@distant frigate do us proud

[random gyro]

What carrier

[rigid fjord]

ando gives us hope while other just disapoint

[left dove]

it says..

[cold skiff]

It’s not bad. I find it interesting. I remember as a kid always being behind. Used to love my 56k dial up… and it was free

[random gyro]

I’m tired my b

[kindred halo]

Holy pulls

Both are 2242 so they fit most standard boards

[random gyro]

Look I’m tired

[cold skiff]

And will probs be doa

[random gyro]

My max on T-Mobile is like 1000

[rigid fjord]

sn740 is a wd ssd for oem's

[vapid onyx]

Perless Assasin 120 is more than enough for a 7700x right?

[rigid fjord]

ideal for ally/steamdeck

[rigid fjord]

yes

[random junco]

not fair

whys lebanon get all the cool stuff

[kindred halo]

The Samsung one looks standard

[random gyro]

It’s only 512

[kindred halo]

Its TPU page shows TLC, which is what I care about

[random junco]

yeah for like 40% of the retail prices

[gleaming rose]

my fucking $600 av receivers analog inputs stopped working again for no apparent reason

[random gyro]

I’d rather have 2 or 4TB

[thin plover]

steamdeck only supports 2230 iirc

[random junco]

okay?

[distant frigate]

Oh god my agoraphobia is kicking in. I don’t like being in wide open spaces

Gotta get back into the city

[random gyro]

lol

[random gyro]

How ya deal with the city

Too many people

[distant frigate]

I’m the exact opposite of claustrophobic lol

[random gyro]

Sounds rare

[gleaming rose]

how TF does this even happen

[distant frigate]

When I go into an open wide space my muscles tense up, I feel disoriented and obviously my heart rate goes up

[random gyro]

Dang

[gleaming rose]

intermittently too

[distant frigate]

Only 1% of the human population has agoraphobia compared to 10% for claustrophobia

[left dove]

ugh the weekly estrogen shot is like a day-long high i love it

[kindred halo]

Should I get the Sn740 or the Samsung PM9B1 @rigid fjord

They seem identical from first view

[rose sorrel]

Anyone know much about tvs ?

[distant frigate]

Also it feels like I could fall into the sky when I’m in an open field

[random junco]

meh, tv's are close enough to displays. sure.

[kindred halo]

DRAMless, 512GB TLC, 2240, PCIe 4.0

[distant frigate]

That’s legitimately what it feels like

[rose sorrel]

Is there to stay way from odd size panels ?

I mean like 58 inc tv vs 60 ?

[empty quartz]

Chat; Please hear me out on these

[rigid fjord]

technically so does a rog ally but it's easily moddable to use a 2280

[rigid fjord]

they pretty much are, yeah, personally my go to would be the sn740

[kindred halo]

Why the Sn740?

[rigid fjord]

usually cheaper than the samsung tbh

[kindred halo]

It's more expensive lmao

16 (Samsung) vs 22 (WD)

[humble blade]

Does anyone else that is running Windows 11 25H2 experience instability issues or slowness, or am i the only one?

[random junco]

wats ur specs

[quaint pewter]

does anybody know how exactly ltt are editing videos off their NAS? as in, smb or nfs, 2.5gbe or 10gbe, etc? I can't remember if they mentioned any of this in a video

[brave brook]

pretty sure they just use SMB and 10Gbe

[quaint pewter]

cool, thanks

[brave brook]

i mean 2.5Gbe is "slow" and NFS in Windows isn't as staightforward as SMB. iSCSI is even more complicated

[hoary agate]

oh wow gj i have a dual cpu setup that beats that for 20 bucks

give me 10 minutes to run the benchmark again

its like 21k

[humble blade]

1 secund

[quaint pewter]

yeah I didn't think they were using iscsi since that's basically just a single user block device, def not good for collaboration

though it doesn't have the iops overhead of smb/nfs

[humble blade]

Yes i know.. 8 GB RAM 💀

But it was what i could afford of a laptop

[random junco]

is your laptop plugged in?

[humble blade]

No, but even when plugged in

[random junco]

plug it in and restart

[humble blade]

Alright

[random junco]

and check background processes

[humble blade]

Alright its restarted now

[random junco]

is it still slow/laggy

[humble blade]

It helped a bit

Like it can be used now

I have concidered installing Tiny 11, but it makes me a bit worried if its a dumb idea

[random junco]

well it is less bloated but although its straightforward, i wouldnt recommend it if you've never made a boot usb or reinstalled an OS before

[hoary agate]

@solid quail i get destroyed in single core but here is my multicore what do you think

[ionic peak]

multicore

[hoary agate]

multicore

[ionic peak]

[hoary agate]

[ionic peak]

[humble blade]

I have many times. Did it not to long ago

With rufus and such

[hoary agate]

multicore

[random junco]

then if you want tiny11, go ahead

[humble blade]

Is it a dumb idea?

[random junco]

windows should be running fine - its probably just background resources, tiny11 seems a bit extreme rn

[stable beacon]

i can't find the thing to reduce transparency in ios 26

the blurriness makes it look ai or something

i actually oreferred minimalistic styling of 2019 😭

[vast thorn]

why does ai hallucinate so much when talking about the 9000 series

"its not real" it says

[random junco]

its not real its just very convincing

ai manipulation

[vast thorn]

[stark kiln]

Last update of shitown

[stark kiln]

Somehow everyone is happy despite the fact there's more pollution than pre 2020 china

[grizzled frost]

i have a 52mm variable ND filter from them and i'm quite happy with it

[empty quartz]

I have a 58mm nd2-nd400 from them

[stark kiln]

Red paw

[ionic peak]

[gleaming rose]

I drew that on the photo on accident

[left dove]

crackhead

[grizzled frost]

i believe that is actually the exact filter i have

lemme check

[gleaming rose]

his actual name is spark plug

[empty quartz]

Mine is the fancy one with the knobby thing

[grizzled frost]

i have the basic one i believe

it just twists and there's little dots to tell you roughly what ND you're at

[ionic peak]

why not grey sparkling water

[left dove]

that's a horrible cat name, what

[zealous plover]

Labubu gamer

[stark kiln]

ATP call you cat Turing RTX 2080ti. That'll be better

[left dove]

vile 🤮

[chrome remnant]

Just wanted to ask opinions on my build and if i should change anything, the kingston sata drive and the nvme im pulling out of my laptop and the other 2 are from my old family pc, also i got the gpu for free and i bought the case already.

[grizzled frost]

just send the ppp link

[steel umbra]

what the hell did i draw

[rose stream]

You either have a pet and use that as an excuse to troll, or you just don't have any, but yet there's an opportunity... To troll. Lol.

[chrome remnant]

[rose stream]

Also, why does that low-key look like MS Office clipart in style almost?

[gleaming rose]

spark plug is hilarious

[left dove]

no yours is great

I was talking about laub's suggestion

[stark kiln]

Mine is called Mystery

[stark kiln]

Well it's translated as mystery

[rose stream]

[tepid halo]

guys is it ok to ask for help in this chat or should i only use the tech-support one

[ionic peak]

😭

[chrome remnant]

you can ask for help here yeah

[tepid halo]

im just having issues with my new gamepad, when im connected through bluetooth everything seems to be fine until my controller completely stops responding for like 5-10 secs and then its back to normal

[chrome remnant]

what controller do you have?

[tepid halo]

its a dualshock four but its not original

also theres no signs of the controller disconnecting, it just doesnt work for a short time

[chrome remnant]

and do you just connect it to your pc normally with no software or do you use software for ps4/ps5 controllers

[tepid halo]

ds4windows

some games dont work without it

[chrome remnant]

hmm

[tepid halo]

i tried some fixes on youtube like using the control panel and the services app but it didnt do much

[chrome remnant]

yeah thats weird, i guess you could try reinstalling ds4? sorry i cant be much help ive never heard of this problem before

it could also just be a controller hardware issue

[tepid halo]

i mean i got this controller today i prolly can just return it but then i gotta order another one and ehh

theres also a tech support number in the box it came in

[chrome remnant]

honestly i would say to return it and buy a ps5 controller, itll be more reliable and better overall

[tepid halo]

i gotta pay like 5 times more for it

[random junco]

5x more ?

is it wrapped in gold

[ionic peak]

500% more?

[tepid halo]

yea this one is 10 bucks and dualsense is 50

[chrome remnant]

10?

did you buy it used?

[tepid halo]

i said its not original

[formal sonnet]

You get what you pay for...

[tepid halo]

no

[random junco]

so a brand new rip off dualsense

[chrome remnant]

oh sorry i didnt know that

[tepid halo]

well my friend bought me one for the same price and it didnt have any problems for a while

[tepid halo]

dualshock

[chrome remnant]

since its not original, ds4 probably has trouble properly recognising it

[formal sonnet]

Contact the manufacturer for support with their product.

[tepid halo]

yea i plan on doing that

[chrome remnant]

and if that doesnt fix anything just return it

or try using it wired?

[gleaming rose]

if it's from amazon just return it

don't even bother

[chrome remnant]

it shouldnt give you any trouble that way

[tepid halo]

ill try

[random junco]

shoulda tried wired before

[tepid halo]

well it still kinda sucks if one of the two ways i can use something doesnt really work

[pale flint]

what the gambles gonna do now

[shrewd ridge]

hey guys im planning to save up for a new macbook air for school and uni. and deciding whether getting a m2 macbook air 16gb ram 256gb storage $999 Cad or the M4 macbook air 16gb 256gb storage usually around 1199 or 1249 cad. shouild i get the m2 or m4

[sleek remnant]

ubuntu is smoother than windows lmao

[pale flint]

personally i'd go with m4

[shrewd ridge]

why

[pale flint]

it just has better performance

[shrewd ridge]

would it be noticeable in school tasks tho or not rlly

[pale flint]

if your tasks arent gonna be so heavy then you can consider m2 as well

[shrewd ridge]

jus ttyrna figure out if its worth it spending extra

[pale flint]

not really

tho you can do some research about which macbook has better battery life

[random junco]

yess

[pale flint]

thats what i usually look out for

[sleek remnant]

i did dual boot, absolute loving it

[pale flint]

performace and bettery is only reason i like macbooks

[random junco]

nice what r u using each os for?

[sleek remnant]

[cosmic stratus]

They go up to 1300w in options but I wont need one

It's an old Casio (I have a newer one) so should be perfect

[steel umbra]

uhh, idk what you mean, i just bought some rechargable AA and AAA bats

all can output very high amperage without dropping voltage significantly though, it ofc damages them long term

yh

tho, i can just leave them in the device without having to worry about them leaking with 20% chance

if i’d buy cheaper alkalines prob like 50% chance

duracell ngl their batteries are leaking for me more nowadays somewhat often

i wonder if i’m just unlucky or they downgraded their quality

[ionic peak]

Ye crispy ones

[steel umbra]

the manufacturers are started to making holes into batteries for some reason (i guess so gas can leak out?)

they tend to corrode and leak way more often

[stark kiln]

Oil is OP in cities skyline

[steel umbra]

i’ve even had freshly bought AA batteries corrode and leak on me without me even opening them from the wrap after just few months on a shelve

[steel umbra]

it’s the same as oil but with less pollution, even signature buildings like dairy house make little polution

you get to grain and veggies very quickly when you start a new game

[random gyro]

cost too much for what it's worth

[swift moss]

True I guess

My calculator usually dies quicker than leaking

[ivory mountain]

jesus dude 😭

[steel umbra]

combined with industrial that turns grain and veggies into food, it’s one of the first sectors to level up and have decent amount of employees which means taxes

it also turns profit in like 99% cases if you just remove service fee for water

[ivory mountain]

hey batteries shouldnt do that btw

[swift moss]

Lol ik

[shell crow]

i wouldnt be touching that without gloves but maybe thats just me

[steel umbra]

imagination vs reality

5 hours in I already began to question my sanity (and if people actually take their trash out omfg)

[sinful lintel]

Im finally backing up my PC so I can switch to Linux Mint and Windows 11 Dual Booting.

Just went through my OBS recordings and it was taking 450gb of my 1tb SSD.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out why I had less than 100gb of space on that drive.

FOUND IT

[real quiver]

@tired bear you ever run frigate before? I just had a few questions

[craggy cove]

cause the instrumentals are sick

[broken palm]

was about to buy a second 5090 then i realized i only play minecraft and dont need it

regret level for the 5090 is about 25/10

[craggy cove]

yep happened to me too

[broken palm]

spent 6k on parts alone

[craggy cove]

i bought my second 5090 but ended up giving it away

[broken palm]

lost about $700 from how quick i upgrade

[broken palm]

Original Build:
($1,600 after tax from microcenter)
CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X3D
GPU: Asus PRIME 5070 OC
RAM: G. Skill 2x16 6000
PSU: MSI MAG 750
SSD: Inland 1TB Gen 4
Cooler: Lian Li Gallahad II Lite
Case: Lian Li 207 or something

Traded the 7600X3D for a Ryzen 7 7700X and 2x16 OLOy 6400
(+ 2 Cores, 4 Threads & 32GB RAM)

wanted HDD storage for bs, so I spent $50 on HDDs on facebook marketplace for 4x 1TB WD Black HDDs

... wanted a better cpu for minecraft.. so I spent $700 on a Ryzen 9 7950X3D
.. then swapped out all the ram for 2x16 & 2x48 6000 from Corsair
... then said i already have a lot of ram and a great cpu, why not go all out?

spent $2.3k on an ASUS TUF 5090, MSI MAG 1250 and 2TB WD Black NVMe

then said hey.. crazy specs but really ugly case and cooler

$300 on a NZXT Kraken Elite 360 (white tax ofc)
$160 on a Lian Li case

then sold the old parts (7700x, 64gb ram, 750W psu, case, cooler, gpu) for $880.

[broken palm]

Idk why I didnt just go all out the first time

so I lost a lot of money within 3 months

[inner veldt]

Would I be missing out on anything while using 5090 at 1440p for 3-4 months? I mean, upgrading my gpu became my first priority than upgrading monitor (cant afford both at same time) and I plan to buy 4K OLED, should I hurry up to do this?

[craggy cove]

700$ cpu for minecraft

[broken palm]

1080p monitor btw

[craggy cove]

the 7950x3d costs 700$???

[broken palm]

thats my next purchase.. oled display

[broken palm]

literally dropped to $600 3 days after i bought it

[grizzled frost]

Minecraft doesn't even do well with multithreading, a 7800x3d would be far better

[craggy cove]

whats wrong with 1440p 😭

[craggy cove]

next time ask a support agent to refund the difference or return it

cool trick

[broken palm]

so here we are now.. for an almost 10 year old version of minecraft

[random junco]

im waiting 8 months to buy a new gpu + cpu (used) so prices can drop! do you think you are able to do that 🤔

[craggy cove]

this machine is a beast at scrolling youtube

[broken palm]

i dont even play minecraft anymore

[craggy cove]

[craggy cove]

well the human eye wont see that if its 27 inches or so

ive been loyal to this thing.. asus tuf b650-e

192mb cache

it's basically just two 9800x3d Dies in a single chip

[craggy cove]

reasonable

[broken palm]

I get around 2.5k fps in minecraft now, would love to see 3k fps average

Now i just need a 3k hz monitor

[craggy cove]

i dont get how this fits in the am5 socket

[grizzled frost]

Why wouldn't it?

[craggy cove]

how isnt it like xeon sized

[broken palm]

i cant grasp the fact that humans made this from sand

[grizzled frost]

It's the same space as the 9950x3d v1

[craggy cove]

idk vibes

[broken palm]

like im amazed by each part of it

[grizzled frost]

You can see how little of the socket space is taken up by the dies

[broken palm]

128mb cache so poop

[craggy cove]

i read about lithography machines and i just stopped thinking for 15 secs

[sinful cobalt]

assrock finna have a field day killing more vcache cpus

[broken palm]

ok wait give me 3 sec i have to disable the igpu again

[craggy cove]

surely the cheapest b650 asrock offers wont kill a 9000 series cpu

actually it might not even

[sinful cobalt]

b650 is eol ur not finding any “new stock”

[craggy cove]

this thing is so locked down

[grizzled frost]

There's nothing inherent about low tier motherboards that kill high end chips

didnt mean it like that

hmm no b650 h motherboards to be seen

#totalbrokievictory

[broken palm]

ive used 1tb/3tb in ssds and i keep fighting the urge to not buy useless $700 ssds

tf are you storing

i used 440gb of my 500gb..

[broken palm]

i have like 50gb in ai models

[viral lantern]

guys, im stuck between getting a 5800x and 5950x. The 5800x says better single core but the 5950x is more core but my understanding more cores doesnt mean better fps, its just spreading the load, but the 5800x would still be better per core since it has more clock speed. I dont really wanna go to am5

[broken palm]

voice & text

[empty quartz]

I love facebook marketplace

[random junco]

actually nvm i use like 20mb of 500gb because today i took it out my pc and started use it as a cache drive in my server

[gleaming rose]

true, one of their best albums

[broken palm]

id take it

jk.

[viral lantern]

sometimes im rendering videos while playing games and its ok my cpu, ive got the 5700x, but it stutters a bit

[bitter crater]

for gaming, 5800x, for productivity 5950x

[snow inlet]

how to start poll?

[empty quartz]

Not actually a bad price, its cad

[random junco]

not here

Its disabled here

[gleaming rose]

you can't here

[viral lantern]

what about a mix of both at the same time?

[broken palm]

unfortunately the premiere plugin i use the most doesnt have gpu acceleration

[sinful cobalt]

5950x is mainly for multi core CPU intensive workloads

you’ll b fine with a 5800x

[broken palm]

15 min vid goes from a 30 sec render to 30 mins

[broken palm]

Yes like minecraft ykwim

[gleaming rose]

no, not like Minecraft

i love the fact it takes my game 2 seconds to open

literally 2 seconds

[sinful cobalt]

no

[gleaming rose]

yes Minecraft typically launches very fast in most circumstances

[sinful cobalt]

a fucking potato runs base minecraft fine

[gleaming rose]

it is horrifically unoptimized, Java edition, but it still launches quick

[broken palm]

Heavily multi core!!... (i hate my purchases)

[snow inlet]

9070xt ($599)VS 5080($979): 5080-3%-5% performance increase. Which one?

[gleaming rose]

it could benefit but it doesn't really need it

iirc Minecraft uses only 1 or 2 threads for the heavy lifting

[broken palm]

i think you guys can tell which thread its using

[sinful cobalt]

9070xt

[gleaming rose]

no, we can't, because we have no clue what else is running on your system

Minecraft would run fine on 4 cores

[broken palm]

Just discord and exitlag

[random junco]

why would you pay 400 more

[broken palm]

for 3-5%

[random junco]

yeah... why would you do that

[broken palm]

i make the worst purchases and i wouldnt do that

[random junco]

exactly

[gleaming rose]

just overclock the 9070xt and get even more performance

[viral lantern]

heres where im sitting at but im not playing a game yet

[random junco]

looks greater than 3-5%... still wouldnt pay 400 more tho

[gleaming rose]

15 extra fps

[broken palm]

intels just there for the fun of it

[snow inlet]

perfect thanks baddies

[random junco]

Random question but what laptops still support an internal dvd drive? Do they still exist or do I have to look for the oldest laptop at that time?

[gleaming rose]

I don't think anyone really makes em anymore

get an older Thinkpad or something

[random junco]

ive only experienced a power outage twice my entire life, both were 5+ years ago and at night for less than 1 hour.

[sudden fractal]

Sadge... Like how many years should I go back then?

[south arrow]

Hp had alot of dvd drives in their old systems. But external usb dvd drive is just $20 or so

[broken palm]

i literally jumped from the sound

i am now on my phone

[snow inlet]

Another one: 9950x3d($607) VS 9800x3d($407)- Which one?

[random junco]

9800x3d

[random junco]

yeah i dont think im ever going to experience a serious power outage

[gleaming rose]

not really sure

[random junco]

can just get an entire computer that has a dvd r/w for $30 lmao

[gleaming rose]

it sometimes just happens

[south arrow]

That to. Ide/sata to usb 5-10$ on alie express

[gleaming rose]

just get some old Thinkpad - they always hold up pretty well

[formal sonnet]

Followup question for you because I'm curious: why do you need an internal drive? Do you use optical media literally every day? Genuine question - I also use optical media, just not everyday.

[snow inlet]

there are like plugable ones on amazon

[random junco]

plugable

[sudden fractal]

Well if I want to bring it on the go but... ohhhh...

So the external dvd drives are good?

[random junco]

theyre not bad, they get the job done

[formal sonnet]

If you only need to use optical media once in a while, yeah, get a quality USB DVD (or BluRay if you need such discs) drive. I just have a 10+ year old Samsung External USB DVD read/writer for my desktop.

[quasi moat]

Console wars are over

[sudden fractal]

What about a blu ray drive? Do they exists and such?

And which do you guys recommend?

[random junco]

why not put everything in the dvd onto a usb or something

[broken palm]

ok well im back.. that was odd

[formal sonnet]

Start your research here. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-external-blu-ray-drive/

But also... you could just copy your media to the laptop's internal storage drive? This is what I do. Unless I can bump up the storage drive to 2TB for cheap, I always just replace my laptop's internal NVMe drive with a 2TB model after purchase, then use that to hold TV shows / movies / music when I take the laptop traveling.

[broken palm]

jesus i forgot dvds exist

should i buy a $15 pc from good will and benchmark.. and destroy it for the Lols

[random junco]

good use of free will

mine btc + stress test + remove all fans + 1gb of ram

[broken palm]

Would give me an excuse to purchase a capture card knowing ill never use it

[sudden fractal]

Well that is the plan. I want to get the blu ray/dvd copies and rip the content. At least I have the source of the quality files.

"we told you to supervise the car but you crashed because you didn't, not our fault" type shit

[broken palm]

soulless sure but i'm still beating my uncles lambo urus, mclaren 720, whatever lotus he bought and his m5 cs with the s plaid

[craggy cove]

fsd in 5 years

[broken palm]

Hate to confirm but it works

[craggy cove]

trust

[craggy cove]

so it is true

[broken palm]

i start working at tesla in a week eheheuhuwhurhahwe'

[hexed tapir]

but why

[empty quartz]

No

[broken palm]

the access part or the car part

[empty quartz]

You’re not beating a mclaren 720 in a fucking model y performance

[left dove]

@thorny saddle this pressurising dude says he beats an m5 in a tesla

[broken palm]

ending said "s plaid"

[craggy cove]

0-60 could

[empty quartz]

Only in 0-60mph

[craggy cove]

win is win

[broken palm]

yall do know the s plaid is the 1020hp one right

[empty quartz]

Yup

[broken palm]

Ok good to know

[empty quartz]

And it shits the bed after 60mph

[craggy cove]

4 am rip i forgot its a sunday

well now a monday

gn

[hexed tapir]

my 1994 Oldsmobile with 160hp could beat a model Y performance in a race * if the race was longer then 450miles*

[broken palm]

from my insta since i wiped the original videos. second video is a random street race

[broken palm]

I vouch

the only tesla with unironically good miles is the s plaid once again with over 400. best I got was 390 from it

[left dove]

[random junco]

no drift control in #1 🙏

tesla acceleration in performance variants is the only thing i love

yolk steering wheel... meh.

[real quiver]

Marketplace is really something

[left dove]

yolk lmao

(its yoke)

[lofty raft]

Maybe the cooler is $90 worth

[real quiver]

I'm 99% sure it's the stock cooler

They didn't include a picture

[random junco]

oops

[real quiver]

Here's another good one

[left dove]

this is some tweaker down on his luck looking for a fix lmao

[real quiver]

I genuinely don't know what is going on there

[left dove]

its some guy stoned af showing off an old playstation external drive he had and is trying to sell for more drugs

obv

[lofty raft]

The initial price was $229 so 100 is fair 😂

[real quiver]

I'm looking for a bunch of used hdds right now because I need storage for an nvr

[left dove]

used server parts websites

[real quiver]

I was hoping to find someone locally because I'm impatient

[random junco]

i bought 10 x 2tb drives on an ebay auction

they list hundreds of drives per week

[left dove]

wow, that's awful

[random junco]

only £53 !! (70 usd)

[real quiver]

I found a computer salvage guy and messaged him but he immediately read my messages and did not reply

[random junco]

damn.

[left dove]

that's.. less bad

[random junco]

thought u cut the ram sticks in half for a second

[real quiver]

I still have to buy an actual nas case

[left dove]

all the storage

[random junco]

have to?

[left dove]

you can use whatever case holds your drives tbh

doesn't have to be a server chassis

[random junco]

you can mount google drive?

[real quiver]

Yeah but I'm a data hoarder so I want to future proof

[left dove]

yeah its drive for desktop

[random junco]

server case with like 10 drive bays

i have an antec p380 for that

god its so big

[left dove]

okay, so buy proper drives 8tb or higher, have them in a zfs raidz1 (at minimum) array and have that server do a daily backup to the cloud

[lofty raft]

It holds "only" 8 drives

[real quiver]

Well this is going to be used for data I don't really care about which is why I'm trying to get cheap used drives

[left dove]

so its not data hoarding

if you're so wishy-washy with your intentions for the server's use, why not save your pennies and get actual hardware

[random junco]

close enough, was just recommending a case with lots of bays
my p380 came used with only three bays lmao

[real quiver]

Right now it's mostly because I need an nvr so I was just going to deploy my old desktop hardware with truenas

And frigate

[left dove]

so why not get a pair of 4tb drives and raid1 it, that's plenty for a basic-ass nvr

you don't need a stack of hard drives for a nvr

[lofty raft]

Buy some old cable tv receivers, they have mostly 1TB HDD innit

[left dove]

god no do not run a 1tb spanned jbod

[real quiver]

I looked

People are smoking crack while pricing dvrs on marketplace

[grizzled frost]

find a goodwill or similar in your area

[grim moon]

Go to your local goodwill

[real quiver]

My goodwill does not sell any technology besides speakers and the occasional av reciever

[left dove]

do you live in bumfuck ohio or something

[real quiver]

I used to go weekly and then gave up

[real quiver]

Bumfuck ILLINOIS

[left dove]

same thing

[real quiver]

Pretty much

[left dove]

just get proper drives pls

[grim moon]

goodwill online

[lofty raft]

Habibi come to Germany, we have many e-waste in stock

[real quiver]

Eventually I want to run an actually reliable nas but I won't do that until I can have a full off-site backup

[left dove]

you can do that now with gcloud

[real quiver]

The whole reason I want to do that is to escape monthly subscriptions

[left dove]

god you sound like every "build your first nas" video ever

here's a hint

pay annually

then you only pay 1/12th as often!

[real quiver]

I do pay google annually currently

[formal sonnet]

What is your plan for a full off site backup?

[left dove]

so pay them more, and use them as a cloud backup for a nas?

[real quiver]

Probably toss something in my parents basement where I used to live

[plain cypress]

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/corporate-responsibility/intel-in-ohio.html

[formal sonnet]

This can work... If you live on the opposite side of the continent. (A real backup should be in a different region entirely. Otherwise, it's not safe from natural disasters.)

[real quiver]

I live a few hundred miles away

[left dove]

ohio finally gets something

[left dove]

the point they're making is that it's more wise to have an actually distributed & cloud-based tertiary backup layer. That way a whole datacenter could go down and your data would still be fine

[plain cypress]

Intel Ohio was supposed to kick off this year but is now delayed to 2031 or something

[left dove]

$5 its ohios fault

[plain cypress]

#BanAMD

[left dove]

nuh uh, i just got my 9700x today

[real quiver]

I just have an unreasonable hate for subscriptions and letting a third party handle all my data

[left dove]

third parties already handle all sorts of your data

[plain cypress]

It's your fault

[left dove]

in this day and age being all kermudgent against subscription services is kinda fruitless

you already pay google to hold some of your data, wny not pay them a little more to be the backup to your backup?

3 forms
2 local
1 off-site

[stark kiln]

I gotta figure out why my jobs all require education despite me building like 800 education buildings.

[left dove]

because educating people takes time lmao

[lofty raft]

My condolences

[left dove]

fuck you mean?

[plain cypress]

Yeah this logic doesn't compute

[stark kiln]

Well it should cause their over 1 year now

[left dove]

one year

[lofty raft]

Nope, it was deep from fucking heart

[plain cypress]

They're*

[stark kiln]

Yeah 1 year is plenty for kids to know abc and calculus for adults

[left dove]

so anyways I started blastin'

and george clooney cartwheeled into the room and ate an egg

[random gyro]

Hmm
