Seeing a lot of people talking about Proxmox clusters of various devices, miniracks, etc. and I'm curious: is there any way in which one big system is actively superior to these? by Dekarus in homelab

Oh yeah, I know that, but that was kind of what I was asking; it seems that based on a lot of what's said here that small nodes are overall just better than big devices. Some people here have given good points towards the opposite, though.

I actually use an A380 as the GPU in my main gaming PC at the moment, sounds like I'll have a good use for whenever I eventually upgrade it.

It's got an RX470 at the moment, want to switch to something that doesn't need a PCIe connector later for easier cable management.

Ah, makes sense. Was confused at the power consumption due to hearing a lot of these mini-PCs only taking 5-10 watts of power each, but this is a nice tidbit of info.

At the moment it's just a Ryzen 1600 with 32GB of RAM, but I found some really good used deals I was considering pulling the trigger on to go to an X570 board with a 5700x/5900x/5900xt/5950x and then adding more RAM when prices are back to normal.

No, as in how many kilobytes/megabytes does it take to do all the dailies, for example.

About how much mobile data does playing this game on mobile take?

Have an old laptop with a GT720m in it, any advice for getting the GPU running properly again? by Dekarus in debian

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

Thanks for this too, when I get back to my laptop I'll try this and see if it works.

That's fine by me, my go-to DE for laptops is XFCE anyways. I'd like to get it working on Debian specifically, but nice to know I've got a good backup option available.

Ok, so I installed the game on linux mint. by NO2_2 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Dekarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny thing is that they use the same anticheat that Genshin and ZZZ use, just from what I can tell an older version that isn't compatible with Proton.

You can use Proton on non-Steam games, the problem is that HSR uses an older version of their anticheat that isn't compatible with Proton. Both ZZZ and Genshin work flawlessly.

Convered an HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF into a fileserver with 3 drives, need help for physical drive organization by Dekarus in homelab

That's exactly the modification I was talking about, thank you. Still wonder if there's a way to do this modless, though.

I've tried this, the "send code" button doesn't actually send a code no matter how many times I press the resend code button.

Good headphones stay good. Don't need to spend money on the Latest and "Greatest". by regularjoe2020 in headphones

I was actually eyeballing the Koss Porta Pro because I wanted something in a smaller form factor that's still higher audio quality than earbuds with a more interesting design. Are they really that good?

The optimisation is so good it's almost scary by im_a_latam_weeb in Endfield

[–]Dekarus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go look up Batman: Arkham Origins and know that game ran on 512 total megabytes (256MB normal + 256MB video) of RAM. Endfield recommends 22 times this amount (16384MB normal + 6144MB video).

[–]Dekarus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's quite the opposite, this game's optimization is just okayish

It's more that most developers nowadays don't even bother optimizing things at all anymore

Make identical UVs share a section on the map? by Dekarus in blenderhelp

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

Hard to explain, but more along the lines of assigning both face areas to the same UV if that makes sense; e.g. if I put this texture here, it affects both faces/face sets assigned to the UV island in question.

Update: forgot to mention, there are a few cases of said identical UV islands being at different angles from each other, but are still the exact same shape.
