Guess who wasted 50usd on ksp2
I'm sorry π
Yeah, the failed sequel
but ksp is still fine right?
it was so fun rewatching Apollo 13 after having played Kerbal Space Program for hundreds of hours, and understanding every single term
All I really did in KSP was built planes anyway, most fun part of the game for me.
What was the plane focused game the original KSP devs started on?
why the thonk?
Intercepting an orbiting craft with another and docking them was the hardest shit I ever did in a video game. What a rush
Refueling stations on both moons to try and launch a mission to save my one Kerbal that reached escape velocity and was independently in orbit around the sun
i loved those moments
Is that not an interesting statement?
Everything can be solved with enough power
The only limit is the framerate tanking from all the parts
I got him back and safely landed his craft in the base on Kerbin as a monument.
that emote never says "thats interesting" to me, it always comes across as "the f you just say? r u serious?"
I too have the same understanding of that emote
nah
It's your PC and patience
oh
Dwarf Fortress is on the phone for you.
Population cap 1000
Sorry but I don't get it
How old are you?
DF aint that intensive on a PC. It more a memory speed thing, last I remember when I was researching the topic with original DF
DF is an old game
17
DF is notorious for bringing modern processors to their knees simulating the fantasy world
DF isn't intensive up until you forget to geld your cats
You geld your cats?! Monster.
I see
Dwarf fortress is still popular?
I mean, technically no, it hasn't been released yet
original was released in 2006, Steam version in 2022
Don't know that it ever was. Still great though
in DF you should, love, you never had a catsplosion?
games dont have to be popular for people to enjoy it
I enjoy I Wanna Be The Boshy
But they generally do for people to know about them
nah
I have, and the one time I did, it coincided with another really bad thing (demons) so the cats died quickly
people can discover them by looking around
Lucky indeed!
I used to play an online card game called "Sanctum" back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
it was nowhere anywhere close to popular, i just happened to find it
I feel sorry I missed whatever that was
I had messed up today before I even woke up 
Niche games are where it's at. Popular games have kinda been samey for decades now. I was over FPSs after Unreal Tournament (the first one) and here we are
Popularity != Knowledgeability
Has Master of Magic energy
btw girliepop, you ever heard of loop hero?
Piddled your pants while sleeping?
Dwarf Fortress reminded me of Prison Architect, which reminded me of Introversion which reminded me they've been working on a new game the past couple years.
I have but I'm not familiar really. Folks tell me I'd like it
Introversion does good work. Uplink was my first experience in an actual sandbox game I think
same here with Uplink
That was also the first game of theirs I played
loved Prison Architect. Made so many "Shower Hallways" for optimal design
I enjoyed it but my view on prisons has changed so much I feel it's not something I could enjoy anymore
I have been playing through the two point games (hospital, university, muesuem)....all pretty fun strongly recommend.
Games that have a measured pace like that are fun. Factorio maybe to a point but multiplayer it is not.
I really enjoyed it but man was it depressing; so I haven't returned to it.
the Factorio Space Age DLC really fell flat for me. Loved the game overall, but the Space Age stuff felt very half baked
yee, i get ya there
had my eye on those, the're on the list. the list is so long
Factorio is programming π so it was fun but also too much like work
for me anyway
two point hospital is a "spirtual successor" by the team that made theme hospital for playstation 1 which was one of my favorite/intro games to tycoon/builders
that Streets of Fortuna game that Bay 12 is publishing looks nice. I linked that to you earlier. Deep sim taking place in Constantinople
My experience of factorio is playing muliplayer, getting distracted or going afk for a short while and then being punished by the fact that everyone else has progressed things so far it might as well be a different game and I have far too much technical debt to catch up. And that's playing coop.
I'm psyched for that, I am crossing fingers I get picked to play with the alpha test
Kitfox does some really fun stuff
It is not a forgiving game unless you're someone who can focus 100% attention 100% of the time. Or unless you play single player.
seems on topic, you all should try this demo if you like these types of games https://store.steampowered.com/app/2779120/Modulus/
Looks fun
100% focus 100% of the time = Devil Daggers for me. But my heart cannot take it at this point.
I think the first tycoon games I played were Industry Giant and Traffic Giant. Fun times.
im extremely burnt out on automation games
Maybe I was just playing with people who had thousands of hours and could speed run it. Not sure but I always ended up getting left so far behind I lost interest if I went afk or tabbed or for a bit.
Satisfactory, of all games, makes my anxiety skyrocket
Kitfox is Tanya Short's company, she's the one that got Tarn Adams to start giving talks about game design and convinced him to let Kitfox publish DF after he was anti publisher for ages. She's also a brilliiant designer and gives some killer talks herself.
Shrouded Isle is also under the Kitfox umbrella, that one is small but very worth a go
it's dark but if you're unbothered by the idea of being a Game of Thrones style ruler and also having to sacrifice people to a literal Lovecraftian-style god that will eat you all otherwise, it's some really interesting strategy
im also looking forward to Cairn, Solar Punk, Memories Reach, All Will Fall, and PlanetBase 2.
then next years first NextFest. Love all the free demos
Songs Of Syx is a pretty neat city-building. it's dwarf fortress-ish but on the surface
I dunno if it's because of how I was introduced to Songs of Syx, but it seems more edge-lordy than DF to me and has a similar steep learning curve, so i haven't dug into it. Have you played it? Tell me about it?
i'm a few hours deep. it has 2 campaign/tutorial missions that give you a good grip on the basics/very early game. unsure how much of a mess it is beyond 6-7 hours of gameplay/when you get a big city/go to war with others.
UI leaves some to be desired but it's not that bad once you learn where to find specific things you need..
there's a demo of an older version supposedly on steam, but it was also free to play for 4 days that ended yestaday sadly
I might give that a look
ooh ooh, have you seen CuriousMarc's video about the power system in Apollo 13? it's really good. there's also a website that has the radio communications you can peruse
I can send you a link if you'd like
hall effect joysticks?
yep, and a graphene thermal pad
what? no flux capacitor?
ELI5?
thermal pad is working
and UFD Tech wasnt joking about the fan speed reduction. i tested with the Cairn demo which makes the fans go crazy normally, and its much quieter now
sticks are in and calibrated. operation complete
all things considered, this was a pretty easy install process. only "dangerous" thing was handling the graphene pad, but i had rubber gloves on so im good there
the rear screws went back in with no issues too
π
my hall effect sticks didn't come with the thumbcaps so I had to unsolder them from the normal sticks and solder them onto the new hall effect ones (only a single wire each, for the capacitive sense)
buuuut since the new steam controller (ie steam controller 2026, ie ibex) comes with TMR sticks the deck 2 should come with those too which means good
so these came with thumbcaps, and the sense wire is already soldered on, but for some reason its not "sensing" and the trackpads are still active.
Not a huge issue, since i rarely if ever actually brushed the track pad while using the sticks, but opening this up again to do some quick troubleshooting wont be an issue
could be that they're set to the wrong revision
They have an A and B switch for the type of sticks, and when i compared it to my steamdeck before i removed the old ones i had the correct setting.
I can ask in the other server i am in, they were suggested to me by a few folks there
The reviews on board game geek are so bad. Mostly because people seem total babies about it who say it's too scary.
Also apparently in the US version of the game Operation differs from the game in Europe and the rest of the world (except Australia) in one key way. In the US version of operation you make money from doing each operation and you're incentivised to botch the surgeries as you can perform them again and essentially get paid twice as you get paid double for the second attempt so you make more money causing issues through medical malpractice then fixing the issue you crated for twice as much.
This is news to me as you're not paid per surgery in the versions of operation in Europe.
If you botch it, though, you pass the tweezers and ailment to the next person.
Wikipedia page said differently.
Successful removal of the piece awards the value shown on the card, while a failure allows the player holding the Specialist card for that ailment (if any) a chance to remove it for double value.[7] If the Specialist card holder also fails, or if no player is holding it, the Doctor card is returned to the bottom of the deck.[6]
Do you have updated rules or older rules?
As the image I have is from the actual instructions, I'll believe those.
I know last time I played, there were no Specialist cards.
Yeah, check the link. Those instructions mention nothing about specialist cards, and says what I posted.
It matches yours. I wonder if the rules wwew updated at some point. There is a comment on board game geek saying the same thing.
https://youtu.be/e1cH8-Ncv2I it seems the classic version had them. They must have removed them in the 2015 version.
Ot at least one version did
My version was way older than 2015, but to be fair, the cards were probably lost before I used it, as it was my parents.
Does your version have the stacks of cash too
Interesting that your instructions say copyright 2015 though. Did hasbro date them In the future?
Yeah, we had the money and operation cards. Don't remember the specialist cards, but they got it in the late 1960's, so parts probably got lost. Surprised they still had all the game pieces....
I found that online, wasn't from my game.
Mine has been gone for decades.
Those aren't the specialist cards.
Those are just the cards you draw to see what you're plucking out.
Connecting that bloody rubber band was a PITA
Damn that's what they're listed as on ebay. People really out there mis-selling parts for a board game.
Yeah I'm surprised that is one of the lower paying ones.
Makes sense. It's not easy, but a rubberband is pretty easy to grab with the tweezers. Other parts were less forgiving. LOL
I think they maybe are. Maybe they pay higher than doctor cards
Ahhh...
I really don't remember having both, but since this was ~40 years ago, I can probably be forgiven for not remembering. LOL
So if you draw the same doctor card as the specialist card you hold you're incentivised to botch the first attempt because the second will pay double lol
Nah, you get two chances, and you get paid double if you succeed on either attempt
It days they get two tries doctor fee then specialist fee
Which the way I read that you'd have to resolve the outcome of the doctor card first
That makes no sense, though. You'd just purposely fuck up the first attempt.
Also that is in-keeping mechanically with the way it works if another player drew the doctor card
Instantly touches the edge "Oh, no, I botched it"
This is exactly what I'm saying it appears it's better to screw up the first try when you hold both cards.
I think we need to see an original rule book perhaps it will shed some more light on this.
Like those
and yeah, stupid as that sounds, you gotta fail to get the specialist fee.
I guess for some of them, though, it's better to get the doctor fee, than risk f'ing up both attempts to get the higher fee.
Some of those parts were pretty tight, and awkward to pick up.
But doesn't it go to the bottom of the deck if you fail? It seems like it's better to botch it and go for the specialist fee on the first time because you'll still be denying the other players it until the next time around.
It only goes to the bottom of the deck if you're the last player. If you're the first, the ailment and tweezers get passed to the left.
In this version it appears it goes straight to the bottom
See rule 7
True, true. They seemed to have changed a lotta rules.
I don't like it. It seems like they tried to make the game more forgiving and less strategic.
Maybe forgiving is the wrong word but it seems like the OG operation could have more cutthroat gameplay.
Do the rules say anything about trading specialist cards? Maybe the pro strat is to get the most difficult specialist card or trade for it if not and get really good at that operation. Then you can screw up the first attempt and go for the specialist fee. If the other players haven't trained for it they're more likely to fail on the doctor card giving you another chance and increased odds of collecting the specialist fee. They'd likely be more than happy to trade as it seems like you're doing them a favour and then you can blitz through the easy doctor cards lowering their chances of getting the specialist fee.
Rules do not have anything regarding trading so I believe there's no reason it would not be permitted.
Now I really want to play this version of operation it's a whole extra layer to the game.
Lol
E
well it's been over an hour, how hacked are you
Nothing happened xD
I wouldn't even respond to someone like that, I'd just insta put them on ignore or block which resolves the problem. Even responding to someone like that can provoke them into actually taking action that leads to more headaches. But then I block DMs and FRs by default so I never typically get such things.
Thought I'd share this here because it's incredible how far encoders have come. Welcome to the best gif you've ever seen.
expected the entire terminator 2 movie
or Shrek

Now I just need to create an audio sidecar file so it can have audio. (I didn't make this gif)
gifski?
Yes
this is a snippet of a tv in-store promo video
meant to show off the HDR of their OLED tvs
I can't remember which one, I thought it was LG but I can't find it
It's called LG Cymatic Jazz
ah yeah it was lg
I'm downloading it to test on my OLED
i miss the bravia demo with all the bouncy balls down an San fran street
in general they had a lot of those that were very new
that one had a nice song behind it
yeah, have it in my YT music rotation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpTRbXgU4co and then Crytek parodied it for CryEngine2
Meow
Now I gotta try it. LOL
aaaand nope. Setting the res that high just crashes the game when loading a world.
I did get a screenshot of the title screen, though.
As you can see, was not happy.
that's just the day/night cycle :3
hi
Welcome to the OBS community support channel. If you have a question, go ahead and ask it, and if someone is available to help they'll respond. Try to be detailed, and provide a log if you are having issues with streaming/recording (Help -> Log Files -> Upload Current Log). Please be patient if someone doesn't respond right away!
I'm guessing the maximum resolution the game can handle is 4096 on each side
I do remember hearing somewhere that that's the maximum texture resolution some gpus can handle so I wouldn't be too surprised
I'd love to play Worms with that kind of resolution
Hurray, I finally have a nice camera again as an early christmas gift and can take pictures of my streaming setup nicely again
Whoa.
Is this laptop good for gaming and streaming? This is the laptop i chose for my upgrade this year
Just maybe getting this for christmas
Or maybe not
@hollow grail What's your current PC?
My current pc hp notebook 15 fc000
Is a laptop as well
I just have to replace this laptop because i have a integrated graphics
I have 16GB RIGHT NOW
I am currently multistreaming and none of the streaming software i use except streamlabs works
Well first of all it works will be switching it to monitoring
I will then need to upgrade my monitoring pc because that laptop was originally bought for school now i am out of school
I don't know enough about laptops to say anything with confidence.
It has a dedicated graphics
Dedicated graphics card 6Gb 32GB RAM
I might be coming back to obs studio
Since my streamlabs ultra is expiring in a couple months
@silver fable
This is really the last time i would be asking in here no kidding!

Does anybody know of a PokΓ©mon crystal Rom that has all the PokΓ©mon from Golden silver in Crystal
Piracy is never a good idea, especially when it comes to Nintendo stuff.
Why are you pinging me?


well maybe no one is online right now... Did you think of that possibility?
Or maybe they don't have any opinion worth typing on your post, that's another possibility.
Just buy something. Or don't.
I enjoyed the fuck out of Control
Ok

What fucking word are you talking about?
no

i meant falf fife 3 ofc
nice one! Love that show
no ban, we good
I get confused because discord and slack have different ideas about how to italicise and they don't overlap
Why did they cut the corners of their books? Seems inefficient.
very inefficient
are you actually asking
OG or reboot?
Asterisks for Discord
Like This
it's because someone (studio?) kept trying to cut corners
Yeah, there were some
so as a joke they cut the corners off of all bits of paper that were used in the show
nice, now get out π
but you need to pay someone to cut the corners...?!?!?!
which is both a play on words
or were they unpaid interns?
and requires someone to actually cut those corners so it's actually more work
so it works on multiple levels
also I should watch that show again
it was good
I also really enjoyed the spin-off, Caprica, but it had a very short life sadly
Caprica had some interesting writing and concepts.
I just could not get into that one.
twitch and some websites are not opening for some reason
Hl3 release broke the internet
never ceases to amaze me how many people there are who think they're entitled to attention in chat
re: about..9 hours ago
always wondered where this comes from, certainly these aren't people who were ever on irc 
Good morning! π π₯Ά π
Working! Monthly patching and reboots. Winter break coming up quickly!
ooh i have school n stuff its been very stressy
also reboots?
Gotta reboot after updates
Echo is correct, especially if there is a new kernel.
wait am confused what is this about?
You asked, "also reboots?"
Hehehehehehe!
Systems at my work. I work for the Library for a University and we have many internal servers to keep the Library running. Have to keep them patched and rebooted.
OH okay now i am not confused i am kinda bad with tech stuff kinda dealing with a weird tech thing myself
I hope you get your weird tech issue solved soon!
i havent really looked into it yet but some weird stuff happening to a copy of quake's beta i got
Patching of servers is akin to doing Updates on a computer π
maybe its a dosbox issue
Heyo Boneshooter!
oh fr?
Yup. I do similar work IRL

Hi
how is it goin
Hi klax! π
Highly depending on the actual subject
Ask your question. Lots of people hang out in this channel.
old id engine game?>
oo k
id engine? You mean Quake engine?
there was a weird green ring that spawned in my quake game i don't think it was mentioned on the wiki
yup
What βquakeβ game? There were like 7
- Quake
- Quake 2
- Quake 3 Arena (and Team Arena)
- Quake 4
- Enemy Territory : Quake Wars
- Quake Live
- Quake Champions
Rob with all the Quakes
Quake was my jam
OH RIGHT, QuakeWorld if we count that, since it was a separate client and everything
We used Quake as a "network" saturation and speed test at a new hospital π
!techsupport if you had screenshots of this happening, that would be helpful. But really, the tech support server may be a better option
If you need more in-depth technical help for your computer issues outside of OBS, you can join the /r/TechSupport Discord server
oh sorry
i got busy
its Quake 1
but like the pre release beta
oh alright thanks for the suggestion
i cant really recreate it at the current time
so QTest?
we are talking about the mid 90s quake game here, right?
all I remember from that day was QTest and Quake. QTest was in February 1996, and Quake was released that July
is this Qtest?
yeah, thats QTest
oh then its Qtest then
i thought there was a mid way beta
wait
i think something is wrong this version doesnt even have deathmatch?
its only single player
yeah, not sure how much support your gonna really get for a technical demo/test of a ~30 year old game
oh its called qprerelease in the files
i mean fair lol
maybe i gotta get this to an og id dev
that would be cool
eh, one of the bigger OG ID Devs became very "uncool" over the past 15 years
oh which one?
Carmack
you can look him up on Wikipedia
ok sorry if it was inappropriate asking here
id rather not delve directly into any of it, because at that point i would be going into inappropriate commentary
yeah understandable
anyways i might troubleshoot it myself if stuff dont work out i might join that tech support server or maybe ask on reddit or somethin
the tech support server IS based on the Reddit tech support subreddit
why are you trying to get support for something that happends in a pre-release beta of ancient software?
oh uh i am just kinda curious never seen anyone with that problem in this game before and i play quake alot so i thought itd be cool to learn what the helly is goin on in my game lol
should i update yall about this if i figure out orr wa
Just need to fluff the tree and decorate.
Go for the "Charlie Brown" look. No fluffing and just start hanging stuff on it. When I was in the Navy we'd yank the tree out of the box. Minimal straighting then hang stuff on it. Sometimes, it was just a spare set of dog tags.
Forgot to put the skirt on it.
Festive.
and there was much rejoicing
aw, rainbow is gone
Do you suggest a capture card, NDI OBS plugin, or OBS teleport for dual PC stream set up? I don't have particular needs in terms of quality, as long as it works and it does not require much tinkering with it I'm fine
well, NDI and teleport are both completely free, so I'd suggest starting with those two and seeing if they work well for you
costs you nothing to test, by definition
if they don't, depending on why they don't, it can be worth considering a capture card.
Thanks, are NDI and Teleport equal?
afaik not exactly, but I don't feel qualified telling you the exact differences, I haven't looked at both recently enough to be up-to-date on that
the obs logo having a christmas design makes me happy idk why
Stuffs...
OH SHIT
They come with things!
I like the bottle opener
Has magnets, so it is now on my fridge.
The NDI set up works really nice. I was trying to offset the delay in audio with filters. I applied Render Delay filters to video sources and matched it with the Audio Track delay filters as well.
This method works for livestreaming as well right? Not only local recordings
So cool server avatar! congrats!
Its a holiday classic
I experimented with making a new holiday icon/banner a few days ago but didn't end up liking any more than the current
these are actually my favorite that we use all year
this one wasn't too bad tho
that one probably doesn't work very well in small format
I like the santa hat version much more
Ooo, the OBS logo AS a tree ornament could look cool though
also this reminds me to put on my santa hat
Combine them, even better 
amazing cool too!
yes, the one you set is very good!
That would make a good sticker.
I kinda want a bumper sticker now that says βKeep Broadcasting Openβ but the O in Open is the OBS logo
Open Broadcaster Software
interesting

Why's that interesting? Its an open-source software that can be used for broadcasting
maybe "this software acronym stands for exactly what it does" is interesting instead of it being a pun or a recursive acronym 
maybe they thought it was the Old Body Style Ford/Chevy group
Someone misspelled ABS.
Awesome Broadcaster Software
Much like how the SAM in SAM Broadcaster stands for βstreaming audio managerβ

So, divided up one of my A5 i bought from Costco last night. Got 12 steaks out of a $120 hunk.
How big is each steak
/googling directions
Wait, so 7lbs into 12 steaks?
Seems pretty good for a5

Mashed tastes and Brussel sprouts.
Steaks themselves were seasoned with... salt and pepper, because Wagyu. LOL
i have a bit to learn in the steak world, ill be educating meself in due time
Also, figured out how to play the Metroid Prime games with a mouse and keyboard. Means I can retire my Wii-U finally. Though, I had to pay something like $150 for the Metroid Prime Trilogy. π¬
I coulda just downloaded it, but... Legality and all.
I guess I'll go try to find some cooling fans
What's your stash and cash worth? For me, getting the expedition would likely only net 1 skill point so not exactly worth it
It's just something to work towards, and I like the idea of resetting
My stash isn't worth enough to worry about extra skill points
See the reset itself could be good for me since I know how id play the skill tree different on another run through
But I'll give that a go next time around
See the snowstorm weather they are planning?
Yeah, I think it's going to be neat

so turns out the gold edition includes the Trials HD warehouse tracks too, but it includes them in the license progression so you now need to play both games' maps to progress... and it's "gold" edition but missing the original 2 DLC's that evolution had... what a scam, modern game dev is garbage, anything online connected needs to go away, etc.
lol
there's a lot of static scenes, wonder if that's it
meant to post this in the other channel but oh well
Seems just like random stats about something, outta nowhere, other than knowing it's yt-dl
Something that's 4k24 that has a smaller file size in AV1, than VP9.
i kinda remember youtube often overcompresses their av1 streams more than vp9
oh, they definitely do
but less than a third is still a little crazy
but I think it was because a lot of the scenes were pretty static
Yo thats so cool

I see RAM prices are continuing to drop. 
bargain
Lol, forgot where i was there
Drrrrroooooooppp
you could say the RAM prices are planetary in size. maybe even intergalactic
Prices have gone into another dimension
Another dimension
I assume Nemix is a known server RAM manufacturer? I just don't recognize the name.
i could sell you a set for 650$ and make back triple what i paid for them lol
Who needs to invest in crypto? I coulda bought RAM last year, and sold it for 300% profit now. If only foresight was my super power.
last year? just 4 months back it was all sanely priced
i should've kept the 32gb set i upgraded in my closet like i usually do and i'd practically have made the upgrade cost back entirely
would-of, should-of, could-of...
but none of us did
obviously bill gates forgot to call me before buying up all the ram, kind of rude tbh i thought we were friends
Playing the demo for Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator really gets you in the mindset just being okay with buying early and watching the price drop, because it could just have easily went up too.
We live in the timeline were it went WAY up
Bill gates only friend is his money
@amber sparrow
ECC almost always means server, yeah, and that's pretty typical of how much that would cost before the shortage.
ECC ram has always been obnoxiously expensive
Because, and this is oversimplifying of course, it effectively comes with a warranty that says "the ram won't corrupt your data" heh
Really? Fair enough, then. I was looking at ECC due to actually maybe getting a proper server, now that my Plex server is running outta space, and I'm out of SATA ports.
That amount ain't in my budget, so will be looking at older stuff. This is when I ask @hearty stirrup for advice, but I didn't want to point him, at first. :/ Of course, I have now, so apologies.
I can almost certainly guarantee you that you do not need ECC ram.
It is, by design, slower than normal and the amount of data corruption something like a Plex would be subject to from a RAM standpoint is basically nonexistent.
Also fair enough. Last time I had ECC RAM was in 1996.
I swapped the ECC ram that came with my server out, heh
Dual socket, original Pentium Pro board, with 128 Mb ECC RAM.
I have a stack of old Google Search Appliances that have something like 4tb of ECC ram between them, but it's not really worth much because of how old it is.
Good ol' e-waste.
I'm thinking it should get something like a 2U? 1U seems way too thin to shove proper 3.5" spinning rust, and I definitely can't afford those hugenormous SATA SSDs.
Its all just gonna become server memory anyway
1u systems will generally max out at 8x2.5"
you can get 20+TB 3.5" disks, how many TB do you need
most 1U servers can fit 4
2u servers and up are better suited for 3.5"
I'm already using six drives, and those are nearly full. So, definitely more.
are you putting this server in a datacenter
a lot of 2u servers can do 12x3.5
or do you have a full-size rack at home
I do not.
then there's no point in getting a 1U or 2U server
get something in a tower form factor
So, server hardware in a tower case? Assuming that would be a better idea than the 9900k I'm using now.
yeah basically
there are server vendors that sell servers in tower form factor, primarily for offices that don't have a whole rack
modern rack mount servers need deep racks
30 is on the shallow side
your average server manufactured in the past 5 years expects a rack 1 meter deep
Hmmm... copy that. Recommendations for what to get, that won't break the bank? I know you're pretty in the know with best bang for the buck. That's for either/both of you. LOL
Used, not this gen, obviously works.
tbh I'm trying to scroll back and find out out why you want a server because it seems like you just need a NAS?
possibly one that you can install your own os on
I mean, I can potentially use a NAS, but am trying to keep all the drives physically in the same computer, since i don't think unraid or drivepool work with non-local drives, and probably shouldn't anyways. I'm using all this for a Plex server that I've nearly filled up. I keep buying physical media to rip to it.
well the idea is you run your unraid or whatever on the nas, yes
Right, but the NAS would need to hold more than the six drives I've already filled up.
the primary reason to go for server hardware as opposed to consumer is to use the server-grade CPUs with lots of cores, lots of PCIe lanes and lots of ECC memory
if you don't need those things and you aren't looking for the rack-mount form-factor imo you just want a nas with lots of drive bays
(keeping in mind when I say nas I don't necessarily mean pre-built, though that makes it easier to deal with the requirement of lots of drives)
8-bay nas enclosures are pretty easy to find
I've seen larger but they're a bit less common
you can also just buy a pc case with lots of drive bays, stick a consumer mobo in there and add a pcie sata controller for extra sata connections
assuming your mobo doesn't have enough which, if you need more than 6 is likely the case
I would do that on my existing PC, but I'm outta PCI-e slots as well. Well... maybe. I can probably, maybe, empty one.
yeah doing it on a separate computer that you then treat as network storage frees you from those woes
True, as well. Hmmm.... Guess the only downfall now is the price of RAM. I'm assuming i won't need more than 32Gb, though. Hmmm....
you don't need lots of ram to run a media file server
I was gonna say, 16Gb would probably be enough.
easily
having this 100TB of stuff formatted as NTFS spanning multiple drives is a practical problem though
because I feel like you're trying to re-use those drives
and anything like unraid will expect empty drives
which is a little tricky unless you have a way to empty individual drives and shrink your array
some older mobos easily probably have 10 sata slots i wanna say?
which raid tends not to be able to do but I'm not well-versed in what windows can do in this area
put in 10 20tb drives and u have 200 tb?
Would be the optimal approach, yes. As it is, I'm using Stablebit Drivepool, that is can easily add more drives to, without formatting.
can you remove them though?
Less, due to drive makers using 1,000 Gb as 1 Tb.
As long as there's enough free drive space on the other drives to move files to. I mean, technically I can remove drives willy nilly, but would lose access to the files on those drives.
right
so then so long as you can free up space to take out one drive (or buy one new drive) you can move the stuff drive-by-drive
It's not like a RAID array, though, as I can access the individual drives, and the files on them.
I'm assuming here you use something like unRAID or TrueNAS instead on your new server pc
If I'm not using server hardware, I can still use Windows, and just use Stablebit. Which means I can transfer all the drives over and just add more.
I would just need to find a case that'll hold a dozen drives, or more.
windows is occasionally used on servers after all
Windows server, though, right?
usually
I don't think it's a hard requirement
unless you're exceeding certain limits for core count and memory iirc?
The last "proper" server I used, had Windows 2000 Server on it ( I still have a license for it, LOL ).
And as cheap as I'm going, that won't be an issue.
exactly
do I understand correctly btw that your drivepool just combines drives
and if one dies you lose whatever was on it?
Correct
which hopefully is at least full files and not chunks of files
Also correct
yeah I would not be comfortable with that lol but I guess if all you're putting on it is movies and tv shows it's fine
Yeah, nothing I don't have the originals for.
I got out of pirating movies and shows at least a decade ago.
Everything on my Plex server I own. π
So you have an original copy of Swiss Family Robinson then?
That's not on my Plex server. LOL
Nope
I'm trying to figure out how to export my library as a csv file. Guess I can save the directory list as a text file.
I'll send it to you in that other place we hang out.
drivepool also allows you to "eject" a drive from a pool, and the files on that drive will get evacuated to the drives that remain in the pool
and drivepool is object level (full files) not block level
drivepool has per-folder level control over file replication so that you can protect against drive failures for important files
you can both add and remove drives from pools on minimal warning.
the default action for removing a drive from a pool evacuates the files on that drive to the rest of the pool
so with sufficient hotswap, you can LIVE upgrade your pool to larget drives
Wonder if anyone wants to buy some slightly used EXOS drives. LOL
I was tempted to before.. it was $285 for 26tb drive
I should of, oh well
what would I do with that much space π
I'd also prob want something that can be easily unplugged.. like an external drive
internal drives are a bit iffy unplugging while computer is on sometimes, I think.. might just have to have it configured properly
Why would you be unplugging shit in your computer, while it's on. That's just asking for disaster.
I do that with my external hard drive I currently have
don't use it that much, though.. I think it's only 2tb... could be 4? idk
Unplugging external drives, and internal is not the same. Sure, they make hot swappable, but i still wouldn't recommend it. Clearly large drives weren't made for you, since you have no need of them.
yeah, I don't store THAT much stuff
I already have 8tb of ssd storage, that's enough for me
do need to clear some stuff out, though
woke up, no internet, browser says network unplugged
look at optical ONT, no lights on at all, inspect how its plugged in.. everythings snug
press reset button, it cycles on, everything lights up, internet werks again
even 5mo old fiber equipment needs power cycling π #off-topic message
always be rebootin. atleast that's all it took
My Motherboard LAN port dead in a week on purchase
No lights

pesky aliens, always messing with our shitty end-user hardware; I wish they'd leave my toaster oven alone.
Got my new Asus C100C 10Gb cards today, thanks for the recommendations, DWK!
HD limited on the other PC now, since SATA spinning rust.
539mbyte/sec tells me sata ssd for that move
but yeah, once you get into multigig, platter drives are no longer the bottleneck, especially at 5gbit and 10gbit
that's what I get for not fully waking up
multigig definitely moves the bottleneck

Libraries have rizz (did I do that right)???
You have rizz!
To use a library is to rizzmax.
should I see a doctor about that???
Probably
If your rizz lasts more than four hours, so medical attention.

its been raining super heavy
so far only one person died
they ignored multiple signs that said road out
good video of whatsome places are like
We're doing okay too. The main highway had a landslide for awhile, but it's reopened now. Next thing to worry about for us will be snow.
Leavenworth got hit hard
and now theres no road
they already had to cancel this years lights
Yeah, that's awful! Leavenworth is magical this time of year.
the big cut in tourism was already going to hit hard
It's really sad. I hope they can recover easily!
Say, does anyone know how to go about making a side-account for youtube? I want to separate ordinary content from strictly gaming content, but it feels like the only way to do so is to make a new google account as a whole.
Is it possible for the same google account to control more than one youtube account? If so, how do I set that up?
Yeah you can have many sub channels under the same.login. snoop around in the menu on youtube
Youtube Studio dashboard, sign in to the account you want to use. Look for something worded like "create/add a channel"
This?
Go to this screen https://www.youtube.com/account
I don't know. Cropped shots yield zero context.
You should have a button that says "Create a channel"
"Add or Manage your Channel"
right
Yeah there you go, that's the spot
To be sure, will this new channel be under the same google account?
that phrasing is confusing, but the description at the bottom looks correct
Oh shoot that does show that, I didn't notice lol
Should I obfuscate the email shown there or is it fine
Ty, I appreciate it
Whatever you account you were logged in with when you added the channel.
Just make sure you have two factor on your account.
Ty both for the assistance
Looking for 2FA specifically, is it just verifying a number? If so then it's set now. Otherwise, I cannot seem to find anything that mentions it

Hello, I've been tying to record vertical gameplay for clash content but I face this issue with 2 black bars on the side of my recording since my phone isnt at the perfect ratio for 1080x1920, I tried to fill these bars with a blur setup but it dosnt look perfect. Has anyone else ran into this issue and how did you guys solve it/find a way to make it look better?
Does anything ever come up in that top/bottom bar part? Just crop it to fit 9:16, seems like the game is filling the void anyway
Yeah, I tried that
some elements get cut off and overall it just looks worse
I was considering adding in a background or something but that also didnt look too good 
Move game to one side and have socials/emotes/etc in the small side bar?
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
for the solution i showed in the picture i had to like make a scene that was just the capture and a blur filter then add the gameplay on top of it again, its kinda jank lmao

Good morning! π π₯Ά

Good day everyone I hope youβre streaming and screen recording goes well. Push out that good content. Hope all goes well.

Quick question (and I'm sure its a loaded one) - if you were going to purchase a new laptop for streaming, content making (Canva), and maybe some gaming (mostly use capture card to consoles) what would be the specs you would be looking for. Minimum, middle of the road, and best. Thanks in advance!
Great question to ask in #tech-talk π

My Dell Laptop (Ryzen 5600H,16gb ram,RTX 3050 4gb) has a cheap 120hz VRR panel
It doesnt even work properly even if my fps stays consistent at 70fps in CS2 game. I have tried Silksong game at 60fps lock too still it doesnt work but 60/120hz Vsync works well.
So i changed display hertz to 60hz and using vsync π₯Ί.
3050? yeah...
Why does they release like these products?
on spec sheet it will be mentioned as VRR supported and even in windows settings VRR is enabled but it doesnt even work .
scam cheap vrr panels
Yeah so i got baited by the specsheet of VRR π₯Ί
plus, they don't want it to last forever. The longer it lasts for you, the longer you wait to buy a replacement.
yeah i wondered the same seeing the sudden "every-cheapass-"gaming"-laptop" getting a 144hz panel suddenly and wondered why. surely they did it for the love of gamers, no ulterior motives or other trade-offs 
I mean, higher refreshrates are also nice outside of games
given current supply hell of stuff... screens are cheap, keyboards are cheap, trackpads are cheap... the hardware needed to actually drive it all ain't
Current supply hell is ofc incredibly oh no, but it's been bad for... A WHILE
and yeah, vrr range for cheap laptop inbuilt panels... wouldn't surprise me for the range to start at 72Hz
now... sanely designed stuff would run at 120Hz if the 60fps input it's getting is out of range, 96Hz if it's getting 24fps and so on... but we clearly ain't there are we
instead we're getting dumb VRR that goes "Out of range? Good luck"
hi, i have been using the OBS program for over a year, suddenly i have this error message, ( failed to connect, could not access the specified channel or stream key, ive checked stream key from youtube is correct, so its not that, what else could it be ??

Head to the appropriate support channel for your OS. Nobody is going to email you from here.
it does say there may be a problem connecting to server,
im new to this, so i dont seem to have access to that support group

i am trying multiple output for multistreaming on my pc for the last time before i upgrade
i still got hp notebook 15 fc0000 with 16gb of ram with AMD radeon graphics 610M
which is my integrated graphics
and yeah, not happening.
Believe we've been over this before.
Having the literal weakest RDNA2 chip ain't gonna change the answer.
well this week gonna be my final stream with this pc so
I recommend a single stream at a time, with that pc. My smart refrigerator has a better shot at multistreaming than that laptop.
May the odds be in your favor
ok
its good so far i don't have the spout 2 plugin even installed
i set the bitrate for trovo 2000
Ooh, here's a great idea to FAFO! Stream from a smart fridge. You couldn't run any triple a games, but maybe frogger? LOL
Pretty sure Doom already runs on it. SeemsGood
Right?! Doom runs on a pregnancy test, a fridge is luxury.
nope encoder overload came up for a second then it disappeared
its now working so far
i am going without my vtuber
that is a extra load on my pc just for having that
don't even have a timer
added
Dunno why you even bother coming in asking for advice and/or telling us what you're gonna do if you're just gonna say fuck it and do whatever anyways. Also, setting bitrate won't affect encoder load.
Killer game of Minesweeper, with actual egg cartons inside the fridge.
Dunno why I bother to respond when you're just gonna say fuck it and do whatever anyways, as well.
Hell yeah!

how do u guys even do multistream when youtube,twitch website rules shows its agaisnt their rules
it isn't though
π€ Is it legal and fine to multistream in twitch+youtube at same time?
pretty sure it doeesn't state that
lmfao what
When shit breaks on prod just fake until fixed.
I wanted help with the obs input overlay

the warchmap does good shit
Is Warchmap a champion of war? A drawing of the lands of Warch? A typo? The world may never know.
Warchmap was a typo many moons ago and they keep using that spelling as the inside joke(at least I'm pretty sure thats what I was told)
guess what my pc is currently working without issues with the rtmp i only have two platforms
multi rtmp plugin
the pc seems to be getting balanced more i try to stream with it
well i think its because i made a simpler stream collection with no timer and everything
no vtuber
and merry christmas everyone in this server

I saw a video on YT where there was a preview of the new OBS UI
Will it be possible to toggle back to the old UI without missing updates or it will be mandatory?
No
you can always stay on the old versions, all versions of obs are archived on the github and you can switch to them at will
keeping other OBS engine updates while keeping old ui won't be possible
Due to some anger management issues i have deleted many of my folders from my google drive trash bin .

You can't just come in, drop a pronoun, and assume anyone knows who the fuck you're taking about.

Such things could really be disheartening to people who are just starting streaming and have 0-3 viewers for 6 months. I've seen it happen many times. Good people just give up trying.
