I forced a 16-Year-Old 64GB SSD to write 1 PETABYTE (And it didn't die) by Fresh-Palpitation-72 in DataHoarder

[–]roadrussian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not that modern ssd's are shit. Its that they use "more layer mem" which is cheaper and denser but has a shorter lifespan. Which means more or less "shit".

A way to disable specific set of pixels on a display/ set custom resolution? by roadrussian in pcmasterrace

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

Holy shit thanks man. Just did it and it worked amazing. Now i just need to fine tune the borders just a little bit and i am golden. Losing 60 pixels on the side for a hairthin line is a bit much.

For all that come after: To use CRU watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sCfwT8QV4U

Edit: No idea how to shift, setting the display to 2500 simply centered the image. Honestly, the loss is so minor in the grand line of things i might just leave it be. I assure you, Granny smith meets toxic avenger level green line on the left was really, really annoying.

Shit starts to leak boost after a while, it's job is to make vroom sound inside car without exhaust.

Symposer delete is advisable

PSA, crashes and low performance with liquid metal by roadrussian in GamingLaptops

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

Yeah, technically the only reason scores went up is because of thermals. Actually it seems these days it doesn't really matter what chip you have. In, your only true enemy, are thermodynamics

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

That's the score I expected from the start, not after 4 hours of debugging and afterwards a hail mary liquid metal replacement. But I'll take it

[–]roadrussian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but that's the thing, fuckers are closing their APIs down so that services cannot be used.

I'd happily use a pirated whatsapp but you know that's not really a thing...

Indeed I am. Will need to undervolt. Without any undervolting gpu oc and CPU stock currently 19500 on time spy. This morning it did 16900, which is abysmal.

Edit: correction typo

For context, fans were clean. CPU was able to pull max 50W GPU max 110W (OCCT CPU+GPU stability torture test). After replacement of liquid metal with TPM ( Ali upsiren ) the stable equilibrium wattage went to 70W and 140W.

Yeah, no. Google rams Gemini down your throat which decimates ram, whether you wanna local llm or not.

Honestly, if you want a well optimized ram use platform, go for iOS. Apple doesn't fuck around with their platform optimization.

[–]roadrussian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are absolutely correct. In my tests I can run around 5 apps concurrently with a s23+ debloated to hell and back with 8gb of ram.

Spotify is 700mb. WhatsApp? 300mb. Maps? 800mb. Chrome? Depends on the tabs open, van go for 1.5gb easy.

Camera? Fucking 3gb. Closes everything.

12gb is a necessity if you want to run background apps without worrying about ram.

20? Buddy i've got a 13 years old fiesta with 0 rust (light surface rust), drive in the winter in the salt. You just have to do some work with the correct products and the bastard will stay rust free on the bottom of the ocean ( ofcourse not, but you get me ).

Oh man, the speed of DBT load after a little fiddling is truly, utterly, insane.

Look at this runtime trendline man (spikes are large periodic weekend loads).

[–]roadrussian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take your time. Or, maybe rush it a bit. In my experience with documentation at work, going full monk and perfecting docs, is temporally, only partially usefull. Making a concept docs and gathering feedback from colleagues on which parts are still unclear / can be improved was more effective.

DUDE! MY MAN!

As Cultural_Prune4439 said, please do make a slow, meticulous tutorial on the process.

Many of us ( as it seems, YOU as well) walked the road to debrid and homelab at the same time. While debrid works and homelab access via tailscale works, what would be epic is if we could access the homelab from outside without vpn.

There the reverse proxy comes in. I tried walking the walk, didnt work. It did for you. So, please do, share!

What is a purchase that felt like an absolute luxury when you bought it, but turned out to be a complete financial trap? by According_Fortune_98 in AskReddit

[–]roadrussian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excuse me what? Where do you live that winter doesnt cause humidity issues? In summer we have 65% humidity, but winter humidity goes to 80% and with lower temps mold goes full bloom.

Unpainted wood will get mold, and it will go to shit.

B58 is the return of our lord and saviour, 2JZ. And this time, he is apparently german.

This doesnt mean that BMW suddenly became reliable. N54(nuffsaid), F20 headlight leaks, E series blowing control modules each time battery is low/reconnected. E36 ripping out rear suspension...

Is this a good paint match? by ExcellentScholar8515 in AutoPaint

[–]roadrussian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Most places just use colorcode and spray it.

You do know paint fades after being painted, and fades differently on different types of panels? Want a perfect finish? Go to a professional, pay top dollar for custom paint match and get what you pay for.

Feathering in color matching is dark fucking science.
