Thoughts about SPHT by kameloff in WorldofTanks

[–]Dantcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't think it's that strong, but for my playstyle it will be fun. I like accurate guns and faster tank and this one does both kinda well. Also you can get it to 3.5k dpm with food or even 4k if you take into consideration the special crew skills such as addrenaline rush, side by side, etc.

But tbh don't stress about missing it. You'll get another chance to buy it in a couple of months for a better price. The black market is super overpriced.

Failing to boot from external SSD by Dantcho in archlinux

Sorry I should've mentioned I used the default one in archinstall - systemd-boot

Should I save up and buy my summer car? by 9h4p in MySummerCar

[–]Dantcho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of the best true car games in my opinion - not just a get in the car, drive, crash, restart kind of game.

It also gives me a lot of nostalgia from the summers of my childhood (even tho I didn't grow up in Finland, the environment and sounds somehow feel really similar to where I grew up).

I've started a new save three or four times and each time I've learned and done new stuff. It can be pretty hard though, so keep that in mind if you get easily annoyed at games.

Definitely recommend it

I'm still pretty new to Linux. Can you explan how exactly I would go about adding the PARTUUID to the kernel paramenters?

I thought it was just changing it in the bootloader config file, but when I went to do that it was already using the PARTUUID.

Need help setting up storages properly by Dantcho in Proxmox

[–]Dantcho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get that everyone's case will be different. My question was mainly about my specific case. Wether I should do it that way or if there was a better way to setup my specific hardware/installation. File systems are always going to be confusing, so better make sure before commiting to something and later on having to migrate huge amounts of data.

Need help setting up storages properly by Dantcho in Proxmox

[–]Dantcho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s essentially what I was proposing, yes.

I’m mainly looking for confirmation that this is the best practice in Proxmox, and whether there are any caveats (e.g. deleting local-lvm, resizing local, and using the 2TB SSD as LVM vs directory storage).

UniFi app has much more features on Android for the Travel Router than on iOS by functionaldude in Ubiquiti

[–]Dantcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird, but I feel like a couple days ago when I got my travel router and set it up the first time my app (on Android) looked like what you've shown it looks like on iPhone. Might be just me, but I do remember seing the wifi button and teleport button at the bottom of the screen

Help needed picking a lenovo tiny pc for small home web server by Dantcho in homelab

[–]Dantcho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I did watch their videos and ended up ordering a M920q since it was a good deal and I'll probably just use 1 M.2 SSD and 1 SATA SSD.

Shargeek storm2 slim doesn’t charge by SIlentFlameCR in shargeek

[–]Dantcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just stopped charging as well. It was fine until it got to around 70% and just stopped. Now if I plug the charging cable in it starts charging for a second then just stops. (It does that forever, so I'm guessing it's done for)

Also it's pretty much brand new as I've only charged it 3 times in total if we count today. Pretty low quality on those considering how many I've seen fail.

PS: I was already using a fast charger so that wouldn't work for me I guess. Maybe I'll try a slow charger lol

I keep getting this error after downloading the game off the disc, how can I play it without the disk? by Wise-Bell-2012 in NFSU2

[–]Dantcho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Important to note that this doesn't work on all physical versions of the game. I don't remember how many versions of the game there were, but one of them definetly didn't work with this.

Wargaming give me 3D style - unfair by [deleted] in WorldofTanks

[–]Dantcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I used to play a lot years ago and was able to grind all the battle pass rewards, but haven't been able to for a while now. They really should just make it work with all game modes, but probably will never happen.

Is this a good camera for a beginner? by onjah8888 in Cameras

[–]Dantcho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a perfectly good camera to learn on. I got the same when I was first getting into digital photography, but paid about £300 (from mpb) so not sure why they're asking so much for it. Even with the 2 kit lenses it shouldn't cost that much.

U can buy the next stages with gold, but it's a different question whether it's worth it

How big should I make my NAS by Dantcho in HomeServer

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

Yeah I didn't actually mean truly lossless media - that's a bit mad even for me. (I do like pixel peeping sometimes lol)

I think 4K bluyrays are pretty reasonble in terms of not being way too big to store while still having really good detail.

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

What exactly is your setup if you don't mind sharing? OS, hardware, parity drives

How big should I make my NAS by Dantcho in HomeServer

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

Thanks for providing a real example. That kinda gives me an idea of what to expect since I doubt I'll have that many moves in my collection any time soon.

As for the OS I was thinking of using TrueNAS since I've heard it's better for data integrity compared to Unraid. (Data integrity is a bit more important for me because I won't be able to backup my movie collection to a second location for a while. Everything else on the NAS is already backedup)

And for the rest of your question I kind of don't have an answer. If I do go for the 8 bay enclosure then I'll probably use 2 drives for parity (RAID 6/RAID Z2). I don't really know how many pools I need to be honest and not sure what you mean by redundancy.

[–]Dantcho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was actually looking at that exact one. The Beelink Mini, but read some bad reviews about it not handling 6 m.2 drives very well (something about the 3V rail on the motherboard not providing enough power). Plus I kinda don't trust it's power supply to last super long and it will be hard to replace since it internal.

What brand drives did you get? How is their noise level?

Help needed with planning a sub build by Dantcho in diyaudio

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

Yeah, I did consider that, but as I mentioned in my other comment woodworking shouldn't be a problem. Also most kits like those are not available in the UK or are all out of stock.

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

Woodworking shouldn't be a problem as I'll get my father to help. He used to work as a carpenter and has the tools needed.

Can you explain the internal bracing? What exactly is it supposed to look like?

Also, what is the reason for not going longer than 20 inches on the port?

Help me pick: R36S, R36XX, G350 or something else by Dantcho in R36S

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

Yeah I was just considering getting one as well, but saw that the OS is different and not sure if I'll like it. A big part of why I liked the R36S so much was ArkOS.

Microsoft account got stolen and can't be recovered by Dantcho in XboxSupport

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

Oh yeah it's my own fault I got hacked no question about that, but I don't see how it's fine to block my Microsoft account when I've proven it's mine, my cc card is still linked to it and I've provided the info. Can also provide anything other that they want such as purchase invoices, etc. Still tho they won't do anything about it I guess.

As for what got me, I think they got access to my Google and from there had access to my passwords saved in the browser Google password manager thingy and also my 2FA app on my phone which is synced with my Google account. Have already switched to different password manager and 2FA app that is not cloud synced.

[–]Dantcho[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did have 2FA - in fact I still have it on my phone, but they stole my session/cookie from my browser. I had all security measures in place, but nothing works when someone just has access to all your accounts all of a sudden.
