  1. alright. since I am using my home server more seriously, it desperately needed a ram upgrade. the original 8GB (2x4) are falling short...

    also, I originally got the computer with a gtx560ti GPU, which linux kernel 6.5x (or so) no longer supports. given that I am running jellyfin, that means i haven't been able to use hardware transcoding.

    that ends today.

    i just finished installing 32GB (4x8) RAM, and a RTX4060 GPU. bear in mind that the mobo is Sandy Bridge based, so there's a limit on which hardware I am able to use, yet for a home server it should get the job done.

  7. Microsoft says your PC can't run Windows 11? Don't toss it yet!

    A new article suggests you might be able to force the upgrade anyway, even if Windows Update declares your machine 'incompatible'. Who's ready to bend the rules a bit and get their hands dirty for a free OS upgrade?

  8. Microsoft says your Windows 10 PC is 'incompatible' with Windows 11? Pfft. Apparently, those requirements are more like 'guidelines.' You can still get the free upgrade!

    Who needs official compatibility when you have workarounds, right? What's the sneakiest tech workaround you've ever pulled off to get something done?
