Basically, just like the title says. I've had my 1080ti since launch. It is without question the single greatest PC component I've ever bought, but my computer usage has changed. I don't really game anymore, and if I do, it's generally on my Xbox. I run linux exclusively and generally speaking I stick with OpenSuse Tumbleweed or NixOS. While the 1080ti performs perfectly fine for me, I'm just tired of dealing with Nvidia drivers breaking things from time to time when updating. Machine specs are as follows;

Mobo: X570 I AORUS PRO WIFI CPU: Ryzen 3900X RAM: 32gb Gskill Trident Monitors: Dual Dell S2417DG (1440p, 144hz) Case: Fractal Design Pop Mini Silent

Again, I don't really game on my PC anymore, and I spend most of my time in Freecad and Kdenlive. If I'm going to replace my 1080ti I want to make sure that I'm still upgrading. If I decided 6 months from now I want to play something on PC, I'd still like the ability with "decent" graphics.

I've been looking at the Arc A770, but a lot of the things I'm reading are a year old and saying things like; "It performs well, but beware of driver issues", or "Most things are working, but it's still got a ways to go". I'm just wondering if a year later things have gotten better?

If the A770 isn't really "ready" yet, I'm fine with AMD also. Just wondering what card people would suggest.

My budget is probably in the $250 - $350 range. I could probably stretch to $400 if I really needed to, but I'd like not to.

 

Hey all, just wondering what others are using for a rack mount server option. I don't want to break the bank, and I have a P2000 I plan to use for transcoding. I had picked up a Hyze Zeus server, but unfortunately, the GPU won't fit in that box. I plan to have this machine dedicated to Plex. All of my data will be stored on my trunas server and server up to plex via NFS shares, so the server doesn't need much storage capacity. I would prefer the server to be a 1u rack mount... but if 2u is going to offer the best option, I will settle for 2u.

Omg... I'm a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

OK... I guess I'm an idiot... Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

My first printer was a creality cr6 (kickstarter edition), and it's been absolutely fantastic. I use my printer to solve problems mostly by designing my own parts for things. My printers really are tools to me. My cr6 doesn't get used a lot, but I turn it on, run the auto level, and hit print. I've printed roughly 2000 hours with it, and I've had one jam, and zero failed prints (I've stopped a couple for various reasons, but I've never walked in to find a spaghetti mess). I upgraded to the community firmware, a dual drive extruder, and capricorn. Also, I print almost exclusively in PLA.

My second printer is a kingroon kp3s. I've printed very few parts with it. I got it as a toy, and plan to install klipper and just be able to print fast. I like the small for factor, direct drive, and linear rails. It's a decent printer, but it's not as "easy" as my cr6 (no ABL, and my bed seems to have a high spot right in the middle). The prints I've printed for testing are small, and the quality has been really good. I just haven't had a lot of time to play with it and really dial it in.

All this said... I'd by a mk4 in a split second for my use case. Again, as a tool that I turn on every few months, prusa is a known workhorse. My only complaint with my cr6 is it's slow... And the mk4 would take care of that.

I echo these exact thought, except it was sync for me. Without question the most used app, always first to be installed a new phone, and had the designated spot on the home screen.

Makes me sad where things are going.

I'm currently running pfsense, and then mikrotik and ubiquiti switched and ubiquiti AP's. I'm slowly removing the ubiquiti switches and moving to mikrotik as I'm upgrading to 10gbe. Mikrotik switches have a reputation of being reliable, capable, and cheap-ish. So far I like them. While I love ubiquiti's single pane of glass approach with the unifi controller, I wanted to get away from that a bit. I work in IT, and most things I encounter don't have that... And are configured via cli and or web interface. When I built my home network I jumped into ubiquiti for the ease. Now I'm back tracking for more learning.

Random question... I dumped reddit and jumped on to Lemmy. But I keep seeing things about mastadon and kbin also. What the difference between all of them? Are they all federated and sharing the same servers?

At that depth, I feel like creaking and cracking is probably common. However, I don't think there would be any spraying as an indicator. Based on this tweet I saw earlier.

Incase anyone is wondering... Little clip of an implosion

RIP to those who parished. I think most can take solace knowing that if it turns out to be true that it was an implosion, it would have been instant, and the occupants likely felt nothing. .

Yeah... Unreal. Crazy to think you could have resurfaced... But still suffocate to death.

I'm using Tumbleweed on various desktops, but I also use Leap. I use Leap on a couple different apple machines that I have, as leap seems to play better with Apple wireless adapters (stupid Broadcom adapters).

Either way, both work well but I do prefer tumbleweed.

I think it's as equally important to remember; A backup is not back up... Until you've restored from it.

Test your backups, folks.

Couldn't agree more!! I'd absolutely love to have sync back!
