the settings menus on macos and gnome look almost identical

i wonder why

>wasting GPU resources

gotta see that debian logo

also not worried about gpu, probably not even gonna bother upgraging gpu at first when i build a new desktop

i just need moarcores and more ram

only thing that sucks with xfce is screen tearing

will you go rAYYzen?

anyone here who 3d prints knows the slic3r struggle

but you can fix that with compton

i could absolutely take advantage of a quad xeon rig and a couple hundred gigs of ram

I would like to get some ITX VIA boards for the no-botnet x86 experience now that I'm in Taiwan

also: bulk ebook conversion

when you have a few hundred thousand pdfs to convert to epub you start to appreciate more ram and more cpu real quick

you don't have to do that daily

doing it _once_ justifies it

i literally cannot convert my library on my most powerful machine right now

for such tasks I just rent myself a really sick server for a few hours / days / whatever time I need

older xesons, but dual 8 core xeon box nonetheless

xeons even

then it also has less ram than my desktop and i haven't bothered adding more since i need a new psu backplane

>get redundant 1kW supplies >backplane fails instead of either psu

would still buy hpe again though, just probably not a g6

@porco Refurb pro cameras of the generation before current - yes, anything before that **no**

t. own Niko D1x

so which one would that be now?

any suggestion?

Which.. one?

camera

There's more than a handful of cameras

What's the cheapest decent one?

I guess a beat up used sony rx100 (first gen) or early sony nex 5 + adapted thriftstore lenses. Or one step up above entry level nikon / canon / panasonic from after 2014

Thank you a lot

I'll take a look

Do buy lens adapters (and caps etc), but ***NOT*** lenses from the chinks* There's two or so microbrands that make lenses but I don't think anyone here is in the market for a $800 macro lens or $2000 portrait lens

just curious, how big's a meme the m43 platform on /p/?

Can't really say, I've avoided it the last 3 years

Ooh, any reason?

I got an E-M5 as my first 'serious' camera and I'm interested in what the limitations of the platform are
