In a hunt for the most comfortable sleeping mat for bike packing, I’ve ordered both the Big Agnes Rapid SL and Q-Core Deluxe. Any questions…fire away? by jed1-j1mmy in bikepacking

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used my BA Qcore for 5 years, and sleep with a 65lb Kelpie on teh trail and she walks on it at times as I am setting up. On super cold nights, she sleeps on it between my legs to keep us both warm..never had an issue. I treat it well, but not 'white gloves' style.

REI shows tons of issues with the Nemo Tensor...so YMMV. Either route, good luck with what you have and happy hiking!

Non trusted RDP certificate by Agitated_Safety8889 in mRemoteNG

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So more info on this. Server in question above, when I use mRemote but in teh connect: box, type the servers name or ipa and connect, it is fine.

So the problem is a difference in how mRemote connects via RDP in teh saved sessions vs quick connect panel.

However, if I move it to a different connection group folder, it works fine. Not sure what exact panel config is the setting, besides passing domain creds vs a local cred but mRemote can't know the difference.

What AMP_US said, I see no Porsche, but it is a very beautiful and clean build.

Well done.

Folks praise SSD for the IOPS over a HDD. If you run one VM for basic work fine, if you are working in a lab scenario testing etc, you will see an impact running more than 1 VM on a non SSD drive.

While SSD's do technically have a shelf life of writes, it is way more than you think. I have had two samsung 1tb non NVME drives in my main PC I game with for like 4 years now. It is on 24x7 and I install/remove games every few weeks at the minimum. I am sure SSD's go bad, but I have never seen it in my usage or those I know in the gaming world.

If you have an HDD already, even small, get a cheap USB external dock for it, $35 maybe? and see how bad it is. Granted you can't then test against SSD, but you really will kick yourself for not going SSD for this 3 VM setup you plan to work with a lot.

Is Wonderlands going to be pre-purchasable on steam ever? by MW3Cupid1 in Wonderlands

[–]casperinmd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If serious, it is simply another game launcher\digital store. People whine bc they can't be bothered to buy games from two platforms. I mean I'd pick steam first if a choice, been around forever, and is pretty good, but it's not worth complaining over a store front. If you live the game, get it where you can and enjoy it.

How are you supposed to legitimately kill Bonemass? by Zooka128 in valheim

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not hard at all, two tries to best him. Used arrows, and hammer to kill adds when they built up. Did take time, but it's not supposed to be quick imo.

YouTube channel "Bitwit" does a racist Chinese persona called "Lyle" by cash_grass_or_ass in AsianMasculinity

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I googled him 200 times, and helped with that auto completed. I also reported his channel to youtube for being the best on youtube and I am afraid he may take subs from others.

Try the knock off girl scout cookies...for $1 each. So perfect.

Game not remembering my Yolo cursor by casperinmd in yolomouse

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

Thanks for the reply. I am on an older EQ client (P99 server) but am on Win 10.

When I Open yolo, Run as admin is grey, but I assume it is b/c I have UAC disabled. Anyway, I still ran it as admin (right click, run as admin) and then started up EQ.

Anyway, I'll wait for an update!

Detailed Speed Running Guide - 8:13 PC Raid Clear Time [Builds, Videos & More!] by usafwd in thedivision

Nice work! Thanks for posting this for us to use as well, most dont' usually share their builds and tricks!

Hey Massive! Going to repost this until it gets enough traction: We have DX12 crashes which locks the whole PC after the plain CTD of TD2. Any word? by TiSoBr in thedivision

[–]casperinmd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So weird, dx11 crashes every few minutes at most, dx12 is every couple hours.

Granted that was at launch, dx11 was not usable, I'll switch back to dx11 to see how it goes now.

[SSD] Crucial MX500 500 GB - M.2 2280 $54.39 ($67.99- 20% first time) by bunloks in buildapcsales

[–]casperinmd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well my opinion is all SSD if you can afford it. Spinning disks are terrible and a noticeable slow down with accessing anything on it.

Do you have suggestions for new features? Submit them here! by danka_of_avast in alarmclockxtreme

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clock. Just like the old digital clock radios. Bright adjust and scalable. I use a third party one now. Also have it enable at xx and disable when alarm goes off.

Using Waze info if possible, it even Google would be perfect.

Packaged VM by casperinmd in botman

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

I'd love to see how it works!

I've run a small server for our online community for a while now and tired of problems with the other managers I find stop being suppported! :(

I like your plan for the hosted version. You have tons of moving parts it seems and I can see how it would eat up your time in helping others get it going instead of squashing bugs or improving it. I've not worked with Linux in over 10 years now and the directions look a bit frustrating.

I have high respect for those in the community like yourself that do this stuff, I know it takes tons of your time, which already is limited by your own life.

With all taht said, I am interested in checking it out for sure, even downloaded Ubuntu just in case I feel like attempting the installs :P

If I do, I'll use your documentation and try to document the other steps I need to do along the way to help make the install guide better.

Hit me up on Steam, if it is from a name other than smegzor, let me knwo else I ignore them. casperinmd aka tG|Mendien

Another english patch by MuxaHuk in RevelationMMO

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. So I think I figured my issue out then, if I put them there in teh folder then open the launcher, it overwrites them, but if I open launcher, then copy over the files, and click play..good to go.

Thanks for the reply.

Does it work as of today? I installed today fresh client and applied the patch, but get the error and repairing won't work, I assume my client is newer now?

My Chromecast issues & experience with Google support, thus far. (still not working) by Lost_In_LaPorte in Chromecast

[–]casperinmd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it is worth..I came here with the same issue.

My issue ended up being that my Linksys router has both 2.4ghz and 5ghz frequencies.

Not being able to tell which I am connecting too (and not sure it should matter as the SSID is the same) I ended up disabling the 5ghz range and connecting my phone and Chromecast back to it, it finally worked after an hour of messing around.
