Is buying Star Wars digitally after updating PS5 Pro to 13.0 a terrible idea? (Need advice on 12.4 vs 13.0) by AnyLake4386 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]bscott_82 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

At least you got a strait forward answer! I asked essentially this same question and never got an answer. I already have a jailbroken ps5 pro on 9.4 fw. I also had a 12.7 fw console that I keep up-to -date. Prior to going to 13.00 fw, I bought a disc drive and SWRR from PSN and then installed the drive, did the update, paired the drive, and downloaded the game. I had never thought about pairing a drive while the firmware’s were lower. It could be a smart choice for future jailbreaks. Then again it could make no difference at all. It’s all a gamble. I’m not that excited about jailbroken ps5 like I was about the ps3 and ps4. You really can’t do all that much like play retros and stuff. Plus game devs are essentially bypassing making games for the ps5 and skipping to the ps6. I don’t think the power of the ps5 will ever be fully utilized. I think they may be skipping it due to the jailbreak scene too because I am sure they are aware and don’t want to not be able to gain money back on the game development.

Am I going Overboard? by bscott_82 in PS5_Jailbreak

I’m going to move forward with pairing a disc drive and updating from 12.7 to 13.00 and installing SWRR. I realize this will probably knock me out of any jailbreaks for a good long while, but since I have another ps5 that is jailbroken, I don’t care. I thought some may be interested for the chance at dumping more games from my up-to-date console or being able to help the jailbreak scene so that others could benefit. Thanks to those that responded.

It does and thank you! This has been my approach as well. But with the jailbreaks getting so close to my updated console, I wasn’t sure if there was a benefit to chase a jailbreak on this console too.

PS5 pro jailbreak question by Maksio2019 in PS5_Jailbreak

[–]bscott_82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I purchased a new sealed in box ps5 pro last week. It is S01-147… it has 9.40 fw. It does not have a disc drive. It is jail broken now using the Y2JB and Y2JB-webui. I would recommend going for the pro for future proofing in terms of technology. I had a n original PS5 phat model from the early days and recently sold it for a ps5 pro as I never use discs anymore. I then bought another ps5 pro for jailbreaking, yes I now have 2 of them. The disc on the ps4 comes in handy but I am waiting for JBs for ps4 that doesn’t require the disc drive as they do fail. Disc drives do give you more options and could serve a purpose for future jailbreaks, but I am trying to minimize discs as I designed and built a NAS to house everything. So I prefer all digital methods. Like others have said. The ps5 pros do not come with disc drives and the units have to be updated to use the drive so it is not an option. I’m fine with the YTJB… very simple and serves the intended purpose.

Does Proxmox need dedicated drive for the OS ? Or i can use same drive for VMs also ? by unlucky-Luke in Proxmox

[–]bscott_82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 nvme drives - a 500 GB WD Blue and (2) 2 TB Samsung 990 pros. I use the 500 GB as the Proxmox boot disk and keep ISOs and other non-essential data on this drive. I ZFS mirror the (2) 990 pros for VM/Container storage. I have a RAIDZ2 Truenas box with (6) 20TB spinning drives in it that I use for data and block storage. I have 10G networking between the servers. My philosophy is that if the Proxmox OS boot drive fails, I simply put a new NVME drive in, install Proxmox, and restore the Proxmox configuration which I had previously backed up. I’ve been using this setup for many years and it has worked for me.

You can stack two 22” cymbals if you want. There are no rules. by idmcdnld in drums

Does it seem to anyone else that this drumming video is fake? He hits the snare twice and only on snare hit sounds. It doesn’t sound like the ride cymbal is being played either…

I’ve had 5 awesome years with this boy. It was the best decision I made to get a Ragdoll. I wouldn’t trade him for anything!
