The B50 was plug and play for me. Obviously not a super powerful card compared to the competitors, however for 16GB of vram in a tiny package (with only 70W of power usage) it’s unbeatable. I did play some games as well, and it was decent enough to get me by for three weeks while my 7900 was getting RMA’d.


I’m aware, but it should have been part of their build system and they should have, at the very least, had alarms for this.


That’s what alarming is for.


Like dgdft said, if you’re using certbot, it should typically be running on the machine that your endpoints are hosted on. Enterprise solutions don’t require this, but they have other means of deploying certificates automatically and alarming if they are unable to, before they expire. My organization has dashboards showing which certs expire and when, and it triggers alarms at least a month before anything goes wrong.
High stakes automation should always have alarms on error, and since certs have set expiration dates baked into them, you can alarm far before anything goes wrong. Apparently, Riot didn’t have that.
Also, more frequent renewals make it so that people are less likely to forget it exists. Because of that, along with the possible security ramifications, 2 to 10 year certs should never be used, in my opinion. A 10 year cert will always get kicked on to the next team and it’s very possible for things to fall through the cracks.


What makes you think I don’t do this on embedded devices? I’m not about to dox my self with specifics, but I do this exclusively for embedded hardware as my job. We even do it for devices not directly attached to our network. It’s really not difficult so long as you have control of your enterprise hardware (which, you should, unless your management is terrible at their jobs). Hell, even the routers we use have this functionality built in, failure alarms and all.
If this is a problem for you, it’s probably at an organizational level, and not a technical issue.


I work in DevOps, this is one of the easier things to automate. It’s common for certs to be issued on a 90 day basis these days, no way that would be maintainable without automating.


They obviously don’t or they wouldn’t exist.
Got it, so in your case, if it applies to your argument, it’s possible and works “every time ever”, and if it goes against your argument, it doesn’t exist and no one is boycotting.
You are not arguing in good faith, and only want to be right in this instance.
I’m sure you’ve never bought a display, GPU, or computer with HDMI, and I’m sure you’ve advocated for your friends and family to stop buying anything with HDMI certification. Right?


How does a subscription compare to TV purchases? How does that one instance of politically driven consumer action equate to “every time ever”? Have you heard of Nestlé? People have boycott them forever and they still exist. Why?


…extremely well? Can you provide an example of the contrary?
Can you provide evidence of it working extremely well?


I use Bazzite for devwork too, I do use distrobox though which allows me to get proper dependencies without layering more onto the system image.


Yeah, I’ll only buy it on a deep discount, and after they change it to be actual Civ.


Oh my god, finally. This is how it should have been released in the first place.


It definitely didn’t help that I bought a Pro B50 which shipped yesterday. My bad, everyone.


I can’t put my finger on it, but I don’t trust System76 anymore. It could be because of their development halt of Pop while they worked on Cosmic leaving a bad taste in my mouth, but nonetheless, I don’t think I’d buy hardware from them, especially at this price.


BS. There are plenty of community hosted servers of games that operate with no issues. This has corp written all over it.


It’s a proposal, not a for sure thing yet.


I mean, that’s fair, but the 285k has a TDP of 250 watts compared to 120. In practice, I think that people gaming or doing workstation tasks would use more power on the 285k, because typically, that’s what these will be used for anyway.
For comparison’s sake, the EPYC 7702 is a 64 core (hyperthreaded) server CPU, and it has a lower TDP. The 285k’s TDP is absolutely bonkers.


No thanks. 👍
God, turning away to leave the lake gets me every fucking time. Even just reading about it makes me tear up.
