…but do I still have to “ha-manager crm-command node-maintenance enable nodename”, or can I do it through the web UI? It sounds minor but VMware, Hyper-V (via SCVMM), and even Harvester can do it.

AliasAKA is correct, it’s actually 5.14, not 5.15 like I thought.

You’re right, it’s 5.14 not 5.15 like I thought. I’m spending most of my time im Debian these days though, so I’m glad I wasn’t too far off.

If I’m not mistaken, RHEL9 and equivalents are on 5.15. That’s a pretty big blast radius.

I was at peace with the final result of the ME3 clusterfuck and wanted to give ‘em the benefit of the doubt. Big mistake.

I’m not a console gamer, so the day Horizon Zero Dawn was released, I bought Mass Effect: Andromeda. It was meh.

When Horizon came to PC and I played through it for the first time, I was stunned: the graphics, story, and gameplay were so much better than Andromeda’s. I’m still not a console gamer, but Horizon had me considering a PS4 (and later 5) for a while there.

Oh good. Just what everyone needs. I’ll stick with my Debian/Ubuntu boxes, thanks.

…and yet it’s still all over the place and not going away. I thought the “market” was supposed to decide whether these things stay around or die on the vine.

Apparently it’s a temporary thing, but still wild.

“Könyvtár” is spelled wrong, it just looks weird without the decorations over the letters there. “Könyv” = book; “tár” = storage area, basically. It covers the concept of storing things - storehouse, repository, etc.

Like “pénztár” is a cash register (“pénz” = money); “szótár” is a dictionary (“szó” = word); “tárház” is a warehouse (“ház” = house) but “raktár” is also warehouse (“rak” = verb, infinitive form “rakni,” means “to put” - so a place where you put things for storage); and so on.

As for the origin…Hungarian is a weird language. The word “könyvtár” is a compound word, but the language agglutinates all the time so that’s unremarkable. Nobody seems to agree where “könyv” or “tár” originated, though.

Guy’s last name is literally Hungarian for “Hungarian.” Great marketing for the Tisza party.

…but I thought performance was fine, why would something fine be their top priority? Pitchford couldn’t possibly have been talking out of his ass, could he?

Video editing. I record 4k, 10-bit, 4:2:2 chroma subsampling, and the first nvidia consumer GPU that supports decoding that in hardware is the 5000-series. I have a 4090 and no desire to jump to a 5090. Swapping from a 7800X3D on a B650 board to a 9950X3D on an X870E and chucking an Arc A380 on there for encode/decode cost less than half of a 5090.

That makes sense. I’m just sore because I had to upgrade to a somewhat unstable X870E board to get 4 slots for my main GPU, capture card, storage controller, and secondary GPU.

…and still only two PCIe slots. Do you remember when you could slot four cards into your mainboard without going to a “Pro” or HEDT platform? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Aren’t ravens also the size of red-tailed hawks, while crows are closer to (but still noticeably larger than) pigeons in size? It’s been a bit since I’ve seen them side-by-side.

…which, in and of itself, is sad as hell because one of the course requirements (at least when I was working on my CS degree) was Operating System Concepts & Design.

…and a lot of them hate the end-user, too. Why must we involve people in the whole computer thing? Isn’t an abacus and a box of crayons enough?

HeliumOS, Kubuntu, Linux Mint (standard and Debian Edition), Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, VanillaOS, and Zorin OS here. Helium and Vanilla are not necessarily beginner-friendly but I use them in specific places.

May you run into a nerd with a Ventoy USB full of beginner-friendly distros in their back pocket to help you along your journey.

There are at least two of us out there, I’m sure of it.
