Sniep posted:how pray tell does a landlord "gently caress up" fiber internet (the following may be very technically inaccurate but this is what I have been told and I can do gently caress all about any of it) there are a limited number of fiber lines in our area. because of this when we moved in to our flat starting a new contract with the one good provider would have meant losing the existing fiber slot and going onto a waitlist. instead of doing this we just put our billing details into the landlady’s account. this week our land lady got fed up of being mailed paper bills and tried to stop them sending her stuff in the mail. somehow this got translated over the phone to a call centre into cancelling our internet. apparently cancellation is irreversible, and no level of escalation has helped. someone else on the waitlist now has our fiber connection and we would join at the back of the que for fiber. either way I’ve been without internet since Monday and the best the company that did all this can do is put us on a basic connection by the end of next week. hence the suggestion of going 4g router instead. v hosed up I know.

vodkat posted:(the following may be very technically inaccurate but this is what I have been told and I can do gently caress all about any of it) lol i have a friend who had a similar issue, they were moving like all of a block over and weren't able to keep their fiber subscription because Frontier had maxed out the local fiber infrastructure, and was (probably still is) at bankruptcy's door so not willing to spend on any upgrades/expansion. vodkat posted:my landlady has hosed up our fiber internet and the best we can now get is basic adsl. she is suggesting getting a 4g/5g enabled router with unlimited data instead. how bad an idea is this? it depends on how "unlimited" it actually is. like, do they actually mean unlimited, or is it like 50GB? is it unlimited but they throttle you down hard after a certain usage threshold? or maybe it's genuinely unlimited but after a certain threshold you start getting deprioritized, so if/when there's congestion your connection goes to poo poo. also, who's the provider, and do you know if you get decent reception there? i guess it also depends on how bad the "basic adsl" is

If you just wanna consume media slop it'll be fine. if you want to game, you're going to rip your eyes out also theres a 99% chance you will be natted from the 5g router to your wireless provider's infrastructure so don't expect to be able to open ports for anything incoming

I had to get a 4G router in the UK because I live in a shared house and my housemates are it's okay but I still use our fiber over wifi for everything else, I get only about half the advertised max speeds for £50 a month tho incidentally their argument is that I was "stealing their data" by "downloading at connection speed of 1000mbps" (we have only 300mbps total) - and in their words "probably more, this is just the maximum the router interface will show" (it's because ethernet is 1gpbs but they would not listen) this is coming from a guy who said with authority he worked in IT so he understands this better than I who actually wrote router firmware sorry got a bit E/N there, gently caress living in a shared house as a professional in your 30s

5g is pretty good here (250Mbps+) but no idea about the jitter and I assume it's only good as not many people are on board yet, shared medium issues etc

jesus christ i bought this sabrent gen4.0 nvme drive about 18 months ago, it failed last year, wouldnt show up in bios, smoked. rma'd it and bought a 980 pro to replace it. when i got the rma i put it in my. linux box and figured i was good. i even put a heatsink on this one as i was worried i got it too hot as the c: drive in my game machine. well after like six months IT died too today. goddamn. do not buy sabrent.

update: i bought three wd black sn750 500gb drives, a 2 slot pcie card, and another 32gb of ram to max it out. plan is to run the root on a raid1 mirror of two of them, and use the third for /var and NFS cache. if anybody knows best way to set debian up with the first part, would love any thoughts. i can do the mdraid part but am not sure how i install grub to both so if either fails i can still boot

c c s: RAIIIIIIIID!??!?!??!??!?! Also i figured out the debian on raid root thing, it's easy. Just install but do a mdraid mirror during install process, have it install grub to first drive, after reboot use grub-install to put it on the second. sorted

its my docker and VM box. i run debian, because i'm a grognard. So all my youtube downloaders, handbrake containers, etc etc run on this. Just a general purpose lumix box. 6700k, two 500g WD Black nvme's in raid1, a third one of those not raided for /var, and a 1tb samsung 860 sata ssd for NFS cache. 64gb of ddr4 3200. All packed in World's Best ATX Case, a lian li pc60. I actually still run things like qbittorrent and direct connect clients on the NAS because it seems dumb to run such undemanding things on the fast box that requires a nfs connection.

i got a bunch of old NUCs on ebay* a while ago and i'd like to get them set up and running again. the seller stripped out the SSDs and RAM, and i'm having a heck of a time finding a drive that'll be compatible since i guess it takes some sort of mini-mSATA drive. does anyone have a link to a BOM or something so i can figure out what i need to order? * i believe this was originally from the same failed web tv streaming(?) startup that made NBSD really really mad a year or 2 ago -- all this hardware came in zip-tied to an empty rack-mount tray like some kind of lovely homemade computing cluster e: ok it looks like there's a lot of info in the tech spec sheet for this particular NUC Glorgnole fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Feb 10, 2022 |

Dumb technical question no one might know the answer to. I've been able to get a PC port of a game working on intel igfx (ffx hd) using a patcher that increases the VM space of a 32 bit windows app to the full 4gb. What I don't understand is... why does this help? Does intel DVMT/shared gfx memory reside in the process's address space and not in driver/kernel space?

I want to go from 1T to 4T SSD but only have one m.2 slot on my compy. I'm assuming easiest way is:
writing this out, it almost seems that backing up and just reinstalling on the new drive would be easier. If I decide to go through with this any idea of a good NVMe 2-disk cradle/cloner that can attach USB/TB?

Get an NVME to usb adapter. you can get them pretty cheap on amazon. make sure you get one that specifies its nvme, cause there are older sata ones that wont work with nvme. Stop bitlocker on the existing drive (this may be optional these days but it wont hurt anything) Slap the new nvme drive in the usb adapter and plug into ur compy use macrium reflect to clone from the old to the new. swap old for new in the m2 slot. expand partition in disk management (right click expand) if macrium didnt do it for you re-enable bitlocker a side benefit of using an nvme usb adapter is now you have a fast-ish external usb drive you can use for stuff. alternatively you could get a pci express -> m2 adapter and do the same thing, except leave the old ssd on the adapter for fast internal storage.

If you have data integrity errors or bad sectors, or if the macrium clone fails, use clonezilla live with the -rescue flag set in expert mode. It will clone the disk, skipping over the bad data future ghost fucked around with this message at 02:34 on Feb 14, 2022 |
