Note that some issue devices have VT-x disabled and the bios locked down by Corp IT for one reason or another, so a VM may not actually be possible from the work issue device here.

Tbh, just run the Ubuntu box headless and ssh into it. You can do anything you’d need to. Even better, swap it to Debian or something like that, because Ubuntu is unfortunately kinda undergoing gradual enshitification lately.

Yeah I’m still on my 5950X and it’s an absolute champ in terms of CPU load. Its second incarnation when I eventually upgrade is going to be a proxmox box.

My 3080 FE is starting to choke though… starting to get stutters and freezing and framedrops, and once in a while a full system lockup when I’m in Forza Motorsport… thinking of doing a coppermod to see if that addresses it, but I’m worried the GDDR may have just had to put up with too much heatsoak and might be going out :(

Get out of my head charles

She angry cuz she caught him gettin’ naughty with the LINANÄS

Lmao this is precisely how I thought this would turn out.

It’s a problem of psychology and scale. The communist system becomes susceptible to bad actors the larger the group becomes.

In point of fact: I fully agree that many Latin countries, absent US bullshittery, intervention, and fomenting of coups in the first Cold War, would probably mostly have wound up being successful.

But I absolutely do not agree that the USSR or the PRC should be held up as paragons of virtue of what a Communist system should be. They were very quickly corrupted by authoritarian leaders and cliques from the get go, which is genuinely antithetical to true communism.

I mean, I was already radicalized in that respect, but it’s definitely reaffirming that radicalization.

But also: I fuckin told you so. This progression was so blindingly obvious from the get-go.

To be clear, that was authoritarianism, not communism.

activates vpn why yes, I AM a citizen of the EU!

Works for a lot of topics that certain users around here are trying to force everyone to perceive as literally the only thing that matters.

It sucks that that one tree you really care a lot about got vandalized, burnt, and cut down, but you gotta realize there’s a whole fuckin lot more trees out there that we still CAN save. This commentary should be taken in both a literal and a figurative sense.
