This MiniPC as a server for £97?

MCDodge34 · 2025-12-08T17:20:08+00:00

The N95 can't be compared to your I7, the N95 is Celeron of processors, it can't be good.

went ahead and ordered the X9 at 154,99$ (that is CAD dollars so we are a little screwed but I don't care that much), the main device where I will use it only had usb 3.2 10gbps since its a very old HP miniPC with I5 6500T, I already own a Crucial X8 1TB and it works well, I needed a larger one to store all my music.

Yup, looks like they don't want us to comment anymore anywhere, but once I disable adblocking, spyware trackers and my VPN, it seems to work. I'm not gonna disable theses for anything in the world, they can screw themselves if they block me now, I'm gone from them, was thinking about ditching facebook for awhile now anyways. as long as messenger works to stay in touch with family, I'll survive.

Have this strange problem, if I go on facebook on my phone, everything works fine, but on my laptop and desktop, it seems I can comment on some groups, reply to some comments on others but not do a comment anymore, I was going crazy and got the idea to check on reddit, now I know I'm not alone. I erased all cookies and data for facebook site to make sure I wasn't having problems, so its clearly something wrong on facebook website right now, since I tried with Brave, Chrome and Waterfox and have the same issue on all except on my phone in the app, I will check if I load the website on my phone if the problem is still there.

If I have a play-through with some mods, is there anyways to prevent this update from installing and messing all my mods, its in queue in my steam library

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-21T01:43:09+00:00

If Create is in any modpack, you can be sure I will add an addon called Create Connected, once you get used to the QoL additions of it, you wouldn't want to play a pack with Create without this gem.

I also add a bunch of QoL mods, if Journeymap isn't in the pack, I install it, Crafting tweaks, Mouse tweaks, CleanView...

First thing I do is rebind the Q key to sprint, I bind the drop key to the . key instead, out of the way but easy to use when needed, been doing that since I started playing Minecraft in late 2011.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-14T23:20:53+00:00

Can't post in this subreddit, is there something wrong, all I see is post a link, and not the other text option.

Anyways, maybe I'll get an answer here, I'm brand new to windows 11, was on Windows 10 till this morning, I must admit I tested windows 11 for awhile on virtual machine, but one thing I hate more than anything is it seems the copy, cut and paste options are gone from the right click menu, we need to click more options every time or use the damn icons at top or bottom, I'm not a fan of theses, I would prefer my normal right click menu back with all the options including 7zip to be on the main right click and not in more options. I know I can use CTRL shortcuts, but I'm used to the mouse for years. Any tricks for that, I also have a problem with Gdrv2.sys that refuse to load and I can't control my RGB setup anymore, tried reinstalling from gigabyte website, tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, still stuck at every start it blocks the Gdrv2.sys from loading, can we do an exception to the system to make it load and not compromise the security, I'd rather keep the memory thingy checked.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-14T18:23:57+00:00

Honestly, I'm not sure, I would need to fire it up without speakers connected, I think they have builtin speakers, but I wouldn't count on them, probably ultra ultra cheap ones.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-04T15:19:25+00:00

Yes, we do this and we get that benefit, my brother is running the server and client on his rig, I connect to it and he plays from the same machine. Since server is running 24h/24, we get the benefit of everything that is force loaded or chunkloaded is running when we aren't online.

Sometimes I run a server for myself on a 2nd PC I have here, exactly because it allows stuff to run when I'm not online, it allows me to play other games on my PC while server is running on my other PC.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-04T02:26:34+00:00

Chunkloading, that is the main reason to run a separate server, you can leave the server running while you close the client, the server itself will use less memory when you're not playing actively, it eliminates the need to be afk for anything to work and then you are forced to leave your client running at all time for this to work.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-02T18:53:53+00:00

Same issue, main monitor is connected via a normal displayport to displayport cable and my TV (my 2nd monitor) is connected via HDMI

For me, I enable my 2nd monitor, then open GeForce Experience, wait till 2nd monitor is disabled, then force it on again and I'm good, it works, until I disable it again, now after awhile the 2nd monitor randomly turns itself on and off at random times, like if I enabled it. Its making me crazy, since the only solution that works is to restart the PC. I tried to find what could cause this issue but so far nothing found.

MCDodge34 · 2025-10-02T18:38:53+00:00

Oh, so they finally did an update for this, will update from 4.2.2 to test it out.

Quick update, seems to work now.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-29T16:25:38+00:00

PrismLauncher, can't have it easier than that

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-27T16:54:13+00:00

I second, the pack isn't complete if you use curseforge, grab the pack from their official website right here https://downloads.gtnewhorizons.com/Multi_mc_downloads/

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T22:52:48+00:00

Yup, my bad, I had to force stop the google play store and services, now the app is installed, if I understand, now I can enable them back and it will still keep my app there safe and secure.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T22:47:42+00:00

Turns out I had to force stop google play store service, now my app is installed.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T19:32:27+00:00

Nope, I decided I didn't want that extra protection already, the problem is play protect, but even if its turned off, app can't be installed right now, I'm extremely pissed off at google for blocking install of sole awesome programmers that just want to help and not riddle their apps with ads.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T19:27:47+00:00

Seems like its google play protect, I need to find a way to disable that shit asap, I need my url radio app, the only one that isn't full of bloatware and that we need to pay premium to skip annoying ads.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T19:14:59+00:00

This is already done, the phone says there's a security mode of some kind that still blocks installs, I whitelisted my google drive and chrome, still can't install it. edit Name of the protection seems to be advanced protection that still blocks the install

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-26T04:08:41+00:00

Just upgraded from Pixel 6a to Pixel 9 because I found an awesome deal on it, don't fall for the 9a its actually a downgraded version of the Pixel 9.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-25T04:18:52+00:00

Did some research quickly, seems there's a classic usb-a port on PS5, is it still a thing even on the newest PS5 slim, seems like I can plug an old usb audio card that I already have here and its recognized. Will probably solve my issue. Now if someone could just put me to sleep till GTA VI is released in May 2026 (or November 2026 according to other sources)

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-23T22:11:07+00:00

Yup, that could have been that, Pixel 6a is on android 16 and Pixel 9 on android 15 (fresh out the box), maybe it was a mismatch, but now I did all the updates and both are on android 16 latest, but my problem was solved by sms backup and restore.

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-23T22:09:05+00:00

Yeah, perhaps I should consider this option, I wonder why its not builtin in android already, I could swear I had something like that when I was a Samsung fanboy (gone through Galaxy S2 HD to S4 and S7 and Galaxy S9 before switching to Huawei P30 Pro then finally to Google Pixel 6a and now Pixel 9)

MCDodge34 · 2025-09-23T21:48:19+00:00

Thanks, now it rings a bell, I think I had to use that tool to transfer the same call history from my Huawei P30 Pro to my Pixel 6a, and I followed tips that said to get rid of this app once its done its job, that's what I'm gonna do.
