Do you think he was holding back?

At the start of the fight, Adam easily restricts Providence, then basically doesn't fight you, if you just do nothing, Adam never seems to attack. He only might attack rarely when you attack him, and even then it's like one light attack.

After all that attacking by Eve, and him not even seemingly blocking, he seems totally okay.

Afterwards, providence keeps attacking him, and its attacks basically do nothing, they are all easily blocked without Adam even getting up or moving. With a swap of his hand, Adam knocks both Providence and Eve a good distance away.

Then he basically zips to and one-shots providence, a unit that gave Eve real trouble, and he does this without harming Lily at that, a feat even more impressive (granted, she was holding back due to Lily being inside and not using angel powers, but still, and Angel powers come from Adam anyways), then easily dodges Eve's attack afterwards.

And he does all this prior to transforming, so even without transforming, he seems really powerful.

So do you think, Adam could've beat Eve (tbf, even without transforming) but didn't?

How would you think Albedo would have acted if she was mind-controlled?

Instead of Shalltear.

Considering it's in her programming to be madly in love with Ainz.

Back in the day of no internet or very slow internet, with games being all played on discs, how were updates handled?

Did games never get updated? Did updates come and you bought new discs to play them?

IPv6 address space too small?

Okay, so you might think there are 2¹²⁸ ip addresses, that's a lot, right?

Except, the minimum subnet that would still work with auto-configuration, is /64. That leaves only 2⁶⁴ individual blocks to be given to each entity.

Also in practice, it's a lot of times /56 or /48, so that leaves even less.

Now out of those left, many are addresses that are unusable, and I honestly am not sure how to do the math on them. Someone should do the math, and tell me how much it ends up in practice.

Also one person/organization can have many many subscriptions to different providers, all giving them different blocks of IPv6.

Now you might say, despite all that, it's plenty. How plenty though? Is it still plenty in a couple of decades? In a hundred years? If we go to space and have multiple planets, is it still plenty?

What if we span across the galaxy?

But even before all that, we might hit problems in some years.

See, it's either way small, and considering how much of a pain it has been to switch from IPv4 tp IPv6, one can imagine, how much more of a pain it could be to switch again, when IPv6 is even more widespread and integrated than IPv4 was when IPv6 came out.

We could've had a 2²⁵⁶ address space, or we could've not designed IPv6 to require such huge blocks (half of the whole address space) to be reserved to be given to each customer, along with the (many?) other ways we use up the address space.

If an object delivers all colors of light, but does one color much more, would still be viewed as white or the other color?

For example, the sun is white (in space) but it outputs green more (how much more?), but we still see it as white.

Why do not need to bind a browser to VPN interface for it to not leak on Linux?

One thing I've noticed is that, a torrent client can try an alternate interface if the VPN doesn't work, leaking your IP accidentally. But a browser doesn't and gives a connection error I think.

Kyubey has plenty of emotions

Kyubey claims to have no emotions, yet, he clearly has emotions. It is impossible for a being to not have emotions yet still do... anything. To begin with, his stated goal is to prevent the heat death of the universe.

But why would he come to care about that without emotions? There is a sort of sense of preservation that he seems to care about, and some sense of morality too based on his talk with Madoka.

At various points, we do see signs of him being shocked or frustrated, like when Madoka is about to become a magical girl, we can even hear him gasping.

Or how he seems frustrated with human behavior and is supposedly venting.

We even see the more greedy side of him, when he isn't satisfied with the current law of cycles and wants to change it again even though it should supposedly work fine as it is and there would be no need to take the risk to mess it up.

What are the limits to wishes?

We get told towards the end of the series that apparently there is something called karmic destiny, and Kyubey implies that the wish you get is only gonna be as strong as that allows it to be (he tells Madoka that she will likely be able to get her wish no matter how enormous it is).

Yet at the same time, we've never seen Kyubey refuse a wish, and the way he phrases it, it makes it seem like he can grant any girl's wish, whatever it is.

What do the different PBO settings mean?

There is disabled, which I think should be clear, then there's Auto, which is ???, then there's enabled, then there are a bunch of other ones like Enhanced Mode 1, Enhanced Mode 2, Enhanced Mode Boost 1, etc.

Motherboard is B650 Tomahawk WiFi.

Weird stuff with CPU clock speed

So I've been monitoring my clock speed, and noting it down using s-tui.

What I've noticed is that the average clock speed across all 24 threads is lower while not stressed and higher while stress, which should make sense (compare 3400 vs 4000Mhz). CPU utilization is close to 100% during the stress test (option s-tui stress, idk what the other one is).

Temperatures are lower here (imagine 60-70c). IDK if being put under stress meaningfully changes the temps.

But here is the part where it gets weird, while gaming when GPU utilization is at 100%, despite the CPU usage being not really high (think around 10-20%), the average clock speed of the CPU goes way higher than when under stress (around 4900-5000 Mhz).

Also while this is happening, the CPU temperature is higher, because of the hot air from the GPU if I have to guess (around 85-95c).

Now here if I do the CPU stress test, this results in a lower clock speeds (average around 3800Mhz) than before, but as soon as I stop the stress test, clock speed goes up again.

The temperature doesn't seem to meaningfully change during this (so still around 85-95c).

One would think there is some thermal throttling going on, but like I said, for one during, the highest CPU clock is actually when the CPU is hotter (when gaming), but it's usage much lower.

And when gaming and doing a CPU stress test, the temperatures don't meaningfully change, and the result is kinda immediate, there is no waiting for temperature to change much.

For what it matters CPU is AMD Ryzen 9 7900.

It's worth mentioning that the entire New World setting we've been introduced is just one continent

Sure, we know Nazarick is really strong as far as power goes in that continent.

But do we know what's out there in other continents? There might as well be stuff rivaling their power.

Maybe even some players that went there.

There were TDLs who are pretty strong in this continent, but a lot of them died.

Who says other continents don't have such creatures themselves too? Maybe even stronger?

How would one go about setting up something like GPT image?

You know, I can give it descriptions, modifications, and images just in regular language and it knows what to do.

Unlike say, setting up ComfyUI.

Can dd be used to get the img file written (using dd) into a USB drive back?

So for example if i do:

dd if=/home/test/test.img of=/dev/sda

I can get the img on the drive.

But then if I do

dd if=/dev/sda of=/home/test/test.img

I get a file the size of the whole USB drive, not the initial img file.

Properly isolating vrt-manager KVM Linux guest?

So, by default it seems like things like clipboard are shared, and while I can probably remove by removing the devices, would that lead to full isolation?
