It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's very powerful once you know how it works
I'd use the sample data sets and use that as a baseline to format your own datasets

oh ffs the json file I want to import is too big ๐

welp, you have two options, buy the software or find a way to make it work with a larger file :p
I won't explain how to do the latter hehe
marble forge
I'm just gonna cut it in half and see if it works for a start lol

I suppose, not sure how you're supposed to represent the data but you could do it as two separate graphs, or if the two graphs are similar, just show it as one anyway

Just finished putting together a small NUC/NAS/HTPC build
UNRAID takes forever to spin up
hexed aurora
Unraid isn't really the best for the jobthough
FreeNAS or plain FreeBSD with ZFS ๐
Both are free, and far superior to Unraid in tech behind it
wide temple
Do either of them allow you to spin up docker instances and runs VMs though?
frozen meadow
32GB stick gave me 28.4 GB Storage, i mean all are like that tbh but it's pretty fast and works well. Just i can't touch it while using it cos it gets hot LOL
hexed aurora
FreeNAS does run VMs
Not sure if they have ported docker on jails from Illumos yet though
FreeBSD has experimental docker support: https://wiki.freebsd.org/Docker
So FreeNAS, if it doesn't have it yet, will get the support
wide temple
ah, well, I have 29 days to trial unRAID and see how it runs, it's only paired with a single 4GB stick of RAM and a G4560, nothing special
primarily going to be used as a backup/media server, and possibly running Server 2016 for homelab purposes
frozen meadow
As much as windows server is good for that, itโs rly expensive. Plus Win Server 2019 is being released soon. Whatever suits the server best tbh, especially resource usage and usability
wide temple
Not really an issue for me as I'm not using it in a production environment
hexed aurora
WS isn't all that great for mass storage purposes, even the new FS
the new FS is better, but has some awefully bad behaviour if the checksums don't match in ram vs. disk
wide temple
I know, I'm not using it for storage :p
hexed aurora
can't remember the exact issue, but it shot a colleague in the foot
wide temple
unRAID for storage, Docker to run Plex, WS for evaluation/homelabbing
hexed aurora
ZFS does it right in that it has 3 copies of the checksum table, and validates all 3 to figure out which is wrong
but hence, you should ideally use ECC for ZFS, to avoid freak bitflips causing checksums to fail
wide temple
I'd love to run ZFS if I had the choice, sadly I don't have the space to house a dedicated server with multiple disks and a server grade mobo
wide temple
Still too large for the space I have to store it :(
hexed aurora
o.O
It's small as frig
like the footprint is MiniITX roughly
- a few cm for the case itself
wide temple
ohhh
well, the system I built is roughly that footprint
has space for 2x 2.5 HDDs so I can run with at least some redundancy
hexed aurora
a MicroServer is a bit wider
it has 4 hotswap bays in the front
Oh, nice, they finally coughed up a Gen10

that's pretty bad

frozen meadow
sam's right tbh
tawdry tundra

hexed aurora
@wide temple Your worry should be during rebuild, that's why RAID6 is recommended if you are looking for redundancy
A study done by Sun, way way back, found that disks where even more likely to fail during the rebuild (resilver as it's called in ZFS), and their recommendation was pretty much always to go for RAID6 or RAIDz2 as it's called with ZFS
wide temple
not an option sadly, board only supports dual drives
I guess I have the advantage that I still have my old drive which has all my files as they currently are on my new server build

spiral yew
what program are you people using to test disc speeds?
hexed aurora
crystal diskmark
you can find it in the windows store
CDM is basically the best at it, since it can test NVMe correctly as well, being able to increase Queue depths and thread counts
4K random 8 queue depth 8 threads in the 4KiB Q8T8
spiral yew
oh i've used CDM before but i didn't know it had a disc test feature
spiral yew
oh i had used CDI
hexed aurora
HDTune is another good one, but it's better at testing spinning drives
as it'll show you the speed at different regions
spiral yew
so CDM is better for SSD's
hexed aurora
CDM is better for just raw performance
HDTune for when you want the performance charistics of a disk
iirc. HDTune doesn't even work on system drives, because it interacts with the raw disk, rather than with the partition
that's the view HDtune will give you
that's a spinning drive, hence access time the further out is higher, and read speeds drops

it has 1050 4 gb ram
while the 1060 has 3 gb ram
and for that sweet i7
austere vortex
Wait for 1080 laptop
carmine topaz
Also, apparently the 1060 i5 would be better than the 1050ti i7 for gaming due to its faster
hexed aurora
the i7 in the a option is a lower end i7 and the i5 is a mid to top-range one
as for a 1080 laptops, those are expensive as frig
personally got an i7 and 1060 6gb, but it carried a hefty cost too
carmine topaz
I've looked at GPU and CPU test... and the gtx1060 and i5 will be faster for gaming. Also it's the new Asus laptop design
hexed aurora
my laptop now has a cost almost double the cost of either of the two options, and if I wanted to get a 1070 or 1080, i'd have to jump up another 5-800โฌ

laptops for gaming aren't really the best idea for everyday gaming like desktop PCs are, but if you go out an about then i suppose it's alright

Today you can actually get a more than compitent enough laptop for gaming, that wasn't the case just a couple of years ago

no Lance, not without a GPU

If you're on a budget, laptops are terrible options, cause a laptop will get less bang for the buck, but if you have a desktop with good specs, or you just want that portability, a gaming laptop today with a 10-series GPU like a 1050 or better and a mid-range i5 or better, you can actually quite comfortably play games on laptops

if it increases, you should consider changing the drive.
There are reserve sectors, but not so many that you could ignore it

I'd also recommend keeping a backup of any important data on the drive before its too late

Use Victoria to try to โrepairโ the drive

you can't fix reallocated sectors

Thats why i said โrepairโ
wide temple
the drive's already reallocated them to a good part of the disk, why would it need repairing?
main pagoda
To not use them
wide temple
that's the whole point of reallocation
those faulty sectors won't be used any longer
main pagoda
Oh well, with 2 sectors it wont have much problems. But when you have lot of them, the drive can take much more time to write on those sectors. Because is going to try writing ti the bad sector and then going to the reallocated one. victoria tells you the parts where takes more than >1000 ms to write data
I have a drive with around 2 million bad sectors, i just partitioned them to not use then. And continue using the drive

why on earth are you using a drive with 2 million bad sectors? O.O

Feels bad man

I've never had a WD drive fail on me yet, well, I've had two, but both drives I dropped whilst they were on...
grizzled crow
seagate tho
cosmic pawn
How... did you.. drop them well.. RUNNING?
wide temple
one of the drives fell off a desk because there wasn't enough space
main pagoda
Everything that i bought from Seagate this hears died
wide temple
and the other was a laptop drive that was connected to the shortest cable
knocked it by accident and well, rip
main pagoda
Seagate doesnt produce Hard Drives like the old times. I still have one Barracuda with 30k hours and still running fine
wide temple
can't say I have too much experience with modern Seagate drives, I bought 2 recently and 1 one of them already has 57 reallocated sectors, me thinks it's just a fluke
cosmic pawn
My last hdd that I run has a power on days of 500 days at last check not long ago ๐คท
wide temple
my WD blue is at 991 days ๐
main pagoda
Cant you use warranty when you have that much bad secotrs?
wide temple
yes, I plan to, just haven't got round to it, it's only about 2-3 weeks old
cosmic pawn
offff
wide temple
It's also in RAID1 so I'm not too worried
main pagoda
WD Blue is not really the best right now
main pagoda
Apparently they are using the old drives they used to maje Green ones. So now WD Blue is the old WD Green
Im talking probablt 2015-2016
wide temple
huh, you got a source on that?
main pagoda
I read an article about it when they discontinued the Green ones years ago
I would need to find it
Thats why i said โapparentlyโ
Im not saying is the only truth
cosmic pawn
Lets be fair, Who even needs a HDD anymore O.O SSD's are cheap ๐คท
main pagoda
Not 1Tb ssds tho
marble forge
are you serious?
cosmic pawn
Well i guess they are here then ๐
main pagoda
1Tb ssds for 40 dollars/euros?
cosmic pawn
I mean, I get everything cheap at work, and ill pay a few more dollars to get a ssd ๐คท
main pagoda
Ssdโs are not that cheap. They even were into that shit with memory chips
At least the price didnt go up as much as ram did
cosmic pawn
I need more ram for my pc, just wont do it cause that is alot.. 115.88 / euros for 8gb ram O.O
main pagoda
And 2 yers ago 8gb of ram were half of that
But samsung/micron/hynix were already sued for rising prices for no reason
And i think they have to pay a billionaire fine
loud jewel
cosmic pawn
๐
wide temple
ah, do you have a link to the article? curious to read more about it
I wish I invested in buying stacks of RAM
would work out better than buying cryptocurrencies at the time lol
cosmic pawn
yeah xD
main pagoda
@wide temple I think you would make MUCH more money buyng GPUs
i could sell my gpu for double the price i paid for it
@cosmic pawn Yep, is that one. Thanks
cosmic pawn
my gpu been playing up lately, might just sell it and buy a new one ๐คท get the same price i paid a year ago now, and thats with it playing up
wide temple
the GPU boom didn't last as long the RAM boom though
GPUs have started to drop in price heavily
cosmic pawn
Ram boom has basically just killed the market on ram
tame violet
marble forge
uh oh
main pagoda
flat grove
time to get a new harddrive then...
marble forge
Warranty expired a month ago or so I think...
I guess I'll stick to Seagate next time... My primary drive, a 1tb barracuda is twice as old and I didn't run into any problems so far
main pagoda
I recommend you Toshiba
marble forge
My Toshiba drive has thousands of reallocated sectors lmao... So Seagate is the only one I know that works properly
main pagoda
for me the opposite
Everything from Seagate that i bought this years is dead
Or is trying to die
The only Seagate that is going well is a really old barracuda
The famous 10 series
marble forge
My dad also has a Seagate drive that works like a charm for years and his old pc had one as well iirc... Always worked fine
main pagoda
Same to me with all Toshiba hard drives i bought
You can see also the stats of failure of last year
In Western Digital as long as you avoid rebranded Blue (Green) Hard Drives they are okay
wide temple
wasn't Toshiba bought out by Sandisk?
main pagoda
Wasnt Sandisk bought by Toshiba and then WD bought the SSD part of Toshiba?
marble forge
I'm probably gonna go with a 4TB Barracuda

Why don't you get a SSD ๐
marble forge
I'm planning on getting an NVMe SSD for my new PC once I have enough money, but for now I only need a lot of storage ๐

Ok, itโs only on iOS devices, but my iPad Mini 2 (on iOS 12) hasnโt had the option to play 60fps since last year and i only just noticed. It used to be able to play them.

latent aurora

night summit
Depends on each individual device and how itโs setup I suppose.

spiral yew
They are secretly trying to get you to switch to android lol
But yeh cell phones are weird cause me and my mom have the same phone but she can't use wireless charging even though we have the same exact phone
noble ferry
thats why you dont buy phones with wireless charging
night summit
Lol. Iโve got a phone which wirelessly charges no problem ๐

silent violet

frozen meadow

demon if your gonna stick with that build here's the supported memory list https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/HelpDesk_QVL/
silent violet
thanks
spiral yew

silent violet
but i just added the ram from linus's video
spiral yew
silent violet
wth is that
spiral yew
my pc build
frozen meadow
a pc spec list?
silent violet
also why pro
spiral yew
pro lets you install as much memory as you want
silent violet
why would you need to do that in the first place
spiral yew
home has a ram limit
spiral yew
i think it's like 4 or 8GB
frozen meadow
spiral yew
^ that
frozen meadow
64bit supports 128GB
Pro 64bit supports 512GB
32Bit is always 4GB
but who even uses 32bit now lmao
silent violet
i have home 64-bit
noble ferry
128gb is max
silent violet
but tbh unless your a content creator or a renderer when are you going to need 128gb of ram
silent violet
yeah im just saying cause i know rendering programs benifit from more ram
silent violet
i did have 16gb ram but i threw it away because i thought it was giving me bluescreens
frozen meadow
Rein u just copy a YT channel and sell it
silent violet
i threw away one stick not both sticks
noble ferry
at least i can sell my youtube channel for a fair price
noble ferry
yeah
silent violet
because i thought i was bad ram after all it was from my old pc so it was mismatched ram
one from adata other from ballistix
silent violet
why not
noble ferry
only buy ram kits
frozen meadow
it 90% never works
noble ferry

frozen meadow
and if it doesn't
silent violet
yes but what can happen
spiral yew
mixing ram sticks ๐คฆ
silent violet
hush i was a noob back then
noble ferry
ur still a
frozen meadow
mixing ram sticks is like mixing water and electricity, it's a bad idea
silent violet
now i know a bit more about computers
noble ferry
mixing ram sticks is like mixing ur gf with another dude, its a bad idea
silent violet
depends if she likes a threesome
frozen meadow
mixing ram sticks is like hiring Rein and thinking he'll actually be useful
what
the
f**k
spiral yew
lol
noble ferry
mixing ram sticks is like hiring breadstick as a content creator and thinking he'll actually be useful
frozen meadow
at least i create MY OWN content and not copy another channel for profit
noble ferry
at least i make more money
frozen meadow
i am 0 profit, cos ads are annoying, so why would i have ads
frozen meadow

could also be a faulty PSU
main pagoda
A Faulty psu most likely would shut the system off
Rather than giving a software lock/error
wide temple
depends, a capacitor might be failing that is causing issues with power delivery
but my initial point of diagnosis would be replacing with the GPU with a known good one, or at least trying the existing GPU in another system to see if it exhibits the same symptoms
