[dusty rune]

isnt that how every storage is

[slow sonnet]

What about if it has the OS?

[mint yacht]

Install OS onto new drive, external drive to move files over then wipe it

[slow sonnet]

So I install the ISO, move the files to an external drive, replace the NVME, boot the ISO from the drive, install Windows as necessary and then add in the new files?

[mint yacht]

Nah
Install new SSD into laptop
Install fresh Windows onto new SSD
Plug old SSD in via external dock
Move files over

[slow sonnet]

Ah.

[broken folio]

You only need your personal files, so you should be able to back those up before doing the fresh install. But you'd have the old drive to boot up until you wipe it.

[slow sonnet]

And backup is easy. Just copy all necessary files to a backup drive, or back them up with antivirus software. Then you can bring the files back in on a new Windows install.

[sharp bobcat]

but why backup with AV software tho

plus

well that's just how life works
you definitely need to install the OS again after installing new drives

I think you meant NVME only Laptops making it hard to expand the storage?

because yes, that's how I feel with lots of Laptops nowadays. NVME is still expensive in some regions

that some people would just prefer having a SATA SSD that is much cheaper than the NVME counterparts

or even worse, the nvme drive they're looking for is not available for some reason

just as an example we literally just officially got our hands on Team MP34 THIS FUCKING YEAR for some reason. That thing has been available since 2019 how the hell that never officially entered Indonesia is just infuriating af

[earnest bolt]

Weird ask but Im putting an aio on an am4 cpu and the top tensioner screw for the clip well

Won't screw

[steep girder]

In most cases it would be better to ask why not 2 cpus

Pretty sure 2 cpu is automatically ram has 2 NUMA domains

It's always exactly double price for whichever cpus you buy

As soon as you get the second hard parallel thread in addition to your first, whichever software your server is running needs to even be able to make use of it.

But to answer your question I think dual socket server boards exist specifically because servers might require more than a current generation architecture's limit of certain sht. Idk more pcie maybe

[vapid smelt]

Use the back plate the aio came with

[earnest bolt]

It says to use the stock am4 one

Anyway I found out what was wrong I just crossthreaded it

[tired thorn]

Is it possible to make a laptop taht has a pentium silver n5030 runs games on lowest graphics possible on atleast 40-45 fps

[steep girder]

When I worked for a company as sys admin, our host in montreal said our main production physical machine saturated everything to even add additional storage. We apparently saturated our pcie, sata and even network. The last additional storage upgrade was SSD array over iSCSI (ethernet)

We couldn't even do that again because it would require an additional ethernet connection lmfao. Their guys told us we maxed its generation and only full switch to next one was possible.

Also we maxed out its ram which was like 1536GB. We were gonna be able to do 2TB or something after server upgrade

But yeah terabytes of ram lmfao. The physical server was just a windows hyper-v host lmfao. It was pretty funny opening task manager and seeing memory usage in TB

[steep girder]

If it has some nvidia m in it as well, then you could maybe run some games decently who knows

[tired thorn]

It has the Intel UHD 630 gpu

[steep girder]

How much ram it's got. Max vram usage is 8 it says. But I'm pretty sure that means it dips into whichever main system ram you have

[tired thorn]

It has 4gb ram

[steep girder]

So you might have max 4gb vram if the igpu has no dedicated at all. In that case, you don't even have all 4 because you still need ram for OS and game

[tired thorn]

Yeah

The laptop was $330 when I got ot, now it's $179

[steep girder]

Eugh 330 was a rip imo

[tired thorn]

Bestbuy

[steep girder]

Honestly 4GB ram 2019+ people should get punished whoever is responsible for releasing such dreck

Did it come with windows 10 too?

[tired thorn]

Yeah but it upgraded to windows 11

It should be on chrome os instead tbh

[long briar]

Pcie lanes and ram capacity for the same rack/pedestal case space

[misty scarab]

Hello all. Is TomsHardware a bad benchmark?

[tired thorn]

I use my phone as pc (samsung dex)

[steep girder]

OOooooff lol. Definitely shouldn't do that. It was bad enough as is. Try seeing if there are minimally drivers for networks, graphics and sound for anything older than 10. 7 is optimal. If you can find all drivers for 7, install that.

[dusty rune]

no its good

[steep girder]

If it came with 10, your oem would usually give backward option win 7; not 8 or 8.1

If you're lucky enough. 2019 there's a big chance you can't find anything on oem site download page for 7 and you have to look around from separate device manufacturers.

[steep girder]

Ye makes sense. Also might not be just a matter of single rack space . Again we ran into limitation because we needed everything hooked up physically one way or another.

Whatever had the RAM and runs the hyper-v guests must have had its virtual disks on volume of same host with decent speed. Even iSCSI was used in an act of desperation eventually. Honestly, iSCSI wasn't that bad because it connected storage in same physical location

But we ran out of even ethernet cards lol. To add another required additional pcie lanes. To add sata pcie lanes. Anything else really. Apparently we saturated that. I mean I hope it was dual socket because if not true limit of that gen might be 2x that

[orchid loom]

where could i post memes?

[slow sonnet]

Yeah. I wanted upgradable laptops. I thought MVME made things less upgradable.

I'm gladntobhear that it isn't soldered on memory at least.

[steep girder]

Tbh just storage could have lift and shifted the NAS server instead. But we wanted more mem and cpu as well so storage would be freed up by machines which we migrated over to new host. Then ceo like went back on the deal w host and sold company lmfao. They are now trying to quickly re-write whole entire app for Azure lmfao

[sharp bobcat]

yes

[steep girder]

The reason why it was on Hyper-V to begin with btw was anyone like Azure would cost like 100x more to host that app. Turns out cheapest general hosting in terms of capacity, network throughput, etc is DIY services on bare metal hyper-v machine

[sharp bobcat]

well... there's no other way other than maybe if you have the willpower, solder a new cpu that's compatible with the laptop mobo chipset and BGA pinout, and also pray it's not a laptop with soldered ram

[sharp bobcat]

wait

it was supposed to be a chrome OS

so it used to be a chromebook?

in that case

F

[steep girder]

Azure managed sql charges like $696969.69 per every 100 db transactions with base of 100$ monthly for every 200 transactions in yearly cap. You get to 'build your own payment plan' at least like how many 100's of usd you're willing to spend for higher cap lol

[sharp bobcat]

well there's a difference between less expandable and less upgradable
in that case, I can't slap a cheap 2.5" sata ssd inside most laptops nowadays

[steep girder]

Do chrome books even have option to add any storage lol

Because tbh you don't really need chrome os. You need minimally just any cloud storage or better yet make a fkn SAMBA share to drive in house NAS and call it C:

[sharp bobcat]

well they don't really talk about chromebooks but laptops in general

[wise pumice]

[slow sonnet]

I never trust Chrebooks after using one in school. Too cheaply made, if you ask me. Though a cheap one can make for a makeshift Linux laptop.

[gaunt sluice]

hey guys i got few questions as for buying new gpu.Im looking for new gpu since my 6900xt broke and i got money back. I either want 7900xtx or 4080.In poland 7900xtx nitro+ starts at 5800zl so around 1150 bucks while good 4080 starts at 7000zl so around 1350 bucks.So which to pick? im using 5800x3d as cpu

oh and i mainly play fps games. I dont like RT so i need raw perf

[calm swan]

7900xtx tbh

[earnest bolt]

7900XTX

the 4080 is.... eh. wouldn't reccomend personally, but also I run Linux so i have extra hands to throw with Nvidia on drivers.

AMD gets better with age if nothing else.

[echo canopy]

Thats not really true with RDNA anymore

[broken folio]

Certainly helps that their drivers are OpenSource if you use Linux perhaps

[broken folio]

It is certainly true that AMD's drivers have improved the stability and performance of their cards in the time after the cards original launch. Big difference between day one of the 6000 series cards for instance and now.

[neon mesa]

i am really tired that people are making the "fine wine" of AMD a pro

[broken folio]

To some extent nVidia seems not to need to do that so much.

[echo canopy]

You arent gonna see the black magic they did with GCN anymore

[neon mesa]

the reason AMD cards are "fine wines" because they're absolute garbo at launch

you can't bring more performance to a chip over their potential

[broken folio]

Just means don't buy them at launch really doesn't it.

[neon mesa]

if they got "better" it simply means they fucked it up at launch

in reality they simply reach their actual potential

[echo canopy]

Well not entierly but in the case of AMD yeah. Nvidia managed to get double the performance then AMD in some games by intercepting directX calls and multithreading them.
Black magic and fuckery

[neon mesa]

there is no black magic
it's just maximizing the potential

like a car that can do 300mph but held back by a 2 ton trailer

[echo canopy]

nvidia didnt get better performance by just having good drivers they got better performance by fixing games shit code

[neon mesa]

okay and it simply proves my point

they simply removed that 2 ton trailer in the analogy

[calm swan]

i mean so did nvidia 💀

[neon mesa]

did i ever defended nvidia here
so i don't see your point

it's funny how anyone criticizing AMD is automatically assumed to be an ngreedia fan

[broken folio]

Been plenty of times both ATi/AMD and nVidia have screwed up card launches over the years.

[neon mesa]

or defending nvidia

[calm swan]

im not defending amd either dont jump to conclusions 💀

[neon mesa]

well then your reply is meaningless

[calm swan]

simply stating something calm down

[past egret]

10 hints youre socially inept

[crude jasper]

RDNA1/2 coping and seething at the sight of a production workload ($1,000 MSRP gpu getting beaten by $330 gpu)

[steep girder]

For linux, it's good enough already if you at least have drivers that work.

[echo canopy]

it shouldnt be the job of a device driver to do that. That should be the game developer lol

[crude jasper]

most of AMDs more relevant driver issues, were more so crippling to the point where you couldn't use the card comfortably

[steep girder]

nvidia gpu owners have a choice of two drivers on linux for a while now:

• Open source free driver developed from scratch in typical free linux contribution way
• Closed source proprietary driver released by nvidia for linux

Usually the one by nvidia is more current in terms of functionality. To be honest I never even tried gaming with nouveau (open source). I think once a long time ago on like 6600GT gentoo we compiled nouveau. Couldnt even run quake 2 properly

But the real pain is that open source community must write driver from scratch since nvidia won't release sources lol.

[long briar]

4080 > 7900xtx if you can get it for less than 150 difference

AMD gets better with age Sort of, but there's no point in which the 6950xt can't do something the XTX can other than AV1

[crude jasper]

XTX uses 45w more gaming and pulls 100W more peak

XT uses like 35w more and 70W more peak

[steep girder]

Well you need minimally peak. Unless you can set like power limit to whatever will go no higher than what you have max load

Imagine having to carefully set game options to avoid instant shutdown. Sounds iffy

Then like oh no oops I turned a bit and cobblestone tesselated path came into view as well. Power becomes off instantly. Game definitely didn't save that day; next boot like C drive error check is actually needed for real

Most people skip error check because fck it I don't want it. Like literally everyone immediately goes into panic mode to snipe any key as fast as possible before it starts.

[manic torrent]

because file systems don't have journals

I mean, it's not like I disagree with your premise that the cards shouldn't peak like that, it's a bad thing, but the worse thing was not knowing.

It's a physical design issue - the cards did not have sufficient capacitors to cover transient load.

[steep girder]

Well irl if windows starts checking ntfs filesystem I know for a fact it's because it wasn't unmounted properly and it still has the dirty bit marked. If the dirty bit is still on at boot it means no matter what last shutdown happened before it had time to properly unmount it

[full fossil]

I have an issue with my corsair ram, it's detected as two different sticks and one of the doesnt light up on the bottom anyone knows how to fix this? Can't find anything.

[manic torrent]

when was the last time you saw windows do a filesystem check that was interruptable - or even visible

[steep girder]

And something did write to it at least to minimally mark file system dirty. That's the proper way to mount ntfs r/w: you mark it dirty and only reset the bit when you unmount.

[manic torrent]

I understand how file systems work, likely far better than you.

and it's.... very far from that simple. modern file systems are extremely resilient.

[fossil frost]

come to think of it. i only ever see it on usb drives now, and fat32 formatted usb drives at that...

and thats mostly because the "eject" button on my PC has never once been touched... ever

[steep girder]

Not too long ago. To be honest it was even clean shutdown from the looks of it. It was a major windows update or inplace update from cd something like that. After update I booted in and action center showed a popup that said scan disk for errors. I didn't because idk the boot up ones where it forces are what i'd expect to take seriously lmfao

[manic torrent]

exactly. The check on a journaled drive takes SFA time, and it also doesn't tell you

[steep girder]

Next reboot after that, it actually gave me the old skool timer press any key to skip checking. I didn't at that point and let it scan. It ended up fixing something on all 3 ntfs volumes so thank god I let it lol

[manic torrent]

"not too long ago"

........ "it was a major update in place from CD"

Pick one.

[steep girder]

It was like a few sec total. Sad reality is that even back in the day, like 99% of people all came across it at least once in their life. Everyone always treated it like immediate panic mode and sniped any key before timer.

[fossil frost]

btw, odd question... there are those cables that let you plug a sata or usb drive into a pc in read only mode... actively stops writes... is there an oposite cable, that will allow write only, and no reads?

[manic torrent]

short answer: no. long answer: sort of.

[steep girder]

But if there are errors in ntfs, can't it lead to worse corruptions if you continue to write without fixing?

Or at least if you have orphaned files which it can recover fully into that lost.dir or whatever you can lose them eventually?

[manic torrent]

Extremely unlikely.

[steep girder]

Like I've had errors where it fixed and I got random files appear in lost dir with their name and contents intact. Just the path somehow got lost I guess.

[manic torrent]

Orphaned files are inodes that have lost their primary name, but are not deleted.

[steep girder]

It was random files which I recognized where they went I recall but don't think they were recently accessed at all...

[manic torrent]

also what the shitting fuck are you doing to your system. I have not experienced a file system issue in windows that I can recall (so like.. last 5ish years?).

[steep girder]

Well thats my main point: you know if there's a forced check at bootup, the dirty bit wasn't unmarked. If you only have Windows boot and the ntfs volume is mounted and has letter in that windows boot, it wasn't unmounted properly.

[steady void]

[glacial sand]

Jesus christ

I had a dream where i was in school and we fucking got warned about a nuke incoming and i ran as fast as possible to the school bunker before the loudest sound i have ever heard in my life

[steep girder]

In that case, you can infer that Windows likely didn't know that the shutdown was happening. This means it couldn't have known to do proper procedure before shutting down; one of those is unmount all fs and unset the bit only then. It could have easily been that windows was still writing something to that volume

[glacial sand]

I woke up so fucking sweaty you could make an olympic swimming pool out of my sweat

[steep girder]

Because ask yourself if Windows ever for a second pauses writing to all mounted volumes lmfao

[gentle slate]

Banks are so fucking annoying holy shit

[timid meadow]

I cant think of the last time i had a filesystem error on any modern pc. Even my unraid rig only runs a parity check a couple times a year because its just never happened

[gentle slate]

0 notification, my debit card keeps getting declined.. for nothing?

[steep girder]

Well that's way scarier lol. The filesystem error would be separate from raid problems I guess

The raid is fine so long as the ntfs corruption is consistent across both disks lmfao

[timid meadow]

Unraid cant have raid problems. Its not raid

[steady void]

the only time ive encountered a file system error on my own system is when i had the fire

[timid meadow]

Unraid is closer to a jbod then raid

[steep girder]

Aren't errors in fs and whatever redundancies those are separate levels

Pretty sure any redundancy across multiple hardware disks would minimally look at them as block devices

[timid meadow]

Idk the specifics. Just thought it was relevant because of the way unraid does its thing. I can pull any individual drive and read data from it as if it was never in the array

Similar to a standard windows drive

[steep girder]

Yeah I mean tbh raid-whatever that mirrors 2 drives doesn't do that right? You can't just take a drive out of raid and use it as one? Even though it's copy

[manic torrent]

.... dude this is the very definition of cargo cultism. You have no idea what you are talking about, and you also seem to be talking about things that are 10+ years old.

[broken folio]

You can, it runs degraded. You shouldn't really do it though as you should get a new drive installed asap to get it rebuilding.

[steep girder]

I'm asking

[manic torrent]

you don't know enough to understand the answer.

[manic torrent]

You absolutely can - none of this is magic.

[timid meadow]

I work security so im constantly envisioning those scenarios and whatd id do

[steep girder]

Wdym. Is it possible to have 2 drives in raid-2 and then just take one out and use normally without doing anything additional?

[full fossil]

uh i forgot how to change my sleep mode screen theme again

nvm it was a screensaver

[manic torrent]

RAID1. And yes. Also - it depends. There's no standard that means it HAS to be.

[timid meadow]

Card read errors? Could be damaged magnet

[steep girder]

Lol I mean there ought to be. You're objectively keeping data on 2 drives identical copies...

[broken folio]

It depends on how the RAID array is created. Is it software or is it hardware. Hardware RAID can have many variations that mean it isn't really that simple.

[manic torrent]

.... again, you don't understand enough to understand the answer.

[broken folio]

a software raid under linux for example would require you to run it degraded and would complain about it, but you could do it. You should be rebuilding asap though.

[manic torrent]

nope, you don't even need that, you can just mount it as is

[broken folio]

I meant if you look in mdadm it will complain about it being degraded

[manic torrent]

yes - but it's still almost certainly just... a contiguous block of bytes that is a filesystem

[manic torrent]

no, I mean you don't need to use md at all.

[broken folio]

I've tended to stick with RAID5 over RAID1

so hav emore limited experience with how it handles RAID1

[tired glade]

Do you have enough drivers for raid5?

[manic torrent]

what, one?

[steep girder]

But my prior question before was if I'm correct to say that for mirror raid, a file system error shouldn't exist. If the file system error is consistently copied over on both mirrored drives, the raid has no problems

[manic torrent]

.... what error caused by what. once again, you are asking questions you don't understand the answer to.

you can have hardware data issues, you can have software data issues. You can have memory bit flipping. There's lots of ways you can end up with garbage

[steep girder]

File system error caused by anything. Corrupt file system. To be honest, yeah it

[manic torrent]

"file system error" is meaningless though

[steep girder]

it's even hard to kind of define what an error is at that point. But ultimately

[manic torrent]

that's everything from a fundamentally corrupt filesystem with broken core data structures to the most minor of metadata update issues

in order to understand how something fails, you have to first understand how it WORKS

[manic torrent]

it's ok, a two drive RAID5 array is RAID1! 😄

[steep girder]

Yeah lol. But ultimately you can say that there's always an intended resulting data on volume at any given point in time. This dumps everything together kind of. Error or corruption would be simply defined as any non-zero amount of bits read back inconsistent to what was 'supposed to be on it'.

[manic torrent]

RAID 5 is XOR of N-1 drives data on the Nth drive. So XOR(1) == 1 .... RAID1!

[tired glade]

Oh, you will do that way

[timid meadow]

And that concludes todays lesson from ClassroomBob

Do your homework kids. Come back tomorrow knowing what all the raid levels are for the pop quiz

[tired glade]

At best

[steep girder]

Wait tbh he did answer it. Kind of the same thing as what I said in question but instead of

'file system error doesn't exist' to RAID, he said 'file system error doesn't exist in general' lol

[manic torrent]

because in order to understand how it fails, you have to understand how it works 🙂

[steep girder]

I mean in ntfs file system error should exist in some way. You have all those nodes, records, whatever of the file system itself which can get corrupted. There are even checksums on that stuff alone right? Or it's just somehow unreadable correctly. NTFS checks and finds errors we said

[tired glade]

Has his system got corrupted?

[pliant karma]

lol I totally haven't done this with my laptop too

[steep girder]

I was gonna say yes but I guess what I mean is my system partition's ntfs itself got corrupted countless times. But it always repaired mostly. The file system got corrupted not the system files themselves

System was windows nt of some sort. One time like one mp3 file itself that I know of got corrupted minimally. Not sure about file system but I wasn't paying attention to file system errors. I was looking more at the bad sectors found on it

[tired glade]

75kw pretty low, then

[polar fern]

Anywhere they need a lot of fresh air

[steep girder]

I mean 2.5GHz or something is closer to the microwave oven waves but 2.4GHz is also decent at doing the same thing.

If you had a 2.4GHz microwave oven with the same power, it'd probably cook the same

[polar fern]

Microwave ovens use magnetrons & the chamber is tuned

Not quite the same

[tired glade]

I need to check what our clean room and operation rooms use

[steep girder]

My main concern is always that the whole thing is leak proofed enough lol

[kind sphinx]

Hello Guys

[tired glade]

Hi

[kind sphinx]

I was wondering if someone could help me out on NGROK http?

[polar fern]

Pretty sure I have Covid. My throat is on fire and I can barely talk without feeling like I’m drinking battery acid

[crude jasper]

guys my router has one of these, should i be worried?

[tired glade]

No

[crude jasper]

🤣

[polar fern]

A transformer? No it’s fine

[steep girder]

But current microwave oven tbh I feel something even a couple meters away. I always hide behind like fridge door or walk away lol. I tried putting phone upstairs and walking down to kitchen with bt headphones playing

When the microwave was on, it literally scrambled the connection lmfao

[kind sphinx]

Drink lemon and tea, it helped me pretty well not going to lie.

[polar fern]

All power bricks are is a transformer & maybe some power smoothing stuff

[eager venture]

I have a ps5 game(spider man miles morales). Is there anyway I can play the game on my pc without a ps5?

[steep girder]

And also for a pretty long distance. It seemed to jam the bt connection in like these diagonal lines of sight radiating from microwave.

[tired glade]

No

[kind sphinx]

Anyways, could someone help me out with NGROK http? Just say no or yes, say something.

[polar fern]

I’m not drinking acidic stuff breh

[crude jasper]

you can use a capture card to make it display on the same screen, but you could just buy the game and get the same result.

with no PS5 at all? capture card will not work

[kind sphinx]

Acidic? It's not acidic.

It's just lemon and tea

[polar fern]

Lemon juice is absolutely acidic

[crude jasper]

it is acidic but it still helps your throat lol ~ i would add honey though

[kind sphinx]

Yeah, I forgot to say that.

[polar fern]

Nah. All that stuff is super astringent.

[steep girder]

Pretty sure even distilled water is acidic for our bodies. Try putting it up your nose. It burns

[polar fern]

Yes

[kind sphinx]

Your nose is something else

Of course it's going to burn

[steep girder]

To us a certain amount of salt in water is not acidic

[polar fern]

It’s not acidic, it’s neutral but barely anything is neutral

Water is a natural solvent - it wants equilibrium. That’s why we have carbolic & carbonic acid in the oceans - high atmospheric co2 levels

[steep girder]

Right but to our bodies (or maybe most animals should be), neutral is too acidic. We need saline water

[crude jasper]

taste wise or are you talking medical term ~ cause the latter is hardly relevant considering the other things it does

[crude jasper]

our body is naturally alkaline

[steep girder]

Taste-wise too because the degree of salinity the water our bodies needs is noticeably salty to the taste lmfao

[crude jasper]

even our blood is basic

[tired glade]

You mean we have kidneys?

[polar fern]

Honey and tea and lemon juice is astringent, not soothing. Lemon is recommended for flavor & honey can be antimicrobial. Tea

[steep girder]

Yee. I guess everything that comes out of an ocean draws its baseline at ocean water lmfao

[polar fern]

Tea is also mildly antimicrobial

But it’s astringent

[crude jasper]

OK and

[tired glade]

You forgot *

[steep girder]

Then again wtf no. The ocean is too salty. My eyes burn in ocean water. What a bummer. Neutral water burns eyes because it's too acidic but ocean water burns eyes because it's too basic

Literally the worst of both worlds lmfao.

[polar fern]

Anyone suggesting lemon & tea for a sore throat has no business recommending shit

[crude jasper]

🤣

you're hilarious

[tired glade]

Sodium and lemon

[steep girder]

I know the hudson bay is like 1/3 salt of ocean or something. But hudson bay water probably hurts too because like 0.1C or ice

[polar fern]

If you’re gonna have tea you wanna put milk & like coconut sugar in it

Lemon & honey tf

“Here, let’s make your sore throat worse!”

[crude jasper]

that's simply not true lol

[tired glade]

Honey and lemon is healing, not cleaning

[polar fern]

No it’s fucken not

Lemon is for flavor. Has no benefit

[tired glade]

But people, you know, fish moved to land was about 650 million years ago and evolution is a thing

[tired glade]

Lemon is catalyst for honey

[polar fern]

Honey is antimicrobial not antiviral & only mildly so & it strips mucus & makes it feel worse

[steep girder]

Lemon has vitamin c

[polar fern]

No. 🤦‍♂️

[tired glade]

That also

[polar fern]

Holy hell guise. No.

Read up on chemistry jfc

[crude jasper]

yet no studies agree with you

[steep girder]

Idk I think it's the honey that actually does have some antimicrobial or anti inflammatory properties. Or it's the wax

[tired glade]

It's closer to biology

[native cloud]

You can also chew ginger root

[polar fern]

That’s for stomach

[crude jasper]

honey is antiphlogistic and antimicrobial ~ noone disagreeing there

[steep girder]

Both lemon and honey are hella nutritious. Only problem is it's perhaps too much lol. Lemonade like rinse your mouth every time after dentists say because it melts enamel. Honey has a lot of sugar so diabetic should be careful for sure

[tired glade]

Depends on lemon and honey

[steep girder]

Meh idk. Lemon and lime both always sour asfk every time I encounter them

are you gonna say Benadryl is ineffective too? @polar fern

[tired glade]

Oh, honey works

[whole swallow]

gotta mix the lemon and honey with whiskey for maximum efficacy

Or at least that's what I tell myself

[tired glade]

Hot flower tea will be way more comfy

[wise bison]

rolex yes

[tired glade]

Rolex?

[finite cloud]

Better watch your grammar

[tired glade]

That's the watch company, what grammar?

[midnight idol]

try not to argue about stupid shit in general chat for one day challenge level impossible

and it's always the same couple people

[near nymph]

Doesn't benedryl have some weird problem long term?

[midnight idol]

no?

not if you're smart and don't overdose

[manic torrent]

Honey is actually the most effective cough medicine. They used it as a comparison in a study and accidentally found out it was better than any cough medicine

[jolly sonnet]

Hello Everyone.

[glass lantern]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv68DWKQ9zA

There is this couple that lives off grid and they installed 10.5kW of solar in North Idaho... like is it just me or should they have went half wind half solar is such an latitude.

[manic torrent]

Wind has moving parts and is therefore inherently more problematic. Would be nice as an option but mehhhhh

[midnight idol]

[glass lantern]

but there system is so oversized just because of their latitude with Half wind half solar each with a maxium of 5.25kW like for 6 months of the year it wouldn't even matter if the wind turbine was down.

[midnight idol]

bro graduated from the Mc Donald's menu

[glass lantern]

like that 5.25kW of solar is a LOT of solar.

[midnight idol]

agreed

then again we have one of the largest solar farms
but at a latitude of like 35

[glass lantern]

the main issue with wind is that it's not really any good until you need a lot of power because the length of the turbine I believe has is wind speed x turbine length to the power of 4 so small turbines are kinda dumb, but 5.25kW aint small.

[steep girder]

@manic torrent Do you know anything about partitioning and file systems on cdroms? Because that's where I think nobody knows exactly what they're talking about to this day lol

You get like an audio cd which seems to have music tracks 2 and up but just track 1 sounds like 56k modem on steroids and makes your ears bleed

[glass lantern]

also small trubines are loud...

[wispy marsh]

Doesn’t honey also provide a small cashback on all of your purchases on shopping sites?

[manic torrent]

Honey by PayPal(TM) will search for the best coupons to apply to your cart, saving you money!

[steep girder]

Turns out it's like 8pp game sprites and bytecode written on there with no index at all except an expected entry point to code which knows addresses of where sprite frames are

Now that's a file system that can't get errors. There is no file system

[manic torrent]

Dude. That is literally a file system.

[manic torrent]

I do, but it is fundamentally different to standard drives.

[steep girder]

Yeah. The file system is there I guess but the index is like dynamic code which you only get once the code runs to that spot lmfao

[manic torrent]

Files are not real

[steady void]

Honey can be also used as a preventative mechanism for hayfever! Just start taking local fresh honey before the season starts and feel the magic!

[manic torrent]

Filesystems are not real. Your disk is a linearly addressable space that just has a bunch of data on it.

[glass lantern]

Also I would like to point out that currently they are having to use a desel generator in the winter to supplement the solar, so moving parts their too, so...

[steep girder]

Well the partitioning is weird on cds. Idk maybe you know. There's a trick with iso I remember because the partition tables are inside it. So you have tracks and a part for data but that's where partitioning can go. It was some weird sht like that. Iso is special somehow

[glass lantern]

with half wind half solar they probably wouldn't need at least such a large generator.

[steep girder]

Right. But on cds there was something about a data 'partition' which can have mbr inside of it. So the addressesing happens within just a data portion of the disk or something

[manic torrent]

I mean, I would certainly be investigating options to reduce external power. Geothermal might be better.

[manic torrent]

Yes. CDs have tracks. There's a bunch of different standards about how they go.

[steep girder]

Yeah. CD tracks can have fs too I guess. You can probably even put a gpt partition table inside and read the audio as block device or something :P

[glass lantern]

Erm what, I don't think there are many fualt lines through Idaho so... unless you want to dig for a mile or so and even then not boil water but just get hot water, unless you are talking about using latent heat in the ground to run a heat pump.

[steep girder]

Although it's not meant for that for sure lol.

[manic torrent]

I mean you could, but there are very specific ways that CDs handle audio

[manic torrent]

Yes, using the temperature differential between the earth and ambient to do work.

[winged ferry]

are teamgroup ssds good?

[steep girder]

Yeah but you don't read it as audio like literally everyone else because those specific ways are standard audio formats. Not sure if there's even more than one because I only ever came across 44.1 16bit stereo

But since you consider game data like sprites still in a filesystem because something arbitrarily gets loaded as code and runs until eventually knowing where to read pictures from or something...

[glass lantern]

That is not for electricity though, thats for heating which to be fair they are running their heating off electricity... which yes I agree is insanly ineffeicent, which changing over to a heat pump would reduce the electricity consumption by ~1/3 and thats just running a heat pump of ambient tempeture air.

[manic torrent]

There is more than one. And there is specific ways to recover the data etc

[steep girder]

Actually then it's like booting. The bios is whatever is on the machine w cd player. It knows track 1 and where on it to at least run game

[manic torrent]

Energy is energy. You can convert it to electricity or use it as heat (or cooling). It's a matter of doing it in the most effective way

[steep girder]

But still you could have like the game hard coded value which changes depending on version. Depending on which version though it multiplies by something and that's an address where first sprite frame is.

[glass lantern]

The only way I can think of getting electricity out of a 20C difference is to run a peltier cooler in reverse.

which would be insanely ineffecient

[steep girder]

Programmer: game data has additional 8kb before images start depending on version
File index: shifts by multiple of game version for some reason

[glass lantern]

technically it's possible to do with by running a heat pump, but heat pumps we can build would consume more electric than they would generate.

[steep girder]

Bad file system lol. Also probably repair and recover files

[glass lantern]

ah suppose a sterling engine might be able to get useful energy out.

but it would have to be a rather large engine and even then the efficency would be for shit.

better than a reverse peltier, but a 20C delta just isn't enough to do anything efficiently.

as said better to use it for making heating and cooling more efficent.

[steep girder]

One pulled a whole train somehow right

But like in general a lot of power means heat expansion was from coal shoveles into furnace lmao

[glass lantern]

Yeh, but that was probably with coal which like burned at 2000C or so not 20C

[steep girder]

Piston engine kinda more compact versiob tho

[fierce moth]

What's up everyone

[steep girder]

Its pushes piston up but sealed. Maybe where a lot of sterling engines heat expansion lost

[glass lantern]

I'm assuming you mean internal combustion engine, because a sterling engine uses pistons.

[steep girder]

Then heats up by exploding briefly whenever it needs to in cycle. Times

[manic torrent]

Or for heating/cooling the solar panels or battery systems etc etx

[steep girder]

Diesl generator lol

[manic torrent]

Also, insulation >>>> energy.

[steep girder]

Timed combustion

[manic torrent]

Not expending energy you don't have to is way easier than generating it

[crude jasper]

last time i saw a stirling engine be used was for a fan ontop of a grill stove.

[manic torrent]

This is why you have to address it holistically

[glass lantern]

also the internal combustion engine is quite inefficient, but rather than a sterling engine you would use a gas turbine where weight and size is not a limitation.

[manic torrent]

Used in submarines because it's balanced and quiet.

[steep girder]

Weight isn't that important is it

Like gravity pulling piston down because theyre upright?

[manic torrent]

Gas turbines are absolutely dog shit at anything other than optimal rpm. But if you can store the extra energy, perfect.

[manic torrent]

Total engine weight matters when you're moving 🙂

[raven pelican]

at least ICEs do what they were designed for quite well

[glass lantern]

Well with a gas turbine you just generate electricity then run the electric motors at whatever RPM you want.

[steep girder]

Oh wait mass timing and crap. But once you get rotor engine torqued up

[crude jasper]

They tried doing it, ended up needing a super heavy flywheel that would either kill the driver or cause catastrophic damage if disturbed

[raven pelican]

if we're talking about peak efficiency, you'd achieve that by everyone going super fast all the time

[steep girder]

I thought he meant like the energy to get it mechanically spinning

[manic torrent]

Not at all. There are multiple turbine powered vehicles.

[raven pelican]

well, that isn't quite possible
peak efficiency isn't exactly attainable and every solution has flaws

[manic torrent]

A modern ICE is actually very effecient.

[raven pelican]

VERY efficent

[crude jasper]

Meant in general use passenger cars ~ not very practical for those. anything larger and it's easier

[raven pelican]

i mean just look at formula one engines

[manic torrent]

Yeah I mean general use cars. There are severe limitations, but it's absolutelypossible

[crude jasper]

if you lose the flywheel you have total crud acceleration

[steep girder]

Yeah lol. Fusion because it fused into something that's about to fission harder immediately. Then you harness still nuclear fission energy ultimately by heating up water and moving a giant sterling engine lmfao

[raven pelican]

If you loose the flywheel you can't shift lmao

[wise bison]

I just got attacked by a onewheel

[steep girder]

Or turbine. Either way you boiled something to push with its heat

[crude jasper]

are we talking about the same sterling engines? cause it seems like you guys are talking more specifically steam engines

[manic torrent]

Sterling is a type of rotating assembly, not a specific power method.

[raven pelican]

Oh are we talking ice vs steam or whatever?

[steep girder]

Well it's worse than combustion engine. It's just steam engine. The beta version of closed piston

[crude jasper]

well a stirling engine isn't a steam engine

one is closed loop vs something that needs to be topped up with water

stirling engine will never be opened again once manufactured

[steep girder]

But it's boiling a hella lot of water and there's a lot of this energy because atoms nucleus decays that heats up water

[raven pelican]

That looks like it would make like

No power

[glass lantern]

40% efficiency is not exactly very efficient, like electric cars are like 95% efficient or something like that. if you are talking about actually generating the power locally gas turbines can reach 55%.

again not putting a gas tubine in a car though

[crude jasper]

it does ~ just uses the same concept heatpipe CPU coolers do. it's more practical for setting on top of like a woodstove to power a fan

[raven pelican]

F1 enjin thermal efficiency >50%

[steep girder]

But I think regardless there's no 100% efficiency in fission nuclear because you have to convert like electrons and positrons flying out. You could have neutrons shooting out too.

[crude jasper]

it needs a heat differential to make any power

[steep girder]

Idk but absorb it and yeah tbh it's already hot so nice

[raven pelican]

100% efficiency isn't really realistically possible tbh

[glass lantern]

6.2 mpg...

[raven pelican]

I said thermal efficency

[crude jasper]

yes it is its called a space heater

[glass lantern]

okay okay 7 mpg

[raven pelican]

that's fuel efficiency bro

[steep girder]

But in theory there can't be 100% efficiency in those reactions of fundamental force? It's all tied to like 0 kelvin perfect vacuum

I think in those conditions just physics gives you true 100% efficiency already. Absolute 0 can't be reached

[raven pelican]

well i bet the closer you get to 0 kelvin it probably becomes quite unstable?

[steep girder]

True vacuum I don't think exists anywhere either. Even intergalactic space apparently has its own non-zero temp and electromagnetic pressure or whatever

[steep girder]

Idk it's never simple at that point. Unstable could be like you smash matter enough to ball up into not 3 usual quarks, disappear one or add one somehow lol

[crude jasper]

it doesn't exist anywhere cause of quantum physics and particles popping up out of nowhere

[glass lantern]

I was pulling your leg dude.

[raven pelican]

lmao

[manic torrent]

everything is EXTREMELY stable when you're that cold 🙂

[raven pelican]

lmao

[crude jasper]

if this wasn't a thing ~ it very much would exist on the edge of the universe due to it expanding faster than the speed of light

[manic torrent]

ehhhh, it isn't.

the key to that is relativity.

[turbid nexus]

is eufy like a hard avoid or is it generally fine to use

[steep girder]

Idk it gets to a point where it's insanely unstable the more energy you spend on arranging it into some insane exotic combination of 69 quarks

[gilded forge]

nice

[steep girder]

Then it falls back apart in 6.9x10^-999999999999999999! seconds

Quarks pop up, disappear or change colors back into proton

[manic torrent]

hard avoid. I would use them if I had them already, but would not buy

[turbid nexus]

ah ok

they seem like good deals and support homekit but ill avoid them

whats the problem with them, i assume use security?

[manic torrent]

They leaked data to the cloud when they clearly and specifically stated they did not. And then double down on the bullshit.

[steep girder]

Like same energy you spent on some glueball or tetraquark falls back apart into stable thing quickly. The energy is transferred back that way

[turbid nexus]

ah yeah no sketchy not worth it

[manic torrent]

aside from that, absolutely shitty behaviour worth punishing/not rewarding.

[steep girder]

That's how I understand it because the official answer is tetraquarks won't turn the earth strange and everyone dies

[fierce moth]

Eh, that would be a interesting way to die tho

[manic torrent]

Seen avenue 5?

[fierce moth]

Nope

[manic torrent]

Idiots throw themselves out of the airlock.

[steep girder]

Yeah but the idea is that if you get to a high enough energy one day, there apparently could be even an island of stability where only when you added 10000th prime amount quarks to megaparticle, it became perhaps more stable than even our elements

[fierce moth]

A blessing in disguise

[steep girder]

Because particles popping up could behave in some new way. That's how I understand it. Maybe it's a stupid explanation

[fierce moth]

I don't get what of most of Ur saying lol

[manic torrent]

the details aren't super important. The basic gist is that RANDOM SHIT HAPPENS at a very very very basic low level and we're not entirely sure exactly what and why

... and it does or does not, or (does and does not) affect things 😄

[steep girder]

It does the classic observation. It does and does not affect super observer

Super observer sees two of whatever classic is at once. If you're talking about affecting what happens then they see both at once idk

Superposition of what's going on lol and what's not

Makes sense I'll stop trying to visualize

[fierce moth]

🥴

[steep girder]

Picture aside from figuring out the which is which observer or the physics observing but you also see from two people looking at something and measuring at once

Simply doesn't happen it seems. People do.

People as individuals seem to be only thing expressing/interpreting eachother physically

The outcome of quantum physics does happen a human must admit.

Because it's shared by the opposite thing human communicated to. There's a positive logic just in physics somewhere maybe ;)

It happens because two classical observer. You can't say anything more than what's observed happens and the rest doesn't. That should be it.

[mint abyss]

Hey guys, help me decide which ram to buy. I know their cas latency is different and the silicon power is slightly faster. However my main concern is their build qualities/stability and their warranty reputations in Canada. Will be paired with a Ryzen 5600x and a gigabyte b550m. Thanks!

Unlike something like RT, it seems like nanite is just a great boost in computing-power-to-graphics

[steep girder]

I wish ue2 had same licensing as udk did

And carmack and romero lan party myhouse.wad on skulltag

[steep girder]

RT is might be necessary direction. Materials could be written for rt with nothing left to add. Just add ray density speed of gpu.

[rare hamlet]

Would eye glass cloth work for cleaning off thermal paste in combination with 99% alcohol

[red breach]

you can just use paper towel and alcohol lol

no need to wreck a microfiber

[rare hamlet]

I have a whole pack of them that won’t be used

[placid crest]

Whatever happened to Anthony? He's been... mysteriously missing...

[midnight idol]

bro is oblivious

[placid crest]

I'm not, but I'm not known to be in the loop with things.

[steep girder]

You probably don't have use for the alcohol

[midnight idol]

[steep girder]

And no cloth that static discharges conductive anything

[full fossil]

wsg'

[steep girder]

Since youre cleaning off thermal paste idk

[rare hamlet]

Who the hell drinks 99% alc it would kill u

[steep girder]

When did I say drink it lol. I mean don't put it in socket.

[rare hamlet]

The cpu is going to be out of the mobo I need to wipe away the paste

[steep girder]

Where is the paste. 99 is good tho

[red breach]

wet the cloth not the chip

[placid crest]

Huh. Well, onya LMG for welcoming them!

[rare hamlet]

The paste is on the cpu and cooler?

[rare hamlet]

Yea I’m just pouring a bit on the cloth and wiping it

[red breach]

perfect you're golden

[rare hamlet]

Yea so a microfiber and 99% alc alr

[red breach]

if you already have these things yes

[steep girder]

Id go like paper towel tho

[rare hamlet]

I need to send my mobo back for RMA so

[red breach]

you can use paper towel, which would be my rec as to not waste a microfiber

[rare hamlet]

Yea

[red breach]

you could also use a silk sheet but like that's a waste of silk lol

[steep girder]

And there's nothing around cpu socket that you can fry until next component. Just dont get into socket but if cooler is mounted fine. Just scoop up the paste lol

[rare hamlet]

I don’t want any lint or paper towel paper on it tho

[steep girder]

Ye paper towel easiest. Tissue or toilet paper definitely lint

[rare hamlet]

I have to take the motherboard for an RMA so im going to put the ssd, cpu back in it’s box

[steep girder]

Cloth if you're sure it's not the kind to zap everything

[rare hamlet]

I need paste off

[red breach]

cloth is fine, just know it needs to go in the trash

thermal paste cannot be completely removed from a cloth

[rare hamlet]

It’s just touching the cpu, the cpu will not be on the motherboard it will be out of its socket

[red breach]

and a microfiber like, goes near peoples eyes it's a bad rub

[rare hamlet]

Yea Ik

[steep girder]

Paper towel doesn't hold charge I guarantee it. Cloth idk how it compares. Microfibre sounds fine as long as it's all microfibre idfk lol

[ocean narwhal]

holy fuck this steam issue is annoying

literally cant change account or it just breaks, and the malware that is steam means you have to find the very specific .exe in the details page to kill it or else the sub-processes respawn

[steep girder]

Oh yeah I have to log in to gta v to see if they houdini'd my cars

I cleared download cache and had to log in again idk. Seems to work with fancy new gui

[ocean narwhal]

When I hit the change accounts button it tells me like 'steamid' is not a variable on undefined or smth

[rare hamlet]

Contact steam

[steep girder]

But gta v made a paywall for half the cars apparently. That's the real break. The problem is 53298752398 more people who ped dropped cash and bought all cars. Rockstar doesn't have a way to tell who's hacker

[gentle slate]

Nah online payment. Turns out they had changed their Auth system for the 3rd time this year. Soo it was throwing a fit

[steep girder]

Just go to real steam site and download. Install to same directory your same steam is at

https://store.steampowered.com/about/

steamid sounds like bsa

[fierce moth]

Their ac is absolutely dog shit

[ocean narwhal]

Not a download issue

[steep girder]

bs. steam and a bunch of webhelpers exe should be running and 1 service

[fierce moth]

Like I almost always have to play on a invite only session

[ocean narwhal]

Ya u have to make sure you click on steam.exe and not steamwebhelper or steamservice or they just respawn

and annoying because that means you cant just type "steam" into task manager or else youll get webhelper or smth

[steep girder]

or try deleting clientregistry.blob idk usual suspect

But you can always just reinstall steam and log in lmfao. Also whatever is causing error which shouldn't happen: you'll have actual steam download idk try it

b450m steel legend or the tuf pro II
decided to just save on cash and not get the b550m pro4 to save money

put the extra towards the 5600

[daring zephyr]

Anyone know why i'm play long video youtube in browser, the website is freeze and crash?

[vapid smelt]

no other b550/x570 boards at the price of the b450 tuff/legend?

[neon mesa]

that b450 tuf/legend is like 90 bucks, hard to beat

a shitty b550m ds3h is 110

and the b550m steel legen is like 140

50 bucks is the difference between a used 3600 and a new 5600

[steep girder]

So every car except for best 2 gone from gta garage

[full fossil]

[steep girder]

GG. I'm playing the remaster because it just became better

i want two m.2 so there isn't much even if i am willing to get a lesser model at 90 bucks

back to your og question the tuf is a better board

[neon mesa]

alright then i'll get that one

one final upgrade before i can ditch this fucking 2200G

though with this b450 i can in the meantime also OC my 2200G to 4GHz

which squeezes bit moreee life out of it

[vapid smelt]

could you send me the website you are using to buy the boards i really want to look for a good b550/x570 thats under $ 95

pcie gen 4 would be great to have

[neon mesa]

this site is my equivalence of amazon, there isn't any, i've looked for days before coming to those two options i asked

gen 4 is a nice to have but right now not a need to have

[vapid smelt]

does your area have a good used market for boards?

[neon mesa]

i found many good deals but they're full atx boards and my case is micro atx

the used market sucked for this

and a lot asked for prices very close to unopened ones so blehh

and i'm not touching ds3h boards with a ten foot pole

[vapid smelt]

even here in the US for a b550 micro atx its over $110

[neon mesa]

if i wanna get over budget the b550m pro4 is 110

but like linus said, those "what are 10 bucks" adds up

i am guilty of this so many times and end up spending way more

[steep girder]

nvm carns not gone

Gta V still have my cars confirmed 2023. What did they remove

[vapid smelt]

hey the b550 Ds3h is a perfectly fine board could handel a 5800x

k , gigabyte makes the best names

[polar fern]

Remember to clean your fans & blow the dust out your psu regularly.

[neon mesa]

considering at the same tier as the Tuf Pro might as well save money

[vapid smelt]

b450 TUF Pro II is much better 5950x level

[neon mesa]

oh there's the pro 1

[full fossil]

Am4 I see

[neon mesa]

alright then easy purchase

[full fossil]

Wassup nerds

Just bought a black peerless assassin 120 for my 5600x 😎

[neon mesa]

also someone is selling used tuf pro II for 80, "used" since it is bought but turns out to be incompatible with his shit. still with the full warranty, but fucker ghosted me for some reason

[vapid smelt]

maybe he found out how to flash the bios

[neon mesa]

also tier A means i can get 5800x3D in the future?

[vapid smelt]

ofc

[neon mesa]

a lot of life left

[full fossil]

Am4 my beloved

[neon mesa]

yeah i'll order the tuf pro II right now

same day delivery because i'm impatient af

[full fossil]

you dont need to have a separate physx card anymore

[full fossil]

Fake arch user

Makes games that use physx run better or no?

[fierce moth]

Hmm nah

[full fossil]

Still haven’t said I use arch btw

[fierce moth]

I have to?

[steep girder]

Because I use gentoo

[full fossil]

Legally obliged to actually, it’s in arch terms and condition

[steep girder]

gentoo is arch but you compiled it lol

Same way i feel

[full fossil]

Real

I have a job again

[steep girder]

As who

you no longer need a dedicated physx card
that means, inherently, that having a dedicated card for physx wouldnt help
if anything it'd slow it down if you used an old one

like internet recovery from a mac's firmware?

[crystal pike]

yeah no...
OpenCore

[red breach]

oh, hacky unsupported solution is hacky and unsupported, oh well

my advice would be to get the installer files from a working install's app store but

[steep girder]

hackintosh

https://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Hackintosh-in-a-Virtualbox

But you have to be able to use macos like if you own a macintosh maybe

Legal answer

Don't click on mediafire link because it's illegal

[crystal pike]

i mean either way i cant do that

i dont own a mac which is why im using opencore to download the recovery disk in the first place

[red breach]

i am calling the FBI /s

If you're on mac the magic touchpad is great

[finite cloud]

if only apple made a mouse as good as they made a trackpad

[granite tinsel]

yeah the magic trackpad is fantastic

[finite cloud]

actually you can technically use the touchpad on other stuff but you're limited with it and it has to be plugged in. i may or may not have done that before

[granite tinsel]

does the two-finger right click still work?

[finite cloud]

i cant remember if its that or corner click. i think its two finger

[granite tinsel]

on macOS you can configure it to either be corner or two-finger; two-finger is the default

[finite cloud]

yeah but when you plug it into something not mac it bypasses all settings entirety

[granite tinsel]

ah, gotcha

so then two-finger only

[finite cloud]

mhm

its basically just a flat mouse when plugged into something else. its good if you need a mouse and thats all you have

[umbral sail]

Whats a good price range for a used 3080?

[stray apex]

400 or so

[dawn gazelle]

Refurbished and/or used 3080s are around $1000 ish here

[spiral summit]

Damn that's really expensive

[midnight idol]

found one on Amazon for 380 usd

so yeah probably around 400

[sudden prairie]

when linus says emplye on probation? what does that mean? isnt probation like giving watch guards to people who came out of prison?

[tepid jasper]

no its just a period in which an employee may leave or be terminated without consequence, provided that the reason is not discriminatory i believe

or something along those lines

[full fossil]

NVIDIA will do '12G for everyone' for 5000 series cards, with 5050 meaning confirmed to be 12G

and also, expect a huge performance leap from 4000 series

[sudden prairie]

what? how can there be a period of time where emplye leave or be terminated WIHTOUT CONSEQUANCE?

that makes no sense, you cant just fire people at random, jsut cause they didnt work there for 5 years or smth

i dont get it

[tepid jasper]

https://www.welcomebc.ca/Work-in-B-C/Working-in-B-C#:~:text=The first 3 months of,notice or 2 weeks'%20pay.

If a person has worked for an employer for less than 3 months, the employer does not need to give written notice or compensation. The first 3 months of work are often called the “probationary period”.

[tepid jasper]

or well, not without consequences, just without written notice or compensation

[sudden prairie]

ah i see, is that like standard?

[tepid jasper]

A worker may not do their job well. A worker may also not behave well (for example, being late for work). The employer cannot fire the worker the first time the problem happens. They must warn the worker that the behaviour is unacceptable. They must explain how to fix the problem. They must give the worker time to change. The employer must give a final warning that the worker will be fired if they do not change.

[tepid jasper]

yes thats every job here

Hello. Should i upgrade to Windows 11? My Pc is offering

[ashen zodiac]

if you want a buggy OS that constantly nags you to use Edge sure. if you want a stable OS that mostly stays out of your way stick with 10.

[graceful burrow]

it's never nagged me to use edge lol

[full fossil]

So no im guessing

[graceful burrow]

never nagged me about anything, actually

[ashen zodiac]

except it opens Edge every chance it gets. when you click on a link from widgets for example.

[graceful burrow]

ive never had that happen

[ashen zodiac]

it's a no, correct. until 2025 when 10 goes EOL you should just stick with 10

[graceful burrow]

or try win11 if you want, it's your decision

you have free will, after all

[full fossil]

Also @ashen zodiac I just reset my pc with my files still left on it. Now its telling me im missing all sorts of dll stuff and NOW im getting an error on almost every exe. that the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)

Any help?

[graceful burrow]

#1027757333117415424

[full fossil]

My fault OG

[ashen zodiac]

what? lol

[buoyant timber]

don't think it has asked me to use edge more than 10 did

[ashen zodiac]

@ me in a tech support thing i'll look lmao

[buoyant timber]

aka once

[ashen zodiac]

then you clearly haven't used it. either that or the nagging varies by region, which is possible given local laws against monopoly companies

[graceful burrow]

"your experience doesnt match mine therefore it didnt happen!"

[buoyant timber]

I use it at home and at work
and have been using it at home since the start of the year

[graceful burrow]

ive been using 11 since the first preview build was available

[ashen zodiac]

if you like it that's fine, i just hate it. 10 works fine, i advise people to stick with what works

[graceful burrow]

i advise people to do what they want

[buoyant timber]

the only thing that bugged me personally are either easily fixed (like the context menus) or were fixed with a patch (like opening taskmanager fro your taskbar)

[ashen zodiac]

i don't want to use third party software just to have an acceptable experience.

[buoyant timber]

then just set the registry key by hand?

[ashen zodiac]

ah yes, an OS that requires you to edit the registry to make it usable. great experience.

[buoyant timber]

to be fair you don't need the new context menu for it to be useable

[graceful burrow]

an os that requires you to edit the registry to make it the way you like
ive done similar modifications to 10 as well lmao

average power user things

[ashen zodiac]

you do if you use for example 7-zip, notepad++, Teracopy...

[buoyant timber]

and if you are power user enough use all of those you can take the minute to change a registry key

[ashen zodiac]

7zip is not a power user app lmao

you need it practically because of Windows's awful filetype support

[buoyant timber]

well than have fun getting stuck on what the "last good one" in your opinion, basically all qualify for that position for some people (except like vista ig)

[nimble junco]

why is linux so complicated

[graceful burrow]

its not
it's just very different

[nimble junco]

same difference

[graceful burrow]

not really
what's giving you trouble?

[buoyant timber]

gatekeeping

[ashen zodiac]

that'd be 7, but i'm not stupid enough to use that. i loved 8.1 too, super stable. but i don't use that either cuz i'm not stupid.

[graceful burrow]

yeah linux has a huge gatekeeping problem

[wispy marsh]

Linus*

Linus Lavigne

[nimble junco]

docker, so I setup my minecraft server with docker but I cant control the folder only docker can, but without access to the folder its a pain to install plugins and edit config files idk how to get access to the folder without revoking the access of docker

[buoyant timber]

I mean that is more on docker

[graceful burrow]

yeah
idk shit about docker i wont lie

ive only set up one container on windows and had no clue what was goin on lol

[buoyant timber]

iirc you had to set up the shared folder right so you get access to it

but has been like 3 years since I last touched docker and I barely did anything with it

[nimble junco]

yea but Im having to use cli and it seems to be a problem with ubuntu perms

[buoyant timber]

did you create the folder as sudo?

[ashen zodiac]

if i recall you need to do this

https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/

[nimble junco]

owning the folder causes errors withing docker because it cant acess the file if I take over ownership

[manic torrent]

docker is easy. First you just have to fully understand how you linux works

[buoyant timber]

can you just chmod 777 the folder?

[manic torrent]

and the just add the docker bits

[ashen zodiac]

just the first part of it @nimble junco to add yourself to the docker group. that should fix the perms

[nimble junco]

I did that alreaddy

[ashen zodiac]

then idk

[nimble junco]

huh?

cause I can run docker commands without sudo its just accesing the folder that I cant do

[buoyant timber]

you might have created the folder with sudo in terminal and try to access it with a different user in the GUI
chmod is for giving access rights to folders 777 is just all perms for everyone

[manic torrent]

Being able to run docker commands has zero to do with accessing directories

[manic torrent]

Yes, and anytime you 777 anything, you're doing it wrong - less of a concern generally with docker because it's compartmentalized, but still, wrong

[nimble junco]

so then what do I do

Error:    /home/voids/mcdocker/plugins/floodgate-spigot.jar: open for write: permission denied
Error:    File transfer failed
Status:    Retrieving directory listing of "/home/voids/mcdocker/plugins"..```

[manic torrent]

Ahhhh, yeah so when it's building/assembling the docker it's failing to write the jar file.

[nimble junco]

no this is a file transfer over ftp failing due to folder permissions denied

[manic torrent]

Oh, so it has nothing to do with docker

A) how is ftpd setup. B) FTP is garbage, it's 2023

[wispy marsh]

Might be docker user having insufficient perms

[nimble junco]

it has to do with docker because I cant write to the folder even on the main server, my perms for that folder are read only(docker owns the folder)

[wispy marsh]

But scp is inconvenient

You'd have to know how to type words to use scp

[manic torrent]

docker isn't a user as such, that's not how it works.

[nimble junco]

well I dont have access to this folder

[manic torrent]

You mean your user doesn't have access.

[nimble junco]

and taking ownership of it gives docker errors

[nimble junco]

yes

[manic torrent]

what are the permissions on it.

[nimble junco]

the permissions allowed to me are just read

[manic torrent]

sigh
I mean, what does ls -l say? Here's an example:

[ashen zodiac]

vban

[nimble junco]

drwxr-xr-x 11 9001 9001 4096 Jun 20 08:47 mcdocker

[ashen zodiac]

[manic torrent]

VB-Audio Network Protocol, VBAN Protocol has been designed for real-time transport of digital audio stream in IP-based network environments.

[ashen zodiac]

[manic torrent]

ok, so the user in the docker, 9001, is a userid that doesn't exist in the parent system.

now check the plugins directory, and also check what user the FTP daemon is running as

[nimble junco]

the ftp daemon is logged in through my user and the plugins directory showed this ```drwxr-xr-x 3 9001 9001 4096 Jun 20 08:46 plugins

[manic torrent]

loooool, yeah ok well wtf do you think

you're using ftpd from the host to put files in the docker dir?

a) again, don't use FTP, ever.
b) you're doing it wrong.

throw all of this away, and start again - what are you trying to ACHIEVE

sftp the file to your homedir, sudo to root and copy it in.

or put it in the docker build file/script.

[nimble junco]

so Im trying to transfer a file with filazilla to the plugins directory but I only have read access and docker setup that folder I want access so that I can put files in the plugins folder

[manic torrent]

or ssh to the docker.

[manic torrent]

no, you need to get a file from your desktop to that folder.

you are conflating problems with proposed solutions.

realistically, not even that - your issue is you want to get the plugin floodgate-spigot.jar in there

ssh to server sudo wget file

[nimble junco]

I tried that but when I did that it makde weird files and didnt work

for some reason these plugins dont work with wget

[manic torrent]

ahhh, I hate it when my files go weird

classic linux/docker problem.

[nimble junco]

the issue is perms but idk how to fix that

[manic torrent]

no

Your issue is you have no idea what you're doing, so you're basically changing random parts of it and hoping it works

how were they weird, what were the errors.

[nimble junco]

one sec

[manic torrent]

brb, building a control tower out of bamboo

[urban cove]

ok

[nimble junco]

using wget just added a file to the plugins folder called spigot thats it

[manic torrent]

if only it had any sort of output that would say what it was doing

[nimble junco]

In Linux there are so many tools that are interesting, but I do not know any for the windows command line

[wispy marsh]

Many

Registry, acl, scheduled tasks, domain tasks

I can suggest knitting needles into the eye

powershell generally just makes me want to do that, so skip to the end.

"what if we made a language that was worse than shell (bash), harder to use than windows cmd, needlessly wordy, while also not giving enough context, and would be cut and pasted in the most horrific cargo cult ways, and doubled down by creating a version nightmare, and having examples that are ALMOST what people need to do, but leaving out critical bits"
