All the time!

I've woken up smacking myself thinking a spider is crawling on me, and then spend the next 20 minutes trying to convince myself that there's no spider and its safe to fall asleep again.

I had the fire suppression system go off while I was in the datacenter once. Scariest thing knowing all the oxygen is being pushed out of the room by the heavier gas.

I've never moved so quick to the exit as I did then. Took 2 breaths along the way, was extremely light headed for about 5 minutes afterwards.

It went off because HVAC guys were using an angle grinder to cut some ducting only feet away from the intake vent. All the smoke got pulled in and set off the fire alarm.

This.

I just went from Arch to Debian 12 Bookworm. Running the stable branch, but so far most of the packages are rather recent. Kernel is 6.1 instead of 6.4, but I could switch to the Testing or Unstable branch to get the "bleeding edge" packages/kernels if I need to. But honestly so far it's been a real pleasure to use. Everything is just working and is stable.

Finally Done... For Now (lemmy.world)

In January I replaced my 5 year old GTX 1080 Ti with an Asus ROG TUF OC 4090. My old 1080 Ti never had an official waterblock made for it by anyone, so I was never able to incorporate it into my loop. I made sure that whatever model of 4090 I got, it had to have waterblock support from more than just one vendor. I'm finally done with my system. For now anyways. After years of tweaking, upgrades, and loop rebuilds, I'm happy with how it looks, and how it performs.

Specs

  • Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (4 x 8GB)
  • GPU: Asus ROG TUF OC 4090
  • NVMe #1 - 1TB Western Digital Black SN850 (OS & Applications)
  • NVMe #2 - 2TB Western Digital Black SN850X (Steam Library)
  • Corsair Hydro X D5 Pump
  • Alphacool Strix/TUF 4090 Block
  • Optimus PC Foundation AM4 CPU Block
  • 2 x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 360mm Radiator
  • Bitspower fittings

There's a good chance however that next year when the Ryzen 8000 chips come out I'll upgrade my platform to that. But for now I can finally enjoy the months of hard work and waiting for parts.
