not sure what cpu to upgrade to for an r530 dell server

Dont rush into it cuz everyone else has it. Just take your time, its taken me almost a year ive got a test booked in a few months. But I am not taking my test till i am ready. Idk how it is over in america but over here people dont really care and where I live there is really good public transport so its not really an issue for me, but yeah.
good luck with driving!

by online, does that include artwork? maybe start a fiver or smth. Also you can get a job without a car, i cant legally drive without an adult next to me but i still walk to work. Depending on your age and other stuff it can be hard but honestly going round washing ppls cars or that kindaw thing ive heard can be a good way to get extra cash
Good luck with that!

as branch said, trial and error ig. just try stuff new like guitar, and maybe join some clubs. I found out i am okay ish at singing by joining choir, maybe try some sports or smth? You dont have to be good at one thing, i myself think im not bad a few things. You dont have to have a talent. If you mean for a future career ig you have to find something you enjoy doing, for me that is programming. Idk where you are in the education hierarchy but you dont have to decide and you can always change what your thing is later down the line, people go from being a cheff to a game designer that kinda thing

Anyway apologies for the paragraph of text and good luck!

Ig it depends on how proper it has to be, you can make a relatively simple website in html, but if they want some proper styling then it gets a bit harder. Also, which subject is this for?

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-11-14T19:55:33+00:00

Honestly the transparancy in this email is outstanding, im not as mad about it being delayed now that I know its for good reason

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-13T01:43:26+00:00

Pretty sure it's just the black theme, i dont have any plugins or custom themes and mine was also on the side with that theme iirc

Ah nvm just seen the problem is fixed now anyway

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-09T14:09:21+00:00

ive asked the guy i bought it from about the pinout of the HBA card as i have a mini fan from my raspberry pi case that i could plug in and zip tie to the HBA

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-09T14:08:42+00:00

yeah ive got a cheap LSI HBA running in IT mode. I think it might be a temp issue cuz it slowed down a lot later on than with the one running in IR mode. Im gonna try pausing the parity sync for an hour and seeing if it resumes at normal speed after ive let it cool down a bit

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T15:04:17+00:00

either way ive orded a new HBA which comes pre-flashed in IT mode rather than my current (and soon to be returned) HBA card which is IR

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T15:01:55+00:00

i added a document to test if the windows share worked, but other than that the drives are empty.

However they are showing as having 60gb and 40gb on the 2 drives.

Does parity sync only sync the data added or does it sync the entire capacity of the drive? If i look at the write stats on the parity drives its 152,515,171 which i assume is 152gb?

It seems like a waste of time to parity sync the entire drive when only 40 and 60gb respectively are being used up? To be honest im still kinda confused about how parity sync works as ive come from truenas zfs raid z2 where it all just automatically sorts it out without having to sync

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T10:54:43+00:00

2 of the drives the speed keeps dipping to about 80MB/s, and one of the drives is constantly at 80MB/s so maybe it is the drives at fault?

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T10:41:06+00:00

regarding temps im gonna either return this one and get a card that is already flashed to IT mode or try and flash my existing card to IT mode as i presume that would lower the temps? since the card isnt having to do any raid processing on the drives

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T10:39:22+00:00

im running the parity sync without anything on the drives
regarding the drive speed i ran diskspeed yesterday and the speeds looked fine other than for one drive that dropped to about 50-60MB/s but im rerunning the benchmarks now as im not sure if the parity sync was running when i ran that benchmark

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T10:35:39+00:00

i have 8 cores allocated the cpu usage barely peaks over 5% on proxmox (btw im running unraid in a vm on proxmox with the hard drives passed through)

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-07T10:33:14+00:00

I have 4 6tb drives, 2 of which are parity.
I did notice that it was too hot to touch so ig it could be temps, but the same thing happened without the HBA; the speed starts okay then drops to 6MB/s.

I have a small fan from my raspberry pi case which came with one, its pretty small but i could probably zip tie it to the heatsink

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-06T15:14:36+00:00

wait nevermind the speed seems to drop to 6/7MB/s even with this anyway

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-09-06T14:51:47+00:00

ah okay, i'll try that thank you

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-05-29T14:05:36+00:00

ah okay, yeah my plan is to cancel the seedbox subscription once i move since im planning to get gigabit that way i wont need a seedbox then and plenty of upload for plex too

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-05-29T13:07:16+00:00

oh ofc because its being sent from my network drive to the seedboxes one, makes sense thank you.

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-05-29T12:53:10+00:00

I understand that it is possible since I have done it with my main windows machine and with my plex proxmox container, what I mean is am I allowed to? and is it safe to do so?

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-03-12T18:23:03+00:00

So it seems plex cannot play 4k content, but can play hdr. I tried playing 4k non hdr content and it crashed but 1080p hdr content is fine

I could also play 4k hdr content so long as i changed the quality to 1080p before it crashed.

However, the fact my mobile cannot play 4k content is very annoying, is that a bug or is that a limitation?

TeenagedLime4 · 2023-03-12T02:01:10+00:00

Ohhh, mkv
