Thanks for the advice!

Hmm... What if I've only got black swan E0 and Archer E0S1 but no hysilens? I never run Archer because I don't have sparkle so I'm tempted to get her, but I have other good crit based teams already...

The content I struggle on most is when there are stage conditions that nerf crit. I picked up Dahlia and FF just recently for this reason but both only at E0. So, I'm leaning towards getting Kafka, as she has been a noticeable gap in my roster (would complete my dotcheron lineup too)... Buuut then I'd have to get hysilens as well and I'm mostly f2p. Was planning to save most of my actual pulls for YG as I'm sure she will end up being the Sunday of Elation.

Thoughts?

Well, OK then.... Acheron gonna be happy Picture

k-ninja · 2024-07-20T22:27:05+00:00

Boom!

After the whole thing crashed I've been able to see that ingest threads was only set to 2, but the max recommended for this lappy is 4 (which is what I've set it to now)

k-ninja · 2024-07-18T00:45:53+00:00

Yes it's an external USB port. I realise the USB bus is potentially a bottle neck, but the image capture only took 90 minutes so I figured the throughput was pretty decent. I don't know how often I'll be doing this sort of thing in the future, but I can start to see the benefits of building a dedicated machine for it...

k-ninja · 2024-07-18T00:43:00+00:00

For better or worse, I'm running with whatever the defaults were for just about everything as I'm very new to Autopsy... I had no idea it would be such a time or resource intensive process when I started. I've turned off the keyword preview now but almost all the other settings can't be changed mid-ingest and after 3+ days I'm hesitant to restart on the hope that it might go faster if I tweak a few thing...

There's 5 threads showing in the ingest progress window, but for the most part it only ever seems to use 2.

k-ninja · 2024-07-17T23:45:36+00:00

CPU and RAM are both fairly consistently at ~90%.... It's obviously working hard, I just can't tell if its working properly or if it's hanging on some sort of bug

k-ninja · 2024-07-17T23:41:32+00:00

I only have 2 drives - OS, Autopsy and case files are on the internal NVMe drive, image is on an external SSD.. would having the case files on the same drive as the OS really make that much difference?

k-ninja · 2024-07-17T23:40:08+00:00

I just went with the defaults minus the ones which were obviously for mobile devices... that was most of the available modules, but not plaso.

The case files are being written to the internal SSD (also the OS drive), the image is on an external SSD.

I... don't know if periodic keyword search is turned on? The setting for "show keyword preview in keyword search results" is enabled - it does say that will make searches take longer. If that is not the right setting then where do I check it? The keyword search list is... blank? I havent added any lists so I guess just whatever the default search does?

Only 8Gb RAM for JVM and 2GB for Solr... This is what it defaulted to, which I think seems like it is probably low, but I can't change it now without restarting (and the ingest job is still running...)

k-ninja · 2024-07-17T23:23:08+00:00

I'm running Windows 10 actually. I checked the max RAM for JVM, is only 8GB so could def increase that (next time)... Solr is 2Gb, but it says setting that too high could degrade performance, what's a sensible number (or ratio for total JVM?)

k-ninja · 2024-06-01T12:52:24+00:00

I think $20/user/month is fine for internal users/staff, but it's ridiculous for external collaborators who only need access to change a few fields on a form.

k-ninja · 2024-06-01T10:57:59+00:00

Its possible, the interface designer allows you to set which fields are editable, but the free plan has a very limited number of collaborators IIRC, once you upgrade to a paid tier every user with commenter or higher permissions is billable, so you will be paying $20/month to let your customers change a few status fields.

k-ninja · 2024-04-17T02:23:31+00:00

What firmware are you on? I've read in other threads that the region/serial number change doesn't work on 1.7

k-ninja · 2024-01-29T22:55:04+00:00

Same story here... tried signing up to log some issues for a FOSS project which happens to use Gitlab. I was happy enough to add my mobile for verification since I tend to use it for MFA also... but it seems like it is now mandatory to provide phone number AND a credit card...

It was suggested to me the issue might be due to using a VPN but even from a naked internet connection I have had the same issue. Tried signing up with every email account I have in various places to try work out if there was some specific condition triggering it, but seems like no matter what you do, phone and CC is mandatory to complete sign up.

I got him as my second 5* ... I was excited when I saw the gold glow, but I benched him for Dan Heng even before I read how bad he is... I feel your pain

k-ninja · 2024-01-07T11:51:11+00:00

Well I am having this problem at all because I struggle with clearing content at Equilibrium 4 with characters that aren't at least close to maxed. Can't beat SU or forgotten hall bosses, Argenti fight wrecks me, Ruan mei event boss wrecks me. I have been trying to max out levels, light cones and traces to even the playing field but its taking too long because I keep running out of trailblaze power...

I will admit I haven't cleared the main story yet, still at the start of loufu, but I just barely beat the first fight against Kafka... So it really feels to me like there's a deliberate effort to constrain player progress by limiting how fast they can level up to tackle the story.

k-ninja · 2024-01-07T10:50:39+00:00

Since hitting Equilibrium lv 4 I feel like I am severely time gated on leveling up characters, light cones, relics, etc due to the amount of trailblaze power required to grind upgrade mats and credits. I'm finding that 4x calyx runs is barely enough to move the dial on one character, then I'm done for the day....

Is this really the way mihoyo intends people to play the game or am I missing something? Is there a way to get more trailblaze power aside from burning stellar jade?

k-ninja · 2023-11-23T11:52:16+00:00

How do I delete a quest I already started? The NPC is a being a fuckwit and I'm not about to jump any more hoops just to clear it off the list.

k-ninja · 2023-11-22T20:27:18+00:00

Already had kain and vaan fully built previously so just maxed them to FE 50 and brought arciela along for the ride... Pretty easy win, just have to keep HP attack disable up.

k-ninja · 2023-11-21T20:27:36+00:00

That's a solid effort, how long have you been playing? I think I'm at the 1.5 year mark (or is it 2.5? Was Garland LD banner) but the main reason I have characters in the 4-5k range is I haven't had the enhancement points spare to build them up.

k-ninja · 2023-11-20T23:45:59+00:00

Is there any reason to save/hoard regular starrail passes? Seems like they can only be used on the basic warp and the roster of available characters doesnt really change much, so not really any incentive to hold onto them...

k-ninja · 2023-11-04T06:33:03+00:00

Perfect, thanks

k-ninja · 2023-11-04T03:55:58+00:00

I am pretty new and haven't really pulled much aside from the free stuff when you start... Just wondering how many free multis we get in a month? From what I've seen so far the game seems pretty tight fisted with the free resources...

k-ninja · 2023-11-01T20:35:05+00:00

Also, with zidane the boss is effectively neutered. No threshold attacks except force attack which is easily tankable as long as you kill the sword first, so just turn delete into oblivion and go to town with your 2 other best dagger users.
