LeeRaylI had to put a fresh install of Pop_OS on the #newrig
I need to do some distro or DE hopping…
Got my new m2 in the #newrig and have decided to yank my 2 2tb m2s out of my das and replace with some 128gb for cache and swap out my smaller ssd on my i3 NUC
KevinM1 ♿🎮💻This will likely never happen given the state of the US, and the fact that I'm currently 100% in money saving/debt reduction mode in the assumption some combination of Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security will be gutted. But, I need something fun to think about for my own mental health.
I would like a new desktop PC. My disability precludes me from physically assembling one myself, and there's no one in my personal life who can make one for me. So, I'm looking for a good pre-built.
My current rig is a Dell XPS with the following:
Intel i9-9900 @ 3.60 GHz
Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080
64 GB RAM
2 2TB drives
Not a bad machine by any measure, but definitely feeling its age. I'd like to, at the very least, have a new PC with an equivalent (or better) CPU, RAM, and HDD space. A better GPU is a must. I'm Intel/AMD agnostic, but would like to run linux (finally free myself from Windows).
Any ideas?
Totally forgot the fleeting feeling! Gave my GF a link to one of the services and she was able to login. Seems silly but to have her do that is big for me because she thinks it’s a service I signed up for in the cloud 🙃#thegreatmediaproject #newrig #Linux
Just over 2 years since I dug into #thegreatmediaproject and I feel like the most significant thing just happened and it was fleeting.
If you kept up this all started to get my girlfriend access to all her dvds of all the Law and Order she owns. That spilled over into my DVD and CD ripping project that had been on hold since 2016.
From 1 random raspberry pi to a 30TB NAS, 1 RPi 4, 1 i3 NUC, 1 x1 Carbon with RTX GPU, and new personal workstation (see my #newrig tag). Upgraded my networking from Eero pros with WiFi 5 to Eero pro 6e and 2.5gb for the personal devices and hardwired all servers listed above.
Learned #Linux DE’s Pop_OS, Ubuntu, Cinnamon. All deb backend machines. Running 2 instances of Docker, DNS sink, 20 services. Added a VPS running more services. I have become dangerous enough to move to Linux for my personal machines completely.
That leaves my work machine and phone on apple stuff.
Yesterday I was doing some video transcoding and the #newrig chews through files like nothing. Took 4 seasons of disc rips with 5gb or so per episode (average 24 episodes per season) and finished them in about 4 hours with an average file size of 2.3gb per episode. h.264 1080p for TV shows round here.
Also was able to figure out some stuff on my VPS and pretty close to having my reverse proxy setup. Just need to get my DNS setup here once this new non 4kn drive shows up feels like progress! #newrig
Halfway productive lunch! Got the #newrig to accept the 2 new DDR5 6000 DIMMs and they are lit up without issue. This is good news! Also found the tempered glass screw plug inside the case, thought I lost it.
Reason the RAM didn’t fire up the other day is the DIMM slot is less than a millimeter from the cpu cooler. I had to get it up on the bench and move some stuff to seat the DIMM. Took the time to find the drive mounts for some 2.5” drives, new cases are weird with case mounting vs bay mounting.
Dumped those new DIMMs into the #newrig and it would not boot 😞
And grabbed the 32GB DDR5 to up the #newrig to 64GB as planned since it was $12USD cheaper. I need solar to power all this
