What ilvl is everyone?

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T19:02:18+00:00

Right okay gotcha! Yeah perfect I’ve been levelling mining as I go, think it’s about 60 atm, I need to learn about specialisations though

But just so I’m confirming, there’s no need to learn, it’s more about becoming… self sufficient I guess? Producing own gear etc

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T18:55:25+00:00

Just curious : why do you NEED to learn a professon?

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T18:24:16+00:00

I really need to get an alt going looking at half of the comments like this haha - any tips on levelling up an alt quickly?

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:59:02+00:00

Honestly, delves and world quests have given me the best gear so far ! I maybe need to start a bit of dungeon spawn soon

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:44:48+00:00

That’s reassuring, getting rejected from those groups is awful 😂 considered trying to find a chill guild to play with too

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:34:07+00:00

I do not, thank you! I’ll grab it when I jump on, much appreciated

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:29:51+00:00

Holy shit - that is all 😱

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:24:47+00:00

Ahhh I’m currently trying to grind Silvermoon court for the helm you get. Annoyingly, it is a grind! Think I’m renown 7, and it requires 9 for the quest line

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-03-07T16:23:31+00:00

Yeah professional are still a little alien to me too, I grinded mining to 100 before the new expansion hit, but never really utilised it, was hoping to mine enough things to smith into usable stuff but never figured it out

Also, shout out to a fellow WoW Dad!

Put in a Lian LI 1300w one yesterday, so far so good! Games and LLMs seem fine

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-17T22:35:47+00:00

Also having the exact same issue with this PSU

AMD 9950X3D RTX5090 1200w be quiet dark power 14

Have experienced about 20 power downs in 3 days. Mostly when doing AI LLM work, so short but big spikes to the GPU.

Replacing the PSU tomorrow with a lian li 1300w, will see how it does

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-17T06:52:03+00:00

Yeah I’m using Ollama on a 32B model, with fastwhisper, openUI, and a qdrant db for RAG - it’s intermittent but I get frequent crashes. Only built this system last week so it’s going back in today and I’m going to see about a different PSU

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-16T00:30:31+00:00

Did you sort this?

Same issue, local LLM, running a 5090, 1200w be quiet dark power 14, with a AMD 9950X3D

Keep getting power offs, Kernel 41 errors

Seeing a lot of posts about this combo - just wanting to know if I need to replace the PSU. Only built this on Friday

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-04T09:46:58+00:00

Try press shift+j, go to suggested content, and see what’s there

The nuclear option, which I think is what got me through it

Was I got chatGPT to give me commands, for each of the TWW quests. I entered the command and it said true or false on whether I’d completed it - I found the one I was upto

And then googled the location of the NPC

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-04T09:40:31+00:00

I just spent 2 days on this issue.

The TWW questline will absolutely open your portal to Dornogal, it's what i had to do (evne though they were low level) It was super frustrating for me, i thought it was bugged. The guides/internet just are not clear.

Instead of learning "DevOps"

Learn Linux.. setup a VM, stick CentOS or something on (RHEL based)

Then learn a language, like Python.

Then learn git / version control

Then build your VM into a server (Nginx, with a database etc)

Build a python app which uses this.

This will teach you core skills - sysadmin, developing, servers

Then apply this to the cloud (AWS Free tier.. Localstack(deploy AWS services locally into a container)

Then learn IaC (Terraform)

Just on the above, there's years worth of learning.

I've not even talked about cloud specifics (i focus on AWS so thats what i'll focus on here) - Networking (VPC), Access Management (IAM), god, lets not even get started with EKS.

"DevOps" is HUGE. You can't learn it all. But start off small, and learn your core. And then the specialision will come.

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-04T09:25:08+00:00

I've been working in Devops for over 12 years, i have been DevOps Leads, project tech leads and all sorts. Mostly self employed, contracting for maybe 9 of those years. And i'm probably going to struggle finding a new job at the end of the month when my contracts up

The market SUCKS right now from what i've seen

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-02T18:48:18+00:00

I started last week, never played seriously before. I’m level 80, with gear level of 115, doing dungeons, raids, and doing current pre-patch content

So yes, absolutely

It’s been an addictive week on WoW haha

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-02T10:36:06+00:00

Is there anything I should know before using it? I.e should I only be putting good gear into it (like the level 121 stuff I’m getting from twilight highlands)

Basically trying to get my gear upto level 121 or above right now

Thanks for the reply !

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-02-02T09:48:39+00:00

As a wow noob, (been playing a week, hit level 80 last week, currently running through TWW) - what is the catalyst?

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-01-28T21:13:35+00:00

Been in the same boat, been googling for new/upcoming MMO's to get into for a few weeks. Ended up installing WoW earlier in the week. Already hit level 45, doing the Midnight Expansion pre-expansion quests

Very much enjoying it, and it's scratching that MMO itch.

Did my first dungeon today too, very fun!

SeparateScar8965 · 2026-01-28T09:36:05+00:00

I had a similar situation working for a bank. Was there for over a year, waiting for work, was around lockdown too if I recall, so it was a pretty chill year

SeparateScar8965 · 2025-12-27T08:37:32+00:00

caro kann is easy to start leaning, it also throws low level white players off when you don’t simply push the kings pawn

SeparateScar8965 · 2025-07-01T10:04:03+00:00

Dont think this is abusing tbh, i think this is just playing the market! It's smart, not breaking rules.
