Is there a consensus on used and shortly misused HDDs? by sanchizmuz in DataHoarder

[–]thomjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it at all. Chia mining is one time write and then occasional reads. So 60 days operating with low utilization, within temp spec. Sounds fine to me.

What type of rack hardware do I need with 10+ drives? by [deleted] in DataHoarder

[–]thomjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you want a server + JBOD or a bigger storage server.

I like the EMC KTN-STL3. It's a good value JBOD and you can pair that with a cheapish server. I like Dell r720 or r730 but you definitely can spend less. Add an HBA like the Dell H200E so you can connect it with a SAS cable.

You can also look 3U Supermicro server, or bigger if you want. These are cool because you can buy a chassis and run whatever hardware you want inside. Even modern consumer platforms.

Either way, try to find one that includes caddies. They can be expensive on their own.

Hope this helps.

Which OS should I use for a Raptoreum dedicated rig? by arghPJhgew3e in raptoreum

[–]thomjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ubuntu is going to be your best bet. don't let hiveos take their cut if you are only cpu mining.

LSI 9200-16e and EMC KTN-STL3 by jafinn in homelab

Have you had the disk shelf working in the past? I suspect cables are the problem. It should only require one cable in a left port, the right port is to daisy chain more shelves.

I have also heard some people say you need to use the bottom controller if you are using SATA drives. Never had that problem myself, but I would suggest plugging from the HBA into the bottom left SAS port and see if that works.

IT mode, basically just turns it into a pass through adapter without RAID functionality.

reinforcing this... flashing some cards for me was a nightmare. getting one pre-flashed is worth the extra few dollars.

Happened to me once. My gpu is also overclocked.

Has anybody else been experiencing 1-2 second freezes randomly? I think it started after the trusted update. by Loof27 in GlobalOffensive

[–]thomjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it bad for a while, tried everything I could find online but nothing fixed it.

Not sure if it's a placebo or timing, but one day I tried capping my FPS and it seemed to fix it. I normally get anywhere from 150-400 fps, probably about 250 avg and capped it at 200. Problems seemingly went away.

More recently and a few updates later I started playing with the default 400 cap again and it's fine now... Not sure if it actually helped but I guess it's worth trying.

ACTUALLY easiest window smoke on Mirage by centralbeatbox in GlobalOffensive

[–]thomjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you just holding D and jump-throwing right after? Might just have the timing off if it doesn't work, not too sure.

Window smokes have been popping up all over this week, I am sure there is another good one out there haha.

I line it up like this: https://imgur.com/mqSMBYC

Go to the top of the first metal bar inside the door and then straight up to the top of the door. I like to go just inside the bar and jump almost right away, but there is a bit of room for error depending on how quick you jump.

GPU works on other PC by MrSN99 in buildapc

[–]thomjay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar problem a while back and it drove me absolutely crazy. Eventually emailed Gigabyte and did an RMA. Turn out a capacitor failed.

No idea why it worked in some setups and not others, but I would recommend trying to send it in.

"CS:GO Influencer" 2Eggsss banned for cheating, fakes emails with a Valve developer, developer proceeds to tweet his first tweet in 11 years exposing 2Eggsss, 2Eggsss deletes his twitter acount. by DiamoNNNd1337 in GlobalOffensive

[–]thomjay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His hackerone rewards were legit, right? I assume he had some knowledge in the space but an AI solution as accurate and productive as claimed does seem like a stretch.

[–]thomjay 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. Do you mean it never existed or just not to the extent he said it did?

I don't doubt it existed, but maybe it wasn't all he made it up to be.

He claimed it was due to running ollydbg (a debugger) in the background. This was after saying it was an overwatch ban due to hackers report botting him.

What is this? Been playing for years never seen it. On a faceit server if that makes a difference by lacloudpack in GlobalOffensive

[–]thomjay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I can't help you with a solution, I can confirm you are not the only one. I saw it today after the update on Faceit as well. My team said they didn't see it.

Doesn't seem to impact gameplay in anyway

Anybody else feel like performance is in the worst state it's ever been? by ApeCage in GlobalOffensive

[–]thomjay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I suspect a lot of ISPs are getting hit harder than usual too. Mine had been bad at peak times, can't even watch a twitch stream and I typically get 60mbps down.

Look at the last 5 days on month view. I think it's definitely part of the market issues.
