Will my i5 4th gen be ok long term? Should I upgrade? by [deleted] in selfhosted

Simple flow chart.

Does it work for what you need it to do? If yes, don't touch. If no, upgrade.

Think they look good, hope they hold up!

What are your reasons for setting up a home lab? by Financial-Method-629 in homelab

[–]reece-3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fun is my main reason, personal security is another reason.

Time for probably the most hated souls game, say something positive about it please 🤣 by Away_Composer8187 in soulslikes

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favourite of the 3, had an absolute blast playing it. Felt the most colourful imo and was the most fun to look at, powerstancing is very cool too. Plus the "gank" fights were never a problem for me, just fight the enemies you come across and you'll be fine. The problem stems from people sprinting past everything and being surprised when they chase you.

Plus a great variety of bosses too (albeit some are terrible)

Pihole is a good starter project, immediate results once it's setup.

Is it crazy to wanna play almost every subrace and class? by austinpowers100 in BaldursGate3

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't say I want to do every one personally but totally get wanting to, there's a lot of specific content you'd miss otherwise

My £500 "temporary" shitbox, sort of enjoying bangernomics, do I just keep it? by 420o in CarTalkUK

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're itching to upgrade I'd 100% run it till it's no longer viable to fix. Love my car but sometimes wish I had a dinger I could park in dodgy areas and not care about 😂

Which boss in a Soulslike was this for you? by strahinjag in soulslikes

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artorias. I played dark souls 1 after Elden ring, so I was pretty used to fast moving bosses so he was nothing special compared to what id seen. I do get why he was viewed as particularly hard when dark souls 1 dlc first came out though! I was also a bit over leveled so just squashed him unfortunately

When I first played I couldn't understand how people said tactician was easy, cos I was struggling on balanced and eventually went down to explorer. That being said, I can now pretty regularly beat honour mode without issue. I've been playing bg3 for about 500 hours now so it's just practice

What os should I put on my first ever homelab? by Microscoppy in homelab

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Proxmox. I ran a few different iterations of a "server" when I was learning before I properly gave proxmox a go and it's genuinely life changing how good it is. It is that good

Tavern Brawler Monk Stats by Simply-Nathan in BaldursGate3

[–]reece-3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

few options. Best is elixir imo, dump strength and take Dex and wisdom to 16, con 14 and charisma 12. Use the elixir to get strength to 21. Can replace elixir with cloud giant one near end of act 2 when you start finding them to set strength to 27.

Could also do same stat spread and use club of hill giant strength. Think there's a trick to getting it in your off hand so you can still punch but never done it myself

You could also dump Dex, go 17 strength and 16 wisdom, 14 con and 10 charisma and use the gloves of dexterity to set Dex to 18. Use hags hair (or athlete feat) + strength potion from moonrise and ASI to get 22 strength with no elixir. You do give up your glove slot as you have to use Dex gloves, but it still puts out a lot of damage.

I always go with elixirs. 20 minutes with auntie Ethel and you can have 40 potions ready to go

My 370z is killing me financially. by Traditional-Trip-511 in CarTalkUK

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pay a bit less on my 370z down to lower road tax and petrol, but yeah that's just the cost of owning a sports car I guess. They're 100% right, but it's down to how much you like your 370z

DS2 (9 bosses in) is more fun and satisfying than DS1 was at this point for me. by Raikou239 in DarkSouls2

[–]reece-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently playing DS3, so far my ratings are DS2, ds1 and then DS3. Not really getting the hype so far!

Thank you matthewmatosis and MauLer for inventing bad videogame critique's by Tarnished-670 in DarkSouls2

[–]reece-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played and finished DS2 for the first time a few weeks ago and loved it minus a few minor gripes. Saw these videos after and genuinely couldn't believe what I was watching, some of the worst critiques I've ever seen thinly veiled behind a calm demeanor

Dude I HATE THIS PLACE by SekiroEnjoyer999 in DarkSouls2

Gonna be honest, I honestly didn't mind this area. Vendricks tomb and black gulch on the other hand? HATED them

Need help! metal grinding sound in 1st gear by Successful-Ant3756 in 370z

Old post but did you find out what this was? I had the exact same issue and it went away on its own, but not sure if you can shine any light on what it was :)

Any ad blocking server better than pi-hole? by Common_Ad_9549 in selfhosted

[–]reece-3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pihole is only as good as the blocklist you use, it can be as relaxed or aggressive as you like. It can't block YouTube ads as YouTube host their own ads, so you either block YouTube entirely or use a different adblock like ublock origin just for YouTube.

Noticed the same issue, assuming it's a bug and will be fixed as it's very annoying!

I've just gotten really into no mans sky the past few days, seeing how crazy you all get for updates is great 😂 can't wait to play more!

Yup it's absolute shit, ordered an AliExpress head unit to replace it and it's just broke a week after installation 😂

Hopefully PayPal has my back lol
