Yeah, last time I went there was over a year ago and had a similar experience to op, now I go to my local shop. Same price now as mcds, but I get almost 2x the food and it’s better quality.

Agreed. Luckily with RAM, you know pretty quickly if a stick is dead. Yeah the test can run for hours, but in my experience if a stick is dead, memtest will go red almost immediately, most of the time not even making it 2 minutes.

In fact they should try. Due to dual/quad mode the only thing testing multiple sticks at once will tell you is if any of the sticks have failed. Only going one by one will tell you which ones or how many, otherwise you’ll have red herrings

Yeah two sticks at once to me says mobo issue, IF you tested each stick individually and they both failed separately. Maybe not fried, I’d be hesitant to try them in a better mobo to not fry a slot too, but they might still be fine.

Did you test each stick individually to confirm both are dead? If two sticks are in there and it fails all that means is “at least one failed”. That’s just an indicator to go one stick at a time to determine which one.

Unless it’s ddr5 check your local ewaste recyclers, most have shops where you can buy used parts.

Exactly my use case, I’m on a couple communities that I’m sure there are people out there don’t like, but for the few of us who do really like the community we enjoy it. Those who don’t enjoy it are welcome to block us or not subscribe to us, but they insist instead on downvoting every single post because they personally don’t like it, ruining the experience for the actual people who do care about the community. You’re also right that it’s a small community, we’re not talking about Ask Lemmy, we’re talking about a small community with less than 100 people. Where a post may get a few up votes

That’s not at all what I’m talking about. Random downvotes are a constant, those don’t matter to me. However if you really hit 80% downvotes in my community alone, then to me I’m doing you a favor. You should have just blocked my community, so I’ll do it for you. It is honestly difficult to get that high or a downvote rate.

Personally I factor this in with bans on my communities. I very rarely ban, but I do if I notice people like this, who I dub “downvote trolls”. They don’t participate (or when they do it’s negatively), the just downvote constantly.

Now I’m fine with downvotes, I downvote, I think it’s healthy to say “I don’t like this content”. However if all you do is downvote (especially in a specific community) then I view a ban as a win win. We don’t have to deal with your negativity and obviously you don’t enjoy being here anyway from your voting patterns, so everyone wins.

For my communities I have a pretty healthy ratio. If you downvote 80% of the content, you’re on my radar. I won’t ban you on that data alone, but seriously 4 out of 5 votes on the community are on average down then why are you there?

Even those are being locked down behind DRM now

For everyone here, this is true, and I’d recommend buying a couple drives for quick replacements. If you don’t you’re gambling that 1) a replacement drive will be available and 2) that it will be affordable.

Keep a few spares lying around while we get through the ebbs and flows of the market. As K said, a person is smart, people are dumb and panicky. If ssd and storage prices rise, people panic and our hdds will rise too.

Prep now and thank yourself later.

I see there’s still a pro version though, that’s how Insomnia started and features have slowly been leeching to “pro only”, is that a worry with this one?

Bruno looks almost exactly the same! Thank you!

This looks really nice! Thank you!

Hello fellow midwesterner!

Exactly this. People here mass downvote but I personally find AI to be extremely useful… To do things I already know how to do but don’t have the time for. I don’t trust it to do things I can’t spot the errors in

I’ve literally gotten jobs because of my homelabbing. Being able to talk about how I run services and why I enjoy them has helped more than most of my professional work

actually… probably true

Two things pop into mind

• Power hungry mods always do stupid things that drive people away from their communities
• Why was anyone with a C-Suite title a mod of an online community?

They killed off openvpn support a few years ago and am glad I did. They don’t care about power users, so they don’t care about my money either. Good riddance

Of course! Let me know how you run your containers and I may be able to help on that side too
