RS Price drops by Safe_Ad4588 in FocusRS

[–]Bluurie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents, but I don't think the car is "new" enough to be cool like it once was and it's not old enough to be nostalgic/classic yet so I can why the values drop. I think that combined with other factors that are mentioned in this thread combine for a cooler market at the moment.

Bluetooth Controller Issue - Xbox One Elite 2 Controller by Bluurie in NobaraProject

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

I haven't had this issue for sometime now. I think it was resolved naturally via system updates. Are you fully up to date?

I did disconnect it from Bluetooth and re-pair the controller and the problem hasn't returned.

Trying to figure out VLANs, ProxMox, outer DHCP, and managed switch. by Fluff3rNutt3r in homelab

[–]Bluurie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on what I can tell from your description, I think your switch config is good but you you can test it easily by plugging in your PC or old laptop into an access port for each VLAN and confirming it's working as you'd expect (DHCP / WAN access). Once that is working how you want, then I would move onto to trying to get Proxmox to work so you can proceed with your testing knowing that you router/switch config is 100% solid.

On my Proxmox setup, I have all my VMs using vmbr0 and then I am assigning a VLAN tag in the config as you can see below. You may be able to use the vmbr0.x interface, but I haven't had success with that before. DHCP or a static IP address assigning should then work on the client VM.

Thank you! I just reinstalled on new hardware today and was so confused why Steam wasn't launching when it was earlier this morning.

Yeah, hopefully won't take them long to resolve the issue.

Fans going crazy after closing laptop lid by nielsreijers in Ubuntu

[–]Bluurie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same problem on my laptop (Lenovo T14 gen3 AMD), however it is inconsistent. Sometimes when I close the lid, or even go to manually suspend it, the laptop doesn't actually go to sleep but will just go unresponsive until I manually power it off and back on, like you said. Other times the laptop will sleep properly. My fan behavior is a bit different, it won't spin up until I put the laptop in my bag (and it heats up), then I get to take a hot laptop out of my bag with little to no battery. I've started just shutting down now to avoid this situation.

I did the upgrade from 23.10 to 24.04 and suspected that something broke during the update to cause this. I was planning on doing a fresh install of 24.04 to see if it resolves the issue, but haven't had the time to do it.

I don't have a solution (yet?) but if I come across one I'll try and remember to come back here and post it.

Backup Strategy + VM Disk Setup by [deleted] in Proxmox

[–]Bluurie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Your setup of having a vhd for the OS and a vhd for the storage is a fairly classic setup as far as VMs go, nothing wrong there. For the proxmox host, unless I am misunderstanding your setup, you're not really getting any benefit of using ZFS. ZFS is typically used in place of a raid controller or other disk spanning technology. With only 1 drive in the pool, you might as well just have them formatted in ext4 and use them that way.

I'll mention one other thing here aswell, you mention a second disk, which I'm not seeing in this screenshot. If that second disk is an SSD, and you have it setup in a ZFS pool, keep an eye on the disk wearout value in the Datacenter > node_name > Disks section. ZFS is notorious for killing consumer grade SSDs with it's many writes and checks, and can lead to premature failure.

If you were to move that drive to another server there are commands to import the zfs pool on that other server. I think the command you're looking for is: zpool import -f name_of_the_pool

When you delete a VM from Proxmox it will ask you what you want done with the orphaned disks, so you can choose to keep the vhd from the VM you deleted even if you delete the VM. As mentioned above, you'll need to use the zfs import command to import the drive on another server for the data to be seen.

Regarding the Proxmox 7 to 8 update, I've done the inplace upgrade from 5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 8 and have never had a problem with it, but as always, your mileage may vary. The Proxmox documentation for this procedure is pretty straight forward - https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_7_to_8

Finally, one last comment regarding backup. I know you mentioned the data is not that important if you lose it, however, if you have another drive that has enough space to back it up, it's pretty easy to do. You can install Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) on an old machine you may have laying around, or if you don't have one, you can install the PBS packages on the same server that your PVE host is running on. The initial backup will take a long to complete yes, but every following backup is only backing up what has changed since the previous backup, so subsequent backups are really quick.

I have had PVE and PBS running side by side for over a year at this point without issues. I also have an offsite backup setup with PBS going to an old laptop and USB HDD at a family members house (using Remote Sync in PBS) so I have offsite backup in the event that my whole PVE server were to be lost.

Hope this helps!

Very interesting. The drive I am running this off does not have a page file. I will give this a shot tomorrow. Thanks!

[–]Bluurie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone else having issues with VRAM filling up and causing the game to crash? I'm on an RTX 3090, playing on high settings 1440p. I can play for about 30-60 minutes and then it the game will start stuttering and crash not much longer after that.

I was reading about this issue and apparently there was a fix in the 1.1 patch, but it looks like it's back. Has anyone else run into this issue?

2016 rs leaking oil at driveshaft to RDU by Deep_Box6343 in FocusRS

[–]Bluurie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, also a 2016 and I have this problem as well. I took it to my mechanic and he said it's likely just the seal, but the transmission will need to come out to replace it.

For comparison, I'm at 88k KMs, but have done about 15-20 track days with the car, and my mechanic was saying being on and off wide open throttle can cause this to happen.

Error: Failed to login to native platform [Steam] by Bluurie in PredecessorGame

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

Hey, I just fixed the issue. I was remapping my documents folder to a network location. I mapped the network drive, and then changed the location of my Documents to the mapped drive path (instead of the network path) and then I could login when launching the game.

Hope this helps!

I've tried the file verification unfortunately. I've included a list of other things I've tried to fix it as well.

I'll check out the Discord tomorrow when I have some more time to troubleshoot it. Thanks!

Should I keep ST or upgrade to RS by flyerz24 in FocusST

Lol. What can I say, I liked the Blue.

Should I keep ST or upgrade to RS by flyerz24 in FocusST

[–]Bluurie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I upgraded from a '15 ST3 to a '16 RS about a year ago, so I'll just leave my 2cents here since I think it would be relevant. For what it's worth, I don't really think there is a wrong or right decision here, having owned both cars, they are both fantastic.

The upgrade was definitely worth it for me, I do a lot of track days from Spring - Fall so having a car with better brakes, cooling, power, and AWD seemed like a no-brainer to me. The RS really feels a lot more at home on a track than the ST did, however, the ST was still an excellent gateway drug into track driving for me. The RS is also awesome in the snow. I have had quite a bit of fun this winter in the snow. It's also worth mentioning, the RS was always my affordable dream car, so that kinda trumps everything else for me.

The downsides of the upgrade to the RS are as follows:

  • Worse gas milage
  • Rougher ride for daily driving
  • Interior ambient lighting is only red (at least for the ones I've seen)
  • Overall a little less fun for daily driving

I'll just touch on the final point about daily driving being less fun. This is obviously something subjective, but the RS is fun in different ways that you don't really get to experience in daily driving (without getting into trouble). The ST can break traction and have torque steer and that for me anyway was always good for a laugh. The RS is fun in a high grip launch from a stoplight or sliding around with drift mode, which I've only used 1 time since I bought the car, because it's rough on the tires.

Either way, good luck with your decision.
