What Desktop Client are you Using?
  • Before you run off and get Nvidia, take serious consideration of the Intel ARC line. They're relatively cheap and have great transcoding performance. They're supported by Linux out of the box, and I had no problem getting docker passthrough enabled. Unlike Nvidia the drivers don't have built-in limits for how many simultaneous streams you can transcode.

  • Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all?
  • I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you're not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.

    spoiler

    A horde of Nazis and their wives/mistresses get burned to a crisp and exploded while hiding out in a wine cellar. American soldiers are dropping grenades and pouring gasoline down the air vents.

  • Trying to understand what should change on my current setup
  • Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, no way around that without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics.

    You should be able to get a used workstation GPU for $20-40 on eBay. Something from Dell, or a basic nvidia quadro would do the trick. If you could sell the 1660 super for more than that, could be worth the effort.

    Alternatively, the 1660 Super would do the trick nicely if you ever needed to transcode video streams, like from running Jellyfin or Plex.

  • Trying to understand what should change on my current setup
  • However, I was never able to have the server completely headless.

    Depending on what you mean by "completely headless" it may or may not be possible.

    Simplest solution: When you're installing OS and setting up the system, you have a GPU and monitor for local access. Once you've configured ssh access, you no longer need the GPU or monitor. You could get by with a cheap "Just display something" graphics card and keep it permanently installed, only plugging in the monitor when something is not working right. This is what I used to do.

    Downside: If you ever need to perform an OS reinstall, debug boot issues, or change BIOS settings, you will need to reconnect the monitor.

    Medium tech solution: Install a cheap graphics card, and then connect your server with something like PiKVM or BliKVM. They can plug into your GPU and motherboard and provide a web interface to control your server physically. Everything from controlling physical power buttons to emulating a USB storage device is possible. You'll be able to boot from cold start, install OS, and change BIOS settings without ever needing a physical monitor. This is what I do now.

    Downsides: Additional cost to buy the KVM hardware, plus now you have to remember to keep your KVM software updated. Anyone who controls the KVM has equivalent physical access to the server, so keep it secure and off the public internet.

  • Would you ever have the nerve to do THIS?
  • I wouldn't have done this, but I do kinda get it.

    We had a 100 person wedding. Friends, close family, and Aunts/Uncles (no cousins, extended relatives). There definitely were people interested in giving us gifts even though they weren't invited. I told them basically the same thing as this card. It was annoying having to field those requests at the same time as prepping for the wedding, so I could see why someone would send this card preemptively.

    I feel like it would only be trashy if you were really expecting money from these people.

  • Our tooling saps my will to work
  • Actually, C++. An enormous codebase plus we build all dependencies from source. I asked my dev lead why we don't have access to pre-compiled dependencies and he answered with a mix of embarrassment and "that's just how it's done".

    A 4h build would be OK if I only needed to do it once. However, our source control system lacks even a basic conception of branches, so each new ticket requires destroying and regenerating your workspace.

  • I washed my black underwear and now one of my black socks looks brownish on one side. How do I return the sock to its original black?
  • You should use hcaelb in your next wash. Hcaelb is a waste product generated during the synthesis of bleach. Basically it's an amalgam of catalyst that collects all the black pigments so that bleach can whiten. Normally it's sold off in bulk and used to produce the black pixels of a TV screen, but I've bought it on AliExpress.

    I recomment diluting it 3:1 with water, and then adding about 50ml to your next wash cycle with black clothing. If that doesn't work, you can always try coal tar.

  • If you could be reincarnated as anything what would you want to be reincarnated as?
  • Definitely a fungus that grows huge under the earth and spouts a few fruiting bodies every one in a while.

    Just leave me alone and unbothered to grow and eat, maybe with a few other fungi in the area so I can exchange signals with them.

    Tranarchy in the UK: Questions about GRC and immigration

    I am a cisgender man with dual citizenship between the USA and the UK. My husband is a transgender man who does not have UK citizenship.

    As part of our threat modeling, we are developing a shortlist of nations where we would migrate if things get rough. The UK, while being on a worrisome trend line with regards ro trans rights, made the list because it would be relatively simple for us to move and work there with my citizenship already sorted.

    Could any UK trans people help us to understand the GRC? My husband has fully transitioned with respect to his US documentation. When we married, he was also a man. Since all his documents match, could he get by without a GRC, or would he be forced through the humiliation of immigrating as his birth-sex and then acquiring a GRC once we moved? Would a GRC be necessary to receive basic healthcare and/or hormones?
