1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
  • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    Calm down Dr. Moneybags - look how many RAM chips are on that DIMM... No need to flex your wealth!

    [–] multiplewolves@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    They didn’t spend eight years in moneybags medical school to be Mx/Mr/Ms/Mrs, thankyouverymuch

    [–] fartographer@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Eight years, and people still question Dr. Moneybags on potato PC trutherism

    [–] GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Everyone knows they only got through Moneybags Medical School because of their parent Dr. Moneybags Senior... It's nepotism all the way! And they got a degree in cosmetic nephrology - what makes them qualified to study potato PCs?

    Pfff I go by Maestro tyvm. Doctors are chumps. I'm poor as a shitmouse but at least I'm poor in style

    Everyone in the dev community keeps talking about how good Rust is, so its great to see it in action.

    Edit: Dang, just realized the title already did the pun. I am eternally shamed.

    [–] Hupf@feddit.org 53 points 3 days ago (3 children)

    That dGPU seems excessive, also the case would be optional.

    You shouldn't need to run make as root, except maybe for make install.

    [–] Pika@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

    Sorry, make legal requires the lawyer subroutine which requires full access to everything to verify you have the money to be able to make such a claim

    [–] mech@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago
    No rule to make target 'legal'. Stop.

    True, also two sticks of ram and a CPU fan?

    Is this the full rust rewrite everyone is talking about?

    [–] meow@discuss.tchncs.de 26 points 2 days ago

    It has a gpu, thats overkill!!!

    [–] MissingGhost@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

    Incorrect. Linux can run on conputers from the 1990s. That computer is newer than that. It is not the minimum requirements.

    [–] Hule@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

    IKR? That GPU has a dedicated power connector!

    [–] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    Yeah, that beast can probably host one medium size corporate with Linux, and do some crypto mining on the side

    [–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 25 points 3 days ago (5 children)

    the funny thing about seeing this meme is that my home media server is running on a quad-core i5 that's barely 3GHz, which is in a Dell workstation that I stole out of the storage room at my last corporate job.

    the poor thing can't even run Minecraft, but I got it running a full Servarr stack. am I abusing my tech?

    [–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

    Abusing? Nahh, my homelab is powered by an AMD A6-5400K that I rescued a decade ago, you're in good company.

    [–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    it's a quad core?? damn, the decadence is unimaginable

    [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

    Four things at once!? 😳

    Pic related - The server farm compiling the entire slackbuilds repository for Slackware:

    [–] wltr@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago

    Hey, I was hosting the entire Servarr stack on a Raspberry Pi 2B, and it was working no issues. But I removed it, as I did not really utilised it.

    [–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

    I have a Dell Optiplex i5 running JellyFin at home too. I think you're good to go.

    [–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

    I see a SATA cable, this machine is too new.

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    the computer holes are happy, at least! :D

    [–] kieron115@startrek.website 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    what, do i dare ask, are the computer holes?

    Drive rail attachment points

    [–] kieron115@startrek.website 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

    hah, computers have had the same drive rail layout for so long that i didn't even notice! .^_^.

    They make the computer compute fast

    [–] Lembot_0006@programming.dev 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

    But if you clean out the dirt, the File Manager might stop starting.

    [–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

    A bit of salty water will do the trick πŸ‘

    [–] hexdream@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

    Rust support is solid at least.

    [–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

    Must be nice having enough money to afford a factory-made case.

    Okay, so I've got a potato with a Pentium sticker on it, and these racing stripes are too make it go faster.

    Still bloated

    [–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

    Not going to lie, I kind of want to bury a case in the woods for a few seasons, clean it up just enough to mount hardware/not be crawling in literal bugs.

    [–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

    Guess PC cases were steel back then

    [–] ExtremeUnicorn@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

    Uh.. PC cases are still mostly steel. Maybe not carbon steel, but also not high marine grade stainless.

    Lian Li is the only manufacturer I know of to make aluminum cases and they're freaking expensive.
