Do a search for you server OS + STIG

Then, for each service you’re hosting on that server, do a search for:

Service/Program name + STIG/Benchmark

There’s tons of work already done by the vendors in conjunction with the DoD (and CIS) to create lists of potential vulnerable settings that can be corrected before deploying the server.

Along with this, you can usually find scripts and/or Ansible playbooks that will do most of the hardening for you. Though it’s a good Idea to understand what you do and do not need done.

Reminds me of Coffee Stain Studio’s trailer for the release of Goat MMO Simulator:

I would check two things:

1. Is it a QLED tv? Those are very efficient with the backlight power. QLED only have a blue led backlight and the “quantum dots” in the panel between the backlight and the LCD panel absorb the blue light and emit the red green and blue needed to create the full color spectrum.

2. How many nits of brightness does it produce? I’d check for the specific model on RTINGS. It won’t help OP much if the TV is efficient, but so dim that it’s unusable in their case.

Reflectivity also helps with brightness when viewed in a bright room. The less reflective (matte) the less brightness the TV needs to overcome distracting light sources reflecting on the screen.

Edit: Had to look it up to be sure, normal LED panels use filters that filter red, green, and blue light from a white light source. This means roughly 1/3 of the light from the backlight is filtered away, hence the energy inefficiency vs QLED which uses the energy from the blue light to create the colors.

Intestingly, some DLP projectors use alternating red, green, and blue light sources which strobe on the DLP chip which takes turns modulating the intensity of each color. Less efficient (and bright) DLPs use a single white light source and a color wheel (rotating color filter).

How old is this house?

In 1971, the US National Electrical Code (NEC) required grounded receptacles in all locations of the home (effective January 1, 1974).

You can check with a $6 electrical receptical tester.

It could be that the electrical system was grounded to the waterlines that enter the house (those should definitely be copper).

Kinda looks like ARK but with Pokemon… Interesting

The ball is in the DEA’s court. Some say it should be rescheduled by Spring:

How long the DEA might take to form a response is an open question, though experts told MJBizDaily that an initial proposed rule could be issued by the end of the year and the process finalized by next spring.

What the DEA cannot do is reject the HHS recommendation outright, said Howard Sklamberg, who once served as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s top enforcement official.

This means marijuana’s days as a Schedule 1 drug are ending. It’s only a matter of when.

It’s a 15 year old reference:

“I can’t believe what a bunch of nerds we are… we’re looking up money laundering in a dictionary”.

Even better, find someone who talks in an American accent who wants to speak in your old accent.

Agree to bump into each other hard in front of your friends, when you get up, switch accents.

Alternative, celebrate your birthday together and each can wish for the others accent.

Also, server side anti-cheat computation costs the gaming company money.

Though you’d think some forms of cheating would be computationally inexpensive to detect, like teleporting and such.

It depends on when you were around and reading geeky news sites. FUD came up often on Slashdot in relation to Microsoft:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty,_and_doubt#Microsoft

and the SCO v. IBM section are relevant.

The surprising part is the price. Baby colognes have been in a thing in other countries (the ones I’ve seen have a lemony scent). Example:

As someone who stopped playing between the enhanced FSD events and the new xeno stuff, thank you!

“Print Recipe” works better when available. That puts the ingredients and steps in one page (usually).

You can also print it to PDF if it’s a recipe you want to keep.

For the Quest 2, the ideal setup is a dedicated (but inexpensive) router for wireless communicating with the headset. Last I looked a few specific models of semi-generic $50 routers were tested by the community.

Then you can either run your PC lan connection through that router or if you have a second Ethernet connection, use one just for that router.

Frametimes is the specific measure.

<11.1ms for 90Hz or <8.33ms for 120Hz

If the game, experience, or whatever breaches that minimum frame time frequently, then you can experience nausea just from moving your head around.

It does require some sacrifices like turning shadows down a notch or two in some game engines and choosing additional visual effects carefully. Some visual effects require additional computation passes and can add the the frame time.

A low latency CPU (like the AMD 3D cache CPUs) or a normal mid to high end CPU with fast memory with good timings helps quite a bit.

The GPU should be capable of pushing the pixels and shading for the target resolution. Even with a 6900xt I’ve been able to comfortably push over 4500x3000 per eye rendering (enough to get a nice anti-aliasimg effect on my Pimax 8kX at the “normal” 150 degree H.FoV) in most games.

Surprisingly, fidelity FX can help as well (the non-temporal version).

adding a virtual nose decreased motion sickness significantly

Behold, the VR headset of the future!
