The whole BGP process with a private ASN that the ISP strips out and replace with their own ASN on the Internet is how "BYOIP" (bring your own IP) usually works.

The original French Republican Calendar determined the start of the year with the date of the autumnal equinox at the Paris Observatory. This made the calendar somewhat unpredictab…

Yes, desktops with two PCIe GPUs is actually the more common use case. As for dummy plug, it's most likely need to convince windows to turn on the GPU when you are not plugging a m…

You can always use a dummy plug to fool windows into believing there is a monitor attached. Then it's much more convenient than using a KVM switch.
