u/Supersi15_

Ho 14 anni sono 170 cm e peso 71 kg ma riesco a fare a malapena 2 flessioni e pochi addominali e le trazioni neanche a sognarmele

aiuti?

Ciao a tutti! Ho 14 anni, sono uno studente italiano e sto mettendo insieme il mio primo desktop. Sto imparando Linux in profondità (il mio obiettivo è creare una distro custom basata su Arch) e mi sto avvicinando anche alla cybersecurity (TryHackMe, HackTheBox, CTF). Ho già un laptop (HP 340S G7, i5-1035G1, 16GB RAM) che terrò come macchina secondaria. Questa build è stata pianificata con l'aiuto di Claude (AI di Anthropic). Posto qui per avere un'opinione da chi costruisce PC sul serio!

OS: Dual boot, EndeavourOS con KDE Plasma (principale) + Windows (secondario)

A cosa mi serve: Primario: Lab cybersecurity, VM multiple (Kali + target Windows + macchine vulnerabili), HackTheBox, TryHackMe, CTF. Secondario: Programmazione, studio, uso generico. Terziario: Gaming occasionale. Estetica: RGB gaming con vetro temperato.

La build (\~1425€):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 \~230€

Dissipatore: Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 RGB \~20€

Scheda madre: ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi \~125€

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30 \~220€

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB \~290€

SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe \~150€

Case: Deepcool CC560 (vetro temperato + 4 ventole ARGB) \~65€

Alimentatore: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650W V2 FM \~85€

Monitor: Gigabyte G27Q 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS \~180€

Cavo: DisplayPort 1.4 \~10€

Tastiera: Keychron V1 RGB ISO Italian \~50€

TOTALE: \~1425€

Mouse già posseduto: Logitech MX Master 3S

Ragionamento: Ryzen 7 7700 invece del 7600: per VM multiple i core extra fanno la differenza. 64GB in 2x32GB: fondamentali per lab cybersecurity complessi, 2x32GB invece di 4x16GB per stabilità memory controller Ryzen 7000. RTX 4060 invece di AMD: dual boot Windows + CUDA per Hashcat 2-3x più veloce di OpenCL. Samsung 990 Pro: DRAM cache dedicata, i drive DRAM-less usano HMB dalla RAM sotto carico VM. PSU Full Modular: cable management pulito con vetro temperato. Dissipatore aftermarket: stock copre la RAM RGB, il Thermalright è compatto e mantiene 10-15°C in meno.

Domande: 1) RTX 4060 errore su EndeavourOS? Meglio AMD per driver open-source anche perdendo CUDA? 2) 650W sufficienti per futuri upgrade? 3) Problemi compatibilità RAM 6000MHz CL30 EXPO con questa scheda madre? 4) Manca qualcosa per cybersecurity? (So che serve Alfa AWUS036ACS per pentesting wireless) 5) Alternative migliori a prezzi simili?

PC assemblato da Roma Computer Center. Prezzi stimati su [Amazon.it](http://Amazon.it) e Trovaprezzi. Budget originale 1200€, salito a 1425€ ottimizzando per cybersecurity.

Hey! I'm a 14-year-old Italian student putting together my first desktop. I'm learning Linux deeply (goal: build my own custom Arch-based distro) and getting into cybersecurity (TryHackMe, HackTheBox, CTFs). I have a laptop (HP 340S G7, i5-1035G1, 16GB RAM) as secondary machine. This build was planned with Claude (Anthropic's AI) and I'm posting here for a second opinion from real builders!

OS: Dual boot, EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma (primary) + Windows (secondary, for tools that require it)

Use case: Primary: Cybersecurity labs, multiple VMs simultaneously (Kali + Windows target + vulnerable machines), HackTheBox, TryHackMe, CTFs. Secondary: Programming, studying, general use. Tertiary: Occasional gaming. Aesthetic: RGB gaming look with tempered glass.

Build (~1425€):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 ~230€

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 RGB ~20€

Motherboard: ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi ~125€

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30 ~220€

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB ~290€

SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 ~150€

Case: Deepcool CC560 (tempered glass + 4 ARGB fans) ~65€

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650W V2 FM (Full Modular) ~85€

Monitor: Gigabyte G27Q 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS ~180€

Cable: DisplayPort 1.4 ~10€

Keyboard: Keychron V1 RGB ISO Italian ~50€

TOTAL: ~1425€

Mouse already owned: Logitech MX Master 3S

Reasoning: Ryzen 7 7700 over 7600: extra 2 cores matter for multiple VMs. 64GB in 2x32GB: essential for complex cybersecurity labs, chose 2x32GB over 4x16GB for Ryzen 7000 memory controller stability. RTX 4060 over AMD: dual boot Windows + CUDA for Hashcat 2-3x faster than OpenCL. Samsung 990 Pro: dedicated DRAM cache, DRAM-less drives steal HMB from system RAM under VM load. Full Modular PSU: clean cable management with tempered glass. Aftermarket cooler: stock blocks RAM RGB, Thermalright is compact and keeps temps 10-15°C lower.

Questions: 1) Is RTX 4060 a mistake on EndeavourOS? Should I switch to AMD for open-source drivers even losing CUDA? 2) Is 650W enough for future upgrades? 3) Any RAM compatibility concerns at 6000MHz CL30 EXPO with this motherboard? 4) Am I missing anything for cybersecurity? (I know I'll need Alfa AWUS036ACS for wireless pentesting) 5) Any better alternatives at similar price points?

PC assembled by local shop Roma Computer Center. Prices approximate Italian market (Amazon.it + Trovaprezzi). Original budget 1200€, grew to 1425€ optimizing for cybersecurity workflow.

(I know I'll need Alfa AWUS036ACS for wireless pentesting) 5) Any better alternatives at similar price points?

PC assembled by local shop Roma Computer Center. Prices approximate Italian market (Amazon.it + Trovaprezzi). Original budget 1200€, grew to 1425€ optimizing for cybersecurity workflow.

Hey! I'm a 14-year-old Italian student putting together my first desktop. I'm learning Linux deeply (goal: build my own custom Arch-based distro) and getting into cybersecurity (TryHackMe, HackTheBox, CTFs). I have a laptop (HP 340S G7, i5-1035G1, 16GB RAM) as secondary machine. This build was planned with Claude (Anthropic's AI) and I'm posting here for a second opinion from real builders!

OS: Dual boot, EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma (primary) + Windows (secondary, for tools that require it)

Use case: Primary: Cybersecurity labs, multiple VMs simultaneously (Kali + Windows target + vulnerable machines), HackTheBox, TryHackMe, CTFs. Secondary: Programming, studying, general use. Tertiary: Occasional gaming. Aesthetic: RGB gaming look with tempered glass.

Build (~1425€):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 ~230€

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 RGB ~20€

Motherboard: ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi ~125€

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30 ~220€

GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060 8GB ~290€

SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 ~150€

Case: Deepcool CC560 (tempered glass + 4 ARGB fans) ~65€

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650W V2 FM (Full Modular) ~85€

Monitor: Gigabyte G27Q 27" 1440p 144Hz IPS ~180€

Cable: DisplayPort 1.4 ~10€

Keyboard: Keychron V1 RGB ISO Italian ~50€

TOTAL: ~1425€

Mouse already owned: Logitech MX Master 3S

Reasoning: Ryzen 7 7700 over 7600: extra 2 cores matter for multiple VMs. 64GB in 2x32GB: essential for complex cybersecurity labs, chose 2x32GB over 4x16GB for Ryzen 7000 memory controller stability. RTX 4060 over AMD: dual boot Windows + CUDA for Hashcat 2-3x faster than OpenCL. Samsung 990 Pro: dedicated DRAM cache, DRAM-less drives steal HMB from system RAM under VM load. Full Modular PSU: clean cable management with tempered glass. Aftermarket cooler: stock blocks RAM RGB, Thermalright is compact and keeps temps 10-15°C lower.

La mia professoressa usa un metodo "casuale" per scegliere chi interrogare: apre il libro a caso, somma le cifre della pagina e chiama il numero corrispondente dal registro. Sembra neutro, vero? Non lo è. Solo oggi ho realizzato quanto sia ingiusto.

Il libro ha 841 pagine. Ho fatto i calcoli: il numero 12 del registro ha una probabilità di uscire 23 volte maggiore rispetto al numero 1. Questo perché le somme alte (tipo 9+9=18) sono molto più frequenti delle somme basse (tipo 1+0=1). Non è casualità, è distorsione pura.

Ora, considerando che alcuni compagni erano già esclusi (chi per via di DSA o ADHD e quindi con interrogazioni programmate per legge, chi perché è uno studente-atleta tesserato con la Lazio e ha diritto a una pianificazione diversa) i "possibili interrogati" eravamo rimasti in 7. E indovinate chi è uscito? Il 9 e il 12. Cioè i due numeri più alti tra quelli in gioco, esattamente quelli che il sistema favorisce di più. Coincidenza? Matematicamente no: quei due numeri insieme rappresentavano già il 39,9% della probabilità totale di essere estratti.

Ma la cosa che mi ha fatto veramente incazzare è un'altra.

Ieri ero in gita scolastica. Ho scritto una mail alla professoressa chiedendole, visto che oggi avrei già avuto tre interrogazioni in altre materie, se poteva escludermi dai possibili interrogati. Non mi ha risposto. Zero. Silenzio totale.

E stamattina? Ero comunque tra i nomi in gioco, per fortuna non sono uscito, ma avevo comunque il rischio di ritrovarmi con quattro interrogazioni in un giorno solo.

Il sistema si spaccia per casuale ma non lo è, la prof ignora le mail degli studenti, e chi si ritrova già con tre interrogazioni nello stesso giorno non ha nessuna tutela.

Bella la scuola.
