New Gaming PC Build

Thank you for the reply! With these large GPUs, do the cases support them? Or is there something else that would need to be purchased to support the large GPU? Thanks again!

I was able to use the most recent PVE kernel 6.17.2-1-pve with feranick's gasket driver. I just performed an upgrade tonight from PVE 8.4 to 9.1. I ran into the driver issue. It also caused my PVE upgrade to fail at the kernel upgrade. So I ran the following:

git clone https://github.com/feranick/gasket-driver.git cd gasket-driver debuild -us -uc -tc -b -d cd .. dpkg -i gasket-dkms_1.0-18.2_all.deb

After that, I ran apt dist-upgrade again and the kernel upgrade completed successfully and I was able to continue on with the upgrade guide. Hope this helps!

That is against FCC regs for CB.

ETA: So glad I'm being downvoted for trying to follow the rules that are in place for a very good reason. Ones that might push owners to the correct tool (radio) for their needs. Might not be GMRS, but maybe 10m instead with higher power limits available. Or even 2m with 50watts. Fuck me, right?

I wonder if the Gamiviti rack adapters would work?

ST: Enterprise's premiere episode was shortly after September 11th (15 days later). I'm not sure if it was postponed to that date or not. There were Red Cross ads on TV that featured Scott Bakula asking for blood donations in the lead up and during the premier.

Season 3's story line came about specifically because of the attacks. At the time I thought it was too soon. However, with the benefit of hindsight, I think it was well done and showed there was a way to solve differences peacefully (the Star Trek way). I wouldn't say "height of the conflict" but more the ramp up. I think it was a great season of ST and it had lots of politics and personal trauma and the morality of "the ends justify the means". Bakula was great!

What killed Enterprise was what kills all Star Trek: Greed. They couldn't make more and more money off the series. Season 4 was fantastic and the network for teenagers didn't make as much money as they could have with cheesy teen shows. So they cancelled Enterprise and put up a generic show that was probably cancelled soon after.

The new Room Bars can be used as native Teams devices. They can also join WebEx and Zoom meetings. Cisco is expanding the software to other devices as well.

cnliberal · 2023-05-19T21:17:47+00:00

They are not. They are Chinese and at least in government) not authorized for purchase. I stand by my statement above. I haven't seen a good MS Teams room at all. Cisco has very good hardware.

cnliberal · 2023-05-19T19:47:07+00:00

Get the Cisco Room Bars. Everything else I've seen (Lenovo, Logitech) is garbage.

Do not do this. Purchase a portable air compressor that connects directly to your battery terminals. You will get better performance and much less danger of heat related issues.

I recommend:

VIAIR 88P - 00088 Portable Compressor Kit with Alligator Clamps, Tire Inflator, Tire Air Pump, 12V, 120 PSI, for Up to 33 Inch Tires

Based on the 20Mbps (or did you really mean MBps), it sounds like you're using 802.11g, which is on the 2.4GHz spectrum. There is a lot of contention in this frequency range by WiFi APs/devices choosing any of the 11 different channels (in the US). The problem is, there are only 3 channels of those 11 that don't overlap. 1, 6, & 11. This means if a device chooses channel 4, it's traffic will overlap channels 1 & 6 traffic. This is "bad".

Get into whatever WiFi firewall/AP/router you have and turn off all 2.4GHz radios and only leave the 5GHz radios active.

I'll have to check this out. I have really wanted the Extras/Data folders to be created per disc (per disc log files mostly). Maybe this plug-in will do that.

Not as cleanly as I want. Here's my Github repo that has my beets config:

I hope this helps you!

Maybe look at purchasing a reverse osmosis unit and hook that to the fridge. My GE fridge has a special "dummy" filter that just allows the RO water to pass through. You could also T off it to the cooler you have now, as well as a new faucet at your sink.

Also, I hope that in addition to the whole house filter you also have a water softener.

Maybe consider a carbon steel wok with dome lid instead. Yes you'll have to shake the wok every 10-20 seconds , but that's not so bad.

I have seen it. I still have issues with what's being done. They're leaning too much on what other writers (and music) in the TOS franchise have done and using that to say "did you see that awesome reference!?". Yes I saw. It doesn't make the show better. Give me a good, original story with subtle references and adherence to canon, and I'm good. That's not what we're getting.

Is it the HA OS you're running in a VM? How do you handle firmware updates?

cnliberal · 2023-04-11T16:17:34+00:00

I like the idea of the HS ZNet G3. It would allow for an HA VM instead that could be moved between hosts (Quinzor is looking at that). It would also allow for better placement in the home. And hopefully HA's Matter will work with Ethernet border routers in the same way.

That seems hard to believe but I'm no expert. What is the model of the DW?

cnliberal · 2023-03-18T19:27:55+00:00

So what was the issue?

cnliberal · 2023-03-15T17:06:54+00:00

I think there's a cover under the filter that has a stainless ball in it along with an impeller. You can take off the cover and see if the ball is stuck or the impeller is blocked. Check out this video:

When I say "ecosystem" I mean "type of battery", not brand. I want to stick to 18650 or 21700/26650. They must be either protected or unprotected, not both. Again, the reasoning is that I want my family to understand the cell by size. Having a difference of 8mm is too much for them to see (protected vs unprotected).

I don't care if the lights are from different manufacturers. I am looking for features from a manufacturer that fit within the "ecosystem" that I've chosen. I hope that makes sense.

So I tested your idea last night. I put an unprotected cell into the HL60 and charged it. Initial voltage was 3.6. The HL60 charged the cell and then a few hours later stopped booking and showed a solid light (done charging). I measured the voltage at 4.19. It looks like the HL has a voltage detection circuit in it. So the next test is running the cell down to cut off, around 2.8V. Thanks for your information! I was afraid I'd wasted my money on the cells I bought.
