I only have 1 HDMI out and a display port ig I'll try the display port
strong surge
yes pls
tacit dagger
make your pick
tacit dagger

proper dew
damnn
tacit dagger
a cable
not the drivers oddly
future note
DON'T click stuff you dont know about
XD
proper dew
wait so my cable fried the 2nd I hit "full HD" or whatever it's called
tacit dagger
no
tacit dagger
it could be an old hdmi cable
proper dew
it's an old bell cable
tacit dagger
so different standard
strong surge
use Displayport
tacit dagger
yes
tacit dagger
no problem
strong surge
LMAO
tacit dagger
or ask kenzie? @strong surge what do you think
strong surge
I'm....not.....sure.......I could do that
runic geyser
proper dew
Also I'm sorry to bother again and this isn't a major issue it's a persisting and annoying issue. Whenever I start up my PC it automatically goes into bios and I have to hit the PC restart button a few times and then it will boot into windows, is there a fix for that issue?
tacit dagger
@strong surge
proper dew
it just goes into bios
strong surge
What motherboard?
strong surge
Grabbed a manual, brb
proper dew
alright
proper dew
nope
strong surge
NVME or Sata drives?
proper dew
besides my keyboard and mouse nothing else is
I have a sata drive and an NVME
2 of them actually
strong surge
Which one is the boot?
runic geyser
Which one is the boot?
mayb check if win boot mamager is default
idk im gonna go watch a movie
proper dew
I have a 250GB NVME boot, 1TB NVME for games, and 2TB hard drive for videos/images
strong surge
ZI was thinking the boot order was incorrect
The manual is woefully inadequate in the BIOS department
proper dew
I've had issues from the start with my PC, like when I first booted it, it said "CPU fan error" and we couldn't get into windows because of that issue so we just had to ignore the CPU fan error in BIOS
strong surge
Do you have a fan plugged into the CPU_FAN header?
proper dew
yes
strong surge
CPU FAN is at the very top
proper dew
yeah like top right
proper dew
I have my RGB header plugged into the middle of the 3
and my CPU fan on the one to the far right
and nothing on the far left
proper dew
ok
strong surge
Those are the connections at the top
So
CPU FAN goes to your CPU fan, left most connector
proper dew
proper dew
welp
strong surge
Fan goes in the one to the far left
proper dew
my friend lied
strong surge
OPTis just that, Optional
proper dew
Ok turning it back on
proper dew
That would be in fan control, correct?
Nvm it’s in monitor
CPU fan speed is ~1425RPM
proper dew
and on the plus side I got to cable manage a bit on the top of my case thanks to you
yeah it's working perfect
proper dew
yeah my case is good, it's just there is literally no place to route the cable at the top
BRUH HOW IS YOURS SO CLEAN
MINE IS JUST A MESS HOLD ON

Came with loops to cable route and everything
I mean, you never see it anyway so
Does it really matter if it works and no one knows?
strong surge
TD500 is honestly fine
proper dew
it's just I hate how it's sort of made
proper dew
it has no rear exhaust so I just slapped on a be quiet pure wings 2 fan for like 15$
strong surge
Those are good

I have 3 of the silent wings 3 on my AIO

strong surge
Cuz the EVGA Fans SUCK
tacit dagger
oh mine are rgb fans

SO MUCH NOISE
tacit dagger
from a coolermaster case

The EVGA fans are honestly terrible

Anyone Know Good Recovery Software that can recover Partitions without having to have a extra Hard Drive that doesnt cost anything???
runic geyser
doesnt exist sorry
tepid silo
Could make a ramdisk lol
runic geyser
livid bluff
@tepid silo Your Funny
Apparently Only thing I can do is take the new MOBO out and put the old back in and clone the partitions over to a thumbdrive and use my friends PC that has the same motherboard I have now and Write the Clones back to the drives. At least thats what Im hoping will work anyway
@tepid silo Would that be a feasible way to do it cause then wen I put my new mobo back in in theory it would then read the data and the drive letters associated with that then in windows?
runic geyser
how big are the drives
livid bluff
@runic geyser Largest Drive is 3tb
But Im mainly after a 500gb Partition on a 1tb Drive
That has Client Data on it that I need to recover
Everything Else from the old drives can be reinstalled easily enough as they are a combination of Software and Games that I have the rights to and either have the disc or its saved to a digital Library. Really needed to do a system cleanup anyway
runic geyser
then get a 1tb external drive and save the partition to that
proper dew
Alright went into windows immediately
pliant grotto
is there a way to make mystic light activate on boot instead of having to manually apply it every time?
proper dew
@pliant grotto I think it's manually every time, I use mystic light and it only does it on boot, then it goes to RGB when I get to windows
there might be a way, but I haven't figured it out
let me try looking at it again
Do you hit "apply" before you exit Mystic Light?
and make sure it overwrites 3rd party RGB software
pliant grotto
okay
proper dew
What motherboard do you have?
because for my setup, I have an asus B550-F motherboard and an MSI RTX 3070, so I think my motherboard overwrites the GPU
cobalt plank
@pliant grotto why is ur pfpa screenshot of the wallpaper engine razer bedroom lol
tacit dagger
@proper dew still working for you?
proper dew
Yeah my screen is working fine, although I fixed my CPU fan with vintage yesterday, and when it booted it seemed to be perfectly fine, now it just keeps going into bios and I have to keep hitting the reset button for it to get into windows
@tacit dagger
ping me if you need me
tacit dagger
just checking up on you is all
proper dew
I can't send a video of the issue
if you want I can try to describe it as best as I can
tacit dagger
yeah that issue is weird
proper dew
you know how motherboards have those like 4 lights, right? For me, the green light is on whenever I turn on my PC and it's for booting, and it says I have VGA plugged plugged in which is a white light. When I do the reset a few times the white light goes away and it's only the green light and then I now for certain I'll get into windows.
safe bramble
hey ive been getting "your device ran into an error, restarting your pc" everytime i play fortnite, ive tried updating my pc, verifying my files
strong surge
update drivers. Specifically, motherboard and Graphics card
proper dew
I tried playing roblox as a test to see how my GPU does, my uncle who said everything was installed forgot to download drivers and uh, my CPU was at 100% and my GPU was at 70% and I was only getting 30FPS on minimum settings
surreal shuttle
then install drivers
soft herald
^
lol
Did u install gpu drivers,
Base gpu drivers usually are pretty bad, but just get u booted up fine,
Idfk why your cpu was at 100%, maybe cause it’s roblox 
digital aspen
Windows is so weird sometimes.
last gorge
I agree

ew windows 🤮
zinc trench
please help. I have a problem with my afterburner custom fan curve.
usually, it works just fine when I play games (on the rtx 2070 super), but recently I just noticed it stuck on 30% fan speed when play games (on the 3070 with latest driver).
even I change it manually it's going back to 30%. any solution?
what I've tried to do is reinstall the afterburner. clean install driver
proper dew
What’s your motherboard @zinc trench
I assume you have a 3070 since you’re using it’s drivers, if so where did you get the drivers from?
Ping me when you can answer my questions because my issue was motherboard based when I turned on my 3070 and the drivers weren’t installed
zinc trench
What’s your motherboard <@396699976849424394>
my motherboard is b450 tomahawk max.
i get the driver from nvidia website, already with latest driver
proper dew
Now you say you have an RTX 3070 currently in your system, did you have any issues with your 2070?
zinc trench
nope, with 2070 perfectly fine
proper dew
hmm
strong surge
I don't think afterburner has been updated since the 3000 series was released
It hasn't been updated in a long while TBH
strong surge
I would use software from the manufacturer
EVGA Precision X1 or whatever the other AIB's offer
zinc trench
I would use software from the manufacturer
do you use afterburner too?
proper dew
it could be where it's just on balanced
zinc trench
You have an MSI 3070, correct?
yes, 3070 gaming x trio, my old 2070Super msi ventus
proper dew
ay same GPU gang
yeah check your dragon center
it could just be on balanced or some feature
strong surge
Yeah, I would assume Afterburner isn't compatible with 3000 series OR your dragon center is over riding it
proper dew
I haven't had any issues with dragon center over riding it though even though my PC is a hell hole
zinc trench
here's mine
proper dew
turn it off
and try going into your game again
hold on let me try with you
I'll just pop into minecraft
alright
zinc trench
Yeah, I would assume Afterburner isn't compatible with 3000 series OR your drago...
i think that too, i think dragon center override afterburner
zinc trench
and try going into your game again
still not following my fan curve custom, stuck at 30%
proper dew
this is minecraft with shaders and the fans aren't on
extreme performance now
yeah they aren't ramping up for me
oh dragon center crashed
launching dragon center again
wait so it's always stuck at 30%?
or does it not go above it
I'm on extreme currently
whats your CPU?
@strong surge isn't it bad my GPU is at 100%?
proper dew
yeah
it's at like 80% in valorant, and in minecraft with shaders it's at 100%
so damn
last gorge
valorant not too demanding, can run on some potatoes
zinc trench
extreme performance now
wait, when i turn it off extreme performance it still 30% but when i turn it on back, it change to my fan curve.
side notes; when not in game, afterburner follow my fan curve.
yes, (while gaming only) stuck 30% even, i changed it manually.
my CPU ryzen7 3700x
proper dew
so we have the same GPU and CPU
alright that rules out something at least
@zinc trench my GPU fans are stuck at 43%, they just went up to 44 as I'm typing this
what game are you talking about? it could just be the game isn't highly demanding and therefore it's not ramping up your fans
zinc trench
<@!396699976849424394> my GPU fans are stuck at 43%, they just went up to 44 as ...
how to shot that stats?
zinc trench
what game are you talking about? it could just be the game isn't highly demandin...
rn i play gta v, even rdr 2 stuck 30% fan
proper dew
max graphics?
zinc trench
max graphics?
yes max graphic
zinc trench
hmm
i think there is bug between dragon center and afterburner, thats maybe dragon center override afterburner(?)
because everytime i open some games afterburner like restarting (closing and open) and then fan goes to 30%
yes fan is off
strong surge
Could be the VBIOS on the card too
proper dew
for me it said something about bios when I turned fan on
yo vintage question, my friend is arguing with me that overclocking GPUs is bad with auto software, is that true?
strong surge
no
proper dew
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/msi-rtx-3070-ventus-3x-fans-stuck-at-30-sometimes.276175/ @zinc trench read this thread
zinc trench
for me it said something about bios when I turned fan on
motherboard bios?
proper dew
it said something about that
zinc trench
Could be the VBIOS on the card too
what is VBIOS?
strong surge
The BIOS that controls the GPU on the card

IDK, seems to be an MSI issue unless others are having problems too
I'll know more on Monday when my 3070 gets here

Which company did you order from?

I can't access my drive today
strong surge
EVGA
red leaf
I'm on an admin user
strong surge
Got it from best Buy
proper dew
nice
I got my stuff from canada computers since it was close to me and they were helpful
they offered to give me a gigabyte 3070 (if I'm not mistaken) but I didn't want to go with it
proper dew
the design looks nice, but I don't like the fan layout for it
also it just seems like a bigger card then the gaming x trio for some reason
@zinc trench did you fix your issue?
zinc trench
it's off for me
better gaming mode on or off? will have some effect while gaming?
btw its automaticly gaming mode on.
proper dew
turn gaming off
zinc trench
there you go
what does thie means?
proper dew
turn it off
zinc trench
<@!396699976849424394> did you fix your issue?
i will restart my pc, then check it again
proper dew
should be fine after that
red leaf
Why can't I access my c drive tho
proper dew
it might say "ensure the best performance" and it almost might just be limiting fan speed
I'm not good in that field
proper dew
Why can't I access my c drive tho
@strong surge I summon you to answer this question
red leaf
I've tried a few things already
strong surge
What folder are you trying to access specifically?
strong surge
So you're booting from the drive, the OS is working but can't open folders?
strong surge
Can you run antivirus?
strong surge
I would
red leaf
I could download a 3rd party one then ig
I did a quick scan jsyk
It went from saying it needed 20s minimum to done
strong surge
i'm not entirely familiar with this issue so I'm reading a bit
This is odd
i've seen it where you boot from one drive and try to access another though
but never on the same drive
strong surge
Are there multiple users?
red leaf
Tried to reset my pc even and it didn't work
Nope
I just added a local earlier to try and see if it was my user
That was the prob
But I had the same thing on the local useer
proper dew
alright I have school
strong surge
So
proper dew
ping me if you need me
red leaf
I tried 2 of the restore points I have
red leaf
Ok
strong surge
Boot from that
red leaf
Uh
strong surge
and either try a repair install saving data OR a restore point
This is a guide
You might try running something like MBAM first though just in case also
Full deep scan
red leaf
When I try to run the setup for mbam it doesn't allow access
strong surge
Oh, that's not a good sign
red leaf
I have a second hdd in as well
I'm gonna try and run it on my hdd
If that's a good idea
strong surge
I don't think it will matter TBH
Try renaming it to something else
For grins and giggles
The MBAM exe
strong surge
Mmmm
red leaf
Cause I don't have any important things onit
strong surge
not if there's a rootkit
I'd try a safemode boot and see if you can install MBAM
Nuke and pave might be necessary though
red leaf
I tried safeboot
strong surge
Same issue?
strong surge
So hard to say
This is really odd
Try to boot from the installation media USB, if it will even let you make one
red leaf
Also
zinc trench
should be fine after that
ok i done restart my pc and check when i open game (benchmark from rdr 2). with gaming mode off, fan curve works just fine
proper dew
works fine now?
red leaf
I tried to open network vintage btw
And it says Network discovery and file sharing are turned off. Network computers and devices are not visible. Click to change....
strong surge
OOF
red leaf
It gives me an option to turn iton
strong surge
I smell a bug
zinc trench
works fine now?
yes works fine for now.
so, better always turn gaming mode off right?
does it give some effect when it goes on while gaming?
proper dew
well its suppose to record your screen or something and change the lighting
strong surge
This has virus written all over it
red leaf
Yeah
proper dew
never happened to me before so you shouldn't worry about it
Your PC should be good to go now
strong surge
Nuke and pave IMO with an immediate rootkit scan once you're up. Remove ALL drives that will not be your boot drive before you do it
red leaf
No idea how to nuke and pave
zinc trench
Your PC should be good to go now
ahh ok, thanks mate! and thanks to vintage racer too
strong surge
Nuke and pave = format and reinstall
This sounds borked beyond all reasonable repair
red leaf
So I'll have to take my ssd out and format with another pc then I think
Cause I can't get to the format from windows
strong surge
Do this will all drives except the boot drive plugged in and not connected to the internet
use Windows 10 Installation media to create a boot drive
On a USB stick
red leaf
Wait I have to format my hdd as well?
strong surge
no, just your boot drive
red leaf
Oh ok
strong surge
BUT
Unplug/disconnect any and all drives
that aren't the boot drive
when you do this
red leaf
And then do the formatting and stuff?
strong surge
I would NOT plug that drive into any other machine at this point
red leaf
Thought so
proper dew
ahh ok, thanks mate! and thanks to vintage racer too
np
last gorge
With a usb drive, if you don’t have one already ona different pc get the installation media onto usb
strong surge
let me grab a guide
red leaf
I got it
strong surge
Ok, sweet!
red leaf
Cause you can format when you go to install windows to my sdd
strong surge
Yes
red leaf
Ssd
strong surge
Wipe + install from the USB drive
strong surge
Soory you have to do this but it sounds bad
red leaf
The media creation tool is such an ssd savior tho ngl
red leaf
Yeah I had it on my drive but I deleted it
Kinda wish I didnt
Um
I tried running the media creation tool
And now it's frozen
strong surge
Jusst let it run for a bit
strong surge
Do that
red leaf
This virus is really stubborn lol
strong surge
It's blocking all the things
red leaf
Yeah
strong surge
Just remember
When you reinstall
no internet
i would put MBAM on a thumbdrive also and run a rootkit scan right after install
red leaf
Um
I might not do the mbam thing
But why can't i use internet while installing windows?
strong surge
Because if there's a rootkit, a format and reinstall may not nuke it
Format doesn't actually wipe data
red leaf
So when can I use internet again
strong surge
Here's an article on the subject of rootkits persisting through a reinstall
use the internet again after you run a rootkit scanner to be sure there isn't one
red leaf
Wait
I thought if I downloaded anything on the usb besides the media tool it'd get rid of it
red leaf
Gotcha
Also
I'm not having any problems with the hdd so do you think the virus is on there?
It opens and everything
strong surge
I mean, it's really hard to say
Everything needs to be scanned IMO
With MBAM or another tool
red leaf
Ight
I have the mbam on my second usb so once windows is downloaded I'll install it on my pc and see how things go
strong surge
Sounds good!

Cyberpunk or something?
strong surge
I'd recommend opening up Task manager and keeping tabs on CPU vs GPU useage

I ran UserBenchmark after updating my GPU drivers
Both CPU and GPU are very low at idle. I can see the frames drop when I drag a window around.
In the Oculus debug tool, the lag shows as "Compositor Dropped Frames"
strong surge
What was previous GPU and did you do a clean driver reinstall>?
warm osprey
I used to have a 1660S
But my 3060Ti was working fine until yesterday when this issue started happening.
strong surge
Did you uninstall it and reinstall the new card or just pop it in?
Also, there was an nVidia driver update yesterday
Might be worth a clean reinstall to see if it helps
warm osprey
Yeah, I noticed it after the update. However rolling back did not appear to solve it...
strong surge
Yeah, I'd do a clean driver reinstall
warm osprey
Bam, it works.
I'm semi disappointed.
I unplugged my second monitor and all of a sudden it stopped lagging, both in Windows and in VR
warm osprey
My 1080p@75Hz display is running off the only HDMI port
And my secondary 1080p@60Hz monitor (which is the one I unplugged to fix the issue) was running off a DP port, using a DP->HDMI adapter
Before my DP->HDMI adapter arrived, I was running it with my integrated graphics and a DVI cable (plugged into mobo video)
So.. am I not able to use this second monitor with my GPU at all? The 3060Ti only has one HDMI port...
strong surge
I mean, I've never encountered this issue before
maybe try switching the DP/HDMI to the 75hz monitor?
strong surge
Oh interesting. bad cable maybe?
warm osprey
Yup, and if I plug both in (60Hz one on DP), the stutter comed back.
I don't have perm to attach files oof.
warm osprey
yeah
strong surge
I'll ask about that, should be able to here.
warm osprey
From left to right: 75Hz monitor, 60Hz (with DP adapter from eBay), Rift S cable
strong surge
Anyway, interesting adapter. I bought an actual cable
Try a different DP port?
Ports go bad sometimes
strong surge
Could very well be yes
warm osprey
It was the cheapest on eBay (7€ or so). DP is so expensive in Baguette :/
warm osprey
Wish I could order from Newegg, however it seems it doesn't support France
22€
Let me find it on the french amazon site
strong surge
I have one and it's been working well through a lot of plugs and unplugs lol
warm osprey
Looks like this one: https://www.amazon.fr/Rankie-Câble-DisplayPort-vers-Résolution/dp/B00Z05JMKO
strong surge
Yes
warm osprey
ight, I'll order that
strong surge
10 Euros, not bad
warm osprey
Yeah, plus shipping & possibly import fees tho
warm osprey
I miss shipping in the US ;-;
strong surge
Well, we hope it's solved
I would still try a clean driver install too if you haven't already
It's free
warm osprey
I've tried DDUing and then installing GeForce Experience again if you mean that
strong surge
Geforce experience or the actual driver?
BTW, pictures work now 🙂
@warm osprey sorry stepped away for a minute

@strong surge ngl I forgot to turn my internet off
But I'm able to access everything now
strong surge
oops
red leaf
If that's a good sign
strong surge
Can be
red leaf
No problems at the moment
red leaf
Ight good
red leaf
Ok
strong surge
The reason for no internet is that if there is a payload of some kind, with internet on it could redownload the nasty in the background and you wouldn't know until it's too late
red leaf
Malwarebytes is mbam correct?
If that did happen then I guess I'd have to reformat and reinstall windows but yeah
@strong surge mbam is Malwarebytes correct?
strong surge
Yeah
red leaf
Ok good
Nothing on my ssd
Is it cool if I download gpu drivers rq @strong surge
And then do the 2nd one
Cause it kind of sucks looking at this low res
strong surge
Did you do a rootkit scan?
red leaf
Yeah
red leaf
Did the anti rootkit scan
strong surge
I would honestly shut down and plug in the other drive and scan it
red leaf
Ight
strong surge
before I went and instlaled all the drivers and stuff lol
No sense doing more work than you have to until it's clean
red leaf
True

I hope you're good!

Qwant was being slow yesterday as well
its not chrome or anything but still

Firefox is not having any issues tho
Only Chrome (latest Canary)
I've tried deleting the cache folder, with no luck.
Pages load eventually but they take forever to do so.
What's weird is that ping on cmd times out, whilst Firefox has no issues
And all of a sudden Chrome is loading stuff again (and ping fixed itself at the same time). Huh.
Hopefully this issue doesn't come back to haunt me.

gpu encode how does it affect editing , cutting video, make it slower to export final cut to video file ?
wheat citrus
opensource = not too good most of the time in my experience
yea sometimes it is like that
runic geyser
gpu encode how does it affect editing , cutting video, make it slower to export ...
makes it use cpu to encode video when you export
wheat citrus
aha
bummer
ok but TY anyway its a start
tested now LosslessCut and it did just that, but TY anyway
vast girder
there are mnay options for video editing out there and a lot of free good options. besides resolve
you just have to look for it a bit more. and if google doesnt help woth options look on youtube

i love seeing all the people confused in the comments about what OS my PC is running lol
there's quite a bit of them who think its Vista
even though i even commented saying it was themed windows 10
next I want to get Apache Guacamole running on MacOS because I think people seeing MacOS running on a chromebook would be even more confusing
@tepid silo ill try to get done with my schoolwork one night if you wanted to show me ESXi lol
it does seem very intriguing, running multiple VMs at the same time
tepid silo
Ya, that or xcp-ng would be a great start
hoary nacelle
does ESXi cost money?
hoary nacelle
to me it looked like non commercial licenses were free
runic geyser
does ESXi cost money?
yes or u can dm me
hoary nacelle
so theoretically with ESXi i can run multiple vms and ssh/remote desktop into whatever one I want?
tepid silo
Ya, I mean, you could even do all of that through vmware workstation in windows if you configure the virtual network etc
runic geyser
forks makes it work though i think
tepid silo
But ofc native off a baremetal hypervisor is the best practice
runic geyser
you should get a server and use it as a server
tepid silo
What's your budget? Would be cool to get a 2x xeon e5 box ddr3
runic geyser
if you have to use consumer hardware i would use proxmox
tepid silo
Lots of mobo/cpu/ram combos on ebay
runic geyser
because it plays nicer with consumer stuff
hoary nacelle
i would want to leave it running 24/7 and for that to work it would have to be in my moms office to be plugged in with ethernet to the router
tepid silo
Isn't proxmox basically debian but a type 2 hypervisor
runic geyser
yeah
hoary nacelle
so i dont want it to be noisy because I dont want this to inconvenince her
runic geyser
its basically slightly worse esxi
runic geyser
so i dont want it to be noisy because I dont want this to inconvenince her
hp proliant microserver
those mfs are FUN
tepid silo
ya, I'd say skip the case/server psu's and find a mobo/2xcpu/ram combo on ebay, and spend $80 on some nice noctua coolers or something
And an atx psu
runic geyser
thats another possibility
tepid silo
Depends how much you care about jank/aesthetic lol
runic geyser
but the hp microserver will be 100% working with esxi
well forks it isnt just that
like
esxi is finicky
might not like the ethernet on the board
or how it does pcie
hoary nacelle
runic geyser
vendors like dell and hp get their stuff set up with esxi
runic geyser
ooh these are expensive 😩 https://buy.hpe.com/us/en/servers/proliant-microserv...
never buy servers new
hoary nacelle
true
runic geyser
plus i dont like those ones
hoary nacelle
i wonder if i would be able to get macos running in a vm with the hypervisor lol...
tepid silo
I've seen youtube tutorials for just that, never tried it though
runic geyser
yes u can
i had a macos vm
was fun
honestly zach its up to you
esxi is enterprise software so you want enterprise hardware
hoary nacelle
getting it to work with my standard desktop hardware was hard enough lol (mostly because nvidia) so im wondering how macos would run with enterprise hardware
runic geyser
if you do a whitebox like forks says
then it might be weird
proxmox is open and does basically the same thing
tepid silo
Well, by cpu/ram/mobo combo I meant like xeon e5 v2 or something
tepid silo
I'd go with a dell board, or supermicro for budget
runic geyser
like dell will literally give board layouts to vmware to make sure everything is flawless
a dell precision tower will do esxi just fine
tepid silo
I mean, if he can find an r710 with two x56xx's that'd be a great except the noise
runic geyser
and the power draw
and the architecture lol
i mean not saying it wouldnt work
but a precision can do dual socket
@hoary nacelle any rough budget estimates?
hoary nacelle
uhhh
cheap
is under $300 possible... if not thats okay i understand entirely lol
runic geyser
it depends
yes and no
yes yuou can get hardware for under 300
but youll end up paying more than its worth on the first year of electricity
tepid silo
Anything that sucks that much power is going to be loud af
This is tempting lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-xeon-QS-Platinum-8276L-M-server-processor-28core-2-2G-CPU-LGA-3647-QPJT/363244848870
tepid silo
I saw a guy in /r/homelab who said it worked /shrug
peak notch
too much money tho
hoary nacelle
yeah... it would have to be quiet, and small which is why i was leaning more towards regular desktop hardware
in a mitx case
tepid silo
Old pic, but 75 seemed steep
hoary nacelle
i did want to go on a bit of a trip to see a friend in indiana... maybe i could double up and go to the purdue surplus store lol
tepid silo
Someone bought both of them
hoary nacelle
maybe this summer
tepid silo
I bought a 42u ibm cabinet from them for $75 lol
peak notch
nice
hoary nacelle
are these all working servers?
tepid silo
@hoary nacelle Yes
hoary nacelle
for just $25?
tepid silo
The dl 185's were tempting to me, but I didn't buy
runic geyser
forks i might ask u to take a look around there once i move lol
hoary nacelle
wait... my brothers gf goes to purdue... maybe i could get her to bring back a server for me LOL
tepid silo
Good idea
runic geyser
thats a good plan
tepid silo
@hoary nacelle This is one of my go-to channels for networking anything, but here's a good hypervisor comparison https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrLue-ENMJc
That vid is what makes me say you should try xcp-ng
tepid silo
Haha I'll rewatch as well, 2:00 rn
@runic geyser have you seen this https://devrant.com/rants/329221/now-thats-what-i-call-a-hacker-mother-of-all-automations-this-seems-a-long-post
runic geyser
hoary nacelle
literally a macro to set the font color to blue on a maximized google docs page (assuming running in Google Chrome with the bookmarks bar showing) on a 1920x1080 screen
most worth it thing ive ever coded, and it only took me like 13 lines!
keep in mind its using a bunch of packages
namely iohook and robotjs
but yeah
if you have node installed, you can try it for yourself assuming you have all the prerequisites lol
hoary nacelle
duckduckgo has a dark theme... thats reason enough to switch lol
last gorge
Yes, also I actually like their search gives good results for me
hoary nacelle
google just has some more stuff related to my search
using i9 9900k as an example here
but it goes for most everything
from chemistry to history to etc.
if i do switch to linux though, im going to take the full plunge and switch to a different browser, duckduckgo, etc.
ive been told ungoogled chromium is one of the better browsers
also look
duckduckgo showing more important results
for search term "ungoogled chromium"
i think i can tell google doesnt want me downloading it...
runic geyser
ive been told ungoogled chromium is one of the better browsers
ungoogled chromium is fantastic, iridium is also god tier
hoary nacelle
ill have to give it a try
hoary nacelle
hm
hoary nacelle
i will
i want to get a 512gb ssd for arch linux
ill try to go full on privacy mode and see how i like it
wexond looks promising, i havent downloaded it yet tho
most importantly, with i google "iridium" or duckduckgo "iridium" the element pops up
when i search wexond, the browser shows up
which is a good sign for getting the word out
yknow
runic geyser
i want to get a 512gb ssd for arch linux
arch cring
use clear linux
as long as u arent a manjaro kiddie ur fine
hoary nacelle
whats wrong with arch 😦
tepid silo
hahaha zach is a neckbeard
runic geyser
all my servers run 
acoustic rivet
Is it trolling myself if I install two different hypervisors on two different hosts
Because having esxi seems more common in the real world but xcp-ng just sounds better without paying a butt ton of money
tepid silo
Not at all, can't hurt to give it a try
runic geyser
why pay for esxi when u can dm me instead
runic geyser
@tepid silo pure performance
hoary nacelle
@runic geyser @tepid silo did one of you mention ESXi could do remote desktop even if the vm didn't have it?
runic geyser
<@!730975292755279933> <@!546791995830566912> did one of you mention ESXi could ...
yes
esxi console lets u view the vm instance
hoary nacelle
wow that was a fast response lol
hoary nacelle
i can tell lol
runic geyser
i sleep in the middle of the day
do u want an esxi license?
you can try it out lol
esxi allows you to kind of have a kvm interface into the vm
just like how uh
consumer virtualization stuff works
hoary nacelle
if it doesnt cost you any money... i wouldnt mind one lol

Good morning everyone, I have a problem if y'all kind and knowledgeable people can assist me. I recently just built a pc and my buddy installed a windows 10 Pro OS off his USB flash drive just to get the computer up and running. Now I need to activate a product key, but I already bought two different keys from third-party websites and both came out to be invalid. Do I need to buy a fresh key from the Windows store in order to solve this dilemma?
strong surge
Mmmm.....Ebay
strong surge
Oof
Seller rep good?
IDK, kinda spoop to talk much more about it here. Microsoft Key guaranteed to work
strong surge
IDk then. "Gray market" stuff is just that, gray/black
message the seller?
Did you buy a PRO key and not Home?
lavish igloo
Pro
strong surge
Yeah, either message the Ebay seller or get one directly from MS. This is why I don't recommend Ebay keys
strong surge
Yeah
