a ? i know one came in the box with my pixel

[fossil frost]

yes, because you cant plug a usb-a device into a usb-c port

[fossil frost]

thats an otg cable 🙂

[novel latch]

oh

in my defence i dont tend to look at adapters as cables

[fossil frost]

technically, its possible to install win11 directly from your android phone

[novel latch]

but i think you can get rufus and install some linux iso like ubuntu onto ur computer and then you can probably install windows from there if you want to

well not "rufus" like the official one but some unofficial one

this is super jank though you really should consider making a friend (which is easier said than done i know)

[pallid falcon]

one of my local computer shops installs windows for people as long as there isn't any issues where theyd need to go online and find a storage driver or whatever

if they have do they do charge

[fossil frost]

yeah, you can risk bricking your phone if you dont know what you are doing

[novel latch]

well if they have a usb flash drive surely it wouldnt be too hard to get the adapter

better that than using the phone as a flash drive

[tribal sun]

if there are drivers

I havnt seen any support for 8 gen 1 and above yet

[novel latch]

anyone else have an AMD gaming laptop and see the claimed performance improvements w/ 24h2?

[fossil frost]

noope, a lot of android phones let you attach your phone as a straight up usb-drive, with direct access to the user storage

[novel latch]

insane

[fossil frost]

so you could just extract the iso, to user storage, and without any drivers, use your phone as a usb-drive

[tribal sun]

I dont mean that

[tribal sun]

ohh ok

[novel latch]

just plain extracting the iso doesnt make it bootable tho

[tribal sun]

no nvm thats not what I mean

[fossil frost]

if you are booting from a uefi bios, yes, it does

[tribal sun]

im talking with in windows

[novel latch]

i have never been able to get that to work with a windows iso

[tribal sun]

or running windows at all but imma check rq

[fossil frost]

you need to activate the partition as bootable if you are booting from old-style bioses or "compatability" booting mode

but you really should be booting from UEFI

[novel latch]

i only boot from UEFI 🫡

[fossil frost]

literally just extract the root of the ISO to the root of the usb drive

[fleet holly]

can i use a xbox or a ps5 to install it 😂?????

[fossil frost]

knock on your next door neighbours door and ask them can you use their computer for 30 seconds, and explain why

[novel latch]

im going to try that rn

oh i remember now

install.wim is too big as a single file to be on a fat32 formatted drive

[fossil frost]

you can format your usb drive to ntfs and its fine

exfat too on almost all uefi bios

[tribal sun]

I thought windows installer wont install on the same drive

[fossil frost]

nobody said anything about installing it to the same drive

[novel latch]

why do i not use exfat

[tribal sun]

Like on the phone without a usb drive

[novel latch]

exfat is supported on windows right

[fossil frost]

nobody is installing it to the phone

[fossil frost]

its MS's filesystem, so yes

[tribal sun]

nvm I think I miss read

[novel latch]

i think macos does too right

[fossil frost]

i was on about using the phone's usb storage as a way of installing windows to the pc... making the phone a flash drive to install

[fossil frost]

everything does

[novel latch]

lmao wtf

[tribal sun]

ohh ok

[novel latch]

holy crap ive just been stupid this entire time hahahaha

thank you this is definitely going to save me time in the future

[fossil frost]

its 17 years old...supported on windows ce6, xp sp2, linux kernel since 5.4, BSD via FUSE, android 13 and above, and ios 13.1 and above

[fleet holly]

i found my brothers old pc it’s dusty asf and it only has one 4gb ram in it

[clever cargo]

exfat is considered less reliable than ntfs/hfs/ext4 so it's only recommended if interoperability is a must

[novel latch]

i genuinely dunno how it just never occurred to me

[meager umbra]

Hi

[fossil frost]

its just as reliable, or at least as reliable as fat32

[fleet holly]

i’m not getting any signal whatsoever from the hdmi

[novel latch]

yeh fat32 has gotta be ancient

[novel latch]

do you know if its on?

[fossil frost]

1996

[fleet holly]

yeah it’s on

[novel latch]

does it have an external gpu

[clever cargo]

true, that's a pretty low bar tho

[fleet holly]

yeah

[novel latch]

have u tried both the hdmi on the gpu and the mobo?

[fleet holly]

yup

[fossil frost]

fat32 is fine, it exists on practically every usb drive that anyone has ever had, and is fine... professionals use it on sd cards when recording movies... its fine

[novel latch]

also like my windows installer drive is not high priority

all that matters is its easy to format on one device and plug into another

[novel latch]

re-seat the ram ? lolol

[fleet holly]

does it matter if only 1 ram stick is in

[fossil frost]

noope, 1 stick is fine.

[novel latch]

ya

[fleet holly]

even if it’s 4gb😂

[novel latch]

assuming its not running windows 11 or something its probably fine

[fossil frost]

it will run like utter turd with 1 4gb stick, unless its running win7 or earlier

but, it will run

[fleet holly]

it is

[fossil frost]

it will run like dogshit... but it will run

"run" might be a stretch... it will walk

[novel latch]

wouldnt you have had to like put effort into getting it to run windows 11

who did this

[fleet holly]

nah cos i put my old ssd in it

[novel latch]

oooooh ok ok

[fossil frost]

anyway... F1 qualifying time... cya later

I just bought 12 gaming pcs, each are able to play modern AAA games in 1080p; how much do you think all 12 cost me

liking the playlist would save it, but wont be liked until you.....like each one individually

is this one good

[jaunty compass]

i wouldn't buy it because 13th gen has a tendency to self destruct

so does 14th

[turbid flower]

At least 2$

At least 1$ but might be stretching the possibilities there

[alpine gale]

How much could 12 gaming PC's cost, Michael? Like, $10?

[civic cairn]

What currency? USD? CAD? Euro?

[pallid falcon]

It cost a relationship?

[civic cairn]

Depending on the relationship some people might see that as a net positive.

[jaunty compass]

USD

[jaunty compass]

I've been single so no

[civic cairn]

Just the towers or do you have screens and perhiperals included in the pricing?

[jaunty compass]

no peripherals

just the systems

[civic cairn]

Low end? I'd guess about 6k (~500$ per system) at the low end depending on what you did. If you are picking stuff up that's a couple of generations back (AM4 / 10/11th generation intel) it could be pretty cheap. Without knowing anything about the specifications though it's just throwing a number in the air.

[jaunty compass]

i'll say this, they're ryzen and rdna2 based

[civic cairn]

New parts or are you picking stuff up on the used market?

[jaunty compass]

it's used but they're already assembled

no os though

[civic cairn]

That's tough to guess, used could be all over the place. RDNA2 and AM4 could still land in the 500-600$ range depending on exactly what's in place for memory/storage. Problem is there's still a huge range there. A used Ryzen 3200 is going to be a lot cheaper than a 5800x so there's a wide range that you could be looking at there.

I'll stick with around the 6k mark at the low end as a guess.

[manic torrent]

$72.65

[civic cairn]

That include shipping?

[jaunty compass]

The CPU has 6 cores and 12 threads

They're all the same config

[civic cairn]

So a Ryzen 5 of some flavour - problem there is it's still a huge range, could be a R5 1600, could be something more recent.

[jaunty compass]

I ran these on one of them

[hazy parrot]

dudes never heard of a print button

hi Sam

[jaunty compass]

The keyboard I was using didn't have a print screen button

[jaunty compass]

That's not my name that's a letter from AMD

One of their PR reps is named Sam

[hazy parrot]

win + shift + s but I dont expect people to know that one

[hazy parrot]

oh hell yea

[jaunty compass]

Do you want me to give you the answer?

[prime solstice]

I know sudo rm -rf on the top of my head but I don’t know much windows commands

[hazy parrot]

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-bin

I type that in my sleep

[civic cairn]

I mean there's no way to know for sure, that's a huge range on the hardware so no way to know what hardware you have in the box.

So let's see the details.

[jaunty compass]

Each system has 16 gigs of ram, and uses a zen 2 based Apu with an rdna 2 based GPU

[civic cairn]

I mean that's not telling us much more - just toss in the spec and let us know what you paid.

[jaunty compass]

$250 for all 12

[civic cairn]

Picked up at a auction or something?

[jaunty compass]

no, it's a bit more complicated than I let on originally

[civic cairn]

At that price I would expect that it's something more than just walking up to the local best buy.

[jaunty compass]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176319814255?
it's one of these, this server holds 12 of what are basically slightly cut down playstation 5s meant for mining, but I was able to get them running games in linux with modded drivers

the performance equivalent of a ryzen 5 2600 and rx 6600

[civic cairn]

Ahhh.... that makes a bit more sense.

[jaunty compass]

the seller accepts offers of $250 or above automatically lol

after i got one gaming i bought an entire rack because of how nuts the performance per computer is

it's like $22 per system

[civic cairn]

How's the sound on them?

Got to be a loud boi.

[jaunty compass]

the server is very loud but the one i've been tinkering with is very quiet because i mounted a tower cooler to it

someone modelled an am4 cooler adapter to use on them; I basically got a ton of people to work on getting these things working as mini pcs

[hazy parrot]

its not quiet you just went deaf

[jaunty compass]

I have a gte gammax cooler on the one i'm tinkering with in my desk

not the stock cooler

[civic cairn]

While interesting would be something that most people probably wouldn't want sitting in their house. Might be interesitng to look at running as a virtulization host though, if it ran Proxmox you could have a entire cluster running in one chassis.

[civic cairn]

Assuming there's a M2 socket on there for a SSD?

[jaunty compass]

yes

it also has front IO

[civic cairn]

Pins on the board itself? Would make sense, either you need to tie it into someting in the chassis to control the power state, or you would want them for bench testing the things.

[jaunty compass]

no it has a power button

and usb ports and a displayport

it like
actually has io

you can see them here

each one has 4 usb ports, a DP, an ethernet jack, and a power and reset button

they're like
actually pcs

[civic cairn]

Right that's more the back of the chassis, but if you are running the cards outside of the chassis front and back doesn't matter as much.

[jaunty compass]

i call it front io because the 'front' is where it gets power

which is way more a back of the board thing

[civic cairn]

Yep, it's flipped because it's rack mounted, front is just for air intake to keep the things cool under load. In most applications you would probably never touch the hardware physically once it's in the rack and running - everything would be removely managed.

[jaunty compass]

But yeah each of these things is like a gaming PC and for the price the value is unbeatable

$22 per system with a ryzen 5 2600 equivalent and rx 6600 is stupidly good

[civic cairn]

But you still have to either live with the noise in the enclosure that it comes with, or figgure in the cost of jerry rigging up a chassis, cooling, and power delivery for it to use them outside of the chassis.

It's a neat box to look at, but it was really designed for a specific purpose.

[jaunty compass]

I actually am accounting for all of those things, i'm not actually going to use them in the rack i'm going to turn them each into mini PCs in printed cases with a flex atx power supply and custom cooler

(or rather, custom cooler adapter, and standard cooler)

i'll probably sell them for around $200 each as steam machines tbh

maybe $150

probably lower rather than higher

the cost of making them is very low

[civic cairn]

Sure, but then they are not 22$ per, it's 22$ plus a PSU, Cooler, and whatever it costs you to print the chassis. Then you probably want to turn a profit on them so some markup for your time and effort.

Don't get me wrong - they are cool devices.

But I'd have to see what the final cost was once you get a PSU in there and all the bits in place to make it a workable device.

[jaunty compass]

i can use them at $22 per if i wanted to have say
a gaming cafe

it would be great for that

because the rack includes everything

[civic cairn]

Sure, park it in the back, run cables out to the stations where you are parking the devices. That could work.

[jaunty compass]

besides i'm not really doing this project to make money i'm doing it because i want to turn computers that would otherwise be mining ewaste into something useful

[civic cairn]

Nothing wrong with that.

[jaunty compass]

i'll probably end up selling the mini pcs at cost, or just a very small profit

[civic cairn]

For 250$ it's something that might be interesting to just have to play with.

If you want to play with something interesting - see if you can get Proxmox booted on them, then you could potentailly setup VM's on there running whatever you want and get them all running in a cluster together.

[manic torrent]

Oh these would be awesome for dadlan

We play mostly old games and use donated laptops

But this would allow us to have moonlight/sunshine setups

[civic cairn]

Ohh, yea that could be fun to play with.

Wonder what driver support for those in Windows looks like.

[manic torrent]

Providing free modern gaming systems, because we are currently limited by donated ex corporate laptops

Limiting to Linux gaming is hardly a showstopper.

[civic cairn]

Depends on what you wanted to play, but it's not as bad now as it was a couple of years back.

[jaunty compass]

nonexistent

[civic cairn]

Will it boot?

[jaunty compass]

yes but there are no gpu drivers

and the video encoder doesn't really work right now (in any OS)

you can use stuff like steam in home streaming but it's going to be cpu encode

[jaunty compass]

i'd just get really long DP and usb extentions

[manic torrent]

What we want to play is whatever... It's more about getting dads together, so there's lots of flexibility. A big favourite is UT2k4 at the moment, but we'd have more options with a more modern system

[manic torrent]

You could use a different card to do the encoding

[jaunty compass]

.........I don't think you understand what these are

[manic torrent]

.... I don't think you understand that I understand full well

[jaunty compass]

I don't think you do

[manic torrent]

I'm not saying another card in those systems

[jaunty compass]

so you're going to set up a second pc to stream to a third pc

[civic cairn]

Id be looking at them more for running things in a virutal workload as opposed to interacting with them driectly. The limiting thing there is that i'm guessing they only have a single 1gb network connecton so that limits what I could push through them.

[jaunty compass]

for all 12 of them

[jaunty compass]

technically you could put an m.2 to 10gbe card on them

[manic torrent]

No, a shared system that encodes for multiple systems

[jaunty compass]

if you want to pick one of the servers up go ahead they're $250 with free shipping but like
your setup is going to be a fucking nightmare lmao

[manic torrent]

Yes, setting up nightmares is literally my job

Have you heard of kubernetes?

[civic cairn]

Yes. Unfortunately.

Thankfully I haven't been tapped to work on that at work. Yet.

[jaunty compass]

to get these setup you have to install linux in basic graphics mode, install all of the updates, install modded gpu drivers, modify the grub boot options to remove nomodeset and put amdgpu.sg_display=0 in its place, reboot, update grub options, then but make sure you installed steam before installing the gpu drivers because if you installed steam after the drivers it doesn't work

[manic torrent]

I built it at my work. It's great, but it's basically a curse. You're more or less building your own custom cloud environment

[jaunty compass]

also they only work on fedora or arch right now

I actually uploaded a setup guide on reddit lol

[manic torrent]

Lol why doesn't steam install after? I assume it does a check on the driver to install and gets sad

[civic cairn]

Yep, doing something similar at my workplace, different stack, but similar idea.

[jaunty compass]

steam is forcibly bundled with its own mesa drivers that overwrite the modded ones

[manic torrent]

Ah yep

[jaunty compass]

you have to force install the modded mesa drivers ignoring dependencies to make it not uninstall steam

and you can't install steam after
