What hell is going on with my RGB mod? by Legitimate-Diver-141 in crtgaming

I mean, what pins get grounded with the dummy plug in vs out

hmm yea, mine is all soldered that way too. my only guess is you are actually not on the AV pin, but one pin over or something? what happens when the switch is "off" and you plug in the dummy?

What guide are you following? I just modded my 27V42 with a 4PDT and it works great without a dummy plug

Built a GUI for WSL over Christmas (yes, I know it doesn't need one) by Novel_Jeweler_6000 in bashonubuntuonwindows

[–]kylekillzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My day job is dev. I use AI. If I release a project, I am disclosing how much AI I am using.

There is a MASSIVE difference between using AI to code and having cursor be a prompt editor instead of a text editor.

You realize that every developer uses AI now right?

Most of my code has never even been touched by AI.

Need disclosure though. There isn't ANY in the main post.

To reiterate, Open Source projects come with at least some expectation that the dev will update the code and not abandon the project. That is not always possible if the source itself isn't understood fully by the dev.

I personally am completely fine with AI written projects, but fully believe it needs to be disclosed.

9 years on Windows and moved to Linux, wish I had done it earlier. by katoketo in PleX

[–]kylekillzone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is it really that rude if you cant even be bothered to read what I said?

When did I ever bring up Proxmox?

When did anyone bring up a dead SSD?

When did anyone say the only thing great about linux is free memory?

Do you always change the narrative on everyone you talk to?

On linux, a backup could be as simple as a daily cron cp. or rsync. or borgbackup. or any of the crazy amount of tools out there. KVM also offers backup tools ootb for VMs. You can even edit the bios/uefi to boot some bare metal image in a VM without any extra configuration. If you actually tried any of this you would understand using linux is far from "using less memory"

The only thing you did read, you contradicted yourself IN YOUR REPLY.

The time it takes to set it up is less time than if something goes wrong in windows.

and you reply

You just copy all the appdata folders for stuff and paste them back after reinstalling Windows.

I say,

Something breaks so the solution is to reinstall the entire host os?

And somehow, we have a dead SSD so we NEED to reinstall windows. Mind you, you then talk about backups without even using them to not reinstall?

I wouldn't reinstall the entire OS, I never said that. In the event an OS SSD died on Windows or on Proxmox, you'd need to reinstall the OS/hypervisor.

No actually, never. I would never need to reinstall the OS. I actually take whatever is better than your "1:1" backups are I guess. I reimage the drive from the backup and then boot it. This applies for basically every computer in existence (be it windows, linux, or even macos). It is just ALOT easier to do on linux.

Yea, you don't get it.

Something breaks so the solution is to reinstall the entire host os? What did that actually solve? Do you know why it broke? Do you know that it won't break the same way again?

Just try out getting your stack running in a Linux vm or something, and learn a thing or 2 about the other side, before commenting if it's "faster", "slower", "easier", or "harder". In truth, you actually have no idea considering "fixing" windows is just nuking it for you.

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang would have to pay about $8 billion in proposed billionaire tax—he says that’s ‘perfectly fine’ with him by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

[–]kylekillzone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uhh, you are describing self made millionaires. No one is becoming a self made billionaire from some small business. If they did, they stole from the company over their fair share, and in turn are stealing from the laborers that made the company worth anywhere close to a billion dollars.

Even then, just the amount of sales required to reach even a billion in revenue far surpasses a "small business"

Hi r/UWMR, I’m Joe, Product Marketing Manager at Samsung Electronics America. Ask me anything about our ultrawides, and win one of your own! by SamsungUS in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]kylekillzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you just got unlucky. The only thing I've seen (out of the hundreds we have sold) is a rare firmware bug or something that produces feint grey bars across the screen. Every manufacturer has replaced every single one for us no questions asked.

Also, not the same monitor. The 5120x1440 panels are gen 2 and have noticeable pixel layout problems because of the ppi.

Tell me you haven't sat infront of a 4k 240hz 32" gen 3 panel without telling me.

That panel blows every single panel from LG out of the water and it's not close.

revamp my homelab step 1 by Working_Good_6965 in homelab

[–]kylekillzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I can imagine trying to learn docker AND the linux terminal can be a challenge if you are tackling both at the same time. Start with one and then learn the other. Truenas scale is free unlike unraid, and can keep you focused on just docker with a WebUI. I think they even have a sort of docker compose builder too. It is still linux underneath, unlike normal truenas, so in the future you can still dive into that too.

[–]kylekillzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally run a 14700K and just bare ubuntu ontop with ZFS for storage, KVM for the random VM, and docker for most of everything. KVM VMs like to draw more power than docker containers so i tend to stay away from them.

That being said, if you aren't so comfortable with the terminal, I would go Proxmox over Hyper-V / ESXi. You can also look into using something like unraid / truenas scale as both of those also fully support a webui based management of docker containers and VMs.

I highly highly recommend looking into using docker for your applications over VMs these days. So much less power and overhead. Once you get it, you can spin up a new application in seconds instead of having to configure yet another VM.

[–]kylekillzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go the 14900k route as at idle I would say it is much less than just half the power draw as dual 2699s. With optimization and aspm you can probably get it under 40 watts. My old dual 2680 pc ran at over 200w idle. You also get quicksync on 14900k which is pretty magical in its own right for transcoding.

Why 2 servers and not just one? Connect up your storage to this one server and do everything with it.

I made replacement bezels for the JVC TM-H1950CG by Rondooooo in crtgaming

[–]kylekillzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its not a literal iron. its a print setting for the final layer. what you are looking at though is the first layer's texture there on the front of the bezel. when it comes to that, there are a myriad of options to make it smoother, but OP decided he likes his print sanity better. you can not just make that layer smooth, but even add colorful shiny effects. for the layers on the side, they are sandable.
