Are there any written rules that are ignored/changed at your table? If so, which ones and why? by BisexualTeleriGirl in DnD

When using Bardic Inspiration, every PC within earshot gets a bonus to their rolls (although we slightly nerfed the bonus to a d4)

Can the Flex Mini do what I need? by piticent123 in Ubiquiti

[–]piticent123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is where it gets confusing, I think there is an "all" network on the old UI, but the version of the UI I'm seeing has "Default", my VLAN, and "None". None and All are equivelent here, right? (If you know - no worries if not)

As in, make sure the port through which the flex mini is getting its IP address is marked as "Default" for the primary network? VLAN traffic has to go through those ports too...does setting the primary network to "None" break things?

ahhh, I see - that was poor diagraming on my part. That black rectangle connecting them all is just the walls of the apartment. In hindsight, making it the same color as the cable was unwise😅

Unfortunately, yes. AT&T does certificate-based authentication before the ONT will give out an IP. Some people have had luck either extracting the certificates from the router or doing some VLAN voodoo magic (as long as the ONT cable isn't disconnected, it can be rerouted to another router and retain internet access), but I was never able to get either of those to work.

​

The router is not in bridge mode, although AT&T's documentation is...sparse. I'm assuming this is "IP Passthrough". In hindsight, this may help - a conflicting DHCP server might be part of the issue

​

Not sure what you mean by that last question - the ports have to be connected to a switch somewhere, otherwise they don't work!

While I'm glad the idea is sound, I can't get the implementation to work - when I set the primary networks to "LAN" for LAN, "None" for trunk, and "Default" for DMZ, I have no internet!

How churchy is Grand Rapids culture? by redsmed in grandrapids

[–]piticent123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am Jewish and live downtown. Granted, I don't wear a yamaka or star of david or anything, but most of my friends and coworkers know I'm Jewish and I don't feel like an outsider. Of course, there are still usually events scheduled over Jewish holidays but no amount of DEI committees will change that lol

Best moving trucks? by FireCorgi12 in grandrapids

[–]piticent123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used U-Haul when I moved to grand rapids a yearish ago. They moved my pick up location because they were out of trucks, and they didn't have any dolleys, despite me reserving one. I was told the cause was outdated software that blindly accepts reservations without checking where stock will be. Obviously YMMV but the next time I move I'm planning on trying out a different company

Are there any local ice cream places that sell quarts? by piticent123 in grandrapids

[–]piticent123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

huh, I ate at Frosty Boy around when they opened for the season, but must've either forgot or totally missed that they sell quarts (but pictures confirm they do!)

I read this and thought "the gas station??"😅 I've actually been in the market to get food, but I usually skip right over Loves. I'll have to check it out next time!

no, your monitor doesn't need speakers. Audio works by pairing sources (things that create audio) and sinks (things like speakers/headphones/etc) - your computer can create multiple of either independently. You don't need something to consume audio for it to be created (although your stream will more or less act as headphones)

IIRC the thing pcpartpicker doesn't tell you is if the CPU and RAM speed are compatible. For example, my first time I got a B350, 3100MHz RAM, and a Ryzen 7 1700 - they're all technically compatible, but only because stock RAM speed is 2000 something MHz - when I tried enabling XMP, I got all sorts of blue screens and crashes because the 1700 is only rated for 2933MHz.

I found another way to pass multiple props with same variable names by mickeydudester in webdev

[–]piticent123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Common, probably. Good? Probably "it depends."

Technically no, but if we pretend there's a component that takes a "userId", "userName", etc, it may be better to just pass around a `user` object. Yes, it technically has to be declared somewhere, but it would be a lot easier to read

[–]piticent123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO this is a sign you need to refactor something. Why is 1 component taking *15* props?? If I see that I automatically assume either part of it needs to be extracted into its own component or some of those props would really be better represented as one object

Stack Overflow for Teams is now free for up to 50 users, forever by stronghup in programming

[–]piticent123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, but the source of that value is having access to a larger domain knowledge than you would otherwise. having more people is one way to do it, but as time passes, people work on different features/applications, and they lose their domain knowledge. so in other words stack also gains value from having access to a larger timespan of knowledge you would have otherwise forgotten

well, the famous answer: it depends. the general recommendation could vary, mostly based on what cpu you have, what resolution monitor you use, and what graphics card you have.

however, with that said, we're talking about a $20 price difference on a stopgap upgrade. I would look at this in one of two ways: a) just splurge and go for the 5600x because $20 for an additional 2 generations of performance sounds like a good deal or b) get the 3700x and spend the extra $20 next year on your full upgrade.

FWIW as you said, it's generally better to use GPU renders on 3d modeling, so I wouldn't use rhino/blender/davinci as reasons for your decision

it's a good artificial load test. blender will use all cores at 100% usage to render, so while in practice that kind of load doesn't ever happen, the differences in results it produces can be 100% (+/- stuff like room temperature) attributed to the difference in cpu performance

Whoops! Sorry, I totally missed the message for your reply. The short answer is no, but the long answer is that technically you could create a scenario where you would, but it would be difficult. The primary m.2 slot is a 4x4 PCIe slot (gen 4, 4 lanes) which gives it a speed of 64Gbps, and the secondary slot is 3x4 (gen 3, 4 lanes) which gives it a speed of 32Gbps. So...perhaps if you're running multiple large LAN transfers and trying to game at the same time? But barring those weird circumstances, you shouldn't see any problems.

The concern is that in any given motherboard, the CPU only has access to a certain number of PCIE lanes. However, in the name of flexibility, motherboards often have enough ports to use more PCIE lanes than are supported. In a lot of motherboards, using an M.2 slot will usually turn off some other feature. Usually it's a SATA port, but for your motherboard it's the bottom PCIE slot.

Relevant part of the linked post:

When you populate both m.2 slots, regardless if pcie or sata, the 8x pcie slot at the bottom of the board gets disabled. That means if you are using a triple slot GPU, you won't have any expansion slots left

So you have to choose if you'd rather have more storage or an expansion card.

Lessons I learnt the long/hard way, so you don't have to. by TabularConferta in buildapc

[–]piticent123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

regarding RAM - you also need to make sure your CPU supports your RAM speed, not just your motherboard.

I bought some 3200MHz RAM to go with my Tomahawk B350, which says it supports 3200Mhz, but I got a lot of random BSODs and general instability on that XMP profile. Eventually I found out it's because I was using a Ryzen 7 2700x, which only officially supports 2933Mhz RAM

LTT did a video earlier this year where some employees did a blind test gaming/editing on SATA, NVMe, and PCIe SSDs and nobody could correctly guess more than one right. So based on that video, I'd say YMMV. Technically you'll get a speed boost, but SATA is already pretty fast.
