I think your bigger problem with that board is going to be that PCIe slot is a PCIe 2.0 x1 slot so it will be slow but you can just use an adapter like this:

Flexible versions exist too! I’m also not sure you would get a lot of benefit out of a GT730 really so YMMV.

I am in the same boat, long time infrastructure automation engineer as well. Sometimes it’s faster to explain how terraform or whatever needs to act and then fix the issues rather than having to sift through the docs for every provider.

I also do a similar thing to you with code, I also have to read a lot of other people’s code in languages I don’t know to help troubleshoot things and while I can usually follow the logic it is such a time saver to have AI to read the docs for the libraries and languages for me to at least find the part of the docs I need to read faster than searching myself.

Overall, I also agree with the sentiment on AI most of the time and all of its criticisms are definitely valid but I think too many people try to use AI to do their work for them instead of using it more like a rubber duck you can program with normal language.

Something to consider, there is also a third category of “Combination” which is some of both. Also, hyperactive is not necessarily the classic “running around” and can be things like “interrupts people because the idea comes flying out” or “silent rooms sometimes make my brain fuzzy” (both of which describe me sometimes). It’s less about which one you “qualify for” as I thought for a long time and more about how many of them impact your life to the point that it is a problem for you and it has always changed over time for me at least!

Lots of good suggestions here already but what is your upstream DNS provider and is it your ISP DNS from DHCP?

Yeah I’m curious too because I have played Cyberpunk without any issue on both the steam deck and bazzite for a long time, cyberpunk even has a graphics preset for the deck so I’m not sure what’s happening either.

EDIT: Even using both AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards (before the latest nvidia driver version debacle though)

Lots of good alternatives advice already here but I have a couple comets and they work pretty well! They don’t require cloud access except for updates if you want them, I think it has Tailscale built in as well. Their newest one has an HDMI pass through as well which is handy in some situations. I have the PoE version of the other one and it works the same way, the power control kits work too! I also have a jet KVM and it’s fine, I like the comet better I think! They have also open sourced their cloud thing so you can centrally manage them all, it’s pretty neat!

If you find one you really like and want heavier you could have it printed in metal with like shapeways or PCBway or something I bet! Or even metal-fill filament depending on your printer!

I am not sure I could pick a favorite but here is my desk’s current fidget toy box hah! If I had to it’s probably the fidget cube or whatever is in my pocket. Also, I’m going to need to know more about this floppy chain most importantly where do I get one 😄

Oh this absolutely happens to me to the point that I just tell people when I meet them that it might happen but I do try because I have a lot of names rattling around in my head hah! I also use how someone answer ls as a sort of read on who they are as a person haha. That said, I have never had someone call me selfish but if they did I would probably respond by telling them that it’s selfish to think everyone should remember their name and to remember they are not the main character in anyone’s life but their own. I try not to be mean about it but I am definitely snarky about it.

Yeah I thought so too! I am not sure why it’s not appreciated more either, it was a great read!

This was a great episode, this is one of my favorite podcasts so I was able sign up for a forkiverse account in time hah! It actually went pretty well and it was cool to watch it get more active!

Here is the episode page: https://www.searchengine.show/the-fediverse-experiment/

Their episodes are always interesting! Definitely worth a listen! If you like that type of podcast definitely check out Hyperfixed and Heavyweight.

Okay lots of good info here but just to make sure it was clear that you are kinda solving two different but related problems. Connectivity with WireGuard or other VPN and split-horizon or multi-horizon DNS (Wikipedia) which also called a view sometimes (like BIND) and can also be done with two different DNS servers. You can sorta do it with AdGuard but it is tedious to maintain. If you are using a wildcard rewrite it works alright but that isn’t necessarily the same as a CNAME or subzone delegation.

The next pice I’m not sure I saw mentioned is that WireGuard is not like other VPNs in that if two nodes are on the same network they will generally communicate directly peer to peer even over WireGuard addresses so you don’t really need to worry about traffic hairpin like you described unless you configure it to do so (which is more like traditional VPN would act). Tailscale is similar in concept but it uses different terms and technologies.

Anyway not sure if that helped or made it more confusing but there are may ways to solve it so good luck! FWIW, my home network is currently set up with a public zone on a commercial provider. It has a wildcard CNAME to something like proxy.domain and that is an A record containing the WireGuard addresses. Then my local DNS overrides the one A record for the proxy internally which I only get when WG is off. I would rate this solution adequately functional but medium level of janky, 8/10 would use again :D

Yeah! It had a bunch of “wait not everyone does that?” moments for me haha.

My two favorite books to recommend, and both are good audio books, are “Faster Than Normal” and “ADHD 2.0” when people ask because they are very positive I think, the latter being more science oriented and interesting to know more of the why, both are great though. FTN has a lot of good stories that describe things well, it’s often the one I tell NT people to read to understand how my brain works as well! Another good one I enjoyed was Order From Chaos, lots of good “real life” stories in that one like having a doom room of stuff haha.

Okay I saw your previous post but I’m curious now. What happens if you curl your IP address on port 80? Does it send back a 30X redirect for SSL to your newly configured subdomain as the new default location for r do you get back your IP but using SSL?

The best way I would describe how they help me it is that they give me the ability to choose what to do or think on much more intentionally, even if that ends up being nothing because I am not motivated. So from my experience (aderall and vyvanse) they won’t give you motivation but they will let you be more in control of your mind which is always good.

Hah I am glad it was helpful! Glad to share, I always felt like half the point of learning is to share what you learned. That is one of my favorite “hidden gems” for lack of a better term that can be a real time saver.

Bonus just for more fun: you can use cd - to switch back to the directory you were last in after changing directories, it toggles the top two paths in the stack. It is similar to how pushd/popd work if you have you used those. I use that one a ton, there are fancier tools now but that one works everywhere.

Oh also, anyone on a Mac needs to know about pbcopy, Linux has xclip and I don’t remember what the Wayland analog is.

To add to this one, it also supports more than just the previous command (which is what !! means), you can do like sudo !453 to run command 453 from your history, also supports relative like !-5. You can also use without sudo if you want which is handy to do things like !ls for the last ls command etc. Okay one more, you can add :p to the end to print the command before running it just in case like !systemctl:p which can be handy!

Lots of good advice here and I am not THAT old but here are a few things I wish I had realized sooner in life (in no particular order or theme):

• No one really knows what they are doing, more experienced people usually have just made the mistakes already.
• There is a difference between being correct and getting someone to agree you are correct, the former is the most important and the latter is not always possible or desired and when to argue and when to let someone be wrong is a skill that takes practice.
• The less time spent worrying about what other people think of you the happier you will be and the easier life will feel. In almost all situations you spend more time thinking about whatever it is than the other person does.
• Always strive to be a good and like-able person but always remember that it’s impossible to be liked by everyone, sometimes people just won’t like you and that is okay.
• One friend you can count on is more valuable than 100 acquaintances, guard and nurture your valued friendships like your life depends on it because it might some day.

The biggest thing though, there isn’t one correct way to live your life and anyone telling you differently is probably selling you something. Always try to learn something from every situation and you will be fine, mistakes are a part of life. Anyway, hope at least some of that is helpful!

So just in case this is helpful I have an x13 but when I was installing any version (tried a few) I had to use a single-band network (5ghz only in this case, had it for other reasons already) because the installer would just never report it was connected to the network even though it was, I had assumed it was that my multi-band network also included 6ghz. Either way though, this seemed to be only an issue for the installer and when it booted up after install I could use the multi-band network just fine. It currently has 24.04 on it and it is fine.
