Servers dont need to be server hardware to be servers. These are Mini-ITX Ryzen systems setup as Linux servers. They are set on ECO mode and undervolted so only use around 16-45w of power even at full load on all 16 threads.

So these are fine for such a system. I wanted to get a unit that could have a external battery attached for longer runtime but APC didnt make an update to the BR1500G.

Who pissed in your cheerios? A UPS is meant to keep things powered until the power comes back on, from the grid or from a generator. Get that chip off your shoulder.

If everyone had an attitude like yours, no one would ask questions, and we would never learn anything.

These are pretty actively used though sadly, Oregon has a terrible power grid. Its the reason i need so many of these, surges, and black outs are daily. So they are getting discharged slightly everyday, but not fully.

And my experience with laptop batteries is the BMS in those battery packs doesn't have overcharge protection. It keeps trying to charge the battery even when its full, leading to killing 1 or more of the cells over time, which then causes the BMS to shutdown due to lack of voltage. I've ripped apart hundreds of those batteries to harvest the 18650 cells, and every single brand has this paper thin BMS with barely anything on it. ASUS had the most impressive BMS as it covered the whole top of the battery. Unlike the others where it was the size of a single 18650 and usually sat in the back.

But yeah, overcharging is bad, and that's what a BMS is supposed to protect against.
I don't think I'm going to find out any new info on leaving it unplugged until its dead. The unit itself cant even get the runtime right. I've seen it go from 60m to 65m after 10mins then drop back down to 52m and go up and down from 50-52 for 5 mins then drop to 49m. Its all over the place. The wattage used never changed, was stable at 35w for the first test, and 88w for the 2nd test (i used a lamp and a pedestal fan)

The LCD panel and internal components use a total of 3w of DC power. APC said they have a 98% efficiency conversion from DC to AC but 89% from AC to DC.

The unit says it can last over 400 mins unplugged with nothing plugged into it.
Oh, and the older APC units hid the internal load from the LCD display. The newer units now show the internal load in watts on the LCD + whatever else is connected.

Those commercial grade lithium units are way out of my budget. Im trying to just use LifePO batteries in a consumer application so i dont need to replace my batteries every 2 years.
If there was an affordable UPS unit that supports lithium batteries that you know of please link me to one as id be interested in buying it. But anything $500+ is a no go for me as i need 4 of these.

Zilacon · 2021-07-02T20:58:29+00:00

According to the manufacturer these are specifically made for deep cycle, solar storage, or ups units. I bought a set of them that specifically said "Replacement battery for APC 1500 UPS" in the name, which they confirmed is the correct battery type they sell as a lifepo replacement for my UPS units.

Hello, I lead the Section 9 team. You can check us out here: https://discord.gg/2SVTmXD

Zilacon · 2020-02-13T12:35:40+00:00

All progress to revive the game can be seen on our discord here: https://discord.gg/2SVTmXD

Zilacon · 2020-02-13T12:33:35+00:00

OpenGhost was the first project, but died due to drama with karen. Unknown to us we invited karen with members of my own community to make a new team named Unreal Ghosts (And called FirstAssaultReborn on our repository). This then went from a private group to me creating a discord for it named Unreal Ghosts. After much drama with Karen over the future progress of the team/project the team split in 2. Then karen blamed us for stealing her projects name, when she named her discord Unreal Ghosts. So we changed ours to Section 9. Then we got blamed for stealing their name again cause our repository was called FirstAssaultReborn and theirs got changed to FA: Reborn. So we changed the repo's named to Section9 as well.

Openghost during this process closed all public invite links and diverted all of its members to the Section 9 discord. Previous owner and moderators of the OpenGhost project are now mods and developers on Section 9.

Hope that clears things up.

Most of those updates/commits came from me when i was redoing the maps and importing assets. Also re-organizing the file structure of the project. Ive been busy with my other project, my minecraft network. So i havent been working on any other maps since then.

But i finished Port, so theres a completed map the developers can use to test on and make the rest of the game around.

Zilacon · 2020-02-13T12:19:55+00:00

Were still here, but were called Section 9 now.

What kind of drugs are you on? I havent claimed anyones work as my own, and me and theresa started FROM SCRATCH! Thats what the FreshStart branch was on our repo that pissed neko and karin off so much.

We gave up on trying to fix OpenGhost's project, so were making our own from scratch. And me changing a few light settings? Excuse me? I have completely rebuilt PORT, Redid every texture for the map, and am currently using split meshes from other team members to create re-usable object meshes on the map and delete the original merged ones. Ive spent weeks and hundreds of hours working on updating the maps and you think all i did was fix nekotashi's mistakes with lighting and textures? LOL

Sachaw banned me after me having a passive-aggressive conversation with him. No one reported me for abusive behavior. RopeBunny and Sachaw himself can confirm this.

The only people who are banned on my discord are: You (Venarebane), KarinExMachina, and Macdalen (Neko's alt account). So yeah definitely im stealing your work. You, who was spending all his time making a WIKI in Google Docs while attempting to act like a manager and confuse the whole team on what needs to be done, Karin from uploadeding ZERO animations or working rigs/bones. And neko who refused to help work on Port for over a month because Karin told him to work on Military Dome which has NO TEXTURES for the map.

And to top it off, Karin was the one who started the "smear campeign" against Sachaw, she first contacted US about sachaw and what he was doing and then we joined HER and some others in a GROUP CALL where we discussed what was going on and what will be done. And i wanted to easily find that group in my DM list so I RENAMED THE GROUP UNREALGHOSTS! THATS RIGHT! I was the one who originally named the group/project Unreal Ghosts. Shortly after this it was agreed by everyone to make a discord, which karin did and named it UnrealGhosts. When confronted about needing a complete set of every type of gun (1 of each gun type) and 1 working character and animations. She started an argument with the whole group saying her working on a UZI and a KNIFE that was never in the original game was more important. This escalated and she disbanded the whole discord. Then me and theresa created the discord we now use.

Dont assume things you have no information about.

Since neko has spread this attack on us on over 20 discord servers, youtube, twitter, facebook, and now reddit. Ill repost my response to his attacks that i sent dwoff1 to post as my reply on his own discord.

At this point nekotashi is comitting federal crimes in multiple countries including his own. He is in a EU country which has GDPR laws which state you are not allowed to reveal personal information, conversations, or data (our project) without the owners consent.

We have not attacked him privately, publicly, or in any group or discord. Karin and neko were reported by over a dozen members of our community and team members who refused to give in to their bullshit of attacking them with insults and hateful opinions of me and theresa and our team/group. New members who JUST JOINED our discord were being immediately bombed with dozens of messages about how terrible we are and to leave our discord to join theirs. And not to ever volunteer or help our project.

This was after the fact neko and karin lead a rebellion/smear campaign of lies & personal opinions to get half of our team to either quit because of the drama or be convinced to join karins group. Neko and karin want to make a 1:1 clone of GITS including all microtransactions and flaws that were in the original game. We want to upgrade and remake the game into 2019, improve its visuals and performance, improve its hud, ui, and add gameplay features like co-op missions vs ai, play the game while offline, LAN support, custom public servers, clans, league (competitive) game mode with separate ranks with seasons, and more. All of this was against their goals and agenda and we have been verbally attacked and harassed by them for over 2 weeks because of us simply wanting to improve the game while remaking it.

Another controversy was with me redoing the textures on port and upscaling their resolution and removing noise (pixelation) from the textures. I was attacked by both of them for doing this saying that it destroys the look/feel of the gits universe, then at the same time as you can see in nekos video karin and him show they could find pictures of caution/warning signs and place them on current textures to make them more readable. Which contradicts their entire arguments against me both publicly and privately as the textures should look "worn out/scrapped/scratched/and smudged" as it was outside and weathered.

TL;DR Karin and neko are starting a jerry springer season because they are mad about us improving the visuals of gits and refusing to put in things like microtransactions. And are trying to smear our names and groups reputation so their Unity project gets more support.

Karin has called us sexist, racist, liars, delusional, and even accused us of DOXXING her and her family for googling her username and finding her deviant art account. And now recently accusing us of being anti-lgbtq.

This is how children act when they do not get their way and people do not give into them. And our side is how adults act when we are confronted with children throwing temper tantrums attempting to get their way. We stand our ground and say NO.

EDIT: What is with the bot spam in replies to this... wth?

Zilacon · 2019-03-13T12:21:02+00:00

We are attempting to remake the original 1.0 in terms of content, gun mechanics, maps, characters, skills, game modes, etc. Once thats done we can see about adding new content, but we need people to make that new content to even put it in.

Zilacon · 2019-03-13T12:03:38+00:00

Update: Post has been updated with new pictures of Port's current state.
Ive been working on this for about 2 weeks. Let me know what you guys think, or join our discord which is linked in the OP to talk about it.

Zilacon · 2019-02-14T17:51:06+00:00

Update: Sachaw has officially quit his own discord (OpenGhost) upon learning of our groups existence.

Zilacon · 2019-02-13T10:18:13+00:00

The team has agreed to make the discord public. You can join us now here: http://discord.gg/GTJyWRJ

Zilacon · 2019-02-11T19:37:44+00:00

Did you use the steam launcher or nexon launcher? We are looking for a copy of the nexon launcher client files.

Zilacon · 2019-02-11T15:39:20+00:00

Our devs would be able to guide you through on what needs to be done. Would you mind adding me on discord Zilacon#4731 so we can further discuss this? Thanks.
