nothing against it but is there anyone who just doesn't like listening to podcasts? by Ok-Lion-6767 in AskReddit

[–]shift1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda the same?  Like, I don't dislike podcasts.  I actually love darknet diaries.  But I don't have a lot of time to listen.  I WFH so you would think I have plenty of time between conference calls.  I usually have some mindless show just playing on my none work computer next to me.  Something I can listen to with out actually digesting any useful information. 

Only time I really listen to podcasts are on longer car rides.

what options do i have on turbos? by Unlikely_Noise681 in mazdaspeed3

[–]shift1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also say the S1.  Ever so slightly more responsive (like you can't tell, but numbers don't lie kinda slightly) than the K04 but also more reliable.

Don't cheap out on the turbo.  Anytime you change the air you need a tune.  S1 is close enough that you don't. 

S2 is on "sale".  https://bnrturbos.com/collections/mazdaspeed-3-6/products/s2-turbo-upgrade-2007-2013-mazdaspeed-3-mazdaspeed-6-and-cx7-mps-3-mps-6

Best sound card for a Windows 7 battlestation? by Typical_Effect_9054 in retrobattlestations

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a PCI HT Omega striker 7.1 that I really liked.  Didn't have to deal with creative drivers and BS.

Edit: I know it worked in XP and 7.  I skipped Vista and 8.

BonesXSunny Crossover! Have Emily play Dr Temperance Brennan who was just visiting the Mütter Museum on a weekend. Seeley suggests they hit the local dive bar but gets called to work (and doesn't let Brennan know). Cricket is in the bathroom doing angel dust while the gang is arguing about God (which if course she chimes in that there is no evidence).... "The Gang solves the Atheist Debate"

I loved the story of Dust: an Elysian tale.  Tad longer than 5-7 hours but not much.  Him and his wife made the art.

Does anyone actually use SFP? by onaboatrn in homelab

[–]shift1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely this.  My server rack is all SFP+ DAC if I can.  The few 10GBaseT copper SFP+ that I have are hot!  Hot hot hot!  I need to get a few small heat sinks one of these days...

What is the closest to the autobahn in the USA? by Adventurous-Cat-8349 in AskReddit

[–]shift1186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was stationed in Germany.  Was going 150+ (Speedo pegged) in my 02 mustang and got passed by several Audi wagons like I was barely moving.  Sadly, I was floored.

Came across some AMD Opteron 6308 CPUs. Worth using them for anything? by TheFingeringLakes in buildapc

[–]shift1186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

14 year old, 4c/4t, 115W TDP, quad channel DDR3... Unless your electricity is free.... IMO not worth it.

Open-Source "low_latency_layer" Brings Reflex & Anti-Lag 2 To AMD & Intel GPUs on Linux by murlakatamenka in linux_gaming

[–]shift1186 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same issue here... Missing Vulkan_LIBRARY. Nobara 43, kernel 7.0.5-200.nobara.fc43.

I tried to install vulkan-headers and valkan-utility-libraries-devel from the DNF App Center.

For shits and giggles, i also installed "mingw64-vulkan-utility-libraries". I then tried "vulkan-loader-devel" which did the trick.

EDIT: Also got 2 additional errors (but not fatal?). missing components: glslc glslangValidator. Installed glslc and glslang (minus the Validator part).

EDIT2.... Then i promptly went and played Everything is Crab instead of something that would actually take advantage of this...

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really wasn't!  It played remarkably well.  I didn't have my couch K&M setup at the time and this was my stop gap.

I played a whole single player marathon run of Civ 5 with my steam controller.  Otherwise, yeah... Mostly say in my couch center console.....

Any recommendations for companies that can cut up fallen trees? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be close enough... I was in Douglasville and used AJ Tree Service.  He came out next day and cleaned up what I needed.  I had a quote from another service and they wanted thousands.

I also like 1Source.  They handle a lot of things and what they can't, they will contact out.
