Y’all are too creative for me… I have:

• poweredge-r520-0
• poweredge-t620-0
• poweredge-t620-1
• pi4-0
• pi3b-0
• pi3b-1
• pi3b-2
• pi3b-3
• vostro-3525-0
• ideapad-c340-0

I just checked again, but I have no such option in my BIOS. In fact, there aren’t any video-related options at all.

My BIOS splash screen only shows up if the monitor’s attached to the motherboard video output. The outputs on the GPU have no signal until plasma starts…

How is the software-rendered image supposed to show up on the screen if GPU is nonresponsive? Excluding laptops with switchable graphics, the GPU is the one actually connected to the display. If the GPU hangs, how could the CPU continue to update the framebuffer in GPU memory?

I’ve got an old HP laptop which I’ve been running a Jenkins server on for years. The fan died back in like 2018, and I just kept putting off buying a replacement, so it has been running with no fan for 7 years now. Remarkably it still works fine, although a but slower than it used to thanks to thermal throttling :P

I don’t know about the others, but Arduino is literally just C++ with some macros/library functions.

The longer I look at this the more uncertain I am whether or not this is AI.

The fingers look weirdly long, but all of the text is actually written and oriented correctly, but the shading across the surface of all the cards seems to change brightness randomly, …

Mine are similar, they’re normally light brown but people tell me they look green sometimes when the light hits them at a certain angle.

Yes

I can assure you that before I set up Cloudflare, I was getting hit by SYN floods filling up the entire bandwidth of my home DSL2 connection multiple times a week.

I would say the vast majority of people (across all generations) either don’t know, or don’t really understand how extensive it (the monitoring) is and what the consequences of that are.

…are you trying to imply that all neurodivergent people are LGBT+?

Downside: it’s entirety manual and not scalable whatsoever.

Virtually all modern x86 chips work that way

Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using dd to edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)

My point was more that the SSD will likely have lower latency than an Ethernet link in any case, as you’ve got the extra delay of data having to traverse both the local and remote network stack, as well as any switches that may be in the way. Additionally, in order to deal with that bandwidth you’ll need to kit out not only the local machine, but also the remote one with expensive 400GbE hardware+transceivers, plus switches, and in order to actually store something the remote machine will also have to have either a ludicrous amount of RAM (resulting in a setup which is vastly more complex and expensive than the original RAIDed SSDs while offering presumably similar performance) or RAIDed SSD storage (which would put us right back at square one, but with extra latency). Maybe there’s something I’m missing here, but I fail to see how this could possibly be set up in a way which outperforms locally attached swap space.

Well, assuming you’ve already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.

• modern NVMe SSDs have much more bandwidth than that, on the order of > 3GiB/s.
• even an antique SATA SSD from 2009 will probably have much lower access latency than sending commands to a remote device over an ethernet link and waiting for a response

having read all these other comments, i’m now feeling like i should come up with a more creative naming scheme… for what it’s worth, my phone is named bob.
