I’ve renovated many parts of my house myself. I hired out 1 time to a contractor and regretted doing so. Similar to your sentiment, I feel contractors don’t have the same care as I…

I see it as well in southern KC. I've been to Alaska in the winter with hopes to the see the Northern Lights. Pretty awesome to see it this far south!

In my scenario, PBS runs on a VM on my Synology. My Synology does automated backups to Backblaze B2 daily. It averages about $5/TB for B2 storage costs for me.I only backup the cri…

The only downside is that you essentially lock the GPU to 1 VM which there is nothing wrong with doing. At least with LXC, you can share device across multiple containers.

For me, I check my used bookstores for movies that aren't easy to find anymore. I've had good luck so far. Most used movies including Blu-Ray are around $6 USD.

I did this for a while where I ran multiple VMs, some of which had PCIE passthrough for some GPUs on both Windows and Linux. Luckily my motherboard separated out IOMMU groupings to…

From what I remember, some 9600s had the same hardware as a 9800 but had features/processors disabled from the card BIOS. Those could be unlocked with the right BIOS.

> The cool kids had a Barton Athlon XP 2500+ and a Radeon 9600. The rich kids had a 9800. I still remember trying to flash my 9600 bios to a 9800 because some were able to that. Un…

Surprisingly it has been smooth. Power modes work as you would expect even across OSes. I always run the graphics mode in hybrid mode to I’m using the integrated chip 90% of the ti…

I have the older version with the 6900HS but it’s more or less the same. I’ve run pop_os as well as fedora on it. Everything works great but you’ll have to compile the wifi driver …

I self-host my stuff as well but with a 2012 Mac Mini running Proxmox. I use it as a means to learn sysadmin things. I get my static IP by using the smallest VPS from vultr with a …

Have you tried the installer that contains nvidia drivers already installed?

Thanks for the suggestion but I've already tried that and many other reported possible fixes that didn't work in my case.

I'd LOVE to have a native macOS client for Overwatch. Since I upgraded to a 2019 16" MacBook Pro, my eGPU no longer works in Bootcamp due to the dreaded Error 12 and I can't resolv…

I agree. This book is excellent. It helped me understand D3 immensely and gave me the confidence to start making my own charts from my own data.

I've been using The Lounge for quite some time as my IRC client. I run it in a Docker container. Its run really smoothly with no issues. I've been very happy with it.

You can write your own theme still. I wrote my own. Mine serves 2.6kB for CSS and 16kB for app-specific javascript--mostly for highlighting of code blocks

I'm still of the firm opinion that a blog on Ghost is a great option for most people. It works with very little maintenance; Letsencrypt is built into the CLI tool so it's very eas…

I have a 2015 15" MacBook Pro with an eGPU containing a Vega 64. I haven't really had any issues with it other than some OS hacks to get it working with TB2 instead of the fully su…

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to have a real terminal where I could run emacs.

Swift can be compiled and run on Linux. It's most prevalent on Apple platforms. It's usefulness outside of the Apple platform is a different topic though. https://swift.org/about/#…

The Unifi FlexHD is an AP designed to sit on a tabletop. You'd have better luck with that if you aren't able to ceiling-mount or wall-mount. https://store.ui.com/collections/wirele…

I became a manager back in August. I took SNYAM (So Now You're A Manager) training shortly after becoming a manager. I found it 100% worth the cost. Jen, trainer, goes through what…

I've been considering Ubiquiti since I'm going to redoing all the networking in my new house. Does Ubiquiti offer inner sort of facial-recognition-based alerts?

I don’t have specific devices but that’s Apple’s goal with HomeKit Secure Video. The video is stored in your iCloud storage and processed locally in your network on an AppleTV or o…
