    manikyath got a reaction from Needfuldoer in temps for a server   
    i mean.. the requirements are no different than those for a desktop, but depending on what kind of server you buy the manufacturer might have had some requirements in mind.
     
    for example the $1mil server linus just made a video about, the manufacturer of those 1U chassis expects intake temperature to be below some level, so that the exhaust temperature is still within before mentioned limits when that much hardware in such a compact space is running full load for an extended amount of time.
     
    on the flip side, if your "server" is just some converted office desktop, it's essentially a non-issue if you're not dying of heat stroke in the room.

    you will ruin the surface finish of the plastic by buffing the scratches out. it's one or the other.
     
    as for how: the finest wet sandpaper you can find, and a lot of elbow grease.

    are you REALLY falling over "they're extremely waterproof according to vessi"?

    you're not gonna get any exact dimensions from this, but this is a nice straight on shot of the bare die you could deduce the shape of, which gets you a rough estimate on the dimensions trough some math:

    this is why you scroll up and down to see if the pixel moves or not.

    they should both survive their rated wattage. if they dont, you've bought actual garbage, or user error is involved.

    the bank should be able to help you with this. in theory any money that belonged to the deceased goes into the inheritance, and gets handled from that end. as far as i'm aware over here at least banks freeze the respective accounts until the inheritance has been settled to make sure none of the family members run off with money that isnt rightfully theirs (yet). but really.. this is not a matter for a tech forum, because the problem at hand is far from technical.

    you could stick hoses into a plastic bottle and it'd serve as a reservoir.
     
    it depends on how janky you are willing to go, how worried you are about seams leaking, and how much you value your own time.

    PS4 is not running a desktop operating system. there is no reason to assume any software running on PS4 will run on a BSD desktop.

    because the PS4 is still a very locked down platform, to the point this common knowledge that playstation has been BSD based ever since they had an OS at all is not all that common. they chose BSD because it's a solid base and the licensing allows them to create that locked down platform with it.
     
    essentially, it's not because the OS itself is linux or BSD based, that it has any implications for anticheat. the problem about anticheat on linux is more a 'potential marketshare' and 'the willingness of that potential market to install very closed source software on their box of freedom' kind of problem.
     
    there's nothing about windows that makes anticheat "possible" on it. it's that linux can be a very powerful platform for working around the things anticheat does, and it's sort of implied that if anticheat were to limit that freedom, it would quickly be as unpopular as windows in those circles.
    so.. we're talking about a small portion of 4% of the pc users market that might buy a game if it had anticheat on linux.

    the long term solution *is* aircon, and i fail to believe the UK's aircon market is any worse than belgium's.

    The konmari method.
     
    you dont clean up by deciding what to toss away, you clean up by deciding what to keep based on one question:
    "does this item spark joy?"
     
    that term is a very japanese mindset though.. so i often just refer to "does owning this improve my life , at least equal to how much space it takes up?"
     
    or in other words.. what it comes down to is.. 'making the decision' to throw things away is hard. making that a decision to keep something makes the "dispose" option much easier.
