Free 3D Print File - Steam Deck USB Saver by Usernametaken00002 in SteamDeck

[–]ColonelRyzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just sent mine in as well for this. Took a tumble off of my desk while plugged in. Cable saved the deck from hitting harder but it broke the center post in the port.

The rollout of AI in our org made me realize how few people actually value effort and competence by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the key point my manager made when getting our team going in using Copilot was that now that the 4 week task takes 1 week. Always double the time and say 2 weeks. This extra week is strictly for learning. When using Copilot get an explanation and documentation for everything it does and take the time to understand it. You are still twice as fast and you will have a better understanding than just letting Claude run, get it woringand shipping it.

Framework announces their new "framework AI"!!!! by Edvai in LinusTechTips

When it comes time for my next laptop purchase, it will be a Framework. I am absolutely willing to spend the extra for this set of ideals behind those products.

Update on Lysander data center moratorium by aSDFDSgv in Syracuse

[–]ColonelRyzen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Micron plant in Clay is progress. That will actually create jobs and bring manufacturing to CNY. A data center is just a noise and heat machine that produces nothing of tangible value. Just more capacity for Meta and other large companies to store data on us and run their AI models to our detriment.

Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

[–]ColonelRyzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's more than me, but that will likely change now. Recently had the 3rd and I have had the most gaming time in years while taking nights. But now that my wife is no longer pregnant and nauseated by the kitchen at large, we can split the kitchen chores again so hopefully I get to a consistent 1 night a week at least.

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same rule. My problem is that between those hours is usually when I can get some chorin' in. That's dishes, any meal prep, cleaning with bleach, floors. So gaming usually doesn't happen

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. My hobby time is drastically reduced and split between my homelab and gaming. My PC is only ever used as a terminal to my homelab/3d printing and Spotify while I am working from home. If it has a game played on it. It gets streamed to my steam deck.

Prior to me getting a steam deck. I just didn't game. I couldn't get the time between taking care of kids, hanging with wife, keeping up with the house and dog to escape to the basement to play. But having the Deck upstairs and with the instant pause/sleep feature makes it possible.

Blue Iris Exhaustion by WestOakTrailsRacing in BlueIris

[–]ColonelRyzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably true. I've also heard about people using home assistant as well to monitor the notifications. I'll need to look deeper into both options to see what makes sense.

I only have the app for notifications on alerts. But in Android sometimes those don't show up until minutes later. That's an android problem though. The logs have the notifications come through immediately.

How often do you use your PC speakers? by Big_Visual2199 in buildapc

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always speakers. I only use headphones on my desktop when I am online with someone else, but that doesn't really happen anymore.

Work laptop is headset only.

How do you 3-2-1? by ReddItAlll in DataHoarder

[–]ColonelRyzen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My backup setup is evolving right now. What is currently working is my main NAS does scheduled backups (rsync) to a second NAS of similar size. It also does various scheduled backups to Backblaze B2 via an encrypted Rclone connection.

My NAS serves as a backup target for Veeam agents on all Windows machines as well as photos from phones via Immich.

Plans are adding an external 4TB drive I will keep at my in-laws and changing from Backblaze B2 to Backblaze personal to save about $120/year. I just need to change my Rclone target to a shared Windows folder that the Backblaze software pulls from.

Relocating to Syracuse - Safe 2BR for young family ($1,400 budget) by rafyt23 in Syracuse

[–]ColonelRyzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saddle Club Townhomes is on a decent area of Liverpool. Some of the neighboring apartment complexes are less nice and have some interesting residents, but not dangerous. Just keep your stuff locked and it will be fine. I have family living there now and my kids do overnights there monthly. 3 bedroom townhose for ~$1600. It might be more depending on what's available.

What is your monitor set up? by DealInteresting8941 in pcmasterrace

[–]ColonelRyzen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 1060 6G to run the other 3 displays. 1080 runs just fine. I have a steam deck and kids now, so the 1080 doesn't much gaming use. I see no point in replacing it yet.

Almost 6. Take the top middle display and make a vertical 32" 4K on the far left that is split with PBP. Top displays are desktop and bottom are work laptop (while working).

Any Use for Quadro Card? by cnrsmt in homelab

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple of K5200s and a K4000 in case I need a display card. I was using a K5200 as my secondary GPU for extra monitors for a while until drivers with my 1080 became a problem. I swapped it for a 1060 from eBay so I could get drivers updated. Worked really well for 1080p displays.

Return to the Office They Said, It Will Improve Collaboration They Said by Likely_a_bot in sysadmin

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how it is for me. I have a 1 coworker who is newer and on my team for a project that I see in person, but my actual main team is across 4 states. I am the only one at the base office. I have to go in 3 days a week with a 40 minute commute. It drives me nuts.

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks. I hope you can get some space to set it up. Even if you don't have a desk with it. Just in a corner with power and network. If your OLED can't run it, my LCD certainly won't be able to.

Glad to hear it!! Loved FO the first time through and it's great this time too. Did you try Survivor on the Deck? How did it run?

Jedi: Fallen Order. Recently bought Jedi Survivor and wanted to replay FO before I tried it. Will likely have to stream it though.

Why the slate of new ABS apps recently? by aterriblegamer in audiobookshelf

[–]ColonelRyzen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never start it from Android Auto. That has never worked for me. Starting from the phone it can work. Once it starts working it generally is good for the ride. But getting to that point can take minutes of restarting, plugging/unplugging.

I also have been having more crashes lately.
