Does empirical complexity analysis in a container on a server pose any problems?

I haven't worked with servers or containers that much and so I wanted to ask if I try to measure the complexity of an algorithm, by repeatedly running the script with larger n, how likely is it that my measurements will be falsified?
If I do the same approach on a desktop the differences in time measurements depending on, memory and other processes running on the computer are negligible. Is there any difference when I am trying to measure on a server while that same server is also handling requests and do you think this is going to cause me problems with assessing the complexity correctly?

What were your experiences with structured voice lessons?

For the past forever time, I have been trying to train my voice by myself with various tools, programs, guides and so on. However, I haven't been making much progress, the lack of feedback is really making me self-doubt a lot.
I know I could try to find a speech therapist in my area, who is experienced with that sort of stuff, butI have also heard a lot about all kinds of online lessons e.g. from Seattlevoicelab, Undead Voice Lab or others.
What were your experiences and what kind of services did you seek out (online, in-person therapis, group sessions)? I'd love to hear other peoples opinions, because a lot of the trans people I know irl are also kind of clueless.

What's your favourite parody of Kafkas works?

Currently working on a translation of the Metamorphosis where I switch the gender of the protagonist (don't ask).
That got me wondering about what other parodies exist out there. I only really know The Meowmorphosis and it's pretty funny, but what are your favourites?

GUI issues with KDE Plasma on fresh install with RTX 3080 Gpu

Ok so I don’t normally ask these kinds of questions, but I recently wanted to switch my desktop from arch to opensuse to try out something new. However, I have encountered a hurdle when trying to use KDE plasma.

First I installed Tumbleweed, installed the G06 nvidia drivers and the software I needed. Then when I tried updating my system a couple days later with zypper dup I encountered this problem where parts of my desktop vanished. The background, panels and interfaces were all gone. However, I could still open programs(konsole, firefox, steam), rearrange their windows and use the magic corner to rearrange virtual desktops (see the provided images). So I would assume kwin and the overall window manager work fine, I just had some issues with plasma. I tried for a couple of hours, reinstalling drivers, trying the G07 ones, reinstalling plasma packages, rolling back and trying to update again gave the same problem, but nothing seemed to work. (I got desperate and asked various LLMs for help and they also provided no solutions).

After around 6 hours of getting nowhere I threw in the towel and tried installing Leap. Then I just installed the G06 drivers on Leap, I got the same exact issue. A black screen with no or little user interface but I could still open and use various programs.

I am really curious what the recommendations would be, is this most likely an error on my part when installing the drivers or some other part of the configuration process, is this a software issue with Leap and Tumbleweed, is this a hardware problem?

I am asking because I have truly run out of ideas of what I could try (except of course using a different distro or not using my gpu). I would be happy for any kind of feedback/help/questions. If I left out any vital information I will try to address it afterwards.
