M&M (masterbation and meth)

In the before times we would make something called a crossover cable to allow two network cards talk to each other without a switch or hub between them.

Void and time crystals obviously. And novelty portable holes by acme

Not that this is too scale but Venus is .95 the size of earth while Mars is a fair bit smaller at roughly 1/2 the size of earth.

I don’t allow unsupervised watching of YouTube and all other platforms are forbidden.

Their computers are in a public space where I can see what they are doing and watching.

I also do not allow screens in their bedrooms the occasional exception being for homework not only if they can’t get it done in a common room.

Real win for men’s rights! /s

I just get used Pixel phones and put Lineage OS on them, or Graphene if thats more you vibe. I would love to one day move to some a more open and repairable phone but the US market just does not seem interested.

Have you tried OpenRGB yet?

But i live in America and I dont want to be blown up!

reddit is garbage period, who cares what color of paint you put on it.

The wall mount rack is a used ACP Netshelter. I was able to find it on Craigslist a few years ago. The rackmount face plates are custom 3d printed but unfinished as I abandoned the project due to life.

I may, it was a massive work in progress that I never finished because life decided to beat the crap out of me for the last 3 years. I was trying to build a modular system that was 19" and 10" rack compatible and would have storage options as well. In this case its 2x Seagate external drives, and a WD external drive plugged in via USB3 and setup in a CEPH cluster.

House of Suns is a fantastic read. You should also look at his shorts in Diamond Dogs and Turquoise Days.

Yes thats the MS-A1 which is a great little box but not as flexible as the MS-01. It lacks the PCIe slot, and only has 2x 2.5g Ethernet ports.

You probably wont find the MS-01 used since its not like the Lenovo’s with their mass market deployment as office PCs.

As for price, https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810143174659.html? I was looking at the barebones since the prices on DDR5 and NVME’s are nuts right now. I have spare NVME drives so all I would need is RAM and I can find it cheaper than the resellers who mark it up when they install it for you.

I have 2 of them with older 6 core CPUs and 32gb each. I also added a 10g SFP card in the PCIe slot so they would have a bit more umph.

For 380 each I would not bother, and I would look at the Minisforum MS-01 as it has built in dual 10g SFPs and dual 2.5g RJ45’s plus a PCIe slot.

at ~80 euro’s more you get more CPU, faster ram if you can find it, more storage, and more networking.

Trump & ICE killed “my mom” needs to be the only thing we chant until they all go to jail.

The iGPU on the Ryzen 9 HX AI 370 is reasonably capable.

I also have a minisforum v3 with a Ryzen 7 8840U and sufficient for on the go Indy games as well as older AAA.

Yep! I mixed it up with the new minisforum and Lenovo tiny PCs.

I have a AMD 370 AI based Framework 13 and its really dang good. They have Intel and ARM RISC V options on top of the AMD options. I will say AMD graphics are probably the best experience you can have in linux at the moment. Nvidia is making some gains, and Intel’s next generation may have a decent iGPU finally.

The larger Framework 16 has a modular GPU tray that gives you options on different GPUs. I have not personally used one of these but the 16 looks awesome other than its size/weight for my applications.

The new Dell XPS is probably another option.

Your budget may be a challenge right now since RAM prices have gone nuts. 32gb of DDR5 can cost $400us on its own.
