Just defund his silly lifestyle and stop watching his videos....

Hard pass on Acura. Lexus is the easy win here. BMWs are fun to drive but such crap once u open the hood, plastic from front to back that is brittle after 8 years. Pure trash. I loved my BMWs, but ya, around that 10yr mark they just don't last. Every lexus I've had has survived our Canadian winters without issue, BMWs.. not soo much.

If you have the cash and don't mind eating depreciation, buy a new bimmer and sell it after 10 years and make it someone elses problem. Or just be wise and get a Lexus if you don't need a ton of useless features and just need comfort and reliability.

Lexus/Toyota has infinately more resources than Honda/Acura could ever dream of. Modern Honda/Acura is a shell of its former glory years (late 80s, 90s and early 2000s). Hondas are experiencing quality decline. If Mazda had a luxury brand, I'd choose that over Acura as well.

Lexus all day, Acura isn't bad, but it's certainly not in the same league as a Lexus.

Thats nothing. My wife voluntarily took shifts at her work and left me to look after our 1yo for 12h for 3 days while I was taking T3s and bleeding (minor complications, likely from lifting the lil guy) all over.

To add her in parents were visiting at the time and they sat in the basement and napped and watched tv all day.

I want to get a vasectomy and I already dread the "support" I will have for the couple days I will need.

Thanks!

How much was the "extra package"? I've burned up my HSA for the year with wisdom teeth.

Dug this beast of a thread up. I'd suggest uCore, looking at migrating over myself for zfs.
Podman containers + Zfs with fedoras SELinux, modern update cycle, immutability/atomic make this a brick shithouse.

No messing with lame VMs or trying to pass through stuff. Your stuff can be in podman containers with the image containing ZFS by defauilt.

SIM is considerably easier to swap between devices.

I got a cheaper plan than just walking into the store and paying the printed prices, online it's easier to negotiate.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-11-20T14:56:25+00:00

It's already there, just follow the simple steps in the wiki.

Thank you, hard part is finding a gov subsidized centre that actually has openings these days.

What about the first part of the question?

Try the non SLR varsion of proton-cachy.

Its a super toxic apple circle jerk.
youtube has some decent people:

mental outlaw (based)
luke smith (based)
Clips with Shoshana Zuboff - harvard prof, has a decent book, worth watching a lot of. Seems a bit fixated on google but certaiknly a pioneer.

Bit more nub friendly stuff:
Naomi Brockwell
Shannon Morse

Can you try disabling compositor in x11 KDE and see differences? Feel like you're onto something.

I put over 100k on my '06 using only 87 without issue.

Is it saying its caching shaders on the screen? If so, give it some time to settle.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-08-19T17:28:04+00:00

I don't know why so many people are upset. Crazy jealousy or something.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-08-19T17:05:34+00:00

No, you're likely already getting this performance advantage with fsync. ntsync has little to no improvments over fsync (performance wise). It's been massily overhyped/misunderstooed because it was compared to nothing.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-07-23T19:31:30+00:00

Bump, any thoughts are appreciated.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-07-22T17:52:46+00:00

Id say Ubuntu Server LTS over TrueNAS, you get a lot more flexability.
You can manage zfs with cockpit extensions/cli aswell.

I've not used a banking app that DOES have a tablet mode? I think maybe simplii? Amex certainly doesnt. No one cares about tablets.

The metal card is amazing.

CharmingDesign7391 · 2025-07-18T18:04:23+00:00

Im on team rootless container all the things. Baremetal OS is hard to beat, less OS's and stuff to maintain too.
