I like to play devil’s advocate and am interested in sharing knowledge about my hobbies! I like gaming and VR, AI, herbal vaporizers, media analysis and philosophy!
I don’t go as hard as other members of the community, I just want to have the parts in case of an issue. I have my key caps, switches, and tools all in the same Ziploc bag (not loose though, each are separate just consolidated).
I keep the bag with my PC parts box
Should discussion posts be labeled other?
I can’t speak to what you’re looking for specifically, however I can give you an idea of the level and type of noise you could expect.
With a local server I built with 3 standard 8TB HDDs, the “noisiest” part of the whole computer is the fans itself - it’s very quiet compared to say, a fanned air purifier on full or maybe even half power. I’ve never actually heard my hard drives from any of the computers I’ve built in the last 6-8 years, and I’m usually right by them. If I listen very closely I may hear some ticking/spinning if they happen to be ramped up.
So under load, there may be a chance of hearing some of the spinning disks in a quiet room, however I haven’t actively heard an HDD since 2012 - though the size you’re going for could be different as you mentioned. I can’t speak for the 18tb sizes. As for the smaller external HDD’s, I have 3 6TB ones running in tandem and it’s pretty much the same, I’ve heard them ramp up slightly but it’s nearly silent even under load it’s more of a gentle hum. If there were any noise sources like music it would be unnoticeable. But again, the size may play a factor.
You mentioned it’s right by your bed but would your active hours align with the backups? I.e. if you run them overnight from 2a to 8a, you’d already be asleep for the backup. If it’s noise that prevents you from sleeping that may help.
It’s a bit dated by now I’m sure but I’m a fan of my Rakk Ang Lam Pro (or for me, the Falcon Elite TKL - same thing) that I got from Flashquark.
~$80 board with media scroll wheel and a Win lock. Hotswappable so your favorite switches likely work. It is just a plastic housing but it’s sturdy and there’s no major flex or wear after ~3 years.
Spilled a beer on it and washed the board, all still fully functional.
Just some other suggestions, there’s also Syncthing (for backups and syncing devices) and PhotoPrism (like the user who suggested Immich, for gallery view.)
Good find on the solution, there’s some good alternatives from the github Monolith as well. However, MoW looks great, too bad it’s Chrome only from what I can see :(
I did attempt it a bit but I was having issues. Definitely the way I’m trying to go though!
Depending on the age, myabandonware and a guy named Vimm who has a lair are solid places.
Just one DL at a time from the latter, but it’s worth it. Also it’s not that bad of a hassle, go from small to large games and it’s over in no time.
Right but if it’s something that’s affecting every single creator then why would anyone continue to want to use Unity
I’m wondering how it goes with online game for instance (wouldn’t it be a no-go for many casual users?
I’ve wondered the same honestly. I’m able to connect to servers, never been an issue, but if I want to host my own game server it’s only available locally and no ports are ever exposed (understandably, since they don’t exist lol). Been a real hassle that’s for sure!
It’s quoting Linus Tech Tips. And he’s being mostly genuine about it.
I’d be interested in a networking section. My biggest hurdle in self-hosting is that my ISP uses CG/NAT, so no port forwarding. This has made even simple applications difficult to set up. It seems the easiest workaround is to set them up through a domain, which I’ve tried and had no luck with. A mix of not my forte and there being few straightforward guides.
This is the one I came to recommend as well
You say that like there aren’t thousands of songs with unintelligibly fast singing… lol
They didn’t release the third game, it was done by a third party (I believe with some licensing shenanigans?), which is why they don’t acknowledge Postal 3. They didn’t make it. Which is why they (somewhat recently) have given the A-OK to pirate that game.
I’d assume that last part is why they say legendary.
This one is dangerous because then you bought it and played it for today and never boot it up again after lol
It’s running well for SWIM but the hardware is a 5800X3D and a 3080 so it would be a shame if it didn’t.
Some areas are another than others though, classic Skyrim
I like Flashquark, decent prices and good support.
Power, Domain Name (if using a standard paid one instead of the cheaper route), VPN are the 3 that I pay for that I feel are the bare minimum.
I pay for a domain that’s $12, but you could easily get the $1 ones for the same purposes. I pay for a static and service VPN with Windscribe, which comes out to be like $35+$89 respectively. So that’s already $136 a year excluding the cost of power. I could cut that cost easily, but I use them for more than just my selfhosting so I feel like it’s a fair price for what I get out of it.
