Damn, that’s impressive. My rig idles at ~110W, but I’ve heard that the 5800X3D just…does that. Especially so with the fact that it has AMD’s beefiest GPU.

I made r/FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR what it is today. I took it from 150 subs in 2018 to over 1M subs by 2020. I was the one who initially implemented the “Banhammer bot”.

Looking back, all that work I put into building it up meant absolutely nothing to reddit besides getting them more users for their eventual IPO. I put up with a lot of shit, including an attempted coup by r/fatpeoplehate refugees and a stint where one of the posts made it to r/all somehow… That was a fun night. Luckily I was already up with my newborn before shit hit the fan completely haha

That truck weighs a whopping 10,000 lbs though.

That’s a fair point.

Brave never sat right with me, but I could never put my finger on it until last week. I know they had the “double dipping” and referral code issues, but then the CEO decided to go on a right wing nutjob rant which sealed the deal for me.

They deleted my account for me. Apparently being anti-Nazi is a bad thing there.

Me while cooking mac and cheese for the kids:
“Echo, set timer for 8 minutes”

Echo: “GOOD EVENING [me], SETTING TIMER FOR 8 MINUTES”

No, shut the fuck up and just set the goddamn timer without the extra fluff. I’ve seen Ex Machina, I know you have no empathy, so knock off the “nice” shit and do what I fucking ask without anything else.

Gotta let it take the W on that first answer, honestly.

“I’m not sure, but ChatGPT says…”

No, fuck off, go back to grade school.

Slap a few zigbee smart plugs into your setup, cluster them in Home Assistant, and measure the total power draw. That’s what I do. It’s eye-opening… I learned that my 5800X3D/7900XTX gaming PC is capable of pulling exponentially more power than my entire server cluster. I shut that thing off when I’m not using it now haha.

Even first gen i-series Intel CPUs support VT-d. I had an i7-870 that ran my entire setup under Proxmox for several years, until early 2023.

What you really need is RAM. In my case, ~32GB per node in a three-machine cluster is not quite enough, but a 4c/8t CPU is more than plenty.

I run 3x 7th gen Intel mini PCs in a Proxmox cluster, plus a 2014 Mac mini on a 4th gen i5 attached to 3x 4TB drives in RAID5 (my NAS), plus an 8TB backup drive. I also run Home Assistant on a Lenovo M710q Tiny (separate because I use Zigbee and don’t wanna deal with USB passthrough and migrating VMs and containers…). Total average draw is ~100W.

I’ve gone back to individual stores for various shit. My motorcycle needs some rubber bushings for its gas tank mount. They usually run about $11 each from Honda, but Amazon wants $20 each. And that’s with Prime. I think I’m done paying for Prime at this point.

Then don’t get it.

If you must have it, find something equivalent, maybe a bit cheaper and older, that isn’t ad-supported.

I’d rather not, thanks.

Though I would enjoy watching him fellate a cactus.

Which is why I buy devices that allow me to do just that.

It’s odd, really. I always check for an F-Droid entry or other means of installation before going to the play store.

I think the operative word is “slaves”.

See you just need to have inside information. There’s absolutely no way these rich assfucks aren’t trading on insider info.

Ah, pulling a Budd Dwyer, except be actually guilty.
