Yes, its some weird hybrid with water channels integrated into the heatsink

[gaunt spade]

only other gpu i know like that is the rog matrix old one

2080 ti

[queen trout]

i think it looks over done

theres too much stuff going on

[gaunt spade]

id rather that then nothing

[hallow jasper]

that was integrated into one

The Kudan was sold with a separate rad

[balmy tapir]

this is true

[hallow jasper]

it should have, that was a $3000 2080Ti

[gaunt spade]

ive never seen that anywhere

[queen trout]

same

Idk maybe I do need to remove my windows drive to make this work right

[gritty panther]

[queen trout]

You like 50 with a anime girl pfp

[tidal geyser]

no

[tidal geyser]

did you install the cachyos ISO again and used ventoy?

[gritty panther]

you're a kid and I can tell

[queen trout]

Yup

[mint umbra]

I tried with new iso download I guess I should try with ventoy

[gritty panther]

id be mad too with all the raging hormones possibly with no money and no bitches

[mint umbra]

I turned off fast boot

[gaunt spade]

how old are you unc

[queen trout]

Nah i get lots of women

I get groomed by women alot

[sleek ibex]

[queen trout]

Moneys the issue

[gaunt spade]

what are my eyes reading rn

[sleek ibex]

That ain't the flex you think it is

[rose stream]

[queen trout]

Just a thumb dude

[queen trout]

I mean theyre hot

What am I reading

[queen trout]

[mint umbra]

Oh it worked this time 🙂

[rose stream]

You don't want to know.

I might be tempted to be less chronically online because of this

[rose stream]

It's missing something.

[queen trout]

You gotta get back on facebook

[verbal prawn]

Bitch I'm probably around the same age as you

[queen trout]

Nah

Ion think so

[mint umbra]

So what are some things I should install on Linux first

[verbal prawn]

Windows

[tidal geyser]

gaming package in cachy hello

[gaunt spade]

what is it

[tidal geyser]

after install it will auto open cachy hello then you need to go to apps and tweeks install gaming package loginto steam and you're able to have a great time

[mint umbra]

This one

[sleek ibex]

I'm willing to revert back after reading the chat above

[rose stream]

The entire heatsink also getting a trim treatment or just being full heat-treated copper that's unpainted.

And then the E's on the fans need to have a blue and gold-leaf treatment as well.

[queen trout]

This is ai no

[tidal geyser]

xd its already isntalled

[gaunt spade]

what about this

[queen trout]

Looks like ass

[tidal geyser]

open cachy hello and install the gaming package but in there you can install discord¨

[gaunt spade]

haters be hatin

[mint umbra]

Yeah I saw that

[queen trout]

Lovers be lovin

[rose stream]

Okay, now it just looks kinda cursed. Like the concept makes sense, but on top of the fact you're using a generative AI for this (with all the visual flaws that are hard to ignore), you only had to change one thing instead of everything.

[mint umbra]

When I tried to install streamio from catchy hello I get error

Guess I'll just go to website

[tidal geyser]

use OBS

oh no wait that

[mint umbra]

Steamio like the movie watching app

[tidal geyser]

dam its a flatpak

install bazzar and install it from there

[rose stream]

Speaking of flatpaks, turns out my Prism install on the homelab no longer worked right. Was forced to uninstall it and use the flatpak version instead, which worked properly afterwards.

Guess they never could see doing anything about the Solus package in the repo then.

Not that I'm disappointed though. At least THAT is no longer a hassle to deal with anymore.

[mint umbra]

ok have discord installed

[frigid blade]

does this case look 7 inches deep

at first i thought maybe not but after a second look that fan barely fits

[queen trout]

I dont understand the question

[frigid blade]

if thats a 140mm fan thats like 5.5 inches that case might actually be 7 inches deep

[queen trout]

Measure it

[frigid blade]

cant, its an order

[queen trout]

Thats the width not the depth

[buoyant bridge]

bruh

Lowe's is literally giving out free Carhartt shit rn

[queen trout]

What case is it

[frigid blade]

i bought a too good to be true pc on fbmp for $500 and at first the FedEx size and weight looked odd but now that i look at it its kinda accurate

[frigid blade]

no clue

[mint umbra]

I need to add windows to the grub now pretty sure

[queen trout]

Guess youll have to find out

[ivory mountain]

unc

[hallow jasper]

No

[mint umbra]

I think trying to install linux deleted my windows

even tho I selected the other drive

cuz I cant find it anywhere

[daring crystal]

Green name and he deleted windows?

[empty quartz]

Its damocles

Even a burnt out light bulb is still brighter than him

[topaz copper]

You can always install Linux first
Then install windows

Limine and Grub I think both will pick it up

Not sure if Limine will automatically buy it’s not hard to add it

[versed swan]

It looks like he removed or overwrote his windows partition somehow...

[mellow sonnet]

black hole

[mint umbra]

well think my windows and gone now and have to reinstall windows lol

cuz I have catchy os running fine

[empty quartz]

Still brighter than him

[topaz copper]

This isn’t that uncommon for a first timer to do

[empty quartz]

Dont give damocles credit

[topaz copper]

Just reinstall windows where you want it and should be fine

[mint umbra]

I guess windows was on my 2nd ssd and didnt realize it

[empty quartz]

He’s known for being an idiot here

[topaz copper]

I mean, not for nothing. You should probably check these things moving forward.

Or read the screen

[mint umbra]

I swear I thought I checked witch drive it was on during install

oh well whats done is done

[verbal prawn]

I would never install windows after Arch and managed to nuke my bootloader

I wouldn't ever do that

[topaz copper]

Pretty easy to do

Realistically, if you’re knew any of the stuff is easy to do

[topaz copper]

Their wiki is pretty well written. They probably have instructions for your best process moving forward.

[ivory mountain]

or be a real man and delete windows and go full linux

[ivory mountain]

hey its toasty bros server guy

[mellow sonnet]

it is the toasty guy

who else would it be

X · Feb 4, 2026, 5:47 AM

[ivory mountain]

crazy bc people dont believe me when i say 99% of pastes perform within margin of error

[hallow jasper]

It’s well known, but there are enthusiasts at every level

[thin bloom]

Since I'm going with a retro style look for my new pc. I should use this cooler. This is a joke I be mainly going with a noctua fan cooler

[rose stream]

Don't bother telling anyone not to, dude. You're just as liable for saying and doing things that don't make sense to anyone either and coming across as a hard ass about it too.

[tidal geyser]

i really do wonder how well that works

i have been interested a while

[thin bloom]

I be sitting on top of a under volt ryzen 9 9900x3d in a Silverstone FLP02 with noctua fans and maybe a under volt rx 9070 xt

[rose stream]

It's not even being a pot calling the kettle black, but being a white painted kettle that got in a fight with the vacuum cleaner, a table saw, and a hot glue gun attempting to call said other kettle black.

[thin bloom]

The problem there be no air flowing towards it. The only things it be keeping it cool is the 140 rear fan, 1x120 and 2x140 fans on top

[rose stream]

Hmmm... I mean, that would be interesting for a build though, if you were serious.

[thin bloom]

Yes it be but the air flow and the internal case temp be the problem

Since I like to have the case fans off at idle at a low temp

[rose stream]

If only it were like a box with a set airflow pattern going on direction and you could do one or two large fans and that would suffice...

[gritty panther]

good job MX6 let's go

[rose stream]

I mean, Xbox SX already does that (and Corsair emulated that design once), but hey, what's actually stopping anyone from doing the same with a passive cooler being in the build anyway?

Still would be interesting.

[thin bloom]

I would be interesting to see it in my current pc

[plucky lodge]

imagine u had access to AI u alone since 2012, what would u hv achieved by now?

[tired bear]

in 2012 we had ML yes

same way we have it now

[thin bloom]

The cooler my pc is currently using I was planning to buy the black fan version for my new build but I regret getting that cooler because it's a bitch to get the cpu power lines connected to the board and the instructions are shit

[plucky lodge]

what are u smoking,

[tired bear]

something good
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/HintonDengYuEtAl-SPM2012.pdf

[thin bloom]

Well this is the plan. Plan A get the one with fans or plan B get the really hot fan less cooler

[tired bear]

retro woud be this

[thin bloom]

I don't know why but I'm tempted to buy the fan less cooler for my current pc

[thin bloom]

Then I need to get an adapter so it could mount to a am5 socket

[steel umbra]

ooooooo 🍹

[thin bloom]

I have never seen a cooler like that before

[hallow jasper]

pretty common back in the day. Zalman was very popular

[steel umbra]

is this one highly twisted heatpipe or two

[tired bear]

two

[steel umbra]

:(

[hallow jasper]

the OG

[tired bear]

maybe even 3

[steel umbra]

what 😱😱😱

[tired bear]

copper definitly sparkles "retro"

[hallow jasper]

oh for sure

[thin bloom]

I only seen these fans since they are the only ones I have ever seen irl

[tired bear]

this is something special

[thin bloom]

Besides that. I seen an image of that before in a pc on Facebook I think?

[hallow jasper]

If anyone remembers the king of coolers back in the Core2Quad days was the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. They made an all copper version and it was badass.

[thin bloom]

I do wonder how good these coolers were back in the day. I do wonder if there is factory past under the coolers

[tired bear]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-adventure-time-ong-shiny-so-cute-gif-26888221

[hallow jasper]

i don't even know how this is meant to work lol

[tired bear]

passive

[thin bloom]

For how old that cooler is there is probably a lot out there that turned green

[hallow jasper]

oh, well that makes more sense then!

[hallow jasper]

yeah, look at the date on the reviews

[steel umbra]

@tired bear ye it’s 3

[thin bloom]

I'm going to ask Google ai what one it thinks is better for a retro pc. I'm curious what it will say

[steel umbra]

couldn’t see that one

[thin bloom]

Damn I'm a few years older than that cooler

[ionic anvil]

https://bee.novalabs.app/ dont question it

[valid garden]

what's up guys

[thin bloom]

I find it funny that Google ai thinking with 3 pro crashed at the end😆

[thin bloom]

Hi

I find it funny that the board and hwinfo can't determine the case fan rpm do with how slow they are moving

[ivory mountain]

the fans might not have 0 RPM so they PWM sensor shows it not spinning but the fans are just spinning at like 100

at least thats my thought idfk

[steel umbra]

^ donot trust virus he is very bad virus virus bad.

[ivory mountain]

W opsec

[steel umbra]

noooooo

pulls a 10 ton anti battleship cannon and aims at vairus

[mint umbra]

welp now reinstall windows lmao

somehow I managed to download linux on both of my drives which is how my windows got deleted

[steel umbra]

it’s chatgpt’s fault

i’m heart broken, c++ is so hard for me and i need it or alternative language to make a proper physics engine but i suck at programming so haard

and i don’t want to pay someone to do it for me

how tf do i make procedural generation in ue5 without that voxel plugin and also adds physics and physics combustion to it reeee

my producedural gen works but it’s awfull unoptimized

i’m not willing to use AI for programming yuck

[sharp ivy]

Beautiful

I wanna replace the cooler on my core 2 gaming pc

[frigid blade]

AI

[steel umbra]

AI is really bad with UE blueprints

and not the solution

i’m making a physics engine, AI won’t do that lol

[frigid blade]

Why not?

I don’t think you’ve ever actually messed with the better tools

[left depot]

I am converting a laptop into a nas, it has an ssd for OS and I will connect 2 usb harddrive enclosures in raid 1, mostly going to use it for cloud storage, web hosting, pihole etc. what linux distro would yall recommend?

[steel umbra]

show me a demo where AI successfully programmed working interactive physics

[rose stream]

Hmmm procederal.

[frigid blade]

Something like this? https://youtu.be/mzwJvSijN-c

9 months ago btw

[steel umbra]

how many objects the code can handle

also javascript won’t work for me

[frigid blade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steel umbra]

it’s really hard to optimize on a large scale plus i suck at it the most (i’m only ok with ue5 blueprints)

[steel umbra]

can it handle more than few thousand objects?

i’m makinga procedurally generated voxel world with physics, like when you remove a support block the other collapse, also with a counting system so for example when you have a block that hold on horizontal scale more than like 50 blocks for wood for example it’ll unanchor

each block would have it’s own grid so i can implement atleast some oxygen physics, like if the square area runs out of oxygen you’ll start to suffocate

i do this so air can be stored during motion without involving actual physics for the air

[mint umbra]

Seems with the dual boot setup it's boots alot slower than when I just had windows

[steel umbra]

it still requires a ton of optimizations

yk youtube will tell you to start small, but this is all i want to program as a baseline for now

i’m aware that i may fail because what i’m trying to do requires really good programming skills, so far i’ve only watched few tens of tutorials when i ran into struggles which i do 99% of the time

[steel umbra]

similar to teardown but well more like minecraft

the issue is implementing how or when the blocks check if they’re supported or not, it’s resource expensive af

[grizzled nova]

id say truenas but you would need 2 non-storage seperate drives (boot and apps)
unraid runs purely off of a usb drive
proxmox is a hypervisor
plain cli debian could work well if you wanted to do everything yourself

[fickle ivy]

Can meta make a functional piece of software for oncd

[dusty egret]

no

[fickle ivy]

Instead of trying to display 50+ photos when not even a quarter of that is on the screen causing insane lagging and crashing

Istg I know nothing about coding and I'm sure I could fix that in a week with YouTube tutorials

[grizzled frost]

depends

[fickle ivy]

This stupid app has to have crashed always like 10 times now oh my god

Trillion dollar megacorp btw

[grizzled frost]

depends on if you need 32gb of ram or not

[fickle ivy]

Oh would you look at that, yet another crash

I had to go into my quest and manually delete all the photos i already downloaded so that they wouldn't display and crash the app while trying to download the others

[grizzled frost]

then you need 32

[valid garden]

really good google gemini devs am I right?

[valid garden]

or of course is 32 is too expensive, in FLEX mode (intel only) you can do 24GB

preferablly 2 sticks in slots 2 and 4, and the remaining stick in slot 1

I dont know if AMD has an equivilent

[grizzled frost]

flex mode isn't intel only

well the name is, the technology behind it isn't

for AMD it has the uninteresting name of "asymmetric dual-channel"

[wicked parcel]

do any headphones that have wifi spotify integration exist? like, without needing a connection to a device?

[grizzled frost]

you would need a pair of headphones with a streaming device built in

[wicked parcel]

ah

[valid garden]

ahh

gotchya

yeah 24GB is solid if you need more than 16 but 32 is super expensive, mainly on DDR4, it means you can down the line get one more 8GB stick and you now have 32GB

[grizzled frost]

also the listed options were 16gb ddr5 or 32gb ddr4, since 16gb ddr4 isn't sufficient for them, they'd need more than 16, that being 32 given their options

[valid garden]

ah

[mint umbra]

Well I have dual boot now

[obtuse yew]

I want to do an itx build at some point so bad

Unfortunately I already own 3 full size ATX cases that I'm not using and my CPU would probably suffocate

[regal veldt]

Hey everyone! 👋

Just pulled the trigger on my first real gaming PC build

Would love your honest thoughts:

• Rate it out of 10 (performance, value, future-proofing)?
• Did I make good choices or could I have done better for ~$2866USD (~2226 CHF)?
• Any build/mounting tips or optimizations you’d recommend?

Here’s the final config:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Motherboard: MSI B650 Gaming Plus WiFi
RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
GPU: XFX Quicksilver Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming Edition 16GB
Case: NZXT H9 Flow RGB+ (with 7 RGB fans included)
Cooling: Corsair iCUE LINK TITAN 360 RX LCD
PSU: MSI MAG A850GL PCIe5 850W Gold

Main use: 1440p ultra gaming
E business multitasking.

Thanks in advance for the feedback

[obtuse yew]

Wait I'm confused are you dealing with both the proprietary Nzxt fans AND icue??

[frigid blade]

AIO

[valid garden]

and I have a tri boot!

[regal veldt]

Yes there’s some included fans in the NZXTs PC case.
And Corsair Icue is the water cooling system.
So yes both

[valid garden]

unfortunetly most of your shit might be being spent on the RAM because of prices

unless its like already made from before the crisis

[regal veldt]

Unfortunately, yes, the prices are awful, and I regret not buying it before, but that's how it is.

[valid garden]

my PC is solid, obviously not for 2025 use but you know, for my avg tasks if you wanna hear the speds

[regal veldt]

Sure

[valid garden]

CPU: Intel Core i5 7400 @ 3.0GHz
Motherboard: MSI Bazooka B250M
RAM: x2 Corsair Vengence 8GB sticks, x1 aDATA Stick - 2133MHz. Intel FLEX Mode - Total 24GB DDR4
SSD: Intel 480GB Pro SSD
HDD: 1TB WD Blue HDD
GPU: 4GB MSI AMD Radeon RX 580 ARMOR OC
Case: some stock prebuilt CyberPowerPC shit
Cooling: stock intel cooler (Not terrible for kaby lake)
PSU: Corsair 550W something
OS: Windows 7 / Windows 11 / Debian 13 Tri Booot

Obviously NOT the newest, but it works exactly how I need it

the PC was 700$ brand new in 2017 and the only upgrades I made were for the RAM and storage

[narrow wadi]

Are there any good alternatives for wifi adapters apart from TPlink?

USB* ones

[grizzled frost]

usb wifi adapters in general suck

[regal veldt]

Nice I haven't received mine yet, so I haven't tested it, but I will be sure to make the comparison for informational purposes.
Thank you 🙏🏻

[valid garden]

yw

[regal veldt]

But I can’t wait lol 🤣

[valid garden]

from experience, they are okay, but a PCIe Wi-Fi card, even a x1 one will do you much better since it has real protruding antennas

[quasi moat]

The wfi 7 usb I have works fine

[azure topaz]

A CONFIGURATION

oops caps

[valid garden]

what about it

[azure topaz]

its a system

[valid garden]

nah really now

lol

[azure topaz]

so is it just a cyber power prebuilt

i had a ryzen version of i think that exact rig lol

before it was pretty:

[steel umbra]

is this a pc from 2000 bc

[clear canyon]

oh...

[ocean axle]

Why is the seemingly matched pair of DIMMs in the secondary slots?

[steel umbra]

yes

[azure topaz]

no matched dimms just white slots

only thing that looked good in the computer was that white dimm slot so it pu lls your eyes

[ocean axle]

Even worse

[steel umbra]

that got me too

[azure topaz]

was nicer when i was done, but its no longer togther anymore

[ocean axle]

That GPU sag though

[azure topaz]

b350m board, ryzen 5 1400, 16gb mixed ram, rx 570 4gb armor oc

yeah armor cards do that

when the gpu was in use it had a sag bracket

[ocean axle]

I'm aware, I had one

[azure topaz]

now its floating around my house somewhere

[azure topaz]

case is my server now tho lol

[serene pilot]

Guys im looking to buy a prebuild for gaming/streaming, and i can get with either ryzen 7 9850X3D or ryzen 9 9950X3D, and the ryzen 9 version is 200 USD cheaper with all other components being the same... any advice? Ive no clue about this. The only differnc i see is the 9950 is listed as cpu 'tray'

[azure topaz]

b350m board got given away to a friend

[steel umbra]

@azure topaz what kind of jumpscare is this

[azure topaz]

idk

[azure topaz]

whole rig was only 100$ tho so even if it was so gross its kinda worth it

[steel umbra]

it’s a coc ripoff and imo better

[azure topaz]

boom beach or whatever?

[steel umbra]

plunder pirates

[azure topaz]

ah

[steel umbra]

the game is more balanced

well, it hasn’t been updated for big quite a while

[left depot]

what about openmediavault?

[ebon spire]

Chat I'm cooked on decision making lol

I think maybe instead of a laptop like I was in here the other day talking about I think I'm gonna get a 3D printer because I want one i don't have to keep tinkering with

I've got like 3 options could I share them here?

[valid garden]

ya

[sharp ivy]

apart from the fan blades, that's not bad

nicer than my opti when I got it I think

[grizzled frost]

oh nice, an image of nothing

nothing identifiable at least

[azure topaz]

every fan was like that

[sharp ivy]

interesting RAM config

What AMD cpu?

[azure topaz]

the entire basement was like that

[azure topaz]

ryzen 5 1400

[azure topaz]

not dust but vape and cigarettes

[sharp ivy]

Ew

[azure topaz]

basically worst you can ask for in a pc

[sharp ivy]

Absolutely

[frigid blade]

what kinda trade is that 32gb is like $250

and they sell for like $900 used

[grizzled nova]

i dont even know what that is

[quasi moat]

I’d mortgage the house

[frigid blade]

thats pretty ugly

also dont post in multiple channels

[crude wharf]

There are separate network layers and device-level protections in place. Even though some devices are on the same physical network, they are logically segmented, meaning devices cannot see, interfere with, or affect each other.

Key points in simple terms:
• There are separate networks for different purposes (work vs home).
• On top of that, I’m using device-level segmentation, so even if one device were ever compromised, it cannot spread to other devices.
• Administrative access is locked down — only I have admin credentials on my system.
• Security hardening and antivirus protections are fully enabled.
• Virtualization is used for higher-risk or sensitive tasks, keeping them isolated.
• QoS (Quality of Service) ensures work traffic is prioritized and protected from slowdowns or traffic floods.
• Traffic is routed through Cloudflare, adding professional-grade mitigation against attacks and malicious traffic.

The most important takeaway:
👉 It does not matter which device might be targeted — nothing can propagate or impact other devices or anyone’s work environment.

This setup is intentionally layered and conservative, designed so everyone can work or use the internet normally without security risks or disruptions.

If anyone has concerns or wants clarification, I’m happy to explain further.

[crude wharf]

No

[steel umbra]

hmmm i’m not sure if i would use cloudflare for security

[crude wharf]

I use it for privacy what you mean

[steel umbra]

considering how often they had in the past breaches

something worse could happen

they’re also getting bigger so a greater target

[crude wharf]

I don’t think you get that what was breached was also fixed

[ivory mountain]

terrible opsec

yall should be embarassed

[crude wharf]

Quality of service

Qos

[steel umbra]

aslong you’re sending files through their servers they could always get stolen even if they don’t have the decryption key, and who knows there may be a breakthrough and it won’t be too long until your files are decrypted or they also manage to get hands on the key

again, the fact they got breached that many times of which some of the ways were really stupid of them, i wouldn’t trust them if the files you’re transfering are top secret

i wouldn’t be writing about it so much or at all if you didn’t mention “adding professional-grade mitigation-“

[crude wharf]

Oh ok I’m sorry so I can’t ask my friend two explain the idea I had

[flint lantern]

nevermind apparently that's normal

[crude wharf]

I had a idea about a car that has like a radiator turbo air compulsion with two raptor engines on the back

[steel umbra]

i wouldn’t buy it personally and buy like used rtx 30/40 series or rx 6900 xt, 7900xt if you’re looking for raw performance

but that’s up to you

[crude wharf]

Is this ai slop or or is it not mine

[glass crest]

Do u guys run DDU in safe mode or nah

[flint lantern]

second hand is risky here and the 7900xt is more expensive

[steel umbra]

oof

btw i usually ask the sellers to come to my place where i can test the gpu

like you don’t know what they may ship, one times it’s non working fans, other times it’s entirely diff gpu than on the listing

the gpu absolutely beat up

because they took photos off the internet from some russian reviewer and presented them as their own

[proper gull]

That's a drawing...

[crude wharf]

That I made from my idea

[crude wharf]

anybody know why my screen goes black sometimes? i updated to w11 and it still happens so it gotta be hardware no?

[steel umbra]

i had a glance of the third one, nice animation but idk something made me get bored after few minutes so

[swift moss]

they skin everyone and everything bro 😭

[steel umbra]

monsters

[swift moss]

there's possum, rabbit, mongolian sheep, australian sheep, afghani sheep, tibetian sheep, cow

[swift moss]

whyso?

[steel umbra]

yes

[cerulean dawn]

anyone please?

[swift moss]

dude it's a byproduct of the meat industry, they aren't monsters for making the most of what could be argued is a monstrous act

[ivory mountain]

i just watch mainstream shit lmao all these new animes look like slop

[swift moss]

meat farming is arguably monstrous, not the skinning of already dead animals

NO animals in the world are raised exclusively for skin

even in china you wont find a single farm that exists solely to get animal hides

[gritty panther]

I think it applies to foxes because people dont eat them and want their fur

[formal sonnet]

The same way people turn on PrimeTime TV and not be bored? I also don't understand it though. I'm very meticulous about what I consume.

[swift moss]

acc yes you might be right here I think they are raised for their fur

in nz at least we only skin predators

[calm estuary]

How is this tech chat lol

[gritty panther]

yea 9950x3d RAM is expoensive hurrdurr

[ivory mountain]

for primetime sports its one event, but the different genre's and the fact they have over 100 animes in their currently watching + starting new ones daily... 😭 i guess their attention span is js better

[calm estuary]

Lol

[steel umbra]

i mean they pay the industries for those pelts or skin/leather which makes them money and allowing them to size up hehehe
obviously you should buy plastic clothing that very nicely pollutes oceans 👌👌👌

[gritty panther]

filling up my local landfill like a true american. recycling is for losers

[steel umbra]

we go into the technicalities of our discussion

[calm estuary]

Need little help with ddu. I’m in safe mode, should I enable or disabled

“Remove C:\AMD driver folder”

[calm estuary]

I love lysol wipes

[swift moss]

true they are making a bit of side cash by creating a demand for the stuff but that's just inevitable unfortunately, no argument you or I could make that anything can be changed in this system

but by not buying meat I'd say could make a greater statement than not buying leather, even though i'd rather live with meat that even touch leather again 🤷

[calm estuary]

Should I buy a 5090 or a fursuit

[gritty panther]

why not both

[quasi moat]

I heard the founders edition comes with one

[calm estuary]

Broke

[steel umbra]

the system is a one big dilemma, a choice that may seem and even be perfect in one scenario can be horrible in others

what can i say

[swift moss]

i guess

[sinful cobalt]

5090

though its a pretty shit time to

[swift moss]

just watched a video on fur farming bro that shi is BRUTAL

traumatising ahh video

[steel umbra]

have you seen the videos where they throw chicks into shredders if they’re male

[gritty panther]

I regret not buying 5090 with nvidia email (1999.99)

I got lazy and didnt want to sell my 4090

[swift moss]

no 😭 sounds not very good either

[sinful cobalt]

fe is almost unobtanium

[gritty panther]

im dum 🙁 at that time I was like ehh 4090 is fine

I regret it right now lol. it was free money

[swift moss]

but like understand me when I say that at least chicken provide nutritional value outside of just looks, the foxes are just farmed for basically no reason which is a big nono imo

the meat industry may be cruel but at least it feeds us 🤷 just have to accept that sad truth

we could stop farming foxes right this instant and nothing would change - idk if I could say the same abt chicken

[steel umbra]

jobs would be lost

and the questions what jobs would they get

[gritty panther]

apparently they can be used for animal feed (to other fur-bearing animals like mink, racoon dogs) but most of them are disposed

[steel umbra]

remember it’s almost always a dilemma

[swift moss]

yeah in the video their carcasses are just put somewhere like the road

[steel umbra]

you have to think about the consiquences

you hate child labour? ok leave the children starve to death

[swift moss]

you reckon the people working there are also cruel? I mean you'd have to be to an extent

[gritty panther]

probably only a small percentage of them make use of the meat like the fancier factories

[swift moss]

that can be fixed with some laws 🤷

[swift moss]

yeah that's also money to turn them into meat

[steel umbra]

derived from taxes which go from families

and children work bc they have no money

that’s another dilemma for you

[swift moss]

i mean billionares can just pay them more like that's what i'm saying

nothing is stopping the government from mandating 40$ an hour for children or smthn

obv there is but you get what i mean

[steel umbra]

that has cons

it’s easy to say it in a rich country

[swift moss]

yes obviously much harder in 3rd world cities

[steel umbra]

by banning child labour in a poor country, you’re essentially starving the country even more

[swift moss]

and most businesses in those countries don't have great margins

they literally can't afford to pay kids to be competitive

[steel umbra]

where you save ethics you lose it somewhere else

[swift moss]

fair enough

[limber nacelle]

5090

then sell it for a profit cause it's probably gonna continue appreciating

then sell it if you feel like you don't need it

then get a fursuit if you still want one

i think the math is simple boss

[mint umbra]

What are first things to download on Linux

[cold skiff]

Many poor and third world countries consistently get free money for decades from the west. Especially in Africa. If they didn’t squander and hoard the money and make a few people rich, many could have built a proper nation.

[swift moss]

after the kernel, probably GNU

[quasi moat]

As a 5090 owner. Do not buy a 5090

[swift moss]

then networkmanager

[limber nacelle]

why not?

you could literally sell it for profit

[quasi moat]

Cause you have working brain cells

[limber nacelle]

if you had the capital to buy it to begin with

[steel umbra]

i agree with redistribution but the issue is who or which group redistribute it, they may become corrupt themselves

[limber nacelle]

i never said to keep it lmao

if you find you like it, sure keep it, but if not, you'd probably make it out with more money than you started with

if you simply sold it

[sinful cobalt]

5070ti is the way

[limber nacelle]

🤷

[limber nacelle]

was the way

[quasi moat]

Every time I’m kinda brok (every day) I think about how I could have gotten a 80 series for half the price

[sinful cobalt]

oh yeah i forgot

[limber nacelle]

until nvidia decided to kill it

[sinful cobalt]

now 5070/9070XT is the way

[limber nacelle]

ok and have half the gpu?

there's perfectly valid reasons to buy a 5090 🤷

i just don't have the money for one

🥀

[quasi moat]

Yes. This thing is a monster anyway. Half the gpu is still tanking everyone’s shit I’m here

[sinful cobalt]

I have a 5090 and im still more on dailying the 5070Ti

[cold skiff]

The sad thing is there is now a shift to give no money. Thus they are asking for compensation for being enslaved and invaded hundreds of years ago. All because they didn’t want to help themselves, but live off a free handout and expect things to magically get better

[limber nacelle]

y'know what's funny

[sinful cobalt]

not because its ass but because 5090 with that 512 bit bus is hella inefficient at idle and the games I frequent rn dont need that much power

[limber nacelle]

when the 4070ti super came out

[cold skiff]

Half the electric bill

[limber nacelle]

a lot of outlets were kinda shitting on it

telling people to buy the 4070 super or the 4080 super

[sinful cobalt]

Im consuming average 180w on 5070ti where 5090 is eating 250w on the same settings

70Ti is with a 265K whilst 5090 with a 9950x3d

[limber nacelle]

but like, the way i saw it, was it's always been just a budget 80 series card

and now that seems to be the popular consensus

or well, the 5070ti being the card to buy i mean

both are more or less the same card anyways

[steel umbra]

in an ideal fairy tale we would abolish capitalism but we live inrl and well, money is a motivation for sure

[limber nacelle]

that's what i've always been saying

A Nobel scientist said something very controversial about third world countries which was basically leave them to fend for themselves after decades of financial support and see how long they live.

My thing is. The guy who’s saying that is ab to dine and dash cause he can’t afford it anyway.

[steel umbra]

challenge is actually what makes our life interesting

[sinful cobalt]

I did consider a 4070TiS but I already was on a 4070S, and looking at 50 series potential

[cold skiff]

He lost his Nobel prize

[sinful cobalt]

But I didnt like my 4070TiS model options

all of them looked ass

[steel umbra]

oh wow for that?

[limber nacelle]

tbh, i really like pny cards

if i ever upgrade i'll probably get something PNY

[gritty panther]

5090 = big pp.

[limber nacelle]

[steel umbra]

i guess the “for how long they live” didn’t sound hmmm…

[sinful cobalt]

wrong, finsterr’s is small

[limber nacelle]

true big epeen

[cold skiff]

Well I mean he’s not wrong they’d be gone in a generation

90% of money third world gets from the west isn’t payment for goods, it’s donations

[steel umbra]

so he didn’t say they deserve it

[cold skiff]

Oh he said they deserved it

[steel umbra]

or he poorly expressed

[cold skiff]

That’s why he got it taken from him

Google it, bloke went hard on it like proper hard

[steel umbra]

also why do we even make those sea garbage collectors

when you can just… get better waste managmenet before the trash ends up in the ocean

i genuinely think it’s stupid

[limber nacelle]

or.... why not both

[steel umbra]

like i was skeptical about planting trees instead of more saving current forests

[limber nacelle]

there's already a ton of the trash in the sea

[steel umbra]

picking up trash in the sea is really inefficient and circumstantial

[cold skiff]

Trees are rare af in the universe. Save them

[limber nacelle]

ok but, you're missing my point

[steel umbra]

look at philippines

[limber nacelle]

my point is, we should definitely prevent garbage from reaching the sea

but we should also clean up the fucking garbage that's in there already

[steel umbra]

they’re dumping so much trash into the ocean because they don’t have great land area

[limber nacelle]

you're acting like it's one or the other

[limber nacelle]

ok and it doesn't help that other countries ship garbage to them

canada literally had a huge scandal over that

[steel umbra]

you make a lot of garbage by making those garbage collectors and have to employ a lot of people to operate them

[limber nacelle]

i can't imagine the amount of garbage it creates is significant compared to the garbage it collects and people are getting jobs

[steel umbra]

jobs that are meaningless only create negative net income and do no actually increase anything meaningful

you shouldn’t employ people to waste materials

[limber nacelle]

ok you're gonna have to find some hard numbers on the "making a ton of trash" point

cause i just don't believe that is the case

and it's not meaningless if it's actually doin something....?

[steel umbra]

look at what the machinery is made from

[limber nacelle]

like, surely you'd be collecting enough to offset the waste you'd be making, and more

[steel umbra]

i’m just being realistic that we should first stop dumping so much trash into ocean intead of inefficiently collecting it

[limber nacelle]

i never disputed that we should prevent garbage from reaching the sea, i'm just saying we could do both

🥀

[steel umbra]

i know but as of now both are stupid

when we don’t have the more important thing managed

the garbage collectors won’t prevent plastic from killing plankton, the garbage is there permanent and we’re adding more, more than the garbage collectors can collect under realistic economies

and plankton can affect the planet significantly yk oxygen

[swift moss]

sorry to break up the convo, which colour combination yall like the best?

[limber nacelle]

i hate the left and right

[formal sonnet]

The white on red is the only combination that will likely pass accessibility standards.

[swift moss]

yeah so do I ngl, i realistically can't decide between the two middle ones

[limber nacelle]

i think the left and right just don't have enough contrast

it's just really hardd to read

[swift moss]

yeah and I think it would stand out more

[swift moss]

yes for sure

[limber nacelle]

i don't like the red on white cuase it's just kinda.... uneappealing

so the white text on the red is my favourite

[swift moss]

yes and white gets dirty fast

[swift moss]

ngl mine too I like it the most probably

my inspiration letters are red so I think it's still faithful to the original

[steel umbra]

i don’t like the right one

[swift moss]

neither

i think i like the bottom one the most

it will pop out more too

white will get dirty quick for sure

[limber nacelle]

yeah i do not like white accesories or clothing cause it just becomes a worry for me, i get anxious trying to avoid getting it dirty

[swift moss]

yeah it's just a small tag but still

if it gets brown the red instantly becomes unreadable

I kinda like the pinkish one too although it's a little more yk

[limber nacelle]

oh hmmm

i think my opinion still holds

[swift moss]

top left?

[limber nacelle]

ye

[swift moss]

thanks

[limber nacelle]

cause it has a nice colour temperature contrast to the jeans

[swift moss]

yes true

[limber nacelle]

meanwhile on the white it's only a big change in value

[cold skiff]

Black BG, red text. Solves it

[limber nacelle]

well i guess value is imprtant too but idk, i just find the red on white not as appealing

[cold skiff]

Like plain black not the bumpy one you had

It stands out on anything then

[swift moss]

well its leather sorry, even if it's vegetanned light will shine and reflect

[cold skiff]

Your belt goes over it

You’re thinking too hard about this

[serene pumice]

Tivoli Cooper Cooling

[cold skiff]

Think like a consumer not a designer which tbh, I know will be hard . You just need it to work, in practice you put a belt on it, you don’t see it when you wear it. It’s not going to matter

Has anyone bought these and tested if they actually do surge protector, teardown, etc.?

it looks like a knockoff of Tripp-lite. I dont know enough or have the time and space to learn and check it myself, suffice to say dad bought a bunch of these last year in a random sale and recently I wanted to check if CCCEI are even legit surge protectors in the slightest.

[swift moss]

what about this then?

[swift moss]

@limber nacelle i think the red sometimes contrasts a little hard here

[cold skiff]

If someone’s bought black… they don’t want bright red to show

[swift moss]

the black works so much better (tbf like your suggestions)

[swift moss]

true

i think white wouldn't work either

[cold skiff]

There’s a reason jeans normally have tan leather / 2 tone brown or black with white/gold text on the UK

[steel umbra]

@limber nacelle like i’m not happy with how much money is spent on the ocean cleaning machinery when the same money could’ve been spent on waste management infrastructure before dumping

[cold skiff]

And tags externally in the uk are generally black with white text

[swift moss]

IF I can get pure black untextured leather I think this would look okay

[cold skiff]

Don’t reinvent the wheel is I guess what I’m saying

[swift moss]

yes yes thanks this is good advice

[swift moss]

the red text messes with it yeah

[steel umbra]

can you add red triangle corners

[swift moss]

yeah on the pink one they change to brown

[swift moss]

and make it white text?

[steel umbra]

uhhh just red triangle corners

[swift moss]

ok

[serene pumice]

wow, 99% off? What a great deal!

[swift moss]

INDEED

[steel umbra]

99% alcohol

yum chemicalz

[swift moss]

OKEI

howziss?

do not mind the blue line :D

[steel umbra]

the size of the left bottom corner would be fitting imo

[swift moss]

they are not very uniform but I was just using thick lines lol

[swift moss]

hmm why?

just curious

[steel umbra]

so it matches the geometry of the 9’s more

[swift moss]

turned clip content off

[swift moss]

oh so you're saying DON'T make it uniform?

[steel umbra]

they can be uniform

i mean so the red corners aren’t much/thicker than the thickest part of the 9’s

[swift moss]

oh yes yes one second

this better or a little larger?

[steel umbra]

about perfect

[swift moss]

thanks

Ill see how that looks on jeans

hmm

looks a little unnatural lol

tbf so do none of the others because it's cheap photoshop

[steel umbra]

it brings attention for sure

[swift moss]

yeah fair enough

actually looking back on this again I quite like it

i think red on black looks better than black on pink 🤷

too brutalist for such a nice looking dress HAHAHA

gothic

[steel umbra]

the tag looks too cool xdd

devilish

[unique aspen]

im switching back to windows

[rain ember]

why?

[unique aspen]

might do windows 10 enterprise ltsc tho

[formal sonnet]

Why? And also how? They don't sell LTSC licenses to consumers...

[unique aspen]

proton doesnt work

requires sse4.2

[steel umbra]

what about navy blue and white

[rain ember]

protonvpn-cli on arch linux WILL work

i am know the contributor ptr1337 wouldnt fuck up

[swift moss]

hahah yeah

[swift moss]

ill have a look at that too, I think the important part could be the 99% not the colour I guess

in front of a mod 😭

[unique aspen]

im a business

[rain ember]

sure buddy

just protonvpn-cli

[unique aspen]

i mean proton for steam

[sleek ibex]

I'd rather use something like mint at that point

[formal sonnet]

Oh sick, then yeah, enjoy the licensing while you have access to purchase it. 🙂

[rain ember]

then install the dependcies

[unique aspen]

i cant

[rain ember]

why not?

[unique aspen]

its a cpu instruction set missing

[rain ember]

what distro

[unique aspen]

bazzite

[rain ember]

so how is this linux fault your cpu sucks

and also bazzite sucks

[ivory mountain]

holy cook

[unique aspen]

on windows it runs games

[rain ember]

stick to arch based

[swift moss]

@steel umbra

[ivory mountain]

akira keeps cooking

[wispy thunder]

Intel N305? Or any of the N with the risc cores?

[rain ember]

because steam on windows doesnt need see4.2

[steel umbra]

white corners white corners!

[swift moss]

ok ill put straight onto garments

[sleek ibex]

https://tenor.com/view/popcorn-eating-gif-10104807991349274331

[velvet current]

i use linux!

[rain ember]

i mean i just cooked up a gui for paru
newbs

[ivory mountain]

i use arch btw

[rain ember]

and it is so easy to use and wont WONT break your db lock like the others cough shelly alpm

[steel umbra]

i use hyperos

[velvet current]

ubuntu 🥀

[rain ember]

ubuntu sucks to

[wispy thunder]

hyperos sucks

[sleek ibex]

Linux works perfectly fine for me gaming wise

[rain ember]

using eol kernels

[steel umbra]

ahaa i caught a fisch

[rain ember]

everything but bf1 works but i have an xbox anyway

[velvet current]

i use it cuz the games i play dont work here, so i wont be tempted to play 😂

[wispy thunder]

ok what

[rain ember]

i currently use cachyos with niri + noctialia or whatevr

[sleek ibex]

I mostly play single players and emulators anyway

[wispy thunder]

the point of ubuntu is to bring debian to the masses and it's been great at doing that

[rain ember]

eol kernel , snaps what else optimised packages for a turtle

[velvet current]

yeah

[rain ember]

fuck debian to xd

debian is only good on servers

[wispy thunder]

if LTS = outdated then Windows is outdated too with the NT kernel

[rain ember]

not lts its 25.04 or whatever uses an eol kernel

[winter lantern]

Do people really use linux because they can't handle a few pop ups? Like thats not a big deal just be an adult and ignore them

[velvet current]

i wonder how linux manages to run in 3gb of ram while windows takes 7

[rain ember]

its reg release uses eol kernel

[steel umbra]

blotwer

[rain ember]

monolithic kernel vs agentic ai os

[velvet current]

on idle btw

[viscid helm]

Hi, I found an M2 MAX 1TB SSD 64GB RAM
Battery Cycle 35 and health 98% (used)

it costs as much as an M5 512GB 16GB RAM (NEW)

do you think if it's worth it that I take this one instead of that M5?

[sleek ibex]

Speaking of Rust, how is System76's Rust based DE fairing?

[viscid helm]

I mainly edit videos

[rain ember]

its good just to new to fix random issues

[swift moss]

wait sorry lemme adjust second

[rain ember]

just stick to niri and noctiallia they are rust to xd

[swift moss]

there text aligned

[velvet current]

why is there no os that just stores everything in ram 🙈

[rain ember]

bruh

[velvet current]

i mean it'd be fast

[rain ember]

mxlinux tinycore linux

[velvet current]

there is?!

[rain ember]

many

[sleek ibex]

I see. I can't keep up with stuff like this like I used to

[steel umbra]

you can only do one style or multiple?

[sleek ibex]

[steel umbra]

on the final product

[rain ember]

i just use niri and noctialia because it does what i want

and is easy

[velvet current]

i have a esp 32 lying around, can that have some os ?

[wispy thunder]

it wasn't EOL when it came out

[rain ember]

NO REALLY???

[wispy thunder]

if next version is still on 6.17 then fine

[rain ember]

200mhz and 8kb of ram no

it is a microcontroller for just anything

[wispy thunder]

but like, every android device is still on like 5.3 or some shit with only the newest being on like 6.10

[rain ember]

i personally use bruce on mine

[sleek ibex]

640 kib ought to be enough for everyone /j

[steel umbra]

the blue is more settle and prob would not fight attention as much but it also kinda looks like a casino chip @swift moss

[rain ember]

we are on 6.19 ?

[velvet current]

i cant find a use for it lol, i got excited after watching a reel and got it

[rain ember]

they get an exuse because google maintains the android fork of linux

[wispy thunder]

"TBA" so idk whose we

[rain ember]

[rain ember]

6.19 is in its final stages of rc

[swift moss]

wdym?

[velvet current]

what

[swift moss]

oh yes I can do multiple this isnt a brand or anything @steel umbra

[steel umbra]

the style of the final tag

[rain ember]

firmwares

[swift moss]

yes yes I can switch it up between garments and stuff

i just want to add some leather tags and embroidery to my stuff

and I like 99%

[steel umbra]

yh then the both black & red and blue & white are fine

[swift moss]

I also though what would be cool would be

[steel umbra]

imo

i wouldn’t be able to design it better as of minimalist designs

[velvet current]

ima check that out

[swift moss]

HAHAHA

i really like the logo

if i just crop up to the red I think it look good

[wispy thunder]

eh

[steel umbra]

this has the supermarket tag vibe

[swift moss]

HAHAHA

fair enough

[wispy thunder]

I think the vertical KODAK looks bad

you need the older horizontal KODAK words

then crop it

[swift moss]

what about this?
