New GPUs are quite a bit better than previous ones but perf oer dollar has been flat for a while now. Also, if you're talking gaming GPUs old ones work fine given there has not been a new PlayStation or Xbox in many years. Min spec for

Fewer outages vs US source? I work in the power industry in the US and I am sure this is regionally true but highly doubt it as a blanket statement.

I am so happy I am not this jaded after over 20 years in software. I have never felt like I have hit a ceiling in terms of salary or skill. I still learn each and every day. I would get bored if this were not the case. Would I recommend it

If you don't mind me asking, to where? That is, what uplink do you see to your nearest AWS or gcloud? In the US, advertised residential speeds don't nessarly translate to realized gains. Just pushes the bottle neck to the ISP. Agr

I have used some of those systems, namely frontier (AMD). In the case of frontier, it is the US gov hedge their bets. The super computer before was Nvidia and the next is intel. Bunch of politics there which don't translate to business

Haha, I think that hope is officially dead. Although, Nvidia hardly cares about graphics right now so AMD might release a good gaming card even if it isn't "the best". Rising prices on the "best" will mean gamers ne

I just put Windows 11 on its own little VLAN/WiFi island called "RebootRift." It lives alone, endlessly restarting, hoping one day it will be trustworthy enough to join the others—but deep down, it knows it never will.

I have done that exact configuration for several of my clients who didn't realize any/much revenue in the EU. For them it was the obvious best move but I wish there was a better option.

To add, I have been running instance for years for family and friends. I run it behind a nginix basic auth with a config that sets a forever cookie first time you login. Really simple. Another good option is cloud flare zero trust.
