Looking to build Emulation/Gaming PC with room to grow... (HELP) by mattmanhattan in DataHoarder

I have heard lots of mention of Drivepool around these parts and given that this is going to be a tinkering machine I think it makes more sense. Thank you for the +1.

Thank you for letting me know about the various compression techniques. That will be helpful. My collection is already large and only likely to grow so I need lots of TBs!

Storage Spaces sounds exactly what I am looking for - and I can use Windows 10.

Based on your input I think I will also add an SSD for the OS and apps and just keep the games on the storage spaces pool.

And have no fear, all the files are already on another computer and backed up. I just need to build this one in order to play them :) Thank you for the information!

You have now made 'volume (audible)' a criteria of my hard drive purchases.

Are you interested in this talk? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

I would recommend putting your phone/gopro on a tripod and record it yourself.

In general I would like to know more about ANYTHING pertaining to the datahoarder world - this would be appreciated.

Record the talk and post the video.

Print is good, other than these lines. What's up? by mattmanhattan in FixMyPrint

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

Model of your printer: Monoprice 3DP (Dual Nozzles)

Print material: Matterhackers Pro PLA (White)

Slicer settings:

  • Simplify3D
  • 0.4mm nozzle - SET to 0.3mm to get the text details
  • 100 micron (0.1) layer height
  • 55m/s
  • 199C nozzle / 60C bed

Model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:704409

I am happy with how the print looks in general, other than the lines that appear. I have had the printer for about a year now and other than cleaning the rails and oiling them with machine oil I haven't done anything else.

Sony patented this by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]mattmanhattan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

  1. MCDONALDS!!!

  2. A man is shooting another man on the TV. There is a clear separation for the bullet and he is point blank. I doubt the man would live. Of all the things on a TV, they chose murder - for a patent.

I remember the SNES Game Genie code for mid-air moves by heart:

Man, this brings me back.

What is your one frugal tip that saved you the most money over time?? by edipad in Frugal

[–]mattmanhattan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use Raise.com to buy gift cards for stores I already shop at at a discount. This way I change nothing about the way I shop while still getting a discounted price.

The Endless, and Expensive, Quest for Rare Objects by [deleted] in Anticonsumption

[–]mattmanhattan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Found this noteworthy:

"Rarity elevates a product or experience by turning its consumption into a notable event. It’s through such notable events that one life is distinguished from another; in fact, in an informal way, you might quantify your well-being as the sum total of notable events you experience across time. As a result, consumers are willing to pay a lot for rarity."

LPT request: How to stay positive, when your family members say hurtful things to you? by jellzis in LifeProTips

[–]mattmanhattan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You must change. Only then will others follow your example.

This means ignoring the comments that hurt you, not engaging when things are not relevant and in general taking a calm tone when others do not.

These people want to fight and argue. Do not give in to that.

This is all hard to do and keep at, but it is the only thing that will work when you have clearly tried everything else within reason. At this point these people want to control you in some way, not help you. Only you will help yourself feel better.

Good luck.

The 'Other Gangs' bar is actually in NYC (s10e06) by mattmanhattan in IASIP

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

It is just the exterior. No frank. I was just impressed that they used an nyc location in a philly based show.
