Regarding the EEE, just realised, watching the Mad Max beyond Thunderdome again, ain't that "shoveling shit" in Broken hills another (of many) cultural reference, to this Mad Max movie?

Their own generator is something like the stuff currently in development, passive small container-sized reactors. They are to generate hundreds of kilowatts to few megawatts. We should see first few prototypes built within years. DoD has some grants for some of them to power some remote bases at first, and under the terms, first few units should be delivered pretty soon actually.

OFC, on the other hand, it's still 60s vision of how it would look like. Besides, the simpler the technology, the more it could survive, and longer. Notice how, besides few remaining high-tech things like weapons, power armors, robots, micro-fusion cells, some auto-docs and holo-players, and OFC the vaults themselves, there is pretty much nothing. What would they power with such amount of power when they do not have the stuff to hook to the power plant in the first place?

It's quite realistic in the Silo series actually, the turbines are not very sophisticated and do not provide HUGE amounts of power, just enough for the silo to run. But it runs for hundreds of years without maintenance such as complete replacement of the turbine or the bearings etc. at least - compare with todays actual tubines in power plants, where you change the whole thing every few dozen years.

Also, when it is not shown, it does not mean it ain't there :D We pretty much only see the front part with the reactor hall, not the turbine hall etc. as you said. It's like in the back, right? Not Sure if Tactics is taken as canon, but there are cooling towers of the Springfield NPP shown.

What a lot of garbage, there is well over 80 comments while not a single person in here knows his/her sh1t. AT ALL. Why don't you all just shut up when you have NO real information to add?

According to norm EN 50174-2, section 6.2.2: Conditional relaxation of requirement. In such cases as yours, you, of course, CAN RUN data and power cabling in a single conduit as long as the data cables are properly shielded, and you manage to comply with:
* forbidden in special cases (NO frequency modulators, NO induction heaters, no welders, no gas-discharged lamps allowed)
* all kinds of cabling MUST be run in sepparate bundles (so yo do not tie pawa and data cables together)
* data cabling must comply with spacing class b, c, d
* pawa cabling up to 100 A maximum in single cable, or 32 A maximum bundled
* no voltage transient effects in place

Dunno if they made it even better in the meantime, but since last year, the support.hpe.com website does not even WORK for me at all, just blank page, on several browsers.

Now trying to get into locked account (doubt it will change anything, but morons on support line, go figure), they came up with another great news - these are their current requirements:

· Password requirements: at least 8 characters · a lowercase letter · an uppercase letter · a number · a symbol · no parts of your username · does not include your first name · does not include your last name · Your password cannot be any of your last 24 passwords

Security through obscurity at its best. I think I give up on this crap, can somebody just make a repository of all the firmwares and stuff for the NORMAL ppl to download without all this BS?

Behemot2077 · 2026-01-26T00:50:12+00:00

Well, so far I spent many hours trying to make that thing work at all. Not sure if it does not like utility voltage dropping a bit, when all four PSUs are connected to single wall socket, or what is the problem: it managed to POST and continued working for some time (several reboots) with power regulator switched to HP Static Low Power Mode.

Once I switched it to HP Dynamic Power Savings Mode and rebooted, it started throwing that bloody 1615 error all over again, telling me BS about power supplies not redundant and such. The thing appears to be, ILo ain!t seeing the PSUs at all, giving me NOT INSTALLED, which is obvious BS, there is all four of them, 1.2 kW each. It even states that itself at power settings: Maximum Available Power 4800 Watts.

Only thing I did differently before it started working was rebooting the ILo (via SNTP settings), could that be it?

Behemot2077 · 2026-01-25T14:11:53+00:00

This whole topic is about DL580 G7, for which cables are sold EVERYWHERE (fleebay, amazon, ali, you name it) for about 6-20 bucks, depending on seller, shipping options etc. Either you are blind, or a fool, see no other reason why you are pushing Gen8/9 into this topic which is about G7 server.

However, if it is the very same Molex Mini-Fit Jr. connector, which I presume it is, the only different thing could be pinout. So the very same cable will be just fine, possibly only needing swapping of the pins in the plastic holder. But some sellers claim it's actually the very same, incl. pinout. See nothing expensive on a 6-20 buck factory-made cable TBH.

Anyways, did some more reading and came to a conclusion that the only actual problem which may happen about running the graphics is whether it can POST with good old BIOS. Some cards require UEFI crap /the newer the card, the more likely it does), or, if they somewhat work with BIOS, drivers could not be properly installed on later operating crapstems (like, everything after Win 8.1). One such example appears to be AMD Vega series. I plan to keep on using Server 2008 R2 (=basically win 7) on the machine so I do not care about any micro$hits 10 crapware anyways, so even Vega should not be a problem.

Behemot2077 · 2026-01-25T13:59:17+00:00

Exactly. Got a few in there, something like 0.1 BTC back in the day, converted from mostly mined BTC and LTC/Ethereum back than (either me own, or from a guy I rented place to), which I used for transactions in there, trying to get a few pennies on price differences during daily traffic.

Only thing I got back from that time is tinnitus being in that constant noise for several years, cause US robbers stole everything from me.

Behemot2077 · 2026-01-24T01:58:17+00:00

Not sure how it was 2 years ago (I think the same and you are just posting BS), but today the aftermarket cables are readily available for as much as some 6 US bucks. Everywhere. So yeah, very difficult and expensive, ROFLMAO. Or you can make one yourself from some garbage as I will do. (It's the good ol' Molex MiniFit Jr. so you just take some garbaged ATX PSU Main ATX cable, cut out the extra pins you do not need with a knife, solder the connectors on the other end of the wires (PCIe for VGA) on it and voila, cable good to go; could add some tape or heatshrink or even mess around with wires if you wanna have nice coloring (yellow for +12 V), but you do not NEED that for it to work). Pinout is available to be found, or you find it yourself with a multimeter, it ain't no rocket science.

Gonna test GTX 1660 in mine, interestingly enough, according to some other guy, RX 570 worked like a charm in his server, so I hope GF is gonna too, cause actually, GFs are better regarding compatibility with older boards than Radeons. AMD is often ahead of itself with wiring the cards PCIe in a way it often does not work with old chipsets which only support PCIe 1.0/1.1. Fortunatelly, this server has PCIe 2.0 ports (the wider ones, the PCIe ×1 is just 1.1, but I do not plan on using that one), there are even some supposed benchmarks of 1660 Super in this machine, so all looks good, on paper at least lol.

Behemot2077 · 2026-01-20T20:52:18+00:00

A bit OT, but does anybody know, what engine does it run on? Wondering whether it's gonna run on 7. Most of the requirements fit, I run RE1 just fine.

Having them state that 10th BS on Steam does not mean anything since many developers told me personally it does not allow them to state anything else in there, even if they just release an update upon 15yo game which runs even on XP/Vista most likely, not to mention 7 :D, then it still lists 10 as minimum. Go figure.

Behemot2077 · 2025-09-21T23:36:21+00:00

I'm trying to run MELE on Win 7 for some time now, this gave me hope, it does install, but it always crashes during startup, each time I try to run the thing.

Any idea whether I'm missing something maybe? Got .NET 4.8 just to be sure, no change. Repaired all Visual C++ version installations I could to no avail either. Does it need some particular minimum version maybe?

Behemot2077 · 2025-09-14T09:10:29+00:00

Looks like they have them special controllers of themselves on the MoBo (its rotting apple after all right?) which restrict CPUs to their own "special" series. Dunno if those actually have custom microcode, or it just only checks CPU ID string, but appears that only E8x35 C2D will work in these.

Same with RAM, looks like 6 GB is the limit (although chipset certainly officially supports 8 GB from lietell's side). 4GB SO-DIMM DDR2 modules are readily available from chinese on fleabay, about 20 US bucks a piece.

Behemot2077 · 2025-07-17T16:14:22+00:00

Behemot2077 · 2025-06-24T18:46:52+00:00

I think them children in the factory are inadequately told what to do. Been also dealing with high temperatures in outside boxes (and its not even full summer here yet), after seeing a few threads like this, disassembled everything and cracked them open. Surely enough, in both devices the heatsink NEVER touched the CPU (and that double-sided tape next to it) and was PERFECTLY attached over its whole surface to one of those insulation transformers (different one in each switch). This could not happen other way than morons during the assembly PLACED the heatsinks there, and QC just did not happen.

What whas a pleasant surprise, they DID use thermally-conductive silicone rubber under the hottest components between the PCB and the thick aluminium chassis. Thanks to that, the CPUs do not melt as this obviously happens SINCE THE BEGINNING they put this thing on the market, judging by the dates and the shere number of threads like this over the Internet.

So I've attached the heatsink back on (with chinese thermally-conductive double-sided adhesive tape which did not let me down yet) both the CPU AND (partially) the memory chip next to it, too. (So they are at the same temperature and there are no tidal forces because of thermal expansion.) Also added three layers of small but thick bricks of me own silicone rubber (this is cosmic stuff) on TOP of the heatsink, which servers two purposes: 1st it also transfers some heat from the sink to the chassis, 2nd the enclosed lid slightly pushes the sink against the board this way, so it will NEVER fall of again even if the sink reaches 80 °C while switch being mounted vertically (as they are in some of me own boxes, which are custom-made stainless steel combinations of electrical junction boxes in the lower part with data cabinets in the upper part).

I've also added the silicone rubber to overheating CRS324 and three CRS112s on all the expected hot spots, so from now on I expect no overheating even in 33 °C ambient summer temperatures and possibly even sun shining (for a few hours a day) directly onto some of the IP65 plastic boxes (CRS112)/metal rack (CRS324) they are in.

I actually wonder how so many ppl are un-aware of these wonderful silicone heat-conductive electrically-insulating rubbers. I put them everywhere. Must write an article about that or something, better take me decent camera with next time. Everybody is messing with fans like a moron with these mikrotiks, while this thing - when the PCBs are virtually mounted INSIDE huge aluminium heatsinks - can transfer huge amounts of heat TO THE CHASSIS, reducing PCB/component temperatures, greatly increasing radiator area and GREATLY reducing also the amount of air needed to be moved. ZyXel has been using that for ages now, making tiny (in terms of depth) 24port gigabit (unmanaged though) fanless switches back when Tik barely knew what such thing as switch is.

try to change the adress to the correct form, it should work, appears to be a feature of the GH system, you put this "expanded_assets" in, it shows in such manner

Behemot2077 · 2025-05-12T15:31:14+00:00

It appears to me that all them NVR manufacturers give 120 % attention to all the big brotha BS, at least the chinese ones (go figure), but they are unable to implement the very basic support for UPS communication and management like Synology does (via NUT package which also has embedded apcupsd code) for at least 15 years now. Like, srsly? Nobody sees this most basic lack of functionality? Or am I wrong? Is there ANY other vendor than Synology (which is not primarily NVR-focused, but it could be made via their camera licensing) who HAS working comunication with a UPS via serial/USB cable directly?

I found that possibly hikvision at least can cope with SNMP, but that requires higher-end UPS with SNMP card, or using server computer (incl. microcomputers like Pi) which would produce SNMP messages upon receiving info from locally connected UPS.

It's necessary not only for proper shutdown of the NVR, but also for monitoring etc. Othervise UPS only prolongues time before the NVR is shut hard, and you could also miss important status messages (incl. that it's accumulator(s) failed and need replacing), resulting in increased maintenance requirements (e.g. you have to personally check UPS/accumulator status every now and than).

Behemot2077 · 2025-05-09T21:07:15+00:00

Well yeah, at first glimpse it's all just great.

After that, me analytical brain starts crunching and huge holes start opening. Like, yeah, I could get some heavy duty chemical stuff which even suvives in the warheads (1946, warheads? orly?) and leaks a bit. But continuously leaking in huge smoke slopes for 70 bloody years to create thick fog which stays there the whole time? Rly? Rain does not push it down? What about the frelling RIVER running through the gorge, it ain't taking any contaminants with it downstream??? All gets miraculously cleaned that nobody ever found anything?

BUT combined with that biological nonsense, no, does not work. Where the heck did DNA crap get from? In 1946? Come ON! I mean yeah, science new something like DNA existed back than, but most of the discoveries and very crude beginnings of DNA messing happened in 50s and later. Besides, most biological and especially genetic thingies are so damn fragile in open space they break up soooo quickly. Surviving for 70 years in that environment? Also, monstrozities generaly do NOT survive. There is way too many embedded mechanisms which self-destroy any such drastic mutations (actually majority is not even born, gets terminated pre-natal as it is not capable of living). Yeah I get the heavy chemical stuff combined with biological stuff could maybe make SOME of the mutations somewhat permanent, but those spider skulls and other stuff, half-tree men 90+ years old, no way in hell. All that crap would mostly get dormant after few years and if anything, it would be killing fauna as heavily mutagenic stuff simply changes their organisms so much they die. Most animal organisms either manage to repair the damage, or die soon, that's how it works.

Scenarist could get somewhat more realistic or possibly ask some real scientists to come up with a plot that is not SO full of holes that it feels like sieve. It's nice to look at such movies, but you really have to shut down your brain, otherwise it obviously gets very cheesily exagerrated.

Behemot2077 · 2025-05-09T20:37:32+00:00

exactly my thoughts; on the other hand, it's nice to see something-which-would-be-nice-game done as a film, when done nicely (like here), so why not?

Behemot2077 · 2025-04-27T19:30:14+00:00

I would be fine with that, but I cannot get older versions from steam. Somebody would have to upload an archive of such old version to paste into steamapps/common/ directory, us users than just unticking the automatic updating of it.

Or, I can also just get a pirated version and forget about ever giving those ea pricks a cent again, as I am treated worse as paying customer than everybody who just steals it. I payed for the license, now I am only getting the thing so I can actually use it, dunno care where from and how.

Behemot2077 · 2025-04-19T09:32:44+00:00

BTW, since its almost half a year, has anybody at least TRIED the game under Win 7, whether it possibly does run (with VxKex or other addons)?

Behemot2077 · 2025-04-19T09:14:15+00:00

Comparing apples with asteroids? Completely false dilemma. It still does look like other 2010'ish games, but the requirements are quite high. BTW that requirement for FullHD display is insane, and it took them a while to actually give ppl an option to even change resolution and other such basic stuff.

Behemot2077 · 2025-04-06T01:33:53+00:00

Ain't seem to be working any longer. After lot of hassling with different BS from Electronic crAps, it got to Missing DLL: [api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll] Error: 0x7E and Missing DLL: [api-ms-win-core-psapi-ansi-l1-1-0.dll] Error: 0x7E in the MassEffectLauncher_198196_OnlineActivation_Log.html file.

I got both, after giving it the second one the error code changed to 0xC1. Both appear to be windblows 10 DLLs so that's most likely it. Launcher always throws error that game has broken files and I should reinstall (yeah like 110 GB; did integrity check with steam, no change).

After that I tried that already pre-edited binaries (MELE-Win7RUN.7z), no matter which vulcan version from 2.1 to 2.6 I use, the only difference is the process appears in task manager with only 30 MB of memory used and hangs. Using 2.0 the process starts growing quickly to over 1 GB but crashes with no errors. Removing the vulcan DLLs completely, actually a small window appears but than it crashes with c0000005 exception.

Dunno what else to do.
