Re: My new (to me) Plex Media Server build

Haha I don't think it will matter if I keep the sides open or not on this case. It's freaking huge. With all the heat from the CPUs being blown out the case directly, there isn't anything else inside the case that produces a lot of heat. I'm gonna load up BOINC on it here shortly and put her through...

Re: My new (to me) Plex Media Server build

The 360 radiator on the front takes up nearly the entire portion of the front vents. There is only a small portion at the front-bottom that is open and I'm not sure it's even large enough for a 120mm fan there. Same with the top mount. The 360 radiator takes up the whole thing except a tiny portion ...

Re: My new (to me) Plex Media Server build

I sure hope they don't. I don't know what I can do to get air passing over them. I've got 1x 360 radiator with 3x 120mm fans mounted at the top as exhaust. 1x 360 radiator with 3x 120mm fans mounted in the front as exhaust. 1x 140mm fan in the rear mounted as intake. 2x 140mm fans at the bottom moun...

Debian 10 isn't affected? Then no worries here since we're running 10.9 on the server.

Re: Spoiler Tags

Yeah I noticed that as well since I use the dark theme as well. I haven't had a chance to look into how to change it though. IIRC, their wasn't individual "theme" files for each theme, so I think it only uses one file for that. Which means if I change it, it'll change it for all themes. I ...

Different weight points based on project

So, I've been thinking how to include NCI type projects in the competition. I understand most of those projects are not really valued that high by most crunchers. So, I was thinking of including them (WUProp, iThena) in the competition but only in the marathons. No sprints. However, their point stru...

Web server update/migration

I will be moving this site over to the new server in the next couple days. So if the site doesn't respond, or appears to be offline then give it some time for the DNS to update to the new server or for me to finish transferring it over.

Re: 3-2021 Big Core Options under $2,000.

Well my UPS only works when power goes out. Isn't that the point? Unless you pay more for electricity at night than you do during the day? Then I could see using the powerwall to store the cheaper (in the case of solar, "Free") power during the day and use it at night, but isn't most power...

Electric chainsaws aren't as loud as gas ones.

Throw some panels on the shed?
Take out space in your backyard and mount them to poles on the ground? I mean, who needs a yard anyway when you can generate power with it? :lol:

I will check both of them, but I suspect since I download "linux distros" the drive is being accessed at all times that it wont go into a "not running" state to trigger those.
