I am sorry your linux experience was so bad, tip: any time using an nvidia card, for best results, pick a distro with an nvidia image for easiest working (or you can use an amd gpu and not need to worry)
@@elizathegamer413 I meant more the idea of using an iBoss machine to run games rather than playing games on a connection that uses iBoss as a firewall.
That bit at 11:48 where "There's an industry-standard way to deal with this" is actually accurate: Most PCIe implementations are backwards-compatible with smaller link lengths, and especially on older motherboards, it's not uncommon to see x4 or x8 link lengths with that back notch removed entirely so they can accommodate an x16 card.
And if you're feeling more...irreversibly destructive you can also just whack off any pins from the interface itself that doesn't fit in the slot. That also works, although now you rate-limited your GPU's bandwidth forever.

20:22 If I remember correctly the collisions of the game are calculated according to the number of fps, and if they are low enough you can pass through certain obstacles.
For most games it actually works this way to an extent. The faster type of collision detection that a lot of games typically uses (called discreet collision) essentially have walls and such act less as solid objects and more as constant forces that constantly push you out at the same velocity you are entering them. So when it is calculating your position, if it detects your position will be inside of a wall on the next frame it will push you back. If you build up enough velocity along with the fps being low enough your position the next frame might entirely clear the wall and the game will let you pass through. Some games like Super Mario 64 will also check in quarter increments between your current position and the next frames position but the same general rule applies that if they all clear the wall might as well not exist. This type of collision is called discreet collision and is characterized by checking once a frame if an intersection occurred and "correcting" it. A type of collision called Continuous collision exists in modern game engines however which computes the trajectory of an object to detect collision and fixes up those weaknesses with the downside of being much more expensive. In games with bullet physics this is the type of physics used and VR games will use these kind of physics as well.

Dude my middle and high school used iBoss as their network security and it was absolute garbage. Ah, brings back good memories of it blocking various websites, such as flash game websites and the ones we needed to access online textbooks actually needed for class 🥰 this video is a huge nostalgia hit
I remember having to turn in my computer to be fixed because the iBoss network at one of my old schools blocked EVERY website. UA-cam was blocked for "entertainment content", games were blocked under the "games" category, news websites were blocked under the "news and articles" category, and the funniest and my favorite of all, sites like Schoology (the class management system that school used) were blocked under the "educational content" category. Imagine your shitty firewall failing at it's purpose so poorly that it blocks the ONE FUCKING THING it doesn't have to block. I'm amazed iBoss is even a company, all their products are absolute garbage, they never function properly. I distinctly remember classmates having their school-issued computers locked randomly because they studied at a friend's apartment and it thought the device was stolen lmfao.
Lmao same dude! I remember for a couple years of highschool before I had my MacBook I’d get the bios password online for the little dell laptops we had and boot off a recovery USB i setup to reset the local administrator account password 😂 I could do whatever I wanted with the system and I’m pretty sure I was able to disable the firewall pretty easily too
Your issue with Linux was because, by default, the system installs the Open Source Nvidia graphics called Nouveau. This graphics card driver isn't official and was wrote by reverse engineering the Graphics card. To overcome this, you could just had installed the proprietary graphics driver from the Ubuntu's package manager, and you would got everything working as should be
Yep! And anyone who has tried to game on Linux knows that Nouveau is complete and utter garbage for doing anything more graphically intense than something a Raspberry Pi could do. The moment you try any sort of 3D acceleration the Nouveau driver completely fucking breaks.
iBoss (at least to my knowledge) was a firewall, as you mentioned, but i have a personal connection with it because my elementary and middle school used it as a way to prevent kids from playing games. the bad part about it was that it had a browser extension that auto-installed itself onto any device that would use the school based google login and it was basically impossible to remove. my memory is a bit fuzzy so that might not be 100% right but that's what i remember it for
iBoss is primarily a content filter. What he has in the video is a on premise content filter. You would run your network traffic through it to block whatever you set up on it. You probably had the cloud based version that used the extension.
My school has a Fortinet firewall that somehow auto-installs a chrome extension that you can't remove the moment you connect to the network, and it did this on my personal computer. I had to remove it outside the network and get it to stop auto-reinstalling, then delete Chrome altogether because I use Firefox anyway and it doesn't let you do that.

12:00 Once had a server-board with only PCIe 1x Port, just did what you did to insert my PCIe x16 card into the board, worked flawlessly... a little bit slow, but worked!
I watched this late in the night, but when you were resetting the BIOS-CMOS ... I was awake, panicked, with fear in my eyes. And that you said "I know what I am doing" was really cringe. So thanks for the video and that "jump-scare", hehehe:) This jumper shortens usually the buffering battery (the coin-cell). The same effect can also be achieved by simply removing the battery ... just fyi!:) Oh and THE PRINCIPLE of that whole shebang is, that when the computer is without power, the battery buffers the content of the static RAM (usually in the clock chip). By logic and how that circuit works, the procedure is of course to short-circuit the jumper (and the buffering voltage) for a second or disconnect the battery WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, you did the following (for every electrician, electric engineer, etc.) horrible thing: You shortcut the 3.3V while powering on the supply. Good luck that they have protections, which you commented as this would be some "feature", when the fan span, after you stopped harassing the PSU, hehehe. That was very funny and I am happy that you didn't get the "magic smoke":) Please excuse my womansplaining, its only to make it clear what you actually did and what the technology (and principle) behind battery backed up (CMOS) RAM is. And to prevent bad experiences in the future. Thanks for your video and the entertainment:)

I just found your channel. It is the epitome of what I like to do. Thanks for giving me new ideas. My tech hoard is about to get a whole hell of a lot more interesting
i commented recently reasons why i clicked your vids, i guess thats true still. but the personality you put in and the topics you cover are why i keep watching. this is my kind of tinkering. all of it. everything. 10/10 channel.
My first PC I actually bought for myself had a Matrox G200. It was a Pentium II with 128MB Ram. I was not prepared to see this chip, even some funny variant of it, together with a 6-Core Xeon and 500 (!!!) times the ammount of RAM. WILD.
Shout out to these machines, they're honestly great. I have four of those SC-512 cases at home and one at work, and we have a four-disk NAS chassis at work with that board in (128GB and a 10C20T CPU in ours, because we had them lying around). Solid hardware for any purpose, and obviously if you need a faster machine you can put most desktop boards in as long as none of the port blocks are too tall. One tip, the PWS-351-1H is the best PSU for these - almost silent and Gold certified.
HoloISO is not the only one with problems with Nvidia cards, it's all linux. The choices are either nouveau (slow) or nvidia official drivers (fast but incredibly unstable due to requiring kernel mods). Even on Fedora it's unstable because the install/upgrade recompiles the drivers and kernel in the background after yum/dnf is done. If that is interrupted Nvidia becomes NoVideo.
also there's a set of options that you have to put into grub or Xorg server refuses to start because of some bullshit in the Nvidia driver. Troubleshooting it is so stupid because there is no feedback or fallback, you have to turn off gui boot, disable the display manager, and stare at raw terminal. Source: I spent a whole 40 hours at work trying to get two nvidia cards to work for a tv wall because Nvidia drivers set up their own default XServer conf that breaks itself.
I'm using an NVIDIA GPU in Kubuntu 23.10 and haven't encountered any problems so far. I believe it depends on the distribution you are using and the driver version. Currently, I'm using version 535 of the driver, version 545 didn't work correctly for me.
somehow, i've NEVER seen hl1's software renderer never decided to touch it, and never seen a video of it (until right now ofc). the style's kinda awesome though
The iboss is/was a web filter appliance. That site is likely some kid sharing links that the iboss their school used weren't blocking. Those old Intel DC SSDs were crazy solid. I still have all of the ones I've bought over the years still in service as unimportant boot drives.
@@muskelin I've known people that would have done that. I also worked in K12 IT and there was a lot of kids that would try to get around the web filter, internet at home wasn't common back then so there was even more drive for some to do this. Heck, even I had setup ways to bypass the filters so I could screw off at work while waiting for something to do.
i have that cpu and i really don't know what gpu should i pair it with i was thinking of rx580 since my budget ain't that high but i mean i can try to save up 200$ but it'll take atleast a year so idk what to do what do u think?
Old server, computers or workstations are actually a real powerhouse. Yeah, sure it may not have a lot of single thread performance, but with the multi thread performance, you could still play a lot of good games at 60 FPS with the right graphics card without any bottleneck that’s what I use for my main PC.
iBoss was a plague back in middle school. I remember trying to look up synonyms for words (we were using some dumb program in class to match words), and I typed in “revolver” into Google. Got hit with the iBoss screen. Scared me to death.
Did you verify that the power supply for the 1080 ever started up? I've had to run power supplies in a kind of similar fashion where it wasn't connected to the board and you need to essentially jump one of the pins that would be connected to the motherboard so the power supply knows to turn on.
the fact this iboss firewall is usable as a computer that run games perfectly fine with the 1080 setup is INSANE to me, i genuinely think this could be usable as a primary comptuer
If you're having difficulties finding the CMOS clear jumper you can just remove the coin cell battery for a few seconds and it should do the same thing.
You needed to turn off modesetting on the kernel boot from nouveau. That would have worked, albeit with a nasty console resolution prior to getting into X11.
Hello Mr Bringus, I just wanted to let you know that the integrated graphics adapter that is used on many of these X7, X8, X9, X10 and some X11 generation server motherboards from Supermicro for the IPMI management adapter is actually very much gaming. It's just... realistically, retro gaming. The Matrox G200, which this embedded version of the G200eW essentially is a smaller process node and more power efficient version of, was a near top-level but mid-range AGP or PCI (not PCIe!) graphics adapter from around the year 1998. Many people would have one in their late Pentium 2 and early Pentium 3 machines and would use these cards for exactly that: play the latest and greatest video games. The card typically had 8MB of VRAM, with an optional upgrade of another 8MB, for a total of 16MB of VRAM, which could be either SGRAM (faster) or SDRAM (kinda slow, but still faster than the EDO and FPM RAM PCs used at the time for their main memory). The card was very decent at the time of its introduction, and still purchased and included by many OEMs in their PC offerings more than a generation later, due to its price point. During its life it really only had one major problem: The distinct lack of native OpenGL support in the drivers (there was a Direct3D translation layer only), which made games like Quake run very slow, compared to *any* other supported card until a driver update almost 3 years later when almost everyone had already replaced the card with a much newer model. Games from before the year 2000 would've run reasonably well, even at high settings.
Say, what phone is that at 0:30? My old Mi Max 3 is dying and I can't find a big-screen device that satisfies me, everything is too long and narrow these days. That one's screen seems right up my alley...
I think there's a bug with certain systems that if you start a tf2 match and you are lagging their server, no one can join until you leave. Thanks iBoss
nouveau is just the default driver that "should get you video from any gpu" like the Microsoft basic display driver in windows. once you stop it you have to press alt+shift+t or something to get the system command prompt and then you install the driver from there and it should work. I had to do that and it was frustrating but got it working after an hour or so.
I've got a Dell R210ii with that graphics adapter, it is awful. I got annoyed with how painful even moving windows around the screen was, so I put a HD 6570 in there. Even though consumer AMD cards don't have drivers for Windows Server, it was still a way better experience with the basic display adapter.

Chimera OS is based on "Arch" so the update command is: sudo pacman -Syu
Surprised it took so much scrolling to reach this commend. Technically steamos in general is an arch fork/sub distro
If you want framerate measurements on any valve game the command net_graph 3 shows that and network data in a neat way! you may have to adjust its position with net_graphwidth and net_graphpos tho
ahhhh I forgot about that damn
this by far is the only channel that activates my inner nerd for stuff like this
good work, keep it up!
I can’t believe that you found iboss gaming, I remember using that over a DECADE ago to get through my schools firewall and playing games
12:00 Once had a server-board with only PCIe 1x Port, just did what you did to insert my PCIe x16 card into the board, worked flawlessly... a little bit slow, but worked!
I watched this late in the night, but when you were resetting the BIOS-CMOS ... I was awake, panicked, with fear in my eyes. And that you said "I know what I am doing" was really cringe. So thanks for the video and that "jump-scare", hehehe:)
This jumper shortens usually the buffering battery (the coin-cell). The same effect can also be achieved by simply removing the battery ... just fyi!:) Oh and THE PRINCIPLE of that whole shebang is, that when the computer is without power, the battery buffers the content of the static RAM (usually in the clock chip). By logic and how that circuit works, the procedure is of course to short-circuit the jumper (and the buffering voltage) for a second or disconnect the battery WHEN THE POWER SUPPLY IS TURNED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, you did the following (for every electrician, electric engineer, etc.) horrible thing: You shortcut the 3.3V while powering on the supply. Good luck that they have protections, which you commented as this would be some "feature", when the fan span, after you stopped harassing the PSU, hehehe. That was very funny and I am happy that you didn't get the "magic smoke":)
Please excuse my womansplaining, its only to make it clear what you actually did and what the technology (and principle) behind battery backed up (CMOS) RAM is. And to prevent bad experiences in the future. Thanks for your video and the entertainment:)
Idk when you hit it, but CONGRATS ON 100K!!! I have been a massive fan since the start and it is lovely to see you hit such a milestone! Keep on pushing till you make it to the top!
1:40 that is an RS-232 Serial port, which is used typically for maintenance such as updates and general diagnostics
Its Gaming tho ?
@@TheCelestial it would be for the patient gamers, those looking for their data to take the scenic route
Bazzite is a new SteamOS-ish distro that recently released, looks pretty good so far, also included Nvidia drivers and everything
Yee I'm going to check it out soon
@@BringusStudiosBTW SteamOS is based on Arch Linux so any SteamOS-based distro will also be based on Arch Linux, which uses pacman as its package manager instead of apt like Debian-based distros do
Update: sudo pacman -Syu
Install: sudo pacman -S (package)
Uninstall: sudo pacman -R (package)
he used it in his chrome meet video
I just found your channel. It is the epitome of what I like to do. Thanks for giving me new ideas. My tech hoard is about to get a whole hell of a lot more interesting
"removing the network card becuase it isn't very... gaming." *me wishing i had a 1gb card because my built in one is 10/100 "fast ethernet"
i commented recently reasons why i clicked your vids, i guess thats true still. but the personality you put in and the topics you cover are why i keep watching. this is my kind of tinkering. all of it. everything. 10/10 channel.
Fact: "management interface" is an anagram for "gaming gaming"
ga.
theres only one i in management interface and two i's in gaming gaming
That CPU Actually Had Some Surprisingly Good Stuff Going For It.
I Was Incredibly Surprised With RDR2 When You Plugged The 1080 In.
My first PC I actually bought for myself had a Matrox G200. It was a Pentium II with 128MB Ram. I was not prepared to see this chip, even some funny variant of it, together with a 6-Core Xeon and 500 (!!!) times the ammount of RAM. WILD.
Oh and games like Half-Life, AvP and Unreal ran fine on it (last one after numerous driver issues).
Shout out to these machines, they're honestly great. I have four of those SC-512 cases at home and one at work, and we have a four-disk NAS chassis at work with that board in (128GB and a 10C20T CPU in ours, because we had them lying around). Solid hardware for any purpose, and obviously if you need a faster machine you can put most desktop boards in as long as none of the port blocks are too tall.
One tip, the PWS-351-1H is the best PSU for these - almost silent and Gold certified.
HoloISO is not the only one with problems with Nvidia cards, it's all linux. The choices are either nouveau (slow) or nvidia official drivers (fast but incredibly unstable due to requiring kernel mods).
Even on Fedora it's unstable because the install/upgrade recompiles the drivers and kernel in the background after yum/dnf is done. If that is interrupted Nvidia becomes NoVideo.
also there's a set of options that you have to put into grub or Xorg server refuses to start because of some bullshit in the Nvidia driver.
Troubleshooting it is so stupid because there is no feedback or fallback, you have to turn off gui boot, disable the display manager, and stare at raw terminal. Source: I spent a whole 40 hours at work trying to get two nvidia cards to work for a tv wall because Nvidia drivers set up their own default XServer conf that breaks itself.
AMD 👑
I'm using an NVIDIA GPU in Kubuntu 23.10 and haven't encountered any problems so far. I believe it depends on the distribution you are using and the driver version. Currently, I'm using version 535 of the driver, version 545 didn't work correctly for me.
I almost lost it at the heinous levels not even 8 minutes into the video, this channel gives me life.
22:37 bringus just took MEBIBYTE and translated it to GIBIBYTE and called it GIGABYTE
somehow, i've NEVER seen hl1's software renderer
never decided to touch it, and never seen a video of it (until right now ofc). the style's kinda awesome though
The water is WAY different too, look it up. It's a lot better
I approve of the iboss and the GPU chosen to run that ship of a machine.
the Clubhouse Games music in the background made me unreasonably happy
that ost was made for vids like these
The iboss is/was a web filter appliance. That site is likely some kid sharing links that the iboss their school used weren't blocking.
Those old Intel DC SSDs were crazy solid. I still have all of the ones I've bought over the years still in service as unimportant boot drives.
Yeah he def shouldn't toss that SSD, it's basically made for data centers and are hella reliable
Imagine a kid running a server to just show what games are compatible with iboss
@@muskelin I've known people that would have done that. I also worked in K12 IT and there was a lot of kids that would try to get around the web filter, internet at home wasn't common back then so there was even more drive for some to do this. Heck, even I had setup ways to bypass the filters so I could screw off at work while waiting for something to do.
15:24 the gnome-software icon at the bottom: am I a joke to you?
Take a shot and or drink everytime bringus says "Gaming" 🤣😂🤣
I followed your suggestion and have now fully exhausted my booze reserves as well as suffering from third degree alcohol poisoning. Thanks!

The old Xeon's are actually quite good. I currently run a E5-1650 v3 with a 2070 and runs things like GTA and other AAA titles at relatively good FPS.
i have that cpu and i really don't know what gpu should i pair it with
i was thinking of rx580 since my budget ain't that high but i mean i can try to save up 200$ but it'll take atleast a year so idk what to do
what do u think?
I have a e3-1226 with a rx 580 ands purty good
1:16 iboss units are used to protect schools from fun
Old server, computers or workstations are actually a real powerhouse. Yeah, sure it may not have a lot of single thread performance, but with the multi thread performance, you could still play a lot of good games at 60 FPS with the right graphics card without any bottleneck that’s what I use for my main PC.
BringusStudios videos have insanse rewatchability, i never get bored
0:13 THE IBOSS!
iBoss was a plague back in middle school. I remember trying to look up synonyms for words (we were using some dumb program in class to match words), and I typed in “revolver” into Google. Got hit with the iBoss screen. Scared me to death.
NTFS won't work for booting unless the BIOS has NTFS drivers (they usually don't), use FAT16 (OR FAT32) for the boot/flash drive partition.
Or use Ventoy
@@LetrixAR M.2 USB-C terabyte hard drive with Ventoy goes BRRRRR.
20:24 such a powerhouse, look at that vram!!!!! :P
You always find something interesting to showcase. I wonder how you'd do with an ARM device (Installing RetroArch or something).
Arguably that calculator was an ARM device
gaming on windows 10 on a raspberry pi would be a good one
@@jbritain Oh yeah, forgot about that...
Maybe Bringus could try to get one of those cheap gaming handhelds from China and play around with that.
The absurd amount of TF2 sound effects added to this video is making it much better
It's always a good day when bringus posts.
you bring so much energy and knowledge to your viewers! ⚡
Did you verify that the power supply for the 1080 ever started up? I've had to run power supplies in a kind of similar fashion where it wasn't connected to the board and you need to essentially jump one of the pins that would be connected to the motherboard so the power supply knows to turn on.
the fact this iboss firewall is usable as a computer that run games perfectly fine with the 1080 setup is INSANE to me, i genuinely think this could be usable as a primary comptuer
13:56 LMAOO HE DID A MINECRAFT VILLIGER NOISE
your knowledge, the follow along, the meme are just right
As someone who likes collecting PC fans, that is a total gaming turbine
The only channel i can watch on repeat without being bored
If you're having difficulties finding the CMOS clear jumper you can just remove the coin cell battery for a few seconds and it should do the same thing.
My middle school IT guys and I had some real good times with iboss together.
there are matrox drivers on their website. they do allow for slightly better performance. just slightly.
23:01 my AMD radeon does this when i get past the loading screen on any newer NFS game from 2017+
from a science tablet to a firewall, you always go to far :)
That was fascinating and a fun watch.
5:35 1 gigabit gaming gang
that thing runs better than my old laptop, surprised it showed that good of a result on something this random as an iboss
You needed to turn off modesetting on the kernel boot from nouveau. That would have worked, albeit with a nasty console resolution prior to getting into X11.
Hello Mr Bringus,
I just wanted to let you know that the integrated graphics adapter that is used on many of these X7, X8, X9, X10 and some X11 generation server motherboards from Supermicro for the IPMI management adapter is actually very much gaming. It's just... realistically, retro gaming.
The Matrox G200, which this embedded version of the G200eW essentially is a smaller process node and more power efficient version of, was a near top-level but mid-range AGP or PCI (not PCIe!) graphics adapter from around the year 1998. Many people would have one in their late Pentium 2 and early Pentium 3 machines and would use these cards for exactly that: play the latest and greatest video games.
The card typically had 8MB of VRAM, with an optional upgrade of another 8MB, for a total of 16MB of VRAM, which could be either SGRAM (faster) or SDRAM (kinda slow, but still faster than the EDO and FPM RAM PCs used at the time for their main memory).
The card was very decent at the time of its introduction, and still purchased and included by many OEMs in their PC offerings more than a generation later, due to its price point. During its life it really only had one major problem: The distinct lack of native OpenGL support in the drivers (there was a Direct3D translation layer only), which made games like Quake run very slow, compared to *any* other supported card until a driver update almost 3 years later when almost everyone had already replaced the card with a much newer model.
Games from before the year 2000 would've run reasonably well, even at high settings.
Say, what phone is that at 0:30? My old Mi Max 3 is dying and I can't find a big-screen device that satisfies me, everything is too long and narrow these days. That one's screen seems right up my alley...
It's a galaxy S22 ultra. It's absolutely massive
I think there's a bug with certain systems that if you start a tf2 match and you are lagging their server, no one can join until you leave. Thanks iBoss
21:03 gotta love thhe 4tb of vram
i like how you did all of that to get a hdmi port when you could've just got an vga to hdmi cord LOL this is why i sub
4 TB of VRam is something that NASA would put in their computers.
nouveau is just the default driver that "should get you video from any gpu" like the Microsoft basic display driver in windows. once you stop it you have to press alt+shift+t or something to get the system command prompt and then you install the driver from there and it should work. I had to do that and it was frustrating but got it working after an hour or so.
The gaming turbine was excellent
Editor: How many times will we allow Bringus to abuse the word "gaming" until it loses all meaning?
Bringus himself: Yes.
20:19 BROTHER THE VRAM????
I'm a fan of the Xeon 1650, had a V1 in my first budget rig and a V4 in my current setup.
I've got a Dell R210ii with that graphics adapter, it is awful. I got annoyed with how painful even moving windows around the screen was, so I put a HD 6570 in there. Even though consumer AMD cards don't have drivers for Windows Server, it was still a way better experience with the basic display adapter.
That jumper Hayden Christensen joke was top notch clever👌
Bros phone looks like the size of a TV screen 💀💀💀
