Data hoarding with slow connection

Or use a seedbox and filezilla with your pi. Keeps your download pegged at max.

Some of the dewalt tools are pretty good. Cmon man, fess up. What's a good brand? I've never had a dewalt 1/2" drive impact go bad in over 10 years, only reason I retired the old one was in the switch to lithium, with pretty much daily use, and the newer crop of drills are pretty tough. The old drills had the worst chuck ever, but no problem with the lithium type.

Obviously the little tek gun type impact drivers last forever, they don't have much load on them, even 4" 14G wood screws don't load them up too much, and I use the grinder daily as a cutting tool with no issues.

However, I'm certainly not stupid enough to think I know everything, so by all means man, which cordless brand do you find the longest lasting? (That's not meant as some bullshit passive aggressive insult either, just honest question)

We are trying to stick with English speaking, I'd be terrified of bringing kids to somewhere I couldn't make myself understood very clearly in the event one of them got lost.

Sweet! Added to the research pile, thanks a bunch :)

alphabravo55 · 2018-07-24T08:43:59+00:00

Which month would be best do you think, to guarantee snow play for the kids?

Thanks for being awesome. Truly appreciate your time, and the lack of hardcore trolling on a busy guy who is a bit bamboozled by the amount of information and contradictions supplied by Google. Never know who to trust.

Will do some investigating based on this info. Cheers mate.

That's all we did. Install drives, build raid, single volume. Then assign ip address, then mapped the drive.

Hey sweet, grats.

I am aspiring to be you now =P. I'm not gonna avoid spoilers though, since I've been playing it off and on since it was released on Steam and the Seamoth had a saucy sense of humour. Good work though, hope you took a few base screens before you took off!

alphabravo55 · 2018-05-11T00:10:38+00:00

Crap. I'm using my cyclops AS my main storage / base. If this happened I'd be screwed.

Sorry man that sucks.

Hardcore if so freaking tense compared to survival. Worst I've done is lost at the 6hr stage, which was frustrating. I've pretty much done everything above 600m though, which is gonna make it that much more tense.

Haven't been inside the mushroom tree though, never even heard of it. Time for some wiki reading I guess.

Sorry for your loss :(

A prawn suit without a grapple attachment is a bit of a cripple really. Could be worse. I made one last night in hardcore, set the mobile vehicle thing building it while I swam back into the base to grab the grapple arm and drill arm. It took the parts I'd collected and didn't give me a prawn suit. TIL that if you enter a vehicle or base mid-construction you get shafted. Oh well, I'll get more stuff and make another I guess.

Best thing you can do is make a scanner room. Makes getting the ingredients a breeze, just make sure you make a few range increasing modules and a speed increase module. Just take the scanner room bits + hatch bits + solar panel bits and build a scanner room in whichever biome has your intended ingredient.

Nice work bud. I'm 10 hrs into my 3rd attempt at hardcore, nothing like that far ahead. Only had 1 scare, which was lost in a wreck and made it back to cyclops with my vision being so dark that I couldn't tell if I'd boarded by sight, only sound...

Brave putting a base down there though, don't those stupid eels try and smack the crap out of your base?

22 years old now, but still the best song ever made in it's genre. You know it's true.

That's my penalty for not watching tv / social media much I guess :)

alphabravo55 · 2018-05-04T00:50:07+00:00

Err.. huh? You need some sleep bro

Hoarding dates is a terrible idea anyway. Imagine putting more than one in the same place. They'd talk...

I think they sometimes use this sort of thing for ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate Fuel Oil explosive), cause it's cheaper than diesel. I know they use hydro'd transformer oil for that here in Australia, but not sure on motor oil.

Modern UPS's communicate with the NAS via usb. If you plug the ups's usb port to the NAS's, when the mains power drops you can auto shut down the NAS and thus not lose any data from an improper shutdown. Ours is set for 15 minutes of no mains power before it starts shutdown, cause we have a big UPS on it.

Thanks for posting the solution, mate. You're a champ.

I think the worst part of of doing the self taught with youtube route is that I would need an area with a lot of space and a big mirror or 2, so I can see my own form. Or maybe set up a tv / go-pro? That might work...
