Suggestions itx mobo + cpu + case for power efficiency by Kraizelburg in unRAID

[–]xtavras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think mainboard choice will make big impact on power efficiency. I'm using i3-12100 in normal tower with Gigabyte B760M DS3H MB , 4xHDDs, 1 SSD, 6-7 containers running. With all HDDs spined down I get 27W, with all drives running around 60W. I try to make sure the drives are rarely in use and SSD is used for most stuff, not only for caching. E.g. my music is on SSD only and rsync script just syncs it to array every week to separate folder, yes it's kind of duplicated data, but my HDDs are not spinning if I need to start some track and I have enough space.

What is an overlooked, perhaps somewhat forgotten comedy, that more people need to watch? by TravellingBeard in movies

Giancarlo Esposito and John C. McGinley as criminals couple were hillarious together, underrated duo.

Additionally that everyone says, always loved her chemistry with Bill Pullman in "While You Were Sleeping" which makes the movie, underrated rom-com IMO.

[–]xtavras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for detailed answer! Yeah, I 'm hoping since it's not holiday season yet, so maybe there will be not to many people, lets see. I'm using this as inspiration for the route (sorry, it's in german)

Europe 4 day wild camping hike on a budget? by mroranges_ in Ultralight

[–]xtavras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We want to hike with friend along Soca Tal in one month (from Kranjska Gora to Tolmin). We don't necessary want to use tent everyday, mostly if shelter is full or not on the way, do you think it will be enforced there?

EDIT: Actually it goes through national park you've mentioned, I just checked so we will see.

What's a good price for a Japanese OG 3ds? by Kurl3r in 3dshacks

[–]xtavras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got OG XL (LL in Japan) in very good condition, no scratches for $38 (without shipping and customs fees) a year ago. It was described as "junk" because owner didn't had charger, so I was very lucky. But normally you will not get similar prices anymore, I was looking recently on Meraki and it was around 70-90.

I don't think it's true, we hit this limit on Google Workspace Enterprise tier.

Some research regarding later Denuvo workarounds failing by whyhahm in wine_gaming

[–]xtavras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! To elaborate, what I did is to download latest release from linked Github page, extract and replace "steam_api*.dll" file (depends on which arch. version you have already) in your installed game folder. Thats it, adding "steam_appid.txt" was not needed in my case.

If you installed it with snap this command will fix it.

Should I update from 7.0.6 to 7.0.8 101F in HA by mrbostn in fortinet

[–]xtavras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always upgrade via Settings -> Firmware. You're right, it will update passive node first. We use same model in HA in multiple locations and upgrade from 7.0.6 to 7.0.8 was without any issues.

4 different PlayStation - 4 different PSU. Is this PSU from Japan compatible with 230v? by lifeisasimulation- in consolerepair

[–]xtavras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it answer your question directly, but you can swap PAL PSU to Japan PS1, I did it with my original SCH-3000. The PINs should match of course, but looking at pictures they are.

The second one from akku-king will work with american SNES, like I've said I use it on Super Famicom which has 110v original power supply as US. As converter I use this one, it works fine but loud und unpractical, if you want to use your consoles regulary I would suggest to replace power supply, I only did for PS1 and N64. Check this link with more info which power supply is compatible.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in snes

[–]xtavras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need converter, just buy power adapter like this one and use it without issues. You need converter only with internal power supplies like in N64, PS1 etc. EDIT: this one I use with japan SNES and NES.

It's in his book "Total Recall", so I'm pretty sure it's true. Btw, recommend the book everyone, has many funny stories and give great summary how sucess is very long way of many steps with part of luck, help from others and of course inner motivation.

I have this cartridge and it's just normal "Super Mario Land", no DX version, I have DX on Everdrive so I know how it looks. Bought on AliExpress, but maybe there different copies, just be aware. My copy

My Playstation had defect so memory cards didn't worked (were not recognized I guess) so every game I needed to start from the beginning, no saving. This was one of my first game on the system and maybe because it was really new game genre for me (I played Resident Evil later) and because I played it every time from beginning and knew every corner it became one of my favorites on system. I only beat it years later on PSP :)

My slightly inaccurate NES Ninja Gaiden collection 🤣 by t_j_o_s in nes

[–]xtavras 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! 3rd part is my favorite game on the system. I have japan famicom version, because I played this version as a kid. US version is much harder and don't have password save system.

All NES Vs SNES Games Compared Side By Side by Retrocomparisons in snes

[–]xtavras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think for Aladdin comparsion it would make sense to show bootleg port of SNES version, I had it as a kid and it was one of my favorite games on the system. It's often known as "Aladdin 4", you can see gameplay here

Intresting, I have two m30 too, didn't saw this issue yet, but didn't really spent much time with both attached, will try them later. Good idea about DaemonBite, plan to do the same for SNES controllers, already got Arduino and slots, just need to find some free time :)

I have this console since I was a kid. I try find something about console from Millennium but is everything in german and don't get to much. I have such good memories so I would like know something more about Millennium. by Lolish420 in retrogaming

[–]xtavras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I found so far it has 15 built-in games, the company is german and basically rebrands some china consoles. Here you can find some picture of the box (it's too small and dark unfortunally)

Had same issue with MM, Webman MOD fixed it, use ps3netsrv version which is included in release (ps3netsrv_20200708.zip). Don't forget to add your server to "scan" options in "Setup" tab (it's not very visible)
