My 1440p monitor died on me so I'm looking to upgrade to a 4K monitor, to be used with my home+work laptops, some older game consoles and an aging Linux PC.

The aging PC is the problem: it's an i5-6600 on an Asus B150M-A. It lacks DP and its HDMI port can't do 4k60.

I vaguely recall there being super cheap graphics cards meant for exactly this sort of thing, just a low end GPU with a bunch of ports, but I can't seem to find much, especially not AMD (Linux + Nvidia remains meh)

Suggestions? Perhaps a minimally invasive upgrade to the PC? Or just stick it out at 1440p (non-integer scaling, ugh) until I can upgrade properly?

That was the joke 😅

rsync to an rsync.net account, serves me well

My colleague uses it to generate rambling code, often pointlessly rewriting existing logic to solve all kinds of hallucinated problems, which he doesn't understand a bit, then dumps it on me and acts offended when asked to explain any of it.

Chaotic neutral here

I cycle wallpapers from different OSes, but never the one running. Work W11 laptop has the Debian wallpaper now, OpenBSD laptop the Windows 10 backlit glass one, etc

(I do the same with game character names)

Thanks for reminding me of that comic! Took me some time to find it though

# We check if the server is on by asking the ALU to perform an operation,
$result = 1 + 1;

if ($result == 2) {
	print "Server is ON.\n";
} else {
	print "Server is OFF.\n";
	print "Power on the system before attempting to run any programs!\n";
}

Brilliant

"Never again" is stronger than I'd put it but we probably won't be vacationing in France again because god forbid a guy doesn't want to eat animals.

Edit: for some positivity, I loved every trip to Germany and also Austria, the latter so much in fact that we went to live in Vienna for a short time. If not for my partner I'd move right back.

Even when you get to the actual website results you now have to wade through the AI slop sites

Portable handhelds, I mean form factors like the PSP and Nintendo DS. The downside of the console/handheld convergence is that the handhelds need pretty big screens.
