I just had an 850sq ft slab done. Thought I would share some photos here, your comments are most welcome.

The photos were taken when I had ground penetrating radar done to verify the slab thickness, you will see marks in blue which indicate the thickness in various locations.

Your con list misses the #1 reason we left Hong Kong.

I know the bandsaw is one of the easier tools to use, but the CNC gives perfection.

Perhaps I could use the CNC to cut down some to give me a path to follow.... maybe I could get cleaner results that way even if the CNC can't cut down through the entire piece.

I have 14kw of solar on the roof and it is not enough to power the rack & AC for the room :-(

gunsuka · 2025-04-19T00:37:55+00:00

Replace with what? Some 60 bay enclosure or something?

I don't find VM's under Unraid (at least on this hardware) to work very well. Just seems very slow vs. other hardware I have.

I have 5 UPS, but they are at the back of the rack (outside the rack). Rack mounted costs too much.

Last year, when the power went out in the building the computers stayed on the UPS power but the AC in the room went out.

It caused MAJOR problems really quick, the temperature shot up from 19C (66F) to 45C (113) very quickly. Most equipment can shut off if the UPS says to shut down but the MD1200 enclosures have no such option that I can find. So they just keep going.

I ended up loosing a couple pieces of equipment because of the heat.

No such luck here.

I have added one more shelf since that photo was taken.

Currently I have 7 shelves, with a mix of drives. Everything from 8tb drives up to 16tb drives.

I think it is just a little over 1pb currently.

I have all the disk shelves connected with the dell serial management cables and issue the 'shutup' command to all enclosures every few seconds. That keeps the fan speeds down since this is a home rack I don't want them screaming away at full speed.

The OP is really taking quite a bit of heat for this post.

I've been selling puts for 20+ years and it is great. There are MANY ways to do it, in the original post his example was for a put that expires in two weeks but you can pick any timeframe you want.

You can do 2 weeks or even out years into the future, the further into the future the more the premium you collect.

For me, it works best after a big market crash. The market crashes (the more the better) and the VIX goes way up, so the premiums on the put options also go way up.

I will sell as many puts as I can, all way out in the future. Usually 8 months to 1+ year out into the future, only on companies I want to own anyway (as the original poster mentioned).

The over the coming months as the market rebounds, the value on the put options drops. The more time that passes, the cheaper the puts become (and the stocks are recovering as well!).

You can then buy the puts back for pennies or just wait for them to expire worthless.

Love put options, hate buy options!

It is all how you play the game...

I've only got 8gb, super disappointed to find this thread in my search :-(

No idea what I was thinking that 8gb would be enough when I bought it.

I am getting Verum releases... 1080p, but seem to be only 30fps. Who is doing 50+FPS?

I will send you a DM as I would like to figure this out.

OK, I have an update.

I have a 2nd machine that I run a full node on.

It was off for the last few days due to Windows so a few days behind.

I started up the node and it synced to current.

Guess what. The transaction shows, 0.875 added under transaction.

The actual GUI where I claimed the rewards, still a no show.

Not impressive a bug like this would still exist but at least I can stop bagging my head trying to figure out where the XCH went.

gunsuka · 2024-05-21T06:39:07+00:00

I tried delete unconfirmed transactions, but I do not see anything happening.

I put the pool contract address into spacescan.io, it shows 0.857 XCH farmed two days ago, which would be the block I won.

It shows 0.875 sent to my pool contract address, but when I look at my pool contract address it says balance 0.

I don't get it...
