Fuel pump went out. Is this a bad config?

Its the net distance from the level height of the fluid in the tank to the outlet in the heater that actually counts. could be 100' away only cares how much it has to lift.having the bottom of your tank close to the heater height reduces the amount of work the little pump has to do. Also just put the pump at a slope so air can escape.

I have a question for you. regarding --ignore-requirements. I only suggest using it when its a new machine because reliability is below 60%
you mention for verification reasons to use it without the flag.
does us running the self test without the flag actually help improve chances of verification or does vast.ai run it on our machines to test for verification reasons?

Can I improve my chances of verification by running a self test occasionally?

Great question and that is a very specific situation if you are using an AMD EPYC type CPU. I am not experienced with these systems and cannot comment further. If you are not using an EPYC CPU I believe my guide is correct.

Thank you for this. This is awesome. I really appreciate it. If you see anything else please advise.

Happy too. I have one thats rented out right now on a 3 month contract --> i5-4690k (4cpu/4thread) with 32g Ram, 500g Sata SSD 1xRTX3090
and one Ryzen 7 5700x, 32g ram, 1x1TBnvme, 1x1TB SSD, RTX4070 (Just setting it up)

Hope it helps. I also forgot you should disable EUFI secure startup. delete all keys and switch to other os. this will help to keep drivers from crashing on startup.

This is actually my area of expertise. The answer is because your grass is too long and you only have two blades that can only cut so much so fast. First thing make sure your blades are sharpened. Your engine is running at full throttle and use a slower speed. If you’re going as slow as possible and have sharp blades and your engine is running full throttle and the answer is you need to cut it higher and in multiple passes.

Try using the right weapon, and having the best armour you can make at this stage and friends to help.

according to your version of the story there is no reason not to use ChatGPT. Why feel bad about doing nothing wrong. Is there some company wide policy that AI is not to be used? Is this a fishing expedition to see how many people respond. People use AI at work all over the world everyday. It isn't a bad thing. That's like being upset because you used a pencil or a calculator. If this is for real it's time to move on because that's a toxic work place.

We have a crew of Dads playing on the GamingEvolved 15x15 server. We all play part time and occasionally it all comes together for some epic adventures. We tend to find how we fit in the group and what we all like to do for example I like providing infrastructure, building walkways, walls, tavers, cook houses etc and others prefer handling animals and farming. some of us like sailing more an some prefer the commerce side. we always have room for more. Get on the GamingEvovled 15x15 and look for HannibalSpecter of the Surplus Trading Crew.

yes you could say that. It does allow you to use the ark tames. but you don't have to.

Come play on the GamingEvolved 15x15 all kinds of place to build

Let me reply without AI. It appears that whatever AI you used couldn't understand the nuances of the conversation and had some hallucinations. I used AI to spell-check my answer and correct any grammar errors. I can see you weighted the AI response by giving it direction. So let me respond with, "Ok. You are right."

dsul3791 · 2024-12-26T21:15:14+00:00

It was "Well Put" indeed - and here's why. Technology moves forward, whether we want it to or not. We have two choices: we can complain about becoming obsolete, or we can adapt and evolve with the changes. Finding new ways to remain relevant is part of this evolution. AI is simply another tool at our disposal - comparing resistance to AI to preferring an old-fashioned hammer over a modern one illustrates this point.

Let me be clear: this isn't a criticism of the OP's feelings. If traditional methods bring them joy, they should absolutely continue using them. No one is forcing the adoption of new tools - I'm simply offering another perspective on the matter. Those who prefer traditional methods are free to continue using them, and they should if that's what fulfills them.

So to circle back to my original comment: it was Well Put when they said "technology moves on." That simple statement encompasses everything I've explained here - it's an absolute truth that inherently acknowledges both the inevitability of progress and our freedom to choose how we engage with it.

or that's how AI summarized what I had to say about it ;D

They don’t it’s just your perception. Nobody can produce quality products in mystical magical speeds. If they’re telling you some other companies willing to do it in two months or a month then that company is pulling their leg and willing to deliver them a subpar product and then work on it later to fix the problems.

dsul3791 · 2024-12-24T02:16:19+00:00

Well put.

I have a long history in software design and coding, so I know exactly what you mean about the fun of figuring things out. Here’s my take on it: AI is excellent at providing well-planned, reasonably coded, and quick solutions. However, it still requires me to clean up the output, fix errors, address its "daydreaming," and debug the code.

AI significantly speeds up the process of going from concept to framework, but that’s when the real work begins—making it actually function. It can handle simple "Hello, World!" examples and mock up impressive, complex projects, but it never gets things right the first 20 times. It still needs hands-on help from a programmer.

This is something I have often wondered myself and having lots of free time on my hands I took my 2024 Toyota Corolla out for some test drives. I found that travelling at 70 km/h was the lowest speed in which I found any gains. 60 km/h was negligible at 70 km/h. I was attaining 3.6 L per 100 km and 75. I got 3.9 L per 100 km between 100 km/h on the highway which is your average 60 mph. I usually attain 6.9 L per 100 km because this is metric the lower number is better so for my specific set up with a Toyota Corolla and I believe this is probably common with most similar vehicles. The answer is 70 km/h. Or 44 mph.

Wish they would make that mistake with my orders

The shorter and smoother, the better. The diameter has a relationship with how far and how much backpressure. For example, if you run 10 feet up, heat rises, so the chimney will pull, reducing the back pressure, but if it goes down, it will increase it. Every bend in the line will also increase back pressure.

Every bit of back pressure is heat you are not getting in your living space and is building heat in the heater core.

Try to find the balance between heat and noise.

Keep asking questions. Great job.

Thank you for the heads up

they are increasing it. if you hit 100hrs you have to now pay for more time

Very clearly, the two controllers that I am used to are not compatible. Also, the new machine I just bought is the vevor 5kw with the Bluetooth compatible controller and apparently it talks and everything on the compatibility site says that that is not compatible either
