Look. I don’t support vaporizing Gazans and I also feel rather impotent to do anything about it. I also think things are broken and our county needs some major systemic changes to give power back to the people.

And I support the ‘uncommitted’ vote in the primary to send a clear message to Biden.

But don’t kid yourself with this ‘both sides are the same’ stuff.

Biden will, at the very, very least, try to reduce suffering where he can. And that may be pathetically little.

But this is the other side that WILL come to power if you (and I mean you) don’t vote for Biden this fall:

Trump breaks silence on Israel's military campaign in Gaza: 'Finish the problem'

Fucking finally.

A communication disruption can mean only one thing: INVASION!

Welp. Seems I’m an idiot. I’m very much a Unix noob so assumed it was something that Unix I didn’t understand rather than check the physical card again.

I was definitely shipped an nvidia card, not the amd I bid on! So case opened with eBay!

Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the great help.

Stay tuned for my next dumb question. :)

I continue pooping in the next stall over.

A communication disruption can mean only one thing: INVASION!

Battery pack accepts incoming USB-C charging. You can apparently daisy chain chargers together with any USB-C battery pack that can output the right power.

I hate Trump so very deeply. There is nothing redeeming about him or what he’s done to this country.

That being said, at least this quote you shared (the article is paywalled) is very obviously Turd saying that Biden’s vote totals beat Obama’s, from their respective elections, in swing states. But did not beat Obama’s numbers in non-swing states.

He’s trying to imply that this is proof that there was election rigging in those swing states and that’s the reason Biden’s totals exceed Obama’s previous totals.

I don’t think it makes those of us who ducking hate Turd look like we have a strong case when we willfully misread what a reasonable person can tell Turd was trying to say and then say it’s evidence that Turd is demented.

Trump IS a demented racist fraud. I hope he chokes to death on this KFC while I’m typing this…. But let’s make a stronger case with actually demented statements and not refuse to understand what’s in plain sight here.

They didn’t. It’s just smaller now

Ohhh. In that last line. I wasn’t even looking at that, I assumed the block above that was setting up the primary NIC…

I’ll see if changing that interface name does it…

Ok. I’ll check it out.

Let’s say it is exhausted… what will get me more bandwidth? CPU or mobo..?

Only other pci-e card in at the moment is 16 line HBA seems to be basically 2 cards sandwiched on one board)…

Although reading another comment makes me think maybe I don’t understand this as well as I think I do…….

Pretty sure they do the discount on Black Friday. Or used to, anyway.

I’m not a lawyer, but if I wasn’t planning to do anything related to the other ‘dedsec’, I wouldn’t even consider what the owner of that dedsec would think.

Businesses have the same name ALL THE TIME.

Unless you’re trying to piggyback on or undermine that other dedsec, I, the non-lawyer, can’t imagine how they’d have any standing to raise a concern.

Whatever you’re doing must have led you to the dedsec name (I assume it’s a website for dog-eat-dog security), there’s just no way in my (non-lawyer) mind that EA or Ubisoft has any right to stop you from saving dogs from being eaten.

I (the non-lawyer) would 100% not pay a lawyer for their opinion on this.

I do!

Thanks for the link!

I snagged lemmyw.ink to roll one soon. Lemmiw.ink, too, for good measure.

I was very tickled with myself.

Why is everyone anti NordVPN again?

I just got an R36S for ~$36 shipped from Alibaba. It’s awesome out of the box, but you can tweak. It’s incredible what it can do at that price.

To son proof it, just grab an image of the SD card before he starts mucking with it. Easy to flash back to a known-good starting point.

You can even back up his customized version when he has it mostly working before he mucks it up again.

So in the end, the intel 1g NIC just worked, so I gave up for now on trying to get the 2.5g Broadcom working instead.

I might try to link aggregate later and use the 2.5g Broadcom and circle back on this.. but we’ll see.

I also got the second GPU installed and it shows up, too. But it’s an Rx590 and is showing as an RTX2070… so I’ll be making another post shortly!

Thanks for all the input!

They are SAS drives, not sata. Mobo does have SATA, but not SAS.

Drives are hot-swappable with this HBA, right?

I’ve also had this idea in the back of my mind…. Curious what people suggest…

sorry this took so long.. you know, life. trying that command altogether, I get this response: -bash: acpidump: command not found

trying just egrep "DMAR|IVRS" (in case they are two commands) seems to hang the terminal session.

I tried following a guide to enable PICe passthrough and get this. One important thing, there is no discrete GPU at the moment, I'm trying to pass through an HBA..

This may also help, my HBA is there:

It’s late. I’ll have to pull the card and re run tomorrow. But here’s with the GPU in:

It’s an i7-14700 and an ASRock z690 extreme. I’m actually hoping to put a second GPU in the last PCIe slot so I can let proxmox use the iGPU, pass the 3060 into a Unix moonlight gaming VM, and pass an RX590 into a hackintosh VM.

This is in proxmox?

How can I tell if my mobo even supports it?

ASRock Z90 Extreme.

Has 2 built in NICs. The intel 1g and the Broadcom 2.5g.

Trying to use the Broadcom here, though my Ethernet is only 1g house wide, so I could try the intel if that seems like it could help..

I’m noodling a plan to do something similar because my synology NAS is running out of space.

But my plan was to have bare metal run proxmox and have xpenology in a proxmox-managed VM.

I’m very much an amateur tinkerer, here, but it’s been my impression that proxmox is a vastly more powerful VM manager than xpenology.

Even in your current setup I’m surprised you don’t have proxmox managing your fedora instance.

I’ve played with proxmox only a little so far, but it seems like it’s purpose-built to be that base-level layer managing everything running on top of it.

Even things like being able to log into each system right in the browser without messing with VNC or some other virtual desktop tool is just baked in.

….but now I wonder if I got the wrong end of the stick here..?

Hoping people who know better than me will weigh in!

I have no experience with dmesg and also don’t know how to scroll the history since I’m not on a terminal app (since I can’t get the NIC up).

Anything here helpful?

How do you do this? Idk what to even google, exactly.

Ah. Will trying to hit swap damage the drives? Or just won’t work?

Well, that's at least part of my problem. I have no idea what it would be called so it's hard to google. I guess the underlying technology is all 'IOMMU', but each motherboard manufacture and Intel and AMD all have other names for it...

I'm trying to pass an HBA through to a VM for a NAS.

Or the Katie Couric!

Yah. Trying to make an Uber server.

Bunch of drives for a nas vm

3060 for a bit of a gaming pc cam for things like moonlight.

Rx590 is for a hackintosh vm to make local backups of my iCloud stuff.

And a unix vm to manage docker containers.

Also plan to put Plex in a LXC (I think that’s the term) on Proxmox so it can hardware decode using the igpu.

Ok. Did a bunch more testing here tonight.

I have 2x 8tb SAS drives that have worked for several weeks now. Those show up in bios reliably regardless of which connector I use. So I think the HBA is working and the cables are good.

Of the 10x 10tb drives, 1 drive shows up reliably. It also seems to work on any connector I use. But it is the only drive the works.

Here is 8 of the 10 installed and only one showing in BIOS. I think the other 7 are not even spinning up.

An additional weird thing is that at least 1 other of the 10 drives did show up the first time I plugged it in from inside the xpenology VM. I did 'hot swap' that one in, but it then passed a SMART test. But since it passing the test and me pulling it, it hasn't worked again. I'm also not positive which drive it is because originally I wasn't expecting things to behave so weirdly, so I didn't start taking notes...

As another test, I got a hold of a 9305-16i to see if the drives would read on that. And while that card would show up in BIOS, none of the drives -- including the 8th that have always worked -- showed up or spun up at all! I wonder if that card is not compatible with my mobo?

Is it possible other BIOS settings are interfering?

Does protonvpn have an option to auto-connect to vpn on wifi networks (with white listing)?

Apart form my transmission-openvpn container, my main use of the vpn is to keep my traffic private from my personal devices (iphone, ipad, mac) on most wifi networks. It just auto connects and I never have to remember to do it. But home/trusted wifi is white listed and won’t vpn, again automagically.

Ok. Fair enough.

I'm still working on the first 2, but on the 3rd, yes there are a couple drives that are up and working on the card. 2x 8tb drives (also HGST).

One of the drives for reference:

Will give this a go! thanks!

Ok. So they are different?

How do I tell which motherboards support IOMMU?

I can’t find it as a filter or search option on any websites…?
