Today's game is Mario Kart 8. I was playing with some friends today, and I decided that no more will I lag behind in my inferior skills when it comes to 200 CC. No more will I throw myself off cliffs. I will beat them all. So after we played a few races I went into time trials and practiced like some weird training. The results... were negligible.

I did well on 150 CC for Mario Circuit, but 200 CC I kept completely losing. I need to get the hang of Brake Drifting first I think and then I stand a chance.

Beyond my troubles with 200 CC though, it's great to hangout with friends on games like this. Cheeseland is my favorite course. Everyone else seems to hate it but the game keeps picking it so... I guess I win.

Despite my complaining earlier about 200 CC, I find games like this being Social Hour more so than an actual competition. It's interesting because a lot of games turn into this for my group. Halo? Eventually we space out and start chatting instead of actually killing each other. Smash Bros? We spend more time horsing around than anything. Even something like REPO by the 5th level we're sat around the campfire and the game world has become more of a vehicle to add to the experience of socializing rather than what it was meant for.

i see a lot of news about australian politics, news of seattle, darmstadt, brazil, ... all places where i don't live, where the posts aren't relevant to me. it would be cool to be able to tag posts/communities with a geographical location so i can easily filter which posts are / aren't probably relevant to me. in one setting in my profile, instead of having to block each community individually (there's hundreds of them at this point)

Title.

Hi folks, my NAS is running on this motherboard: https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-vi-extreme-model/spec/

I currently have the following:

• M.2 NVME Boot Drive 1TB SSD
• M.2 NVME App Drive SSD
• SATA HDD Pools
• SATA SSD Pools
• 2x GTX 1080s SLI
• 1 USB 3.1 PCIe card
• 32 GB DDR4 (wish I had bought 64Gb before prices went crazy, but it's perfectly manageable)

As you can probably tell, this was a gaming PC at one point, but now I have it in a massive case, so it's really easy to get in there and mess with stuff on my home rig.

Here's my quandry: I currently have a 1TB M.2 drive as my boot drive of which ~16Gb is used. SSDs are obscenely expensive right now and I'm out of room for games. I've read online that you can use Intel Optane memory as a boot drive.

This unit in particularly was recommended: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Optane-Memory-Xpoint-Retail/dp/B078ZCZ5H9

My question is this, and it sounds a bit silly for someone who can self host to not know this, but how do I insert the optane memory and is it compatible with my mobo? I see it has a PCI 3.0 connection type but it has a little half-moon screw divot on the end like an M.2 drive. Do I just push a drive like this upright into one of the PCIe slots or does it have to go into that second m.2 slot the motherboard specs show supports PCI 3.0. I'm trying to avoid using the second M.2 slot since I might want to add a second SSD for apps later on as I already get an earful whenever the Jellyfin goes down. :D Alternatively, I'm considering using the SATA SSD as a boot drive. I've read that once everything is up, it's all loaded into RAM anyway and the boot drive speed is not really important anymore. I can tolerate an extra 15 seconds on startup more a machine that might get rebooted once or twice a week when things are running smoothly. I could give up the USB 3.1 PCIe card as I think there are some headers hooked up to the case ports.

What would you do in my situation?

I use Fedora on Gnome.

I often hook my laptop to a dock which connects to the monitor. The dock has all the ports so it is a one usb C cable to connect to my laptop. So i'd have monitor on the left, laptop on the right. Or i can go full monitor and turn off the laptop's display.

Nevertheless, sometimes when I need to packup and unplug the dock's usb c, some applications are still stuck. I.e. the system still thought that they are still on the external monitor.

The only way to "pull" these windows back is to unplug the HDMI, then plug/unplug the dock's usb c cable into the laptop. Using Window key to get to Overview mode in Gnome, i couldnt see the missing the windows. Not even the good old Alt - Tab.

Is there a plugin or something to restore these windows? I even tried to force Gnome to use only 1 workspace, still same problem.

If Trump’s name is removed, a ‘vital fundraising connection will be severed,’ the center’s chief executive argued

A Trump-Kennedy Center official warned a federal judge that stripping the president’s name from the renowned arts institution would cause unbearable financial damage, marking the latest twist in a months-long legal battle.

Charles Matthew Floca, the center’s 39-year-old executive director, filed a declaration Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing the institution’s funding is inextricably linked to President Donald Trump.

“President Trump’s fundraising on behalf of the Center is exemplified by the tens of millions of dollars already raised,” Floca wrote. “Further, the President has committed to raise $150 billion on its behalf from private donors over the next two years.”

Interesting re-examination of 'The Time Machine' in the light of the Information Revolution. Maybe a stretching of the metaphor, maybe not.
