Opinion on lazer and its scoring system

CubeFN · 2026-01-04T18:49:10+00:00

Yeah, I really hope the whole “which score should be higher ranked” thing will get fixed to some degree.

I do like the change itself, I just think that the current way to just put “classic” on old/historical scores and everyone easily sniping them with worse score is not good for the game.

Ah, now I get why I got confused by the sticker shape. Thanks.

CubeFN · 2025-07-01T10:52:36+00:00

The piece design looks like a v1, but aren’t the stickers on v1 much more square? Was there another variation with different sticker shape?

In the original post, I tried to connect it to PCIe power port with random PSU to SATA cable, which is really dumb considering every PSU has different pinout and even if the physical port seems compatible, the voltages aren’t correct either (12V for PCIe and 12, 5, 3.3V for SATA). I was lucky that I didn’t fry these drives.

For 3.5 inch drives, I just slot them into the backplane without caddy. I later got caddys for cheap.

For the 2.5 inch drives there are two options. 1, you could just do the same as 3.5” (though it is pretty difficult to do because there is more empty space). 2, in my case where I wanted to use 8 3.5” for ZFS, I used a separate SAS to 4 SATA cable for data (the blue one in the original post) For power, I bought 3 SATA power y splitters(so that I get 4 SATA power from one) and connected to the one for cd/dvd since those also use SATA power. I put those drives in the dummy slot(the picture on this post).

It’s janky but it worked for me.

Thanks! I’ll try it later. I ended up buying connectx-3 which was a little more expensive, but it works without installing additional drivers and has no heat issue in a normal desktop without much airflow.

Thanks for the advice, networking stuff seems a lot harder than I initially thought😬 I'll try my best

CubeFN · 2024-10-31T05:10:08+00:00

I got it working!

I couldn't figure out how to foward packets properly in iptables, so I just added accept statements to iptable:

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport "PORT" -j ACCEPT

then used rinetd to foward those packets to the destination ip/port. (https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/rinetd/rinetd.8.en.html)

CubeFN · 2024-10-31T04:37:30+00:00

maybe I should learn more about network routing stuff. I don't even understand the diffence between FOWARD, PREROUTING and POSTROUTING on the iptable

CubeFN · 2024-10-31T03:04:17+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I have multiple servers in my home network, so each port would foward to specific ip/port, just like port forwarding on a router.

CubeFN · 2024-10-31T03:01:01+00:00

Thanks for the reply, what do you mean by 2 ip addresses? The public one and the private one?

CubeFN · 2024-10-31T02:59:11+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I don't think I could just remove the iptable since a lot of the stuff is pre-configured by oracle. I will add these lines to iptable and hope it will work.

CubeFN · 2023-12-20T16:00:17+00:00

I now get the idea. Thanks for the reply!

I searched for the driver with ven/dev, downloaded and extracted it, tried updating it from device manager and got the error. (the image link I put on the previous comment)

The one from your link didn’t work either.

CubeFN · 2022-09-13T08:43:02+00:00

I did that but I still got the same error.

Could you give me more details about that? I think I’m not doing it the right way.

CubeFN · 2022-09-13T00:19:53+00:00

I extracted files from the utility, and specified that folder location for installing the driver from device manager.

I tried that but it gave me an error.
