I use the new PE version since it's still maintained and has had something to fix any of my problems so far.

Hiren's boot CD

It's a small ISO with tons of utilities on it. It's great for recovering data if shit goes really south. I always have one handy.

Edit: toss it onto your ventoy stick

Same - I'm very curious as to what it is and how it's used.

I hate the jargon used in some of these app descriptions.

example: "Enhance workflow with integrated collaboration and intelligent software agents to automate your processes."

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU DO

They have moderators that can remove anything.

And all recipes use iron except for like 2 of them

I used these a bunch in some jungle training. Any petroleum based jellies worked great, so we used bacitracin packets as our additive.

Fun fact: dead bamboo will always be dry in the middle between two joints. You can split it up into a couple thin pieces and it makes great kindling.

Live bamboo will create a small pressure bomb.

Money isn't too tight - I have a $250 Amazon credit right now to use on whatever.

I'd really prefer to upgrade the CPU because it's already overclocked and still struggling. When I host a game like Space Engineers, I get massive lag spikes as it tries to keep up.

The CPU is just not enough for what I would like to do.

Seconding Control. It's an absolutely amazing game. Very creepy vibes in most of the game but not quite horror.

For those curious but not willing to watch:
The BMP starts cooking off immediately and a crew member tries to bail. He climbs out, fully engulfed in flames, and falls into more fire - I think it's what used to be the ammo store.

Yes, Plex transcoding is awful. Hardware transcodes aren't possible on that build because I have nothing that supports it. The earliest QuickSync capable Intel chips are the 8000 series.

CPU and RAM are consistently >90%. It's mostly qbittorrent doing that by caching files I'm seeding.

Game servers are mostly stable but Plex struggles if it's transcoding (necessary due to video file types and who I'm streaming to).

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Just double checked and the 13400 is 65W just like the 5600x, which has no iGPU. I know AM4 and DDR4 would greatly reduce the cost of this upgrade but I'd like this to last as long as possible for me.

I'd really like to utilize Intel QuickSync. Anything not capable of that is a deal breaker for me.

For torrenting, AirVPN is better for port forwarding.

A good VPN for torrenting would be AirVPN, as they offer port forwarding.

whooosh

Check ipleak.net to see if there's identifiable info coming through. Use their torrent check as well.

Just to flip the perspective a bit on the whole military divorce rate thing: There's also a huge incentive to get married in the first place. Getting married gets you Basic Allowance for Housing which is a monthly stipend for the average cost of living in your zip code. This is a couple thousand bucks a month just for getting a marriage certificate.

You also get to bring your spouse with you to other duty stations when you inevitably have to move.
