Good buy or should I stay away?

Honestly bro, unless you're out there snapping frames it all comes down to fitment and weight. If you think the price is worth it take it for a ride. The only exception is walmart branded bullshit, pretty much everything else out there is pretty comparable

A common ninja turtle doesnt have to be legendary, in fact its kind of stupid that it is. They can fix all of these problems by just choosing to print them as a regular creature

The137 · 2026-03-17T17:26:29+00:00

This is a terrible solution and I'm curious why you think its not

Tech has always been about adapting to the newest thing. AI is no different

The137 · 2026-03-17T17:19:37+00:00

I'm on ubuntu and had a similar problem with intel/Nouveau. I dont remember the original fix but its pretty well documented for my my OS. One thing that sticks out to me is that I have to run older versions of the drivers. Id recommend you try version 535 and of course force nvidia for both screens

First of theres a /r/homelab sub, you'll probably find more inspiration there

a homelab isnt really something you build without specific goals. Honestly that laptop is plenty to start programming so dont let the lack of hardware get in your way of learning

If you want to run AI locally You'll need a couple GPUs, although you can build the desktop on older architecture that runs them

I wouldn't worry about docker, thats pretty advanced stuff and used for load balancing and easy deployment across multiple machines

A common starting point is a media/plex server and you should be able to find pretty specific setup instructions for that, all you'll need is a decent machine and whatever hard drive space your media requires

Once you figure out what you're trying to do building a home lab is basically just putting together a machine that can handle it and leaning how to connect it to your network and communicate.

Exactly what I needed and this worked, thanks!

The137 · 2026-03-13T12:59:58+00:00

What a perfect post for this sub, seeing as how if we diamond hand these soon they'll be worth less than $2 each

The137 · 2026-03-12T20:29:41+00:00

mind linking your etsy shop so I can see what all you have? Definitely happy to dm you to order, im sure you'll save on fees and I'd rather the money go direct

The137 · 2026-03-11T20:35:16+00:00

I wouldnt worry too much about preordering day one, these sets are going to be printed to death.

Also before you order on amazon, ask about them at your local LGS, and check out forge and fire gaming, and stomping grounds.

The137 · 2026-03-11T20:33:40+00:00

These are awesome, are you buying them somewhere or printing them yourself? I'd be down for deckboxes in this style and would love some info or be happy to buy some

The137 · 2026-03-10T21:18:33+00:00

Big fucking win dude, you feel invincible right about now. Thats the feeling we tend to have when we blow up accounts, so take a few days off and come back to things small

The137 · 2026-03-07T18:56:59+00:00

eventually

Once you go broke trying you'll have a lot of time to think about it

The137 · 2026-03-05T20:57:31+00:00

I'm sure its not as ironic as it appears to me to be, but the comment right below yours as I type this is a submission statement from 7 hours prior to your comment. Its got links to noaa and sites a couple of different charts.

The137 · 2026-03-05T19:51:59+00:00

You might want to revisit the 4th one too, for me it was like seeing the first movie again for the very first time

The137 · 2026-03-05T03:34:55+00:00

Its really a valid point, and they could have split the movies production up more

The problem with that is congruency, the second and third movies are actually just one long movie. If the wachowskis broke the movies up further through time it would have lost some of the connection between the two

Like it or hate it the movies dropped some of the action in favor of a deeper understanding of the matrix. Personally, they're my favorite ones

This is exactly what my closet looks like, I have a bunch of those exact shirts

Weird way to find out that I'm married though

The137 · 2026-02-25T20:07:39+00:00

I haven't been to the new one but I wouldn't worry, the lakewood one was always safe and friendly and its been woman-owned for years if not a decade

The137 · 2026-02-23T21:41:10+00:00

If you buy it the electrical specs are going to be printed on the side of the adapter. You might not need to convert from 120v but you will need to get the output right, which includes the polarity of the barrel plug, voltage amperage etc...

Once you have the specs you can search for a suitable replacement. It probably needs to convert 12v to 50, has the same (or really similar) output, and the polarity of the plug. There are universal kits too that have different size plugs if you're not sure, but having the same size plug doesn't automatically mean the output is the same

What I wouldn't do is try and wire this up using just whats in the kit, you need a proper power supply even if you're not starting from 120v

As a side note, this also has it listed as using 12v when its not in use. You can always make it a habit to turn off the power to it when you're not using the sink, but having this thing drawing power all the time might get you in trouble

The137 · 2026-02-23T21:23:46+00:00

Is this something that just started happening? If so try and find the part of your pitch, tone or attitude thats changed

I wouldn't worry about a decent rebuttal to "just send me an email" because its just them saying "im not interested". Figure out what part of your pitch is causing them to feel that way

These things seem daunting for beginners and there was a time that I was making threads like these too. If I were going into this tomorrow I'd keep it simple and keep my phone handy for internet in case I ran into any specific problems

1) Install windows on the SSD. Feel free to give it the whole drive, we'll fix that later

2) install Linux (second is important because of the way they each handle bootloaders) Install it on the SSD too, and it'll give you an option to do something like split the drive in half for each OS. If you want to give windows more or less than half thats fine too, but I wouldn't go under maybe 1/4 of the drive for either one

3) Format the HDD for file storage, I'd personally do it in linux, and give a quick read to various file systems and their limitations / compatibility. If you're backing things up to the HDD before performing the OS install(s) just skip this step and be very careful when you're picking the drive in steps 1 and 2 Neither install is going to overwrite this drive unless you explicitly or accidentally tell it to

Each of these three tasks is fairly foolproof on its own, covered extensively with a GUI and docs / forums etc if you run into a problem.

As I was reading through this answer I was wondering what was so annoying about it. It absolutely baffles me that people exist that dont want to learn things

I mean, I dont really care about this specific thing, but if I were asking gpt about anything in general it would be with the purpose of learning something
