• I believe my hamster is sweeping
• I believe my pig is whistling
• you don’t have all cups in the cupboard

Yeah sorry, forgot to mention the actual meaning :) But I can add some more:

• My dear Mister singing club
• shit at the wall
• one has seen horses puke Maybe I’ll remember some more with good English “translations”.

Something else I just remember is a discussion between Erasmus students (Erasmus is a student exchange program in Europe, so you study for a semester in another country, ergo that group was quiet diverse) about how you call very strong rain: German: is raining cow shit (although that might be local, because those phrases often differ quiet much between German dialects) British: is raining cats and dogs Greek: is raining the legs of Zeus I don’t remember the others… But anyway… what is the deal with English speakers and cats??? A lot of languages have a proverb like “many paths lead to Rome”… But in English apparently it is “there are many ways to skin a cat”… dafuq?

Reminds me on a German proverb “to add your mustard to it”, which apparently came from a time at which mustard was rare and exquisite. So they added it to any kind of food just to “up it’s prestige”.

My cat is now eating his medicine out of my hand, because he knows he will get a treat afterwards. You just need to have something they really crave.

Massless objects always move at the speed of light (photos are massless). More important here is, that easy is not on a uniform motion, but rotating around sun, which is rotating around… So even if they remain in their last motion, their path would cover from earth… But motion relative to what? The only special frame of inertia is the cosmic background, and that statement is still under debate

LLM are used particularly to process big amounts of text. I remember my first encounter with it in 2009, somebody giving a talk about observing topics on Twitter, e.g. to track the source of fake news or figure out why some particular topic became viral.

You might already be using it regularly with a translation tool. Yesterday I just saw a foss app called receipt-wrangler, which uses LLM to parse shopping receipts, because a simple scan and ocr would still leave you with a highly unstructured heap of text, which is hard to parse into anything useful.

I’m very happy with my ASRock N100 (either m or DC). It has sufficient performance for my needs (proxmox with opnsense, jellyfin and various other services) while using very little power

I find it increasingly hard to find decent stuff without that.

Are you a Disney princess?

Nix is on my infinitely long list of stuff to get into, when I’m in better shape.

I really like the idea, but for my purpose an open case is a no-go. It’s for my Homeserver and I have two hyper active cats ;) but I was already thinking to get some kind of skeleton like this and put someone around. Is this applicable for micro ATX Mainboards?

I heard that concern already, but had troubles finding something decent without blowing my wallet… the problem was obviously the search filters on the website, which I used… looking for the name, you provided I instantly found something really decent, which actually turned out cheaper Oo

ok, thanks. yes I noticed the realtek nic, but unfortunately I haven’t found a single MB with an intel chip below 200euro. So if this really causes issues, I’ll just get a PCIe NIC

RAM is not PCIe, so that is an independent question, whether to go for DDR5. Unfortunately I am not deep enough into the matter to give you a real answer to your question

thank you for the input and the references, this is highly appreciated!

• The concerns for the motherboard I am already looking into, do you have any thoughts on the ASRock B650M PG LIGHTNING, or the ASRock B650 PG LIGHTNING? latter is unfortunately not in stock, but besides the missing heatsink on top and the size I also do not really see a practical difference between the two
• it was funny to me, that nobody commented on the ram yet, that was literally the cheapest I found for the MB. So I can try to reiterate that part
• concerning monitor I was recently very lucky. I friend of mine fried his own and bought a new one, then he ask me, if I want to have it in order to try to fix it. Turned out the internal PSU was fried… so I tossed it out, soldered a barrel jack to the input wires and now use a 20euro external PSU. its a 1440p monitor with 165Hz.

they are a bit more pricy, but not much, so I changed that, thanks :)

I went with .home and so far the problems are within reason

that is a good point, our flat is in an older house and feels like we need to vacuum every day… not speaking of the two meowing furrballs roaming around… that bringts me to another important case-related topic… I’ll never again buy a case in which the power buttons are on top… one of my cat was walking over the case and his paw was still small enough to press the power button… in the middle of a dota match… at least it lead to a good story

the one I listed checked all boxes, good thing to look for, for my last one I still needed to have an obsolete windows partition…
