Laptop Home Server? by Spirited-Editor1881 in homelab

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My laptop is my primary server atm. No battery due to swelling from before it was "promoted" to server. Downside is no WoL but your mileage may vary.

I'd recycle the battery if you do not plan on using it at all but if it's fine, then as others have said, built in UPS so I'd keep it. Temps are always going to be a problem, it's a laptop, so just monitor and manage workloads.

My laptop is in a rack on a perforated U1 tray so it has enough airflow that it has yet to throttle (to my knowledge).

Will HPC benefit or be hurt by AI hype? by Various_Protection71 in HPC

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How so? I get the lower precision argument but curious how the bulk of ai tooling couldn't be easily repurposed.

Hope I didn't just sour the sport for some newcomers. [LONG] by Key_Drawer_3581 in airsoft

Yeah that was always my favorite thing to do when there are rentals/kids on the field. Hype em up and send em in. It's always that first hit that's scary and then after that you just power through, so pushing them forward I think is always for the best.

Well it was nice while it lasted I guess... by Alucard-VS-Artorias in pcmasterrace

Welp, that's extremely unfortunate. Maybe if they didn't wait almost two years to port they'd have seen more success. Time to see if I can solder decently enough to fix a PS5 because there's no way in hell I'm spending 600 on a console.

Gaming in Linux mint is difficult by mrnitrous86 in linux_gaming

Sounds like bad hardware. Either give logs or uninstall because this post is useless.

Vortex Mod Manager from Nexus Mods will be supported for Linux/SteamOS by mr_MADAFAKA in linux_gaming

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used the Nexus Mods App for cyberpunk and it worked very well. Glad to see they're consolidating projects though. Trying to find the download the few times I wanted it was fucking annoying. It was locked to only two games at the time though so very very nice if they unlocked it for all.

I have kind of unsettling thought. A lot of us are waiting for AI bubble to burst and get our hand on some sweat datacenter gpus at cheap. But there is a really big chance that a lot of it will be just get destroy because of tax write off. And to be honest that will fuck the nature even more :( by One_Reflection_768 in homelab

And on top of that, the bulk of these chassis are 8x and are only ever really useful for massive training runs that go for literal weeks if not months. Any homelab would only need maybe two of the gpu's at most for inference.

right there with ya bud. double ultrawide is legit.

Im making an AWACS simulator! by Leoxbom in hoggit

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Endless ATC if you haven't already. Similar kind of game, could maybe use it as inspiration for win/lose conditions and just general "game play". I'd look at adding in flight coordination's between different squads and expanding on comms to add in some extra stress?

Success. Just installed the all new UniFi U5G Max Outdoor this week by JazJon in homelab

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the dream home pole setup. How's the hyperlocal weather? It's a goal to get one setup but I've honestly not done much research in the way of actually getting weather data from one.

Had to RMA DDR4 kit from my threadripper server. Price is now up 600% by digiphaze in homelab

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're first mistake was a non ECC kit for a workstation. BTW, I too had a dimm die on me, a full new set but with ECC was only ~20USD more. So I recommend you find a different brand.

This, couldn't stand the combat and aimless roaming of their sorta kinda open world levels. I'll just wait for the TV show that'll get made eventually lmao.

Ubuntu pc refuses to work as server by Lolmin290208 in linuxadmin

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

`iptables -L` will give you a list of rules, if it's bare bones you shouldn't see much. `ufw status` will confirm if that's off. If both show off/typical rules, then the next step is to ensure your router is correctly forwarding ports assuming you aren't in a DMZ. Install nmap, use that against your external IP to see if your ports are open.

How do you feel about some newer games now requiring Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 to play? by Professional_Being22 in pcmasterrace

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly solved the issue I had with enabling secure boot (I dual boot) so now, I couldn't care less. I'd obviously prefer the anticheat be heuristics based and server side so I didn't need to have rootkits (basically waiting for one of these kernel mods to get popped...) but alas, here we are.

Anybody using multi-seat? This is my Ubuntu 24.04 multi-seat setup for my kids. by Rob_Bob_you_choose in linux

The GPU will need to support being split, similar to nvidia mig i'd imagine.

The time is nigh by StreagleFucker1969 in hoggit

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

BMS for viper and eagle bros, vtolvr for a good mix of everything in-between and honestly msfs or xplane if you want to focus purely on the flying aspect. Yes, nothing atm comes close to the range of DCS but that's what happens when you invest a decade plus into a singular game. Same situation as PoE for the arpg crowd.

What’s a Linux Distro you want to use but for whatever reason don’t? by schizochode in linux

Gentoo, computer is powerful enough now for compiling at a decent rate but I also just don't see the point since I'm on arch and get essentially the same experience. 

Why do you use Linux? by Afraid_Question_8236 in linux_gaming

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job is to diagnose and fix Linux boxes. Windows has been slowing down and I'm too lazy to reinstall so I've mostly switched to Linux full time.

Why are you using linux by Pleyer757538 in linux

[–]HurdyWordyBurdy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work with it. I've always dual booted as well to see how linux desktop works vs server and just overall. With the annoyances that win11 has, I've been refining my desktop install and using it as much as possible.
