Well, a solution could be, to dont buy AAA-Games. Or only games that are worth it. No hype train purchases month before release, no blind trust in big names of games or publishers or studios.

At least demos are a thing again.

Ps: don’t buy battlepasses or skins in f2p would also help I guess.

I am not from america but our youth imported your moral/ethical/politics discussion shit on games. And it is so anoying. As if any company would care about moral integrity. Have you noticed that most companies which supported pride month with a little rainbow icon did not in all the countries where this is suppressed and forbidden?

The whole purpose of most companies is to gain money. And they will do whatever is necessary and legal in countries they operate in. And it is a own “discipline” called localization to exactly knowing about their possiblities 🤷🏻‍♂️ And like others said: most companies are up to no good. Energy, gas, food, clothes, cars… Pharma…

My advice #1: play the games, pay as less as possible. My advice #2: The field of indie games is great. I rarely play AAA. But I also just care about gameplay and don’t like stories in games anymore.

Some cool games: dead cells, children of mortar, ember knights, mario kaizo hacks, path of exile (is not indie anymore but great anyways), brotato, cassette beasts, cosmoteer, rimworld, elite dangerous, hades, rogue legacy 2, noita, stardew valley, subnautica, super meat boy and so far and so on 😉

At the moment I do exactly that. Learn proxmox, omv, influxDB and tomorrow grafana comes around to play 😉

Nevertheless proxmox and omv are the difficult ones if you never used a hypervisor before. And my toughest lesson was: software raid is pretty slow. This took quiet some time to realise that this was the problem.

But it is great to have a hypervisor to play around with, test different things in containers or vms and if you mess things up, just spin up another in a few seconds and try it again. It just feels less impactfull than reinstalling all stuff on one machine.

And you learn a lot about networks along the way if you aren’t already familliar with it.

It is very satisfying to read news about a declining Ow2.

They killed my all time favourite game, that I maybe played most ever since. But 5v5 and f2p where such bad ideas. Season 1 started, I played it one more week after and quited. I miss it, but I now there is no fun in this game for me.

Looking forward to new bad news about the game.

I have written a mail to the shop and asked them how to supply the power and if it is even possible with a picoPsu. If not, I guess I will take a Asrock instead. Using a regular ATX psu only for the one connector somehow feels not purposeful 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your answer. the picoPSU is the next point that causes headaches. I have two questions about the pico.

How to calculate how much energy is needed without knowing how much the board needs? My actual HDDs and planed parts are:

  • 2x 6TB WD Red WD60EFAX -> and I found the use 5.3W under load what means even with four of them they only need 21,2W
  • a NVME like the WD Blue SN570 with max consumption of 3,75W
  • a fan (maybe an be quiet! Silent Wings 4 PWM 120mm) for the case with round about 4W by max Speed sums up to 27,95W But the information about the power consumption for the board is missing.

It seems like a 80 watts picoPSU should be sufficent. What I don’t understand is, how can I supply the power with this psu when it is a 24-pin ATX but the board needs only 4-Pin-ATX?

Ah ok. Asrock is now an option too. Knowing they can handle 16gb of ram is a game changing information. It was the single argument against them. Because the price is much better.

My old NAS was a Synology DS213j.

Usualy over at reddit selfhosted sent the user asking for diy nas over to the r/NAS but it is still private and there is no lemmy chanel yet. But because of this I tried “hardware” first ^^

The quadro p4000 could be a bit over the top. And it lacks the rest of a pc 😅
