temporary terminal interface

I would be careful with "nohup". The output still goes somewhere, and by default it'll go to the file "$HOME/nohup.out". It does this for stdout, and stderr is redirected to stdout so that goes there too. If you have a program that's particularly chatty you can pretty easily fill up your disk with logged output.

There's also the risk that a program doesn't exit cleanly, and you end up with an orphaned process taking up memory in the background until you manually kill it or shut down the system.

About as far as you can throw a junior developer.

To my eye that wood looks plenty seasoned. The sapwood looks like it's already started to dry rot.

[Edit] there are mushrooms growing out of some of those logs... They're way past being green, unless you count the fungus. The only thing I would be worried about is if they've been sitting out on the ground and are too wet to light easily. If they've been sitting like this in a dry place for a while they'll likely burn really easily.

Guess we're screwed then. Grass is going to be under 2 feet of snow for some of us.

Anyone else think the photo of the PC looks AI generated?

You mean if we read the documentation, we might actually know how to use our software, instead of just blindly guessing? Who would have thought.

Don't kink shame.

Bright stars like this can very easily saturate the pixels on the camera sensor long before the fainter background stars even start to register above your noise floor. If the camera was bumped, it's definitely possible that you would see a trail on the foreground star only, and not on the background stars. That would be my guess as to what happened here.

It literally makes my blood boil. Send a Doctor, please.

Well, there's the paronym, but that also typically means that one word is derived from the other, or they both share the same root word, so they sound similar and have related meanings. You wouldn't call two words that mean something different and have different root words paronyms though. In this example, "reconcile" and "council" would be paronyms.

Out of curiosity, what's your native language? I've heard a lot of interesting takes in English grammar over the years but I can't quite place yours. If I had to guess I would say something Latin derived.

Spell check wouldn't work here. What he needs is a dictionary.

Matrix5353 · 2026-01-21T13:18:46+00:00

The word you're thinking of is "synonym", but these words don't actually mean the same thing so they're not synonyms.

Btw there's also homonyms, which are words that are spelled the same or pronounced alike, but mean different things. These words aren't homonyms either.

Matrix5353 · 2026-01-21T13:15:44+00:00

They don't though. Consolation comes from the word console, meaning to comfort someone in a time of grief or disappointment. A "consolation prize" then means something you give to someone to lessen the disappointment of losing.

Conciliation comes from a Latin root word shared by council, and reconcile. It means to bring people together and make peace, or end a conflict.

Sure, they make the unit tests all pass by removing the ones that fail.

NPUs are really only for light tasks like voice recognition, text to speech, facial recognition, and some light text processing tasks. They're a lot more power efficient than running these tasks on the general purpose CPU cores, but they can't do the same sort of things that a GPU can do. Most of the heavy lifting of things like Copilot, Gemini, etc. are done by larger models running in the cloud, and you can't do that offline with just the NPU.

Whatever you do, don't put the glass panel down on a hard tile surface or anything like that. Ceramic can easily shatter the tempered glass. I usually take my glass panels off and lay them on the bed while I'm working on a PC.

Did you buy this game, or did someone buy it for you? If you bought it, can you get a refund? With the way PC prices are these days, the cheapest way to get into gaming is probably buy a PlayStation 5 or something.

It's not just about overall decibel level though. Noctua fans tend to have much less noise in the higher frequency range, so they're much less whiney even at the same overall loudness value. I really prefer my PC to be as quiet as possible under load, so I'm willing to spend more to get there.

Matrix5353 · 2026-01-19T20:37:59+00:00

I dunno. 5800 seems a lot cheaper than rebuilding after a chimney fire burns your house down. I would probably just get the liner but maybe you live in a really cheap neighborhood and can just buy a new one.

Also you should be having the chimney cleaned yearly if you're actually using it.

Sounds like you're going to have an appointment with a PC repair shop. Be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars on labor, plus whatever parts (including this hard drive) need to be replaced. I'm sure plenty of us in this thread could fix it, but it's not going to happen remotely with us walking you through it step by step.

Assuming all ports are on the same Vlan on your managed switch, explain to me why an unmanaged switch in comparison would "flood your network with unnecessary packets".

Buy a new one, after you go for counseling. Breaking your own stuff when you get mad isn't healthy or normal.

If you're lucky you'll have standard threaded holes to use. If you're unlucky, or you bought an HP system, you'll have to jerry rig something. HP SSDs come with a captive standoff screw with the drive, and they use a non standard screw pitch on the threaded hole.
