I have an AKiTiO Node Titan eGPU enclosure with a GTX 1070 hooked up to an Ubuntu 22.04 laptop and it's working pretty well. I'm doing PCI passthrough to an Arch Linux VM, since my company mandated that all Linux users must use Ubuntu. To stave off comments about this, I'll say that it's not just that I dislike Ubuntu. They're requiring me to lock down so much stuff that I can't do my job. Plus, the endpoint security sensor on the host plays absolute hell with anything that uses heavy multiprocessing. The GPU (with external monitors), second NVMe drive, mouse, keyboard, audio interface, microphone, webcam, 30 gigs of RAM, and 11 CPU cores are passed to the VM, and the host OS gets the laptop GPU + monitor and my continuing disdain.
I've been using this setup for a month. My experience thus far has been positive. I start the computer up with or without the GPU connected, connect the GPU if I haven't yet, launch my VM via libvirt, and things just work. I really thought I'd have more problems with the GPU, but the USB passthrough stuff has been the truly problematic part (I can't just pass the whole PCI USB controller for IOMMU reasons). It's important to note that the GPU displays directly to external monitors. I think it's possible to like, send the data back to your laptop screen? But I really didn't want that.
(As an aside, the security people at my company have no problems with VMs lol. They know what I've done and they don't seem to care).
I seriously stop and chuckle at the box art every time. I'm not really a "nugget" person whether they're chicken, chick'n, or otherwise, but I adore that box art.
I'm not a vegetarian (yet, I'm working on some food aversion stuff), but my girlfriend is. I've actually had the chance to try the Beyond nuggets, and I agree that they're not that great. The texture just wasn't right when I had them.
I think the OP clearly doesn't like that they have this reaction (as someone else pointed out, and as you acknowledged). I think I understand why you might think this came from a lack of empathy. You like kids, what could be wrong with them acting like kids do? Sure, they're loud, but it's not that big of a deal! This person must have no empathy, because if they did, they'd be fine with it. People with no empathy are psychopaths, so OP must be a psychopath.
I think you're already starting to see what's wrong with that line of reasoning, which I really appreciate. Just to restate it here, the OP probably doesn't hate children, they just have problems with overstimulation (possibly misophonia or autism spectrum stuff). Not everyone has experienced overstimulation, but I can assure you that at best, it makes you reaaally cranky. Feelings of rage aren't surprising to me. If the OP wants, there are coping strategies and things they can do to help themselves in certain circumstances, but they're not wrong or bad. Their brain just works differently from other folks, and this is one of the effects of that.
It's not society's job to fix this (because kids have the right to be kids, and kids are kinda loud sometimes, even if you're trying to teach them to be mindful of their volume), but I think that it's generally good to try and show some empathy, or at least ask questions in good faith if you don't understand well enough to empathize.
I'd implore you to communicate with a bit more intent. Calling someone a psychopath is a pretty serious thing to do! Did you intend to hurt someone's feelings that much? Or were you just confused and a bit angry, and came to that conclusion in haste? There's a person on the other side of this conversation who has feelings, and they're asking here for help. They're trying to improve themselves, and I don't think you'd want to say that type of thing to someone who's just trying to live a better life.
I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...
I've been incredibly happy with Kagi. All of the listicles and blogspam get shunted off into their own sections. Kagi also seems to do a pretty good job at finding "deep" results. Like, when I want to find out more information about some home automation gizmo, Kagi does a good job of finding some random blog post where someone has torn the gizmo apart and analyzed every strength and weakness it has. I still prefer Google for looking up restaurants and stuff, but I hardly use it anymore. I don't at all regret the $10 a month I pay to use Kagi.
Edit: I also like that Kagi lets you define rules. Occasionally I'll be forced to go to Reddit to get some information (I really try to go elsewhere first). I deleted my account, so I go to new Reddit by default (which I hate). I don't want to add an extension to redirect to old Reddit, but I can just replace the www with old automagically for all Reddit search results. Works great.
I'm convinced that Orson Scott Card suffered a traumatic head injury at some point. I don't know how you could go from writing something as beautiful and intimate as Ender's Game to shit like Hidden Empire, which is creepy right wing Christian disaster porn (from what I can remember of that trainwreck).
As much as I despise Oracle and the lawn mower man known as Larry Ellison, I don't think this is a problem. Oracle also had a lot to do with btrfs, and while that filesystem has problems, they're not the sort of problems usually associated with Oracle (i.e. rapacious capitalistic practices like patent trolling and suing the fuck out of everyone all the time always). Oracle won't own XFS, it's owned by every single person who has ever contributed to that codebase.
Yep, if we could go back to having 1-2 streaming services that charged a reasonable fee, I feel like TV and movie piracy significantly drop. It was so nice being able to just, like, fucking watch a movie and not have to check which of the eleventy-billion streaming services it's on.

My girlfriend and I use Signal exclusively and I love it. She wasn't getting my SMS messages and I really didn't want to use Facebook Messenger, so I convinced her to give it a go. It's fast and has no bullshit, it's reliable, and I do like that nobody can snoop on our stupid, goofy-ass messages and pictures we send each other.

Ooh, I have a quick question. I'm seeing a bunch of new posts in German, so I'm guessing I may need to block an instance. Is there a way to do that in Artemis yet? (I should probably check the roadmap)

Looking for some good headphones to use for listening to music, and gaming. Could do wireless.. but I feel like USB or 3.5 mm connection would be best. Seems like a lot of the big brands have stuff locked into their windows apps....
Grado Labs SR325i (discontinued now, I got these ~10 years ago) connected to a Lexicon Alpha, with a Blue Yeti USB mic. I like everything to sound crispy. I also like open-back headphones because I don't want to completely close out my environment. Mic is mounted on a shock mount to a target shooting scope stand using a 1/4"-20 to 5/8"-27 adapter I whipped up on my lathe. It's a hacky setup, but I didn't want to spend money on a mic boom, and it cost me ~$1 in 4140 steel bar stock.
If I ever manage to kill my current headphones (unlikely but possible since I'm a clumsy oaf), I'll definitely pick up another pair. Grado makes a quality product at a fair price, and I'm glad they're still going strong. I hope that I can justify picking up a pair of their headphones with wood housings some day.
This is a highly contagious problem, and it effects those who crochet as well. I uh, got the bug and made this yard winder from scratch for my girlfriend lol. I use it too, when I get nice yarn in hanks, but it was wildly unnecessary.
Not all of my metrology equipment makes it back in the tool chest every time I'm done, but my Brown & Sharpe digit mics? My Starrett No. 220? My Federal indicating micrometer? Those never see a second out of their case that they don't need to see.
I was a Nikon shooter for a long while, starting with a Nikon F100 in the film days (something about that camera just felt so right to use), and while I've moved over to Micro Four Thirds, I still like to see what Nikon are up to.

If I ever have kids, I'll definitely be spending more time with them. I was pretty seriously neglected as a kid (which led to some major abuse that wasn't noticed) and it's taken 7 years of therapy for me to realize how much that neglect fucked me up. Turns out that you can't raise a healthy kid if you're out on business trips more than you're home (like my dad, home 2 days every 2 months), or smoking lots of weed, drinking, and abusing amphetamine weight loss pills (like my mom, sometimes home but never present).
Neglect fucks people up. Millennials know this, and we don't want to fuck up our innocent kids.

As @BiggestBulb said, most cloud providers have container platforms that support horizontal scaling, although generally not as elegantly as k8s (imo, others may disagree). Also totally agree about managed providers. EKS, AKS, and GKE weren't suitable for what we use k8s for (very large shared clusters) until recently, so we've been administrating our own custom k8s distro. The managed stuff has gotten a lot better, and I'd definitely recommend that for running kbin. Running k8s yourself is hard, etcd is an evil bastard. I've had plenty of chances to see what works and what doesn't in my role, however. There are some development/deployment patterns that are robust, and there are many that are not.
Phones require cell towers, internet backhauls, data centers, satellites, and power. I agree that phones are an absolutely fantastic first-line platform for emergency notifications. You still need more, though. There are many emergency scenarios that can hamper or disable cellular communication. Emergency preparedness is all about having redundancy and contingency plans. AM radio is extremely primitive, meaning it's low power, easy to run, and easy to repair. It's a fantastic option for a backup emergency warning system. Most people have one AM radio nowadays, and that's in their car. I think keeping that option around is a good idea, considering how cheap AM radio components are.
EDIT: I'll add that I'm fairly progressive. I just believe in defense-in-depth. Information is really important during emergencies, and we should have many ways to warn people that they're in danger.
A bit of trivia for folks, GabeN's sub is named after a ship called the Limiting Factor from Iain M. Bank's absolutely wonderful book, The Player of Games. All of the subs that Triton Submersibles make are named after ships in the Culture series of books. I'd highly recommend checking them out, although don't start with Consider Phlebas, I consider The Player of Games to be a better entry point into the series.
Off topic, but I figured I'd share anyways.
EDIT: the SpaceX landing barges are also named after Culture ships.
Some folks say something like that, others say to save book 1 for later. It's not 1 long arc, each book is an independent story with new characters in the same universe.
