After what happened to that Terreria dev, I switched from Google Auth to Authy. Glad I did! Authy’s app is far superior to Google Auth.

Switching to Bitwarden was super easy. The user experience is pretty much the same as LastPass, which is nice for my tech illiterate family members who got used to LastPass because of me. Funnily enough, I'm now considering paying for a Bitwarden family plan. I actually did have LastPass premium for two years in order to get cross platform access, but as soon as they made that free, I dropped it.

I also recently dumped LastPass (free) for Bitwarden. I've been using it for a few days and liking it so far. It's nice that cross platform is free. Although, I'm thinking of getting their family plan and bugging the rest of my family to start using a password manager.

I didn't see this until yesterday, but contributing idle time anyways.

Big thanks to @Metallus97 for the Google Compute guide. That helped me get over 30th place. Those V100’s and P100’s are monster cards.

I’m very interested to see how far I get now that I’m at my maximum folding capacity.

I decided to use folding month as a thin excuse to build myself a new gaming rig. The parts should be here Friday, but with my luck, my house will be the last one on the route.

Looks like I got hit with that download problem as well. I woke up and was surprised my case wasn't as warm as I expected. I saw in the logs my downloads stopped at about 37%. Rebooting seemed to get get things going again.

It's crazy to think that I'm going to blow past my pevious folding score of about 400k in less than a day. That was made at least a decade ago using the PS3 and my gaming rig of the day. Now my current GPU alone is going to smash their weeks worth of combined score in a day.

Well nevermind, it seems to be working now. As a last ditch effort, I reset my BIOS to default, reinstalled Ubuntu 18 LTS and made sure to do the Secure Boot setup during install. It's been 10+ minutes and no issues with network. I tried Secure Boot once and it didn't work. After I researched it, I didn't like what I read about Secure Boot and signed drivers? I dunno, but I guess I don't have a choice if it works now. I'll give it another day or two to make sure it is working before marking solved.

Wasn't sure if this should go here or the Linux forum. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm having problems with Ubuntu 19 on an Intel NUC8i3BEK. About 30-60 seconds after logging in, I'll be unable to access the internet. My local network is discoverable, but if I try to use FireFox, Ubuntu Software Center, or even use terminal to get an program, it won't work, or will be incredibly slow (100-ish bytes per second). Here's the thing - there are no problems when using the "try linux" Live USB session. I'll still be able to surf the net after several minutes. It seems there's something going on between the live session and after installation. I confirmed this networking issues occurs whether wired or wireless. Some troubleshooting steps I've tried: Installing with and without that LVM encryption stuff. Installing with and without the 3rd party software option checked. Tried minimal and normal installation. The flavors of linux I've tried: Ubuntu 18 LTS, Ubuntu 19, Linux Mint 19.1, Manjaro (wouldn't even install), And a OEM type package Ubuntu I found for an older NUC model (couldn't get installed all the way) I've tried changing UEFI and Legacy boot settings because I saw someone mentioned that while googling. No difference. Tried with Secure Boot on/off (currently off) Updated BIOS Tried changing DNS to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 (no difference) Information Intel NUC8i3BEK - M.2 Samsung 970 EVO Plus - Crucial 8 GB DDR4 Current OS: A fresh (minimal) install of Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop 64-bit BIOS: BE0071 I've attached a terminal screenshot from when someone in Discord was helping me earlier this morning. That output is the same for Live session and installed. I thought maybe the live sessions was using different drivers, but doesn't look like it.
