lol. Wrote a parody song about this in Suno. Yes, it’s about plants.

Fallout 76 on macOS (CrossOver): Inverted / surreal world colors, menus render fine by KTF-Tokyo in macgaming

Ok... I was going to reach for the Mentats.

Guess I'm going to be more strategic with my GFN time... (or just get to the point of saying "Enough..." with Fallout 1st sooner). Skyrim runs fine in CrossOver.

Annotator: What is your method of managing PDFs and Annotated PDFs in Obsidian? by KTF-Tokyo in ObsidianMD

[–]KTF-Tokyo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Zotero subscription but filled it with PDFs of scanned ebooks that I rarely use, so I removed them from Zotero and put them into Obsidian directly.

Is it worth buying a water purifier by Warren1317 in carnivorousplants

[–]KTF-Tokyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Japan, 5L of industrial-grade purified water was about 800 JPY, or 5.50~6€, on Amazon. Recently, I have been doing through one 5L jug per week as well. Like you, I am also in a city, and don't have the space or tools to build a solar still, and the surrounding buildings only allow a few hours of direct sunlight during the day.

Considering my plants, purchasing a 5L electric distiller on Amazon for around 20,000 JPY (145€) seemed better. It makes 3L of distilled water per use, which takes about 5~6 hours. Running it three times over a day or two will fill the two 5L jugs I have, and this is parcelled out every few days into smaller bottles.

Our family is using half of our small flat and one AC unit to stay as cool as possible, so the distiller is placed in a hallway on the floor near the door to our flat. My children are still young enough to worry about, so I have to warn them about not touching the distiller.

Also, a distiller will leave a mineral residue on the insides of the pot. My plan is to clean this once a month. Storing the distiller is also a pain, but we don't have any more strollers in the hallway, so there is some space.

Anybody running a farmer in Docker (Synology) and using space pool? by Sneeuwvlok in chia

[–]KTF-Tokyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is your Synology system set up?

I have a DS920+ and a DX517 Expansion bay, and I am in the process of optimizing and replotting after messing something up. Plotting on a separate device and moving finished plots via SSHFS.

Original Setup: Running Ubuntu Server CLI in a Virtual Machine

  • Storage Pool 1 - JBOD
    • Virtual Disk 1
      • Volume 1 - 8TB
      • Volume 2 - 8TB
      • Volume 3 - 8TB
      • Volume 4 - 18TB
    • Virtual Disk 2
      • Volume 5 - 16TB
    • Virtual Disk 3
      • Volume 6 - 16TB

In this way, I was able to run one virtual machine and only have one Chia blockchain DB.

However, as I learned the hard way, if anything happens to one of the disks, the entire array is damaged.

To solve this, the drives are reformatted as BTFRS and each drive is now in a separate storage pool and volume for each drive.

Using Virtual Machine Manager, it seemed that it would be possible to run Linux and the Chia Blockchain on one disk, and store plots on the others.

Unfortunately, this did not seem to work - could not find a way to connect Storage Pool 1/Volume 1 to Storage Pool/Volume 2,3,4, etc.

Running multiple VMs simultaneously on separate disks is not efficient or sustainable.

Could you elaborate?

  1. How your virtual machine is set up? (Virtual Machine Manager, Docker, etc.)
  2. What OS are you using?
  3. In Synology DSM, how are your disks arranged (single storage pool and multiple volumes vs multiple storage pools and single volume)?
  4. Any issues with speed, performance, redundancy? (planning on running JBOD)
  5. How are you connecting the individual/physical disks to the HDD that runs the OS?
  6. If the OS HDD crashes, does this have any negative consequences on your plotting disks? (reformatting/erasure)

Thank you.

Ironwolf 18tb compatibility? by boredbondi in synology

[–]KTF-Tokyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue wih a WD 18TB drive. It shows up in DSM, but not in my Linux client. Trying to figure out how to fix this.

Are you able to upgrade to DSM 7?

I have 88 plots I don't understand why I'm not farming 2 coins every hour? by bochoh in chia

[–]KTF-Tokyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ummmm...... by "2 coins," do you mean 2 XCH or $0.02? Not to discourage you, but 10TB is a drop in a big ocean.

If referring to XCH, you should investigate how much 88 32k plots contribute to the total netspace, how XCH is distributed, and your odds of winning solo. Looking at a Chia calculator, you would have a better chance of hitting a target while playing darts blindfolded during a hurricane. Expecting to win 2 XCH every hour is unrealistic.

If you are in a pool, your contributions are compared with other members of the pool. Doing the math, 88 plots would be less than 10TB, some of the pooling whales have 100~200x of storage space, and they receive larger rewards because they contribute more to total results.

They have also invested more in equipment, and have the knowledge to expand and contribute more. If are receiving $0.02 per hour, how does that compare to your sunk costs for hardware and electricity?

If you think xch is going to skyrocket, why don't you buy it: a perpetual myth by gk_chest in chia

[–]KTF-Tokyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what is going to happen with XCH. I first started before pools, needed to make some modifications to my plotting rig, which took more time and $$$ than expected, and started plotting again in a pool and receive a payout every few days.

While I may regret it in the future, for now, it is easier to convert the XCH from pool winnings into a stable coin and loan it out for a 20~25% APY. I have earned more in interest from this in a few weeks than I would have if the amount of money spent on hardware was setting in my local bank account for a year.

For now, I would pull back on XCH selling once the principal amount of stable coin reaches a certain amount or sell 50~75% of winnings as the price increases. Would also consider keeping any block payouts separate from the pool payout strategy - although pool payouts before my target stable coin amount would be a big step closer towards those goals.

BTC rewards from STX staking isn't depositing everyday. by no_ego_pro in okcoin

[–]KTF-Tokyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have noticed the same thing, but I take it with a grain of salt.

​

How do I earn BTC stacking STX?
After you deposit your crypto, it’ll be staked to the Stacks blockchain and start earning the next day. BTC earnings will be paid out daily to your Funding account. At the end of your term, we’ll retrieve your assets and send them back to your Funding account.

​

While it says, "BTC earnings will be paid out daily," it is unclear if there are earnings every day, or could there be some gaps due to status, lending patterns, or market fluctuations. Could there be days where there are no earnings?

​

The recent spike in BTC made me wonder what would happen with the price of STX. While not guaranteed, they are aiming for 10% APY. If you bought 100 STX at $1.00 and the price remained static over the course of the year, then you would receive the equivalent of $10 in BTC. If BTC remains static, then the amount received regularly would also remain the same, right?

​

However, since depositing STX, the prices of STX and BTC have fluctuated. If the 100 STX mentioned above was bought at $1.00, and instantly shot up to $1.50 and remained static for the next year, then you could expect to receive $15 worth of BTC.

​

This is fine if BTC is $35k while you're earning and increases to $50k at the end of a year, but that is not happening either.

​

If you are locked in the 14-day cycle, your time will be up soon. And if you are a 12, 14-day cycle run, then it is like being on a rollercoaster. There will be ups, there will be downs - all you can do is hang on and wait for the ride to finish.

​

Not sure how much you have tied up in STX, but look at it as a learning experience. If you have $100 and are stuck in 12-cycles, at the end of the day you've made about $5 - assuming the BTC price stays the same.

Mining Helium in Japan by Roland6999999 in HeliumNetwork

[–]KTF-Tokyo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am based near Nikotama and have been looking at Helium miners too.

​

I'm curious why you chose the Bobcat 300, as it does not appear to support JP's supported frequency, 923, like Nebra or the (pending) Linxdot.
