Roger that.

Thank you, Philip!

Faust

Well, I got the new NIC installed. Looks like the driver conflict was the issue. I feel like I should be smoking a cigarette or something. I did have another question, though. The NAS only has a few Jumbo Frames options, thei largest being 9000. The NIC has 9014 and 9614. Is best practive to set the ...

Faust

Hi, Philip!

Yeah, Jumbo Frames is on on both ends. The NAS is pretty simplistic with regard to network settings so there aren't any Green Ethernet or power saving settings in in that regard. If I hoook up my laptop with a USB 2.5GbE adapter it just pegs at just under the line speed (~2.2Gbps) NAS ...

Faust

Hello!

Recently upgraded the LAN to >1GbE. Having a bizzarre disparity between transfers between my main system and the NAS (both connected through a switch with 10GbE links). I can elaborate on the network items if necessary.

At the moment, if I transfer a 20GB test file (7z compressed movies ...

Faust

Got it, thank you, sir!

As I mentioned, I am very happy with it thus far. It has some nice features like IDS/IPS, ad blocking, VPN server/client, plus a boatload of things I haven't messed with yet. Probably a bit overkill for my needs but its ability to tie together its other products like ...

Good grief. So this is where we currently are. /insert emoji (12)+1

Death by a thousand cuts incoming.

Heya, Shinobi. I remember you, too :)

Again, thanks, guys. In the back of my mind I can't help but feel like the cliche old person whose go-to topic of conversation is their weird health issues. Next I'll be sharing how my hemorrhoids are acting up or how that nurse at the clinic stole the used ...

Faust

Thanks for the well wishes and assurances, all!

Went and had the surgery. The procedure was one of those things where the idea of it was not as bad as the act. That being said, oh, the pain. I actually had bi-lateral stones, one in each kidney. One was 12mm and the other was a 9mm staghorn. The ...

Faust

Hello, all! Just thought I'd stop by for a sec. I do miss the days of yore, BTW. Spare time has become increasingly hard to come by. Immy's arse picture is still emblazoned in my mind.

Anyway, having a kidney stone laser blasted out tomorrow (so, not a life threatening deal). Will be out for the ...

Faust

Being retired and now that I'm driving a whole lot less it really doesn't effect me. But, I have always regarded paying the lowest price possible to be something that sort of acts like a virtual savings account over the years. It's not the tank to tank refills that make a difference, it's the ...

Faust

Depends on where I am in my route (91 octane is ~$4.80/gal at stations along a major street and next to a freeway). Like BaLa, I live <5 miles from work so to be honest I don't really scrutinize what I'm paying as I have no choice. Getting all worked up won't make my day any more pleasant. May as ...

Faust

/drive_by_boop!

Faust

^^ I feel your pain. Our Cadillac gets about 9-11mpg around town. I think my combined mileage comes in around 14-15mpg. But that is due to only about 30% of my driving being on the freeway. The funny thing is if I do a Vegas run where 98% of the driving is freeway driving I can get 27 mpg out of ...

Faust

5L V8... But it is rated at 16 city / 25 hwy mpg. I imagine it can't even warm up in the first couple of miles, that's why your mileage is so low.

Oh, for sure. There's about 10 stoplights between home and work, which explains the ~13mph average speed. If my priority was economy I would have went ...

Faust

Oh, forgot to add the only real dislike for my car.

The mileage.

I average about 10.5mpg. I live ~3 miles from work so there's no freeway driving. Car says my average speed is ~13mph. So, the fuel economy makes sense. I don't even want to know what I would get running an entire tank in Sport+ mode ...

Faust

2019 Lexus RC F. My only car. It's a Lexus/Toyota so it's been very reliable as would be expected.

Faust

Ever find yourself reading a comment chain only to realize you have no idea what everyone is on about?

Faust

Heya, Philip! Thank youo very much for the reply.

I'm right there with you when it comes to not being familiar with SonicWall appliances. I mean, I've been given admin rights when I wanted it to set up port forwarding and such, but it's (SonicWall's layout and such) so different from what I'm ...

Faust

Howdy, all!

Long story short, the whole pandemic thing tossed some chaos into our day-to-day and who knows how long this whole working remotely thing is going to go on. When things went sideways the decision was made (which I objected to) to send the whole Engineering Department home with their ...

Faust

Those were LIES, I tells ya. I was perfectly capable of flying.

It's really simple. Just jump into the only fly-thinglie around, peg the throttle to make sure I abandon anyone else on my team on the airstrip, then ditch it mid-air for some unknown reason 5 seconds later. Never figured out where all ...

Faust

Howdy, Philip!

Your bullet points were informative and definitely make sense. FWIW, the SSD is a M.2 NVMe 1TB Intel 760p. Nothing exotic, was shooting for more towards reliability (assuming Intel SSDs still fall in that catagory).

Skipping the whole SWAP file makes sense as well. There's adequate ...

Faust

Heya, all!

Couple weeks ago my main system died after ~6 years.

Built a new system (X399 chipset) and was wondering in a SSD environment, if having a separate physical drive for the swap/page file would be of any benefit? I would assume all the M.2 slots run on the same controller but using the ...

Faust

Only thing I've read had regarded ozone emission from laster printers and keeping them out of the same room as infants, kittens, etc.,.

Could be a load of farts but who knows.

Faust

Cheers, RoundEye. My time will come some day and when it does I hope to see you there so we can carry on. Until then you will be missed.

Faust

Heya, Phil, Rand-man and Kenneth!

LOL!!! Too funny! I mean I am a pretty open-minded guy. Willing to try most anything once. Maybe this was my subconscious steering me towards something new :p .

In all honesty though, for $25 this is a really nice soldering station. I bought it on a laugh but I am ...

Faust

Fuggit, ordered one for sheets and giggles. It maintained the same image through the purchase process.

I'll probably forget all about this in the morning and wonder why I bought this thing later next week.

Faust

Was looking for a cheap/basic soldering station a couple days ago. Have been thinking about just buying one so I can write a review about how the product is not as pictured... or a review of how it matches the picture but does not include the soldering iron, or any of the other stuff. That ASIN in ...

Faust

Howdy all. It's been a few years since I monkeyed with multi-boot systems. Seemed a lot more straightforward when doing it with a BIOS/MBR setup. What I am looking to accomplish is a dual-boot (Win10/Win10) system with the 2nd install being on an external USB HDD/flash drive. The reason for this is ...

Faust

Hello, morbidpete, downhill, Ken!

Although I really do need to pay closer attention, there are 2 recent orders that were/are Prime that took over a week to get to me. Actually more if you include orders at work. Home deliveries were kind of arbitrary; I didn't go into a frothy rage because my Lemi ...

Faust

Howdy, guys!

Re-read my post, and to clarify my bad wording: many Prime items are still free 2 day, it's just many now are not (yet still labeled as Prime). It makes the most difference at work where I'd really like to get what I need quickly without having to spend more time determining if I'll ...

Faust

Past few orders I've made wound up not having the free 2 day shipping as an option on all items. At first I thought it was just me not paying attention, but I have discovered that my process of "filter items by Amazon Prime to see what I can get in 2 days" is now broken, meaning I have to spend time ...

Faust

Picked up a new router (RT-AC3200) on the way home from work. I actually was leaning towards the AC-RT88U but insofar as the guts, they're pretty much equivalent. Same CPU, anyways. The wireless side I didn't really care about. I was going to pick up a RT-AC68 but I am terrible about stuff like ...

Faust

Ah, great suggestions, Philip. One of the reasons I tried turning off the radios and unmounting the HDD was for that very reason. I'll try turning off QoS and auto-bonding as well.

As always, y'all have been very helpful!

Faust

Got home last night and flashed Merlin. Couple things to note:

After the flash, Merlin showed the router CPU usage was pegged at 100% and speed tests were unchanged (~200Mbps)
Unmounted the attached USB HDD, router CPU usage went down to 0-3%
Watched CPU usage while running a speed test; hit ...

Faust

Heya 'Cat.

Actually that's probably the better idea (flashing Merlin). This one's had Tomato running on it since I bought it (never thought it to be an issue), but I've read of some user issues where after year and a half to two years some folks started seeing performance problems and I just ...

Faust

Heya, guys.

As title states, my home router is in need of replacement. Got a couple good years out of it.

To be frank, I don't really care about the wifi side of things. I can add APs or bridges to suit the need so long as the router itself is competent. The reason I ask is a computer directly ...

Faust

For what it's worth, I used them (1and1) maybe 10 or 12 years ago to host HL2: Deathmatch mod map files via http rather than ftp (auto download through HL2 client). Worked as intended, no complaints.

That being said, there were no other services I used. Cannot comment on general hosting services ...

Faust

IIRC 21:9 is or at least was also a film/movie aspect ratio so you could conceivably watch movies without them being "letterboxed". Aside from that, like Philip said your game would need to directly support that resolution or be able to run in windowed mode or else the results may be unpredictable ...
