It’s easy to misdetect the card. You just need to flash broken firmware on it that pretends it’s a different card. This is definitely not a 2070 because 1) Powercolor does not make nVidia cards and 2) RTX 2000 GPUs don’t have DVI ports.
Returning it is what OP should do. He paid for a working card, he should not be dealing with firmware flashing. Though I’d try using GPU-Z on a Windows machine to be sure first. Technically you can only be 100 % sure after reading the laser print from the GPU die but that might make returning harder so I wouldn’t bother.
What’s wrong with 2 PSUs if both of them are connected to the same ground? I thought multiple PSUs is common in the server space too.
in other words: OP either needs to get a thunderbolt dock or straight up have 2 computers. The latter should not even consume that much more power if the PC gets shut down in the evening and woken up using wakeonlan in the morning.
Nobody is stopping you from discussing it. So far your only contribution to the discussion was bitching about others bitching.
If we limit the discussion to the selfhosted realm, I agree with these people bitching. Nextcloud is too bloated and slow, while not providing many benefits over individual services. You would at least expect it feature ease of use over having individual apps but nope because when you install an update, there is high chance of breakage. End to end encryption has been losing people files for years. Which is imo a big deal in “private cloud”.
I guess my point is that the “bitching” is our discussion and you and people who upvoted your comment are free to join it and perhaps provide some examples of your Nextcloud setup and why you think it’s good. I’m sure most of us will be nice and won’t tell you to keep your comments to yourself.
The point is that they have recently focused on better binary package availability. Sure they always had support for binary packages but most software needed to be compiled.
That comes down to the “they are being out-everything” from your earlier comment. Europe needs to start spending much more money on the war, but that wouldn’t be popular amongst the Europeans and therefore won’t happen, sadly.
imo the time for offensive was never. The offensive should happen “naturally”. If they had enough resources, they would be slowly pushing Russia back just like they are being pushed back currently. The whole “spring offensive” was just as dumb as Russian plan to conquer Kiev in 5 days or whatever insanity they had in mind.
Yep the problem is that people don’t play enough Age of Empires. Basically the worst thing you can do in that game is to send a knight to the enemy’s base, wait a bit, then send another knight, wait, send next one, … etc. One by one each of the knights dies without achieving anything because he will be massively outnumbered. The correct thing to do is to muster a group of the knights and then send them all at once. That way you will have the advantage and have an actual chance of winning.
Going back to the real world Ukraine “The West” is almost comically stupid. They are arguing over how much help should be sent to Ukraine and always sending just enough to get by but not enough to give Ukraine an advantage. Instead of spending a lot of money during a short period of time to actually get some results, “The West” decided to slowly throw away money in the infinite pit of frozen conflict.
The way I, the self proclaimed internet war expert, see it, there are 3 possible solutions for “The West” to the Ukraine problem.
Decide to send a lot of money to flip the tides. (that won’t happen)
Decide that they aren’t stupid to feed an endless war and decide to exchange half of Ukraine’s territory for Ukraine’s membership in NATO. Kinda crap but honestly better than the 3rd option.
A nothing burger. AKA doing what they are doing right now. The optimistic vision is that over the next decade “The West” will get rich enough that even with these small scraps here and there Ukraine will be able to win in the end. The realistic one is that the scraps won’t be enough and Ukraine will slowly but surely lose territory, ending with some kind of crap treaty including Ukraine both losing a lot of territory and not being in NATO. “a lose-lose”
I’ve tried it and it went horribly. By default it doesn’t stream your desktop, just some apps so I tried to change the config file according to their docs but made a mistake, now it’s brokie. I deleted the config file and the entire /etc/wolf directory but it’s still fricced. (I am on Mint and used podman-docker instead of real docker)
Before I broke it, I could open up a black screen which should in theory be a sign that it’s still installing stuff in the container but I was too inpatient to find out.
I suppose the bottom line is that it’s still in alpha. I might try it again with the help of their discord or something when I get time for it but idk when that will happen lol.
Thanks for your reply. Honestly what I’m asking for does not really exist. You have to pick from features, open source and plug-and-play-ness. Usually you can get 2 of the 3 but it’s hard to get all three. So although I wouldn’t buy this PC, it’s a pretty good recommendation for stumbling on this post in the future.
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I don’t think the Orange Pi 5 Plus is mainline Linux ready, or at least the RK3588 is not there yet so it seems to me that it’s more of a hacky board. I don’t think the Zimaboard is open source but it seems pretty good although I personally would buy a coreboot compatible small form factor PC if I went x86.
Thank you very much! This is probably the best answer.
For anyone from the future reading this: From my understanding almost every SBC does not really work with “Linus Torvalds’ Linux” which is why one often sees HW manufacturers also providing their own Linux image with the computer. This is fine for development but honestly not something I would want for self hosting stuff. There are few exceptions like the Raspberry Pi but that one is not that much open source. So imo the best option is to look at https://ubuntu.com/download/risc-v where Ubuntu provides “official” images for few RISC-V boards. (The Visionfive 2 is what lead me there.)
Thanks, does it have mainline linux support though? I know I am kinda repeating myself but that is probably the most important point as I am not really a good hacker so I don’t really want to buy hacky solutions.
Ok that’s good then. Thanks for the reply!
