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

Poorly

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!

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.

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.

cannot find good shit like this in the Southern US… Everything is soft sweet and hardly any actual flavor

I still run Manjaro on almost everything I own that games, even casually.
