  • No, I disagree with that. It’s always been perfectly normal to have ultra graphics a bit out of reach so that the game will look great on future graphics cards, and 120fps is a ridiculously high number that should never be expected even with top of the line graphics cards for a brand new release. (Assuming 2 or 4k)

    However, a 1 generation out of date graphics card should be able to easily play most things on High settings at a decent framerate (aiming for 60) on 4k settings, which Borderlands failed at horribly. Medium to low settings on a 4000 series card sounds like a gutpunch to me.









  • I’m aware, we aren’t going to make a massive dent. However, for this 2 million dollar settlement, how many people would need to be swayed to not buy a switch 2 to make the settlement more expensive? In other words, how many sales would need to be lost because of us not buying the console to make the settlement moot?

    In the case of 2 million, that’s about 4,500 switch 2s, not counting the loss in games bought or accessories.

    If just 4500 people were convinced not to buy one because of this settlement, then the cost to their brand being tarnished is worse than the loss of potential sales due to the chip.

    There’s a dozen other factors too, legal costs, what drives these potential sales, etc. what I’m trying to say is that if they’re willing to be this litigious over a few thousand console sales, then that means that even small groups like us not buying consoles can actually be noticed. It may be a simple dip in sales on a chart, but they’ll notice. To a greedy corporation willing to go after a single guy in a garage, they’ll notice a couple thousand people not buying consoles.

    I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

    My recommendations:

    • No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

    • Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

    • Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

    • Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.








  • Proves over and over society was not ready for AI chatbots like this. I use it daily, but as someone who fully knows the limitations of what it is and what it can do. I’m mentally sound and can handle whatever garbage it can vomit up, but it helps with my coding. The fact that it was unleashed to everyone going full pandora’s box was an insane pure profit driven motive.

    Those of us who understand it can completely see it going off the rails. It’s just a prediction machine. If you give it horrible stuff like that it’s going to predict that it should come up with horrible stuff in response. It’s almost impossible to stop it from doing that because the only real way to prevent it is to not train on that stuff before, but when you’re dealing with the entire fucking internet that’s pretty hard too. (Seriously people, Reddit and 4chan were included in training. How stupid were they with this?)

    This was inevitable. Of course people are too trusting in AI and those mentally unwell will not be able to distinguish it. It was designed to be like that. They were wrong to release it openly to society.
