Josh's suggestions are full of anime... Is there anything he wants to tell us?
 
@Null In the stream you questioned what the book of first Enoch was. Here is a brief rundown from what we know archeologically.
1. It was written in the 2nd temple period, after the old testament and before the new testament.
2. It is Pseudopygraphal, meaning it was not actually written by Enoch himself only it attributes itself to his authorship.
3. While not accepted into the biblical canon by the catholic church it was very much debated.
4. While it is not inspired it is very important as it is referenced in the new testament all the time and is laying out a story that was common knowledge back then.
and here is a link to my old post with two videos on the subject, timestamped and all.

Amusingly enough, Death Note is probably one of the few anime I expect could entertain Jersh without repulsing him immediately since it's basically about 2 autists trying to out autist the other and there is barely any of the usual "animu" trappings in there. I'm more surprised by the Rugrats and Ed, Edd and Eddy if anything.

Haven't watched the stream but thank god I have something for the background again.
 
Some observations given plans to purchase UPSes in TYOL 2024:
1)Anecdotally, as of late the consumer grade UPSes have gotten extremely shit. Consumer grade usually means "under $300 USD". I used to be able to get a ~900watt output consumer grade UPS that would keep my computer at low draw (~200w draw with monitor on) going for 20-30 minutes, and never had a problem until the batteries stopped charging 8 - 12 years later. Similar price ranged models currently available didn't have the capacity to keep that going for more than 5 minutes under that 200w load, to the point that I actually wasn't sure if it could hibernate fast enough to beat the battery's rapidly diminishing capacity. For extra fun, the newer one I did purchase had a nasty habit of randomly deciding every 2-6 weeks that the battery wasn't connected (it was), cutting all power suddenly despite the wall still being absolutely fine, emitting a constant extremely loud screaming alarm which wouldn't stop until I turned it off and back on again, and as far as I can tell this happening a couple times actually did kill some files on my computer.

2) It's best not to assume that claims of output will be completely accurate close to the limit of the claimed output especially one on the cheaper end of things. For example, when I was running a mining rig I clocked at ~780w draw under load on the UPS, which claimed to be capable of 900w sustained output, when power actually cut the UPS immediately screamed that it was overloaded and shut down unceremoniously. Given that there's what I assume is an 4090 which hasn't had a power limit set lower than stock in play, it's probably a decent idea to keep some wiggle room in mind when looking at claimed outputs vs known power draw for your setup.

3) I've recently had good luck with more expensive "professional" grade UPSes that run over $500 for a 900w output capable unit and only get more expensive from there. They are physically massive, weigh a metric fuckton, probably have features you don't need, and the batteries may not be user servicable depending on the brand, but I haven't had any of them randomly decide the battery does not exist, and I haven't had issues with overload close to the limit yet, but even with that much battery 800w combined draw from a 900w sustained output battery still saw the battery deplete fairly quick, but not so quick that things might not be able to hibernate before it runs out of juice.

4) There is a non zero chance that when actually plugging the UPS into the computer via USB that you may get false critical battery warnings at seemingly random times with windows 10 (I've never seen this behavior on 7 even with the same battery). The easiest fix is to just not have the battery plugged in via USB while streaming, but that does disable the ability of the computer to hibernate based on battery level.
