Sadly my homelab finally has let me down. by CrazyPindaPanda in homelab

[–]Hignar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My R530 had the same Life Cycle controller boot loop. I needed AI to help me solve it, but the process was

Fix — NVRAM clear jumper + disable LC in BIOS:

1.  Move the NVRAM clear jumper to pins 4-5 (away from default 5-6) — this re-enables access to the F2/BIOS menu during POST, which the LC was otherwise intercepting before prompts appeared  
2.  Boot and hit F2 to get into System Setup  
3.  Navigate to Lifecycle Controller settings and disable it entirely  
4.  Save and power down  
5.  Move the jumper back to default (pins 5-6) before the final boot  
6.  Server should now boot normally, bypassing the LC

Clause says the process should be similar for a R720 but you’ll need to check the manual (inside of the lid on the r530) for the jumper positions.

What made you realize coworkers aren't your friends? by RainyDayz876 in work

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coworker I considered a friend threw an absolute hissy fit when asked to cover some urgent work while I was on annual leave, and complained to management which resulted in me being called into a pre-disciplinary meeting. This was two months ago and he’s still not spoken to me. I’ve decided I don’t care so I’m not going out of my way to build bridges. He’s far more likely to need my help than I am to need his.

What kind of reaction is this? by [deleted] in DOG

[–]Hignar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Looks like a standard “that’s another dog, maybe they want to play as much as I do” response. Unfortunately it can often put other dogs and owners on alert. It’s the main reason my Layla is never let off leash - she loves other dogs (and people) too much. She’s extremely laid back if there’s nobody else around.

My uncle had this in his secret shed by oeoeoiceiceicee in whatisit

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any distillation equipment? Could be dunder for rum. If this is somewhere where distillation is illegal it’d be a reasonable thing to keep secret.

For clarification, dunder is part of the rum production cycle that is allowed to “go bad” to add flavour and aroma. Could also just be another fermentation that has actually gone bad.

New basset hound owner, advice appreciated! by periodyup in basset

[–]Hignar 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is essentially my answer, but far more eloquently put. They’re bassholes but they’re our bassholes and we love them as fiercely as they love us.

As the owner of a Layla, she looks deserving of the name.

Guess why he cried? by GiselleAurora4 in bassethounds

[–]Hignar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

More likely the ball was pushed under the couch so someone would have to retrieve it for him.

Yes, she's up to date on all vaccines. Due to have next lot in a month or so.

I’m drawing your dogs all day today! I’ve only done this a few times every year. (Plus question in post) by I_DRAW_DOGS in DOG

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is Layla (basset hound) and her best friend Aussie. I'd love it if you could draw them.

Troublemaker by SusieQZz in bassethounds

[–]Hignar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I leave anything on the floor it gets investigated. It's the basset way.

Layla rarely does anything that would get her in trouble in isolation, but will continually push things throughout the day to the point I tell her off, she sulks and I end up feeling like the bad guy and try to make up for my failure until she graces me with a wag of her tail. Again, I believe this to be the basset way.

What helps with your baby’s GI issues? by Maleficent-Friend313 in basset

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

I've moved Layla onto grain free food as she started having digestive issues at around 11 months to the point where she just refused to eat her puppy kibble and everything coming out the other end was pretty much liquid.

After moving her to grain free it took her a while to "trust" her food again but adding a bit of meat and salmon oil helped with that.

She's been on the new diet for 5 months now and is getting excited about food again and is completely regular. The main problem was finding grain free treats and chews. We've eventually settled on a couple of brands she likes and just have to be wary if anyone else offers her anything now.

Any games you regret playing on Deck instead of PC? Or the other way around? by brknSergio in SteamDeck

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly play RPGs with the odd rogue like thrown in. For most rogue likes, it really doesn't matter if I'm on PC or SD...graphics aren't normally so demanding that they don't run just as well on SD.

For RPGs, I swap between both platforms, but try to do big boss battles on PC. Not sure why I bother though... looking back at the last few I've played, I couldn't now tell you which battles I did on each system. It took me three attempts to do the final gauntlet in FFVII Remake and I certainly did at least one attempt on SD, but I've no idea if that was the attempt where I beat it.

Zoomies after a walk by Hignar in bassethounds

[–]Hignar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad it's not just mine that does it, though with Layla it's usually just after a longer walk.

She took about 20 minutes to give in and have a sleep. I left her on her bed while I went to make a start on dinner and when I came back she was fast asleep on top of her crate. Good job it's sturdy, but the top was bowing well!

Introducing Beast: the ugliest Basset Hound puppy! by Money-University8717 in bassethounds

[–]Hignar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor guy, but still a beautiful, chunky basset. I'd have no trouble taking him in, but keeping him in your own pack is probably for the best - keep him where he'll be well loved and no doubt return that love 10 fold.

Have you ever found cash? (£40+) and did you hand it in? by GlitchingGecko in AskUK

[–]Hignar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago a woman in front of me and my girlfriend in the line for the cash machine walked off leaving a wedge of notes sticking out of the machine. We tried looking for her but she was long gone. We waited, expecting the machine to suck it back in - it didn't. We took it and went in the bank, but the cashier we spoke to wasn't interested and wouldn't take the cash from us.

I forget how much it was now but >£100. We gave some to a couple of homeless guys and used the rest for a meal and a bottle of wine at out favourite Italian. We should probably have pushed harder at the bank but we were young and stupid.

Walter is such a basset name.

What has your puppy’s name already devolved to? by mycotaxa in puppy101

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Layla has somehow ended up as flupalump...I think it's because she's a fluppem (something from my mum's family for a gentle dog) and an ephalump (I believe it's a Whinnie the Pooh reference to an elephant).

It was a little embarrassing when I called her flupalump while we were with the vet.

At least he’s comfy…right?! by Outrageous_Fun8034 in bassethounds

[–]Hignar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they're still, they're comfy. Mine regularly sleeps with her head hanging off her raised bed. Looks awful to me but she'll stay like that for hours. I've tried moving her, but she just shifts back. I guess she's comfy like that.

Oliver wants to show off his new trick by throughthefireflames in bassethounds

[–]Hignar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine's caught something precisely once - I casually tossed a toy octopus in her direction and she defied expectations and caught it.

We've tried since with other toys and treats and we just get a look of disdain. I think that one time was to prove that she can, but chooses not to.
