So a republicans house is just this but every room is labeled guns?

Doesn't Windows 10 already do that? I could never get the freaking thing to leave my files behind and disable itself.

Windows 10 LTSC for the win if you have software you can't yet abandon.

Ur tolling right?

I chose Manjaro KDE as one of the SteamVR requirements is KDE Plasma. It's required because it has a DRM function to allow SteamVR to take ownership of the DisplayPort.

A quick google search says that PopOS is Gnome based. But KDE can be installed over it? I might give it a go.

Windows 10 LTSC FTW!!! I just installed it and wow is it snappier and devoid of nearly all of those annoyances. I have no idea if productivity apps are affected by its stripped down nature but for Steam gaming it's perfect. I get less lag spikes on steamVR.

I haven't trusted Windows in years. This is just for gaming. I have a physically separate hot swappable Optane SSDs for Linux and Windows Gaming.

For those who will winge at me for not just switching to Linux. During this process I gave a concerted effort to give Linux a go and chose Manjaro KDE to try for steamVR gaming. It sucked. Once I had worked out that it was a permissions issue (It's always a fucking permissions issue under Linux) and just ran it under the root account, there was extremely high latency for the VR compositor to HMD display. Completely unusable as it made me sick and that's usually very hard. I tried X11 and Wayland. Direct and Non Direct output modes. No success.

Isn't the Banana Pi R64/R3/R4 close enough to that?

FYI the open source OpenWRT based Banana Pi R3 AX 4x4 is a thing. Don't buy closed source Routers/APs on purpose.

Sound like another reason for the "free press" to get reforms about their accuracy reporting the "news". I am typically against such restrictive legislation but if the news holds that much power, they need to see some regulation put in place.

Every time someone writes x.com I immediately think they're talking about a porn site. What a shit rebrand. Or what a perfect name I guess?

I suppose one interpretation is that companies can no longer use "buy" and will have to use "rent" for that transaction.

My solution is RAIDZ5 and storing the backup on LTO6 tape with parity/erasure code. I think the fact that scrub times take 24 hours even on 16TB drives is already over the safety margin. If a drive failure happens, the first thing I'll do to run a manual diff backup which should take a fraction of the time and then run the ZFS resilver.

I'm beginning to see why SSD RAID is being considered now. My guess for HDDs in enterprise is that a RAID 15 (I made this up) would be considered. What I mean is data is stored on two identical servers each running RAID5 or 6. Off the shelf solutions like Gluster exist and that seems to be gaining traction at least according to Linus Tech Tips.

If your computer is incapable of even running Ubuntu. Then I don't think it's worth using.

 

Newegg seems to be no longer offering free over ~$380 World EggSaver Standard to Australia? Can anyone else confirm this?

 

Does lemmy have an even remotely thriving version of r/homelabsales?

I don't want to break my anti-reddit oath since June but this might do it.

The 10GBase-LR is 1310nm and the QSFP-40G-LR4 CWDM channels are 1271, 1291, 1311 and 1331 nm. Are the 1310nm and 3rd channel 1311nm technically compatible?

I have a 10Gb and (will eventually have) a 40Gb switch both fitted with basic LR (Q)SFP+ transceivers and want to know if I can directly connect them or will I have to use an adapter to fit an SFP+ in an QSFP+ port?

I'm looking at using the XQX2502 QSFP+.

EDIT: The goal of this exercise is I’m trying to work out if I can make an easily interoperable system where a singlemode fiber wall jack fed from a 40G switch can act as a both a 10G or 40G port as needed.

Alphacool only has plexi front. Is EK's nickel plating still iffy?
