Removed the DVD drive, just to be sure. It was sending driver errors in the previous windows and was doing weird sounds.
Ubuntu boots until it askss for what you want to do, as in: boot from usb, hdd, other settings etc. I guess I fucked up the GPU thermal pad and it thermal-shutdowns immediately when it needs to use it. Text mode things seem to work. Other reason is the PSU, as the battery is blown.
As for the usage of the thermal pad - Using paste, it doesn't reach the chip and won't probably spread heat. Either I have to use a tactical zip-tie or get a macgyver solution for it. There's like a millimetre of space between a fully "secured" cooler and the GPU without the stock thermal pad. Maybe I am just going to apply a copper coin inbetween, maybe I can find a pad or a way to apply it straight to the chip. That's the only solution I have. The other would be the PSU, as I guess the CPU throttled straight to <1GHz and simply didn't require the power and didn't shut down.
ALWAYS use a thermal pad if it was used previously. I have tested it several times and thermal paste won't work. Also if it's a hp, the gpu might be dying. Had a similar issue with a laptop where the gpu died and it always crashed in graphics mode, but booted fine in text mode. Look if you can disable the gpu in bios to rule it out
Sent my monitor off for repairs, got it back yesterday, seemed okay, turns out it might not be. It showed up when I booted this morning and it disappeared again just now.
ah yes their super secret data centers

(thanks wikileaks)
Thanks, now I can actually look for places where I can approximately find a place where to live
I love that domain providers are leaking my personal information somewhere despite having domain privacy stuff enabled.

I should really just form an LLC and get a UPS mail address for my stuff.
why is cmos batteries fucking hidden and hard to get to on laptops ffs
Mine kindly published my personal email in my DNS records

You can see the exact time the new peering is put in place.
Have I mentioned how much PHP sucks is lately?
Writing some code, got this error:
Return value of User::HasDepartment() must be an instance of boolean, boolean returned
This is because I defined the function as
public function HasDepartment(int $department_id): boolean {
instead of
public function HasDepartment(int $department_id): bool {
Note, however, that
The error message says it needs to return a boolean, and returned a boolean. If I hadn't hit this problem a dozen times before, I'd be very confused.
In many other cases, PHP treats the identifiers "bool" and "boolean" as synonyms. You can cast with "(boolean)". You just can't require a function argument be a boolean, or a function return a boolean. Only with functions must it be bool.
In other news, by complete coincidence, I'm doing a go-live on April 1st. No joke, it just happened that the rollout worked that way. We tried a dry-run last saturday, hit too many snags to go live monday, and we're going to try again with a second dry run tomorrow. If that works, come Monday we'll be using the new system in production, and all our clients will be getting an email blast saying "hey we've got a new system, your reports will look different but better, and also reset your password because the old system was just md5 and everyone used the same password anyways".
I have no idea how many will think it's a joke. This is a fairly staid, stuffy, strictly-regulated business sector, they might not even think about it being the first of April. And it's not like there's anything funny about it. But you never know how clients will react to change.
Experiment time:
Will a tiny box stuffed with a full size graphics card, several sticks of RAM and a CPU survive being sent internationally through regular post office mail while barely wrapped in bubble wrap?
We'll see in a month.
At least tell me the full sized GPU had either a good backplate, was not on a riser, or was stiffened inside by some DIY way.
It's individual parts in a single cardboard box
Don't worry I put several hard cardboard pieces into the box because I was already worried about the fans not surviving, so the card is a cardboard sandwich while the cpu is in the plastic case and ram is also wrapped in bubble wrap. Everything in antistatic bags ofc
I'd just take the GPU and CPU heatsink out of the system. Everything else is usually secure enough inside the case.
Only if the heatsink is over twice the size of a stock one though.
Do laptops even store the password in volatile memory anymore? Last time I checked they didn't specifically for that reason.
A lot of cheap consumer end ones do.
Proper business laptops won't, but most consumer ones will. It's not relevant for most consumers, so it's arguably better for the manufacturer to leave them with the opportunity to reset it.
Posted Elsewhere but here goes...
Any resources on something like GPU passthrough? I need help or at least a point in the right direction (if not Passthrough, maybe acceleration that doesn't suck).
Situation:
Windows 10 host machine running a Guest Linux OS. Hyper-V is not viable as it forces you now to only use "software rendering" which sucks.
I have VMWare Workstation, but I'm not too well versed in how to do anything remotely like ESXi or something extreme...
I only have one GPU and I do not want to enable the built in Intel HD iGPU just to run something like that. It's just a headache waiting to happen on my part, I know it.
But yeah, in basic: Need help, frustrated to shit.
You need the following from what I can gather for VFIO.
A separate GPU(you're going to have to give the guest something dedicated and I don't think the iGPU supports this so this it only good for the host but worth trying out if you can pass the other reqs).
VT-X(which obviously you do)
VT-D(motherboard and cpu support extremely dependent)
A *nix host and a Windows Guest. It's the other way around.
Pray to god your motherboard has good IOMMU groupings.
A lot of time and patience.
Here is the mother of all threads about it.
I've configured VMware Workstation 15, been testing Ubuntu with games and stuff. It runs quite well actually.
Stupidly I forgot about the optimizing the mouse for games option in preferences, I was digging around trying to figure out why games would spaz out using my mouse.
It's not perfect and 2GB of VRAM is overkill for the performance it outputs, but it runs well.
The next thing would be what Distro to run, I'm used to Debian.
I'm essentially just sandboxing this shit till I get my secondary PC working as a Linux PC (it doesn't have a case lol)

what a lovely sight to walk in on this morning at 10am
I see a bird and some eggs in there.
Fffuck.
Black and purple wire guy is high speed.
Blue and white wire guy just does not give a fuck.
Good luck with all that. At least you can knock out some audiobooks while re-terminating all those cables.
this makes me upset
on the plus side if you cobra stitch the excess blue and white cables you'll have a real pretty noose to hang that fucker with................Jesus H that's infuriating and it's not even a rack I have to fuck with.
I doubt that happened overnight. I've been cleaning up all racks my company services and it's just the best. If I had built them from the start, I would never have gotten the satisfaction of cleaning them up
Bought this knowing it had a crack in the screen, figured it was dropped or stepped on or something

Well, that's slightly terrifying
If you can't beat them, make their cards.
Finally getting my stuff set up with IPv6.
Can I say, IPv6 reverse-DNS is mind-numbing:
