Thanks for the input. Yeah, my research has been more linux specific. My feeling was that Intel would perform well under linux, but browsing around most of what I’ve been finding are posts from a year ago, and nothing more current. I’m assuming that the cards (and more specifically driver support) would only get better in time (assuming it’s not the next optane… haha).

Yeah, I love the Hyve Zeus servers. I currently have three making up my proxmox cluster. They are great so long as you have another system for storage, as they only fit 2x 2.5" drives otherwise. I have my cluster linked to an SSD pool on trunas via 10gb for all my vm’s.

As for the GPU - Yeah, it’s too long because of the cooler. It’s possible I could get an alternative cooler, and it’s something I could look at. Although the server I bought for it has already been sent back since the gpu didn’t fit.

The NUC isn’t a bad idea, but I got a good deal on the P2000 and was hoping to utilize that. I recently started hosting plex for my in-laws, and want to get our daughter setup with an account with her going off to college. My current plex setup works fine, but as I’m adding people accessing it remotely, I just figured it would be nice to put the P2000 into play.

Short and sweet!

This news bums me out though. I generally like Noah. He’s had arguably the worst rookie season of any driver I can remember… and now this?! With rumors already swirling that JHN was possibly in line to take his job already, Noah has certainly not done himself any favors.

Looks like Noah liked a social media post, specifically a meme about George Floyd. I’m not posting the meme here… you can go find it if you want.

EDIT: Per Jeff Gluck, NASCAR has suspended Noah indefinitely.

Found this one.

Omg… I’m a dummy. Thank you, stranger!

OK… I guess I’m an idiot… Where is the pre-reg on the playstore?

As a diehard Jimmie fan… I’m excited, but not. I hope he’s not going to be competing for 25th place week in and week out.

If he’s competitive though, Ohhh Man, I’m here for it!!!

My buddy at work and I have been BEGGING for timelord to develop a mid range jumper, or even work on being a threat from three. This could have a massive impact I feel like.

I’m here for it! Let’s GOOOO!!!

I was equally as surprised. I watched Eric’s video (Out of the Groove) and he brings up an interesting snip-it in regards to Haley’s uncle owning a charter. Curious if RWR /RFK are gaining said charter? If so, does Kaulig go down to being a single car team next year?

I agree, it’s nice to see some guys finish towards the front who typically don’t. It’s good for their program, and it’s cool to see some different guys!

Yeah, his wins aren’t flashy, but his season overall is going well. 4 wins, with 8 tops 5’s and 11 top 10’s is pretty good so far! Average finish of 11.42 thus far.

I think your thinking of a different event, but as a NH resident, I personally am OK with the fact that they waited it out.

I personally thought the race was good!! I felt bad with all the rain and assumed turnout would be trash there… But on TV it didn’t look bad! I think the rain added nice drama, and the product overall was really good! I’d hope for a second race in Chicago.

I personally found my self at one point watching SVG’s onboard feed on YouTube and thought to myself, “Damn! It’s pretty damn cool seeing the skyline right there through the whole race”

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.

Keep reading about Nix. I need to setup a vm and play with it I think. From what I’ve seen, the concept looks pretty cool.

I’m stoked for this race! I think the idea is cool, and I hope it works out! I heard on (I think it was) Denny’s podcast that some extremely high percentage of ticket sales for this Chicago race are for first timers. That’s good! New exposure is a good thing.

I’m mildly bummed at the drivers reactions to it thus far. When they’ve been asked, no one has seemed excited. Infact, most have said they’ve not done (at least prior to this week) any Sim time getting used to the layout. Maybe that’s common? I don’t know… But I would have thought for sure that a teams and drivers would want to be the first to win it…or…potentially…the only ones to ever win a street course.

Regardless. I’m hoping for a good show, and I hope drivers find they like it.

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.

Switched to Lemmy, here. Just waiting on sync for Lemmy, and I’ll be golden!!

Yeah! So unexpected. I mean… I obviously don’t know the people, but man… Just didn’t expect to be reading that news!
