With the amount of people that made their account with a fake DOB of like 1900 or something to get around mature content I'm sure they already see plenty of users that age lol

This is not entirely accurate, business reply mail can be parcels as well. Brother and HP ink returns are 2 I can think of off the top of my head. So we see packages with those labels on there all the time. The company will pay the postage automatically through their account (if they're large enough to do BRM they have an account) and just get the mail delivered. Honestly I don't know of anyone at the PO that would say something about it, we'd just laugh like "well we're getting paid for it regardless lol"

I'd love to get my hands on even a decent condition 1st gen iPod, but people want insane amounts for them now. Even my 5.5 gen was more than i wanted to pay but nearly mint.

Me this past weekend trying to setup GPU passthrough to a VM. Bought an AMD card just to passthrough my existing Nvidia one and have had nothing but issues with multiple distros 😔

BigDaddySlim , 1 month ago

Passthrough not actually working, VM not detecting the GPU or not loading qemu properly even with everything loaded properly. Tried on 3 different distros (Ubuntu and arch based) and none worked. Might try the other suggestion to swap the cards. Just means I'll have to redo my water loop for the 2nd time this week 🙃

Yes, I installed libvirt along with the many other packages required

BigDaddySlim , 1 month ago

Sorry for the delayed reply, don't have much free time on work days.

Was launching the VM via virt-manager. Do you want the overview XML or for a specific category within virt-manager?

lspci -k shows both my GPUs are there now but trying to load the BM says iommu group is not viable

Man I've followed like 6 different guides to a T and tried with 4 different distros and still can't get it to work. I'm done fighting with it for a while. Maybe it's just an issue with 7000 series AMD cards or the guides aren't up to date with the kernals idk. I need to take a long break from it before I get upset and just return the GPU lol

Appreciate you trying to help though, truly

I began falling into this, bought an Audeze LCD-2, Sennheiser 6XX and beyerdynamic DT 770 250ohm, some Grados, as well as a DAC/amp to run them. I quickly realized my hearing is shit and that's the peak of what I need and stopped

BigDaddySlim , 2 months ago

Yeah no kidding, those gaming sets aren't made to last. I have the PS4 250 million edition wireless headset and it's garbage. It sits in the box as a psudo collectable now.

I use the 770s pretty much daily now, used to use the 6XXs but needed closed backs for blocking some background noise and just never switched back lol

I see a lot of drives there, all presumably connected via SATA. If you're looking to add more drives in the future I recommend a SAS card or two, specifically a Dell PERC H310 flashed in IT mode. I picked one up on eBay for $20 a while back and it gives me 8 drive connectivity. Also snag some mini SAS to SATA cables to connect the drives.

I've got 44TB running in my Plex server using it and have had 0 issues with the card. Even had a friend 3D print a fan housing and attached a small Noctua fan to the heatsink for some peace of mind when doing large data transfers to make sure the card doesn't overheat.

Edit: Like so

My raid is software as well, through TrueNAS Scale.

Yes, it breaks off to 4 SATA connectors, here's a link on Amazon for an example.

Speedrun tip: just completely remove your windshield with a sledgehammer to remove the ice

Use the Heisenberg method, bite a lamp cord with your teeth, use the ends to cause a short burning the zip ties and burning the piss out of your wrists. You're then free to go hide your methylamine at your car wash.

I've got a 13" M1 MBP about 2 years ago and I wanted to test it's power after I set it up. I loaded up Final Cut Pro, got to work editing a 15ish minute 1440p video with a lot of elements to it. The render time was about 3 minutes, which is on par or faster than my 5950x/3090 K|ngp|n desktop, and the fans didn't even turn on. It's not over hype. M2, sure I can agree since it was marginal uplift over M1. I'm not even an Apple fanboy, but that M1 chip is damn good for an off the shelf workstation.
