A C/C++ dev acting this way‽ Well I am shocked, SHOCKED!
I heard the wifi situation was difficult to deal with
Understatement of the year LMAO nah it was terrible. Typically the top 3 biggest PITA common issues was GPU, WiFi and trackpad, in that order. Every. Time. Didn’t have the right brand, you were SOL. If you had a Dell with that wonderful WiFi card whitelist the damn brands that worked were always off it or were crappy.
Though I’d take WiFi driver issues over having to deal with that dam GPU bumble bee-thingy (idr anymore, the gaming laptop GPU “hot switching” thing)
I’m going to go lay down and have my trauma flashbacks now…
If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
I loathe that line
How well does it go over if you try to say “well acktuslly…” when it comes to password changes.
Well, it went over easy, but I also gained the authority to implement or toss such policies when I took my job LMAO
In any case, I was referring to the “my environment” part since it implied you had such authority and were just choosing to emulate policies of others, ofc I don’t mean to make decisions you don’t have the authority to. Hard evidence is hard evidence though, it does give you a leg to stand on should you propose such changes
still want to make sure even on my private network I’m using valid certs. A lot of security departments require that too even if the device isn’t public facing.
Is there a hard source with evidence that this is at all needed? Because there are a lot of things that “security departments” do that amount to security theater. Like forcing arbitrary password changes org wide.
The C/C++ fandom is…something else. For many, C is perfect for every use case and everything else higher level from C# to JavaScript is nothing but inefficient waste for programmers who aren’t good enough for something like C lol

Note, I say DDR4 for cost reasons, if you’re willing, able and desire to spend more upfront for some future proofing DDR5 is newer and faster and comes in higher per-stick capacities. But it is considerably more expensive than DDR4 for the newness
I clocked my 2 full 2u servers (1Us and 2Us (esp 1Us) tend to be the louder screecher variety because of the considerably smaller fans, 3 and 4U servers trend towards more quiet and lower tone, closer to a typical desktop fan) at 82DBs on a desible meter app whose most powerful GPU is a single 1080 for transcoding purposes that isn’t even under load ATM
A TrueNAS probably wouldn’t be too bad, if you’re the type to enjoy whitenoisr to sleep it might even be beneficial.
The Proxmox will be the one with the 2-4 GPUs yes? It’ll fucking sound like a 747 is taking off in your bedroom whenever it’s under load
Also don’t forget cooling, I basement is a good option because its naturally cooler, but you’ll still need to ensure good airflow. Assuming your basement is not in a hot state/country, if it is you’ll need to explore dedicated active cooling systems. If you own or otherwise can make modifications, a split mini/heat pump system would do well.
It will generate considerable heat, I posted a meme just the other day about my servers doubling as a heater supplement system. Kinda of exaggerating for the meme, but it does have an effect. It increases the temp in my basement office 8-10 degrees under load
Makes sense, this was also years ago so small details are being forgotten, could have also been a 15 or possibly 20. It was one circuit split between 2 rooms, which was the norm apparently for the time it was built in the early 80s (and not a damn thing was ever upgraded, including the outlets)
It was also a small extinguisher handleable fire, but it was enough to be scary AF LMAO
Yea, I keep the outlet around as a reminder lol
The way the electrician explained it to me at the time was that I didn’t technically exceed 20 AMPs but I was running close to it for sustained long periods of time heating up the wire in the wall and outlet slowly melting it over time until it finally buckled causing a small fire and then tripping the breaker
Stick with DDR4 ECC for a server environment, if you want to not be limited to 70b models, id dump more money in trying to snag more GPUs, otherwise you’d probably be fine with the 3000 series as long as you meet vRAM requirements
Have you considered secondary variables? Where are you going to run this? If you’re running it in your house this is going to be noisy and power hungry. What room are you running it in? What’s the amperage of the lines going to the outlets there? Is your house older? It’s probably a 20 amp on a shared circuit and really easy to overload and cause a fire
This is what happens when you overload a homes circuit lines
+1 for NPM! Used to even do things manually, but I’m too lazy for that and NPM fulfils nearly all my use cases lol
Yes. Like I said, I crosspost em when I see em, not based on how popular I think it’ll be.
In this case I saw it an hour after posting, but there are plenty that I’ve done that are just minutes apart
False, that appears to be hiddenlayer posting to all 3 major programmer humors
I only do .ml to here as part of a small ongoing effort to direct content away from a tankie instance to other instances. I don’t even crosspost based on how “hot” they are, just whenever I see them.
I didn’t even know there was a .world programmer humor, why did they use the exact same .ml version logo lmao
Authentik FTW!
probably some ancient mayan rites…lots of goats
My favorite part LMAO
Hm sounds like the bug is in the code that handles the “one session only” rule
Per Microshits T&Cs you can only have 1 session of any kind at a time unless you get the super special business multi seat RDP license (because ofc)
I actually have a Powershell script I found awhile back that patches the RDP DLL so it stops caring about multiple sessions
I spent entirely too much time trying to track down
Been there, if you have the audacity to force your way into the WindowsApps folder you’ll bork the permissions systems so bad that every single post about how to fix it ends in “just reinstall” me being me that was an unacceptable answer.
Took me a week to fix it so the MS store would launch again. On the flip side, I have a whole new understanding of the permissions system on windows. Heh
That’s when you get a job at said company, fix the big and then quit.
Bonus! You get a neat news article or 2 and at least 3 memes about you doing it lmao
If it’s tech he doesn’t know shit about it, I learned that years ago during the Twitter acquisition days
He sounds like a CEO who “knows enough to fuck shit up, not enough to know how to fix it, but thinks they do” AKA the worst executive known to IT
