If it's on the carpet, put it on a plank or something so the psu fan isn't pointing down at it. It's fine otherwise.

I don't understand how GPU pass through works with a hypervisor. If I were to install something like Qubes, would it be possible to pass the GPU through to one of the VMs and have the VM use it for gaming and stuff? Like the program the VM is running will display on the screen but will utilize the passed GPU? With the little I have found on this, people say you would have to dedicate a monitor to it with the physical port directly from the GPU. I know that with laptops that have discrete GPUs you can reserve the GPU use for specific programs. Why can't it operate that way?

>>108930412
afaik at a basic level device passthrough is just the host saying, ok this piece of the computer is owned by the VM, and giving it direct access (and giving up its own access)
GPU passthrough is just giving the VM direct access to that PCIe port, and then the VM does anything it wants while the host effectively gives up that PCIe port entirely

on laptops it's different because it's the same OS managing both GPUs and shit. so it has more control and can do stuff like use both at once selectively (not that different from a desktop that has both a real GPU and an i-GPU)

>>108930412
>I don't understand how GPU pass through works with a hypervisor

>would it be possible to pass the GPU through to one of the VMs and have the VM use it for gaming and stuff?

>Why can't it operate that way?
I wouldn't know how to properly word it but I'll try.
You're oversimplifying memory allocation and how an operating system works.
By using your example, laptops that have a dedicated GPU essentially work in tandem and the OS and the processor can "assign" process to it (of course more is involved).
However, a VM is not just a simple process, is a complete operating system. That being said, one of the main purposes of the hypervisor is to prevent that a VM is able to access the regions of memory of the host that are NOT allocated to it, and this is important because PCI devices require to access memory. So, PCI passthrough essentially maps everything that the PCI device needs to operate so that the VM can make use of it

>>108924562
Mind posting it with levels down, anon?

>>108930412

>>108930464
>>108930489
> So, PCI passthrough essentially maps everything that the PCI device needs to operate so that the VM can make use of it

I understand this is over my head so I am just trying to follow along. My point of confusion comes in where Qubes can display the programs from the VM on its desktop. Anything graphically going on there is being done entirely by the CPU with no GPU available to the VM, not even the integrated one in the processor. All rendering is being done in software. If I were to pass the secondary GPU to the VM, that GPU would now be included in the hardware available to the VM. Why can it not use that hardware to render things the way that it can purely in software like it was doing without the GPU and just display it without the monitor? When I have used cloud based desktops with GPUs available to them I was able to fully utilize* that hardware and accelerate the desktop but I certainly didn't have a monitor directly connected to it. How can the cloud desktop use the GPU to accelerate the desktop without having to output to a monitor like people have claimed is necessary in the scenario I described? Is it that something like IOMMU is necessary for this?

>>108930506
> by the way, you can do passthrough on a laptop as well, I've done it and it's nuts

Like passthrough to a VM and have it take over the screen or just render programs from the VM on the screen?

>>108930412
Typically your host OS uses any device it can. When passing thru some PCIe-device you tell your host OS to stop using it with the regular drivers and use a special VM-pass-thru driver instead.
>>108927321
Does the update provide any essential bug fixes? One shouldn't updoot BIOSes just for the lulz.

>>108930576
Let's see
> How can the cloud desktop use the GPU to accelerate the desktop without having to output to a monitor like people have claimed is necessary in the scenario I described?
I don't really know what feature your cloud provider uses but it seems that it is using a virtualized GPU, which is what you might be thinking and is different than passthrough even though it provides acceleration, with this setup the hypervisor creates a "virtual GPU" so the VM doesn't see your actual GPU but the virtual one, and, the hypervisor will use your actual GPU's features to accelerate it, rendering the VM content in your actual screen without needing an external monitor. This is usable for normal desktop but falls short at running 3D intensive process like games and the like, plus it isn't always compliant with DX/GL that games mandate. Passthrough is considerably faster, near native I can say
>Is it that something like IOMMU is necessary for this?

It's so unfair how much more work you have to do in Computer Science compared to any other degree. I'll spend 4 hours on a programming issue and that's just the tip of the iceberg, while in business or economics you would get a whole paper written in that time. Then you also need a github portfolio to get a job on top of the hours you already spend on college projects. There are no portfolios in business, economics or even architecture or any form of engineering. And the pay as an SWE is barely different than these other fields. Like bankers make more than SWE.

There will be a range of vulnerable versions: the bug leading to the vulnerability will have been introduced at some point, and will have been fixed in a very recent release (or in the very near future). All installs within the vulnerable range will be at risk.
In practice sometimes vulnerabilities are discovered fast and then it's "if you haven't updated/installed it in the last 3-4 months you're safe". With a headline like this, though, it makes it sound like it's a very old issue that probably affects the vast majority of versions in use. To fix you'd need to see which version has fixed the issue and update at least to that version asap.

>>108932915

>and I’ve not gone to 7zips website -if they have one - to see when it was last updated
This information was thankfully provided to you in your own link, so that at least is known.

>My 7 zip install is like 6 years old.
It may or may not be safe, 7zip itself is quite old software so it's entirely possible the bug is older than that still. Note that a 6 year old version may also have other bugs with more or less serious vulnerabilities that have long since been fixed - normally 7zip doesn't have a history of major issues like this, but 6 years is a long time.

>>108933666
100km is very close IMO. ISPs hand out public databases for their IP blocks and your block is placed where ever the 100km away is, it's not like every IP is individually located. It would be a gigantic task for the ISP and any typical private customer don't have a static IP to begin with.
(and no, even if you had the same IP for 20 years doesn't technically make it static unless the infrastructure is built like that (actual real deal 100% guaranteed static IPs are for business customers))
>>108933488

Why does my router say I have a dynamic IP address but it never actually changes and I have the same IP now that I had several months ago despite the router restarting many times over that period?

>>108934190
Static means your account is allocated a specific IP and you are pretty much given a guarantee that it won't change
Dynamic means that they have a system to automatically allocate IPs in whatever way they prefer. It's possible (and not uncommon) that the system has a cache that lives for a while and keeps allocating the same IP to your router every time. Maybe if you turn off your router for like a day it would change, or maybe if you buy a different router or override the MAC address or something it could change.
It's still not static simply because there is no IP that your ISP has explicitly told you is yours. They could reallocate it at any time, or change their internal setup at any time to make it reallocate a lot more often, etc.

When the IP is acquired via DHCP it's called dynamic. The thing here to understand is the dynamic between the router's MAC and the ISP's DHCP servers.

>>108934190
your ISP ultimately controls how many IP addresses you can get. ask them if your connection is allowed dynamic IP addesses

>>108934190
>Why does my router say I have a dynamic IP address
That just means it was assigned via DHCP. Technically they can send a command to your router to tell it to change IPs, but that doesn't mean they will.

Cable ISPs like to assign IP addresses by router MAC. Which typically doesn't change unless you change it manually. They may change your IP as part of a network reorg, but it can stay the same for years. Others may have their own way of doing things; there's no special significance to it.

My GPU is locked pretty tight, allegedly needing messing with BIOS via flashing to unlock it for undervolting/underpowering purposes and I'm not going to try doing that because I suck at everything IT.
But I discovered that I can lock frequency or voltage at certain level in curve editor. I have read that you're not supposed to do that outside testing, but monitoring shows that frequency(and thus, wattage) can fall below locked value if processing demand is lower.
That's literally the only thing I can do when it comes to controlling TDP. Is there any danger involved?

Fine for me, your cookies lost trust
I think they are really tightening the trust settings. A little while ago I lost all ability to phonepost, whether in the browser or kuroba, because I didn't use to do it very often so I didn't have good cookies. Apparently if you copy good desktop cookies into kuroba it works for other people (I can't be bothered though).
Thankfully my desktop cookies are of a good quality so I don't really have issues. However even then I've noticed that I get "V erification not required." a lot more seldom than before - it used to be that captchas were an occasional extra test and most posts would get "not required", nowadays I have to solve a captcha probably at least 50% of the time, so the "not required" has become an occasional pleasant surprise rather than the norm. Still, I only get a single captcha when I do.

>>108934321

>>108935566
Other than importing good cookies, can I just keep at it and gain "trust"?

>>108935715
I have no idea. I don't know if anybody knows. I've seen people complain that their captchas are just fucked no matter how much they post, so maybe not. Who knows what the fuck hiro is doing.

Also I'm a fucking autist who makes easily a couple dozen posts per day, basically every single day, for years meaning definitely since the very start of this new system, and I pretty much never get banned or warned. And my IPs are not shared with any other shitposters, nor are my cookies obviously. And I'm still getting very regular (single) captchas, more than I used to even like I said, and it's not like it's getting better over time. Given their immense autism with trusted cookies and shit, their layer of cloudflare and then spur and MCP botnets, all to validate and trust a specific browser, one would imagine they'd be able to actually identify normal posters who aren't part of a proxy and don't spam or post bannable shit and deserve to have fewer captchas. Apparently they are either incompetent or simply do not care whatsoever about their users, so instead we get fingerprinting, tracking and anal probing, but then still have to fill out captchas on top of it because lmao.
