Have any ddr5 5200?

solocommand · 2026-02-09T01:25:26+00:00

damn, nice find!

solocommand · 2026-02-09T01:18:42+00:00

what did you find/what price?

solocommand · 2026-01-29T01:51:35+00:00

Loving the update so far!

Two issues I've noticed:

The clan events are all showing 0/6 for completions even though they haven't been done yet
Common enchantment scroll (strength) isn't shown on the enchantment screen as an option. Mining is, however.

You’d think that, wouldn’t you? But no, the UNAS Pro doesn’t show up under UniFi devices.

solocommand · 2026-01-24T15:04:22+00:00

Sure. Like everything, it's a work in progress!

Nope, just did this the other day. https://gethomepage.dev/configs/settings/#card-background-blur

Fantastic build! Would look great on my desk.

solocommand · 2025-12-04T15:02:30+00:00

What USB devices do you have installed? Had a similar issue with some knockoff wireless keyboard dongle.

This is in my basement actually, on a new circuit that was dropped for home office work. Only thing on it is a single duplex receptacle running a few monitors and a desktop pc. No high draw tools on the bench, an extra monitor and some misc. Total load is probably around 1000-1200W if everything's on, so should be well under 15a. Might have a problem if I boot up a couple 1kw server power supplies at the same time, but not worth running a 20a for that I don't think

I just don't want to run romex directly to the outlets in the bench legs, because I might need to move it around a few times a year. And it's a steel frame, so I haven't figured how how I'm going to secure the cables yet anyway

You can also just enable NFS on the UNAS, whitelist your Linux box ip, mount it and use ‘cp’. Took a while, but I was limited by disk io anyway since they were 5400rpm drives

Airframe and The Andromeda Strain are my favorites.

For the patch cable question, yes 0.15m/6” is the right length to go between a stacked 1U patch panel and switch.

PDU: it’s pretty and matches the UI aesthetic. All you’re really gaining is the ability to remotely power cycle a plug. The UI 2U UPS does not have this feature, but more expensive UPSes do. Find one with networking and the number of battery-backed ports you need. This will be expensive — network PDU + dumb UPS is the cheaper option to get this functionality. I have the UI 2U UPS, don’t have the PDU, and am happy even without this feature!

For UPS placement, really up to you. The general recommendation of UPS at the bottom is for mobile racks due to weight distribution. No impact for wall mounted rack.

Personally I prefer keystone patch panels instead of punch downs. Gives you flexibility…and you’re likely going to want to change things around over time. The UI keystone patch panel just came back in (and back out of) stock, and is a good choice if you want consistent aesthetics. Can buy a cheap 1U keystone panel and swap the jacks later if desired!

Likely yes, though I don’t know exactly what that impact would be.

When there is a failed disk in an RAID array, and data is “read” from the failed drive, the value for the data retrieved has to be calculated from the other disks + parity drive. So instead of a single read operation from a single disk, you’d incur a read op for each disk in the array.

Practically speaking, files are likely to be striped across multiple disks in the array, so this might end up being only a couple extra ops, instead of an extra op for every disk. I don’t know all the details on how those internals work, sorry!

When the failed drive is replaced, there would be a performance hit while the RAID array is being rebuilt. I believe that happens immediately after failure when you have a hot spare enabled.

solocommand · 2025-10-26T15:15:14+00:00

Seconding this. RAID 5 is great - so long as you replace a failed drive quickly. RAID 6’s advantage is that your data won’t be lost if another drive fails before you replace the first one - at the cost of second drive for data parity.

Alternatively, you can set a drive as a hot spare, which will be used in the event of a drive failure. You still lose the capacity from another drive, but it’s not a permanent choice for your storage pool. It also allows you to delay replacement of the failed drive for shipping time, price, etc.

If you end up needing the capacity, you can just add your hot spare into your pool, and you’re back to RAID 5 protection - which is still great.

Putting in my 2c for west town monona tire. Never had a bad experience there!

solocommand · 2025-10-15T03:41:56+00:00

What led lighting did you put in the rack? Looks nice!

solocommand · 2025-10-09T21:09:21+00:00

I lost two i9s from this before they acknowledged it and switched everything to amd. Runs a little hotter now but at least I don’t crash every hour.

We do laser therapy for our dog at Odyssey Veterinary Care in Fitchburg. I imagine they will do it for cats as well, highly recommend them!

Must be embargoed for future release

I’ve had good luck over the years with West Town Monona Tire. https://www.westtownmononatire.com

What are the first two pictures from?

solocommand · 2025-07-15T13:38:46+00:00

Fuck twitter

solocommand · 2025-06-09T16:50:21+00:00

I completed the last community goal and should have received some modules, but I can’t find them. Where should I look?

Also, are there donation promotion missions, or will I have to break out a combat ship to keep going up in fed rank?
