    Thor from Pirate Software (a game studio) does this. He has his set up so that if he doesn’t log into a specific server for a year, the source code to his game will be automatically published.

    You could do the same thing. Just grab a super cheap server that checks the last login date and sends out emails.


  • While I agree with your sentiment, this is a terrible take.

    There is always a reason for saying no, whether you want to share it or not. But that takes a backseat here because it’s an open-ended question.

    You’ve answered in a very closed minded way and refused to elaborate on your position, therefore your opinion can easily be thrown away due to lack of evidence. At that point, why comment at all?






  • It’s been 4 years since I built my last one, but I still think it holds true.

    I’ve heard Intel chips still run hot, especially the 14th Gen i9. However, I came across this article by Puget Systems (a system integrator who mainly deals with professional workstations rather than gaming rigs) who found that decreasing the PL1, which I assume means Power Level, from 253W to 125W was a good enough tradeoff for performance/heat that it’s the default configuration they ship to their customers.

    On the other hand, they still do mention that tasks such as UE light baking, V-Ray, Cinebench, and Blender saw gains of 10-18% when using the higher power limit, which seems much more like what OP’s workload is. Puget then proceed to recommend a CPU with a higher core count like a Threadripper PRO for those kinds of workloads, so perhaps OP really would be better off going AMD for their workstation.
