Yeah, the ryzens are great too.

Full amd will treat you well, I’m running dual xeons and a Radeon pro with an arc 770 just for av1 encode right now.

Next round going full epyc.

Amd knocks Nvidia into a hat on Linux, the drivers are just too incredible.

With the exception of AI, where Nvidia is just plain the gold standard.

Intel is fine, it has exceptional video encoding and works.

Core i3 is fine, celeron can route, but you don’t have as much headroom, or room for firewall rules, etc. Recommend Intel x520 or mellanox cx3 or newer, though the cx2 is perfectly fine.

The bs about bsd being slower is maybe 15 years old at best?

Bsd is a monster for routing.

Run 25gbe routing, still can get by on your 4 core, but I throw some serious xeons at it anyway.

Meh, I like my udm.

I use some of the features, but mostly it just works, and it’s debian under the hood so I just ssh in and unfuck whatever needs unfucking.

It’s vastly closer to a hand-built setup than anything else, and you can spend less time worrying about security.

Ollama, llama3.2, deepcode and a bunch of others.

Using a GPU but man they’re picky, they mostly want Nvidia gpus.

Do NOT be afraid to run on the cpu. It’s slow, but for 1 user it’s actually mostly fine.

… Fuck, I’m like 60% sure I did the exact same thing.

I think if he wins he’s a dead man.

He’s great for getting elected, but terrible in power, so use him and lose him, blame it on the other side.

No reason to leave such a chaotic idiot in actual charge of anything.

Hope I’m wrong, he’s like Hitler, he always gets in his own way.

Large part of the country was built on that foundation. Shocking how proud of it they are.

There was one difficulty however of a serious nature attending an immediate choice by the people. The right of suffrage was much more diffusive in the Northern than the Southern States; and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes. The substitution of electors obviated this difficulty and seemed on the whole to be liable to fewest objections.

Nothing to do with travel, it was just the only way to launder slave votes

Yeah, no, everything won’t be fine.

We learned so much from WW2, and now the greatest generation are dead we’ve mostly forgotten those lessons.

Which means we’ll have to learn them again :(

I know and agree.

But we only adapt immunity from exposure, you can’t force it, we never could.

Nobody respected the nuclear bomb until Hiroshima, that’s an unfortunate tragedy, and we already forgot the horrors of war.

Humanity will have to teach itself again, lessons learned in blood can only ever be taught in the same language.

Yeah, but that’s the point of education, teaching you that your intuition isn’t always right, and that’s OK.

Whats devastating is when you combine religion, which says ‘either I’m the chosen of God and therefore if he loves me I’m perfect and can never do wrong’ with modern complexity.

I know so many people who think being wrong about anything is the end of the world, so they double and quadruple down and can never learn, they get violently defensive if you suggest they’re wrong about the smallest thing.

College is about repeated exposure to being wrong, and growing from it.

Yeah, we thought it would solve everything.

It solved problems that uncovered a much deeper set of underlying problems… :)

Oh, I thought he meant Zelensky.

You are shrooming if you think the puerto rico garbage comment does anything but drive up voting in the south.

They know they’re the only Real Americans, everyone else on the planet is garbage to them.

I agree, but the only way humans grow is through experience, we just have to fight as hard as we can through this transition.

Once the boomers are finally out of our misery it might be a fair fight again.

We are growing one.

Immunity comes from exposure, either to the infection, or to a vaccine.

Boomers see something on the internet they agree with, it’s gospel truth, because it proves them right!

Younger generations are slightly more skeptical, and it gets better with time (filter bubbles notwithstanding, and as an artifact of people still wanting to believe).

We will get there.

Well, not everyone, the Russians and Chinese are just plain perma-fucked.

It has.

The fact that we’re in others people’s faces isn’t a bug, unlike before we actually can confront each other and see their arguments, in the past we just made up what the other side believed.

This is a huge improvement, and we can disprove obvious lies to everyone except the truly stupid.

Yeah, growing pains, but still a massive improvement.

If he took that ride, western civ looks a lot more fucked right now.

China and Russia be looking at us like we’re the menu.

They don’t block dbzero, I get that, it’s usually just ignorable.

I used to, but they either got blocked or defeded,. either way my experience got WAY better.
