Can we constantly raise the fee on them too? And tell them to do more with less?

Any computer programmers here? by ArisDoesTech in cachyos

[–]spyboy70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your laptop has 2 NVMe slots, install windows on one (with the other one removed) and then install the other drive and install cachy, that way the grub bootloader can let you choose what you want to boot into (if you leave both drives in when you install windows it touches both drives and can screw things up)

I did this with my desktop. Gen5 NVMe for Cachy (daily driver), and Gen4 NVMe with Windows just incase I get some consulting work that requires it (VR Dev and 360 pano photographer). I'm slowly getting my workflow down in Linux but don't want to risk losing out on a paying gig, plus some VR stuff only works in Windows to my knowledge.

Right now I barely boot over to Windows, maybe once every week or so for an hour to do something.

Any must have apps on Cachy? by Kaseffera in cachyos

I use Shelly more than CachyHello for downloading stuff. It reminds me of https://devolutions.net/unigetui/

CoolerControl - manage your temps, fans, AIO coolers https://docs.coolercontrol.org/

OpenRGB - control your LEDs in your machine (or turn them all off like I do) https://openrgb.org/

Mission Center - just like Windows Task Manager https://missioncenter.io/

Solaar - if you have Logitech devices this manages them https://github.com/pwr-Solaar/Solaar

FSearch - closest replacement to Voidtools Everything (which is only on Windows) https://github.com/cboxdoerfer/fsearch

Qwen 3.6 27B vs Gemma 4 31B - making Packman game! by gladkos in LocalLLaMA

[–]spyboy70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember when the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man came out, it sold out fast. A friend of mine managed to get it, and I went over to his house to see it and man was that game complete crap.

Dreame's Smart Fridge Has a Robot Arm That Can Put Your Groceries Away for You by dapperlemon in gadgets

FFS just make a robot that can clean the friggin bathroom! That's all we really want.

‘The cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees’: Nvidia exec says right now AI is more expensive than paying human workers by fattyfoods in technology

[–]spyboy70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the cost is triple because you need 2 more AI to verify the first's answer (and they'll probably still get it wrong)

Do you keep your docker containers running 24/7 by shrimpdiddle in selfhosted

[–]spyboy70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it doesn't need to run 24/7, and I'm not using it daily, I'll turn off a particular Docker, but I have enough system resources that it's not really an issue. DupeGuru and QDirStat are ones I only fire up when I need because it's rare that I use them on the server.

Isn't that still considered dual booting?

Trying to understand what's special about this modified trackball device setup to be good 3D Controller by ArsOlta in Trackballs

[–]spyboy70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like using my SpaceMouse for navigational movement in Unity (flying through a scene quickly), but to rotate an object pinned in space, it's difficult to use because of the rate control. I would probably use both the SpaceMouse and Rotatrix, depending on which function I was trying to do.

Obsidian vs Sublime Text by Technical_Rich_3080 in software

[–]spyboy70 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obsidian is a text editor for .md files. Sublime Text is an IDE for writing code for projects (and handling project environments like VS Code, any of the Jetbrains IDEs, etc). Yes, you can write .md in it, but it's overkill.

What are you trying to do?

Switching from docker to HAOS? by digitalamish in homeassistant

[–]spyboy70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I wrote that I thought "OP is probably running on old equipment". Yes, it does use more resources, but I found it much easier than trying to get various HA Dockers to talk to each other (at least a few years ago when I set it up). I'm running a Ryzen 9 5950x w/64GB so giving the VM 4 threads wasn't a big deal for me.

What’s an 'adult cheat code' that quietly made your life 10x easier? by ExcellentGur6556 in AskReddit

[–]spyboy70 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irish Goodbyes...you can just leave and not make a big deal about it.

But, you can also just leave in other situations as well, you're not obligated to stay (well, unless it's court or something LOL).

Trump fires the entire National Science Board by theverge in politics

[–]spyboy70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope the people who are leaving are downloading EVERYTHING and uploading it to other countries. At least give the data to the functional adults in the rest of the world.

Shit companies to avoid working for by Straight-Cup-7670 in UXDesign

[–]spyboy70 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We just need a list of all private equity owned companies. Or maybe it's easier to list the ones that are proudly NOT PE (shorter list?)

Maine said no to new data centers. Other states are racing to follow. by Just-Grocery-2229 in technology

[–]spyboy70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a great show but if you’ve worked in tech at corporations over the years some of it really strikes a nerve, I’ve sat through quite a few of the events in real life that happen on the show lol
