Yeah, the ryzens are great too.

Full amd will treat you well, I’m running dual xeons and a Radeon pro with an arc 770 just for av1 encode right now.

Next round going full epyc.

Amd knocks Nvidia into a hat on Linux, the drivers are just too incredible.

With the exception of AI, where Nvidia is just plain the gold standard.

Intel is fine, it has exceptional video encoding and works.

Core i3 is fine, celeron can route, but you don’t have as much headroom, or room for firewall rules, etc. Recommend Intel x520 or mellanox cx3 or newer, though the cx2 is perfectly fine.

The bs about bsd being slower is maybe 15 years old at best?

Bsd is a monster for routing.

Run 25gbe routing, still can get by on your 4 core, but I throw some serious xeons at it anyway.

Honestly? Wynn didn’t sell Bajor out to the Cardassian Empire.

Meh, I like my udm.

I use some of the features, but mostly it just works, and it’s debian under the hood so I just ssh in and unfuck whatever needs unfucking.

It’s vastly closer to a hand-built setup than anything else, and you can spend less time worrying about security.

We survived 2000 (you know, not well), we’ll survive this.

Though I say that with a lot less confidence and conviction than I normally do.

Honestly?

👍

It didn’t seem like stress, it seemed like they genuinely enjoyed being superior entitled assholes.

And as an American, I thought I had a high threshold for that.

The rest of Europe was incredible, the Nordic countries are my vision of heaven on earth. Mostly moved to Sweden, yesterday basically cut my last ties.

Heh, I’m sure all the gazans, Ukrainians and Taiwanese are glad to hear the American left stood for their principles.

I really wonder how much direct financial support Russia sends our ‘left’.

Again, every other country, every other city in France were lovely.

The louvre was gorgeous.

As I said, Paris would be great if it wasn’t for all the fucking people.

Zinda, his face black, his eyes red.

I am not surprised, I am barely disappointed.

I am a single issue voter, that issue is foreign policy.

This is the worst possible path for America internationally, and the dictatorships of the world are celebrating.

It’s not that.

Sweden is probably more polite, and it’s fine. The rest of France is also lovely.

Paris just seems to breed assholes somehow.

This is partisan hackery of the worst kind!

Clearly we are in orbit of a Kerr black hole, whose axial rotation is causing the light to shift according to frame dragging!

Leave it to the blues to assume everyone is moving towards them!!!

Yeah, but … that’s like saying “Oh, that’s just London!” about England, that’s the key part of the country.

Paris would be so much better if it weren’t for the fucking Parisians.

I’m commuting, I do not blame you at all, so glad my family is spared from all the bs here, during an election season no less.

… I don’t like french food. It’s not bad, it’s just massively overdone, like it’s all they have.

Wife adored it though, she’s a proper francophile, we’d go to a bistro, have lunch, leave, go 5 feet, she’d want to try the one next door too.

In her defense she didn’t know she was pregnant at the time, but she’s still an extreme francophile.

Personally the French outside of Paris were awesome, just the Parisians who give the country such a bad reputation.

They’re assholes.

I speak French, in Paris they still look at you like garbage.

Actually, outside of Paris I got along fine, but here’s the thing: Even native french speakers from outside of Paris are treated like absolute garbage by Parisians, it’s their only setting.

Yeah, France is the exception, but only because they’re narcissistic pricks with nothing to be narcissistic about, particularly their pricks.

I speak French and was an outcast, though it wasn’t nearly as bad outside of Paris, other cities just ignore you mostly.

It is probably most equivalent to burning a cross on the lawn of a black family in the south.

There’s freedom of expression, but there’s also incitement.
