I live in a rural community. What scares me the most is the dumbass hicks flying around in their giant vehicles, both old and young. They’re always driving like their houses are on fire.

Stick it to the man!

I had a frustrating issue yesterday. I had removed drives, and forgot to edit my hardware config, so it kept failing to boot and would go into emergency mode, which I didn’t have an internet connection in so I couldn’t rebuild.

I ended up having to figure out which drive was missing in order to get it to boot (long story, I had to go through a stack of 4tb drives to find the right one).

How could I have fixed this issue had the drive not been available? Manually bringing up the network stack, I suppose?

I seen it on the television.

You’re forgetting the amount of energy required to extract, transport, and refine the oil. Refining the oil is especially energy intense. It’s not even up for debate at this point unless you’re a naive boomer taking in the Faux News.

A shithead? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I enjoy Matrix.

Matrix.

Millions of people want to plant Elon Musk six feet under.

But then you has Google on your home network. -_-

The old cable companies are clinging to their coax! Let DOCSIS die!

This wouldn’t be for a single customer. It’s 50 gig PON, which would serve 32-64 different customers. I’m not an engineer, but I’m assuming it will pave the way for 2.5-5 Gbps services.

Most companies are currently switching from GPON (2.5 gig shared 32 ways), to XGSPON (10 Gbps split between 32-64 customers).

The company I work for has been deploying XGSPON on Nokia transport for a few years now. It’s very nice.

Edit: I wasn’t real specific on how it’s split. So that 50 Gbps feed is sent down a single fiber to a splitter, which is often in the field in an AP cabinet. From there fiber that actually goes to the customer’s premise gets connected. It feels a little dirty splitting like some sort of old coax system, but it makes rolling out fiber to the home much, much quicker.

If they could both just beat each other to death, that’d be great.

To be fair, I’m in my thirties and can’t make it through a full story without veering off and getting lost as well. ;)

It was real difficult to watch, though. As a parent, I fear for my children’s future. I’d love to bounce, but where is there to go? The US has screwed the entire planet.

I purchased both the 7900xtx and a 4090. Kept the 7900xtx. Absolutely adore this card. Being a Linux nerd made it a no brainer, but the performance vs price ratio wasn’t there.

That explains the consistent decline in performance. Thanks for the info.

My kids, unfortunately, love the game, so I’ve kept up with performance a little bit. It seems they’re trying their best to make it run like trash. They can’t even support the few operating systems it does run on. I haven’t noticed any mind blowing graphics updates, but fps is around a third of what it used go be. Such a garbage company.

I can’t wait till those regulations get enforced.

You win best username. I’m assuming you’re a Linux nerd as well. <3

Praise be.
