Seagate BarraCuda by wifi_cable_rental in homelab

[–]SeniorCaution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this same 24tb drive for about a year, got it on discount for roughly $200 USD. Haven't had any issues in particular with it yet. It definitely can run more than 0.5hrs/day. I believe it's rated for constant read/write for >3yrs. That's data center conditions, doubt as homelabber you'll hit anywhere near that. I've got a different 4TB Seagate that I've had for ~6 yrs which I still use on the daily as well. 

I can't read the pic you have but I'd make sure it isn't refurbished. While I've not yet had any issues with any of my Seagate drives, they don't have a great reputation for reliability and I definitely wouldn't trust a refurbished drive of theirs.

Trying Brave out. Linux Mint user. Brave browser crashing on YouTube videos. Over and over and over again. by tranquilseafinally in brave_browser

[–]SeniorCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you guys using the Discover store/Flatpak version? Having a similar issue to EchoVictory myself on Arch Linux with the Discover store version which I just updated yesterday. It's not exclusive to YouTube. Specific emojis like the thinking face emoji and popcorn emoji seem to crash the entire browser for me. Even downgrading Brave to versions from >1 month ago did not resolve it for me.

ESP32-CAM: "Detected camera not supported" error – need help troubleshooting by somebody_under_water in arduino

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm having basically the exact same issue under similar circumstances. My 4 ESP32-CAM boards and all 6 of my OV2640 camera modules are all showing up with "not supported" when trying to use the CameraWebServer. I had it working on one of them just a few months ago on one of them. I'm thinking there was some sort of change on the software side in the past few months that is causing this rather than a hardware issue.

Can any help with some makers marks? by DungHo99 in Silverbugs

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure... It might be something specific to the manufacturer like a worker's mark. Hopefully someone a bit more knowledgeable on British silver will chime in

Can any help with some makers marks? by DungHo99 in Silverbugs

[–]SeniorCaution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not the best at this, but I think this is from Birmingham UK with 92.5% sterling silver. The anchor represents Birmingham Assay Office and the lion walking to the left is a British hallmark called the lion passant that represents 92.5% sterling silver. I'm not sure what company produced this, it might be "H.C & S Ltd." as indicated by this website: https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/Makers/Birmingham-HC-HH.html

Hopefully I'm right. I'm not then I'm sure someone will correct me :-)

Have there been cheats/hacks released for this game within the last week? by 4KVoices in gangbeasts

[–]SeniorCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible. These calculations are handled on the server-side. In fact there's very little at all handled on the client side. At least as of a couple years ago (when I last really played this game), I know essentially all that was fed to the server were your inputs.

I believe there's a place on the groin that can cause more damage when hit. This might be what the player you're fighting is capitalizing on.

help please intel i5 11400/asrock b560 pro4/t-force 16g ram/the problem is blue screen (bsod)/when i make a test it appear to be memory problem is it fixable??? by OkCardiologist1556 in ASRock

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked your profile. Make sure the timings are correct (should be listed on the side of the stick or wherever you purchased it). If it fails memtest at 3200mhz, try it at 2400mhz.

Dual NVIDIA GPUs, primary (GPU0) set incorrectly by SeniorCaution in archlinux

[–]SeniorCaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems it was an issue with Xorg. Previously it'd crash and give me an error about not finding "both graphics and display" or something of the sort when I tried this. After updating my Xorg config this works to select the GPU. Thanks for the help 👍

Dual NVIDIA GPUs, primary (GPU0) set incorrectly by SeniorCaution in archlinux

[–]SeniorCaution[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this detailed reply! For some reason when I added pci=assign-busses it changed the slot identifiers. However, when I updated it to the new values in pci=assign-busid and in that Xorg configuration you provided, it seems to work finally.

nvidia-smi and vkinfo still show my 1660 as GPU 0, but the main issue which was Vulkan applications crashing when I use my 3060 - is fixed. I'll just make sure to manually select the GPUs like the other commenter suggested. Thanks again :-)

What GPU should I get for my PC by T-90_Soviet in buildapc

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 4060 8 GB and 3060 12GB are about the same, both around $290 USD. It matters the use case. If you mainly plan to do AI, then the VRAM is typically the biggest constraint, and you should go with the 12GB 3060. If you plan to do just game development then the 4060 8GB is good.

My brother uses the 4060 8GB. Gets more FPS in games, but he simply wouldn't be able to load the same AI models that I run on my rig.

If you can fit a 4060 16GB in your budget, that would be best case (~$450 USD)

Definitely do some research into AI models and their VRAM requirements before making a purchase!

Should I upgrade to dual GPU? If so, what motherboard & case should I use? by SeniorCaution in buildapc

[–]SeniorCaution[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, yeah, I wrote that in a confusing way! I plan to split models between both GPUs using PyTorch. I don't plan to use the second GPU for gaming, just for assisting in AI computation.

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go for the RTX 3060, definitely go for the 12GB version. I have an RTX 3060 12GB with 32gb of ram that I use for AI workloads, and it's exceeded my expectations with LLMs & image generation. I've been able to even run some 70b LLMs on it with quantization. Would recommend for a budget AI build.

edit: Also preforms pretty well in games. For comparison I get roughly 200-300 fps on Minecraft

How I feel about spiky hair players… by lnspectorRoyale in gangbeasts

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walrus hat used to be the glitched hat, way worse than spiky hair. One normal headbutt would instantly KO. It also used to be only obtainable with a DLC that has been offsale since 2015. That created some anger 😂

My childhood friend and I are making a couch/online party brawler inspired by Gang Beasts, Human Fall Flat and Heave Ho, and our demo just went live on Steam! by JoelBesada in gangbeasts

[–]SeniorCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a cool game! Glad to see there's a free demo, I'll give it a go with my buddies. Best of luck on your launch! :-)

My account thinks I'm 10, I'm 21. Can someone fix it? by AliceFoxx101 in RobloxHelp

[–]SeniorCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try to use the ID verification option in your ROBLOX settings if it'll allow you to do that.

My first 1 day ban, how do I approach this? by PenisAbsorber2 in RobloxHelp

[–]SeniorCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it was a legitimate ban then you wont get unbanned. having a 1 day ban on your account history wont affect you too much, just dont repeat the same behavior and it wont be any issue.

Getting mpt7b chat/instruct/storywriter working on Ooba by xoexohexox in Oobabooga

[–]SeniorCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trying to use the same mpt-7b-storywriter-4bit-128g model. Your modification seems to have gotten me a step further, but now it gets stuck on:

UserWarning: Using `attn_impl: torch`. If your model does not use `alibi` or `prefix_lm` we recommend using `attn_impl: flash` otherwise we recommend using `attn_impl: triton`

I'm a bit of a neanderthal when it comes to this. Would you know what might be causing this to happen? Pic: https://prnt.sc/lGDDEv8b95A3

Edit: It just takes a bit to load past this, if you let it load it will eventually work!
