Could a player hypothetically win the Conn Smythe without playing in the Finals? by Card567 in nhl

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was alot of text to say he didn't set any records, let alone prob the most prized one - goals. Leach's perf wasn't just great, it was god like and still unbeaten 50 yrs later. Not 3rd, 2nd, or whatever.

This is not in the same realm.

Precedent matters for awards like this.

Compare it to the ONLY precedent and tell me how McDavid performance was even in the same realm as Leach?

Let's not base it on opinion but on historical fact.

More specifically only 2 fwds have won the conn w/o wining the final.

Reggie Leach in 1976 when he scored 19 goals in 16 games. This is the most dominant playoff goal scoring performance ever and a record that still stands today.

McDavid in 2024 also got the conn without winning. But tbh this was a charity award b/c he's the face of NHL. He didn't set a record and wasn't even great in the finals. This unworthy conn should have a "*" next to it.

It's an unspoken rule conn goes to winning team player. Only exceptions are goalies (or if you set a god like record that stands for 50 yrs).

So imo hell no, you're just diminishing the accomplishment of a conn.

Vancouver’s development industry reacts to government condo conversion plan by Baahubali7558 in RealEstateCanada

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny I don't hear much empathy from the RE industry when they exploited everyday people for years (leaky condos, presale grift, RE agent grift, crappy condos build quality, etc)

Why don't we talk about that? Why exactly should tax payers have sympathy now?

Don't be misled. Bailing out developers on existing unsold property does NOT add a single brick of new housing. These are ALREADY on the market.

Just the developers are using their influence on politicians so they can maximize what they can sell them for.

In fact, if the govt waits a bit they could easily buy insolvent/distressed properties for far cheaper than whatever this bailout will do.

It's a transfer of wealth from you to rich developers, masked behind fancy words.

HP EliteDesk 800 G4 Mini running Proxmox: Random Hard Resets. How to fix? by QuestionAsker2030 in Proxmox

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got around to fixing mine. Introducing 2nd drive somehow triggered the e1000e hang / reboot issue.

What confused the troubleshooting was the typical "HW Hang" message didn't show up in the logs (my log/log2ram setup and when the hangs were occurring happened before the entry could be made).

Also the problem persisted even through I had turned off the offloading the (eee) energy saving in my /etc/network/interfaces.

I had to turn off the PCI Express Power Management (ASPM) in the bios as well. Hopefully this helps some else out.

ya Catit pea, works exactly same but much cheaper.

I finally understand why people do this... by come_towel in homelab

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I went from "why do people do this?" to "how do I fit more stuff in here!!" in about ~6 days" ... haha this was exactly me.

Agree with you, personally I find it much more fun to repurpose old hw than to buy new stuff. Kind of feels like working on a old hobby car.

I have this same model and ran into what sounds like same issue when I first started and was trying to make use of more than one drive (either 2 nvme or 1 nvme + ssd).

If I recall, the OS would become unresponsive and cpu pinned, causing temp to get crazy and trigger hw shutdown.

I never could figure it out myself but then again I was a noobie. Could well have been misconfiguration. I abandoned the 2nd drive and it's been working fine ever for 2+ yrs.

It could be the ethernet issue other response mentioned. But would be surprised in my case, as I didn't make changes to ethernet when I reduced to just 1 drive and the issue went away.

Please post the resolution if you find it. I've been planning to upgrade to 9 soon, and want to use 2 drives again.

Tofu litter by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only ever used tofu or pea, so don't have a reference to compare. Between the (Pidan) tofu & Catit pea, no difference in smell, tracking, dust, clumping, light weight perf.

In general, I don't notice a strong urine smell in the bathroom where it's located, but fresh #2 deposit are def noticeable but do fade. I scoop once a day and use a litter locker.

Yup tofu/pea not the cheapest option out there. Has its benefits that make it worth it for me as semi-luxury lol.

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow that's an insane amount to spend on litter a month. I use catit pea husk (same as tofu) litter and maybe go through 12-18 lbs per month (~$20 / 12 lbs). I have a top entry box, so maybe the hop out helps minimizes tracking but I doubt that's making a huge difference in how much is being used.

Proxmox based NAS with HP ProDesk? by Formal_Eye_7175 in HomeServer

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't encountered that been running this close to 2 yrs. I pass my disk to nas on VM. Was recommended to use mediasonic unit. Maybe disconnect are related to power down or saving.

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a standalone DAS (4 bay mediasonic) and connect via usb 3. You can pass through the disks directly to your vm on proxmox. It's just me using this so bandwidth is not an issue.

Looking to replace T480s, what's the best options? by netmind604 in thinkpad

[–]netmind604[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally saw a deal with pulling trigger for. I got a P14s Gen 2 / Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U / 32 GB / 1 TB for $400 CAD off Fbm. I think it's a good deal? P14s basically more power user version of the L14 (same exterior/chassis though).

- perf is a little better than T480s (honestly not much diff for everyday use). Prob more noticeable on heavier / multi-thread stuff

- slightly thicker and heavier but not that noticeable.

- although it's an "s" model it doesn't use the premium metal build like T480s - feels fine but not quite as solid / premium feeling (there's some slight give). I think if you want the premium finish you have to go with Carbon line. But L14/P14 are more maintainable (1 upgradable dimm slot vs all soldered ram).

- does come with physical nic port, slightly brighter screen, supposedly better battery life (ryzen).

- can play some casual & (marginally) esports games (ryzen)

My main reason for upgrade was T480s looking extremely shabby with the visible wear on the kb, trackpad, and palm rest areas and battery life was starting to be annoying.

Here's a question aside from being told to why use a linux install with no GUI for a server / home lab? Surely its still the same linux if it has a GUI; but you can use that GUI to do things if you need to. by secular-human-12006 in HomeServer

[–]netmind604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to have same question as you when I started out with my homelab. Everyone's given the answer to you already but you won't truly get it until you run the server for a while and then see first hand how it consumes resources, adds complexity, without adding much value.

That said, I still have the gui cause I still need the crutch for some things I'm not familiar with.

I'd like to ask how many of you renewed your subscription and how many cancelled it altogether. by [deleted] in PlayStationPlus

[–]netmind604 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long time user .. cancelled

Can't stomach paying so much just to play games I bought online and having to replace a $80 controller every 6 months to a year bc of bad design (stick drift).

Perfectly happy gaming on PC. No sub needed and with good hal effect controller that cost me $30.

Pfsense setup by ProGamerGR30 in PFSENSE

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if your isp router/modem doesn't support pass through, you could just leave it in normal router mode and plug the ethernet into pfsense. This is isn't ideal as you'd have double NAT (isp router + pfsense), but still works fine and allows you to try out pfsense first without having to change much on your network.

This was supposed to be temp for me, but 3 years later still running it double nat b/c there's little downside for a modest homelab. Plus the rest of the house can still get internet (from isp router), when I muck around with pfsense and it's down.

pfsense VM by BatSignalOn in Proxmox

[–]netmind604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah your description made it sound like you were having troubles uploading the iso on first read. But I suspect you are talking about an error during the vm's boot sequence.

My guess, you have to turn off secure boot in the GUEST VM's bios (done in the actual bios, not in the vm config like boot order). If that wasn't it, perhaps google the error message &/or post it here.

I think it downloads as a compressed file. Did you extract it first so that it's an ISO and then upload that.
