I love this, but it must take forever to overwrite an entire drive w/random data. You’re essentially running DBAN at that point, no?

Yeah, can we just switch to this plan?

Thanks for the tip, I’ll give this a try!

As someone that is stuck with an Nvidia card rn, I’ve had a few applications just refuse to work with Nvidia and Wayland on KDE Neon. Maybe I just need to tinker more.

Totally worth it with how good ryzens have held up performance wise. Unless you’re doing some really CPU heavy stuff or have a beast of a GPU, you probably won’t get bottlenecked by the CPU for at least 5 more years.

Unless you’re using windows in your homelab. I assume you’re not since you have a home lab.

With how good my 5600x still performs, I could very well see it lasting that long. Assuming it doesn’t randomly kill itself after a few years like my previous ryzen 5.

This is why I’m still running ddr4. Every time I think about upgrading a generation, there’s a run on some integral component.

Not a problem, I have zero interest in dealing with beehaw again if your mods are allowed to instigate fights, then hide behind the rules after their feelings get hurt.

If you’re not going to let people talk shit, fine. But if your own mods are going to get their comments removed too, maybe they shouldn’t be mods. This is the exact type of behavior people hate about reddit.

I don’t respect your authority as a mod any more than I respect your authority as an editor. Just because you have a title doesn’t mean you’re right or just.

What rule did I break that he did not also break? “Hostility can only come from beehaw users, not outsiders?”

Noticing some em dashes in there, so at least some of this is AI.

The parts about corporate infrastructure sound like a c suite dipshit trying to sound like they know what they’re talking about.

“Our networks run slower because we have to be compatible with older devices!”

No, Judith, your IT department just keeps 2.4ghz wifi available for the old devices while also running 5ghz. Those devices stay slow, but it doesn’t impact anyone else.

“Back in 2010, 100Mb internet was the fastest! No one could imagine gigabit becoming widely available! Stuff needs to be upgraded to handle it!” Judy, tons of businesses were running gigabit in 2010, and common network gear has had gigabit ports for years. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Oh no, we’re being so selfish. Why not buy a 10% performance upgrade every two years for $1000 while wages stagnate? Oh, and carriers don’t subsidize the cost at all anymore. They call it “free” then lock you into their most expensive plan so you spend thousands more on the plan than if you could have afforded to just buy the phone outright.

Fuck this out of touch reporting.

Yeah, they did some shifty stuff to pad their numbers. They still made an absurd amount of money.

Let me fix that phrasing: “One of the richest men in the world complains that others did not give him more money after his business made so much money.”

What a sad existence. Find some other form of validation, dude.

Yes, very true. It would be so nice to be able to get that as an OOBE behavior rather than a hacked together set of registry hacks and patched executables. Not denigrating the devs of these projects, they do an amazing job out engineering Microsoft’s attempts to stop them. It’s just absurd that the primary/only option for the operating system of a set of devices as ubiquitous as personal computers is such advertisment riddled shit with no ability to even buy out of it.
