Do you have trouble explaining your job to people?
  • My experience is that it almost always does what I ask. The problem is that some times I don't ask it to do what I want it to do in the exact way it will understand.

    TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females
  • Does this mean the visual center is 25% larger or that the configuration of cells is different? If it is larger where are are women's brains larger then men's brains?

    About to turn 30 and dreading my party (kinda). Anyone else over their birthdays but get FOMO for parties?
  • Remove the birthday aspect and think about what sounds enjoyable. Maybe you start with a night out with your SO. Ok, does adding more people sound better, about the same, worse?

    I think you are mixing a party for other people and a party for yourself. Both are fine, but they may not be compatible with each other.

    Intel’s big turnaround plan is now looking very expensive and poorly timed
  • The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm's ARM laptops. But it doesn't seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.

    How has technology made your favorite hobby worse instead of better?
  • I just wish I could but a fucking service manual. Seems like like the only way is to get access to a digital copy through a subscription service. I don't need service manuals for every car made, just mine.

    NAS / NAS + server? Unraid, Proxmox, Intel, AMD? Looking for guidance.
  • What my setup will soon be for hardware: Gen 2 AMD epic 16 core CPU, Supermicro motherboard with lots of pcie slots, 128g ram, Intel arc a40 GPU, HBA card attached to a super micro disk shelf

    Software: Proxmox for host is, Truenas Scale (just NAS) in VM with HBA card passed into VM, Plex in VM with Intel GPU passed in, 3 VMs for docker swarm (headless Debian)

    Other thoughts: Cloud flare will only be helpful for things you want exposed to the internet. If you do that make sure you have a reverse proxy. This is how I expose services for non-tech family.

    VPN will be more secure, but can also be more of a pain. I generally only do that for things only I need or only techy savvy people will use.

    Bought a new pc about a week ago and I'm so happy to run newer games
  • It may be more productive to layout an example of how you could make a better build with the same budget. Your critique may be accurate, but it doesn't really help them build a better system next time.

    Is It Worthwhile to Serve Video off a Server separate from my NAS?
  • Your biggest potential bottle neck is if your NAS and App server only have a single 1g network port. This may not be a problem depending on your usage, but it is a important consideration to keep in mind.

    What is this community's view on self-medicating?
  • It depends on what your doing. Caffeine, exercise, diet, and sleep are all reasonable. But if your using stronger drugs without doctor supervision, that's a bad idea.
