@TrenchcoatFullofBats I think this is the winning answer. Looks like it's about a 1060 6GB, which should be enough horsepower for several desktop VMs, and keeps open my full profile slots should I ever want to install something even more powerful in the future. vGPU support is also nice so I don't have to juggle which VM gets which GPU.

@Nilz Do you know if the WX 5100 supports SR-VIO? Getting mixed answers about what if any AMD GPUs support it, but having VMs share a single physical GPU would be a perfect solution.

@Nugget Yeah an older Quadro like the P600 is the fallback option. Looks like they run about $50 used on eBay.

Actually I lied, according to the Dell manual the full profile slots have a connector that provides PCIe power though I'd have to buy a cable for it. Long term the answer might be to get a used V100 and dive deep into the vGPU rabbit hole (erp).

@JustEnoughDucks I am planning on getting an Intel Arc for my Jellyfin server at some point. Have an old Dell SFF with a 8700 that I think I'll eventually stuff into a 2U chassis. It's probably overkill for my VM server though, since the VMs really just need to not lag in desktop application work (aka IntelliJ) and play Youtube videos without obvious framing.

A little while ago, I read an argument that Traverse City, MI will be the next Portland. I think that's right. There's a lot of outdooring within a day drive, and it's pretty affordable.

Your main downsides are summer wildfire smoke will presumably be a regular thing going forward, and winters are cold with lots of snow thanks to lake effect. Michigan politics are interesting, and Traverse City is in a historically red part of the state - but I think that's changing.

500k will definitely get you a good house unless you want something extremely new or right downtown. That particular listing is also one block away from one of my favorite breweries of all time.

"Healthier" is a fuzzy, difficult to define concept in food, but there's minimal nutritional differences between canned, frozen, and fresh fruits and vegetables. Avoid cans with BPA lining and anything with lots of added salt or sugar, but otherwise don't worry about it.

The practical answer is whatever helps you not eat takeout all the time is what you should stick with. If you are worried, prewashed salad lettuce packs are pretty cheap and are a manageable two meals. I really hate juggling the shelf life of produce as well.

That's a good suggestion, I was looking at stainless steel wool and wasn't finding a lot of great options.

You telling me these brisket sandwiches I've been finding outside are actually counterfeit corned beef and pastrami?

Might be onto something, I've been finding delicious brisket sandwiches outside my house. Even found a knish the other day.

It's super awkward but I can get to it from inside the house (between insulation and hole). Going to have to move my workbench but so be it.

Any direction on the type/brand of foam I should use? I have a can of fireblock to seal ethernet runs from my basement to main floor, though it's probably seized up by now.

For context, this is leading to my AC unit. While hanging a light above my workbench, I noticed daylight coming in from the wall where there shouldn't be any. It appears a previous owner had pulled back the insulation and forgot to put it back - shudder to think how much money that's costed me over the last two years. Would like a hardier seal than insulation to stop water and mice, but not sure what is required.

This reinforces my belief that online advertising produces a lot of objective data ("how many times was my ad viewed? clicked?") but benefits from not being able to tie that to outcomes companies are actually interested in ("are the ads expanding business?").

A number of years ago I read an analysis on how some large social media site had changed the order of a few important buttons out of the blue. This was likely from A/B testing showing increased engagement, but it was probably just confused users clicking on it. I bet similar things happen all the time in ads, possibly inadvertently. If an A/B change shows increased ad clicks, it's unlikely not to be adopted, even if it's not intentional clicks.

Is there any actual analysis this went down as written? This sets off two eyebrow alarms for me: 1. AI doing something revolutionary without serious issues and 2. clean cut police work, which never happens (at least not anymore).

Honestly I'd put money down the police caught him by chance and went backwards to find a good explanation for how. I'd also be highly skeptical of an AI system that actually catching drug dealers without also catching like everyone else.

It was never properly contained in the first place.

Only issue I had with a similar setup is turns out the old HP desktop I bought didn't support VT-d on the chipset, only on the CPU. Had do some crazy hacks to get it to forward a 10gbe NIC plugged into the x16 slot.

Then I discovered the NIC I had was just old enough (ConnectX-3) that getting it to properly forward was finicky, so I had to buy a much more expensive ConnectX-4. My next task is to see if I can give it a virtual NIC, have OPNsense only listen to web requests on that interface, and use the host's Nginx reverse proxy container for SSL.

You might interested in the slowcore genre, notably the band Low.

I'd say the distinction is the definitely not ADHD variant of the scene has Hal finishing replacing the bulb, and then working on the fixing the shelf, and so on. But that wouldn't be funny.

Also I just noticed that he gets a screwdriver out of the drawer, but the shelf support appears to have a loose nail.

FYI the scene this is from. If you "so bad it's good" media I highly recommend Danger 5. It's one of the very few things to initially try that and pull it off.

You might know it from this gif.

If you live by a major university, they likely have property disposition where you can pick up slightly older equipment, sometimes for super cheap.
