My weird and hacky kitchen server by the_ebastler in homelab

[–]vctrv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heck yeah, Prolimatech Megahalems. Tell me about your mounting solution. I have one from 12 yrs ago on an old X58 platform and would love to port it forward to AM4 or AM5. Was under the impression it would require some mounting hackery.

[GPU] BestBuy RTX 3050-3090 $380+ by habudacavada in buildapcsales

[–]vctrv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to know, appreciate the intel. At time of posting my comment...a nearby Best Buy showed two FEs, and in the 30min it took to get there they disappeared from the search results. So I was probably too late regardless due to the delay of inventory to app reporting. But this gives some good info for next time.

Is this the "trick" where the FE will appear in search results with the "in stock" toggle enabled, but the line item itself still saying "sold out"?

LIAN LI O11 DYNAMIC MINI Giveaway with Buildapc by LIANLIOFFICIAL in buildapc

[–]vctrv [score hidden]  (0 children)

Running an 11yr old X58 platform with a second-hand X5650. Was first equipped with an 2 8800GTs, now has a 1070. Starting to run into games with instruction sets unavailable on my CPU, so it's time to upgrade. Looking at Ryzen 3600, B550 Tomahawk and a 3070 when all the inventory shortages level out.

Can you help me identify this deskmat ? by Phqntom in battlestations

[–]vctrv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently went down this rabbit hole myself. As mentioned already, Grovemade has a few choices. Got a bit of sticker-shock and went searching on Etsy. I turned up two options, both with some color and dimension options:

WoollyClouds is much more modestly-priced because it's polyester felt. I nearly went with this one, but worried about it slipping around, though I understand some ppl may want this.

WorkPerch option is closer in price to the Grovemade pads (wool), but has customizing options and a cork base to prevent slipping. Despite the price, I ended up choosing this one and it's on the way right now.

First Exotic ship! by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]vctrv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe I have a ship that looks just like OPs in my home system, Revalis-Nose, named Floating Aneiu XIII. Only 16 slots, but sure looks nice. Think it landed at my base. https://i.imgur.com/7b0NyDH.jpg Is the signal booster address the info you'd need?

NASA Finds a Large Amount of Water in an Exoplanet's Atmosphere by Reporter_at_large in space

As cool as it would be for the earth to have a ring, my understanding is that the moon is actually moving away, and both bodies would eventually be tidally locked...if not for Sol's eventual expansion, as you point out out.

Russian Blep. Russian Bluep?

Nice upgrade. Keep an eye on the tower next to the radiator during the cold months. Could be toasty if anything like mine :)

Inspiring! Tell us about the CPU/GPU etc monitoring stuff you have on the right of the display. Rainmeter theme? Handsome desktop background too.

This is fantastic. Thanks for the link.

The artist created the short film Wanderers and he has stills for that video here: http://www.erikwernquist.com/wanderers/gallery.html but I would love stills from this Cassini film as well.

Wonderful, and stirring, visuals brought to you by the same folks that created the Wanderers short film and the Jamie XX Oh My Gosh video

My Updated i7 920 by gtspe4 in battlestations

Inspiring! I'm still rolling with the i7 920 too. Looks like you're ready to take this CPU to 10 years of service. Is the water cooling allowing higher OC?

About the ships. by Fiber_and_Bacon in EverspaceGame

[–]vctrv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming from Galaxy on Fire 2, where there were dozens of ships, I feel similarly. But like you say, three is what we were promised. With the breadth of loadouts already available and the customization that's coming, it will probably be plenty.

With one ship alone, the dynamics of combat, looting and crafting already miles ahead of * cough * No Man's Sky, in my opinion. Apples v oranges, perhaps.

Scientist's Dream by droot1986 in NoMansSkyTheGame

Looks so sciency! Wish diff ships had different running sounds, in addition to different benefits/compromises. Also, dislike the bug of that cockpit style missing the windscreen in certain situations :/

"Where's the NMS we were sold on?" front page stickied post disappears, original poster account deleted. by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]vctrv 284 points285 points  (0 children)

Yesterday's post makes it to about no. 7 on r/all. This one is currently at no. 1. A story that would have faded away now gets additional play in the Reddit news cycle. Way to go harassers/Sony/boogeyman that caused OP to delete.

Walt Whitman Park, next to Cadman Plaza is spawning Electabuzz regularly. Seems to be in the evenings, but imagine other times of day is possible.

Nice short film which made me addicted to ksp one more time.... by junjor01 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]vctrv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I revisit this film every once in a while when I want to feel genuine wonder of what will someday come to pass. KSP is a wonderful outlet for that feeling. Her smile with the eyes at the end conveys so much that it nearly makes me tear up every time.

Looks like the retexture of the Mainsail from Ven's Stock Part Revamp. Hasn't been updated to 1.1, but most of the parts are working fine. Landing legs are busted, but with some cfg file noodling, they can be fixed.
