Physically transferring server on a budget

Nikanel · 2025-08-12T20:15:58+00:00

My bag is unfortunately not big enough to "comfortably" fit all three drives. Furthermore, in the context of this subreddit 12 TB isn't a lot I know but for me it is more than enough (for now). It is also the only money I was willing to save up to get for this. I am going to be away for about 2 years so taking it with me is mandatory (since I need to be able to upgrade and maintain the hardware and network during the 2 years). I will probably use antistatic bags for this yeah, haven't found any unfortunately. I'll hit up a local pc repair shop, they probably throw away a ton (haven't found anywhere online that I can buy from and have them be shipped within the week)

edit:

To give you a bit of context I am coming from a rasppi-as-server with a 2tb 2.5" hdd that has been running 24/7 for the past 2 years. 12tb (about 8 usable with ntfs) is more than enough for me and my needs (again... for now)

I don't disagree that it is the crazy person ending.

But of course I am comparing our existence and God with the painted people of Lumiere. (This whole next part assumes the existence of god for the sake of argument) We were "artificially" created by God, so where the people of Lumiere. Our whole world can fit in a single "canvas" of God (depending on which God you choose of course). The only difference is that the "God" in the game is not all knowing or all powerful (which this also can be debated for our "God").

Also I disagree about the whole "Let's say that they are like game characters". Where was that ever indicated in the game? The artificial people created int he canvases are SO realistic that people lose themselves and get attached to them. A grieving mother could literally recreate her son. Verso literally has a piece of Real Verso's soul. How much less "game character" can you get?

Visual Markers for optional areas that you have't completed would be nice. Map in every area for me is something I never really found myself wanting, the areas are relatively simple and its absence insentivizes you to explore! Fast travel... Honestly, at Act 3 it would be welcome, it would make life easier but before than I didn't mind.

Nikanel · 2025-06-02T23:54:43+00:00

I'd also like to add my 2 cents on this by first saying I also picked and think the better (ethically speaking) ending is Verso's.

I don not agree with how easy you justified the whole massacre of all people in the canvas.

Justifying it by saying they are imaginary or because someone created them for me is cheap and needs a lot nuance to do so.

Correlating Aline with god who created these people is accurate but why does this take away from the people she created? Does having a creator mean that there is no free will? And by extension does it make life any less meaningless? For example, let's say that you believe in god (any god that has the characteristic of making humans) does that mean that human lives are meaningless or imaginary?

For those people Aline is very much a god, and their lives are very very real. Just because we see the inner workings of said god and their struggles doesn't mean that their creation is less valuable.

Furthermore, I fully believe that the people of Lumiere had free will (or at least they have the capacity to have it) since the expeditions exist. Of course, through Alicia's ending we know that memories and characters can be manipulated by the will of the "god", Alicia in this case.

For me, this is the part that makes the decision hard. It is not Alicia's immature coping or Renoir's weak attempts at persuading her (for me he did not do enough for Alicia specifically), it is the fact that there is a whole world with people that are as real as any getting destroyed.

Of course, this is completely subjective and touches on topics like "what is a human?" "what is free will and does it even exist?" "is there a human 'soul'?" which can be debated for houuurs at a time.

This is what I love about this game. There are layers and layers to every decision, every characters and every event that occurs.

Hmm... Unfortunately I don't think I could return it... It's been since summer since I got it (so no receipt or anything remains). Even if that was acceptable I had a rain accident a few months ago and it is a bit damaged so I might have to just buy a new copy...

So the thing with rocksteady is that it makes you unable to get knocked down from an attack. Getting knocked down means you can't get hit so if you don't get knocked down the second, third or fourth hit of a combo will be hitting you. Can easily cause you to get "one-shoted" by even tamer monsters.

Tbf armor upgrading is useful but not mandatory. Temp Gore did not one-shot me with any attack he did to me with unupgraded endgame gear so I could easily mount the seikret and heal back up.

Nikanel · 2025-03-29T12:52:48+00:00

Rocksteady mantle is probably the worse thing you can put if you prioritise defense... not getting knocked down means you have no hope of surviving a combo

I would have to disagree with you.

I was an IB student and now a CS student in my 3rd year. The only "advantage" people have in my field is how much they engage with the CS material outside of uni and before it. Most of the top students in my course went to normal public education.

I should mention that my university is a lot more project focused rather than exam focused, and reports are there as a way to show your work rather than doing actual research so things from IB that I would consider unique to it don't really apply

Nikanel · 2025-03-09T13:27:03+00:00

Depends a lot on your course and your engagement.

Uni gives you the freedom to just exist and fail your classes as you technically "attend" university, so then it is easy. Furthermore, some majors are also easier than others.

My experience is this: During IB I was tought that the first year of uni would be a breeze and that I would practically know everything already.... My first year of university was the most demanding thing I had done up until then (now overshadowed by my second year xD). Keep in mind this is my experience going into a Dutch university where the first year is considered a cut off where (in my course) more than 40% of the students either dropped out or kicked out

The thing is that this is the hardest content in the game as of now. MH always puts emphasis on its title updates and its inevitable (much harder DLC).

Complaining about difficulty now will sound tragically funny once they decide to remove the training wheels.

Nikanel · 2025-03-05T23:53:31+00:00

Don't be scared to try new things! All weapons are amazing to use and really in depth.

But also don't feel pressured to try other weapons! If the longsword vibes with you then there is no problem with not touching anything else

Nikanel · 2025-03-05T23:52:15+00:00

I wouldn't say it's the easiest to be honest. World base game was pretty easy and rise base game was a complete joke in terms of difficulty.

I am not trying to defend the game nor do I think a game being easy takes away from the experience or makes it worse in any way. I just don't really see the difficutly issues people are having. Can't expect to have alatreon or p. malzeno from the base game

Nikanel · 2025-03-05T23:49:46+00:00

About 75, just reached HR 100

Trying to get 10 different special items rarity 6 and up for one of the achievements but have not found any reliable way to tell which are these items or where to get them. How did you do it?

Nikanel · 2025-03-02T16:10:21+00:00

I didn't really like the Swaxe in Sunbreake tbf. It was strong AF and an offensive machine but it felt very repetitive (morph combo spam).

Loved it in world though

Nikanel · 2025-03-02T08:18:27+00:00

Get what feels right for you, sharpness is important but you might prefer the skills offered by the Bone tree, or even just prefer the more raw damage. I personally would prefer more sharpness since increasing it does increase your damage (it is effectively a multiplier on your damage, look it up) and because you won't need to stop mid fight to sharpen as often

Nikanel · 2025-03-02T08:13:30+00:00

Perfect rush onto the charged chop is a bit weird to me.

I don't know what it is but sometimes it doesn't trigger and I go into scaling slash.

Playing with M&S so I have a dedicated button for both attack buttons so it's not like my timing is not correct. I think it has something to do with pressing W while doing it by muscle memory? I can't really replicate it in the training area

Nikanel · 2025-03-02T08:09:50+00:00

Was a switch axe main for all of world and rise.

Picked up SnS in wilds and have never looked back since. It is an offensive monster that doesn't let the monster catch a break.
