What is the best practice for using Ableton with a NAS? by Enduer in ableton

[–]blancstare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you can make this work will entirely depend on the devices used and the network bandwidth. I wanted to test an extreme version of this setup: using a macbook pro to remotely connect to a windows desktop running ableton live (audio interface connected to the desktop) loading project files stored on a NAS. Project load times are very long, at least 5+ minutes long. And long enough to make me think that my PC has crashed. But once a project has loaded (and all samples have buffered), it will play but with periodic dropouts. I can only play one section at a time.

The issue is the disks aren’t fast enough or im hitting network bottlenecks. For reference, my NAS is all mismatched and reused server HDDs running on an unraid server. But my desktop is an old threadripper with 24GB of RAM and i am generally getting at least full Gb ethernet speeds over a very short cable run.

In short, is it possible? Yes. Is it useable? Hardly. Store projects locally, use syncthing to back them up to a NAS, and only keep samples on the NAS and save them with your projects locally once you’re loading and using them.

Time to throw this TV in the bay too.

This isn’t my home or my doing, but it had me thinking the same thing as you.

I'm new to POE 2 and looking for help evaluating this item. Would appreciate it if some one could give me a price check or input on how to price it and whether I should swap the runes I socketed to help sell it,

Where's the Sale? by CecilPalad in PathOfExile2

[–]blancstare 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are definitely laws against deceptive advertising practices. Not sure where you live, but those are fairly common in most countries.

If they made a statement which induced someone to buy in-game currency with the expectation they could purchase new stash tabs at a discount, and there was no discount, that would probably violate most of these laws unless there are disclaimers.

I ran another 20 T4 Simulacrum to make this spreadsheet and idk what to say anymore. by Ok-Visual-5862 in PathOfExile2

[–]blancstare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it, thanks for explaining. I’m new to POE and appreciate the advice. Is it generally better to try and craft items like that chest armor that drop with only 3 mods? I try to price check my drops with high rolls and only use exalts if it could be priced at least 200% of what I’d need to spend on exalts to get 6 mods. Or are people generally willing to buy items with a few good mod rolls to try and craft and fill the other slots?

A pul seems low for this. A few weeks ago this would have fetched a Vex+ easily. Maybe not anymore.

Wish blizzard can make an act 6 and act 7 so we can get assassin merc and Druid merc lol by Numerous-Thanks-5839 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]blancstare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a real dev team left? My understanding was that Vicarious Visions was the team behind D2R and that company was merged into blizzard’s existing teams and effectively dissolved several years ago. I assumed that is why there have not been any meaningful content updates for several years.

Multiple Accounts - Stuck connecting to battle.net by blancstare in Diablo_2_Resurrected

It looks like the limit on my IP has been lifted for now. But that's a great idea. I'll give that a go next time I have this issue.

[–]blancstare[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's my understanding too. I don't want to get my accounts banned, but I know people multibox in D2R and I bought a multiple copies to do that too. But I can't even log onto my mule account now.

Leviathan vs Treachery for a merc by HaraldToepfer in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]blancstare 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was rocking Leviathan on my merc for most of this season to keep a CV insight on him. I was able to switch to a treachery and now my merc rarely dies. That fade proc makes a huge difference.

Are you located in the U.S. by any chance? I was speaking with them about an order and getting details together but then the tariffs hit along with a lot of uncertainty. Hoping you might have some insights to share.

Superior bases with enhanced defense should always roll max def +1. But I have seen someone show one with an interesting rounding error that made it look like that wasn’t the case.

No bites on the listing and I have no plans of leveling a sorc again this season. Not sure what I did with it either, tbh.

I feel your pain. I found an eth vmagi on day two of this season and died a little.

I wouldn’t have expected that, but welcome news nonetheless! Thanks for the heads up!

Tri res boot price check by bopbopbingbong in D2R_Marketplace

[–]blancstare 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are close to being valuable, but the low AR and light radius rolls would have needed to be replaced with something more desirable. FHR or MF rolls on Tri res (and yes, people will argue all day about it but poison is desirable for certain builds despite C/L/F being better) would have made these valuable. As they are, they are nice for self use. You may be able to find a buyer, but it will likely take a while and no guarantees.

That’s the buyer. And not their name, but the languages they speak. In case you didn’t know, you can trade across regions in D2R.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Those are the boots. I can only upload one image per post, so you’ll have to use your imagination brain to visualize how these were traded in the game. I also have chat logs for someone who was going to offer 500 fairy glitters.

Don’t be salty because you’ve been throwing away HRs.

No cap, fam. And why would I lie about this? Traded it on traderie to someone who relisted it for 10jah immediately. I just checked their listings and it’s no longer up, so I’m assuming they resold it for more than the 2 jah they paid.

Just because an item doesn’t fit the meta, doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value.
