2023-02-13 17:56:51.961 +00:00 [INF] Upload rate: 48.81 Mbps

right so how do i get it back to what that was

took you a while mate

such a badman

[subtle condor]

you wanna make salad restart the test, first close salad from the tray then open task manager and restart the salad.bowl.service process; you should get 100% cpu usage for like 5 seconds as salad restarts all its modules and then the test should restart

[shadow ivy]

genuinely mate

shut the fuck up

you're not funnyt

[subtle condor]

no :3

[shadow ivy]

how i restart

[subtle condor]

end task

sorry, I was clear enough lol

[shadow ivy]

alr

it restrarted

[subtle condor]

now wait, the speed test should start running

it's called like librespeed-cli I think

2023-02-28 23:14:29.300 +00:00 [INF] Uploading... ⣷ 3.28 Mbps

nah cuz wtf

it started off at 60

and then just dropped

[subtle condor]

yes

it's a common issue

it's really annoying

[shadow ivy]

2.43 now

how do i fix?

running libre rn

[subtle condor]

retake the test, or reinstall salad. That's what I used to do

[shadow ivy]

bruh i've reinstalled salad so many times

wtf

libre does the exact same

900 mbps download

[subtle condor]

every morning when I didn't run Salad 24/7 I reinstalled it every time because the upload speed was super low, it fixes it most times but it's stupid

[upbeat shuttle]

What server is it using?

[subtle condor]

Nottingham

[shadow ivy]

Selected server: London, England (Clouvider) [lon.speedtest.clouvider.net]

huh?

my upload spike back up to 51?

da fu

[subtle condor]

if the final speed in the log is higher than 10 then you should be okay

[upbeat shuttle]

oh also

[subtle condor]

like the bit where it says upload rate

[shadow ivy]

ffs

[glacial fox]

Gyutaro#2524 was banned | Bye bye, we've had enough of your annoying behaviour here :)

[upbeat shuttle]

oho dyno came back alive just in time

[shadow ivy]

ok i thought it was me

thank god

[subtle condor]

?ping

[glacial fox]

Pong! 424ms

[shadow ivy]

lol

[subtle condor]

damn

[upbeat shuttle]

i was about to detonate the IED located in Dyno HQ

anyways

[shadow ivy]

424ms thats like my upload speed!!

i tohught i was gonna be banned lmaoo

[subtle condor]

for what? you've done nothing wrong :P

[upbeat shuttle]

hehe

[shadow ivy]

i did something wrong

my fourm got closed

i still don't know why

i haven't been given a reason

lol

[subtle condor]

they all got cleared

[subtle condor]

oh

what

anyway, how's the upload speed in the log

[shadow ivy]

oh yea

[upbeat shuttle]

what was it about?

[shadow ivy]

it was me complaining about my issues with salad and asking for fixes

this is what was in the form

so basically i get to $7.50 balance after a lot of struggle because half of the time salad doesn't run properly, and now it's literally just not working at all. some other problems i have are:
bandwidth doesn't do anything, at all.
the autostart is buggy asf, whenever u leave ur pc on overnight it doesn't mine at all because the autostart pauses it for some reason
whenever i turn off the cpu mining, it still runs even after multiple restarts?
the 24 hours thing that predicts ur earnings barely works anymore
a lot of the time the gpu and cpu are on 1-10% utilization
im not making any money

and a zip file of my logs

delete my msg if u want

[shadow ivy]

im about to find out!

download 900mbps....

lets see if upload flops

[subtle condor]

@upbeat shuttle are they ever gonna change the way the speed testing works so it's better :P

[upbeat shuttle]

I assume you're on about when it sometimes chooses bad servers, right?

[shadow ivy]

51.60 MBPS UPLOAD

CMON LADS

[subtle condor]

yea, like how the upload drops

[shadow ivy]

sgs isn't running in task manager......

[subtle condor]

is salad chopping?

[shadow ivy]

yes.

[subtle condor]

enabled gpu for 10 seconds and then turn it off

[upbeat shuttle]

hmm I'll ask and see if they know of this issue already

[shadow ivy]

right let me do that

yo wtf my vision just turned into a parrelelogram

ok yup done

should i just run sgs-client in the salad folder

[subtle condor]

I should apply for Júnior moderator ngl

[subtle condor]

no

if you start it manually, it won't get any jobs

you'll make nothing

[shadow ivy]

why isn't it starting 😭

[subtle condor]

this is a dumb question but do you have bandwidth sharing enabled?

[shadow ivy]

yes

[subtle condor]

are you using beta 3?

[shadow ivy]

yes

man

[subtle condor]

do you have the bandwidth sharing setting set to max bandwidth

[shadow ivy]

wtf

[subtle condor]

or whatever it's called

[shadow ivy]

how do i set it to max

[subtle condor]

I don't know what it's called

go to settings in salad

and you'll see it

[shadow ivy]

elevated perms?

[subtle condor]

no

at the top

[shadow ivy]

yea i have containers on

[subtle condor]

you might not have it

no not that

okay nvm

[shadow ivy]

oh i don't have it then

[subtle condor]

who's your ISP?

[shadow ivy]

virgin media

[subtle condor]

o

[shadow ivy]

no

i swear

if ur telling me

they blocked salad bandwidth

[subtle condor]

no they didn't lmao

I'm also using VM

[shadow ivy]

ok good i was bout to eat 41 tablespoons of salt

[shadow ivy]

that allowed?

wait what u can use 2 per ip

[subtle condor]

no I mean I'm using virgin media

not a vm

[shadow ivy]

oh

bro the latest sgs client log was 3 hrs ago

2023-02-28 20:34:57.409 +00:00 [INF] Running with args: -machine_id d1f67d66-a87b-4eae-80bd-18b117e8daf7 -server_host_port sgs-rose-gateway.salad.com:443

eh????

[upbeat shuttle]

nice dog

[shadow ivy]

no wtf

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd give that dog a solid 8.3/10

[shadow ivy]

whos riverside rocks

[upbeat shuttle]

going balding but it still rocks

[shadow ivy]

no

wtf

genuinely

i have no idea what that ip is

or why it's in the us

[subtle condor]

delete because your IP

[shadow ivy]

it's not my ip

lmao

[subtle condor]

wha

[shadow ivy]

yeah

in libre test

it's not my ip

yo wtf

im back to 6 mbps upload??

wtf

[upbeat shuttle]

anyways they've confirmed that this is a known issue, and there'll hopefully be some news about it 'next week or so'

also @shadow ivy I've reopened your post

[shadow ivy]

alr thx

[subtle condor]

yaaay

[shadow ivy]

i keep getting nottingham server

lmao

[upbeat shuttle]

just looks like another mod didn't know that closing a post was more like archiving a post

[shadow ivy]

upload starts at 60

20

10

and a flop....

literally like a game lol

[upbeat shuttle]

ah is that one consistently having this issue for you?

[subtle condor]

that's where I live!!!!

server sucks

[shadow ivy]

yup!

[pulsar arrow]

Nottingham bad

the server

[shadow ivy]

i live closer to london

[subtle condor]

• the place

[shadow ivy]

then anything

and im getting nottingham

i live in hertfordshire right

[pulsar arrow]

just keep restarting your computer

[shadow ivy]

na

[pulsar arrow]

it'll select London eventually

[shadow ivy]

im just doing lucky dip

i got london! yay!

[pulsar arrow]

gg

[shadow ivy]

well on the speed test

lmao

i need to get lucky on actual salad

[upbeat shuttle]

Alrighty I'll let 'em know that the nottingham server is acting sus

[subtle condor]

Yea, it always selects the Nottingham server for me (I live in Nottingham) but the speeds are always bullshit

[pulsar arrow]

it's been that since last year

[shadow ivy]

we should be able to pick our servers

ngl

that'd be cool

[subtle condor]

It's just a speed test server though, nothing more

[pulsar arrow]

salad wants to make it as easy as they can for everyone so

[shadow ivy]

does the server randomly change like while ur bandwidth sharing>?

[subtle condor]

No

[pulsar arrow]

no it's just a speedtest

[shadow ivy]

no

ndm

right now my bal is 0.00

and my earnings 24 hr is 0.00

[pulsar arrow]

ndm runs once when ur pc is restarted

then it doesn't run anymore as far as I'm aware

[shadow ivy]

or once u

restart

[pulsar arrow]

until the next restart

[shadow ivy]

salad.bowl.service

[pulsar arrow]

ye

my upload and ownload are maxed on ndm so it's awesome

[shadow ivy]

still no sgs

ig ill restart

[pulsar arrow]

wait lol

it'll only start when you find a job

[shadow ivy]

but when i was doing it before

[pulsar arrow]

or it deems your bandwith needed

[shadow ivy]

and it worked

as soon as i

launched it, it worked

[pulsar arrow]

sure, but it'll affect reliability

[subtle condor]

That's not true btw

[pulsar arrow]

for me it is

[shadow ivy]

2023-02-28 23:37:26.078 +00:00 [INF] Upload rate: 51.83 Mbps

and no sgs

[subtle condor]

weird

[shadow ivy]

ffs

why it gotta be so complicated

for nothing

[pulsar arrow]

it won't start for a long time then once it does, it immediately starts using bandwith

[pulsar arrow]

it's not 💀

[shadow ivy]

well clearly it is

if im having this many probkems

imma just do a fresh wipe of salad

reinstall everytrhing

[pulsar arrow]

sure go ahead ig

itwill take a few hours

or you might get lucky

[shadow ivy]

1 min*

im magic

dw

[pulsar arrow]

you do you :)

[shadow ivy]

hopefully after the fresh install

it'll be running as if it had never randomly broke 😄

[civic fern]

:c

If it works, imma be happy for you

I've seen so many people, including myself, having problems with that

[upbeat shuttle]

@shadow ivy have you also tried running just Bandwidth Sharing, without containers enabled too?

just crossing off other potential causes for it not working

though I suppose this is more of an issue with ndm..

oof

[shadow ivy]

one hundo percent a ndm issue

2023-03-01 00:01:38.556 +00:00 [INF] Upload rate: 52.28 Mbps

right so i just got this

bandwidth is gonna be the only thing on.

we gon leave this on for 2 hours and see what happens

only bandwidth, normal version

[shadow ivy]

yeah nvm, scrap that

SGS IS RUNNING LETS GOOOO

now i just gotta make it run 24/7 which i have no idea on how to do

since it has a habit of randomly stopping

[silver cedar]

what if you just turn off the monitor but dont actually turn off the display

[shadow ivy]

no, that doesn't do anything

i've tried it

it still turns off randomly

[silver cedar]

ass

idk then

[shadow ivy]

if i leave it on overnight, i wake up and check it and it's paused

with like barely any earnings

so it must've stopped like first 15 mins

[silver cedar]

do you experience the salad is having trouble connecting thing

[shadow ivy]

nope

[bleak shale]

how do u make 5$ per day

[cobalt crystal]

magic

[pseudo fog]

Thats low

I expected 9$ for someone like 'em

[hoary gazelle]

So, I'm getting 0 earnings from bandwidth sharing. What should I do?

[narrow tiger]

wait patiently

[bleak shale]

9? I get 2

:(

[naive lava]

Le bandwidth

[naive lava]

hab patience

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, turns out I'm just making $0.17 every 24 hours, so basically a worthless amount of money. I remember when I used to make $3 a day from Salad ://

I wish I could use my Linux homelab for this, I have gigabit up/down connected directly to the modem with that, while my desktop only gets 100up 50down. I could earn so much with that thing...

[naive lava]

sed

[hoary gazelle]

I actually just got a Windows 10 VM running

i presume this is plenty of bandwidth

salad really doesn't like the weird VM hardware, but it will still let me use bandwidth sharing, so I should be good

windows is not having fun right now

[safe loom]

it shouldn't

but

if you manage it

good on you

[naive lava]

my gosh bro vms or vpn won't work

whatever the fk u do, it won't allow u to use bandwidth using VMs or VPN

[hoary gazelle]

i'm running it in virtualbox, it said it was having trouble determining my hardware and could not find the GPU, which i expected

[hoary gazelle]

why?

[naive lava]

ask ozua for more info

[hoary gazelle]

I don't want to put in that much work, but I doubt it will break if I run it in a level 1 hypervisor

if i am forced to, i will go that far to run salad on linux

[naive lava]

with what? Outdated 0.5 version?

[hoary gazelle]

no, a level 1 hypervisor is a vm of sorts that runs directly on the hardware, so it's indistinguishable from a host OS. There is no reason that should break, as it's impossible for the software to even know it's running in a VM.

[naive lava]

now im not into VM technical stuff, but u can ask ozua if that would work

[upbeat shuttle]

if you're running a vm, there's no guarantee that it'll work

[naive lava]

^

no one believes me smh

[hoary gazelle]

nah, i believe you, i just don't believe that a type 1 hypervisor wouldn't work

[naive lava]

[hoary gazelle]

i'm still gonna try with virtualbox, becuase it's a lot less work, but i'll use QEMU if I have to.

[naive lava]

how about u just wait for salad to extend bandwidth support to ur country?

[hoary gazelle]

it's in my country, i live in the U.S.

[naive lava]

then why the hell all this vm shit for?

[hoary gazelle]

I am using a VM because they dropped support for Salad on Linux, so I am running Windows under a VM to run Salad

[naive lava]

man the problem is, u don't have a supported os for salad itself

[hoary gazelle]

Yeah, I am aware, that's why I'm doing this

[naive lava]

and that's why u are earning nothing

[hoary gazelle]

Oh, the computer I am earning nothing on is a Windows computer with really slow internet

This Linux computer has gigabit, which is why I'm trying to connect it

[naive lava]

hm we can do nothing about that unfortunately

either windows, or nothing

[upbeat shuttle]

do you mean its ethernet port is only 100/100? or something else

[hoary gazelle]

Nah, I just can't run ethernet to it and WiFi is bad, so I only get ~50/20.

[upbeat shuttle]

oof

[hoary gazelle]

yeah

Well, I've begun bandwidth sharing on the Windows VM, we'll see how that goes. If it doesn't work, I might just take an old Windows computer I have on hand and connect it to ethernet next to the modem.

[naive lava]

gl with that

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd personally not bother with the VM and just try out that other idea

[naive lava]

yeh

but let him get satisfied with the VM first

[upbeat shuttle]

tbh the dedicated machine would almost certainly have better uptime than the VM too

[naive lava]

fr

[sinful lark]

bruh how tf

[naive lava]

wait a second does sgs client take up system space?

[upbeat shuttle]

every app does..

though it's only like a few mb iirc

[naive lava]

a few mb? Then why do people have it to be downloaded in almost TBs?

[upbeat shuttle]

that's how much bandwidth it's used..

[naive lava]

oooo

[upbeat shuttle]

not how much disk space it's used

[naive lava]

ahh i c

lol

i got slightly confused xd

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, the vm doesn't seem to work

i'm not sure i actually have another windows 10 computer though, I have like, 5 spare computers but they're all Linux machines.

[naive lava]

duh install windows in one them

:smh:

[hoary gazelle]

None of them support Windows 10 ://

[naive lava]

oooof

[hoary gazelle]

I might use QEMU/KVM to run a level 1 hypervisor, which should work. It is literally running directly on the hardware like a standard OS, there should be nothing stopping it from working (theoretically).

[naive lava]

try your second method hm?

[hoary gazelle]

that's what i mean, i don't actually have a spare windows computer

i thought i did, but they all run Debian 11 lmao

[naive lava]

that's terrible

how about forget salad?

[hoary gazelle]

nah, i'm stubborn, i will get salad to work under linux no matter how much work it takes

[naive lava]

u can, using version 0.5 💀

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, but no bandwidth sharing and terrible earning rates

[naive lava]

i was joking nvm

i don't see a way to run salad on linux efficently, since it ain't even supported in the first place

and the idea of VMs is just hopeless

[hoary gazelle]

eh QEMU will give me direct hardware access, so that will give me access to my server's GTX 1080, which will be helpful too

and even if Salad doesn't work, I can still set up an always-online steam streaming server like I've been meaning to do anyway

i'm weird and find complicated linux stuff like this fun, so yeah

[naive lava]

sighs it's upto u

go ahead

[naive lava]

what was it, im curious

[civic fern]

Librespeed-cli being a bitch

For a lot of people

[naive lava]

agreed

hope they switch to a better one

[civic fern]

Hope they FIX it

[naive lava]

they must, and they shall

[pulsar arrow]

get a cheap WiFi 6/6E card and install it into a spare pcie slot

or there's one of those usb WiFi dongles

[hoary gazelle]

I am already using WiFi 6E, I am just across my house from the modem

[safe loom]

might install 1.0.8 to get bamdwidth running

[pulsar arrow]

access point then?

in the room your pc is in

[hoary gazelle]

I mean, that wouldn't fix much, I would still have to run ethernet cables.

I can't easily route ethernet through my walls because of the length of the cable run and the insulation

[pulsar arrow]

oh

[hoary gazelle]

mostly the insulation

[pulsar arrow]

I thought every American house had an ethernet porr in every room

[hoary gazelle]

No, unfortunately, and this is a pretty new house too.

[pulsar arrow]

ah yikes

[hoary gazelle]

Yeah, I'm basically forced to use WiFi 6. All my other, more portable computers run Linux, so I can't just use a different computer either.

[pulsar arrow]

well, salad doesn't have much demand in the us for bandwith atm, so you won't be making as much as the other regions

if any

[hoary gazelle]

ah, i see

[pulsar arrow]

I've yet to tinker with Linux in my life lol

[hoary gazelle]

It's nice in terms of pure performance, but it is really annoying to use sometimes lol

[pulsar arrow]

mhm

I'm like 3 floors away from my router

so I get 100mbit down, but then that's the speed my plan maxes out at

latency is mostly fine, sometimes rising to 100s in a short spike

similar issue to urs

I don't have a port in every room

[subtle condor]

Just get an access point :p

[civic fern]

I tried but, my brain fried before accomplishing anything meaningful

[safe loom]

i don't have a port in my room either

i ran an ethernet cord through the house

because wifi is shit

[civic fern]

I have to run wifi sadly

[safe loom]

skill issue

[civic fern]

Your m-

Anyway

Can't really complain

Wifi has rarely given me any problem

[pulsar arrow]

same

[civic fern]

[upbeat shuttle]

good job

ofc they're gonna be monitoring to make sure that some student isn't hogging all of their bandwidth

[civic fern]

At uni i can do that tho

No one cares, since student wifi is shit

And somehow, it works for bandwidth benchmark

[upbeat shuttle]

the other students will care if you're making the wifi even worse 💀

[civic fern]

After that tho, still 0 bidirectional throughput

So it's not like i'm doing anything anyway ._.

Damn you, Italy!

[frigid reef]

Well duh it’s against the law

and salads tos

[civic fern]

[gleaming wraith]

although formal enquiries weren’t made bc it was minor

relative to actual crimes

anyways point is

if u wanna do smth like that do it at ur own risk

[shadow ivy]

yooo ran salad for 10 hours straight, was rec the whole time and guess how much i made

[frigid reef]

30 cents

[shadow ivy]

$0.01.36

[frigid reef]

Nice 1 cent

[shadow ivy]

yeahh

because autostart

and bandwidth

are both broken

[frigid reef]

How is bandwidth broken?

[shadow ivy]

sgs-client isn't running despite me getting 50mbps upload and 900mbps download

in ndm

and libre

[frigid reef]

ok, are you in usa?

[shadow ivy]

no uk

[frigid reef]

hmm, have you checked out the troubleshooting guide in pins?

[shadow ivy]

where is "maximize earnings"

??

im on beta 3

[upbeat shuttle]

it's shown during the setup (onboarding) process

[frigid reef]

Pretty sure it dosent work anyway

[upbeat shuttle]

all it really does is hides or shows the option to enable bandwidth sharing

[frigid reef]

||even though it didn’t do any of that when I switched to the other option||

[shadow ivy]

ok so what are the good gpu compatiability

or whatever

[upbeat shuttle]

huh

[shadow ivy]

it says i need a compatible gpu

is mine good?

[upbeat shuttle]

it doesn't say that you need a compatible gpu

it just says that it might help

tbh I might remove that bit as plenty of people have gotten it working with just igpus

[civic fern]

The what

[shadow ivy]

well then everything on there

im already doing lol

[subtle condor]

I got it working once on a i5 6400 server desktop without dedicated GPU :p

But it took a little while to start, where as on my main PC which has 2 GPUs it starts instantly

[gleaming wraith]

server desktop?

[pulsar arrow]

yes

a server machine

literally a computer but powerful

really powerful compared to an average pc

[civic fern]

My pc isn't powerful then? :cri:

[pulsar arrow]

in raw computational power, I don't 5hink saw

so*

graphics maybe

[civic fern]

It always depends on what gpu the server has

If it used a 4090, then yes, it is more powerful

[pulsar arrow]

he didn't have a gpu

[civic fern]

Oh

F

[pulsar arrow]

earnings have jumped

a teeny tiny bit

[subtle condor]

It has a server motherboard

[subtle condor]

On my old server, yea main PC no

[shadow ivy]

insane salad hacking

10 hour timelapse!

[cobalt crystal]

lol

[shadow ivy]

literally no money over 10 hours

[peak terrace]

i'm back beaches

[zealous hull]

hello, does badwith sharing use our internet? and if yes, does it count to the electricity bill?

[upbeat shuttle]

Bandwidth Sharing shares your internet bandwidth

it uses a negligible amount of electricity; barely any

[zealous hull]

Oh, so not much effect right

[peak terrace]

it uses as much power as your computer uses idle so it's no different to leaving your computer on overnight

there is no noticeable computational load on the computer when bandwidth sharing is running, it relies only on your internet

[shadow ivy]

when bandwidth doesn't work for the 58th time

[subtle condor]

Oh no.....

[shadow ivy]

right so

bandwidth running for 10 mins

and all i have in the logs is this

Oh no.....

[frigid reef]

Yep it’s working, you just have to wait for jobs aka your bandwidth to be used then you will be paid

[subtle condor]

Nova, has your bandwidth sharing died or just me?

[shadow ivy]

look at this

why did it randomly stop earning?

[frigid reef]

I haven’t been sharing recently

[subtle condor]

o

[shadow ivy]

why did it randomly stop

tho

oh yea

and on the rightr

is the bandwidth sharing

glasswire

[chilly peak]

so do you only have bw sharing on

[shadow ivy]

i had cpu gpu and bandwidth on

rn i have gpu and bw

well i dont have salad running at allfor some reason

bw and gpu on

and im not making anything

[mighty fractal]

i like this 8k video

[shadow ivy]

same

[kindred helm]

yeah, 8kb 💀

[shadow ivy]

it's 9MB

cuz its heavily compressed

[gleaming shell]

16k 16384fps leaks

[shadow ivy]

slightly less compressed version

it'd be like 24gb

if it wasnt compressed

[shadow ivy]

10 hr timelapse!!

and notice how sgs doesn't get any workloads

xD

[mighty fractal]

just bad luck

[shadow ivy]

ok

but why did it freeze

the earnings

on 7.63.26

look at the vid

that's the whole reason i made it

[chilly peak]

cpu containers only right
looks like it just crashed and never started back up for some reason

[chilly peak]

where are you from

you wont always get jobs

[shadow ivy]

uk

[shadow ivy]

cpu gpu and bandwidth

and containers

[chilly peak]

also gpu? weird salad hasnt started a miner
usually it would

since cpu and gpu containers cant be ran at the same time

but i mean it wouldnt be worth keeping your gpu on tbh, electricity costs and you wont earn that much from gpu

you could try disabling it to see if theres any improvement

[shadow ivy]

if i have bandwidth

and only bandwidth on

it makes nothingh

[pulsar arrow]

still fine here

[jovial fiber]

same there

just waiting ,-,

[shadow ivy]

fix bandwidth please!

[upbeat shuttle]

vague request but ok

[jovial fiber]

x)

uh

i hope begging is not against the rules

👀

[upbeat shuttle]

it is

[jovial fiber]

oof

;-;

i was editing

moderator is too fast

[frigid reef]

Bro, you just need to wait longer

[shadow ivy]

i ran it for 10 hours

it didn't get anything on bandwidth

[jovial fiber]

we know

[shadow ivy]

before, i ran it for about an hour

[jovial fiber]

but we express our frustration

[frigid reef]

Yes, that’s normal, you just need to wait longer

[shadow ivy]

and i would've made 10 pennies

doesn't help how it randomly stops mining too

like the container

randomly stopped

[frigid reef]

Ok. Before isn’t now though, job availability can change

[shadow ivy]

alr cool

[kindred helm]

zamn

oh

discord did the thing where it didnt scroll down

[cobalt crystal]

it always does that

its so annoying

[upbeat shuttle]

I swear that's never happened to me lol

[pseudo fog]

if bw sharing ever comes to brazil

ill be so happy and rich

ALSO I ACCIDENTALLY SPREAD SALAD ACROSS THE WHOLE SCHOOL HELP

[white knot]

the only thing u should worry is dat the demands

[pseudo fog]

i would be the first to steal jobs

but then again

it could just never come to brazil

[white knot]

dats anti meme

[pseudo fog]

?

[white knot]

💀

[pseudo fog]

i love ur funny grammar but i dont get what u just said

[white knot]

u r ||not|| goin 2 brazil

dats the whole meme

[pseudo fog]

oh

[white knot]

sigh

[olive escarp]

this might sound weird, but on windows can i make sgs-client.exe have the lowest network priority? ie, if an app (say chrome) is on youtube, that needs a lot of network, and because sgs-client is using so much network, it slows it down a lot. could i mnake it so that when im using the network at a relatively high intensity, chrome is prioritised so i get the same speed, but when not, sgs-client.exe is? prioritise as in gets more resourecs, sgs-client should still be running

[upbeat shuttle]

There isn't an option for that in Salad atm, but Windows / your router should handle spreading out the bandwidth fairly pretty well anyways.

[olive escarp]

yeah, it does it pretty well, but i do see noticable slow downs when running sgs-client.exe. i dont wanna turn it off, because then my earnings when i turn it back on are shit

[safe loom]

well that’s to be expected, currently bandeidth sharing uses unused bandwidth, i too notice is slow down downloads but depending on what you’re downloading and how long it will take i usually pause salad

but they do plan to change how functional you want bandwidth sharing to be

[olive escarp]

all i want is just that when im using bandwidth for it to "throttle" sgs-client

if that make ssense

for example, it slows down discord calls a lot

[cobalt crystal]

just basically set a cap on the bandwidth speed

[olive escarp]

how?

[cobalt crystal]

there might be some sort of program that could do it

maybe in router settings

I have no idea

[olive escarp]

hmm ok thanks

lol

[frigid reef]

its best not to use any artificial limiters, just wait, soon there is gonna be a update

[olive escarp]

to bandwidth sharing doing what i suggest? or

[frigid reef]

i cant confirm what exactly is in the update as idk, but im pretty sure better control over what we share is apart of it

[olive escarp]

thats super cool

any ideas when

[frigid reef]

Soon

[shadow ivy]

HOLY SHIT I FIXED MY BANDWIDTH PROBLEM

[frigid reef]

How you fix it?

[shadow ivy]

virtual machines have adapters for internet, right?

i had to uninstall them

[frigid reef]

that doesn’t effect it but okay

[shadow ivy]

well it clearly did

im finally getting workloads for bandwidth

lets goo

[shadow ivy]

it was probably sending traffic to the virtual machine adapters

which had no output

so it literally was just a brick wall

[frigid reef]

Or you just had to wait for a job and now you are getting a job you think it’s that

[shadow ivy]

nova mate

[frigid reef]

just saying first time I heard this issue

[shadow ivy]

are you seriously saying im lying?

[shadow ivy]

yeah

recommend it to others tho, ok?

[frigid reef]

not saying you lying just saying I highly doubt that was the actual issue

[shadow ivy]

it was.

because

now

i have 500mb usage on sgs-client

before i was making 1kb

and now i have 3 workloads

[frigid reef]

Look I can’t be bothered to argue, it most likely was ent and you just needed to wait for jobs

[shadow ivy]

recommend it to the others.

[frigid reef]

As that’s not how sgs-client works

[shadow ivy]

just recommend it to the others if they were struggling lik me

because sgs-client probably picks out one of the adapters

[frigid reef]

I’m good as it could effect containers

[shadow ivy]

oh my god.

[chilly peak]

i really do not see how it could be causing the issue

[shadow ivy]

right so

you know how vms open up ethernet adapters in ur task manager?

[chilly peak]

im sure many people here have vms and dont have issues

[shadow ivy]

because they need internet

if sgs-client picks out the ethernet that the vm made

then how are the "workloads" gonna get the "internet"

[chilly peak]

i get where you're coming from, but really that shouldnt be the issue and it's likely a coincidence it started working

[frigid reef]

WE KNOW, like I said now, I highly doubt that

[shadow ivy]

ok well just recommend it if worse case scenario

[frigid reef]

god dam just listen to us

[shadow ivy]

listen to me mf? you're saying u wont recommend it because im wrong

[frigid reef]

I give up

Bye

[shadow ivy]

im stopping now, i cba eitrher

i have din dins now

[chilly peak]

i could also just ask the engineers about that if you really want to be sure

[shadow ivy]

just

don't worry

it's a coincidence

your right

finally on $7.70

[still tendon]

im running bandwidth sharing

i can see it's doing something in task manager

i am getting paid nothing

ok it finally started giving me something

but even without bandwidth sharing im not getting the money

im running it

[shadow ivy]

.

[still tendon]

my containers dont container

[frigid reef]

if you open your bandwidth logs do you see any errors

[still tendon]

i got the bandwidth sharing working

but when i run cpu containers

[shadow ivy]

cpu and bandwidth don't work very well together

try running cpu and bandwidth seperately

[still tendon]

its cpu containers on its own

[frigid reef]

Cpu containers work fine

[still tendon]

they just dont pay me

sometimes

[shadow ivy]

i have 9 requests nowe

lol

[frigid reef]

head to #container-beta you can get some better help there if it’s just containers by themself

[safe loom]

are you sure thats not the tests?

[shadow ivy]

nope...

that'd be libre

no?

[safe loom]

usually

[shadow ivy]

the day i install the vms, bandwidth stops working, i uninstall them it bandwidth starts working

also im making money

only running bandwidth sharing

[shadow ivy]

also i can see the uhm what do u call them

workloads

?

[safe loom]

what workloads??

[shadow ivy]

bandwidth

workloads

i can see dem on glasswiore

[safe loom]

well not necessarily, you just see the ips the tunnel pings

[shadow ivy]

im making mone

lots

[frigid reef]

Ok

[civic fern]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1078986530145697813/1080391631796195348/Screenshot_20230301-082949.png

Idk if i had already shared this, just in case

[safe loom]

what that for?

i got ghosted in my ticket bro

they ghosted me for 28days

4 weeks

about a month

[jovial fiber]

IS IT REAL

[shadow ivy]

is wat real

[jovial fiber]

i'm gonna try uninstalling ethernet adapters to see

[shadow ivy]

i mean

idk if it works

[jovial fiber]

anyway, we don't know until we try

[shadow ivy]

i might just reset my pc all togehter

[civic fern]

Librespeed cli being broken

[jovial fiber]

lol

is there something not broken x)

[safe loom]

they ghosted me on that

[peak terrace]

what da dog doin

[pulsar arrow]

sharing bandwith

[shadow ivy]

bowl service isn't meant to share bandwidth i don't think

[peak terrace]

^

that's what sgs-client.exe does

[unique cedar]

lol

i keep running tests

fun

[peak terrace]

[shadow ivy]

why not just

bandwidth

!

[unique cedar]

true

[subtle condor]

me asf

[shadow ivy]

my bandwidth didnt work for a long time until i found out a solution

[subtle condor]

30 TB

!!!

[subtle condor]

you fixed it?

[shadow ivy]

the solution was

yeah

my vms

[subtle condor]

ayyy nice

[shadow ivy]

the ethernet adapters

were buggy af

[unique cedar]

hm

[shadow ivy]

so it kept sending bvandwidth to ethernet adapters

[subtle condor]

that won't cause Salad not to work....

[shadow ivy]

but everyone says "no thats not what

yea

what u say

but when i install vm, it doesn't work

when i remove them

it work

coincidence? i highly doubt it

cuz now it's running like before

[shadow ivy]

vethernet

isn't vm

[subtle condor]

maybe you just got jobs as soon as you disabled it

[shadow ivy]

hyperv

[subtle condor]

yea I know

[shadow ivy]

i highly doubt it

[subtle condor]

hm

[shadow ivy]

but i mean, the mods won't recommend it to anyone because im just some random bloke from the blo'y uk

[subtle condor]

I'm in the UK too :3

[shadow ivy]

that drinks bo-o o' wu'uh

[unique cedar]

O M G

sgs is finally running somehow

and

yee

[shadow ivy]

everyoen happy today 😄

[unique cedar]

not much but its fine

[shadow ivy]

i was deadass crying and fucking getting so mad

i tried everything

apart from the vm

[subtle condor]

my bandwidth crashed earlier lmao

[shadow ivy]

LOL NO 25 KILL STREAK FOR YOU!!

[pulsar arrow]

never crashed this week

[shadow ivy]

3rd times a charm 😉

[pulsar arrow]

just unstable earnigs here and there

[subtle condor]

same

[shadow ivy]

nah

you're doing only uk

germany

3rd times a charm

[unique cedar]

wtf lmao sgs client sends 0.1 mbps and stops then does that again

[subtle condor]

that's normal

[shadow ivy]

u oh

same happened to me

[unique cedar]

oh

[shadow ivy]

!!

[subtle condor]

that's just it checking that it's connected to Salad's server thing

not jobs

[olive escarp]

what program is that

[unique cedar]

oh okok

[subtle condor]

Glasswire

[shadow ivy]

germany requested most bandwidth fromme

bit sus

hugo urs is consistent

mines like so

inconsistent

like it would be an hour

1 cent

12 mins

1 cent

[subtle condor]

because I've had it running for days

[shadow ivy]

bleh

why would it make a difference

[shadow ivy]

urs just crashed tho

and it started working fine again

[subtle condor]

correct

because it didn't "crash" there was just less jobs

for a little bit

[shadow ivy]

alr alr

why would make differnece

[subtle condor]

that's why

[shadow ivy]

OMG

I WILL RUN

FOR 5 YEARS

!!

[still tendon]

ive noticed a climb in my earnings from bandwidth sharing in the past 2 hours

so i think thats true

[subtle condor]

well, there is ofc a max you'll make with your internet speeds

[shadow ivy]

i run for 5 yerars and be the gus fring of bandwidth

[unique cedar]

lmao

[shadow ivy]

rn im the bald guy that looks like lester

and who hired

steve ogg

and mike

[shadow ivy]

how long have u been running bandwidrh

overall

[silver cedar]

lol wtf

[shadow ivy]

damn kinda sux ass how i have to be running bandwidth 24/7 idk how my mother is gonna feel about that

[silver cedar]

i think this just goes to show that US bw sharing has a lot of potential

but we need customers

[sinful lark]

Bought subnautica below zero with my money from bandwidth w

[shadow ivy]

it'll come eventually

with like heavier gpu and cpu stuff

and bandwidth

like 4090

there will probs be

a lot more requests

for styuff

[unique cedar]

gpu earning for me is not that high

i have a 6600

[cobalt crystal]

getting bandwidth in the us be like

[silver cedar]

now imagine I steal more bw sharing jobs

[cobalt crystal]

im gonna have those 2 things i built stealing more us bandwidth

[shadow ivy]

lucky mf

[unique cedar]

y

[shadow ivy]

i want 6600 xt

😢

[unique cedar]

i have a 2200g tho

[shadow ivy]

🛒🚊

[unique cedar]

ill get 5600 tomorrow

[silver cedar]

i want a 3060 12gb

[shadow ivy]

u lucky oby

[cobalt crystal]

im getting a 6600 this weekend maybe

heh

[unique cedar]

pog

[cobalt crystal]

2 gpu system

one for gaming and one for mining

or whatever

[unique cedar]

which one do u have rn

[cobalt crystal]

i currently have a quadro k5200

[pseudo fog]

sad

[cobalt crystal]

its like 9 years old

[pseudo fog]

im sitting on a 7900...

hd 😭

[cobalt crystal]

but has 8 gb of vram so it still plays all my games fine

at medium to high settings

some black magic that card is

[unique cedar]

might leave my pc on overnight for bw sharing

[cobalt crystal]

i already do that

my pc runs 24/7 basically

(its all server grade hardware)

[unique cedar]

@civic fern give it a try, it works for me now

[cobalt crystal]

we should move to a diff chanel

[unique cedar]

lemme buy a threadripper rq for cpu mine

[cobalt crystal]

lol

[shadow ivy]

my hardware is like bare average

[subtle condor]

RX 590 nice

[jovial fiber]

mine is below low

[hoary gazelle]

okay i'm pretty sure bandwidth sharing is just doing nothing

after 15 hours of GPU and CPU mining + bandwidth sharing, I only made $0.10

That doesn't seem to line up with other people's earnings at all.

[still tendon]

you are mining

[pseudo fog]

15 hours????

[still tendon]

and bandwidth sharing only works if it's fast enough internet

[pseudo fog]

U get like 15c per day

Also

Cpu mining doesnt work with bandwidth sharinf

But cpu containers do

[shadow ivy]

bw sharing makes me way more than 15c a day

[unique cedar]

ive been getting these numbers since it started working today

dunno if theyre alright

[upbeat shuttle]

Just restarted my second PC and noticed it used the Nottingham server for the speed test too

fortunately I don't use that PC for Bandwidth Sharing

[silver cedar]

god I hope librespeed is gone in the next update

[silver cedar]

earnings are slightly picking up

[cobalt crystal]

thats good

[unborn mason]

i have a 6650xt :/

[shadow ivy]

its worse then the 6600

xtr

[unborn mason]

me 9 days in still didnt get bandwidth folder downloaded

[unborn mason]

no

its better

BETTER

[shadow ivy]

no...

google

[unborn mason]

6600 < 6650

[shadow ivy]

ok whatever

[unborn mason]

the xt stand for eXtra Torque

[hoary gazelle]

i think i figured out why bandwidth sharing is earning nothing

it's not running, I don't see sgs-client in task manager

how do i make it work?

[idle wing]

anyone else get a relatively good bw job in the us

[gleaming shell]

no

also must be nice

dont even have sgs client

damn some people are getting several dollars a day from bandwidth sharing
while some others (like me) arent even worthy enough to even get sgs client downloaded

[idle wing]

what are ur download speeds

or just speeds

[gleaming shell]

i do restart my laptop tho

lemme check

254/27 on a very good day (latest log)

41ms ping

kinda bad

[idle wing]

mine was like

lemme check too

I forgot

[gleaming shell]

i got a very good speedtest this time so im not restarting my laptop no matter what (actually this time)

ive promised myself not to restart my laptop several times now but i just end up restarting it lol

also pausing windows updates

[idle wing]

352/59 44ms ping 7 jitter

[hoary gazelle]

yeah, is there any way to get sgs-client to actually appear?

[hoary gazelle]

Same, and nobody seems to have a solution somehow. This was an issue back in September, and I came back half a year later expecting it to be fixed, but it somehow isn't apparently???

Oh wait, looking at their Github, Salad hasn't been updated since September lmao

[unborn mason]

maybe they gonna update this september

[safe loom]

because it’s been in #container-beta since

[safe loom]

what country are you in?

[hoary gazelle]

US

[safe loom]

low demand high supply

less jobs for the user base attempting to share

it’s not something salad can just fix

[hoary gazelle]

Wouldn't sgs-client be running anyway though? Or does it only run when jobs are available.

[safe loom]

i’m not sure how it works in the us

but mine starts after passing the initial tests

then i get a job a couple seconds later

[hoary gazelle]

What are the initial tests?

[safe loom]

ip quality, whether another device is already running, speed test, whether your ip is business or residential, location

all that fun stuff

[hoary gazelle]

Ah. My speed is fine, let me check my ip stuff.

[safe loom]

mine won’t start because of a speedtest issue

the speedtest they use is garbage and stops testing midway through so my upload drops below the minimum speed

[hoary gazelle]

ah

well, i passed the quality and residential thing

how can i do their speed test?

[safe loom]

restart salad bowl

[hoary gazelle]

well, how can i see the results of it is what i mean

[mighty light]

log

[safe loom]

the logs are in the logs folder “ndm”

[mighty light]

^

[unique cedar]

or you could go into salad folder>workloads>ndm>librespeed-cli

[safe loom]

it’s not

that’s not

it’s librespeed-cli

[unique cedar]

i usually do that to see my speeds

yeah that one

[safe loom]

salad won’t read that test though

[unique cedar]

yea

[safe loom]

to retest on salad you have to end salad bowl for it to restart

[unique cedar]

i used to do that to see if my upload fixed

[hoary gazelle]

Well, I got 76mbps download, 41mbps upload, so my speed should be fine.

[unique cedar]

yep

[safe loom]

yes

[unique cedar]

check your firewall

[safe loom]

there’s also the queue for the limited jobs

[hoary gazelle]

alright, i guess i'm just not getting any jobs then

yeah

that's unfortunate
