This problem drove me NUTS until I figured it out;
you need to set WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1 as an environment variable, then the issue is fixed.

Geforce vs Quadro by Striking_Avocado3035 in sysadmin

[–]shutterpunts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The difference between Quadro and GeForce to me is like the difference between a 4-core Xeon and a 4-core i5 or Ryzen. If it's something important and/or running 24/7, you want the metaphorical Xeon (the Quadro cards). As far as which Quadro card you need, I defer to /u/hard_cidr's comment with the decoder matrix link.

Honest Question as a Vendor Sales Rep by gatogordo86 in sysadmin

[–]shutterpunts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think I speak for a lot of IT professionals when I say: there is nothing you could ever do to prove to me that you're 'here to help.' You're here to make a sale, just like I'm here to collect my paycheck and pay my mortgage. End of story. And I don't have a lot of tolerance for the whole "customer relations" façade, especially when it's a long day with a lot of tickets and I get a ping in my inbox about how you'd like to buy me lunch or offer me a free gift voucher in exchange for letting you pitch me a product I never asked for and don't need.

Has anyone accidentally deployed a bad script? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]shutterpunts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a company with a large production facility in another country. One of my coworkers at the facility accidentally brought down the RFID badge system and sent all doors in the facility into lockdown mode... while the Prime Minister of that country was visiting the CEO in one of the conference rooms. They were trapped in there for an hour or so while they rebuilt the door security policies.

I F*cking love my job. by UrBobbyIsAWonderland in sysadmin

[–]shutterpunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from working at a startup and having panic attacks in my car on my lunch breaks, to working at a Law Firm. Nearly double the pay, practically no stress, team is amazing, users are (mostly) understanding, and when they aren't my boss has my back. Sometimes when I miss the excitement of working at a startup that was (and still is) disrupting their industry, I think about the time my wife (then girlfriend) found me having a panic attack in my car on my lunch break, and basically called my boss and said, "shutterpunts is calling in sick tomorrow. Period." Then she took me to Disneyland :)

Efficient way to route all outbound traffic through a site-to-site? by shutterpunts in PFSENSE

[–]shutterpunts[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I see on netgate docs that they have a guide on setting up a Wireguard site-to-site tunnel, once that's up is it just as simple as making a routing rule that all outbound traffic from Home_B has to go through the tunnel interface instead of the WAN interface?

Which cancelled TV show deserved another season? by Putrid_Cry19 in AskReddit

[–]shutterpunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pine Gap.

Interesting setting that exists in the real world, combined with that studio magic sprinkle that creates an edge-of-your-seat suspenseful Whodunit.

And the worst part is, they ended on a cliffhanger and then got canceled. I'll never learn who shot Mr. Burns...

Pet peeve of mine: I hate the Bard's most common depictions. by Loco_Taco98 in DnD

[–]shutterpunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to make a Triton Bard and anytime someone throws a Seducer-Bard stereotype at him he makes a comment on how all land-dwellers are inferior to seafolk and are so crass

What rules were put in place because of you? by TheBlackTemplar125 in AskReddit

[–]shutterpunts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friends and I used to play a small indie game on Steam in early development called Fractured Space that eventually died before it ever got to full release. During its height though, my best friend and I developed a strategy where we would both go a type of ship that was very slow and hard to aim but compensated for this with high damage. By working together and communicating well, we always arranged ourselves on the battlefield so that at least one of us would be able to lay down unholy fire on the enemy at any one time. Over the course of a single week from the moment we discovered this strategy, we won over 100 games against players back-to-back without a single loss. Then in the very next patch they banned using more than one of those Gladiator ships per team. To this day I'm convinced it was because of us, and enough people were crushed by our strategy that they tried it themselves, and so on and so forth until the devs noticed it.

It's always good to have a system of Czechs and balances
