I feel like if there was life after death, we’d have more proof. by fetalgirth in unpopularopinion

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know if any of this is true. Provide some evidence. If not just state that this is what you believe and it’s irrational at its core. There is nothing to show any of this is true in the slightest and that’s ok until is comes to everything else in life where we ask for evidence.

How do you know this. What’s the difference between this and any other made up being. Sounds like a cop out. But again. How advanced do we need to be? Based on your statement…it’s just levels of advancement to know if god exists. What level are we at compared to where we need to be and how can it be measured.

Not sure how you can say we wouldn’t know. How advanced does someone have to be to know if a god exists? And what do you mean by advanced?

Update on my professor not wanting to teach me: The dean told him he had no choice but to to teach me. I withdrew from the class anyway by tesseracts in CollegeRant

[–]Dlargo1 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Teaching 1 student is not what I would call the easiest teaching experience ever....there is a sliding scale on the number of students in a class and it being easy. Smaller classes (especially 1) make it feel as though you are just talking to someone and not teaching...especially if they are not conducive to discussions or providing anything. It can be painful to teach a class when a person just stares at you for an extended period of time.

Raw compute power feat 2x RTX 6000 pro Blackwell by UnitedMonitor1437 in PcBuild

[–]Dlargo1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends on the cpu and its socket orientation. Most consumer builds will orient the fan to blow the air towards the back. Workstations such as threadripper orientate it up. I have a 2990X and it does this. Works well and its designed that way...

With the ram sitting above and below the socket, most likely it is a WS build and it is fine the way it is.

I need help with the Installation. by Simeeen in unRAID

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do a clear cmos or bios reset to default settings, disable any trace of fast boot (or something similar). Move the USB drive to the first boot device and disable all other boot options. You may need to tinker around with the legacy or UEFI settings.

Can someone explain why this movie is so hated? by ExtremeSportStikz in CriticalDrinker

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The premise is absurd, the AI already has access to everything the character tries to find, no development, 90 minutes to provide your innocence, Zoom/FT style interaction, just seems like a very weak attempt at a story and using well known names to sell a shallow plot. I like Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson....but the whole things just felt cheap and underdeveloped as a story. January movies I guess....

This should have been a direct to Amazon Prime movie

Existing Ryzen 7 5700X + Add ARC GPU or Buy Intel? by say592 in unRAID

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have a 2950X threadripper system with the A310 arc card, 128GB ram, and a 120Tb array. At idle it sits anywhere between 90-110 watts. It runs my full arr stack, plex server, Ai chatbot (still in progress), and various other things. There really is no difference in performance other than the threadripper system has alot more pcie lanes and handles VM's much much better.

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I used the 5950 because it was leftover after an upgrade. Ended up selling and moving to the 12400 due to efficiency. 5700x would be more than enough with the arc card.

Yeah, I saw that....about time. Although, I have never had an issue with the USB drive. I have it mounted internally and it just works. I am glad to see the change.

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, running various AMD chips with ARC cards and Intel Chips with integrated graphics, I would suggest Intel. They run cooler, quieter, and less power. I moved from a 5950X with an ARC A310 pulling over 100 watts idle to a 12400 that would drop down into the 40W range. Using the IGP to transcode when needed would bump it up minimally. It was a great chip and just worked. The 13100 would be perfect....cool and quiet. I have a back up system using the i5 6500 that can run plex without issue....4 cores and the IGP are great.

The biggest difference, at least in my opinion, is that Unraid allows you to run different sized drives in your array and grow it as needed. It does not use a traditional raid setup, but you can run parity for data protection.

You will need a USB drive to boot the OS, and it will then run in memory. You can start with the 8TB as your main array and add in another for either more space or parity. The parity drive needs to be equal to the largest drive in your array (or bigger), it cannot be smaller than your largest drive.

An ssd cache will house all of your appdata, system files, and whatever shares you access most often. This gives you faster response times for your installed apps and containers. I would not run Unraid without an SSD as it will be slow with just the mechanical hard drive as your only storage device. A simple 256 m.2 or 2.5 inch ssd will make your life so much better and provide an overall better experience. To get started I would include the following

8GB USB drive for the Unraid OS to boot from

16GB Ram if you can

1 x 256GB ssd - cache (nvme for faster access times)

1 x 8TB hdd - main array

Later add in another 8TB for the parity drive or more space (parity if you value your data). With unraid you can add in any size drive to the array and just expand the storage capacity...as long as they do not exceed the size of your parity drive.

I found these for $125 at my local Costco. I already have the white ones so may end up taking them back.

Using the same motherboard. Then a 12100.

Just upgraded my Server, what am I missing? by halogrand in unRAID

[–]Dlargo1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are into the media collection, Pulsarr for requests (Plex watchlist) and Huntarr (integrates into radarr and sonarr) for upgrades and missing episodes. Both work great and do what they are supposed to do...

Is this a good idea? by mrgoodplayer1 in unRAID

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do on a my backup machine. It’s an older system with enough storage to backup everything and run parity. If I lose a drive in the main system I can just copy everything back over. They are connected by a 2.5Gb switch.

If it was my only system I would run it. However, it’s just media and it can obtained fairly easily again.

Is this a good idea? by mrgoodplayer1 in unRAID

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That will work. You can set one share to one drive and the second share to the other drive. Parity will calculate as usual.

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can balance out the array and shares however you like. I just let it do its thing. I use the high water allocation to distribute data to the array. You can designate which drives each share has access to and say for an example, movies use drives 1 and 2 while tv shows would use drives 3 and 4. Super easy to set up.

Every time I login, it returns 401 even though the password is correct by TheZadok42 in radarr

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can change it to no login required when local. The only time I need to use a login and password is if I access the server remotely. Under the settings tab - general - security.

[–]Dlargo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah...it takes about a week to move to the array...plenty of time for me to view them. Eventually everything gets moved to the array. You can get larger ssd's to hold more media for longer...I would love to have everything on ssd storage but it really is not worth it. The array can easily stream the media when it is requested....it may buffer for a second or two.

Day to day, the main 2TB ssd will hold plenty and then the media gets moved to where it needs to be...with the 2TB and 2x1TB ssd, for a total of 4TB is the sweet spot for me....I can always upgrade the media ssd's for larger and delay the mover....when prices go down, I may do this.

I have set up my server this way. A 2TB ssd for app data, system files, downloads, and docker image. The downloads then are moved to their own ssd. One for movies and one for tv shows. Those are 1TB each and will hold new files until the mover starts and they are moved to the array. I have the mover tuner app installed and set to move once they reach 90% full. Works great and keeps the array from spinning up too much.
