Maybe someone here can advise. I ran two of the available "checking" scripts to see if I have any packages installed. Both came up with 1 package I have installed. It is gtkimageview, which is on the list.

However, if I look through the pacman.log I see it was installed on 2024-10 and last upgraded 2025-01. It seems to me that suggests I installed it before this all started, so I'm probably not infected?

I latent agree with that for all of his books, except for the Dark Tower series. I actually think the Dark Tower series is pretty good. It's very different from his other books though.

The cake version slaps hard. I love it

A toilet that is installed improperly and is on unlevell ground and wobbles or if the screws get even a little loose and the toilet wobbles every time you sit down, then it will end up with the leaky wax seal.

I agree this is not really "willy nilly", There is a clear sign of something wrong with the wobble. But a lot of people just aren't taught this stuff throughout their lives so they don't know that that's a problem. So then you end up with people sitting on a wobbly toilet for years and then the wax seal moves and starts to leak.

Uncaulked is the way to go. If you do maintenance and keep everything around it clean. At least where I'm currently living in the U.S. that seems to be the standard. I have seen other countries where the toilet and shower are all together and they just shower and spray down next to the toilet. I don't know about caulking there.

I have also seen the caulk around that leave the back open as well. That probably also works. Check code is most important, but I personally prefer no caulk look

I really really hope this is the case. The thing that probably drives me nuts the most right now is rebooting and having to reorganize windows across two monitors and six desktops.

Spam. When it comes out of the can, it looks like a disgusting gelatinous blob. But when you cut it thin and pan fry it, it's actually pretty tasty.Pretty much any canned meat. Ever seen a whole canned chicken? Although most canned meat doesn't taste nearly as good as fresh. But there really isn't a "fresh" spam. So I think it fits the question. https://c8.alamy.com/comp/CW0NEJ/luncheon-meat-on-plate-CW0NEJ.jpg

It's been a while since I've used TrueCrypt because I switched over to Linux and used Luks. But I thought everyone had moved to Vera Crypt. Is that no longer the case? Just curious, Since I haven't read much about that world for many years.

Mormons believe that their children are pre-selected in the pre-earth life, so the children chose to come to that family in their theology.

Any chance you'd be willing to share some of those configurations? Especially the wireguard one. For some reason I have the hardest time getting something working to connect to wire guard using tasker when I leave home.

The others I'd love to see and learn from also if you'd be willing to share. Thanks!

This one takes the cake for me. Can you imagine a baby growing up 24-7 surrounded by muppets and knows literally nothing else? That's wild.

Wait, are lions part of the nativity? I don't think I knew that

I haven't looked extensively, but for the past ten minutes I've not been able to find any article. About 20 different news stories to say the same thing, but none of them actually link a peer reviewed published article.

 

I have steam up and running on my main daily driver ( currently endeavour OS, but I also have a dual boot to a Windows with steam also working if needed, but just about everything I'm playing lately is working great on Linux).

I have a TV connected to a older HP PC that acts as my media center. It runs Kodi on Linux mint. Both computers are wired ethernet connected. Is there a way I can stream/play games from my daily driver to my computer that's connected to the TV? Is there a Kodi add-on I could use? Do I just need to install steam on my Linux mint? I don't have a steam link device. I did some brief reading on steam remote play and it looks like that's more designed to share with others not just stream from my own account to another computer.

Currently My daily driver is actually close enough to my TV that I could even have a keyboard/controller connected to the daily driver and just stream the video if that was better. But in the future I may want to rearrange rooms, so ideally I guess it would be best to have the controller through my HTPC as well.

Any advice on how to best approach this?

new GPU advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by zipkag@lemmy.world to c/buildapc@lemmy.world
 

Sadly, my 980 TI just blew up. I took it apart and I think it's one of the VRAM has totally burned out, there's a big old black mark and burning smells. So unfortunately I need a new GPU.

I've always had NVIDIA in the past, but I'm willing to do AMD. I principally run Linux, but do dual boot for some Windows gaming. I do need VR support for my index. I've never done ray tracing, think it might be fun to try but not necessary.

It's been a long time since I bought a GPU, so I'm not super up to date on everything right now, so I'm hoping for some advice. I was hoping to wait another year or two before upgrading, but I guess I need something now. I have a 6700k processor on Asus Maximus hero viii.

Honestly I probably just want to replace something roughly compatible to what I had, but maybe it is time to just upgrade to something much better. Usually I try to buy a decent GPU so it can last for many years instead of frequently upgrading. So I'm torn if I should just get something old and uses that would work for a year or two, or if I should now just bite the bullet and buy a upper mid to lower top tier GPU now. If I had to I could stretch a budget into the 1500 usd range, but it really bothers me that cards have been getting getting that expensive so I would prefer to keep it down more in 200-800 range. I have 1440p monitor, but I'm also ok with 1080 gaming.

I'd appreciate any thoughts, or advice from those more up-to-date on recent GPUs. Thanks
