Well, fair point. There is mutiny and defection as options. I understand the consequences for such a decision is certain death, in contrast to probable death on the field, though.

Conscription?

Why would it be a war crime? Just can’t use the chemical payloads over civilian populations like Russia was during their initial campaigns.

Use of napalm also isn’t a war crime, the context of targets is what makes it one.

Source? I’d like to see some modern numbers about those compile times. Hasn’t been my experience at all.

I’ve had a 1070, 3060 and now 4080 on the same install. No problems here expect when the 3060 malfunctioned - replicated with windows. Some distros though can be nvidia horror stories because they don’t ship updates fast enough, I use arch nvidia-dkms btw

It’s been a while so my info is likely out of date- but my vive worked perfect with Linux, steam VR support was great. Meta/oculus support was non existent.

This has been the best part of how it’s developed the past few years. I’ve recently bought lies of p, baldur’s gate 3, and sons of the forest (at 1.0) without needing to look up anything. All three simply installed and ran great. So nice not having to fiddle with launch options and stuff.

Oh see I didn’t interpret the forever mouse as a single product, more likely they’d like to use even cheaper switches and components and make RMA/replacement normal under the subscription. New mouse every year for just $14.99/month - what a deal! Right, guys? Guys?

risc v wouldn’t be worth much right now but snapdragon I could see getting socketed at some point.

No worries, it’s all good! It’s basically two identical drives. The backup drive doesn’t get much use outside of the rsync process, but if the main drive fails, I am able to jump onto to the backup drive without much interruption. Before rsync runs it does a comparison and only moves modified files, so it’s not a bulk rewrite every week- just brings the target up to parity with the source. If both of these drives kick the bucket at the same time I guess that will just have to accept it as very bad luck lol, only so much I can do. But the plan is when the main drive fails, backup will get promoted to main until I’m able to backfill another drive.

I’ve got a fever recently, and the only prescription is more cuda cores.

The ssds I kept are newer, system was moved off spinning disks around 2018. SSD undeniably better performance for any machine still running HDD

Thank you :) I tried to be reasonable with it, it’s all too easy to break the bank haha. I have two “system” ssds that replicates itself with a weekly rsync job, and the larger storage SSD has an even larger SATA HDD it syncs to. Good looking out!

Motherboards are tough to recommend because it really depends what you need from your system. My approach was to choose a CPU first then I could start looking at boards supporting the socket. I wanted ATX, nothing smaller. Memory support, just DDR5 and room to expand (it turns out most boards will handle like 192GB these days lol). I wanted the ability to change CPU frequency, that eliminated boards with a B-series chipsets. Next SSD support (at least 3x m.2) and USB ports (minimum 6x USB 3.0). Finally price, I didn’t want to exceed $250.

When all that was dialed in, I was left with like 8 options, from there it was manageable to read reviews for the nuance between them.

The current pop_os dark is already pretty damn good, it’s a very refined theme

Deadjournal was (is?) such an excellent niche corner of the internet. I remember being young and having trouble connecting the site, totally my fault, but I sent them an email and the admins Cryo and SCSi personally helped me get it figured out. In hindsight I couldn’t imagine another platform taking the time.
