1  Other / Politics & Society / Alex Pretti on: January 26, 2026, 02:56:21 PM
This is crazy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Alex_Pretti

Me being in a fed lockup facility for amount of totally 11 months. 6 months + 3.

Tried to get help from Law Enforcement for home invasions in my home for 3 years & still going on now, been kidnapped by law enforcement, abused and tortured in a fed holding facility. Torture methods where you can't get help.

Feeding us dog puked up meals, extreme 150F temp showers where they turn up and down water pressure, isolations for months, restrainments in cuffs at 8 hours at a time in restraint chairs under metal as tight cuffs can be, no day light, no exercise, lock downs constantly. No incoming mail/family photos. Corruption so extreme, that commissary is 5 times the price of its original price + a sales tax. Basically $20 worth of stuff = $130 + $20 Tax, then a tax fee to add money on https://www.inmatecanteen.com/ which is the ppl extorting inmates & their families, whether driving on a suspended license to get to work and sentenced to 6 months in a torture chamber.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_Illinois

Torture methods. That this govt uses. Like
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_to_the_Dark_Side

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_in_the_First_(film)

Now if Alex Pretti had not been shot, I guarantee Alex Pretti would have been tortured in the hands of what govt calls in-custody, for fighting for his state/person on the ground and Freedom.

If I had known about torture methods Jail Admins & CO's use to torture you, I'd rather have been shot as well.

I believe Alex Pretti dodged a bullet but took bullets that ended his life at the same time.

If Alex had lived, he would have faced torture the rest of his life.

Why should a Used item be taxed if sold?

If a used item gets sold 50 times, it gets taxed 50 times say like on ebay, amazon, 3rd party sites. Car dealerships, if a used car gets sold 3-4 times, that is 3-4 times taxed.

Taxation should be once @ new? Right?

Also this is irony at best. So construction workers reworked the landscape at the courthouse in my county and layed new sidewalks etc, the irony of this, these construction workers payed taxes for how ever many years to get payed for their work through their own taxes.

Cops/judges/public defenders/prosecutors/stenographers/county clerk workers all make money of the real hard working earning man "taxation", concrete layer, bridge maker, welder, mechanic, so on so forth.

You see the irony in this?
3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / [XMRig]-signifigant improvemment in Hs with Memory timings/clocks/voltages on: January 25, 2026, 06:34:12 PM
A week ago from this thread date.

Monero-XMR.
So, I upgraded the FW of my Asus TUF B850 Gaming WIFI motherboard from 1079 to TUF-GAMING-B850-PLUS-WIFI-ASUS-1402, In the process of upgrading any MB FW, you must set defaults of the motherboard BIOS/UEFI settings as I've always known since 2002.

I have learned something very important about Monero mining with xmrig. This have sat in the back of my head to test but never had.

Memory Timings is very crucial to xmrig.

My RIG:
TUF-GAMING-B850-PLUS-WIFI-ASUS
AMD AM5 9950x
GSkill Trident Z5 f5-6800j3445g16gx2-tz5rk SK-Hynix A-Die
Nvidia Founders Edition RTX 3060-TIFE

 --------
XMRig/6.25.0 gcc/13.3.0 (built for Linux x86-64, 64 bit)
I loaded up my OS Linux Mint 22.3. All updated-n-upgraded, latest kernel, previously.

Default UEFI settings: Default motherboard CPU overclock settings the board defaults to, @ 5.11Ghz on load. Default RAM settings.
Ran xmrig, 20,000 Kh/s.
--------
Custom RAM timings/Voltages and clocked under specs of this set of ram @ 6200 & FCLK@ 2200 w/tight timings that I made sure is stable with Memtest software months ago installed on mint.

Default motherboard CPU overclock settings the board defaults to, @ 5.11Ghz w/ the custom ram settings explained above, I ran XMRig and got 26,000Kh/s.
--------
That is a 6000 Kh/s improvement by enabling my stable Ram timings/voltages/clock settings.
--------
Now if I PBO set the CPU overclock, I get 27,400Kh/s.

On overclock.net there is a PBO tuning guide that I do not understand how to do but if someone has the same/near same setup, you could PBO tweaking and get the best out of your AM5 CPU for xmrig.

So, Ram timings are crucial for xmrig.

It took about two weeks for stability settings with finding on the net with similar setups as mine memory timings to start off with, tweaking/tuning stability benchmarking tests to the timings I have discovered works stably.

Has anyone accomplished this?

Qubes OS and Monero/xmrig mining?

I read and got a thought, that xmrig would be sandboxed and applying MSR is not accomplishable.


What are your thoughts?

Solved

Anyone have steps for Install Bitcoin Core Client GUI on Linux Mint 22.2 Zara & Configure Data Directory?

Not using Software Manager as that method seems does not let you choose data directory.

I have the blocks data on a separate 2TB m.2 SSD vs my 500GB OS m.2 SSD.

For this system that I will get 92% efficiency @ 50% tomorrow and as well, I will be reseating my direct die application of the 9950x. So, I should be able hit 5.5Ghz or more on load because I did the seating incorrectly and hitting thermal highs on 4 cores, "correct way of seating the direct die with liquid metal, polish, and make it right", and that this below is 5.45Ghz load.

I am in first 3 places for 9950x also they rejected the above benchmark link but is still valid, which is 28146.18 H/s.

16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Monero Rig Build "Little Beast" on: July 10, 2025, 06:38:24 AM
Adding a second machine to Monero mining.

I7-3770k, delidded, overclocked to i think 4.8GHz, been long time since I fired her up.

Little Beast Build

Part:1

Going to be a Monero cpu mining rig water cooled.

I placed everything to see what i need to do, did a little die grinding for 2 120mm fan ports that were honey combed. "hate honey combs"




















Part:2

I need 2 g1/4 3/8 5/8 compression fitting, 6 are on order, alphacool. I will use 2 ID 3/8 and small OD from ek set just for a few days, from T fitting and down to drain hose. The rest of the hose is PrimoChill LRT, once the fittings come I'll will replace the junk hose from ek, only be for a few days.

Also, I need to order 2 x black 120MM fan grills.

Progess. Looks good, but will look really sweet with the 2 120mm grills for the exhaust fan on inside and out, also protect the fan blades.




















Part:3

I have the WC system all ran. I soaked the new alphacool 120mm rad in blitz part 1 & distilled for 22 minutes, rinsed 4 times. Put the WC system together with board in set everything up, pulled board, running blitz part 2 and distilled water for 12 hours.

Looks good.









17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / I am mining monero. Hold or keep the setting to convert to BTC? on: July 09, 2025, 12:20:06 PM
I am using https://www.mining-dutch.nl solo mining. Monero atm is $322.05. CPU and GPU.


The miners are producing 6000 h/s.

Should I keep the dutch-mining setting to convert to BTC automatically? Or set to keep "if I find a block" hold Monero and not convert?

I understand it could take 6 months to find a block etc.

I am trying to set CPU mining Monero to around 80%, 10 CPU threads.

Here

I put this in my start.bat file, and it does not work.
