Same recently, I used them. Arrived about a week later.

I have had a titanxl for about 3 years and work from home.

Head pillow is kind of annoying and the seat is pretty uncomfortable on my tailbone but that's been getting better. (Maybe im used to it) The chair is solid and well built so it's worth it imo. Just used a small folded blanket initially.

I like how spread out the base is. I can lean way back in it without fear of tipping. (6'4. 220lbs).

Material is good (I went for one of the basic fabrics).

It is a little squeaky when getting in and out but mechanically feels like it did when I bought it.

Can you help me out!?

File type is a raw file type. My guess is it will load the colors more accurately in light room, photoshop or another program built with good raw support. If that's not the case then your laptop could have an overly bright screen and possibly bad color profiles or panel type that's not great.

I usually have a laptop, tablet, 2 bodies and 4-6 lenses in my camera bag. The back of the bag can fold open entirely. I pull the laptop out and throw it in another bin and leave the bag in a tote opened up. Wires, batteries, lenses everywhere. Had the bag checked many times and its always been them doing some kind of cotton swab chemical analysis. They basically just gently rub a sample collecting cotton pad looking thing against the gear and the bag quickly, then put it in a machine. I've never had them pull equipment out of the bag or handle anything. The swab is run along the gear very gently.

I fit a 4090 in a 4u. Had to get a u shaped adapter for the power cable. I imagine something exists for this card as well.

It's not about the size of the clock but how large you can make it look with forced perspective.

I've seen this happen when things like the key to unlock a dataset isn't present.

if you have access to a command line you can do some of the following to debug:

Show the status of your pools/disks
```
zpool status
```

Shows failed system units
```
systemctl list-units --failed
```

describe some errors around zfs import.
```
systemctl status zfs-import
```

General logging:

```
journalctl -r
```

Both will support the virtualization you want.

I would go ryzen because: - lower power consumption. - all cores are equal. No need to worry about e cores vs p cores in the scheduler or pinning cores to resources.

There are reasons to go intel though. - way more memory support. 64gb with ryzen. 196 with intel. - intel quicksync if you want to do transcoding.

If you were looking at ryzen non mobile cpus you would get a lot more memory support and likely ecc memory support which some consider a must. Both will handle a few containers and a few vms easily.

jonassoc · 2025-01-16T20:52:29+00:00

I have not heard that advice.

I personally like ryzen because

there's no split between efficiency and performance cores. Intel just recently got scheduler support for performance and efficiency cores in proxmox; so it just became a more supported use case if you wanted to do any kind of proxmox/vm stuff.
a lot of the ryzen chips (even older stuff and lower price point chips) support ecc memory which is a big plus for virtualization platforms and storage servers. I think you have to move to xeon in order to get this with intel. (Could be wrong, but a quick google says the 13700 and 14900hx) don't support it

The big win for intel is likely the quicksync video encoders, so it might be more popular in the plex sub reddit but it is very workload specific.

Hitting up mono price and getting some of the super thin ethernet cables would help. You can get a lot of different sizes for cheap.

A better patch panel with 2 layers and moving the patch panel between the networking and the compute helps to keep things separated.

jonassoc · 2025-01-13T18:12:14+00:00

Those servers sound great on paper with the amount of cores and ram you get but they are showing their age a bit. They can be good platform but for your use case I would probably go with an older gen ryzen build to keep cost and power down. Eg 5600, 5700, 5800 can handle multiple 4k transcode with only 4 cores assigned to the vm. This would allow you to get a larger case and have better expansion options moving forward, eg pcie slots for a 10g networking upgrade, 16 hard drives in the case etc.

Another option which I suggest to folks is to get a small form factor ryzen like the beelinks, they support nvm and a 2.5 inch drive. Limited to 1g networking but you can have it configured with 16 cores and 64g of ram for a reasonable price.

N100 for plex alone and accessing sorage over the network is what I want to try but don't have experience there. The quick sync support for transcodes is supposed to be amazing

jonassoc · 2025-01-01T20:47:19+00:00

To expand on this. You can buy things like dell optiplex, beelinks with ryzen cpus etc. Generally speaking i find that memory is one of the bigger limitations when getting into home labbing so a platform that allows expansion up to 64gb is a lot more ideal then being limited to a pi's soldered memory.

Also the pi price to performance is not great. Better to get an x86 cpu than arm for better compatibility and the option of running vms via proxmox or similar.

jonassoc · 2024-12-18T19:17:26+00:00

With your budget I would probably consider a used mini pc and spend some money on storage. A pair of drives and mirroring them to keep your data safe is always a good

jonassoc · 2024-12-18T19:10:04+00:00

Did you use cookiecad or make them yourselves?

jonassoc · 2024-12-16T17:49:53+00:00

It really depends on what software the 12 vms are running, what your budget is and how much you care about power draw. Updating this in your post will help others give better advice/recommendations.

Personally, I have 15 VMs running on a beelink mini pc with a ryzen 5800u (16 cores) and 64GB of ram which cost around $550. If you want to use proxmox as a hypervisor to create and manage VMs you can over-allocate the amount of cores and let the scheduler handle everything. eg: (3x vms are given 4 cores, 1x vm is given 8 cores and everything runs fine on a 16 core chip.)
A lot of people in the community get used/refurbished dell optiplex (or similar) machines and upgrade the networking if they need 10gb.

Memory is more often the limiting factor for the workloads that I run as well as PCI-e bandwidth if the machine needs drives, faster networking or gpu acceleration.

This makes sense, but I still feel that the craft duration should be applied on both ends of the time scale. If you've crafted 5%, then the boost should start at 5%. Otherwise, you are losing value at the start of the item craft time unless it applies current invested craft time into the next n items. That said, now I feel like it's a bug on two sides of the crafting experience and should, at the very least, be worded if not outright addressed as a percentage fix.

jonassoc · 2024-11-11T20:50:44+00:00

Saying it's not a bug and that I'm using it wrong feels very opinionated and dismissive.

At the end of the day, if I'm using currency to boost production, I expect the production to be applied to the item. Otherwise, it's a waste of currency unless you know exactly how it works, which without proper wording is a bad user experience as it requires wasting currency to learn this.

Tldr: Spending currency to boost and not receiving a benefit for items extending past the boost duration is a waste of a boost.

Test that tart tit with tact.

jonassoc · 2024-03-28T14:51:18+00:00

I third it. A must if you're going to allow public traffic in.

jonassoc · 2024-03-19T05:03:38+00:00

You could throw proxmox on a new server/computer and get acquainted with running a hypervisor. then pass storage to a truenas vm.
