| diana_coman: | jfw: it seems it's probably best to ask any questions re wallet/transactions/trb in #t really; though atm the chances of getting a lot of help there aren't all that clear. | [04:05] |
| diana_coman: | trinque: any chance you answer jfw's question ? | [04:05] |
| ossabot: | (trinque) 2019-11-25 jfw: trinque: do you know of an existing solution for pushing raw transactions with TRB, patched or otherwise? | [04:05] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: ok; for btc though I do hope you are otherwise planning to look & find also some people other-than-surf-pal-who-moves-to-nicaragua or wherever, right? | [04:18] |
| diana_coman: | BingoBoingo_: in fedex-lolz, their tracking page now says it's in the US and "no scheduled delivery date available at this time". | [04:22] |
| diana_coman: | perhaps meanwhile they found out that the UK is on the other side of the ocean or something. | [04:23] |
| BingoBoingo: | diana_coman: Well, they've done it to Huawei before | [10:43] |
| diana_coman: | lolz, we shall see. | [10:46] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: Yes I'll keep networking/searching for people who trade btc/cash in either direction. | [11:03] |
| diana_coman: | good. | [11:03] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: In last-minute updates, pcgamingcr told me that actually the graphics card they have available are ~00 Radeon RX 550 4GB or ~80 Radeon RX 580 4GB or ~00 Asus GTX 1660 6GB. My question is there a noticeable benefit I will see | [12:46] |
| whaack: | from shelling out for one of the ore pricier VC options for, say, hacking on the Eulora client. | [12:46] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: not really, eulora is very undemanding re graphics + for hacking you'd anyway focus on non-graphics really | [12:47] |
| diana_coman: | iirc someone even managed to run the client on a virtual machine (though that was extreme & slow ofc) so it will run pretty much on ~anything | [12:48] |
| diana_coman: | sure, it will always look better, shinier etc on latest & greatest (+ the fitting drivers because those make the difference even more than card per se). | [12:49] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: but overall it's really more about how much you care about the graphics card otherwise really | [12:49] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: When you say 'care about the graphics card otherwise' what does otherwise refer to? I have ~0 experience working with the GPU, making animations, etc. I played a little bit with bagger's CEPL and got little past the hello world stage, but it seemed like something I may be interested in doing later. My thinking is 'maybe some day i would like to be able to produce shiny eulora cli | [13:00] |
| whaack: | ents, but i don't care about having a shiny eulora client today' | [13:00] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: I mean mainly if you need/want/are interested in latest graphics for something other than eulora | [13:11] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: if it's "some day", leave it for then, it's not like you can't change a graphics card either | [13:11] |
| diana_coman: | and/or build another machine specifically for that if you really get that interested in graphics. | [13:11] |
| BingoBoingo: | The sub 200 USD easy to find sorta graphics card is probably the sweet spot for anyone who isn't animating, rendering, or trying to make their games look like film. | [13:13] |
| diana_coman: | but anyway, I expect even with your first option of graphics card there that you can still do decent graphics/animations really | [13:13] |
| diana_coman: | basically if you don't know for sure what and why you need X or Y or Z graphics card, you'll likely find totally fine any decent option even if older or something. | [13:14] |
| diana_coman: | if later you figure out you want X or Y graphics card for good reason, you can just change it (if it works with the rest of configuration), what; not a big issue. | [13:15] |
| BingoBoingo: | under the impression the gfx card is the easiest thing to swap out later | [13:16] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: okay ty. I will go with the rx 550 then and make a proper investment in a graphics card if/when I actually need one. | [13:17] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: np; and sounds sensible, yes. | [13:17] |
| diana_coman: | BingoBoingo: depending on OS and all that, there can be all sorts of drivers-induced nightmares but otherwise and in principle myeah. | [13:18] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: Another question. The [https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Cases/SPEC-06-RGB/p/CC-9011146-WW#tab-tech-specs]][Corsair Spec 06 case] I am getting comes with 2 included 120mm fans with 6 potential spots for fans. Should I get additional fans? | [13:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | whaack: On that case the extra spots look like they are for folks doing weird with watercooling and such | [13:35] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: it looks like the 2 included should be enough for as long as you keep it in a sensible place really; at any rate, you can monitor the temp and figure out later if you really need to add fans, it depends in the end on your environment too. | [13:44] |
| whaack: | BingoBoingo: Yes the case also supports watercooling. Is that an issue? I did not do too much of an investigation on cases. I know only that they need to have the right size / form factor, and bigger is better for cooling. | [13:45] |
| diana_coman: | also, if you have in there 8 running fans, it might end up rather noisy, so maybe not ideal if it can be helped. | [13:45] |
| whaack: | Yes I really don't want to replace my background audio of ocean waves with the noise of fans spinning. | [13:46] |
| diana_coman: | whaack: re size, the less crowded stuff is, the more space for air to move about so yes. | [13:46] |
| diana_coman: | so then, let it be as it is and otherwise monitor it and see, that's how things are figured out anyway. | [13:46] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: cool. Looks like the major pieces are all decided then. I am going with the 00 1500VA UPS My thought process was if they are both so overpriced then the investment aspect is out the window and I should cut my losses by getting the cheaper option that addresses my immediate needs. I read a review on amazon that seemed thoughtful that de | [13:50] |
| whaack: | tailed how to attach a better off brand battery and added it to my notes. | [13:50] |
| diana_coman: | all right. | [13:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | whaack: Shouldn't be an issue | [13:51] |
| BingoBoingo: | Cases like that one they try to make versatile | [13:51] |
| BingoBoingo: | It's the smaller cases that try to force you into particular flavors of weird | [13:52] |
| whaack: | BingoBoingo: Cool. | [13:57] |
| BingoBoingo: | On the big cases they have to offer the possibility of water cooling, or there's a subset of customers that'll give the case a hard pass. | [14:02] |
| whaack: | BingoBoingo: If my case offers vertical GPU mounting, should I get a mount / Pcie Riser Cable to do so? Or is it unnecessary. | [14:35] |
| BingoBoingo: | whaack: depends on the height of the GPU. If you don't have to, I don't see why you would. If space demands you mount vertically, it forces you to get one. | [14:37] |
| BingoBoingo: | If you can find your desired gfx card in a "low profile" version, that can also work and helps to keep the clutter down. | [14:37] |
| whaack: | BingoBoingo: Alright ty. Looks like my GPU should fit just fine. | [14:52] |
| whaack: | asking though if they have the low profile version. | [14:52] |
| BingoBoingo: | Cool | [14:53] |
| whaack: | diana_coman: EOD Report: I went to town and ordered the following items for my computer/work station: A cpu, motherboard, graphics card, psu, backup internal drive, a case, an internal ssd card reader, a mouse/keyboard, a monitor, and a UPS. I will write an article with the exact items ordered soon. I tried to open a bank account and learned that I need a letter from a local describing my job/living location/etc. My landlord will w | [21:19] |
| whaack: | rite one for me. The bank told me that I can deposit k/month at first, but that limit can be increased over time. I also spent time in town getting various items to improve the state of my apartment. I am pretty exhausted after today's trip and will have to push back my planned 4hours of reviewing backup strategy + testing my blog recovery. Instead I will do some item unboxing tonight and try to get some good rest for tomorrow. | [21:19] |
