  1. Re:So far so good on AMD Confirms Linux 'Performance Marginality Problem' On Ryzen (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    I mostly followed this: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/P.... If you're passing a nVidia GPU, be sure to pull a copy of its BIOS and pass it to KVM.

    In addition, I passed most USB ports, and my PCI-E Soundblaster card to the Windows VM.

    Good luck.

  2. So far so good on AMD Confirms Linux 'Performance Marginality Problem' On Ryzen (phoronix.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Anecdote here...

    Ryzen 1700 w/ 64GB running Promox and 6 virtual machines - 1 Debian, 1 Gentoo (build machine), 1 PF Sense, and 3 Windows.

    Been rock solid doing full world builds on Gentoo, PCI passthrough of a GTX 1070 card to one of the Windows VMs (gaming actually works well), and has only been rebooted once since getting it going. Uptime of 24 days.

    No segfaults,

    It is amazingly fast & quiet. Quite the upgrade from my I7-3770K.

    Why would you think this? It's so blistering obvious that serious responses seem ridiculous.

  9. Re: Maybe here's the real problem on Facebook Rejects Female Engineers' Code More Often Than Male Counterparts, Analysis Finds (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, in almost all cases we do. If someone puts forth the effort to physically change their appearance to overcome the sex spec of their chromosomes, then the causal identification of someone - the point of pronouns - would match how the person identifies.

    Gender dysphoia is horrid, one of my employees suffered from it - though they were mentally ill & ended up committing "suicide by cop". (We did entertain their delusions, as no one cared how they identified, so long as they didn't harm anyone else.)

    The real issue that can't be talked about without someone being labeled a hater is that trans folk suffer from extremely high rates of mental illness, and need help. And given the lack of dramatic change in the suicide rate between pre & post-op trans folk, changing around their physical organs are not the solution.

    It is unreasonable for society to cater to the delusions of the mentally ill. Be they trans, Trump, or Clinton.

    Now if they threatened to change my sex, that might hurt.

    The mass of an individual bullet & paintball is much greater than the mass of individual bird shot pellets.

    Free falling bird shot is not painful. It feels like a bit of sand hitting you.
