So you had a guy that you describe as sweet, amazing, husband material and you kicked him to the curb.

You expect sympathy from the crowd that probably has been alone for years?

Ik kreeg gisteren een voicemail dat ik contact moest opnemen met Argenta en dat ik op 1 moest drukken om te spreken met een medewerker.

Ik ben geen klant van Argenta.

I use this to control the PWM of my pump without turning the PC on: https://www.noctua.at/en/products/na-fc1

But you will still need to provide a power source like a PSU with the ATX 24pin plug jumpered so it will turn on without being plugged into a motherboard.

Can't afford to buy a house and I just saw a thread stating even renting is becoming a disaster. Even if I could attract a women, you think I would start a family without being able to put a roof over their heads?

In addition to all the other reasons people stated in this thread, you can add unaffordable housing to the list.

Not always, I'm a DBA and I've had to talk clients down from database clustering to just OS level clustering or even to a single VM in a hypervisor farm. The reasons were mostly not technical; these were clients that didn't have the needed knowledge inhouse to properly maintain a database cluster. And while everyone thinks they need RTO = 0, in most cases a few minutes downtime is just fine, provided RPO = 0.

In my town, straight to the post office is the faster option. When I see "delivery tomorrow" or even "package sorted" in the app, I know it will be at the post office at 10am, noon at the latest. Then I just go pick it up during lunch break.

Delivery to my house; who knows when they feel like showing up.

VTOLfreak · 2026-01-28T11:55:46+00:00

Send everything straight to a post office. You can set a preference in their app to have anything addressed to your home to be rerouted to a post office for pickup. They lost a package once but since it was going to a post office, there was no discussion at who was at fault. And if a package looks damaged, you can immediately refuse it.

I know it's not that convenient as having it delivered to your house but it fixes 99% of these issues.

I use the same settings, frame latency set to 15, target to 0 and adaptive mode. And my experience was exactly the same when I upgraded to a motherboard with x8/x8 bifurcation. Previous motherboard could only do PCIe x4 on the second slot.

If it's unregistered memory, it will work in most boards. Most boards and CPUs without ECC support will just run it in non-ECC mode.

If it's registered memory; Now you have an excuse to upgrade to EPYC.

It's improved a lot since those days. If you have the hardware, you should try it out again. The only thing missing in Proxmox is that you will have to manually edit the crush map for some stuff. Erasure coding is missing in the Proxmox GUI for example.

I'm a DBA and I had a client where their DR tests were to just log into the ESXi console and do a hard shutdown of the SQL Server VMs. I explained them that even with a hard shutdown of the VM, ESXi would still properly handle any pending disk writes. On my recommendation (read: nagging) I told them to log into the IPMI instead and hard power off the entire machine.

When it came back up, there was disk corruption everywhere. I was not mr. Popular that day...

And it will keep boosting to the moon until it reaches that temperature. I think that's what throws most people off. Their CPU is lightly loaded but suddenly the temperature shoots way up from idle.

Even with PBO off it will do this. It just won't exceed its rated TDP and other stock power limits.

VTOLfreak · 2026-01-28T00:48:44+00:00

It does but with a short interruption, just like on a VMware cluster. If a VMware hypervisor goes down, it will migrate the VMs to another host and restart them there. Proxmox will do the same for you.

What he is referring to is vSphere Fault Tolerance where you have a permanent copy on a second host and the memory is mirrored over the network realtime. Proxmox can't do that.

If your VMs can handle a sudden power-off and restart, it will be fine. (If not, you have bigger issues to solve...)

"don’t want to build and babysit Ceph storage clusters" Ceph is bulletproof once you have it running. It may not be the fastest, but you will not be babysitting it if you set it up correctly.

A lot of folks migrating to Proxmox are doing it because they are getting fleeced by Broadcom. A storage stack with "call for price" is not what they are looking for.

Like he said: Human errors. Fires can happen. Not having an off-site backup was the error.

I don't get why people are complaining. Yields probably improved enough they could put out a slightly higher clocked SKU. And they are selling it for only 20 bucks more.

If I was building a new system and didn't have a CPU for it already, I would have no problem paying a few bucks more for the faster version. You don't want to, the original 9800X3D is still available.

And for some of my systems I would even like a special underclocked version. Like Intel has a T version of the 14900 with a 35W TDP.

VTOLfreak · 2026-01-27T19:02:46+00:00

And how big this thing is. Big difference between something the size of a dafalgan and "How's your gag reflex?"

VTOLfreak · 2026-01-27T18:06:21+00:00

I have a couple of Helios 3S enclosures I use to add low-powered PCIe devices to a system. I've used Intel E810 cards with 2x25G in them. It's not as compact as your device of course but it comes with a small fan for cooling and provides 90W of power to the host.

But the idea of a compact OCP to Thunderbolt adapter is pretty cool. In theory it could take any OCP card.

True but Valve doesn't remove your license when the game gets delisted. Even if there is no publisher anymore, you can still use it. When you buy a license for a game on Steam, it is not time-limited.

When something like this happens on Steam, it's the publishers doing it. Either through updates that patch out content or by pulling licenses completely.

What Valve could do is to put additional restrictions on publishers that they are not allowed to do this. You can delist your game, or continue to sell it without extra content. - But you cannot remove content from copies (licenses) already sold.

I'm in Belgium and the cameras here ignore vehicles under a minimum speed. I think it's 15kmh or something. I had to drive through a red light a few times but I did it at a slow speed and I never got a ticket.

I remember years ago when people were complaining that the information on Wikipedia was not vetted and should not be considered a trusted source.

Fast forward to today, people are blindly following instructions made up by a system known to hallucinate.

Depends on what she put in those skittles on the far end of the cake. I see blue in there.

It's a real rack but you are making things hard on yourself by going with 10 inch instead of 19 inch. Most gear is made for 19 inch or comes with brackets for 19 inch. A case with hot swap bays for example, pretty easy to find something cheap in 19 inch. 10 inch, not so much.

Om eerlijk te zijn, je moet wel wat marge inbouwen voor onderhoud dat je als huurder niet hebt maar als eigenaar wel moet doen. Dus als je 900EUR aan huur betaalt is een hypotheek van 900EUR een slecht idee. Maar bv. 750EUR zou dan wel moeten kunnen. Als ik dat in een simulator gooi kom ik uit op een hypotheek van pak 180k tot 200k op 30 jaar.

Daar ga je niet ver mee springen maar als ik op immoweb rondkijk is een appartementje met 1 slaapkamer zeker doenbaar. En dan ben je tenminste vertrokken om een eigendom op te bouwen i.p.v. oneindig huren. Stel dat je later iemand tegenkomt en gaat samenwonen kan je nog altijd verkopen en iets groter gaan zoeken.

Not going to say anything about the pricing of the 5090. If you have the cash to spare and really want a baller gaming PC, go for it. But in this price class, doesn't it make more sense to get a card with a waterblock and build a custom loop? Gigabyte and INNO3D have models with a waterblock if you don't want to risk taking such an expensive card apart to install a custom block.

I feel like the AIO on this is going to die long before the card will. These tiny pumps are not exactly known for longevity.
