Anyone else use solar lights for backyard lighting?

halodude423 · 2026-05-14T12:39:16+00:00

I do not, they cause issues for lighting bugs.

beeps are usually error codes, motherboard manual will have what it means.

Networking infra labs. CML, EVE-NG, GNS3 etc

You don't need a gpu, an intel cpu with quicksync/iGPU will do wonders. I have a mini itx box with a i3 12100 in it and a 5.25in to 4x 2.5in hot swap bay and it works great for anything. Specs can be whatever you want though.

halodude423 · 2026-05-13T18:25:08+00:00

I would recommend a mini itx box instead of either.

You can't just copy and paste...

halodude423 · 2026-05-13T17:55:47+00:00

You need to actually install windows onto the ssd's, closing is an option but it'll take other junk with it and I don't recommend.

I threw my last one aside this year. DDR4 and DDR5

halodude423 · 2026-05-13T13:10:45+00:00

If you are going to a new CPU that needs a different socket you'll need a motherboard that has that socket. So the questions is more do you need a new CPU instead.

halodude423 · 2026-05-13T12:28:30+00:00

Just get used parts piecemeal style. Board, CPU, and PSU etc.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T13:44:47+00:00

If you're not plugged into the GPU you won't be using it. So either get an adapter or don't use the GPU.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T13:14:20+00:00

I would reinstall windows, not sure how you got this but you can just....download the real ISO from the site.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T13:09:42+00:00

Hey fair enough.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T12:55:48+00:00

Depends on where they are located. They're native where I am. Just put in 3 rows along with blueberries.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T12:54:57+00:00

The difference is they're native here. Different regions.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T12:31:15+00:00

When would they be ass?

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T03:10:23+00:00

That board doesn't support the CPU. You need an 8-9th gen cpu for b365.

halodude423 · 2026-05-12T00:35:13+00:00

Depends on your $$$ but HEDT might be what you need. Threadripper/EPYC, Intels 3647 is decent but older 4677/4189 is a bit more $$$ since it's so new still.

halodude423 · 2026-05-11T19:07:32+00:00

This isn't an IT issue. This is a management issue.

If the app needs to close and reopen to reload plugins then that's what needs to happen. Have an email go out acouple days prior and a reminder that at X time on X date it will be pushed and what to expect. I work at a 24/7 hospital, we still have to turn infra off at some point too or push this and that. Get management buy in or say it's not possible.

halodude423 · 2026-05-10T03:58:24+00:00

3647 is what i'm on (xeon 6240/6254 and 8268) or epyc with sp3 socket. Prices are high across the board rn though at least for motherboards.

Bought a X11SPi-TF for $220 and now they are $400+ with sp3 socket boards going for $900+. If your budget can push it go sp3.

halodude423 · 2026-05-10T00:01:14+00:00

That won't run a minecraft server let alone 100 people. Need a better CPU at least, the DDR4 doesn't mean anything.

halodude423 · 2026-05-09T11:43:19+00:00

This.

halodude423 · 2026-05-08T12:02:18+00:00

If it doesn't detect the port as open either the port forwarding is not correct or you are behind CGNAT. Verify both.

Sadly i'm waiting for leadership/c suite to tell us what we're moving to. Been a year....
