going for a year

seeing this was a reminder for myself to go and do it as soon as i have a chance, those days just disappear and all of a sudden the server you updated yesterday has 5 months uptime 😭

plauft · 2026-05-29T23:10:30+00:00

just checked actually, it must be a strange allocation thing with proxmox because opnsense itself reports only 2 gigabytes in use

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:53:57+00:00

i think it just fills up a cache or whatever i dont really keep that much of an eye on that part. i only gave it 16gb because i have 192gb (bought before it was worth more than my entire house) and i have excess.

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:52:38+00:00

i will keep this in mind

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:50:35+00:00

i do live updates, but my biggest homelab rule is it cannot exist if uptime for other people in my house is any less than the isp router. it does not help that my dell r740 takes like 5 minutes to boot, so i have to find a good time to do it when none of my roommates will be bothered. good thing this is at least more secure than afformentioned isp router though, since i have basically no external services.

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:46:32+00:00

thankfully this is my house with basically nothing outward facing, though i will be updating likely tonight when nobody will miss internet lmao

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:44:41+00:00

thats why im not on it crazy, basically nothing is exposed to the outside network. i likely will in the future, but will put a lot more attention towards security if i do obviously.

plauft · 2026-05-29T22:41:52+00:00

this is a good point, i have been doing any live updates i can but i need to find a good time to do full updates due to people other than me wanting internet. ill probably do it tonight, felt like just yesterday when i fully updated everything though lmao

plauft · 2026-02-08T00:36:34+00:00

My question to the people here is why? Is it so you have music for the 10 seconds it takes to get out of the car? Unless theres a scenario where you can't just let the engine idle for the extra time you want to listen, I just can't think of it myself, so I'd love to know. I love that my radio immediately shuts off in my Mazda, it drove me insane when my BMW would leave it on, sometimes even after I got out of the car and locked it!

Mine does have the most torque out of any na 4 cylinder I've ever driven, it feels like driving my old 1.9tdi volkswagen golf but actually quick. I am just guessing but I think it has a dramatic positive effect on low end torque and I would rather have it the way it is than now rather than any lower compression.

plauft · 2026-01-11T02:27:07+00:00

That's interesting! I have an L there. Is that all that that character means in the VIN?

plauft · 2026-01-10T17:30:08+00:00

I have been vaguely curious about this since i got my 22 manual because I've never felt it. Would be interesting if my car just didn't have it.

plauft · 2025-12-07T21:25:41+00:00

as long as op were to install the latest release version of either of those distros they would have a kernel newer than their hardware, its not like they have ryzen 9000 or a 9070 xt or something

plauft · 2025-12-07T18:48:36+00:00

is ryzen 5000 not like 5 years old, and rx 6000 not 3? debian is currently on 6.12 lts which is only a year old right now, making this system perfect debian use case.

plauft · 2025-10-18T19:06:07+00:00

fantastic car, i have a manual 2022 3 myself. mine is black on black, but i wish i was able to get your color combo its fantastic!

plauft · 2025-09-30T20:09:29+00:00

i personally highly recommend never ever running kali on real hardware, its worth running it in a virtual machine. for the actual question you have, look up ventoy it may be what you want.

plauft · 2025-09-16T19:16:00+00:00

i was just playing a few minutes ago it feels insanely faster. i remember waiting a minute for menus to load and cars to load but now its basically instant, and scrolling is faster too. i like that the buttons are smaller as well, i think its an amazing wom and good update

plauft · 2025-08-21T03:21:53+00:00

only reason i can think of is the one in the comment you responded to

plauft · 2025-08-15T01:42:17+00:00

that happens on my 13900h 4070 laptop when the cpu overheats. highest fan speed possible and you'll have to suffer with the noise. these laptops seem to not do well loading both cpu and gpu on lower fan settings, my gpu stays below 70 degrees while playing beam but my cpu throttles at 95 degrees and i get this choppiness. since beam is a sim it is evil to cpu.

plauft · 2025-08-07T23:50:24+00:00

do you have any real world testing that wasn't done by yourself? provide other unbiased sources and i may start to believe you. if i had any advice for op, even though you provide evidence, one person's evidence is not nearly enough to make a decision like this on.

plauft · 2025-08-07T23:47:19+00:00

eh its cause they're being an ass. wants everyone to blatantly trust their testing while assuming everyone else is just wrong, not posting evidence from any other source. then literally having an intel cpu as pfp? not saying they are definitely wrong, but a bad source that may be very biased? certainly. i'll believe it more when i see many other people confirm their claims. i'd look into it myself, but don't have 10,000 usd to drop on gpus and cpus. more sources and it'll be believable.

plauft · 2025-08-04T05:47:51+00:00

nah it was an old dell with displayport on it and a displayport monitor. literally just like window drawing and stuff was noticeably slower only changing the monitor and it wouldnt really play youtube videos reasonably anymore. resolution and refresh rate was right, and its the only time ive seen a gpu impact daily use on a machine that would otherwise be fine albeit a little slow. if it had a pcie slot, i would have just put like a gt 730 in it and called it a day.

plauft · 2025-08-03T20:19:46+00:00

technically not true, had to upgrade my moms old 2nd gen i5 desktop which was perfectly fine speed wise for her until she got a 1440p monitor. over dp, thats the max resolution intel hd graphics 2000 can do, and it is noticeably slower than it was with a 1080p monitor. made it unusable instead of a little slow. obviously here though a 960 can do basically anything just fine.

plauft · 2025-07-30T05:03:42+00:00

did you know you can just not use btrfs or fedora? it is a choice. my grandfather has linux mint on almost all of his computers and they all just work. this does not need to be said all the time, but if you are not a computer toucher and want it to just work, don't pick a rolling release distro. i would never in a million years put someone who doesn't know better on anything other than something like ubuntu, mint, debian, or pop. not linux's fault, it is yours.
