System

- Arch Linux, kernel 7.0.11-arch1

- nvidia-open 610.43.02, nvidia-utils 610.43.02

- Xorg + XFCE + SDDM (staying on X11 due to some java based software I need the gui of)

- Two NVIDIA GPUs:

- RTX 5090 @ PCI 01:00.0 — the display GPU (boot_vga=1), DRM card1, pinned in xorg.conf as BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

- RTX 4000 Ada @ PCI 08:00.0 — secondary/compute, no displays, DRM card0

- (Note the inverted numbering: display GPU is card1, not card0)

- Kernel cmdline: nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia_drm.fbdev=1 nvidia.NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

Problem

Intermittently, resuming from suspend kills my Xorg session and dumps me back at the SDDM greeter (everythi

Had a new Bradford White 50g power vent unit installed, the blower makes a buzzing sound that actually transfers through the pvc pipes and is audible anywhere adjacent to the vent (upstairs above the pipe).

My previous power vent unit (AO smith) had a fan whine that you could hear but this is an entirely new sound.

Any suggestions? It really makes a terrible humming noise that is transmitted through the PVC.

What are considered the current best texts on RL? I have gone through Sutton's second edition but am unsure where to go next.

Any recs?

Have heard from a technician that pressure switches on units like my goodman he furnace (updraft conifguration) should be adjusted for the altitude, anyone have opinions or documents to support that idea?

Recently set up a knockoff netreturn (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXRLNLH7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) and while it hasn't happened I am absolutely getting nervous about a ricochet ball. Anyone have advice about best way to pad the metal tubing around the net?

I was thinking pool noodles but it sounds like that doesn't actually resolve the issue for most people.

I know the common idea seems to be the angled gutter guard but thought because this is just a net and not a framed screen that may not be as simple to use.

When I was a kid my older brother had a gundam model with a metal core and plastic pieces that snapped on, I can't find much information about that kind of model from 1990-1995 ish. Does anyone know what that type of model was referred to as?

I am fairly certain it was some variation of an fa-78 with metal core components.

So I have found that when I am at the very end of a flare it seems to go on forever with small amounts of blood but if I start using immodium for awhile it will slow everything down enough to finish healing. I noticed it accidentally when I had to travel for a week and my colon actually got better. Not when the flare is in fully force but just that last stubborn bit of blood. Has anyone else had this experience?

Does anyone have any recommendation on the best way to mount servers in a 2 post rack?

I have seen a conversion kit for mounting a server online but it was fairly pricey (Racksolutions 4u flush mount) and I'd prefer not to spend that much if there are other options.

Thanks

Preferably a 20 footer - anyone have a recommendation?

Guys I heard this show was great but it seems like 4 slobbish losers talking about movies and doesn’t have anything to do with bratwurst. Did I find the wrong YouTube channel? Someone please advise. Don’t even get me started on the so called “half in the bag” show having nothing to do with baguette hotdogs.

I have been flaring for the last 2 years or so, stuck on a low dose of steroids at this point. Just failed Humira and am moving on to Entyvio (just started first dose).

A couple of months ago I started taking 1mg lozenges of nicotine, and it hasn't stopped my flair but it absolutely has made my flair much more manageable. I don't really like how nicotine feels (may be more sensitive than average) so I just slowly eat 3-4 of these a day, with the Nicotine I was able to lower my steroids from 10mg to 5mg. There is a lot of data that nicotine helps folks and nicotine while potentially addictive isn't nearly as bad as smoking. If you are suffering through this shit, give it a go.

I currently run a homelab with a couple of different databases the main one being postgres but have a steadily growing redis database.

I want to significantly expand the available size for these databases but am thinking that the easiest way to do this would be to use a nas and switch to 10 gige. Would this be possible with the qnap or synology nas's that I see available online or would the performance degredation make these nas's no better than a back up.

I was thinking something like a synology DS1621+ with ssd's and the upgraded network interface but am unfamiliar with running database storage across the network like this.
