They’re actually about the same heat wise. I use some relative cheap NICs based on the Intel 82599 controller and 10G SFP+ modules.

It’s not a bad setup, I wish there was a second NVMe slot in my M920q boxes, but what are you going to do?

Building a M920x with 4 NVMe and 10gig Ethernet is very tempting.

Hey that’s almost me! My home lab is three M920q systems with 10Gb fiber for Ceph. I didn’t know you could do multiple NVMes though, right now I’m doing some janky AF USB drives.

St Louis style is basically sauce and plastic cheese on cardboard.

It skips over all the advertising slop and stories

That’s what ad block and a scroll wheel are for.

I’ve started to add date limits to my web queries for things that don’t require current information like recipes.

No I do not want to see your AI slop recipe for tomato sandwiches “author” from 2025, I’ll go with a shitty web blog from 2021 thank you very much.

Good meme, but Bat Facts™️ time! Unlike birds, bats cannot take off to fly from the ground. If you see one like this, they could be injured or just stuck.

If you see a bat on the ground like this, call your local wildlife rescue for instructions. They may have you try to transport the bat in a cardboard box to their location, or possibly put it on a nearby tree.

when has slacktivism ever changed the minds

Hey, don’t you remember how changing your Twitter profile picture to have a green overlay encouraged the Arab Spring to bring lasting democracy all over the Middle East?!? /s

As a counter point, the US would have to re-vote for the 14th Amendment.

As a counter counter point also the 2nd.

You know, I think I like the established way of doing amendments - passes by Congress and a plurality of the states.

They should tap into the gamer market. HBO Min/Max - Optimize your viewing habits to minimize not fun while maximizing fun fun!

Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions… 😠

Honestly? This is a great, low stakes way of letting him get the feel for the game without feeling like he’s not “helping”.

I’ve been playing Gravity Rush from the PS Vita. I went in blind and have been enjoying it so far. I can’t get motion controls to work, but that hasn’t stopped me yet.

I wish Expedition 33 was more than 10% off. I get why, but still.

My wishlist has some sub $5USD games so I’ll probably drop 20 or so. I really don’t need the extras though. According to SteamDB, I’ve only played about 41% of my 714 games - and that doesn’t include all the GOG and free Epic/Amazon games I’ve snagged over the years.

Cast to Chill is a pretty great fishing game for the steam deck. I’ve been enjoying it since the NextFest demo.

Is there something on your wishlist that’s on discount?

Noclip Crew did a quick look for this: https://youtu.be/jeiKOdka6DA

It looks good!

mom, Barbie says she can’t connect to the Internet, is the wifi down?

I would get multiple drives and do RAID. Here’s a helpful calculator to figure out drive quantity, size, and configuration. The reason to do RAID is redundancy. Hard drives will fail (even NAS branded drives). You do not want your photos, media, etc to be lost in that case. I personally do not go with anything below RAID5 (and for super sensitive things, I’ll even go RAID6 - despite the hit on overall capacity. If the optiplex has drive capacity for multiple drives, I strongly recommend you go this route.

There’s nothing worse than taking extreme measures to troubleshoot a problem with a third party system that’s out of your control.
