So I've been falling down some rabbit holes trying to decide what kind of CPU I would like to upgrade my old Skylake i5-6500.

Would be nice to replace it with something that has the same 65W TDP, so I started looking at Ryzen CPUs.

CPU Benchmark has the Ryzen 5 5700X as the best value, but it's AM4 and it would be best to get something on a newer socket.

This brought me to the Ryzen 7 9700X which has a TDP of 65W, is an AM5 socket, and has 8 cores and 16 Threads.

The CPUMark score of the 9700X is 37126 vs the 6500's 5623 😅 It is an almost 10 year old CPU.

Now doing this will require replacing the motherboard, but the bundles MicroCenter has for a pretty good price are ATX Mobos and my current case only supports Micro ATX or smaller. Unbundling and replacing with a Micro ATX mobo raises the price 150 USD...

If I go with an ATX card, I need a new case, and then the Jonsbo N5 isn't looking so bad because even though it's 250 USD shipped, it has plenty of drive bays and room for a lot of shit.

MicroCenter has a massive case with 8 drive bays for 100 USD, but it's white and I don't think it would pass the husband test to replace the black Fractal case which he tolerates.

Proton abandoning Mastodon because of "lack of resources" sounds to me like a shitty excuse. Mastodon is probably where they get the most tags for their recent CEO moves so it's just easier to ignore the users on Mastodon and "nurture relationships" on platforms where they won't be held accountable.

edit: Thanks to someone pointing out this post with their follower count. They left the Social Media where they had the MOST followers

Is there one of those self-hosted archiving services for websites that can pull things from behind paywalls? Say like archive . md but in a way you can keep notes? Kinda like notion but with the ability to pull websites and archive them?

There's a certain kind of drama that just doesn't happen on Mastodon and I'm very thankful for that

This is my energy going forward

Oh, someone built Google's Quick Share for Linux and MacOS

If you're on Instagram, go report this hateful person

So it seems Instagram removes a post from the view of those that reported it, but it's still up for everyone else. Logged in with my account which reported two posts for hateful speech on the left, not logged in on the web on the right

Notice the two missing posts from the left side?

Many others have confirmed the behavior. So next time Instagram tells you a post that violates their policies/guidelines has been removed, they're probably lying.

Yet at the same time they will force Queer people and artists to remove content that is nowhere near as bad as this. Often removing accounts completely.

Fucking liars. I can still see the post when not logged in.

The kids are alright

A lot of the olds are not

Fuck JK Rowling. Remember that buying any Harry Potter related products funds her transphobic and hateful actions like this.
