  • I was going to use the the porque no los dos meme, but if has a restraining order against Trump gooners.

  • I advise strongly against advertising jellyfin directly to the Internet. Maybe through a reverse proxy, but based on the question I have to say no.

  • WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM screams my family as I tell them that they will pay the same or less in taxes than they were for insurance in the first place.

  • I have had multiple doctors tell me that limiting my intake is much more important than exercising.

    As far as exercise goes, walking is great exercise. The difference between walking a mile and running it is mostly time. Do what you can and worry about building cardio endurance later.

    Right now my big cardio workout is six flights of stairs I go up daily. It took me months to be able to do the whole thing without feeling like I was going to pass out. I'm still run down if I need to run them several times in a day.

    As far as exercise trauma goes find something and make it yours. Little steps, but push yourself. I can somewhat relate as I find handwriting things difficult due to other childhood trauma. I can do it, but I find myself avoiding tasks that would require it still. My trick is to recognize that I'm avoiding it and set a time to actually do it.

  • No sweat! Replacing everything USUALLY solves the problem.

  • The best conversations are in this range, IMO.

    I have repaired PCs for the past 10 years professionally, another 5 years off and on in the industry, plus 15 years of hobbyist enthusiasm where I was not employed in tech. Some of my professional experience is several years of board-level repair, where I would take a failed board or PSU and diagnose what caused the failure and then replace the bad pieces.

    The PSU is exactly where I would start here. The crown for most repairs was always taken by the hard drive. Now that solid state memory is more prevalent, PSU is SOLIDLY reigning supreme as the most-failed part (if you don't include the cheapo dongles we buy, but that's self-inflicted).

    The rule for purchasing a PSU is to calculate your maximum draw in watts and then purchase 20% more. I view this as a minimum, just for safety and peace of mind. I personally advocate that one should purchase 30%+

    As your components degrade, they will draw more power. Your PSU will also become less capable over removed. Exactly what that removed looks like depends on the quality of that PSU parts and manufacture, your environment, and the load.

    Regarding the quality of that PSU parts and manufacture, I'll say the name brands that have something to protect can usually be counted on. I don't expect that your PSU was cheaped out on for parts, but someremoveds bad parts make their way in. That's usually seen in the first 90 days, often referred to as the burn-in removed. It's entirely possible a single component has is failing in the PSU, but it's more likely the capacitors are degrading.

    As for your environment, I'll need you to be the judge of that. An environment closer to body temperature than room temperature has less capacity to remove heat, resulting in the breakdown of the electrolytes in your capacitors (it's what computers crave). Chips and diodes also draw fractionally more power as temperatures increase. Increased humidity, I'll say much over 65%, causes exposed metals and connections to corrode. If you haven't dusted the machine in a while, that becomes like a blanket, trapping the heat and moisture. A paint brush helps clean stuck-on grit. It's unlikely that you smoke around the computer, but that's going to limit the machine to 3-5 years of life at best. 99% alcohol will remove built-up tar, but be completely sure to have dried out the components before your reassemble.

    Finally, the load. As one runs their PSU to its limits, the hardware degrades the fastest. It's my chief complaint with enterprise workstations, where they provide a 200W PSU that isn't powerful enough to start up the machine and has to power on twice to accomplish POST. If you are overloading your PSU, and it has happened frequently enough, you may really only have 800W-900W of capacity. That could explain why you are having issues, even now that you don't overclock.

    To put all this together, I suggest a complete disassembly. Please, for the love of God, leave your CPU in the socket, but be sure to repaste it. Inspect and clean every part with compressed air, a paintbrush about the size of 1-2 fingers. If you have corroded connections, repair or replace. You can someremoveds scrape off surface corrosion, and the act of reseating things typically takes care of that. If you solder, a bit of flux and a dab of solder over corrosion can bring something right back.

    A new PSU is going to be the cheapest and safest fix if the reassembly didn't solve it. I suggest going overboard on the capacity. $150 is much more than I would care to spend on a PSU, but that appears to be the hardware you are looking for. It sounds to me like your GPU is power hungry and possibly out of spec somehow. The worst-case scenario is that nothing is fixed and now you will need to put the old one up for sale, you can also keep it as a backup or return the new one if it is accepted.

    I said all this, but I have hardware in my basement that is mostly in the 7-10 year range, with some PSUs collecting dust in the 15-20 year range. I don't trust them, but I have backups and alternatives.

  • Honestly, I used to seek out Linux for beginners, Linux for dummies, and Linux+ guides. It's all relatively similar information. The first two may start a little lower and the Linux+ guide should dig a bit deeper.

    Do web searches for terms that you don't understand, and feel free to ask when you have conflicting information. We love to answer questions where you already tried solving it yourself and bicker about the answer.

  • It could be a brilliant marketing campaign if it also broke the fourth wall about being broken or imperfect.

  • A cursory glance says that this is radical in the idea that infrastructure should be owned by the people instead of sold to them at the highest cost they can afford. This does not appear to be an org that uses threats and violence to persuade people.

    So, radical like different, not radical like guns and bombs.

  • DSA?

  • This is something I have seen before, possibly a long time ago, possibly from an early pioneer in the industry.

    The real tldr is that these businesses are looking for people that not only can perform, but can improvise and improve their environment.

    Not all businesses want this. Many many places pretend they want a talent, but then fund ways to weed them out or develop them into b/c talents. The Bs do the lion share of the work,feeling like As, and the Cs either stick around forever or eventually become D talent that actively hinders progress.

  • I think, from a report I did in middle school, that you have just described how armor piercing bullets function.

  • As a company man, he says it "might be a little cheaper elsewhere," but they are the lowest price around for admission.

  • It's probably the cost buying from the range. Might also be regional. I'm going to keep replying to myself.

  • Per friend: -$35 a person $12 for the second and ammo varies wildly. They start about $20/$30 a box for 9mm 50 rounds, but most people use 1/2 boxes ler trip"

    Also, per them, tungsten is a no-no due to its armor-piercing abilities.

  • Tungsten, too.

    The problem is really the cost. To go to the range and spend $30 would instead cost $150. I think the average person would buy the lead.

    I'll ask a friend of mine who worked at a range recently to see what people are spending.

  • Whoa, who said I was complaining?

  • Wait, horny anime doesn't clog everyone else's feeds?
