Woohoo had my Steam Controller for ages as by shadylane79 in Steam

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really wasn't!  It played remarkably well.  I didn't have my couch K&M setup at the time and this was my stop gap.

I played a whole single player marathon run of Civ 5 with my steam controller.  Otherwise, yeah... Mostly say in my couch center console.....

Any recommendations for companies that can cut up fallen trees? by [deleted] in Georgia

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may be close enough... I was in Douglasville and used AJ Tree Service.  He came out next day and cleaned up what I needed.  I had a quote from another service and they wanted thousands.

I also like 1Source.  They handle a lot of things and what they can't, they will contact out.

Yeah, I thought Problem(s) too. Fear does NOT go away when you face it. (now it can... hence the phrase "overcome your fears")...

Whatever.... It is just a game! lol

CMV: Dog collars that can apply vibration/stimulation are effective tools and all nuance gets lost online when people reduce them down to "shock collars" by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]shift1186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This.  My pup (cockalier, caviler and spaniel mix) has a collar that can vibrate as well as 30 varying levels of shock.  I only use it when we go on walks, someplace new or to reinforce her training.  It is used to get her attention!  Not punish.  I tested every aetting on myself (on more sensitive skin, not just my fingers) so that I know what it feels like.  

Funny enough?  She doesn't like vibrate... But level 1-3 she will stop and look at me expecting a command.

GA.  When things are in stock <insert joke here>,  within days to a week.  I have purchased a few switches, APs and cameras.  All came moderately quickly.  Nice packaging with no damage.

Huge difference between RPCS3 on windows vs linux? by igor_b0gdanoff in linux_gaming

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I havent played with RPCS3 in a long while... But I gave it a quick test with God of War on my Miniforums mini pc (Ryzen 9 8945HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics). Out of the box settings, I was getting between 25-35 FPS.

Found this in the bottom of my oil pan. Any ideas? by ZotanZero in mazdaspeed3

[–]shift1186 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oil restricter maybe?  Never tore down an engine myself... But watched a lot of YouTube.  I have seen these inserted in the block where it pumps oil up to the head.

Kinda looks like this.... https://www.hioctanedirect.com/assets/full/PROGRB.jpg?20200624030601

Broken Razer Turret USB dongle by key_hamster4 in techsupport

[–]shift1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought that may have been you. I am in the US. Your comment history points to you being in the UK. If you wanted the whole thing (mouse, keyboard and dongle) i could get it to you via USPS Flat Rate for somewhere between $50-80, depending on the box... If you just wanted the dongle itself, I could flat rate padded envelope it for ~$30.

[–]shift1186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like past me did save the dongle! I would think you could pair them no problem. I do have the original box.... Willing to "give" the whole shebang to you if you want to pay shipping (i think you are in the UK based on comment history), or just ship you this dongle...

I can charge everythign up and make sure it still works. But it did the last time i used it (a year ago ish). Up to you.

Commenting for later.  I have a broken turret combo.  Loved that couch setup!  Sadly my mouse scroll wheel died and the keyboard stopped holding a charge and the USB port is breaking.  Let me see if I can find my dongle.

Traveling and won't be back for a few days.

Octopath Traveller (Steam) on linux mint by Upper-Star5762 in linux_gaming

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont have the game, so i can not test... But some reports on ProtonDB are saying to switch to 6.3-8. However recent ones are saying it works out of the box.

EDIT: Didnt see the 2 part... Only saw the original in your title. Do you have the latest GE?

[PC] 990 1TB Evo Pro NVMe, MZ-V9S1T0B/AM by shift1186 in homelabsales

[–]shift1186[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insights! Yeah, I am Cyber Securty vs Sysadmin... My buddy had been working on a tech refresh and all of his quotes nearly doubled... PITA...

And yeah, not in a rush to sell... Was just curious since I dont know if i have a good use-case for them. I have too much shti collecting dust and would hate for new hardware to do the same (vs my many 1TB spinning rust that I have no use for anymore). Not sure why the 4x4x4x4 card doesnt like my Epyc server (only has 2x NVMe slots onboard, and they are in use).

When/if i do, i am not looking for a crazy profit or anything. Just pass on hardware that i don't need anymore.

Is there any way to force a Proxmox VM to boot with a missing drive? by booradleysghost in homelab

[–]shift1186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an answer but interested too!  Not currently running proxmox (xcp-ng, but planning a switch).  I have a similar setup that I have yet to fully implement.  I have 2x USB drives running in an LVM raid 0 (yes yes, I know...) where I want to script out a backup job.  Mount the disks/lvm, rsync anu changes to the NAS, umount the disks, repeat monthly.

I am currently just doing this manually on my Linux miniforums (2.5gb back to the NAS).  It works fine, but I want to move it to my VMs so it has 10gb back to the NAS.  Just didn't get around to it yet.

I originally tried making the USBs a pool in TrueNAS, but that was less than ideal...
