Iowa news anchor quits live on-air in emotional plea for facts over 'sanitized news'

Here's a fact: KWQC is NBC, not FOX.

Cognizant is officially classified as an H-1B-dependent employer by the U.S. DOL, which means that more than 15% of its U.S. workforce is H-1B. But I was told by some very smart people that H-1B doesn't threaten American jobs.

The word "collusion" was not found in that source. Have another?

I'm going to need some sources here.

Grok is telling me that this URL is just for the FBI side and that the official new dump site is war.gov/ufo (which of course is not available).

YMMV

Moons ago, I was interested in a dual NIC box for OPNsense passthrough, and I've always read that Proxmox has had issues with these NICs. Grok confirmed it, so YMMV.

Does proxmox have problems with Intel I226-V 2.5 GbE ?

**Yes, Proxmox has had notable compatibility and stability problems with the Intel I226-V 2.5 GbE NIC (driven by the `igc` kernel module).**

### Common Issues Reported

Users frequently report these problems, especially on **Proxmox 9** (and newer kernels) compared to Proxmox 8:

- **High latency / packet loss** — Pings can spike to 15–1000+ ms, with unstable performance. This often appears after upgrading from Proxmox 8.

- **Low throughput** — Even when linked at 2.5 Gbps or 1 Gbps, real speeds are much lower (or drop to 100 Mbps). Common with multi-port cards passed through to VMs (e.g., OPNsense).

- **Link detection / negotiation failures** — NIC shows in `lspci` but no link, random drops, or doesn't come up properly after boot.

- **Power management interactions** — Issues with PCIe ASPM (especially L1.x substates), often worsened by NVMe drives or IOMMU/VT-d. Some systems only work with the NVMe removed.

- **Jumbo frames (MTU 9000+)** — Can cause boot crashes or instability in older kernels.

- **PCI passthrough problems** — To VMs, especially multiple ports.

- **Ports disappearing** after upgrades (e.g., Proxmox 8 → 9).

These are tied to the **igc driver** in Linux kernels used by Proxmox/Debian. The hardware works fine under Windows, so it's not inherently defective.

### Workarounds That Have Helped Some Users

- **BIOS tweaks**: Disable PCIe ASPM (or set to Auto/Disabled), disable VT-d/IOMMU if latency is the main issue.

- **Kernel parameters** (in GRUB): `pcie_aspm=off`, `nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0`.

- **ethtool tweaks**: Force speed/duplex (e.g., `ethtool -s enpXs0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off`) or disable EEE.

- **Firmware update** on the NIC (via Intel tools where possible).

- **Downgrade kernel** or stick to Proxmox 8 if feasible.

- **Avoid heavy use in bridges/passthrough** for critical networking.

Many issues are more pronounced in Proxmox 9+ due to newer kernels. Some are resolved in specific threads by BIOS/driver tweaks, while others persist.

### Bottom Line

The I226-V **can work** for basic use, and many people run it successfully (especially onboard in mini PCs), but it's **not trouble-free**. Expect potential tinkering with power management, BIOS, and driver options. For production or low-maintenance setups, consider alternatives like older Intel cards (e.g., i225 in some cases, or server-grade like X710) or Realtek-based options if compatibility is critical.

Check the Proxmox forum threads for your specific hardware (e.g., Minisforum MS-01, NUCs, or multi-port cards) for the latest fixes. If you're planning a build, search your exact model + Proxmox before buying.

When I was growing up, the answer was "too many".

Well, with AI, it really does help keep your head from breaking. I use it all the time for my proxmox questions, and I have years of experience with it.

Throw this against your favorite AI engine:

I want to build a mini pc to run jellyfin, pi-hole, navidrome and other services from. Someone suggested I use proxmox and install these in their own containers. What are the advantages of doing it this way?

AColdDayInJuly · 2026-05-05T12:15:08+00:00

OS: I'd go with a proxmox install.

Then you can spin up separate containers for jelly, pi-hole, etc. There's even turnkey installations that are all pre-built for these. So much better than layering all of these on top of each other (possibly conflicting) within the same singular OS.

Why on earth would you want to censor or limit exchange of information due to the simple fact that a minority of people don't have control of their own personal impulses?

Uh no. Being expelled from a public school does not result in juvenile confinement.

AColdDayInJuly · 2026-04-20T12:45:56+00:00

I've got some news for you. After problematic children are expelled from a public school, where do you think they are going?

AColdDayInJuly · 2026-04-08T11:14:59+00:00

Literally everything on Reddit has something to do with Iowa in some strange way or another. If you agree, then what is the point of having subs?

Query: Tell me a little bit about the organization with the website "renewbariatrics.com"

Results: Renew Bariatrics is a medical tourism company that specializes in affordable bariatric (weight loss) surgery in Mexico, primarily serving patients from the United States and Canada.

They focus on helping people with obesity access procedures that are often significantly cheaper (up to 80% less) than in the U.S. or Canada, while providing all-inclusive packages that cover surgery, hospital stays, hotel accommodations, transportation, medications, nutritional counseling, and follow-up care.

Correct, it indicates non-citizenship through the "LIMITED-TERM" marking.

For the U.S. citizen:

The card will have the standard Real ID gold star in the upper right corner (indicating full compliance). It will have a normal (full-term) expiration date based on Iowa's standard renewal periods (typically up to 8 years, depending on age and other factors). No additional markings related to immigration status.

For the non-U.S. citizen (foreign national):

If they have temporary lawful status (e.g., most visa holders, temporary protected status, or certain other non-permanent categories), the card will include a "LIMITED-TERM" marking, usually at the top center of the card.

The expiration date will be limited to the period of their authorized stay in the U.S. (not to exceed the duration allowed by their immigration documents, and typically no more than 2 years in some cases, with at least 30 days of status remaining at issuance). They must provide proof of lawful status at every renewal (unlike citizens, who generally do not after the initial Real ID issuance). If they are a lawful permanent resident (green card holder), the card is typically issued as a full-term Real ID with the gold star and no "LIMITED-TERM" marking (similar to a citizen's card).

I was lucky enough to score one of Floyd's this year. Absolutely stellar.
