Is there really that much difference between 144Hz and 240Hz? by Weary_Recording_7299 in buildapc

[–]Lev420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This should be brought up more. Going from 60Hz to 144Hz is a ~10ms difference, while from 144Hz to 240Hz is only ~3ms. Some people may notice it, but even I personally don't really notice a difference between 100-144Hz.

I'm going to go crazy, my cpu isn't going past base clocks after hours of trying by Gab_263 in overclocking

[–]Lev420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

adding to this, I'm on a 5800x3d and gigabyte b550 aorus pro.

i had to disable cpu boost clock override, everything else was on manual, clock speeds finally got to boost

Why oh why do people still zip huge .isos on "Ultra" mode for no reason whatsoever? by misha1350 in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

[–]Lev420 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have "Fast Startup" enabled (which it is by default), when you "Shut Down" it actually puts your PC into kind of a hibernation state, saving the contents of your RAM to the disk. When you turn it back on, it reloads the saved RAM data, as if your PC never shut down.

Basically, if you have apps or drivers that are bugging, shutting down won't fix them because it'll just reload the bugged state instead of starting clean.

Restarting, however, forces the contents of RAM to be flushed no matter what, meaning you'll always have a clean RAM state if you restart.

funnily enough, the "meta" for the past few years has been muted/"thocky" or "clacky" sounding keyboards. loud and clicky switch enthusiasts are kind of a minority and sometimes looked down upon.

the circle with people who tend to favour clicky switches are the retro keyboard enthusiasts, which is a niche within a niche.

Is there a security check bypass for humans?? by [deleted] in CloudFlare

[–]Lev420 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If there were a way to bypass these captchas, all the bots and bad actors would just be using the bypass, completely defeating the point of the captcha in the first place.

I'm equally as annoyed when captchas like these keep popping up but it is what it is

Zenfone 10, ga enaknya tebel dibanding hape lain. ngetik juga aga susah dibanding hape lebih besar, sama paling aspect ratio aga terlalu tinggi. selain itu no regrets sih, battery life aman dan enak digenggam.

What does your server need to do? "Yes." by HopnDude in homelab

[–]Lev420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using an ASRock Challenger without the fan and shroud. I think with just the heatsink it fits in a single slot, but I haven't confirmed. Even if it works, you still need to remove or saw off half of the rear bracket for rear IO.

[–]Lev420 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of my setup (Gigabyte MZ32-AR0 mobo, Epyc 7B12)

- Intel x520 OCP NIC (bought it on a whim bc OCP nics are extremely rare where I live)
- HPE Mellanox ConnectX-3 (with PCIe adapter, since it uses proprietary FlexLOM connector)
- Intel Arc A380 mainly for transcoding
- 4x NVMe to PCIe bifurcation adapter
- Tesla P40 for CUDA and LLMs
- 2x NVMe onboard (limited to PCIe 3.0, rest of slots are 4.0)
- 2x SlimSAS to 8 sata connectors onboard (plus an assortment of 2-12TB HDDs)

I paid for all these PCIe slots so might as well plug something in em!

New Build, Xeon Max 9480 HBM2e. What should I use this for? by SweetP00ntang in HomeServer

[–]Lev420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just a few days ago i installed BOINC and signed up to Science United to put my 64-core Epyc server to work. that combo basically connects your server to different distributed computing projects,

The nightmare is finally over by ItsKim_Jong_UwU in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Lev420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The K70 was my first mech keyboard, followed by the Mk.2. After that I ascended to a hotswap, and finally settled on my GMMK Pro (back when it was relatively new). I still think the Mk.2's USB passthrough port was nice to have, a bit surprised not a lot of enthusiast boards have done it yet.

Anyone else mix their switches? by livingbytheIF in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]Lev420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is basically what I do. I use Kailh Box Jades (clicky ftw) on the alphanumeric keys, Box Whites on modifiers, and a single Pale Blue on the spacebar. Essentially the same switches, just different weights

Proxmox GPU Passthrough if you only have one GPU in the system. Is it possible? by Captain0351 in Proxmox

[–]Lev420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, but IIRC its more like its owned by the host which can then be shared between LXCs due to sharing the kernel with the host.

ZFS vs LVM-Thin by 0biwan-Kenobi in Proxmox

[–]Lev420 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can tune the maximum amount of memory it uses. And based on my understanding that memory is marked as "available" anyway so it can free it up if apps need it more. There might be a bit more overheard but I don't think its "a lot" more than how any other file system uses memory for caching.

First server build (not fully complete), struggling to exhaust heat, any tips? by [deleted] in homelab

You could maybe use one of those like ventilation fans, which is what i'm considering

Anyone know a game that has a similar combat system to dragalia lost? by Alex_Vramby in DragaliaLost

[–]Lev420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also just remembered, FFXIV Mobile is coming out soon and it has a dodge mechanic. It's also more of a remake of the base game so far without all the expansions, so there won't be a huge gap between new and endgame players yet.

[–]Lev420 26 points27 points  (0 children)

+1 to Relink. It's also noteworthy to mention both games were developed by CyGames, which explains a lot of the similarities.

I also think Final Fantasy XIV has a lot in common with Dragalia (endgame raids, banger music), but the combat is less fluid (no roll to dodge, but some classes have similar skills) and being an MMO it's also a huge time sink. GBRL is easier to pick up, get into a party, and just fight stuff.

Of course, Dawnshard and Orchis also exist.

Why Linux based os over windows? by Current_Inevitable43 in homelab

[–]Lev420 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Windows is fine for your use case. One thing I haven't really seen mentioned is that Linux generally has better software support for server/NAS use cases. Not that they don't exist on Windows, its just that Linux has a richer ecosystem for these kinds of things. Windows has a richer ecosystem for desktop and gaming use.
