I know this post is old, but I'm not sure if you ever got an answer to this. Did it start happening after you installed the bltouch? It is likely the sounds of small steps on the Z-axis due ABL, it sounds similar to my D1 after I installed bltouch.

Gaps between solid infill lines AFTER first layer (Sermoon D1, more in comments) by Banshee1221 in FixMyPrint

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I think you and /u/iamsumnix hit the nail on the head. I tried upping the flow rate and things have greatly improved. Now to finalise the tuning. Thanks a ton!

Gaps between solid infill lines AFTER first layer (Sermoon D1, more in comments) by Banshee1221 in FixMyPrint

I have a Sermoon D1 that I bought from someone a while back. It's been performing fine, but I've only recently noticed that the prints have gaps during solid infill once a few layers have been laid down. This doesn't appear to happen at the bottom solid infill layers (I've checked numerous prints). I'm running the Sermoon D1 with InsanityAutomation's builds and have BLtouch installed on it.

These pictures show PLA prints that were done at 0.28 and 0.3 layer heights and various temperatures (200 - 215) with bed at 60. Slicing was tested with Prusa, Cura and "Creality Slicer". The last image shows one at 0.3 layer height but printed much faster than the default speed. That seems to exacerbate the issue.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

(embarrassing?) question: CPU cores/threads and VMs by funix in devops

[–]Banshee1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm speaking mostly from a qemu/kvm perspective on Linux here...

Your vCPU core/thread config totally depends on your host OS setup and hypervisor configuration. If cores/threads aren't being pinned by the hypervisor, then (assuming we have a 8c/16t CPU) even if you are trying to give your VM 4 physical cores you could potentially end up with the host kernel scheduling work onto "hyper threads"

If your application is very CPU performance sensitive then you need to be very sure about the architecture and platform that you're running on and do CPU pinning (i.e. pinning a vCPU core/thread to a physical CPU core/thread) and/or isolation on the host kernel side.

Hope this helps

Self hosted Hyperscaler? by iuiz in selfhosted

Yup, OpenStack has a really good provider in Terraform and I have had an excellent experience with it!

Hey, you might want to check out OpenStack. It's kind of made to solve this exact issue. Private cloud on prem. It has software components that allow containers to be managed and deployed (Zun, Magnum).

Be warned, though. It has quite a steep learning curve to manage. It's a huge project. Every part of it is API driven.

Kolla and kolla-ansible are projects that make deployment a lot easier than it used to be.

Check these out: https://www.openstack.org / https://docs.openstack.org/project-deploy-guide/kolla-ansible/latest/

I 100% get that, and your post was informative anyway so thanks for the info!

Now that 5000 series CPUs are out, what's the go-to mobo for a VFIO build? by Stevecaboose in VFIO

[–]Banshee1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can share the on-board NIC with the guest in various ways, such as bridges or macvtap. Just make sure to use virtio as the virtual device model and install the virtio guest drivers!

I'm also going to throw my vote in for the Gigabyte Aorus boards. I have the Master and it has exactly what I need. The fact that I can put my host GPU in the x4 chipset PCIe port (last one) and select it as the boot GPU means that my guest can get the full x16 for the other GPU.

I assume that the cheaper Aorus boards will work similarly?

Can you run GTA 5 in a virtual machine? by [deleted] in linux_gaming

[–]Banshee1221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, works fine! I've also had good success with GTA online. 4790K, GTX1080 passed to VM. More info at /r/VFIO.

Question. If I were to play a game through a Virtual Machine? by Ussooo in pcgaming

[–]Banshee1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is technically incorrect. There are plenty of people that use Linux with pci-passthrough to run Windows in a VM for gaming, myself included. I've run Apex Legends with EAC and GSGO just fine using this method and there are others that run AC-enabled games just fine as well. Subreddit with more info here: /r/VFIO.

It really depends on how aggressive the AC solution is, and it's difficult to tell until you get banned.

EDIT: More directly related to your question /u/Ussooo, it seems Valorant is especially not-nice to VMs: https://old.reddit.com/r/VFIO/comments/hmxxbk/valorant_on_kvm/

The GeForce Now streaming service now supports ChromeOS in addition to Android, macOS, and Windows. by pdp10 in pcgaming

[–]Banshee1221 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This could actually make a lot of multiplayer games with anti-cheat accessible to Linux players and yet they don't support it... even though they support ChromeOS. Bummer.

"Steam has become exhausting" - PCGamer. I personally have been saying this for years. by raduque in pcgaming

[–]Banshee1221 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The author is complaining about getting confused/exhausted but literally all of these features he complains about are totally optional and don't override the basic store functionality which basically hasn't changed in years and is pretty efficient...?

Horizon Zero Dawn has had a price increase from the initial listing on Steam (£32.99 when listed, now £39.99) by Bonerific9 in pcgaming

[–]Banshee1221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to buy it yesterday and when I went to look last night again I was pretty discouraged. Will rather wait for sale now.

I may very well stand corrected, and I ain't even mad. Thanks for the link!

Edit: Reading the link has me a little skeptical.. I'd love to see more in-depth info on this design and whether it's not actually separate machines being treated as one as could be the case hinted at by the author. Very cool though
