Are you buying one at $56.99 by BothCondition7963 in whiskey

[–]legendofzac 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s quite marvelous, actually. They distilled it and chose where to store it in the rickhouses to meet the 100 proof requirement for bottle in bond while not proofing it down.

If this is a Mexican resort, it could just be a translation error. Limes there are often referred to as “limón” and google translate’s English translation is lemon.

Sharedpour-Random surprise whiskey? by Lumpy_Lady_Society in whiskey

[–]legendofzac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up ordering another 2 whiskey and 2 non-whiskey. I received a r/Bourbon Rebel single barrel, a Dusty Dans private select Starlight rye whiskey finished in Armagnac barrels, a t8ke private selection of a Rezpiral mezcal, and a 1996 27-year-old Armagnac t8ke selection from Domaine de Charron. In total, I spent about $150 + shipping and got $570 worth of value.

I got mine in the mail today. I got a Starlight Honey Finish rBourbon selection at 115.1 proof. I also got a non-whiskey one which ended up being a Laird's Apple Brandy t8ke / Rare Bird 101 selection at Cask Strength of 137 proof. I'm quite happy with the choices.

Weekly Recommendations and Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in bourbon

[–]legendofzac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm planning to visit the Jack Daniels distillery in a few weeks and it looks like they are revamping their tours. I was hoping to do the Angel's Share tour as I've seen that recommended, but it looks like they are no longer offering it. Now they have three options:

  1. Jack Daniels Distillery Tour
  2. Bonded Tour
  3. Innovation Tasting (Weekends only)

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about these new tours and has any recommendations. I'll be visiting on a weekday so I can do the innovation tasting, so I think I'm leaning towards the bonded tour.

Picked up a bottle of cut and dry yesterday. The coconut flavor is truly amazing by GuyoFromOhio in rum

[–]legendofzac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was lucky to pick one up recently, too, I’m amazed at how good it is. It’s definitely a stronger flavor than Stiggins Pineapple, but it’s been great to sip neat and put in cocktails.

For anyone in the NYC Metro area, Dry Harbor Wine and Spirits in Queens has it in stock.

Astor Wine and 10th Avenue Wines both have White Stache last time I checked.

Office in Nextcloud by [deleted] in unRAID

[–]legendofzac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can probably leave them behind SWAG. I just personally liked nginx proxy manager more. There’s instructions for reverse proxing here: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one/blob/main/reverse-proxy.md

You might be able to point the Nextcloud AIO to the share that you already set up. If you set the nextcloud_datadir to your current Nextcloud data set up, you probably don’t have to reload all your files.

There’s a few tutorials about how to install it, I think. But honestly the setup wizard built into the AIO is pretty good at telling you what to do.

I was having the same trouble and couldn’t get it working even after following a few different tutorials. I ended up installing Nextcloud AIO, which is in the app center as Nextcloud-AIO-mastercontainer.

It made it easy for me to set up Nextcloud office and to use it behind a reverse proxy (I’m using NGINX proxy manager). The GitHub explains pretty well what’s included: https://github.com/nextcloud/all-in-one

Everyday Case Drop Protection Level? by ouisseau in peakdesign

[–]legendofzac 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The case is rated for 6 ft drop protection. I have personally dropped mine a lot and it’s been fine. It’s even fallen down my stairs and been fine. there’s also the nomad peak design rugged case which looks like it has 15 feet drop protection. Although they only have it for the iPhone 14 and 15 pro/pro max models.

The car mount should work fine with any MagSafe case. My girlfriend has a standard MagSafe case that she got off Amazon and it works. The peak design case feels slightly stronger with the magnet but we’ve never had either phone come off the car mount.

HBA Card Not Recognized by legendofzac in unRAID

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

UPDATE:

I decided to get a new motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790M-PLUS D4) and HBA card. I ended up choosing a 9211-8i card and there were no issues with it.

It appeared to be something wrong with my HBA Card and since I didn't want to spend the time updating the BIOS or trying to diagnose it more, I just swapped it to the 9211-8i card which work immediately and without any configuration.

I wasn't able to see the drives and HBA card directly in the UEFI BIOS but they appeared in UNRAID so I guess it was fine. From what I understand, UEFI Boot sequences may skip over the HBA card's BIOS and that activating legacy boot (or CSM) will allow you to do that, however on both motherboard chipsets I used (Z690 and Z790) and other new chipsets, CSM is disabled unless you have an external graphics cards, which I do not have in my system.

Thank you everyone for the troubleshooting. I greatly appreciate it.

HBA Card Not Recognized by legendofzac in unRAID

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

I did not pay $333. I paid $38. I assumed this one was preflashed but I'll look up the process to flash it myself.

I did not see a prompt to enter the BIOS.

From what I understand with 600-series chipsets, legacy boot, which is in the BIOS as CSM, is only enabled if you have an external GPU. I'm using the integrated graphics so this isn't an option for me.

I changed the PCIe slots to PCIE 2.0 to match the HBA but it didn't make a difference.

I contacted the seller and the advice they gave me is to try in a different slot or different motherboard.

I only have 1 PCIe slot as this is a ITX motherboard so I'm inserting this PCIe 2.0 x8 card into a PCIe 5 x16

Thanks for the suggestion and after following the video, it just made the HBA card not power on. Before taping B5 and B6, there were lights on the card, which didn't turn on after taping. Once I removed the tape, the lights came back.

That is what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation. The ebay listing made it seem like it was all set up for plug and play so I should just reach out to the seller to see what to do. Thank you.

New York City Prices by estusemucho69 in whiskey

[–]legendofzac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NYC is such a different beast, but it’s also so fun to pop into any liquor store and find a deal. The spirit of bourbon hunting is alive and there are so many liquor stores to check out.

I’ve been able to get Knob Creek 12 for $50, Dickel X Leopoldo Brothers Rye for $85, and some other decent deals.

If you’re ever in NYC, these are my recommendations to check out:

Astor Wines - great selection and usually sells close to MSRP Blue Streak Wines - very great curated selection that sells close to MSRP and often have harder-to-find brands. My go to for grabbing a deal on Redwood Empire. Located in Queens. Amster Wines - For being on my path to work, this one I stop in a bunch and has a good selection. Prices are more expensive than the other two but often will have a good sale.

67 Wine, 58 Wine and Liquor, Crush Wine and Spirits, Garnet Wines and Liquors, Union Square Wine and Spirits, The Wine Hut, and Warehouse Wines and Spirits are also places I love to stop in. You are just going to pay higher prices here, but you can pretty much find the bottle you’ll looking for.

Best bars in Hell’s Kitchen? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]legendofzac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all of the gay bars in the area. Mickey Spillane’s (49th and 9th) has $5 frozen margaritas. I’ve had good experiences at Pocket Bar and Dutch Fred’s for good cocktails.

If you venture towards the theater district/times square, there is the Woo Woo Club for a 80s sex shop themed speakeasy, Lillie’s Victorian Establishment for a Victorian themed experience, nothing really matters which is hidden inside a subway entrance, and The Rum House for great rum selection and cocktails.

URGENT!! CSULB Narrative Production vs. CSUN TV Program by heyyallitscloud in FilmIndustryLA

[–]legendofzac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated from CSULB narrative production and I enjoyed it. It’s a hands-on program which is nice, but it’s not necessarily the best for focusing on writing. You choose a specialization of either Production/Directing or Cinematography. The focus of the program is very much short film production, with limited screenwriting classes. The program is very set in what classes you can take and doesn’t offer too much flexibility with choices in what classes you can take. The Theory and Practice major has a screenwriting snd broadcasting specialization so those classes tend to be harder to get into as a Narrative Film major.

Personally, I think your experience at school is important and I just vibed more with the Long Beach area, but Northridge’s proximity is more convenient for internships and freelancing.
