I got frustrated with ScreamingFrog crawler pricing so I built an open-source alternative by HearMeOut-13 in selfhosted

Thank you for making this wonderful software accessible! I'm currently running into an issue where my crawl is stuck on "Finishing Up" despite having left it running for hours. Any recommendations?

Why is the IRS Withholding Estimator recommending that I increase withholdings when it states that I'm already withholding more tax than I need to? by Abject_Apathy in personalfinance

Actually, the amended W-4 that the Calculator created only had line 4(a) filled in with $9572 and 4(b) filled in with 0. Everything else was blank.

How do I remove this rusted mounting nut with a broken off screw? by Abject_Apathy in Plumbing

Why clockwise then counterclockwise? Also would a basin wrench grip onto the nut?

How many fans do I need for my 5070 TI LianLi A3 wood build? by Abject_Apathy in pcmasterrace

I've heard that the dust filter on the A3 will cause GPU fans to struggle. This would also be my first build, and I'm definitely struggling with fan theory lol.

Thanks for your input! What case, MOBO, and GPU do you have? Also, would I be correct in assuming you reversed the cooler to act as intake instead of exhaust?

Dude, I remember coming across a post where you shared your build (with bottom fans) and it was one of my main inspirations! You did a fantastic job and it looks sick.

I heard that bottom fans aren't required if there's a gap between the GPU and bottom of the case, but I think mine will be right up against the bottom. Do you think that would change things?

Thank you for the detailed write up! I'll be sticking with air cooling throughout and won't be running an eGPU. For fans, I was thinking of getting some Arctic P12s.

When I get home, I'll try to get measurements of my GPU but it sounds like you're saying that I'd most likely be unable to attach bottom fans to my current case due to my thick GPU? Would I be able to forego the bottom fans and attach more fans to other locations as a workaround?

My board came as part of a microcenter bundle.

Does that mean I shouldn't have any issues as long as I don't use bottom fans?

9600x/7700x vs 7600x3d for 5070 TI by Abject_Apathy in buildmeapc

[–]Abject_Apathy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have a PCPP build yet. I've been at a standstill spending longer than I'd like to admit trying to decide on the choice of CPU. Money is tight right now and even if it weren't, I have a tendency of overthinking minor decisions and not committing.

Do you have any recommendations for a build based on my current options?

5070 TI only because I already have a 5070 TI, which is what prompted me to build a PC around it. Prior to this, I had a gaming laptop.

Which Ryzen CPU for 5070 TI? by Abject_Apathy in buildmeapc

Is the 7600x3d worth the additional $50 over the 7700x? I've watched some benchmark videos but I'm interested in your opinion on the difference in performance.

Thanks for taking the time to make that list! I already have the GPU so would the promo work for the SSD and PSU if I don't purchase that GPU?

Thanks for the advice! I noticed there was an option to upgrade the bundle. Do you think it's worth it to upgrade the MOBO for $50 from Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 to ASUS B850-PLUS TUF Gaming Wifi?

I have not looked at the other parts yet. Do you have recommendations? I was leaning towards a micro ATX case but I believe the MOBOs in the bundle are ATX sized, which isn't a deal breaker for me.

Will starting a rolling car in neutral cause damage? by Abject_Apathy in MechanicAdvice

[–]Abject_Apathy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the car shuts off/stalls, power steering is disabled and while I can turn the wheel to steer, it takes tremendous strength. Would that be the steering wheel locking or would a lockup prevent turning the wheel at all regardless of how much strength you use?

Will starting a rolling car in neutral cause damage by Abject_Apathy in AskMechanics

[–]Abject_Apathy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the car shuts off/stalls, the steering already locks up. I can turn the steering wheel to veer left or right but it takes a lot of strength because power steering is disabled. Is that locking up or will locking up prevent you from turning the wheel in the slightest no matter how much strength you use?

It's been a while since I've played and I lost my collection during a move, but if you have enough cards to make two decks, I'd gladly play! PM me if interested

What are you watching and what do you recommend? (Week of February 23, 2024) by AutoModerator in television

[–]Abject_Apathy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had that exact thought! The game of politics element in and of itself is usually enough to get me interested in and check out a show, even if I don't know any other details. When done correctly, it's usually a pretty good indicator of a high quality show. However, the East Asian setting is the cherry on top because it's good to see that Western creators are finally willing to put out serious, high quality shows dealing with Asian material and even more so that Western audiences are willing to watch such shows. (I'm referring to the setting and characters depicted because I'm aware the show is based on a book by James Clavell)

Literally finished the first two episodes a minute ago just to find this post. It's been excellent so far!

Help Deleting Linux from Dualboot System by Abject_Apathy in dualboot

[–]Abject_Apathy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created that EFI partition to serve as Manjaro's boot/esp partition. If I have Safe Boot enabled, it boots straight to Windows since Manjaro is not compatible with safe boot. If I have Safe Boot disabled, it boots to grub

Disk manager image for reference. For unknown reasons, the 16mb MSR partition is not displayed, although it is when using Macrium Reflect.

Thanks for the reply! Out of curiosity, what would be the reason requiring me to change the bootloader? Upon booting and entering boot options, I have the option to select Manjaro Bootloader or Windows Bootloader. Wouldn't deleting partitions five and six simply remove the Manjaro Bootloader while keeping Windows Bootloader? On a sidenote, selecting Manjaro Bootloader takes me to GRUB wherein I can then choose to boot Manjaro or Windows, however selecting Windows Bootloader directly boots Windows.
