Nothing humbles you quite like installing an Arctic Liquid Freezer III on an MSI MEG Godlike. The clearance between that massive pump and the VRM heatsinks is measured in micrometers.
Also, friendly reminder to anyone using contact frames: ditch the microfiber cloths under the motherboard. Static discharge near the socket SMD capacitors is a silent killer. Use the factory anti-static foam pad.What’s the most stressful cooler installation you’ve ever survived?

The solution that worked:
"security.pam.services.doas = {
u2fAuth = true;
}"
Adding this into your configuration file will ensure that doas uses u2f authentication... I'm dumb :neocat_cry_loud: -

Wow! I’ve been following @emilyyoung for years, and I’ve learned more about her in 20 minutes than the many hours I’ve spent watching her on #LinuxTechTips.
Perception is a wild thing: both of yourself and others.

E Ink monitors present an interesting value proposition for folks looking for a paper-like reading environment... as long as you don't are about super-slow screen refresh rates, ghosting, and limited colors. Here's a Dasung Paperlike 253 U first look video. https://buff.ly/3ZCrUpm #LinuxTechTips #DasungPaperLike253U #DasungPaperLike #EInkMonitor #EPaper

Ok I have to admit there are probably tons of tech "shows" or video magazines on the internet and one might argue about the good, the bad and the ugly. Not sure why but I sometimes watch "Linus Tech Tips".
I stumbled across a "behind the scene" video with iJustine which absolutely blew my mind to see what he has at his disposal. Absolutely sick and I am nerding out right now with split feelings about this.
In case you're interested, watch.
