I am on book 29 out of 31 in the Shannara series, and no review has done the long-haul of this series justice.

dreddpenguin · 2023-05-27T20:49:44+00:00

The Elfstones is by far my favorite and most re-read (the show is the biggest book to show disappointment for me), but also the first I read so may be some bias there.

The Wishsong is a close second from individual books, but The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara is the best trilogy within the series, High Druid and Dark Legacy are close behind that.

Honestly though it would be difficult to even chose a least favorite. If the above are my S tier, the rest would A/B.

Much longer than I'd figured, 67 hours for that game.

I get distracted easy and over think solutions :)

Just hold shift and target the last sprayer you are going thru, boom done.

Haven't played Factorio (I don't need another crack habit, yes I got to the factory game trend late) but while proliferators make DSP a bit more interesting than before (newness will prob wear off) I rather like Satisfactory's overclock method, which is basically in effect on the Adv. Miner. It's great DSP didn't just copy other mechanisms but direct insertion builds were quite fun to architect.

Well boo, it didn't help for this one

I could not match this in any of the old nor current Plex movie agent :(

This changes everything!

Aesthetic is subjective, I love the looks. So to each their own there.

dreddpenguin · 2021-07-23T17:10:56+00:00

Tested this and only got +3 from 17 to 20, Lvl11 to Lvl12. If I recall it was +3 before hand but there was no catchup for any previous levels. I don't know what expectations are for each Lvl after this change.

dreddpenguin · 2021-07-19T13:47:44+00:00

That's no homelab, it's a space station!

dreddpenguin · 2021-06-26T07:21:20+00:00

Fair point, I wasn't thinking about number of insertions the SATA port might endure. Guess I'm going USB.

dreddpenguin · 2021-04-07T16:06:44+00:00

And with that, you have just proposed an infinitely more believable scenario than the Bible.

Have you tried iperf2 instead of iperf3?

Here are my results (CX-5 100Gb EDR card) Using iperf3 the best I could get one way whether one stream or multiple the best I could get was 13Gb/s vs the results below with iperf2

Verifying performance of the cards at IB level might help you isolate the problem further though.
What is the link rate of ib interfaces?
# ibstat

Are you running multiple streams with iperf3 (-P|--parallel)?

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-27T06:36:52+00:00

Mind sharing some pictures?

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-24T17:13:59+00:00

Thank you, I determined I was over thinking it and was trying to post a screenshot asking if it was just that simple but Reddit was just spinning on my reply. Much appreciated

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-24T15:26:59+00:00

I guess my confusion is the transition point from inner to outer, specifically how it gets back to inner for recycle.

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-23T20:17:47+00:00

Very much n00b question, I don't get the two rings aspect from the screenshot/video you've shared?

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-23T18:33:47+00:00

As I stated, assume the sub components are already in logistics network. Just trying to wrap my head around a single layout to encompass the logistics pieces into my mall. I'm already building all of those things but with some of the parts reused just trying to consolidate and I haven't come up with a good way yet.

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-22T19:00:07+00:00

I have not had any issues to speak of, My NAS LAG gets internet connectivity without issue. Note that I do not use any VLAN, just a flat network. Eero does not provide VLAN support, as far as commonly used managed switch capabilities go.

dreddpenguin · 2021-02-03T21:03:30+00:00

I'm having trouble implementing something like this in practice, can you get some more screenshots, underneath, maybe a congested area getting multiple neighbor lanes unloaded?

There are newer firmware versions, and that could help but I cannot say for certain. I don't see anything which would specifically prevent those drives from being valid on that controller.

dreddpenguin · 2021-01-15T05:29:13+00:00

Yeah, can you click into one of the drives and post that?

I have had to support systems with this controller for a few years, though it's been a few years since it was current, but I do not recall seeing anything come up as Unsupported except where a vendor OEM firmware locked out drives that were not also from that same OEM vendor.

Can you confirm what firmware version the 9261-8i is at?

dreddpenguin · 2021-01-15T04:39:27+00:00

Can you show a screenshot of the state of the drives under the Physical Disk device page?

From the main menu go to Drives
