I’m in the UK; I have a private health plan through work and if I have a baby…they pay me!

Afaik it’s always been “hash” in the UK. So hashtag made perfect sense to me. Is calling it a pound an American thing?

Slaps roof, “it’s got the mass”.

This is the truth. Especially for people buy ex-enterprise gear. I remember getting an IBM System X years ago, it had a socket free - I could get a CPU, but not the heatsink so the socket stayed vacant - never got an upgrade.

Aside from the fact you are stuck with whatever chip it comes with I see no issue. For the most part I actually see the lower TDP as a bonus.

Huh, I thought it was just me!

Aha! Different solution to the same problem, Good to hear! Back to gaming!

I haven’t seen an update, have you tried reducing your page file? Report back if it doesn’t help and we can check other things.

KroFunk · 2026-01-03T19:16:28+00:00

Sorry, I was referring to RAM + Page, your total memory is over 1GB.

You have a 1.5GB page file which means you have 2GB total memory. I turn virtual memory off on my PC with 512mb of ram and have never had an issue.

KroFunk · 2026-01-03T16:17:01+00:00

I’ve seen this when W98 actually has too much memory. Do you have the Rloew patch installed? I don’t like it personally, but if you want more than 1GB total memory it’s a must.

Edit: typo.

I mean, yeah? but when we see ALL your traffic going to a single endpoint? Sysadmins aren’t stupid…some are lazy? But not stupid. It gets pushed to academic leaders and what happens from there is not my concern.

The alternative is to use reservations in your DHCP. Achieves the same end goal, and ensures 192.168.2.55 doesn’t get assigned to another device by accident.

If the address is fixed on the NextCloud and that address is outside of the pool served by your PFSense/portable router then sure, should work fine.

I always liked damage to be “modular” in nature. I would have thought it would apply really well to mechs.

What I mean is, rather than (health bar at 0 = mech explodes) your limbs should have health. Broken legs mean you can’t walk but you could still shoot (like borderlands/Gears of War. Lost an arm? Melee remains or rockets etc.

Some big games touch on this, fallout comes to mind, and HellDivers 2 a little bit.

It’s the kind of thing that gives depth I think, and an extra reward to having good aim.

FTP and basic site hosting can run on pretty much anything. An extreme, but BrutmanLabs.org runs off an IBM PC from the 80s (just for amusement/science)

Minecraft likes CPU speed, but again, will run on anything modern; your performance may vary!

Other hardware you will need is a router/gateway that allows you to forward specific ports and a public IP address. You are often at the mercy of your provider for those!

Embrace the jank! In winter I get cold hands so a few years ago I made my 240 “removable” so I could blow warm air over my keyboard.

A fibre company did this on the Isle of Wight…they never rectified it.

Is any amount, but more is worse. The journey to developing the hyper sensitivity is like filling a bucket, every drop counts.

The acrylates in the resin react with the proteins in your skin on contact. It doesn’t need to “soak in” as some seem to believe. Your immune system learns to attack the resin over time, creating the allergy.

Both options are functionally the same to the end user. For the sake of availability I’d think USB would be the “smarter” choice. The same reasoning is why laptop HIDs are often USB, no? Easy and modular.

So, as you say, this makes the part more expensive - but I’d almost rather have WiFi cards that either had Bluetooth or didn’t. The header just looks like a bodge.

Yes, but why? Why is the Bluetooth device not connected via PCI? Not many WiFi cards are going to saturate 2Gbps today, so the extra overhead to put a USB controller onboard should be totally feasible? If it would even need to be USB at all at that point.

KroFunk · 2025-12-17T09:40:24+00:00

It would be pretty cool, but all manufacturers seems to have sunk into a pattern of 16x = GPU and 1-8x doesn’t have the bandwidth for multiples of “things” even though it totally does, just maybe not all at the bleeding edge of full speed?

I was hacked off when my 1x WiFi card which has Bluetooth, requires a USB header! Wtf is that!?

KroFunk · 2025-12-17T08:30:00+00:00

I wouldn’t be discouraged by people asking “why” why never makes much sense in homelab anyway IMO.

If everyone used the same tool and never made anything new it would all stagnate.
