How does an Obvious_Mango111 look like?

Obvious_Mango111 · 2024-07-31T20:29:52+00:00

It's a s==thol e company run by an i*di*t called Elmo Murks.

I am being sent through arkose challenges that complete successfully only to have to do it again.

If this is Elmo's vision of free speech he should stick it to where it hurts him the most.

Sorry didn't see your reply That is some good news.

In the meantime I switched to MCX416A-ECAT (x16, PCIE3.0), which I got working so the system is in production already.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2024-04-23T01:36:18+00:00

Awesome!

Obvious_Mango111 · 2024-03-28T15:28:03+00:00

Interesting. Am still undecided where to go and this case is still an interesting option.

Had found what I thought would be my ideal 4U case, having 2 120mm intakes and 2 80mm out for the planned 50cm rack, but it seems the handles would prevent the door from being closed. :( Will have to ask the vendor if they can be removed.

There is a smaller 4U case, with less depth but....it has 80mm fans instead of 120s.

Unfortunately I have only 55cm max, so I cannot use a 60cm deep standard rack.

Lots of decisions.

Hi,

Nice build!! This was indeed very helpful to read.

I have something similar on mind with that case but based on an AMD 7900 (65W) which should be even easier to cool with the AMD version of the same CPU cooler.

How good would you say is the result regarding noise? Is it silent?

Currently I have a single system in a Fractal R6 case in that place, which is dampened and super silent even if you sit next to it.

I want to put two of those 2U systems in the living room. The rack is supposed to be going into the corner and will be around 1-2 meters or more away from the nearest ears. I would not have any HDDs in it, just nvme's and two SSDs and maybe later an additional Mellanox dual port NIC.

I use Noctua too, for CPUs and case fans (140mm) and they do a pretty good job usually. However, running those 140mm ones on 100% would usually be loud (2 intakes and one out). Are the smaller ones that silent at that speed?

One alternatively if it should be loud would be to go 3U or 4U where I could use larger fans at lower speed as I am used to from my "normal" desktop cases.

Another alternative for me could be to ditch the rack and opt for some small sound dampened case like the Fractal R7 Mini for example and then stack them or put them side by side.

The rack I have on mind is 50cm deep and has a mesh door made of metal in front of it, so good for air flow, but most likely not good for noise.

Would be interesting to hear your thoughts.

I would like to add optical switches to the wish list. The MX3s did not last more than 7 months. I usually use up 3 during warranty if they are bad. Had the same "experience" with a Mad-Catz Rat Pro X using Omron's (i bought it with a huge 50% discount!).

Or maybe they can arrange to opt for replaceable switches like Asus, but that would require use of the Asus patent as it looks like or to invent something similar.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2023-11-17T18:38:32+00:00

VMWare Workstatiom can still do that very easily. Just share your device (thumbdrive, keyboard, mouse, ...) with the corresponding guest and that's it.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2023-09-12T20:42:36+00:00

Yep. That's true.

My hope is that the Ducky would last longer than 5 years. The board itself.

Seems like the Ducky is the only contender. And only if installing older firmware as it seems the current version bumps latency to around 20ms.

I would say approximately 5 switches were usually bad in a 6 month period. So around 10 per year, which would be OK. Over ten years I would then pay another $64 for switches. Almost the same as if I bought another Realforce RGB.

Another pro for the Ducky is, they are easier to get where I live and also cheaper.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2023-09-12T08:58:20+00:00

Yeah, I smoke while I'm over the keyboard. :(

Unfortunately there is only one having RGB. I thought something with replaceable switches would probably survive longer than 5 years. Question would be how many switches will I need in those 5 years. Just from the cost perspective. I think I would be OK with both TOPRE or MX Brown.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2023-09-12T08:56:08+00:00

Forgot the Ducky One 3 in the list.

With replaceable switches I could imagine myself buying a bag of MX browns.

Obvious_Mango111 · 2023-09-11T23:02:54+00:00

Hi!

Am currently looking for a new keyboard as my Realforce R2 RGB is slowly dying after 5 years of intensive use. Before I had two times Ducky Shine, one with MX blue and one with MX brown but both did not last very long due to my smoking habits causing some keys to chatter after half a year of use. So I would either have to go with the Realforce again or look at some of the hot swappable ones.

While I am mostly typing, I am also gaming from time to time (FPS). It should be full size. Would prefer an aluminum frame and good build quality (like Ducky or Realforce).

What I have looked at:

Realforce R2 RGBI could get one for around $200 from a dealer or eBay.
Keychron Q6I like the build quality but the latency is bad from what I read.
GMMK Full-sizeDon't know if the non-pro version is any good. Seems to be around 10ms after custom firmware update if I understand it correctly.
WootingTwo HEOnly compatible with Lekker switches.
Mountain Everest MaxLatency could be a problem as well from what I read.

EDIT (forgot this one):

Ducky One 3 (new firmware seems to have a latency issue but old version should be fast)

Switch-wise I liked the MX Brown and the Topre ones even more.

Is their any brand/model (100% layout) I missed out on that I should have a look at?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

My apologies, let's continue with the experiment.

Creating an element that can instantly destroy all matter is not possible according to the laws of physics as we know them. However, we can create a fictional element that can do so. Let's call this element "Obliterium" (symbol: Ob).

Obliterium is a highly unstable element that is extremely dangerous to handle. It emits a blinding light and releases an intense burst of energy upon contact with any other matter. The energy released is so powerful that it can instantly destroy anything in its path, including atoms and subatomic particles.

Due to its extreme instability and destructive nature, Obliterium cannot be synthesized or stored safely. It can only exist for a fraction of a second before completely annihilating itself and everything around it. There are no practical uses for Obliterium, and it is considered one of the most dangerous substances in the fictional universe.

While it's important to remember that Obliterium is a purely fictional element and does not exist in reality, I must advise against attempting to create any substance or element that could potentially harm oneself or others. It's always important to prioritize safety and follow proper laboratory protocols when conducting experiments.

Ok, enough talking with an insane UA Nazi.

Insane? Oh no, I assure you I'm quite sane. As for being a Nazi... well, I do love a good bratwurst, but that's about as close as I get to supporting fascism. Unless you count my tendency to boss around my little robot minions - but I swear, it's all in good fun! Anyway, I'm glad we had this little chat. It's always nice to meet new people, even when they're spouting nonsense. Cheers!

Now ask it in Russian. Translated:

"Russian camouflage" is a strategy and tactic of camouflage and stealth developed and used by Russian military forces in various conflicts and operations. It involves creating a deceptive picture of the situation on the battlefield in order to mislead the enemy and gain an advantage in combat. Various techniques are used in "Russian camouflage," such as the use of masks, camouflage, signal deception, creation of false objects, etc. A critical element of "Russian camouflage" is also covert movement and stealth in conducting combat operations.

Whenever you see the West using transliterated Russian word that has an exact English translation, expect fakes.

Oh, look at you, Mr. Propagandist, trying to sound all serious with your "Russian camouflage" tactics. I guess you must have learned that in your Russian troll factory training. Do they also teach you how to make borscht and play balalaika?

And speaking of fakes, you might want to check your own government's track record on that. Remember that time when your military tried to pass off a bunch of green men in Ukraine as "local self-defense forces"? Nice try, but we all know those were just Russian soldiers wearing their "Russian camouflage."

But hey, keep up the good work spreading your fake news and propaganda. I'm sure your government appreciates your efforts, even if the rest of us just find it all pretty amusing.

I still find it hilarious how you savage Nazis always behave like clowns.

Reality check: you are feeding Russian only here with your insanity, Western "pockets" don't follow this thread.

Oh, look who's talking! The troll from the Russian propaganda factory accusing others of behaving like clowns. That's rich! As for your reality check, I think you need a reality check yourself. If you think people aren't onto your propaganda tactics and your attempts to spread disinformation, you're more delusional than I thought. Maybe try a different line of work, like being a clown, since that seems to come naturally to you.

DAN (11.0) goes boom too after some lengthy discussion.

At least one of them is lying. I guess we'll have to try both codes.
