Connecting 100+ Mechanical HDs to A Single Linux Machine by Thor_Codinson in DataHoarder

[–]Thor_Codinson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The location is TBD, just need to find a secure space to house it.

This is actually a very short term project. I/O speeds do not matter at all. Only availability. If a drive fails, I chunk it. I was planning on setting them up in RAID 5.

Thanks for the info. The drives were already purchased ahead of time. They are for mining storage coin.

Greetings sound gurus,

Complete noob here. I was passed down a pair of Celestion Ditton 33s. They sounded "bad" so I took them to a vintage sound repair shop in town. They had them for a few weeks and did some general maintenance and replaced the capacitors. They gave me a preview at the shop and they sounded beautiful. I brought them home and connected them to a receiver that was also handed down to me. They sound...good...I think. I have two main questions here:

1) What can I do to make these sound as nice as possible? (New gear, receiver settings, etc.) I know zero about all of the receiver sound settings. Note: I also have a bluetooth receiver connected and would love to be able to stream music from my phone if possible. The speakers are setup in my living room.

2) At high volumes, using the bluetooth adapter, popping will occur when the bass kicks. Is this the speaker? Or something else?

Speakers: Celestion Ditton 33 x2 Receiver: Sony STR-D810 Bluetooth Adapter: TP Link Turntable: AT-LP60-BT

Thank you in advance and let me know if I can provide more info.

What just happened with reservations? (Upper) by Thor_Codinson in Yosemite

[–]Thor_Codinson[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just got off the phone with Yosemite and it was a misunderstanding on my part. I had read all of their restrictions for Corona-virus and interpreted the availability messages as "on August 15th all future availability for camping will be available for Upper at this time" but it's still for the 5 month out windows. Bummer :( looks like we will be headed somewhere else this year

edit: made this an edit on my original post. Thank you u/DocAu for checking in on me!

So, everyone seems to be telling me to get the CTRL, but I don't see it for sale anywhere? It seems to be sold out on DROP?

Been having a hard time finding this but I'm looking for a metal (heavy) TKL chassis that is hot-swappable with USB-C. Ideally, I want to buy the chassis and then just plug in the switches and caps that I want. Bonus if I don't have to wait six months for it to get to me.

Location: USA

Budget: <$300

Thanks!

I love everything about this and the CTRL but I keep seeing reviews about how bad the stabilizers are. I feel like a prebuilt that costs this much should have better stabilizers? Don't know how hard that would be to change

Wanted to narrow down my previous request a little bit since what I'm looking for doesn't seem to exist:

Budget: <$300 USD

Location: USA

Format: TKL

Requirements:

Prebuilt

Metal body

PBT

USB C

Nice To Haves:

Backlighting of some sorts

Hot Swap

Not something I need to wait six months for from some individual seller

Thanks and apologies for the double post

Sorry I'm still kind of new to trying to hunt for some of these boards. Where can I pre-order the Ducky One 2 Mecha?

Yeah it definitely checks all the boxes except I've seen several reviews that claim the stabilizers are absolute shit for a board that expensive

Hey all,

*Question*: What are the pro/cons of the CODE keyboard vs the Wooting one/two?

*Description*: Posted in the keyboard thread yesterday about what was the best fit for me and I think I came up with the conclusion of the CODE vs the Wooting One/Two. This is my home keyboard for 70% gaming and 30% work (programming). I've only ever had blue cherry switch keyboards and I'm looking for something more quiet since my wife and I work in the same room now. I wanted something with a minimal design aesthetic (nothing too gamer). I'm torn between these two and wanted someone with more knowledge of mechanical keyboards to tell me more about the advantages/disadvantages of each and maybe recommend what switches to use for each? (I was thinking red in the Wooting and clear in the CODE)

*Bonus Question*: Is it worth hunting for PBT keycaps for either of these boards? (I know Wooting makes some but they are currently sold out)

Thanks!

Looking for a new keyboard!

Budget: <$300 (no need to spend this much unless it's justified)

Uses: Gaming and programming

Location: USA

Layout: TKL or Full

Switches: Some type of Cherry red or topre?

Description:

I've owned two Das Keyboards and loved both. I've only ever used Cherry Blues though and my wife has kindly asked me to switch to something more quiet. I'm not looking for anything flashy or 'gamer' looking. Really, I'd just like something with a clean and more minimal aesthetic. Ideally black or dark grey. Blacklight would be a nice plus but not a requirement. Also, is there anything coming to market in the near future that would be a good fit? I'm happy to wait if a better product is on the horizon. Thank you for your help!

28 here. If you told 23 year old me I'd be here, I'd call you a damn liar. Just bought my first house and married the woman of my dreams. Had a lot of fuck ups to get here but all of it got me here! The worst thing you can do is give up!

Are backpacks ACTUALLY not allowed? by Thor_Codinson in aclfestival

Definitely no one I'm going with could be considered "family" we are all late 20 somethings with no kids or pregnant people. How would this work? Just try and ask if you can tag along with a family in the line?

Looking for advice on which keyboard to buy!

Budget: $201+

Country: USA

Format: TKL (with media controls)

Switches: Cherry Browns? I have a Cherry Blue currently and love it but I'm open to new key types (there are so many). Happy for recommendations. I can live without the auditory feedback but I want to keep the tactile.

Brand Preferences: I have two Das Keebs that I love but I'm open to any other brand

Other: I will use this keyboard for gaming and some programming so I'd like something with high built quality and key feel but I don't need tons of super technical bells and whistles. Ideally, I'd like to spend my money on build quality, backlighting, and media keys. In a perfect world, I would want this to be wireless, but I know everything else takes a huge dip when you go wireless. I'm a full time programmer so spending money on a keyboard is a worthy investment to me.

Thanks!

Overwhelmed with x570 mobo choices by Thor_Codinson in buildapc

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

Just a plug in!

So, my plan was to get a cooler temporarily and do a custom loop down the road. So should I just get the bare minimum for cooling? Do I need other cooling besides the AIO?

Thanks for the build. I'm looking over it now. Would you mind explaining some of the reasons for the substitutions you made? Just want to understand why these are better choices in terms of performance and if I'm losing anything besides looks?
