yeah sorry bromato
plush summit
apparently the package that contains ifconfig is depreciated @chrome estuary
chrome estuary
oh
plush summit
ip addr works
chrome estuary
AUR annoyed me. Everyone wanted to rely on it so a lot of shit was build from source or hope the AUR worked.
plush summit
i tried running lspci -v to see if the module is loaded
but it goes off the screen
oh
cool
not a clue
realteck something
nope
its intel
yeah
its there
looks alright to me
yes
i am using vb
it works now
it stopped working when i installed grub and rebooted
i reverted to a snapshot
ilkl repeat the proccess and see if anything is moscinfugured after i get it booted
hopefully
ive tried this a bunch of times
failed
every single time installing grub confused me
there we go
installed grub
and no connectivity
after reboot
whats he file?
latent mural
turns off hdr, well that was interesting nice.. gradients i guess
@zenith sonnet
Still got some tweaks to do (like cutting the thread fixing the Reservoir) and
plush summit
you dont need a bootloader?
latent mural
All in all, I'm pretty happy with the outcome, since it's my first custom loop ever
plush summit
vb is not uefi
i think it still uses legacy
....
how
its the vm
made the change
it didnt work
it was able to connect prior to becoming a standalone system
once i rebooted independent from the installation media i cannot connect
idk what im doing
pale sigil
Oh here we go
somi rely on lastpass way to much
Don't question one of the tabs, tis not what you think.
plush summit
@proud nacelle why dont you use arch anymore
i want to use it for its customizability
chrome estuary
yeah instead of any AUR packages having the key inside and doing something like requesting you to accept the key like it should... It makes you do the hard work.
chrome estuary
in the foot
plush summit
i tried gentoo
chrome estuary
haha
haha
Void's nice but weird.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzoZ7rG0x0c
I kinda want some like transparent topped keys but like reverse of the Wooting's. So instead of the characters being lit up... the rest of the key is.
You're lucky if chrome even compiles correctly.
I'd seriously suggest Antergos if you're locked eyes with Arch.
It's like gentoo but not or some shit. I never could get it to work.
plush summit
ive tried it
i want something fast
something that i can customize
something that will last a long time
plush summit
I really don't like the UI
chrome estuary
you can change that
Distros really do not change much from one to another except for package management in most cases unless you're doing something weird like Gentoo or Void.

@zenith sonnet Just Prime95, peaked 74c clocked to 4,15GHz(Ryzen 2600) for 10 seconds. Was pretty stable at 68-69 a majority of the time.
I need some more rads
Just got one 240mm (albeit fat, 65mm), want one thin 360mm in the top
how long did it run?
Not very long, 15 min or so. Just wanted to play some
with that amount of rads you have to let it run longer to find out your max temp
OCC(T?) topped 55c after 15 as well.
ok?
GPU testing didn't seem to work
rip me, my wallet limits me to peasant aio and air cooling
With OCCT
I spend about 150 bucks, but then I got everything cheap. Got an EKWB Supremacy EVO for free, 20 fittings for 25, pump and top for 30. I belive the fittings are Barrow and the pumo Laing(Spelling?) and top Aquacomputer
if you get a d5 pump, and you shouldn't get anything else, they are always from the same company
only with slight modifications like eks rgb pump etc
It's a DDC pump
Probably getting a combo for next build
I think they also are from the same company
the only cooler for my gpu is like 100€
Buy used
you can't get it used
there only is one from alphacool
and they basically make them semi custom
What GPU do you have?
I'd have to buy another gpu
zotac 1080 amp extreme
Could just get a core only cooler
there aren't any waterblock for it since the card also ahs a watercooled version
Like EKWB Thermosphere
and the card + waterblock might be a bit to tall for my case
since the card itself is already pretty tall adn teh pcie power cables basically touch the glass
Get EKWB Supremacy VGA then
€50, and then add some copper Finns for the vrm and VRAM
I could
but in total it would still be pretty expensive
and since my card hates OC it wouldn't be of any use to me
Honestly, you don't go into custom loops because (unless you're a mega skilled clocker) you want lower temps, you do it because it's fun, looks cool and adds another level to your computer nerding
Unless you got the money to spend there is no real gain for you
well, I could get lower temps and especially less noise
but with my gpu it would ruin the looks if I can't find a fitting gpu block
I could maybe exchange mine for a smalle model wiht a more common pcb
like the msi armor etc
latent mural
wtf
apparently blizzard made dx12 work on win7
guess for what game
Yea, read that
why wow?
every card that somewhat benefits from dx12 can run the game just fine
or do gtx 600 cards suddenly struggle with it?
fickle ore
dx12 improves cpu performance not gpu
latent mural
what cpu realistically struggles wow?
latent mural
apparently an i5-3330 or an fx-6300 is the reccomended spec
minimum is a core 2 duo or a phenom 2
and with most do you mean most of 15 years ago?
fickle ore
every new game supporting dx12 is good in my book
fickle ore
probably even newest cpu struggle within certain scenarios
fickle ore
it's hard to say which is the bottleneck in place with high amounts of ppl + actions + max graphics settings
wheres the article ?
fickle ore
probably most ppl running win7 play on shitty laptop with dual cores and dx12 helps there, and partly PR trick
latent mural
dx 12 needs a geforce 600 gpu and up to work
so those laptop should at least run mobile versions of the first couple core generations
which already overshoot the minimum requirements by quite a bit
latent mural
only for wow
appartently it neds a lot more work for each game to work
and microsoft cooperated i nthe project to make it work
fair gull
i only play wow
latent mural
why would you need to upgrade to win 10 then?
it's not like wow demands dx12 and nothing less
latent mural
how much does that benefit wow?
fair gull
i got 50fps more now altho this could also be due to having a 2080ti now
btw /s
i play everything but wow
altho i heard dx12 does improve fps for real in effect heavy scenarios like raids and battlegrounds
i actually upgraded cause i didnt wanna reinstall and rainbow six siege always claimed my d3d9.dll was a virus
and theyre support basically said "reinstall windows thats the only fix"
gentle turret
@latent mural basically every CPU on the market struggles with WoW if you want to run it above low
it's an incredibly CPU bound game
since they added DX12 support they've worked on multithreading more things and moving things off the main thread which has helped quite a lot, but it's still CPU bound
you know it's good when you could go to Suramar and drop to 40fps, then change to 800x600 and still be at 40fps
latent mural
I can't seem to find anyone else who has/noticed the trailing with bfv dlss
And the small grains make me a little scared that my GPU is going to die soon
zenith sonnet
wait half a year
wait for AMD to release something that does the same thing, just better
latent mural
AMD doesn't support DX12 on win7
and their current GPU lineup rarely offers a clearly better product if you want to buy anything with the power of the RTX 2060 or above
the other problem
I'd really buy AMD if they'd offer a competitive product and I'd be in the market for a new GPU
but neither is the case
Somebody was giving credit for an unannounced product
to a company that barely managed to keep up
zenith sonnet
The VII supports DirectML, which can do something comparable to DLSS
latent mural
tbh dlss is a stupid feature imo, since it barely makes any difference
you can jsut use normal AA methods and they work about as good
and becasue of it's faster VRAM Vega should perform better in that task
in total the Vega cards don't offer anything ofer Nvdidia card
ik
but that isn't genetive
but possesive
wait, nevermind
you are right
it's both
apparently english doesn't really have a genetive
btw, can every word be used as a noun in finnish?
zenith sonnet
The 2080 doesn't really offer anything over the VII either
latent mural
@zenith sonnet except usually better performance
and much less power draw
better and less noisier coolers
zenith sonnet
They're about equal, and draw equal power for the same performance
Only thing that's truly better on the 2080 is the stock cooler noise levels
latent mural
forget about the stock cooler
there are very good non stock coolers
not on radeon VII though
zenith sonnet
Give it about as much time on market as the 2080 had, and it will have those, too
latent mural
and the stock 2080 will generally perform better
the 2080 launched with custom designs
radeon vii will likely not get any though
ashen spindle
equal opwer draw? wat
zenith sonnet
We'll see about that
The stock PCB is way overkill anyway, any custom design will likely be a downgrade
Nope, it does not
latent mural
cooler design is more important
zenith sonnet
Posted the numbers a while ago, I think it something around 244W peak and 190W average for Time Sky
At 1780 average MHz core and 1200 Mhz memory
latent mural
how come some news sites get over 300w power draw?
ashen spindle
in the metro last light benchmark the vii seems to peak at 320W even
zenith sonnet
At what vcore?
latent mural
base?
we talk about base, not undervolted
that heavily depends on the chip and is vastly different for every card
but if you have multiple cards of each you can test it for us if you want
zenith sonnet
I only got 2 VII's to test
They to 1801 Mhz at 960 and 930 mV respectively
Launch reviews had a press driver with broken Wattman, real world differs a bit from the launch reviews
latent mural
the insane OC GN did is beaten by a 2080
without OC
their card pulls somethign between 500 and 600 watts
that is with newer drivers and wattman
they have to beat the card really hard to make it go faster or sometimes comparable
if you just add the price of the cooler you could save just a little to get a 2080 ti
which then beats it out of the box everywhere except certain rare workloads, which are completely irrelevant to almost any user
and those users get radeon instinct cards

Fractal Design Define S on offer atm
latent mural
in general?
latent mural
I'm guessing they are getting rid of old stock
pale sigil
£60
latent mural
wait, nvm I thought it was out of production now, but it isn't
really not a bad price
personally don't like acrylic panels, but definetley not bad
pale sigil
Not a huge fan of the side panel design
latent mural
oh
pale sigil
I like the cases that completely hide cables and the psu
latent mural
I see the non window version
well if you pay 50% more you get the meshify c which does that
psu shrouds are kind of new
pale sigil
They've been a thing for years
latent mural
the only bigger brand that did them a lot before 2018 was NZXT
or was it 2017?
don't remember
fickle ore
cant wait for AMD to offer GPU that's somewhat competitive with NVIDIA. Nvidia just sucks, their drivers suck and fuck them
latent mural
don't most do that nowadays?
latent mural
SSDs are pretty much always in the back
fair gull
@gentle turret idk man i get my 200fps + easily on maxed settings
latent mural
and if you want a lot of HDD trays you either have them under the shroud or you don't
fickle ore
any good looking modern aluminium cases on the market atm, Callum?
pale sigil
I only have 1 HDD and 2 SSDs now
fickle ore
I want to hide HDD/SSD aswell
pale sigil
I used to have 1 SSD and 2 HDDs lol
latent mural
the only one I can think of is Lian Li
latent mural
compromise number 1
pale sigil
I just saw this was on offer is all
latent mural
it is small
pale sigil
And looked it up
fickle ore
Lian Li, silverstone and Jonsbo have aluminium cases atleast, wonder if more do em
latent mural
silverstone still has some?
fair gull
id like a case out of supercodnuctor wire
fickle ore
Silverstone has yeah. I just need a case that's not an eyesore for the lady
fair gull
and then etch away a bit of copper and it would look dope af
fickle ore
my current one is big and looks retarded 😄
https://www.quietpc.com/images/products/jonsbo-umx5-both-large.jpg that would be cool without the side window
fair gull
@fickle ore i got one
pale sigil
Ugh side panels are to big
fair gull
pale sigil
Ooofr define s way bigger than I thought
fair gull
ok for real tho @fickle ore this would be smth ur wife would love
fickle ore
wat 😛
fair gull
and if she doesnt like it ironman will blast her
gentle turret
@fair gull everything on max standing in one of the latest expansion hubs?
Dazar'alor for example
fair gull
yes
gentle turret
I'm not sure I actually believe that
gentle turret
so if you stand on Dazar'alor looking outwards with everything on max you get 200fps?
gentle turret
meanwhile the benchmarks done after the patch hit with an insanely overpowered system didn't manage that
fair gull
idk man i just go onto my normal favorite german rp realm
altho i can say rn that the population of these realms is literally low af cause german realms
or well eu datacenter
cause blizzard somehow has to divide by regions for some reason
i can tell u rn if u expected this to be like a 400 player hub with all their armor effects and shit
uh no
gentle turret
even at night with only a few people around it makes no difference
fair gull
"a few"
gentle turret
yes, like 5 or so
fair gull
welp i can send u screens later on with an fps counter
gentle turret
I'm talking 4am levels of night when it's pretty quiet
fair gull
or afterburner or smth
gentle turret
these are wowheads figures with an OC'd 7980XE and a 1080 Ti in I believe the kul tiran hub
fair gull
what are the specs
gentle turret
which are in line with what I'd expect
and in line with the gains I saw in dazar'alor personally
fair gull
like i said imma send u screens later on
gentle turret
if you're getting 200fps in the hubs then some setting isn't as high as it goes
fair gull
can also send u a video if u want
showing that its maxed
i dont run anything special either
just an OC'd 9700k and a 2080ti
but ya im very positive to remember 200fps
fair gull
@gentle turret ok i seem to have misremembered. i just tested it with lowest and highest setting while resolution scale is set to 4k and both give me 65-70fps
but settings dont really seem to affect it at all
fair gull
somehow remembered it with 200fps
gentle turret
the only way to change it is to turn down specific settings that are CPU heavy
gentle turret
👌
fair gull
jk thats the background fps limit

20gr is for when you change it every 3 months and then for 2 years or so :p

somewhat like that
more like 5 years then
I originally had 4g in my order, but they sold out on that

Open thermal paste isnt good past 18 months or so
It gets dry no matter what you do
You can still use it but it wont work as well. I threw out all my old thermal paste recently, incl a 20g tube of arctic silver ceramique lol
latent mural
still thinking if I should order some from Amazon
but sicne Ryzen doesn't OC very well I don't think that it'll make much diference
fair gull
@sick creek oh so i shouldnt put powder on the cpu?
shit i did that the past 4 years with customer pcs
fallow bison
iirc it really depends on what cpu it is, Yamatoklok
latent mural
2700X
fallow bison
I think the x series didnt oc as well
latent mural
well, the normal ones usually wen't to the same clocks
fallow bison
I know for a fact that the 2600 does oc well
latent mural
they were just a little lower on base
fallow bison
So you want to oc, or lower your temps?
latent mural
they were about the same price though
as fas as I know I basically can't OC
and my cooelr should cool it more than enough, even wit hbad paste
I'll look what my temps are and then decide if I want to change
fallow bison
Well then if its currently at acceptable temps it really isnt needed
fallow bison
O lol
latent mural
and hopefully not wet
fallow bison
Well keep in mind ryzen can run pretty hot when oc'ed
latent mural
yea
fallow bison
Atleast, mine certainly does
latent mural
how much did you oc yours
latent mural
hek
fallow bison
It runs about 15 degrees hotter though
latent mural
I currently still ahve my 6600k on 4.5
fallow bison
But i got a 240 rad AIO
latent mural
from 3.9
fallow bison
Yeah that bout the same
latent mural
without any voltage changes
fallow bison
Damn thats nice
latent mural
they all do that
fallow bison
How hot does it run idle?
latent mural
might be a bit warmer, have the fans pretty slow though
fallow bison
Which is quite hot for idle, but under load it hits a max of 63
latent mural
doesn't get over 65° on laod though
fallow bison
And i also like keeping my fancurve quiet
latent mural
problem is that it only is 4C/4T
fallow bison
but my rx580 destoys my quiet pc lmfao
latent mural
rip
fallow bison
Yeah 4T is a bummer
latent mural
replaced the fans on my 1080 for 2 noctua fans for that reason
doesn't OC well, but it stays quiet
fair gull
arent all amd cards super hot
latent mural
my x580 wasn't that hot
fallow bison
Those run quite cool indeed
latent mural
at the price of a used 1080
fallow bison
Damn nice
fair gull
idk if i really want to oc my cpu further and my gpu
latent mural
my gpu really doesn't like to OC
fallow bison
Do you regulalry hit 100% load?
latent mural
can't increase the core clock by even 100 MHz
fair gull
i never hit 100%
fallow bison
Then its simple
fair gull
except when i need the power
fallow bison
dont do it
fair gull
with like JtR
latent mural
8C/8T sounds like a 9700k?
fair gull
it is
fallow bison
Are you runnign ryzen?
latent mural
what clock?
fair gull
currently its 4.8
latent mural
well, if the cooler allows it it can definetley do 5.0
fallow bison
I'd say 4.9 to stay stable
fair gull
its an h100i
latent mural
nah, it's just a 9900k without HT
fallow bison
knowing you dont necessarily need it
latent mural
it should be able to do 5.0 at stock voltage
fair gull
it can
latent mural
get's hot though
fair gull
i mean it boosts to 4.9 without any oc
latent mural
why did you underclock?
fallow bison
I'd lock it at that without voltage change then
latent mural
ahh
pale sigil
I run at 4.6
latent mural
so what is the problem then?
pale sigil
For some reason any higher my temps go insane
fair gull
id like to puush for 5
pale sigil
The last few months
fallow bison
9600k's do that iirc
pale sigil
I used to be at 5ghz all the time

5ghz has been easy to have since 7700k
latent mural
maybe try undervolting
fallow bison
How old is it callum?
pale sigil
Just over a year by like a month
fallow bison
Huh odd
i know that after 2 years it could happen
happened to my friend too
Fried his cpu after having it on 5.0 for over a year
pale sigil
I was going to just wait till I get a new case and re do all my cooling and see if its just a me issue
fallow bison
Got warmer without him knowing
pale sigil
I didn't have it on 5ghz for long
fallow bison
Very odd
pale sigil
Maybe 2 months tops? I then ran it at like 4.8ghz for a while then just 4.6
latent mural
rip
sick creek
Higher voltage will cause strain on the silicon
latent mural
maybe your cooler is dying?
ashen spindle
stock voltage and bad stock LLC sometimes can be enough to cause slow degradation
latent mural
it could legit be the cooler
sick creek
Without temp sensors on the hs you wont know
and who here has an external probe
Lol
latent mural
well, he should get some kind of rpm signal back
sick creek
I mean if the fan is dead you can see it
latent mural
and should be able to name what cooler he has
sick creek
True
fair gull
so anyone got a clue bout oc'ing a 2080ti
sick creek
Dont?
fair gull
whyn't
ashen spindle
you'll need to do hardware mods and/or use custom vbios to get much done, they are severly limited in max powerdraw
ashen spindle
well, depending on how far you want to push it, but you wont get much more than what their oc tool will give oyu after 15 minute testing
ye
ashen spindle
on amd ye, on nvidia not as much afaik
latent mural
less power draw and temeprature let gpu boost 3 psuh the card higher
and you may be able to do a slight overclock because of the lowered powerdraw
at least that is how it worked for pascal
latent mural
imagine Nvidia rleasing the Titan Tony

my phone is 2 years now still gets 13h +
sinful fractal
@zenith sonnet without touching it while at work, when i'm home at 19h~ i'm like 30%
zenith sonnet
Well, that was actual usage
I think I used it for navigation, 4G and GPS enabled the whole time
40-50% brightness
sinful fractal
battery should last at least 24h with intensive usage
that's so annoying to bring your charger everywhere you go to make sure your phone stays on for the day
sinful fractal
yeah same, but it's all about the idea of having a 500 euros phone that only last half a day when you Don't use it that much
it feels a bit like a robbery
reef patrol
Most smartphones last from morning to evening on a fresh battery. No more 
crimson wigeon
My OP3T needs to be charged every day it seems, battery life has been garbage ever since the Nougat update
I miss when the SOT would easily reach 5+ hours no problem now 2 hours is a reach
At least it charges really really fast
sudden glacier
had my screen on for 3.3 hours, youtube for 2.5 hours, discord 40 minutes, 10% battery left
zenith sonnet
@crimson wigeon Considering it's essentially the same device as mine, I suspect you might have a powerbug installed
crimson wigeon
Uhhuh
I don't know about that
It literally went to shit the moment I upgraded and hasn't really recovered since
And since then I've done several full wipes and it's still crap
zenith sonnet
Weird
Nougat runs fine on mine, with no noticeable change to battery life
Does it get warm?
crimson wigeon
Pie did improve things a little but again not by much
And yes it does get slightly warm
And yes guess what
At the top of battery consumption is the GOSH DARN GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
zenith sonnet
I once had an app installed that was a literal power bug for stress testing, 100% screen, CPU, GPU, full power antennae, GPS, etc
And it takes 1.5h to fully drain the battery
If it drains that fast, it should get very warm
Maybe a faulty battery?
crimson wigeon
But why would an Android upgrade make it faulty?
zenith sonnet
It might just have happened around the same time
Actually, the battery is one of the few things, that are different to the OP3

I did that the day I started using this phone.. (well CM but still) and maybe I'll try MicroG... maybe..

i dont get the leaving part imo... im not an interesting individual and i couldnt care less what google does with the info i agreed they are allowed to collect
no i have stuff to hide but since i clicked agree and i know what im in for
i cant really complain
plus i think google is broken for me anyway
sicne 2015 theres no new entry of my browsing history on their website
and im logged in on my phone and browser
im very sure people like you wont ever find a service in this day and age that truly doesnt collect data about u
unleyy you open your own services
including your own isp
im fine with what google, discord etc collect about me and they openly state what they collect plus i can always request what data they stored. sure i will not use services whcih lie in my face to me
email service known to be pretty anonymous gets used more by hackers etc
gets more requests from law enforcement due to it
now gets shit for complying with requests as stated in their ToS
and they will still sell ur data
so basically the bad guy that kills people less often is acceptable but the one that does it slightly more frequently should be killed
like the still sell it... it shouldnt matter how often
i somehow highly doubt that
imma say they will all turn around at some point and sell data
and thats the logic i dont get
they already sold your data
it wont undo that
plus then u have to switch everything over all the time
which is even more annoying
no just dont do the shit u want to hide on the net
do the shit on the net u dont care about people finding out
dont post ur nsfw pics or shit like that
i dont even get the question tbh
imo as long as you use a service provided by someone who is not you, you will have your data sold at some point
uh yes if you also run your own isp
and your own server hwardware
u basically need to own everything in the chain to make absolutely sure no one sells ur data
any email provider can turn against you
since they all have to hand you the mails via web or pop3/imap
there is no best way rn
its a bad to switch providers every time your current one fucks up
as it is to stay
i dont communicate anything via email anyway
the important stuff i want to send i do send to the people that need it encrypted with aes256
but thats rather few times
cause usually i meet those people pmuch daily and can exchange with them in person
well i dont share stuff i wouldnt share publicly with people i havent met irl
if i do meet them they usually also get a password to decrypt/encrypt messages
thats also why i dont care bout google etc... i only do things here that i literally dont care about anyone knowing

pale sigil
Just assumed with your key files
plush summit
wow

I have a similar collection of ISOs on my workshop USB drives. Great for installing Windows on customer PCs.
pale sigil
Oh lol, all of my keys are from dreamspark I've pretty much given away most
fair gull
all my keys are available on a printed label on the cd case
i value my windows cds/dvds
except the 8.1 one
i hate that one
reef patrol
pls no. No disc based installers 😄
pale sigil
Simple excel file here for all my keys. I have like 200 keys for different OSes and software
My college reset my dreamspark 3 times :p
And uni two times
chrome estuary
I uh...
chrome estuary
yeah sure dreamspark
fair gull
also collecting VS
chrome estuary
that's totally how i get mine.
pale sigil
So I have a bunch of windows 10, 7, vista, xp and 98 keys

I have a stack of retail keys, unscratched. I kind of went the Linus way, except I just crack my machines to get rid of the watermark.

I use Hirens... which is just a bunch of (free) software bunbled together in portable self extracting packages.
pale sigil
Hirens is life
fair gull
oh i have a bunch of hirens sticks aswell
reef patrol
Password retrieval, harddrive scans et cetera.
fair gull
like old ones and newer ones
also have a gandalf win10 boot stick
for PE win10 with tools
pale sigil
Hirens is useless for Windows 10 tho
reef patrol
Naw
fair gull
not really
reef patrol
Turn off the AV and it runs great.
chrome estuary
I have one USB for bootable usbs and it's a fucking USB 2.
pale sigil
The password aspect of it
reef patrol
The password tools I have in my Hirens run fine in Windows 10.
fair gull
oh well ya but for that u just boot wlinux on hirens, copy cmd.exe to utilman.exe
and boom
reef patrol
But only if the AV is dead.
fair gull
free passwords
reef patrol
I swear - These USB sticks has saved me from so many agonizing experiences with elderly PC owners, who don't know their passwords. Any of them.
fair gull

dad can't remember passwords to save his fucking life
I can't tell you how many times I've had to reset his email and facebook passwords...

fair gull
using facebook in 2019
chrome estuary
Even when he writes it down he fucking loses it.
fair gull
u prob wanted to say youp..... youtube
chrome estuary
nah he uses facebook to keep up with family and shit.
For one, we don't have a signal where I live so texting is non-existent and we rely on our landline.

reef patrol
Right - Enough being lazy. I gotta see if I can get my old NAS to run and pull data out of it, so I can rebuilt it with a more modern chipset.
I think it's running some kind of 2nd gen low power intel (self built), going to replace it with a 6th gen i3 6100 on a ... bitcoin mining motherboard.
chrome estuary
he's using a 1tb already.
pale sigil
2tb for media
chrome estuary
God damn.
reef patrol
I used to - But I gave up on local music after getting too used to Spotify
Now I only keep movies and TV series in storage.
chrome estuary

pale sigil
Alright boys
chrome estuary
yeah mine's uh... not so legit
pale sigil
We had a nas called Brenda at work
fair gull
chrome estuary
I think one song I own is?
pale sigil
She had 12tb of music
reef patrol
I want to do the ultimate stream machine kind of setup longterm. A garage server PC style thing that handles all NAS, torrent and Transcoding stuff for the entire household as automatic as possible, since wifey is tech inept 😄
fair gull
i have a client aswell who got like 8TB of music
pale sigil
He asked to convert all his 1tbx12 drives to 2x6gb
fair gull
and he has 2 backup nas to backup his nas which is running raid 15
reef patrol
😄
fair gull
the best one i had was this dude with 2gb of CP tho who we busted
i mean imagine this
ur pc isnt working
so u bring it to a place that fixes it
and u dont even try to hide
reef patrol
Yikes
fair gull
luckily the only time in all my years i had to call the cops
chrome estuary
Surprisingly I've heard similar stories with ranges from gigabytes to terabytes.
reef patrol
Yeah - We've had two cases of that for as long as I've worked here. We just report it to the police and play dumb with the customer, when they come to pick it up. We just tell them to go pick it up at the police station.
fair gull
with us its that the police comes to us
hides and the customer just gets it back
and well
gets escorted to a new car
reef patrol
Heh. Also works IF the customer actually bothers t show up as agreed on time.
reef patrol
touche
fair gull
altho tbh like i said only called police once myself
my employer had it 2 times before i started working there
well anyway imma go play some DMC5 and see how good/bad it is

Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100T CPU @ 2.50GHz
My old NAS is such a powerhouse
latent mural
I really don't want to rma though
pale sigil
I want to make my own nas
But like
Can never find decent priced old hardware
Everyone thinks their shit is worth something
chrome estuary
yeap
fair gull
id recommend an actual server board btw
reef patrol
Reuse your own stuff 😄
Eh. Don't need server specific stuff really. Only if you're buying a preowned xeon.
chrome estuary
Excuse me. My NAS requires two of the latest Xeon GOLD processors running along side at the least 4TB of ram.
fair gull
no like i mean for the premium stuff like build in raid controllers and íBMC
its not bout the processor really
just put in an i3 or some shit
its just that u usually can get 4 lan ports, ibmc and the mentioned raid controller out of the box
and usually like 10 sata ports
reef patrol
Next time 😄
You don't need a server board for RAID 😄
Also not sure why you'd need more than a single gigabit connection. We have switches
fair gull
switches dont make the connection faster tho
multiple eth = more speed
plus software raid is shit and usually a good server board has smth more like a seperate raid card
i just like hardware raid and for speed id actually prefer an SFP+ DAC connection but thats not smth ud find on a mainboard idrectly
chrome estuary
I mean a raid card would be nice for the extra ports for sata or sas or etc
Or ide if you're so inclined
fair gull
idk i just save the config of the sata card and replace the battery every 6month when the system is powered
a battery isnt even a euro so its not expensive
idk i like the extra sata ports
the biggest storage server i build so far had 50 disks
i see it the same as emulators vs real hardware
emulators might get close
but they cant beat the real deal
altho a few emulators can pmuch emulate perfectly
i need them ports anyway
so might also use the raid card for what its build
ya they usually have onboard hardware raid tho
at least the ones i know
latent mural
usually yes
chrome estuary
My head hurts a lot so I forgot there are pcie cards with Sata ports
pale sigil
I have a spare raid card lol

brothers are not technology
OK well they do make reliable printers
My parents have bought like 4 colour printers in the last 3 years. I keep telling 'em to get Brother, but no there's always a sale
Example of what, sale or no sale?
Factorio just isn't released yet xD
ashen spindle
ye early acess games usually dont participate in sales
yea but in general you see that less, usually only if the games sales need to be higher for the game to be able to be continued etc.
Well, I needed one last month bc I needed to print my bachelor papers 
not on my own ofc
sent it to a copy shop
before that when I wanted to print ESTA forms etc. when I went to the us incase I needed it, otherwise not really for anything in the last years
fair gull
i print around 100pages from mon-fri each day
customers
and testing printers we send out to customers
ashen spindle
do you want to put a phone in a box if you want to pin something to the wall that you'd need to print otherwise?
warped dove
"I print hundreds of sheet - to test printers" I feel that this is cheating xD
fair gull
na testing is like 2-4 pages
but customers come in and want shit copied or printed from usb
or their phone
nope we repair pcs, laptops, phones, printers, monitors
sell all of that aswell
and we sell office supplies
welp we are the only shop in like 40km radius that offers any of that
so
ya
we have contracts with all schools, hospitals, most doctors etc in the radius

id really love to do hardware or software engineering
but id also like to stay in my region or a region similar to it cause we got tons of forest around here
no major cities
nice and quiet
warped dove
Heh. I could probably take a better job within software engineering, some place nicer. But moving to somewhere nice would likely mean to drive to and from work for hours every week, which I don't want. So I stay in the middle of a dry, dusty city with reasonable but kinda limited career choice and everything within walking distance.
fair gull
well i have to drive an hour now aswell

I am looking for a C SHA-1 library that I can set the inital values and read them back. I only need it to process 64 byte blocks.

still confused about the tv running 4k@60hz hdr full no chroma sub sampling over hdmi
there are small artefacts yes, but they are also there on 30hz
and they are not limited colour
it's like im over clocking the hdmi port or something
fair gull
just use displayport
latent mural
tvs dont have dp
fair gull
some do
latent mural
bigbrain: ill take your word for it
fair gull
its just that i really like the better backwards comp of DP
and i had fewer shit going on with it
the DXW804/904 came with DP at some point
i think they dont have it anymore tho
latent mural
I'm one of those people who round down to 0 everything bellow 5% of a total
fair gull
i will admit its very unlikely to find one
but we bought that for a customer whos a lawyer and they wanted a big screen to show files to their clients
this way we got nice 4k - 60hz no hassle
latent mural
i got the tv with the best picture for the price
latent mural
it's a 2018 tv
it supports hdr at limited colour range 60hz 4k
im trying to figure out what is this magical 60hz 4k full range with small artefacts that are not at all the same as a limited colour range, when windows even says it's an 8 bit connection
the tv says hdr
it looks hdr too
latent mural
battlefield v keeps crashing left and right, like just in the menu
i have this impression that the hdr data is sent at 1080
can't even launch the game now....
latent mural
tbh
it'S not worth imo
the scrollwheel is pretty bad and recessed
and the coarting on my phantom got bad after little use
@fallow bison i got it to run but it really crashes whenever whatever
tried 4k , 1080, hdr,
just crashes in the menu randomly and when changing graphics settings
fallow bison
Thats, odd
latent mural
maybe its the tensor cores
fair gull
like i said it would also happen in ark then
they use some rtx things
altho ark got other problems
it doesnt work with the new nvidia drivers i think and dx11...
latent mural
you seem to often has this misconception that a small something is everything :p
i dont have ark
latent mural
i dont have anything else that runs rtx
hence i said maybe it's the tensors
and there's this weird ghosting with dlss on in bfv...
fair gull
theres prob some python code to test tensor cores
i have weird ghosting with dlss aswell together with some weird other issues
like flickering textures etc
latent mural
that rayytraced quake 2 was fine, not sure if it used the tensors
in bfv there was a round big dot going from many light sources 1 cycle per second
from light source to ground surface
fair gull
dont own bfv so i cant test it myself
latent mural
i wanted to video it but it crashed
fair gull
does the entire system crash or only the game?
latent mural
just the game
