I like my current big 27" monitors, but sometimes i just kinda want to make a multimonitor setup out of of older 4:3 LCDs -

Did you know:
You can make your own git “command” by just having a program or script prefixed with git- inside your $PATH like so:
norm@mikoto:~$ cat ~/bin/git-hello #!/usr/bin/env python3 print("Hello") norm@mikoto:~$ git hello Hello -

There's this one building that's been seemingly abandoned for over a decade now and people are just plastering posters all over it.
It used to be some sort of condo sales center afaik -

Part of me is kinda glad the US is now starting to get kicked off its pedestal but I'm also unsure how I feel about what may come next -

I really need to remember to charge my phone before leaving the house
Goes to show how infrequently I go out I guess -

@allison @ezio @koakuma just tried it now in an emulated pentium mmx machine and for some reason it doesn't want to actually detect the hard disk drive or cdrom
sounds like it'll be quite the uphill battle to get it working -

Hate it when I try to look for something, only to forget what I was looking for in the first place -

Starting with the ASUS.
Pros:
- Cheapest board of the three ATM ($370 CAD)
- Has the most USB-A ports, and most are 10 Gbps
- No lane sharing between M.2 and PCIe slots, GPU will have 16 lanes no matter what
Cons:
- No USB4
- Uses debug LEDs instead of a post code display
- Wifi 6E only (but to be fair I don't have a WiFi 7 network, plus I use Ethernet, speaking of which...)
- Uses the Intel i225 ethernet chipset, which has a history of stability issues. Not really clear if those have been fixed or not.
- ASUS warranty is also not the best from what I've heard so I'm probably on my own if this breaks it seems. -

Narrowed down my motherboard choices to these three models:
Gonna make a post for each board detailing the pros/cons from my perspective.

Next the Gigabyte.
Pros:
- Cheaper than the MSI
- Has a post code display
- Not hearing about as many customer support complains as with ASUS
- Seems to have the most stable BIOS based on reports
- Has USB4 ports with 4 lanes allocated to them at all times
- Has WiFi 7
- Aorus styling is probably the best of the three IMO
Cons:
- Two of the M.2s share lanes with the main x16 slot, so using all of them will result in the GPU only having 8 lanes
- Less USB ports than the ASUS; with 4 being 2.0 only. I don't mind 2 ports being 2.0 for the mouse and KB, but 4 is a bit excessive
- ITE SuperIO chip might not be as well supported with lm-sensors in Linux (though it seems the it87 driver does support the specific chip this board uses so it might not be that bad)
- A bit more pricey than the ASUS ($425 CAD atm) -

Finally the MSI
Pros:
- No lane sharing with the x16 PCIE slot
- New MSI BIOS looks pretty nice
- Has three USB C ports (2x USB4, and 1x 10 gbps)
- Wifi 7 is apparently a bit better than Gigabyte's; not that I would be able to take advantage of that
- Has 5 Gbps LAN (RTL8126) vs the Gigabyte (2.5G RTL8125B) or the Asus (2.5G i225)
- Uses a Nuvoton SuperIO that is well supported in Linux
Cons:
- Lane sharing with USB4 ports and one of the m.2 slots
- Green accents are a bit weird, coming from the grey X570 board I'm currently using
- Most expensive ($460 CAD)
- Some sporadic reports of instability with the X870 version of this board, unsure if this also extends to the X870E and to what extent
- Has the least USB-A ports available on top of having the same 4 USB 2.0 ports as the Gigabyte
