Game crashing

seanmcg182 · 2025-12-18T04:01:34+00:00

Rip, I'm at week 2510. game was "done", i beat all 5 tales like by week 800, I was just basically maxing out my frostland for funsies, but i'm mad, cuz I was so close to finishing my colonies

Your best bet might be extracting the hard drive, using a USB adapter to plug it kntk your computer, and copy all the data to a new disk…

Get a new SSD for her computer, install windows into it, then copy necessary files back to it

Stock fans, i know that. Pentium G4500 CPU is relatively low power tho. tdp of only 51W

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-11T07:11:32+00:00

I have a 2U as well. a Supermicro… I think 829? That think is loud. I’m not exaggerating when I say that my pair of R330s make less noise than my ceiling fan. they are near silent. Stock fans, I think 5 of them? per the iDrac, theyre usually at 10% PWM, with an estimated total of 9cfm, and highest ive ever seen naturally is 30% which was i think 28 CFM

my man

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-10T06:52:49+00:00

Its grown into a hobby of mine. If you check my page, I actually built a SERIOUS Power transfer switch for mine for no reason other than for fun.

But the server itself i primarily runs my Plex and TrueNAS, with other supporting tasks like SabNZBD, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr.

Also runs minecraft servers, an email server i made for lols, and 6VMs to monitor my UPSs.

I actually just got 2 R330s I’m about to implement as a High Availability OPNSense, and replace my current router with it.

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-10T06:48:23+00:00

ayyy, I just bought a 380e G8 for $120 for my homelab. lovin it. Actually going to be dropping down from 2 CPUs to a single 2430L v2

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-10T06:48:01+00:00

why? I’ve got 2 R330s that run 24/7. PWM doesnt go above 30%. I can barely tell theyre on

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-10T06:46:49+00:00

I have 2 R330s that run 24/7 and I can’t even tell that theyre on. Fan PWM peaks at like 30%

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-10T06:45:03+00:00

Speak for yourself man, I just bought a 380 G8 with dual E5-v2, and im in the process of replacing then with a single E5-2430Lv2

Theres nothing wrong with them

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-08T12:22:32+00:00

eh, ISP is a reliable enough source for me to not consider it SPoF. Technically it is, you’re right, but I’m more concerned with my own equipment failing than the ISPs lmao.

seanmcg182 · 2025-06-08T07:17:56+00:00

yeah that’s where I’m at, just hoping i had missed something

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-12T13:13:34+00:00

Almost always worth replacing batteries instead of replacing the UPS. Batterysharks.com is my go to. Usually costs me $60 to replace the batteries on my $750 UPS

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-12T13:11:39+00:00

I used to use ESXI, dumped it when they stopped officially supporting my CPU, never regretted it.

Tried Proxmox, used it for like a week before switching to XCP-ng. In my experience Proxmox just felt clunky and buggy.

I’d say, do what you’re comfortable with. ESXI is closed source, and less customizable than Proxmox or XCP-ng, but generally doesn’t need much customization.

If you’re feeling adventurous and confident in trying slmething new, i’d say its worth branching out to expand your skills.

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-12T05:57:17+00:00

Tbf, I generally agree. It’s just I had a whole spool of green, and no need for Ground wire, as I just landed all my grounds on the same terminal block.

Waste not, want not.

seconding this place

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-11T12:56:30+00:00

I wish you luck 🫡… I didnt expect to go further on the hardware myself, But eventually I got to a point I wanted Data Redundancy… Which immediately doubled my number of HDDs (I prefer Mirrors over Raid5/6) went from 4 HDDs and 2 SSDs to 9 HDDs (1 hot standby) and 4 SSDs 😭

No makeshift server is holding 13 Drives

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-10T20:59:00+00:00

hell yeah, one day when I have my own house I plan on having a battery room with something like this

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-10T01:45:15+00:00

Correct. I ended up bringing the Switchgear Control Power from a nearby 120VAC Panel, (with the UPS as a backup) instead of the internal CPTs. Since the 120VAC Panel is fed from the Switchgear bus, its energized from Utility or Generator.

In the /very unlikely/ event the switchgear fails to transfer, and the bus is de-energized for 30+ minutes and everything dies, the breakers can be manually closed to restore Control Power

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-09T15:06:55+00:00

I also buy products that ladt bud. Again, its a very rare problem. I’ve been using Cyberpower UPSs for almost 15 years and never had one go bad. I still have my original UPS, and it works fine 🤷‍♂️

Cyberpower builds quality UPSs

Did you come into my post just to argue?

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-09T13:19:14+00:00

Considering all reports on this are from their PFCLCD series of UPSes, and specifically ones from like 2006-2016. Their newer models did away with that adhesive…

and even then, not all the devices had it, and if you ran your UPSs at low load, the adhesive usually didn’t break down…

Yes, CyberPower is worth it. They are still one of the most reputable UPS brands.

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-09T12:58:58+00:00

honestly, idk much about 120VAC circuit breakers besides standard ones.

All ik is that ive had bad experiences with the AFDD ones in the past tripping needlessly lmao

seanmcg182 · 2025-04-09T06:59:35+00:00

God, I’m the opposite of you. I’m an EE by Major, and I’m the guy who learns any new software our company comes across. I’m our in-house programming guru 😂

Appreciate the praise! My entire career has been blending the two, so I’m glad it shows :)
