  • FWIW your friend was running a CPU that comes from the factory OC’d nearly to it’s limit and it’s a top binned CPU.

    Also, your friend called a 360mm AIO a massive liquid cooler when that’s the bare minimum you should have to run that thing stock, and even then of probably needs an undervolt to maintain adequate temps under load.

    To OC that thing like they wanted they probably should have had at least a custom water cooling loop with two 480mm rads and plenty of airflow.

    Ideally you would have also had a water chiller in the loop.

    But if you wanted to really push it and try for a record OC you would have needed an LN2 pot. Maybe even liquid helium.

    None of which accounts for the insane power draw that apparently your local grid couldn’t handle.


  • Well, you see the first step is to boil the potatoes. It softens the starches and makes the next step easier.

    The second step is to mash roughly one half of the potatoes and set them aside.

    For the third step, you will cut the remaining potatoes into roughly one inch (2.5cm) cubes. After that you will, and this is critical, stick them in a stew.

    Let the stew simmer until the onions dissolve and the carrots soften.

    Now you can serve the stew over the mashed potatoes and then smuggle them out of the phone in your stomache.














  • Every time I’ve seen major streamers asked similar questions, the answer has usually been “just do it.” If you enjoy it, keep doing it, if you don’t stop.

    In all likelihood, early on you might get the occasional singular viewer, but otherwise you won’t get much, which will provide you with time to get used to talking and narrating while playing, as well as develop some kind of style or tone that you want to go for.

    As for concerns over what people think of you, as you get more comfortable with things, you’ll find an audience who enjoys what you’re doing. It’s kind of the nature of the platform. You’ll also get people who don’t like what you’re doing and really want to tell you about it, that’s also the nature of the platform. They can be ignored and/or banned if it’s bad enough. Probably a good idea to set some stream rules early on and enforce them.

    But at the end of the day, what matters is that you’re having fun.




  • I’m far from an expert and have never setup borg, but I see some possible problems with that config, though I don’t think I see anything that would cause it fail.

    • In the environment section of borg, borgmatic, and borgweb, the “BORG_PASSPHRASE” variable is used inconsitently, it either needs to be uncommented in borg or commented out in borgmatic and borgweb.

    • Networks: having a single “backup_net” network is less than ideal from a security standpoint. Nginx should probably be in it’s own network (an ipvlan or macvlan network) in addition to the backup_net. backup_net should be isolated to the host that are running borg, while any communication into borg should be routed through nginx on its ip.
