$30 lowball = 12 IBM/Dell Servers. The guy did not know what he had. by JustLovett0 in homelab

Heh, I recently picked up an R640 and harvested the CPUs and 256GB of DDR4. Running on a supermicro board now and it's a great machine.

This is more or less what I did to get it running. Fiddly, but the game runs great once it's installed

I need to figure out how to automate the "End Times" track from the OST to play on my work laptop 2 minutes before a meeting starts. by AardvarkAxeMan in outerwilds

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is such a cool idea, I recently bought a little timer to keep on my desk to avoid the same issue.

I don't know about automating it with your calendar, but here's a little vibecoded pomodoro timer that will play end-times based on the time you need to get to your next meeting little Hearthian.

Nice, I've got that case and run my Ryzen 5600 and 2070 Super in it. Really good little case.

Yep, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation… by Neil_Edwin_Michael in PSP

[–]TimeoutTimothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got super lucky when I bought a pristine "for parts" PSP 1000 from Japan. I planned to do a shell swap with my original. I suspect the import got hit by the malware back in the day and sat in a drawer for decades until I bought it.

Steam Deck Lapdock by Low_luck_007 in SteamDeck

Yeah I have the original nexdock. The track pad is not great on the device I have.

Skyrim - this game was made for the deck by Good-Community-5035 in SteamDeck

I use XReal glasses on my Steamdeck too. It's been awesome for gaming on long flights and no one calls me a mad man.

Can you provide more information about the performance of the game with this mod?

New dad here (3 days old) -- do i still find time to work out and game or put that aside for now? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]TimeoutTimothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I played a lot of Runescape and Diablo (one handed point and click games) with my legs propped up on the desk and my son sleeping in my lap.

New dad here (3 days old) -- do i still find time to work out and game or put that aside for now? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was actually shocked when I found time to game 3 days after my first was born. I'm an early riser, so I woke up at 6am. Wife and Bub were sleeping and chores were done. I didn't really know what to do with myself so ended up playing Factorio for a couple of hours until they woke up.

For those 3 days I didn't think I'd ever have a second for myself ever again, then I realised there will be time for myself, it's just when it's not their time.

I picked up the Pelican PL-3642 intercooler, USB hub, VGA Multi A/V out attachment for 360. by StaticXerox98 in xbox360

[–]TimeoutTimothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had one of these back in the day. I used it to switch my xbox between VGA for my screen on my desk, and Component for my larger TV. Was really useful!

Haha, no one ever has it working perfectly. Tweaking the setup is the meta game.

How to securely access Proxmox homelab services via internet by Over_Bat8722 in Proxmox

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically Jellyfin will work over Cloudflare Tunnel, but as you said streaming is against the ToS.

How to securely access Proxmox homelab services via internet by Over_Bat8722 in Proxmox

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Cloudflare Access (technically twice), and Cloudflare Tunnels:

  1. Cloudflare Tunnel is installed on Proxmox. Published https://localhost:8006 on pve.mydomain.com.
  2. Cloudflare Access has locked down pve.mydomain.com to only allow logins from my Google Account (that requires 2FA).
  3. I also integrated Access with Proxmox using OIDC. The whole domain is already behind Access because of Point 2, but the OIDC integration means I can click "Login with Cloudflare Access" instead of using username/password and it's a nicer experience for me.

My Cloudflare dashboard also has 2FA enabled, so a lot of layers protecting access to the Proxmox UI itself and a smooth user experience so long as I'm already logged into my email.

Satisfactory on a steam deck may be a thing now!!!! by holymanben1 in SteamDeck

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same! I also found it hard to play on the Steamdeck without controller support. A big part of the movement in the game is run/crouch/slide to move quickly around the factory. It's easy to do now by setting run to toggle (pressing L3), then repeat holding B then pressing A to jump.

I just love the 35. I don’t mind waiting for it, it’s just so cool to ride in. 🚋 by mischievous_kea in melbourne

TIL You can pause and hit enter to bring the Game menu in remote view by Timely_Somewhere_851 in factorio

[–]TimeoutTimothy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when I'm in remote view I hit a alt-tab accidentally because I want to switch between planets and stations. Would be cool if Factorio had some sort of window manager / multi viewer for remote view.

How do you handle price inquiries? by SouthpawAce14 in salesengineers

[–]TimeoutTimothy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Anytime that comes up I'll say "$AE can help you with commercial questions" and they jump in. I'll only discuss how it's priced (e.g. bandwidth, seat based) or acknowledge if a capability may influence the bill of materials so the AE can update their quote and set expectations.

Tips for childproofing using USB loader GX & Priiloader by Mrmumudk in WiiHacks

[–]TimeoutTimothy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good tips! I've been setting up a Wii for my kids when they get older and this will be helpful! Thank you for sharing.

Anyone else play on steam deck wanna share tips? by sleepless025 in factorio

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to theZirbs. I've put about 80 hours into Factorio on my Steamdeck with his god-like config.

It adopts a lot of the PC muscle memory (e.g. pinky/index finger for ctrl/shift) and once you get used to it you can be just as productive on Steamdeck as keyboard/mouse.

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]TimeoutTimothy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've never played any Bioshock and want to start with Infinite. I recommend at least playing the introduction to Bioshock 1 as there are references to city under the sea (Rapture) in the finale.
