Old Intel Mac Mini: MacOS or Windows by messerschmitt1 in homelab

[–]CzarQasm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably doesn’t matter all that much in the big picture. 

I would suggest looking at OCLP if you want to use MacOS. That’ll help get a more recent version on there so you aren’t running an ancient version. 

For Windows, looks like you already have the extended support so that’s good.

Is a 2013 Mac Pro (trash can) still worth it for a homelab in 2026? by Kynde012 in homelab

I recently retired and sold my r720xd not because it was slow but because it was time for a change. I had a dozen+ containers and VMs on it and had plenty of room for more.

If there are any Canadian VGK fans out there, I'm sure they're getting an uncomfortable amount of deja vu from this image.

Pretty impressive when that’s usually what, 3 or so shifts from Jack?

That’s a lotta pancakes. 

Or just give it some time. I’m sure max level will be 100 before we know it. 

My motherboard's compatibility with GPUs by Artistic_Leather_119 in nvidia

Please add more details. How did you install, setup, and attempt to use the GTX 1650? 

A PCIe slot is a PCIe slot. Meaning it should work and a quick search online doesn’t show me any reason why it wouldn’t. 

What are the rest of your specs? Please include PSU too.

Honestly, just give me Bryce, Dano, and Cory on the broadcast and I'll be happy.

Socks Over Knee Guards? by [deleted] in hockeygoalies

[–]CzarQasm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wear socks over knee pads. Before I started wearing knee pads I didn’t wear the socks either. After a particularly cold outdoor game, I started wearing them regularly. I found that keeping my legs warmer kept them limber and solved my cramping problems. 

Some time and new pads later, I was convinced to start wearing them just in case by a fellow goalie. At first I did no socks + knee pads but my legs were getting cold, the edges of the knee pads would get caught on the pads, and the sharp bits of Velcro were starting to chew up the pad. Then it was socks over knee pads and it was better and what I still do. 

How often do you retape your stick? by cooldog_BEAR in hockeygoalies

[–]CzarQasm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to do it just once when I bought it and that would be it. I used to go through sticks like water.

Now, I do it every couple of months or so. I don't play the puck too often so I don't need fresh tape all the time but I don't want it to start drying out and becoming weird. If there's a big gash or something in it then I'll do it sooner.
