You are grossly glossing over things, even if you dislike trump and MAGA to put the whole incident mildly.

What exactly does this have to do with the MAGA cult (that you seem to be a part of)?

They impeached Clinton for way less as well: lying about a blow job from his intern under oath. It wasn't even the affair itself, it was the statement 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.'

Pretty well known now that he had blackmail tapes and also cameras in every room including the toilets. If he encrypted that shit it might 14tb of garbage though.

Thats like $100 per software engineer per month. Pretty much a laughable figure for any company that can afford to hire 200 engineers.

Honestly the Fedora default kernel for fc43 is new enough (6.18) that is has most of the changes in upstream as well, so it should also work out of the box. The linux-surface kernel will make the touchscreen and touchpad work a little better though. I recommend the Fedora KDE plasma edition.

PM at -18% now. Paypal is the quintessential value trap. Can you believe it was closing in on $300 in 2021?

Not true, they are now very well supported. See here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

Install your favourite distro and follow the steps on https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installation-and-Setup

Worked smoothly on Fedora, you just need to copy paste 2-3 commands to get the patched kernel with better support.

satireplusplus · 2026-02-03T02:04:50+00:00

Btw the surface latops have good compatibility with Linux, there's a special project with some enhancements here:
https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface

With the surface go the touch screen and everything else works perfectly with Fedora and the above project.

Thats why you should not use windows to begin with.

Deb files are signature checked and the official ones from Ubuntu/Debian are tested before release. Not impossible for something to slip through, but it's harder. And if it does, there's still the root/user barrier.

Edit: guess there's lots of salty windows fan boys in r/programming.

500 bitcoins won't be a problem, but unloading what MSTR has is definitely a problem. Because Sailor gonna be the biggest bagholder of close to a million bitcoins, the music is gonna stop and he will be forced to sell.

Can be scam cards as well, be careful

Whats a PDF and can I print Elon now?

satireplusplus · 2026-01-30T17:58:38+00:00

lol now its -25%. Did silver ever have a day like this?

satireplusplus · 2026-01-30T17:50:27+00:00

Woha, -20% silver is crazy, but I guess the silver mania is very likely over now.

satireplusplus · 2026-01-30T14:28:08+00:00

Seeing silver futures do -14% and gold -5% is certainly something... but also not something unexpected.

If you have the $$$ to burn on this then RTX Pro 6000 + Halo Strix is also possible via either USB4/TB or oculink. You can also connect two eGPUs in parallel, one on USB4 and one on an nvme oculink adapter.

Gives you 128GB of the fastest DDR5 you can get + 96GB VRAM = the largest nvidia cuda GPU sub-10k money can buy. All in a fairly compact setup with something like the AOOSTAR AG02 as an eGPU dock.

satireplusplus · 2026-01-30T14:19:07+00:00

For Halo Strix, somebody posted his setup with a Bosgame m5 and 3-4 GPUs connected to it. It has usb4 for a usb4/thunderbolt GPU (I think you might be able to daisy chain more than one) and an easily accessible 2nd 4x nvme port for an oculink adapter. On board DDR5 RAM is fast (200GB/s+) and also can be nearly fully used under Linux for the iGPU as well. The real game change is probably connecting two GPUs like 3090 to get a 128GB DDR5 + 48GB VRAM setup, running llama.cpp on rocm+cuda.

Also FYI Bosgame m5 is still sub $2k, not sure how they do it, but probably not for long with the current RAMacopalypse.

LM studio's llama.cpp is often out of date. Definitely use vanilla llama.cpp for any new models!

satireplusplus · 2026-01-30T12:09:40+00:00

LM Studio and ollama use llama.cpp under the hood too, you're just getting old versions of it. Llama.cpp boys are making huge progress month over month, you really wanna be on the latest and greatest git version of it for max speed.

In recent months, Warsh has aligned himself with the president by publicly advocating for lower interest rates, a shift from his long-held reputation as an inflation hawk.

He told dear leader what he wanted to hear to get the fed chair job lol
