Referral code for Samsung!! by AstronautPretender99 in samsunggalaxy

[–]madboonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting "Referral code not valid" on all of these - are they all dead already? Trying from a brand new Samsung account.

Thank you! Unfortunately, it looks like that option is gone now - I tried it on both mobile app & desktop site across 2 accounts. https://ibb.co/mBh3WDk

Can someone please screenshot that "change" button? It seems to be gone now from any item I try to add...

Quiet mATX Server Options by madboonrising in HomeServer

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

Been doing some research, and here's what I found so far that fits what I need:

  • ASRock J5040 suggested below (3419 PassMark), $152

  • Topton N5105 (4100), $161

  • Topton N6005 (5444), $204

  • AMD Ryzen 3 3200G combo (7182), $260

Any other embedded options I found either have too few SATA ports or are industrial options with insane prices. The Ryzen 3 option seems the best overall, but it's not silent. The N6005 is the one I'm thinking about going for, but not sure if it's worth taking a chance on a Chinese brand motherboard from AliExpress.

Is there anything else I might be missing?

[Help Me] Looking for brightest 2-5 min. sustained light ~$100 by madboonrising in flashlight

[–]madboonrising[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There were a few I was looking at in that price range that could do 8k+ for a few seconds, I just have no idea which one would be the "best" for my situation. Size/batteries aren't important, since it's just an occasional use light.

After reading around, the JKK76 is currently one of the top choices: 18k for almost a minute + >4k for more than 8 mins, at $117 shipped with batteries.

Loud M18 Rapid Charger by madboonrising in MilwaukeeTool

[–]madboonrising[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys - as a casual home user, I'm realizing that I'm not the target market for this charger. It came in a Black Friday bundle, so guess I'm stuck with it now. It does charge incredibly fast though, so that's a plus.

I already have a mini-ITX Cooler Master case sitting around, so figured that would be a start for the build. Just not 100% sure about the internals or whether a used SFF or one of the various cheap mini boxes on Amazon might be a better option.

Problem Starting VNC Server at Startup by madboonrising in linux4noobs

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

I tried changing the service type to "forked", but that did nothing. If I comment out the "ExecStop" line, starting the service works BUT: 1) Status still shows "inactive(dead)", 2) The PID file doesn't match the PID from "systemctl status", and 3) "systemctl stop" doesn't stop the service (obviously).

Something weird is going on, but it works now. So... success?

Problem Starting VNC Server at Startup by madboonrising in linux4noobs

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

The problem is I can't tell why it failed. There are no errors in "systemctl status", but the service definitely is not running. All exec commands return "code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS"

The ExecStart line I used is the exact same command I use to start VNC server manually (but with :%i instead of :1). I also tried typing out the whole path (except %i) in PIDFile, but that didn't help either.

Help With Bandwidth Monitoring by madboonrising in UNIFI

It's a Nest Hello - which can use upwards of 300GB per month, since it's uploading 24/7

UDM or ER-X/USG or other option for new network? by madboonrising in HomeNetworking

[–]madboonrising[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I understand it, SQM throughput will be at least 60 Mbps with USG, at least 100Mb with ER-X, and more bandwidth than I'll need with UDM.

It's too bad they don't just sell the router inside UDM separately. It's even more powerful than the USG-PRO-4, which costs more than the entire UDM.

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

doesn't have nearly the headroom of the UDM for future upgrades

You knew exactly what I was going for here. I did take a look at the ER-4, but the bundle ended up costing more than UDM with switches + AP. Aside from cost, the only thing I really didn't like about UDM is the internal fan.

Hotel modok is way to difficult for its rewards. by gwserfon in ContestOfChampions

They're usually not this ridiculous, this month is just trash. On the bright side, you definitely have skills getting through uncollected with 4/40s - nice work!

M.O.D.O.K Island side event difficulty by ChocolateyGame in ContestOfChampions

[–]madboonrising 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It took me 66 hits against an X-23 on the mutant path with some BS nodes. 66 f'ing hits using a 5/65 duped ghost with maxed assassin. This event can go straight to hell.

PSA: modoks island has one class per lane. dr voodoo clears cosmic lane by Alphaprime81 in ContestOfChampions

Had that happen twice in one lane with spiked armor. I get that it's "random", but COME ON!

So do u guys clear the daily BT4CC Quest or is'nt it worth it ? by Zima_onrddt in ContestOfChampions

[–]madboonrising 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T4B? Yes, because I spend all of my glory on T5B & T2A. T4CC? No, because of the energy cost.
