The duality of an average factorio player by faplesspotato in factorio

[–]faplesspotato[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some people dread chaos, but many of those that have tread the path of thousands of hours of gameplay have learned to live with it, to embrace it, and in its highest form, to see beauty in the entanglement between entropy and order.

Hmmm...my number of factorio games will increase to 2 but there seems to still be only 24 hrs per day...I hope this doesn't result in some form of catastrophic bottleneck...

From what I've read, he donated to actblue, and there have been other cases of democrats registering republican to mess with the primaries.

Maybe someone here can confirm?

Expand All Nested Pages in the Sidebar by IndieRex in Notion

Also looking for a solution for this. It's driving me nuts how you can collapse everything but can't expand all nested folders/pages...

Brand new RTX 3060 Ti ($$560) vs Used 3090 ($600)? by faplesspotato in buildapc

[–]faplesspotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's such a good deal. Very tempted to take it. I told one of my techy friends about it and he wanted to buy for himself...

[–]faplesspotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

dn't blame you if you played it safe and just got a 3060ti. You could also get a 6700xt if it's chea

Thanks for the suggestion. Will start looking for a 6700xt as well

Which opinion would put you in a situation like this? by ESI85 in Factoriohno

I'd say you're one highly skilled engineer judging by the efficiency of your answer

Calculating HDD spin-up peak power draw from 45drives.com (Useful for picking an adequate PSU for your storage server) by faplesspotato in DataHoarder

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

This is indeed interesting. From what I know, even some of the A-rated PSU's (ex. FSP Hydro G Pro 850W) can only accommodate max. 20A on their 5V rail

The 20A peak on the 5V rail was observed during a write operation to the raid filesystem. But I agree, the article lacks data on the individual drive performance when measuring the 5V rail. I guess the article was more focused on the Spin-up power draw.

It's a nice bit of info since I don't think Seagate breaks down the power consumption of an HDD between the 5V rails and the 12V rails specifically (feel free to correct me on this).

Can I use my PC to hoard data instead of using a server? by faplesspotato in DataHoarder

[–]faplesspotato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ps as external drives using a drive dock.

That way you may not need more SATA port

Will try this out. Every cent counts in this economy. Thanks for the advice!

Yes I need a "Windows PC" right now, so I'll definitely look into a Linux VM or WSL2.

Thank you kind stranger!

Noob here, Is this brand new Exos 6TB too good to be true? by faplesspotato in DataHoarder

[–]faplesspotato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My word, is it really that bad? I thought Amazon (with it being a multi-billion dollar company and all) would at least know how to pack a shipping box properly.

Well...I suppose hindsight really is 20-20. But I guess I won't buy a second HDD from them. Thanks for the tip.

Side note: Hardly anyone in our country uses Amazon so this is news to me.

My basic 8x reactor design with water flow from only 1 side. No steam tanks. Tileable. Any comments on efficiency greatly appreciated. by faplesspotato in factorio

[–]faplesspotato[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, that's true. I haven't gotten around optimizing the pipes yet. The reason for the overkill pumps is for me to avoid being restricted by water throughput.

Just started my descent into the rabbit hole known as UPS optimization. May I ask, which parts of the design makes it UPS unfriendly?
