Bro gnu shred taking so long on entire /dev/nvme0n1

I wanna rma this dumb drive already 😠

And especially command gonna fail on first io error

Luckily its ssd so in theory... if i run in while true loop, it will corrupt different blocks due to wear levelling?

@vapid smelt ?

500MiB / 2TB 🔫

Is there a chance that 'twas I who fried it because i didnt properly secure thermals pad n sht when first installing it into notebook? Cause im seeing a pattern that might indicate thermal throttle

It only errors out after intensive use

[vapid smelt]

What

[edgy sun]

Should i shred that teamgroup ssd before rma?

I mean i already barely wiped partition table and made a giant xfs over it

And let it do at least 1 pass of 'discarding block XXXX'

...whatever that was

[vapid smelt]

I don't think they will take a shredded ssd for a rma

[edgy sun]

I mean gnu shred command :kekw:

[vapid smelt]

Ah

[edgy sun]

It basically writes /dev/random into file, partition or disk

[vapid smelt]

Why not

[edgy sun]

Its slow as bollochs

Just finished 1GiB

In theory 2GiB and 1/1000th of data approx corrupted idk

Ill just leave it alone for now (or until first io error)

Hey guys, how good is the Thermalright Frozen Infinity 360 all-in-one… wanna see is it is worth it… don’t wanna get in too deep into water cooling

[vapid smelt]

It cools

[echo sluice]

how can you be so sure

[latent fern]

Also, is it hard to use them and do you need to provide maintenance to them?

[echo sluice]

no

[vapid smelt]

Technically they evaporate coolant over time so every 5 or 7+ years you could top them off

But not a real issue

Since they will die by then

No that is a btx case I’m putting in a atx mobo in it I’m using the test bench to essentially adapt it. I’m just gonna have to do a lot of modifications in welding class.

[vapid smelt]

Could've you just weld the mobo stand offs into a atx pattern?

[urban thistle]

Not it has a lip and it’s a non-standard power supply

And it’s btx

So pci and mobo is mirrored of ATX

linux is too hard i give up

im going back to windows

[zealous grail]

Use windows server

[pulsar kiln]

Exactly my thoughts about Windows and iOS

[zealous grail]

Ios is prob Unix based

[pulsar kiln]

Don't really matter though.

[final vale]

Hi

[iron summit]

ios is too hard?

[iron summit]

wdym ios is too hard?

[pulsar kiln]

Even Linus has shown how difficult it is to do things on iOS at times.

[iron summit]

its not comparable to linux though

[pulsar kiln]

To you maybe

[strange elk]

Android is built on the linux kernel

if anything is too hard I think its samsungs

then again last ios version I used daily was 13.3

[pallid falcon]

Ballin

Im excited about gta6

[zealous grail]

I know that

[edgy sun]

at least iphone os i remember using one of geohotz's toys (yell0wp1ss or something) to jailbreak it on iphone 3g

lo and behold i finally got shell on my own device (wow!)

It was unixlike

Tbh i think it was deriv of some BSD just like macosea

So while not exactly gnu/linux its close enough

[pulsar kiln]

Weirdly they are extremely power user friendly

[strange elk]

oh yeah I used checkra1n. before that I was using u0 whatever that one was called again back on ios 10. That was peak iOS to me

[edgy sun]

Not sure about modern ios tho

[strange elk]

Yeah but then they hide settings for whatever reason and change the app drawer on you

[edgy sun]

Doesnt use ELF loader but prolly whatever tf macos does with its binaries. dylib n sht

[strange elk]

They frustrate me compared to using pixels/grapheneos

[strange elk]

literally .debs too.

[pulsar kiln]

Haven't had that issue. And for settings, the search functionality works good enough. I've stopped trying to manually navigate the settings on modern phones and custom Roms

[pulsar kiln]

I refuse to acknowledge GrapheneOS sorry

[strange elk]

Ok? lmao

[edgy sun]

Well no .deb is packaging. But all linux even mutants like debian and ubuntu use elf header

[pulsar kiln]

The devs are jackasses and they are hypocrites.

[edgy sun]

And android tho it misuses a reserved byte to identify version

Youre really best off lookin at .so which are inside .deb file

[pulsar kiln]

Talk big about privacy and security, but then go on promoting the use of Google services. Yeah okay... You're really concerned about user privacy.

[iron summit]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-gilmore-laughing-joke-funny-lol-gif-9000614626417253988

[edgy sun]

.deb is just like an installer package

[strange elk]

Well yea Im saying I literally used a .deb to install a tweak iirc.

[edgy sun]

Ah ok gotcha

[strange elk]

It was in high school so I have no clue why or what I was installing lol. I was new to jailbreaking at the time

[pulsar kiln]

Did you ever install hybrid builds on Blackberries?

[strange elk]

I never had one

[pulsar kiln]

Oh man, those were the modding days

That along with early Android

[strange elk]

Yeah I got started quite a bit late

Being a child and all I didnt have much access to new technology of the time lmao

[pulsar kiln]

I feel sorry for anyone that didn't get to experience Android in the eclair through lollipop days

[strange elk]

Kitkat and marshmallow are my favorite versions.. I think Kitkat moreso

[pulsar kiln]

Jellybean was a huge leap!

Taking my Nexus 4 from Ice Cream Sandwich, to an unreleased early build of Jellybean was night and day. I compare that to jumping from a HDD to an SSD. Even showing my workmates they were in awe!

Everything was jittery and choppy animation and scrolling wise before project Jelly

[strange elk]

Ive had a couple phones older than that that I rooted with chinese spyware

[pulsar kiln]

You should get the idea if you've used one from before Jellybean.

Jellybean was a massive leap unlike most since

There have been some enhancements performance wise, but that one stands out in my mind as the most substantial.

[strange elk]

I just thought the UI design was pretty peak back then

[pulsar kiln]

Was definitely power user oriented

[strange elk]

Picked up one of my old phones and yeah android was a lot clunkier before then

flashback to me hitting OK on every SSL cert popup, all 20 of them per link

[pulsar kiln]

Yeah using one from that age now is not enjoyable cert wise. I still have a Galaxy S1. Full of that

[strange elk]

hate material 3 though like

why are the icons double width now, this is stupid, not functional

[pulsar kiln]

I agree. A16 is so childish looking

[strange elk]

If nothing else theres at least the desktop mode to look forward to. If Graphene does even get that, AOSP builds arent being released like Google said they would be it seems surprise surprise

[pulsar kiln]

Yep. I'm almost at the point I'd saying screw Android. I'll carry a GPD Micro or similar if it has a Sim card slot.

Or I'll hope for a competitor

[strange elk]

Just no alternatives rn.

I don't like using that. Yes, I know thats odd for me to say since I use Opera GX. Bite me

Judging by crawling speeds and pure random bytes written

[covert cradle]

marine products specifically are like that. Usually 2-10x the price of a non-marine version.

[winged spire]

explicitly THAT epoxy

[mystic tundra]

find their sheet of specs

[winged spire]

yeah

[graceful matrix]

looks yummy

[vapid smelt]

on alibaba they use KG and liters the same 1 liter= 1 kg

[covert cradle]

Sure, but the one you showed is around 2.5x the typical price of non-marine clear laminating epoxy resin. Because marine shit be like that

[cerulean canopy]

density is 0.9 kg per liter as ibc are 1000l

[winged spire]

1.23g/ml

[cerulean canopy]

why do they say ibc contains 900kg when it could carry 1200kg

one way to confirm that’s the case, drill through the platters

CAT8.1/CAT8.2 are more than enough for 2400mbps. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twisted_pair#Building_infrastructure

[severe sierra]

How can i turn off hyper v if it doesnt show up on programs but states its on

[pallid falcon]

is it on here

[tardy terrace]

because hyperv is also an instruction set that can be turned on/off by the bios

while there also being a software called hyperv

[covert cradle]

Just be wary of counterfeit cat8. 40GbE on RJ45 (the thing cat8 allows for over cat6a/cat6) doesn't really exist, so cat8 cable are frequently fake because there's no way for consumers to test it. You're much better off with cat6 or cat6a for 300MB internet or cat5e if you actually meant 300Mb.

If they went to ltx why would they need to, they were at the expo

[twin rover]

Well then how do you get access those videos?

[harsh quartz]

Oh I think I misunderstood the question. I believe the ltx videos were ticketed the same as the expo itself

[twin rover]

Ah I see, thanks!

However I am curious, looking at screenshots from reddit it looks like the plus plan used to include LTX digital pass. (I have the regular plan) But was that discontinued? Is there no way to access those anymore? https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/1iiey8j/why_does_this_page_in_the_floatplane_app_still/
Because when I subscribed LTX pass was not listed.

Kali is just Arch Debian with a bunch of preinstalled tools. So is parrot but at least there's HackTheBox on that end

So you can like.. Actually learn how to use them

[ocean finch]

hi

[fossil frost]

It's Ubuntu, with some extensions and loads of utilities you don't need. Install Linux mint. Much more light weight, also based on Ubuntu, less clutter that you don't need

but kali is debian isnt it

[strange elk]

Fuck if I know ATP..

Yeah Debian my bad. Not arch.

[strange elk]

Linux Mint Debian Edition is Debian as well

And Ubuntu is just built on Debian.. Which Linux mint also builds on

kali is garbage for daily use

i would use something like https://cachyos.org/ instead

Sorry yeah, I thought the switch to Ubuntu was made. Still, Ubuntu is based on Debian, so anything you know from Kali is usable in any Debian based distro.

[golden raven]

hello,I am new here

want to ask some tips about kali linus

[oak pier]

is kali linus a distro of Linus Sebastian?

[harsh quartz]

Wouldn’t that just make it one of his kids?

[oak pier]

so would Linus Sebastian be the Linus kernel, with his kids being different distros?

[harsh quartz]

Possibly

[strange elk]

Why are the skids popping up lately

Thats the third person Ive seen that said they "use kali" this month and I havent seen it in years

[oak pier]

people that use weird distros of linux have to let everyone know that they use it

[strange elk]

I get wanting to use a cool distro I guess but if you dont know what 90% of the tools even are it makes no sense to use

Like "its the hacker OS" without knowing why or whats actually different other than cool dragon logo

[restive lion]

or why your networking is fucked

[strange elk]

Connected to the internet just fine when I last tried it.. 7 years ago

Amazon such a scam... Ordered a MV6 Shure Mic, same day delivery. ordered it at 2am in the morning. said to arrive between 6 and 10 pm. Nope. just got the email that there are problems with shipping. its now 9pm... lets see if its still coming today, cuz its so dammn close to being on delivery status

[winged spire]

Redoing the nose cone so I can make it out of fiberglass

[vapid smelt]

I hear fiberglass is a bitch to work with

[winged spire]

Nose cones aren’t that bad

The plan is to make the like positive of the empty space of the nose cone

Print it, then use fiberglass sleeve to wrap around the mandrel

Fiberglass sleeve gets narrower as you stretch it so it’s perfect for making tapers like that

Then an aluminum tip

https://youtu.be/jRbXzujI6ho?si=967Mye_qh4gc_fJY

Fantastic video

I’d be doing basically the exact same thing except my rocket diameter is 3”

Except I won’t fail the first time because I’m built different

Idk how much epoxy to buy

I assume 1/2gal would be more than enough

1/2 gal epoxy and an additional 1/3rd worth of hardener

Rest of my rocket is fiberglass, time to upgrade the nose cone so literally everything in the rocket is fiberglsss or Kevlar

(The hardware is metal)

[vapid smelt]

Fiber glass is thirsty for epoxy

[strange elk]

Oh man Im cranking the servers rn

its talking slowly now

[cloud night]

Guys guys, just took apart my laptop, wanna know how the hinges were fixed to the frame?

It's an HP laptop btw

[alpine gale]

They were likely screwed into metal nut inserts melted into the plastic chassis. (Unless it's a business grade laptop from very specific model series, this is usually how most manufacturers do it because you get what you pay for.)

[cloud night]

Exactly

Lots of broken plastic inside the laptop, now it's held on by ca glue

@alpine gale More expensive computers almost always get better things than this?

[alpine gale]

No, not "almost always", but in order to have better manufacturing, you usually need to pay for it. Cost aside, one should always do their research prior to spending money. Spending $6000 does not guarantee you'll get a properly designed well-built product, but it is more common when you go up in price.

[cloud night]

I see

Because right now I am not sure if I want to buy another hp in the future, but if I know that spending more on a higher end lineup and get more durability, I'll take that for sure in the future

[alpine gale]

Before purchase, check the Service Manual for the model of laptop you plan to buy. The Service Manual will usually provide signs / clues about how the device was assembled, which will help you make an informed decision.

[cloud night]

Too bad I didn't think about that when I bought this computer. I guess also teardown of the model on youtube, right?

[alpine gale]

Teardowns on YouTube or iFixit are also good, yes.

[cloud night]

Also, do you know personally of any brands that you had better or worse luck in durabily of laptops?

[alpine gale]

Don't buy based on brand. Buy based on model / series. For example, Lenovo's Thinkpad T series are built like tanks, but Lenovo also makes cheap garbage, just like everyone else.

[cloud night]

I see

[alpine gale]

That said, I tend to stick to Dell, Lenovo, and HP's business laptops these days because they're built well enough for their price, and those manufacturers are the only 3 who almost always publish the Service Manuals for their laptops. (Though ASUS has been getting better lately - I see they publish lots of Service Manuals now.) But again, even Dell, Lenovo, and HP make poorly designed business grade laptop models too. Nobody's perfect.

[cloud night]

What about business vs consumer lineup?

[cloud night]

https://tenor.com/view/taking-notes-noting-listening-writing-write-that-down-gif-1206669466397048571

[alpine gale]

No idea. I don't purchase Consumer laptops anymore, I don't recommend them to friends / family / IT clients, and I most definitely don't repair them anymore. The headaches they cause are almost never worth my time.

[cloud night]

As a future laptop of mine I was eyeing either a framework or an asus laptop, flow x13 or g14

[cloud night]

You never need a laptop when you are on the go?

[alpine gale]

That's... the primary reason I have a laptop. It gets used maybe once a week, usually at my favorite cafe.

[cloud night]

Sorry if I am bugging you with too many questions, let me know

[cloud night]

But business laptops, right?

Like you only purchase the business lineup because of the better quality and expectations that comes with a business product

[alpine gale]

Generally, yes. Either the business lineup, OR higher-end consumer models. Right now I'm rocking a Lenovo Yoga 7i (16") 82UF0015US (i7-12700H, 16GB/2TB RAM/SSD, A370M GPU) as an upgrade from the 2017 Dell XPS 15 9560 I had. Technically, the Yoga series is consumer, but their mid-to-higher tiered models are built acceptably for the price. The Dell XPS was their "consumer" lineup, but really, it was exactly the same as their Latitude business models... just with a different model number.

[cloud night]

Can I ask how the dell was and how many years you had it?

I had a very low end lenovo in the past, as my first computer, this was 9-10 years ago

[pliant karma]

and a tad fancier on the xps.....QC yea we don't go there lol I can go on about it

the haunting nightmare with their trackpads prior to switching to haptic ones.

[alpine gale]

Bought it in Summer 2017, used it for 6 years (until I bought my Lenovo in Spring 2023), sold the Dell laptop in Fall 2024 for $500 to some kid who wanted their own first computer for Minecraft and Roblox.

[cloud night]

What problms did they have with trackspads?

[harsh quartz]

I like my Lenovo legion 5pro and I usually hear good things from other people who get Lenovo legion and LOQ laptops, but they’ve had a few hiccups as well

[alpine gale]

Yas. That, and QC was definitely lacking in the Thermal Paste department for the first batch of XPS 15 9560 models. Easily fixed by re-pasting the laptop yourself, but still kind of dumb. Dell's not the only one who's experienced this though - HP, Lenovo, Acer, ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte have all been there, too.

[pliant karma]

trackpad wobble https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/gum7rk/psa_regarding_xps_15_9500s_wobbly_trackpad/

I had to get it replaced twice and it still didn't fix the problem so I just shelved my xps 15 9500 after 2 years so it lives on a desk connected to a docking station.

[cloud night]

You can't trust any laptop manufacturer these days, all of these problems, and the other day learning on the wan show about asus's g14 and all the other laptops from asus having problems with the firmware

[cloud night]

Wait what, you had your trackpad replaced twice in 2 years?

[pliant karma]

within a year.

[alpine gale]

Yee, I think a big part of this was caused when they switched to massive Trackpad sizes without redesigning how they were supported. Don't get me wrong; it's absolutely great that "premium" Windows devices started using Trackpads as good as those found on MacBooks (around 2016/2017 ish?), but some of the design implementations were... questionable, at best. Happy my XPS 15 9560 from 2017 didn't have this problem.

[harsh quartz]

Asus laptops I’ve been saying for years have had overheating and clock speed issues, glad to know I wasn’t fucking insane

[pliant karma]

the issue happened again after the warranty period ended.

[cloud night]

That's crazy

[alpine gale]

You can't trust any laptop manufacturer these days ...
Fixed that for you. Most for-profit companies on this planet have little incentive to ensure what they sell actually works as advertised after they've collected your money. Nobody's perfect (we're only human), but we wouldn't have nearly the number of problems we do if a company's profits were properly allocated to R&D and QA processes.

[pliant karma]

Other than that it still works great docked lol.

Because I don't sugarcoat things. It's literally against my nature. 🤣

[cloud night]

CW should start making laptops, and then move onto phones

[cloud night]

I like people who are direct, just sometimes it's better to be ignorant

I also don't know if it's worth it for my next laptop to go snapdragon

I don't use many applications that aren't arm native, but also don't know if the battery life improvements are worth the compatibility costs, especially with the newer snapdragons that are coming

[alpine gale]

So long as all the apps you run are supported on Snapdragon, sure. ARM based devices get hella good battery life. However, if you need to run anything that isn't natively supported, IMO it's not worth it yet. I considered buying an ARM / Snapdragon laptop when looking for replacement devices in 2023, but the compatibility issues put me off.

[cloud night]

That's what I thought, especially with university, the only things I use right now are obsidian and chrome, so that might be useful for the next 2-3 years for me

At home I use everything, but I am always plugged in

You have 0 experience with arm laptops right?

[alpine gale]

0 personal experience, but knowing how to Google / Reddit search can get you a LOT of useful information.

[cloud night]

100% agree

I have done lots of research and have seen mixed opinions on them

There is usually two kinds of people, the first one that only uses arm native says that it's amazing, everything runs smoothly, no problems, amazing battery life.
Then the second one that uses a bit of obscure x86 software has issues with programs, can't edit videos because of the translation layer, ecc...

Obviously, that's generalizing a lot, but usually they fall pretty well in these two buckets

[cloud night]

I think I remember this being flagged by Alex on an LTT video, don't remember which one, it was a long time ago

Maybe I can still find it....

[alpine gale]

Or... the way I like to describe it... there are 2 kinds of people: those who perform their tasks within a vacuum, and those who understand that vacuum's don't really exist in the real world and thus actually ask enough questions to understand every scenario, including scenarios that aren't relevant to them. 😄 Neither is right or wrong, btw.

TL;DR: whatever device you buy, ensure it let's you get the shit done that you need to do. If it does (and you don't spend more time fighting it than you deem worth it) then it's the "correct" device for you.

A bit of a Weird question but does anyone know how to brick and iPhone 15 pro max?

[vapid smelt]

Water

Tazing it

[alpine gale]

There are many ways to turn a device into a brick... why do you ask? For what purpose?

[vapid smelt]

Microwaving it

[alpine gale]

No, that won't brick it - that's how you recharge it to 100% in under 1 minute.

/s

[vapid smelt]

Opening it up and removing or damaging the storage module

[tidal mulch]

Without voiding the warranty I mean… only via software shenanigans

[alpine gale]

Oh, no, Apple has their iOS pretty locked down. You'd have to find a bootloader exploit, then attempt to flash a modified OS image onto the phone that can't be recovered from.

Once again, why do you want to brick a relatively new iPhone 15 Pro Max @tidal mulch?

[dry sluice]

You mean Jailbreak?

You dont need to, sideloading is enabled

[tidal mulch]

I thought so! I am relatively new to iPhones and recently came across a bricked iPhone 15 pro max and was wondering how would it have gotten to that state.

[cloud night]

Could it be refusing to boot because of incompatible parts?

Like as if it was repaired with non official apple parts...

[dry sluice]

Worked for a while at Apple as a Genius, thers plenty of ways to brick an iPhone. 1st reason: iCloud Lock, 2nd: replacement Part from an iCloud locked Phone, 3rd reason: someone fucked Up an repair

[cloud night]

If it was an iCloud Lock, wouldn't it show that it is lcoked on the lock screen?

[tranquil yacht]

Anyone know and alternative to this SSD tray? I broke my brand new SSD while trying to put it in.

[alpine gale]

iCloud Lock does not hard brick the device, which is what the term Brick on it's own originally meant. It's still functional - just needs the lock removed through legit methods. (If the word "soft" were put before "brick" then yes, iCloud Lock is a soft-brick.)

Was that part of your laptop?

Seems like a very custom part

[tranquil yacht]

And you are trying to find a replacement one because you broke the one that came with the laptop, correct?

[tranquil yacht]

However, the laptop is a thinkpad and those SSD trays are sold sperately.

[cloud night]

OHhhhhh

[dry sluice]

Well its bricked Till you unlock it, If you cant get the original owner to unlock it, its bricked

[tranquil yacht]

I'm looking for a replacement one that is more accessible. I broke my SSD when trying to put it in the tray.

Damn tray ripped whatever those small pieces are off the SSD.

These trays are weird though... I've never seen a laptop that uses anything like them. Looks like the trays are supposed to sit in the laptop's housing, and then you place the NVMe SSD on top of the tray during install.

[tranquil yacht]

Thanks, I was looking for this. Stupid AI taking up all the search results.

Parallels?

[tribal meteor]

Yeah, all my Windows mini PCs are still online but no longer connected with my printers. They still work as a backup, but my M4 Mac minis became the primary computer for my print workflow.

[north robin]

i’ll look into it, thanks

[strong kettle]

Old micro code does hit 6.2
So it’s effectively stock
It shipped like this
So basically not an overclock as it does it out of box

[strong kettle]

The main point is that it still runs 6.2 out of box making it the fastest consumer chip currently in terms of Ghz

Even if it self destructs you cant deny the fact that even if for only 1 second it still reaches its advertised speed of 6.2ghz

therefore making it “the fastest consumer cpu in terms of Ghz”

[oak pier]

such a useless title though

since it's not the fastest consumer CPU in terms of actual performance

[graceful matrix]

Nice hampteer pfp

https://tenor.com/view/hampter-gif-20240312

[strong kettle]

yea its marketing so intel can say they have the fastest consumer cpu

just like amd did with the FX-9590

2013 am3+ with a clock speed of 5ghz

did it clock high? yea

was it faster than what intel had at the time? no

[graceful matrix]

I'mHi everyone,
I’m Elizabeth. I’m originally from South Africa and I’ve been living in Florida for a while now.
I really enjoy cooking, hiking, learning about different cultures, and watching K-dramas in my downtime. I also run a small online store on the side — it started as a passion project and has slowly grown into something I’m proud of. Most days, it’s just me packing orders, testing new ideas, and trying to stay curious.
I tend to be a bit chatty once I get comfortable, so if you ever want to talk travel, food, or just life in general, I’m always up for a conversation.
Happy to be here and looking forward to getting to know you all.

theyre from a school or smth

honestly, that wouldnt be bad for a school or something, i could definitely go get that no problem, like a 4 hour drive :P

[bitter thunder]

Guys, what is "headers and masked link markdown"?

cause i sent a message that got blocked here that included stuff like

• this

But I had no links anywhere

[shut lichen]

headers are the big text

[bitter thunder]

I didn't have headers in there either

[shut lichen]

screenshot what you were trying to send

[bitter thunder]

The only markdown I had was the hyphen thing and the codeblock

[shut lichen]

Look carefully at the codeblocks

One of them is very much formatted like a masked link

[bitter thunder]

Ah, I see it

the exports line

I'll try that with a changed look

That worked. Ty for pointing it out

So nothing with [] next to ()

[vapid smelt]

I could string them along my work commute so I never need to use my phones data plan

[harsh quartz]

I’m just imagining a line of APs being dropped out the back of a car like depth charges

ive only really gotten ~ 3gbps max from steam

no cpu unpack bottleneck

ive been just swapping servers to see which one gets me the fastest download speed

the philippines has pretty good results

[proven mauve]

And I know my bottle neck my m.2

[strong kettle]

im assuming cuz no1 has a fast enough network to stress the servers

[strong kettle]

what ssd r u on?

[proven mauve]

That’s hilarious I’m on the Seattle severs

[proven mauve]

That one is a 1tb Samsung evo

ive been swapping through all the southeast asian servers ngl

[strong kettle]

O im on a PM9A1A

[proven mauve]

I got fiber optic like a year ago and it’s probably the best thing ever

[strong kettle]

imo >1gbps is overkill for home networking

didnt really feel a diff transitioning from 1gbps > 10gbps

[proven mauve]

If I ever get serious on making a nas I might do an overhaul on my storage in my pc. But as of rn I have all of my storage drive since my first build I’m 2015

[proven mauve]

For me the price is negligible between the 1gb and 5gb and I was paying more for my coax internet and it’s dumb with camcost

[jagged shard]

Hi, how long should i expect a new gaming laptop to last before i need to get a new one?

[strong kettle]

I dont have too much things to store 2tb local storage is enough for me

[proven mauve]

Dependes on specs of the la top

[strong kettle]

the 1gbps plan was like $50 back in 2015 for me

now the 10gbps one is $30

[jagged shard]

What specs do you get for like 1500-2000€?

[proven mauve]

I get that

[proven mauve]

That a great budget id say 5plus

[jagged shard]

Ok thanks!

[proven mauve]

You want it for gaming?

[strong kettle]

yea it gets messy

[proven mauve]

Yeah luckily I have the space for it all in my tower

But I have 4 large moving boxes of DVDs I’d like to throw on a nas one day

[jagged shard]

Yea, and a little game development

[proven mauve]

That’s out of my scope maybe invest in a tower depending on how much rendering you have to do

[jagged shard]

No, its like REALLY light game development, so like only for gaming

[vapid smelt]

But symmetrical 10gbps is only $140 a month

[proven mauve]

Oh then yeah

[jade tiger]

How much less performance for the same price do you get out of a laptop instead of a pc?

Where TF are you getting 10gig symmetrical for $30????

What?

[jade tiger]

austria is 170€ / month for 1gbit, 50mbit upload via coax. and around 80€ / month for symmetrical 1gbit where fiber is availible.
croatia has 1gbit / 500mbit for 23€/month or 2gbit symmetrical for 35€ / month

none of this is 10gig

What's the point of a self cleaning station that you'll need to clean

[tranquil yacht]

I finally got the system up. Any luck on the CPU?

[restive lion]

If it's not plumbed I'm not interested

[jade tiger]

add a integrated pressure washer and you got me

[restive lion]

Unleashing DJI roomba on my driveway

[shut lichen]

Because it can clean itself multiple times before you have to

[restive lion]

Those water tanks look suspiciously tiny ngl

[shut lichen]

And I'd assume you can clean the station while the robot is still doing it's job

[shut lichen]

Still multiple times bigger than the ones onboard

[restive lion]

No it's tiny

[jade tiger]

you can't actually

[restive lion]

The one my mum has has like 5 litre tanks for both sides

[jade tiger]

at least not fully

[jade tiger]

that's about normal

[restive lion]

Yeah, that's why I'm saying the ones in that base station look

[jade tiger]

most of these won't let you start the base station cleaning program while the claymore roomba is cleaning your home

[restive lion]

Why is there a cleaning program for the base station

[shut lichen]

Kill it with fire

[jade tiger]

flush out the dirty water from the hoses that usually collect the dirty water

[restive lion]

Call me simple but all I expect a base station to do is hold water tanks, a dustbin, and charge the thing

[jade tiger]

if you don't do that it starts to smell real nice

but it's something you do every ~3months and it takes like 5 mins
