looking into it, seems like you’re actually right. looks like it runs best with a solid GPU. there may be other distributed computing projects better suited for abundant RAM.

apparently enjoying hot water is common in east Asia

the folk explanation is that it’s a holdover from when water always needed to be boiled before drinking to kill microbes

the west (mainly Europe) didn’t get that message and decided to purify water by making nearly all of it into beer, which explains a lot lol

Fold At Home!

You can essentially donate your processing power to various science projects that need it to compute protein folding simulations. I used to run it whenever I wasn’t actively using my PC. This does cost electricity and increase rate of wear and tear on the device, as with any sustained high computational load. But it’s cool! :]

me who uses Debian at home but SUSE at work: why is the work computer cooler? :[

(tbf the work computer is objectively cooler because it controls a really sciencey machine but still)

this was wonderfully written!
