    13900k + 4090 Loop capacity

    So basically I was wondering if you guys think that two 360's would be enough for a 13900k and 4090 FE. I don't plan on any crazy OC'ing, or anything like that. For the CPU I was going to limit it to the 253W TDP, and default boosting rather than let the mobo BIOS go nuts with voltage and boost...

    Question about interfaces on Linux machines

    What would be a good way, or command to use to see if a given interface (say eth0 for example) has something connected to the other end or is talking? I used <tcpdump -i eth0> but it still showed some traffic when I don't think there should have been. Line noise maybe?
