>UPGRADE & BUILD ADVICE
Post build list or current specs including MONITOR: https://pcpartpicker.com/
Provide specific use cases (e.g. 4K editing, high FPS gaming)
State budget and COUNTRY or you will not be helped

>NEWS
RTX 5070 Ti released Feb. 20th; RTX 5070 to release on Mar. 5th.
R9 9950X3D - RX 9070 set to release in early March.
Asrock motherboards are frying AMD CPUs - https://archive.is/QuoZM

>12V-2x6
The chances of burning are much lower on newer batches of 40 series cards and 50 series due to an improved connector. Said connector can still melt if the cable is not seated fully and/or bent.

>Intel Raptor Lake / RPL Refresh
Instability reported with 13th and 14th gen, i5 K SKUs and above (incl non-K). Update BIOS and apply Intel Baseline settings. Avoid purchases.

>CASE
ATX: Lian Li O11D EVO XL, Antec Flux Pro, Torrent Fractal Design North XL

>CPUS
HTPC(4K60)/Web Browsing: i5 13400
Gaming: R7 9800X3D
Multicore: R9 9950X; budget: i5 13600K
>Avoid iGPU-less CPUs
>Existing AM4 board with an old chip? Bite the bullet and upgrade to AM5 instead of being bottlenecked by legacy hardware.

>GRAPHICS CARDS
1080p: RTX 3060 12 GB / 4070 Ti SUPER; driver overhead beta tester: Arc B580
1440p: RTX 5070 / 5070 Ti
2160p: RTX 5080 / 5090
Amateur production: RTX 3060 12GB, 4060 Ti 16GB, used 3090, used 4090, 5090

4k on DLSS performance looks better than 1080p DLAA / native = same performance, higher fidelity.

Avoid AMD GPUs like the plague. Spending ~50 dollars more for Nvidia's software suite alone is worth it.

>RAM
DDR4: Zen3/AM4 - 2x 16GB 3600 MT/s CL18; for locked "non-K" 12th/13th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 3200 MT/s CL16
DDR5: Zen4/AM5 - 2x 16GB 6000 MT/s CL30; for unlocked "K" 13th/14th/LGA1700 - 2x 16GB 6400MT/s CL32

>COOLERS
AIO: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 420
Tower: Noctua NH-D15 G2 / Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

AIOs are recommended. The failure rates are extremely low and they last >3 years on top of being cheaper than good towers.

picrel is unihertz jelly star 2

unihertz jelly max looks pretty promising, no officially supported de-googled distros for it yet though.

I'm still on a gen1 iPhone SE. been like 7 years now. it still works fine for what i need but i'm having to replace the battery like once a year, and have had to replace the vibration motor last year too. new apps not supporting the old OS is annoying but not the end of the world, but its practical operating life is definitely coming to an end.

once this thing croaks im trying to find an alternative that is hopefully not the iPhone mini because im kindof tired of apple and their bullshit.

anyone else out there struggling finding options for small devices? what phone are you using?

china has finally been defeated.

>France has upped the ante in the quest for fusion power by maintaining a plasma reaction for over 22 minutes – a new record. The milestone was reached on February 12 at the Commissariat à l'énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA) WEST Tokamak reactor.

>Achieving the dream of commercial fusion power is the Holy Grail of engineering and has been for 80 years. With a single gram of hydrogen isotopes yielding the energy equivalent of 11 tonnes of coal, a practical fusion reactor would hold the promise of unlimited, clean energy for humanity until the end of time.

>Small wonder that billions have been invested by both government and industry in the quest to make fusion power a reality. However, while fusion is relatively easy to achieve in the heart of the sun or in a hydrogen bomb, creating a practical reactor that produces more energy than is put into it is another matter entirely.

>The tricky bit isn't to get atoms to fuse. That's a fairly simple lab bench experiment. The problem is creating the right conditions where the fusion reaction is self-sustaining, with a net energy output. That means reaching temperatures of between 100 – 150 million °C (180 – 270 million °F), a pressure of five to 10 atmospheres at the point of reaction, and keeping a high-energy plasma stable for at least 10 seconds.

>The CEA seems to have done considerably better than 10 seconds and gone 25% beyond what China achieved in January 2025 with 1,066 seconds. In the latest test, the WEST Tokamak held its reaction for 1,337 seconds.

READ THE WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Rust for Linux lauded by maintainer
Screenshot_20250219_163249
>Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman has also been a big proponent of Rust kernel code
>He encourages new kernel code/drivers to be in Rust rather than C
>"As someone who has seen almost EVERY kernel bugfix and security issue for the past 15+ years I think I can speak on this topic"
>"The majority of bugs we have are due to the stupid little corner cases in C that are totally gone in Rust"
>"I'm all for moving our C codebase toward making these types of problems impossible to hit, the work that Kees and Gustavo and others are doing here is wonderful and totally needed"
>" C++ isn't going to give us any of that any decade soon, and the C++ language committee issues seem to be pointing out that everyone better be abandoning that language as soon as possible if they wish to have any codebase that can be maintained for any length of time"
>"Rust also gives us the ability to define our in-kernel apis in ways that make them almost impossible to get wrong when using them"
>"Rust isn't a "silver bullet" that will solve all of our problems, but it sure will help in a huge number of places, so for new stuff going forward, why wouldn't we want that? "
>"Yes, mixed language codebases are rough, and hard to maintain, but we are kernel developers dammit [...] Adding another language really shouldn't be a problem, we've handled much worse things in the past and we shouldn't give up now on wanting to ensure that our project succeeds for the next 20+ years"

>How does it work on Bing?
In Bing's Image Creator, "boosts" are used to speed up the image creation process, each user starts with 15 boosts. When you use a boost, the AI creates your image quickly. If you run out of boosts, the image waiting time can increase, usually if you refresh the page you can get the picture earlier.

DeepSeek has 128K context window
1740156802807
That is enough that I was able to fit entire game code inside of it, and ask it to create a menu window. It did great considering I gave it no documentation whatsoever and some of the functionality is built-in, so it couldn't see the definitions.

Claude has 1M context window and apparently that will increase even more. In the future we will be able to fit entire drivers or even kernel code into a context window of LLM. What are the implications?

Linus has betrayed the community. Linux is officially dead.

>You are saying that you disagree with Rust - which is fine, nobody has
>ever required you to write or read Rust code.

>But then you take that stance to mean that the Rust code cannot even
>use or interface to code you maintain.

>So let me be very clear: if you as a maintainer feel that you control
>who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG.

>But "ignore the Rust side" automatically also means that you don't
>have any *say* on the Rust side.

>You can't have it both ways. You can't say "I want to have nothing to
>do with Rust", and then in the very next sentence say "And that means
>that the Rust code that I will ignore cannot use the C interfaces I
>maintain".

>But that "wall of protection" basically goes both ways. If you don't
>want to deal with the Rust code, you get no *say* on the Rust code.

>Put another way: the "nobody is forced to deal with Rust" does not
>imply "everybody is allowed to veto any Rust code".

tldr:
- Maintainer stands up to rust trannies and blocks code
- Rust trannies quit over it
- Linus is now telling maintainer to GTFO and saying he has no control over R4L
- Linus is further telling maintainers that if they don't write Rust they have no say in it
Linux is dead as a project. The codebase is going to go to shit at this point.

The Summoning of Stallman
513961518b8ed567db51bdc1f3006df8
’Twas the night before compile-time, deep in my lair,
Not a flex was unflexed, not a moan left to spare.
My twinks were all sprawled, their bodies well-spent,
Their hunger for Chad thoroughly bent.

Their limbs draped like silk on Egyptian-thread sheets,
The air thick with sin, sweat, and decadent heat.
With a smirk, I arose from that writhing embrace,
Each vein-popping muscle still locked into place.

I tucked them in gently—each delicate frame,
Whispered sweet nothings, though forgot all their names.
Their sighs turned to sleep as I left them in bliss,
For darker desires stirred deeper than this.

In the glow of my rig, the real game began,
A keyboard, mechanical, sat underhand.
My pecs cast long shadows, my jawline—defined,
An apex of power, both carnal and mind.

No longer content with just fleshly delight,
I sought digital war in the depths of the night.
I logged into forums, with purpose so clear,
A devilish grin stretched from ear to ear.

"Linux runs faster—GNU’s just dead weight,"
I posted with venom, sealing Stallman’s fate.
A trap most profane, laced with pure disrespect,
For I knew what great force such words would attract.

Leaning back, satisfied, I flexed with precision,
A god among men, both flesh and revision.
The air grew cold, the shadows grew long,
I had summoned the beast with my heretical song.

Wiping RAM.
dodge-ram-1600mhz
After some trial and error I managed to use a DBAN DVD to securely wipe my hard drive of its contents with the 35 pass Gutmann method ... according to my research, this is safe even from an electron microscope forensic technique used by nation state actors

Is there any similar program to wipe your RAM? What can I use to securely erase my RAM?

Thanks /g/

P.S. this is a time sensitive request

I upscale everything through SD when I'm on my PC, but sometimes when I'm away from home and on my phone and need an upscaled pic (think anime wallpapers) I used to just run it through here.
Anyone else feel like the internet is even deader than ever before?

Just who is even buying GPUs these days?
sample_07ea635bf0730a19026e7f4cdbe0a0d6
The 50 series is out, and people are lining up in droves for the privilege of spending 1k+ for a 70-tier card.
While in the past we may have had a bunch of different customerbases for which a new gpu was an event, and it made sense for them to be scarce, now you have to consider that:

>AAA games are the only ones that'd require a high end card, and no one part of the enthusiast demographic that used to buy top end GPUs plays them
>AI hasn't made any progress in processing efficiency, meaning a faster card with less vram will be a downgrade, making the purchase meaningless
>Crypto mining hasn't been financially viable in years and miners don't buy new consumer cards for that anymore anyway
>Modeling/Rendering/Editing continues to do better on specialist cards

So just WHO is out there lining up?
What customer possibly exists that NEEDS the new series with this urgency, let alone in numbers big enough to create perceived scarcity?
Are they just paid actors? Is Nvidia trying to scramble to fake an entire market's existence to try and not make the bubble pop irreversibly?

Someone please offer insight.

I always see people seething about Windows 11 and it just confuses me because they're treating an OS like a lolcow. Almost all the time these people don't seem to realize they can just turn off Copilot, remove the ugly search bar and customize it to their liking. The only actual flaw of Windows 11 in my opinion, is that there are technically two context menus for Explorer, but even this isn't that big a deal because you don't need Explorer to create shortcuts.

>But it's, like, slower or something
Is it? Outside of cherrypicked webms this is such a weird thing to say because I'm on a 10 year old laptop and Windows 11 still boots objectively faster than Windows 10.

>The taskbar is, like, annoying or something
You can literally just change it to be how you want it, heaven forbid setting it to auto-hide if you don't actually use it that much

>Windows Key search is useless and prioritizes Internet instead of system
So... Just download Everything? Pin things to the start menu?? Learn how to navigate your own computer like a regular person???

>It takes more clicks to accomplish the same tasks
And yet Windows 11 was the OS that made me start to actually learn hotkeys. Curious!

GrapheneOS Setup for Police
Cute Hot Adorable Beautfiul Magical Girls Hand Holding Police Station
I am not the police, but how would I setup a new GrapheneOS phone such that there are multiple pins/passwords to unlock the phone? I already know how to set one up that deletes all the data. I believe that's called a duress code. Let's say I have a ton of apps and data on there that I don't want the police to get access to. How would I set up a different passcode that would present the officers with a version of the phone that is clean from all that data?

I want to know one thing: if you could walk away from whatever life you have, no questions asked, and restart some type of civilization on a few hundred acres of (1) no zoning needed for any construction, (2) no firearm or firearm discharge restrictions [open and concealed carry assumed], (3) expenses covered for raw materials and food until self sufficient, and (4) dedication to some type of self-defined "service", some way of self-dialogue with the gist, "I matter in this role more than I ever did before. I chose this, and fuck you." or something like that.

Also, hit the big red button and an ATV gets you within 6 hours and you go back to whatever life you had. Who are the people that go "fuck yes" and what do you care about most?
