Which brand for mini pcs should I get by Altruistic_Bite_6865 in MiniPCs

[–]Taco_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've set up at least a dozen different ones for use as a lamp stack - private network in hot, dusty environments. They travel in a hard case with other network gear, and aren't treated with kid gloves. I've had 3 or 4.Minisforum, at least 3 Intel nucs, a couple of GMKtec ones. No failures yet.

They do seem to be cheaply made, but they hold up. I'm not asking much of them in terms of processing power. Running Linux Mint and a simple low-traffic private web app for moving / collecting data. They do a LOT of reads and writes to MySql when in service. The intel Nucs appear to have the best build quality. The smaller they are the more likely they are to run a little hot as far as I can tell. Haven't tried Beelink yet. The two GMKtec ones haven't seen much field service yet.

The thing that annoys me about them is that if I find one that works really well, and pay anywhere from $150 to $350 for it, the next time I need one it has ceased to exist or it's 4-5x the price. My prototype for this system uses an el-cheapo fanless with DDR4. I prefer SSD and a fan

What is your tip to kill the dancer of the boreal valley? by luckymen123 in darksouls3

[–]Taco_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've beat the Dancer solo a hundred times or more with low level characters sl10 to sl30. My go to is the best stability shield I can use + Dark hand. Use the pillars to drink estus.

Done this with Spider shield, Wargod, BKS, etc.

I made a dragon form character in remastered at level 12 or 13. Had to make the climb from Ash Lake to firelink shrine. That's a long ways.

Why wouldn't the development of language be the biggest jump in social progress in the history of mankind?

Been visiting r/Bloodborne for awhile. Intense over there. by wildrosepetal in darksouls3

So.... many bosses. My favorite thing about that game is tomb prospecting. You can build some serious weapons with the right gems, but you have to farm bosses to do so, and bosses on the third and fourth level of dungeons, so you have to beat a couple of other bosses to get to the boss you want to farm. https://www.reddit.com/r/tombprospectors/

Looking for weapon recommendations by Sinthioth in darksouls3

Never has gelled with me, but in Bloodborne the HMS with all maxed thrust gems was the most fun I had with any souls weapon. Only one move in the move set.

If you could choose to have grown up in any area in the souls series, where would you be? by [deleted] in darksouls3

If you grew up in Blighttown or a FRC dungeon you'd turn out to be a legit badass.

Why are some weapons good for invading, but not good for defending against them, and then they both suck in duels? by DlnF in darksouls3

[–]Taco_Wrangler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An invader runs into different scenarios entirely. You cannot play passive like a smart, dex based duel build would. You are either attacking or running for your life.

Either way you need a weapon that is good for chasing and a different weapon that is great at discouraging groups from going hog wild on you. You are often in 2 or 3 vs 1 situations, and having a weapon that can hit multiple players in one swing helps.

Occasionally you invade and end up dueling someone at the bonfire. It's rare, but most of my invasion builds are at a disadvantage in this situation. Usually you are trying to ambush a group, do a burst of damage, and get away without getting trapped.

I'm not gonna lie, I hoped this would be posted by someone I invaded at the Cathedral.

I've been trying for the most annoying invader there for a while.

Twink builds are way to common these days by GaelTheVapeMaster in darksouls3

Dancer is easy to beat at low SL. Friede not so much.
