The things you're pointing out - modifying /etc/resolv.conf, knowing whats in /etc/shadow, and knowing how to command line configure zfs arrays are things a linux engineer can easily pickup in 10 years. A 10 year network engineer should know all the ins and outs of IPv4, IPv6, and understand...

I often like to tell my co workers that IT Experience of more than 10 years is more trivia than value. I’ve been working over 20, but knowing modem AT codes, how to configure iPlanet, knowing the “Pencil trick” - it’s all just trivia. Things of value that I picked up 20 years ago are all things...

Oh, that's exciting. I could upgrade the distributed computing pi farm its very easy to undervolt and under clock them - just an entry in a text file. All my pi 4s can run at stock speed at 20% less voltage than stock

The industry will fight with itself on this topic. The monitor makers want to sell you a 4k or an 8k monitor, and that isn't compatible with everyone streaming. Growth of eSports where latency is king is also at conflict with everything moving to the cloud.

Baulder’s gate 1 and 2 were amazing, but I can’t imagine the sales numbers from the 90s have any relevance on how BG3 would do. A much better indication is the fact that BG 1 and 2 got a remaster and expansion done like 2018 - bad games don’t get that kind of treatment. Furthermore a...

Latency is a big deal with SSDs - my old Samsung 970 Pro is lower latency than my 980 pro, so I use the 970 for OS drive. I really lament that intel canned Optaine drives, as those were the next step in performance

I mean, I've been running SSDs since the X25m around 2009, so this transistion seems well overdue. To be fair, I did use a short stroked 5 drive WD Velicoraptor matrix raid array until around 2013 for games like civilization that didn't really need the extra speed, but I wouldn't have...

Isn't the 5090 estimated for Q4 2025? 2 years is a decent amount of time for new product.

The real question is, how many points per watt in folding at home

We watch it a ton. We have to have 1000+ hours watched on it, but I don’t think that gets tracked anywhere visible to the end user. Would easily be worth double the price.

I was at microcenter yesterday buying a case. Cheapest 4090 they had was a Zotac for 1649, and numerous options at 1699. That’s almost msrp for the founders Edition.

Huh, the power company must have been lying to me on my last bill when it showed 337 KWh of excess generation from my panels. Wouldn’t even need every home in the neighborhood to have rooftop panels to yield a surplus. Now, you might just say that my house isn’t reproducible at large scale...

Yes, they DO work like normal batteries in that regard. The idea is that you use excess solar and wind to winch a weight. You know, during the day. Then during the night when the sun isn’t shining, you let the weight turn a generator. Bam, extra energy from the day available at night. Nice...

Even with Battery production, the total lifetime emissions of EVs is lower than ICE vehicles. https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/electric-vehicle-myths#Myth2 As for Eastern Europe, I have colleagues in both the Czech Republic and Poland driving EV. I’m not sure where you’re speaking of, but I...

This is not the endgame monitor we’re looking for. And I should know :D

Diablo ii is one of my favorite games, and I’m super glad they did a remaster. That said, I get tired of it after about a year

Diablo ii beat d3 on grind by like 10 years :D

There have been ads for it on ESPN since before Christmas. That’s the only TV I watch, but I can only assume it’s plastered everywhere

It won’t start with That, of course. They will make a truly useful tool first, then ruin it with ads. Kind of like how the Amazon product search used to be.
