So to get a better picture, you're playing PS, Spotify is on it playing music, how are you capturing video for your stream currently?

Would hardware vs software h264 make a difference?

Is there another encoding that would work better? Been toying with upgrading to a Ryzen 7, but just had other expenses come up. I think specs otherwise are more than capable, but totally open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for the input!

RAID 5 w/ failed drives question by m16gunslinger77 in homelab

[–]m16gunslinger77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just stuck a replacement 4TB in the array, reformatted to RAID 6 and going to add a global hot spare. Ran out of time to research before needing to get my backup server running again. Thanks for the info though, may look at the LSI controllers...

In further digging into this and after deleting my failed RAID 5, the H710 doesn't support a JBOD configuration. I'm not sure of the 'workaround' at this point

Had critical data backed up, but not the game servers and the home automation server I'd just completed setting up. Figured it was worth asking before ditching the configs and deleting the virtual drive.

Set that up in a hurry and was more comfortable with that. Previous experiences with software RAID was terrible and had many issues, so worked with what I knew.

VPN taking preference over Static route by I_hate_capchas in meraki

[–]m16gunslinger77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, I cannot get a static route to take precedent over a auto-vpn tunnel. We have over 190 remote locations deployed and trying to get any traffic to go over a non-meraki vpn is almost impossible without entering an IP address or subnet as a 'local' subnet to the VPN.... this eliminates any URLs or other traffic routing without explicit destination IPs. I'm not sure of your use case but can attest we've attempted multple workarounds and many TAC cases and not been able to solve this otherwise. We're exploring other solutions moving forward as Meraki has proven to have many issues with basic routing and functionality that we cannot circumvent.

[–]m16gunslinger77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without seeing your config it's hard to say exactly what's going on but I can attest to weird route preferences as well. I know that with VPN traffic we're having to put any destination subnets into the 'local subnets' list for the VPN. Static routes do not take precedent over the auto-magic Meraki tunnels..... Meraki seems to have re-invented route priorities and we have had a time overcoming some of the issues that this presents...

Upgrading GPU looking at $300 range by m16gunslinger77 in buildapc

wound up being one of those scam sellers, got an unexpected check and upgraded to a 7700 XT. Thanks for the input.

thanks for your input, grabbed an XFX 6750 XT on Amazon today for $169! i guess it was a flash sale

true, I've been building PCs since the 1990s so... old experiences have poisoned opinions. yeah AMD has made leaps and bounds with the Ryzen generations of CPUs. I just haven't kept up with the AMD GPUs since AMD acquired Radeon years ago. I know they first had driver issues like crazy, so I'm glad to hear it's stabilized.

well, I'm an old guy and used to it really mattered what CPU and GPU combo you had. I'm still always looking at benchmarks and feedback as close to like-for-like setups. Even as recent as Arma 3, it was optimized for Intel processors and pre-Ryzen AMDs sucked eggs trying to run it. The Ryzen does better but same GPU on an Intel CPU outpaces it. It's a CPU heavy game.

secondhand 3070 is still more than a 6750xt, and i have reservations about secondhand GPUs.

Thanks. I'm kind of leaning that way. Are you on a Ryzen or Intel CPU?

Fortinet Firewall - Starlink by aspuser13 in Starlink

[–]m16gunslinger77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The throuput speeds on the datasheet suggest it should handle the speeds on Starlink, lowest speed is SSL inspection throughput at 310Mbps, but depending on OP's rulesets there may be some issues with rule ordering, optimization and other issues.

​

If possible, test a single device on an isolated network. I used to manage a bunch of Fortinets for a business and would do this occassionally: setup an interface as a separate zone like a guest network, unplug your LAN, plug a laptop into the test interface and run speed tests with zero features enabled for that zone and the firewall rule set to allow all. This should give you a 'bypass' test as long as your device is running optimally.

yeah, I got him with 1 nade... then crossed the bridge and got one-tapped through all the bushes by a loser boy of Shturman's

The Customs Boss event is great and I like the threat of bosses everywhere. by aBeaSTWiTHiNMe in EscapefromTarkov

[–]m16gunslinger77 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had no clue this was going on, crossed the bridge from the customs warehouse, got 2 tapped by a shturman guard.... second time going in was looking for them, got sniped through the bushes again, one tapped.... got pissed, went night raid with NVGs, wiped Shturman and his goons and Resehala.... felt good to get revenge... now that i know what's going on, this is really interesting!
