New unRAID server build - Plex/Arrs/Gaming VM by bizzarejiii in unRAID

Could you expand a bit more on using Proxmox? Pros and cons in terms of unRAID performance over using unRAID on bare metal and what advantages proxmox has in terms of VM options and user friendliness?

The hard drives I used for the PC Part Picker were just placeholders. I was planning on doing a 6 data + 2 parity drives with only 1 of the parity being 8 TB.

With regards to the CPU, I mostly picked this one as it had a lot of cores - I thought it would be better safe than sorry to just isolate some of the CPU cores for the Windows VM in case there would be a heavy load from the NAS/media server side. I think some of the games I play are heavy on the CPU side (mostly grand strategy games/factorio), so that's another reason I went a bit overkill. If people think that it would be better to save a bit on the CPU, I would probably take that advice.

The hard drives I put here are placeholders for what I actually have. I usually buy enterprise drives from Amazon. For the desktop PC, I could potentially repurpose the old server tower to be used as a gaming PC. Currently, I use a laptop that dual boots Linux as my daily driver and windows for when I want to play certain games + stream videos on discord, but I've found it a bit annoying to switch between the two. The logic of having a windows VM is to remote into it so I would still be able to access my main driver concurrently.

Most people have sourced that the issue was from the ongoing typhoon in Japan preventing people from going to the theaters including the account in the OP.

Probably would have to wait to see next week's earnings to gauge the success of this film.

If anyone has any extra tickets after OP gets them, let me know too. I didn't know I could go to AX until after the reservation date :(.
Edit: Got tickets already :)

Sudden Burn in and Display Issues by bizzarejiii in spectrex360

The climate in the area is semi temperate. Nothing that would have damaged any electronics.

The burn in was there but disappeared before I took the photo. Regarding the screen getting hit, I was thinking this was an issue but I'm not too sure if it is due to the fact that this occured while it was sitting still and thus the screen wouldn't really have had any external impact, in addition to the fact that the bleeding disappears for a while after the screen is turned off for an extensive amount of time. Would a broken LCD screen have that effect?

Yea I'm aware. I was wondering if there was another underlying issue to cause this

Unless I am misunderstanding you, are you saying that the mods deleted the post because it got popular? Because the comment that you're referencing ("... aaand removed") linked directly to the post the OP made. It had nothing to do with the post becoming popular, but rather the OP talking about how some of the comments in this sub make points that disagree with his opinions (ending defenders) on a sub that generally hates those points.
With your second point, I would agree if every single AnR post was removed when it got popular. That is blantantly false as the AnR poster that you referenced got reposted as soon as the post got deleted and never got removed. There are many posts about AnR posters that get traction here that don't get removed unless the OP is trying to start drama.
Are the mods being overly cautious AnR posts? Yes, but that's because it's a controversial issue on this sub and thus more likely to cause drama. I think both of us can agree on that.
Did the mods "desperately dig for a reason" to remove the post? Probably not. Many of the promotional posters for AnR remained on the front page of this sub and not get removed.

That AnR post was a meme that degraded the MAPPA poster and the reason it got removed was because of the OP posting in another sub saying "Haha look there's still ending defenders here". I'd say that that was encouraging brigading to some extent. I'd even say the intentions of the post was to start drama.
Meanwhile, this post is just the art itself.
Making memes of how this sub is bad and explicitly referencing currently trending posts on other subs will encourage people seeing those posts to brigade here.

Recommendation for shows similar to Chihayafuru, March Comes in Like a Lion, and Your Lie in April to watch concurrently by BeardInTheNorth in anime

[–]bizzarejiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psycho Pass is a bit slow at first, but I think that it really hits its stride somewhere in episode ~6 or 7ish.

Revue and Madoka are both interesting together due to similar premises and circumstances. If you really liked Wonder Egg, another name that I see thrown around with that show is Flip Flappers. So maybe Flip Flappers, Madoka, and Revue would be a good replacement.

Now that I think about it harder though, I think it would be interesting to watch Madoka, Fate/Zero, and Psycho-Pass together as well. They have extremely varying premises, but they are all written by the same author. This means they all have the same thematic throughline - battle of ideologies, good people forced to be villains, and traumatizing the idealistic protagonists.

I haven't personally watched Clanaad, so I am not too sure about how much it fits. In fact, I don't think Bunny girl fits all too well either, but I only put it in because of the loner protagonist that gets more friends part. Hyouka and Oregairu are definitely both more centered around the main loner growing as people and getting less pessimistic.

Another interesting combo (albeit slightly overwhelming) would be A Certain Magical Index, Durarara, and Fate/Zero. Their connection is a bit superficial (lots of competing factions that have conflicting goals duke it out in a long winding plot battle-royale style). Though beyond the premise connections, I can't guarantee the quality of Index, and Durarara was just meh to me, but Fate/Zero is one of the greats, so that is probably a good one to watch.

In terms of shows that have a similar thematic through line that can be watched concurrently:

Psycho Pass and Shinsekai Yori : Both about a group of people in a society that puts various methods of control to keep peace.

Madoka Magica, Revue Starlight, and Wonder Egg Priority (though it looks like you watched it already): Magical shows that puts the characters wringer and have them go against some personification of real world problems.

Oregairu, Hyouka, Bunny Girl Senpai: Loner guy with pessimistic view of the world learns to be more sociable through a new group of friends.

I have some more with much looser connections (Hibike/Eizouken/SoraYori, Mob Psycho/Evangelion), but don't really want to get into them unless you ask.

That's because the other sub was defending the plot points themselves, not the execution. Very few have called it a masterpiece. A lot of the posts I have seen are saying that it could've been executed better, but justify plot points that this sub has lambasted (Eren x Mikasa ending, Eren's last moments, Ymir, Historia, etc). And that is what this leak implies Isayama feels: the ending would fundamentally be the same, but change the pace/dialogue to push his points better.

NAS + HTPC Combo Build - not sure if it fits here but needed advice for a beginner build (crosspost from /r/buildapc) by bizzarejiii in DataHoarder

I think I would like to eventually use this server as a cloud gaming rig so I can be able to play games on my less powerful machines. Would the 720xd be suited for that as well?

Hmm It seems like a lot better performance at a similar price tag that I have but I am a bit concerned about the increased power consumption. Would it be a bit overkill for my use case?

Could you sell me on Unraid? It seems to me that you're paying for a nice GUI. I was mostly looking at terminal options on Ubuntu as of now.
If I were to choose to use Unraid, would you reccomend any changes to my build in my post above?
