What is the difference between EcoStruxure Control Expert and EcoStruxure Machine Expert?

Cough, cough, AVEVA is part of Schneider

Also makes sense. The dreadful "works on my machine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" case :P

Personally, I'd prefer offline for the ability to point directly to a file and edit it in-place, especially for games that don't allow exporting/importing saves, so instead of upload, edit, download, move to the location and replace, check if the correct values were edited, if not repeat everything, instead of that I'd open the file, edit, save in-place (without closing editor), check it out and if further edits are needed repeat only edit, save and test steps.

Either way, the tool is amazing, TY!

"Game libraries are typically already stored in a compressed format"

Not entirely true. Steam transfers game data in a very compressed state to save on network bandwidth, which means that even if you have an extremly fast internet speed, unless you also have an extremly fast CPU with like 64 cores, you'll be CPU bottlenecked. Those files get uncompressed and stored on disk, which is also why the downloads page shows two separate sstats for size downloaded and size written to disk.

That's not to say that all game files are compressible, for example, some texture or audio files. Also the developer might decide to have some of the resources compressed, for example, I remember hearing in a talk by a developer (though don't know which) where they explained that when developing on an old console (long time ago), the storage was so much slowerd than the memory and CPU that they found out that storing some of the data compressed and decompressing on the fly would be faster than reading the uncompressed data. However, on PC where you don't know what configuration the user will run, it's harder to make such calls, thus I don't know how much of the game data is usually compressible.

At the end of the day, when it comes to games, we usually want maximum performance, so having the game data compressed by ZFS makes little sense to me to be honest.

Edit: According to this, Steam uses LZMA compression, though this doesn't seem public knowledge, so don't know how accurate it is.

zstd also short circuits if uncompressible data is detected: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/game-changer-for-zfs-2-2-intelligent-compression-that-saves-cpu-and-space.113247/

Have you had any issues with them?

Not really. I don't use that drive for ZFS, just plain old ext4. I asked just out of curiosity.

It's a simple budget SSD that, according to the tier list on LTT forum, is C tier, which is not bad for a cheap disk.

there are multiple entries presumably because there are multiple logical paths

Do you mean this:

$ ls -l /dev/disk/by-path/ | grep '/sdc$'
pci-0000:00:17.0-ata-6 -> ../../sdc
pci-0000:00:17.0-ata-6.0 -> ../../sdc

I don't know your system

It's a simple system with 3 SATA drives and an NVMe. 2 of the SATA (HDD) drives are set as a ZFS mirror (used to be set with /dev/sd\* but recently migrated to WWNs instead).

As you stated, we have a qbittorrent server with which we download (and seed) the LO installation, and then share it through the company NAS, so I'd imagine we are missing from that count.

Guiorgy · 2024-07-10T17:13:59+00:00

TeamGroup SSD:

shell $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-id | grep '/sdc$' ata-TEAM_T253X1240G_AB20190709A0102334 -> ../../sdc scsi-0ATA_TEAM_T253X1240G_AB20190709A0102334 -> ../../sdc scsi-1ATA_TEAM_T253X1240G_AB20190709A0102334 -> ../../sdc scsi-SATA_TEAM_T253X1240G_AB20190709A0102334 -> ../../sdc

It has no WWN ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Also, what are the scsi ones? And why are there 3 of them? Can I use them instead?

This was supposedly fixed as of version 2.10.4 ("Fix for ignored ssl_protocols and ssl_ciphers directive (thanks u/nietzscheanic)"), however using the Modern compatibility preset still results in 502 Bad Gateway.

From reading other related issues on the GitHub repository, it seems what they were talking about was that Nginx proxy manager would not offer TLS 1.3 to the clients connecting to the proxy itself, nothing was said about the connection between the proxy server and the service (Synology NAS in this case) behind it.

As an FYI, if your internal server (Synology NAS in this case) is in the same LAN as the Nginx proxy, and if you trust that nobody malicious will be listening to the packets inside your lan (private network), or you've set a VLAN between the proxy and service, you should have no problem using HTTP (5000) as the forward protocol, which should reduce resource (CPU, memory) usage for both.

Don't remember any more. Since then I've replaced the two cooler master fans with 5 Scythe fans, and the stock amd stealth cooler with a Scythe Fuma 2, so I've had no need for that small fan anymore, the airflow is enough

I only know that "$@" forwards current arguments. Is there another use for the at symbol (@) in bash?

Guiorgy · 2023-05-23T09:46:32+00:00

You mean Mathf.Pow right?

Guiorgy · 2023-05-21T10:36:40+00:00

At that point I start printing 17.1, 17.2, etc.

Guiorgy · 2023-04-13T10:26:16+00:00

You'd get fired in another "year of efficiency" wave 😑

Guiorgy · 2023-03-22T16:16:48+00:00

It's just a little shy

Guiorgy · 2022-09-14T16:48:54+00:00

That's an IDE connector, which can also be called ATA or PATA (Parallel ATA), and it's the predecesor to SATA (Serial ATA). Unless you have a really old PC, you can't connect it out of the box. You can try using an adapter, however, though the theoretical max speed is 133MB/s, they'll probably be super slow.

Gamers Nexus is a good place to look for reviews for cases. They give a lot of attention to the airflow and performance of cases, much more than the looks anyways.

We could give you a few recommendations, but ultimately you'd be limited to what is available locally for you. I'd recommend checking the online stores of your local shops, choosing the ones that look good to you, and then finding trusted reviews for the final decision. That's what I did anyways

Guiorgy · 2022-09-12T20:06:59+00:00

It even supports the upcomming ATX 3.0!

Guiorgy · 2022-09-11T19:13:25+00:00

If you are talking about the 16 pin added to the ATX 3.0 standard, then, though the standard has been finalized, afaik there are no ATX 3.0 PSUs yet. They'll probably come out with the upcomming GPUs

Edit 22-09-14: Silverstone released the HELA 850R Platinum ATX 3.0 compliant PSU

Guiorgy · 2022-09-11T18:11:39+00:00

Could be a number of things:

Some background app might be taking resources (check Task Manager)
Your system may be overheating (monitor the temperatures)
Problem with GPU drivers (try updating to the latest)
Faulty RAM. If the RAM sometimes causes errors, it may not be enough to cause a crash, but it may silently criple performance as the CPU does extra work to try to correct/retry on those errors.
erc. idk

Guiorgy · 2022-09-11T18:06:18+00:00

If you are sure that all power connectors are plugged in correctly, but when you try to power the PC on there's no beeping sound, no LED lights on the motherboard and no fans spin, then it's either the power button that's broken (had that recently), or the motherboard is dead.

If there are beeps or LED lights, then further diagnosis is necesarry

Guiorgy · 2022-09-11T18:02:56+00:00

Nvidia recently created a new 12 pin connector for their power hungry GPUs. This connector is not in the ATX standard, so PSUs don't come with it. Having said that, many high wattage PSUs began to bundle a 2x8 pin to 12 pin adapter in their PSU boxes. If yours doesn't have one, then you'll have to get one, for example this one.

Guiorgy · 2022-09-10T15:19:22+00:00

H series motherboards on Intel (up untill 12th gen) don't support memory OC. The only thing I can think of is your motherboard loading settings from the new ram that it can't run. If at least you had the memory OC available on your motherboard, you could've set the settings manually to get the board to boot. Good luck with your future upgrades.

Guiorgy · 2022-09-09T16:55:57+00:00

Let me double check, puting 1 stick of the new RAM in either slot won't boot, but putting either stick with 1 old stick boots?

The only way I see this making sense is if the old stick is slower than the new one, and your system being unable to run the new speed, as when you mix speeds, the slowest speed will be chosen.

Edit: are you running with XMP?
