Well...its working!

Cant seem to get my sound card to work with 5.1

Think i found a website where i can get my 5760x1080 display back.

Sadly the games on steam are limited! Not sure about epic and gog games yet tho.

Still gotta find software to run my fans, or at least a monitor. Need to find something for the little 3.5" display.

But its up and running!

Main/Gaming PC switch over

First off, I have had a few different linux distro's over the years but I hardly know whats going on. Had a headless server, where again, I barely got it up and running.

Right now all but my main PC are running mint and I'm almost there on biting the bullet on moving my main to mint but I'm just not sure if it'll run everything, along with triple monitor setup. I was thinking of temple OS, but mint would probably be my choice.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Specs:

Ryzen 5 5600x

32gb 3200Mhz

RX6650XT

MSI X570

1Tb NVMe

110Gb SSD

Egret tours marina

Background of the ammo plant:

  • Egret tours marina is my ammo plant, and I have it where you drop all your junk, weapons, armour, and stuff into a trunk, then it will break down everything into components needed for ammo into hoppers or back into your workbench automatically. You select the ammo you want to build from the computer, throw the corresponding lever to let the ingredients onto the belt to feed the ammo plant and let it work. It puts the ammo in the workbench for you to collect and also has a cleanout system to clean itself out after and replaces the items back into their bin for the next run.

Background of the save:

  • I started FO4 with this save, and it has gone through some...issues...over the years. Started playing this save way before sim settlements the original. Modded it part way through with SS1 and all the goodness that went along with it. Screwed up the save to the point it was not even stable enough to do any settlement building so I kinda gave it up. SS2 came out and I thought "bah, it cant hurt plopping a huge new mod right on top of an old one, even tho it tells me not to!" and it turned out about as well as you think. Ok being honest it did work but a few of my settlements were toast and completely bugged out. Thankfully through one of the SS2 updates and/or WSFW I was able to mostly recover and play my original game again! Egret tours marina was intended to be my main ammo plant and not really house anyone, but 1/2 way through building it my old R9 390 could hardly handle the 15fps i was lucky to get. So back on the shelf the save went. Years go by and I finally get a whole new pc's worth of upgrades I toss the save back and im able to get 30fps ish in egret tours marina so I started to upgrade it a little. Well, because of piss poor planning and not being able to move around with the R9 (fps drop) I didnt want to expand too much more and had already built myself into a corner, kinda.

My plan is to tear it all down, expand so its not such a shitshow but the wiring is daunting. I thought I'd save what I have done now because it took me so long to get to this point its kinda sad that no one will ever get to see it! If anyone is interested I would be happy to upload it so you can check it out. Be warned, I'm new to using Transfer Settlements but it worked, it'll take forever to build but it works. I also saved it using SS2 city plan but the wiring seems not to work/follow through and that makes the save useless.

There is more I will have to go through if anyone actually wants to check it out as you will manually have to put stuff in the splitters, but that's minor and can be explained later.

I'm back! Again

Yeah, so my life is still a pile of crap, nothing is really working out, however I miss Lemmy. I'll do my best to keep up on reports and such.

This really did not need a post, but I figured I should probably let folks know.

What did I miss? Anything good?

The difference between sport bikes and cruisers

I'm in my 40s and just got my first sport bike, been riding dirt bikes before I was 10 and street bikes by 14. I've always liked cruisers and choppers, never had a crotch rocket style.

After a month of having a cbr600f2, I'm convince there is a correlation with how kids slept as as babies and what bikes they like to ride (if at all)

Babies who slept on their backs better, like cruisers, babies who preferred to sleep on their bellies, like sport bikes!

OMG Thank you bethesda

Yeah, i cannot believe im actually saying this where it can be archived and thrown in my face at a later time, but damn. Thank you bethesda for FINALLY baking ultrawide into the game, now I dont need janky mods to make things work and look proper anymore! Dont get me wrong, the folks who made the mods I was using did a 1000x better job than I could have ever done, but im glad bethesda actually did it, seems to work great so far.

Wonder if I can get my orginal save back up and running again.

I wont be online as often for a week or two still, but soon enough!

Open call for new a mod or two

As most of you might remember, I had asked a little while ago how to go about picking a new mod (or two) to help out.

First off, there is little to no work actually involved other than checking in, last report was 9 days ago, and when things like the bots who were mass posting happen, the admin are on top of that real fast and it was done and over with by the time I logged in again. I'm not asking because the workload is requiring it, no, its more that I was wanting at least one more person. This way a community this size (i have no idea if ours is considered large or active tbh) can have more than one active mod. Much less chance of perceived bias here, now there has been no mention of it to me but I don't want it to get that far even.

I'm looking for one or two more folks to help out around here. This job is paid with bits and bytes sent to your pc or phone while your on this site, so do with them bytes and bits as you see fit, in accordance with all laws mind you. I'm more than willing to send you a digital cookie 🍪 once a month if that helps out.

I'm not looking to pass the torch and split, like our last overlord, however if something would happen to me or my internet for a long spell, only the admin could pass off the mod to someone else.

Anyone up for the job?

I think we need another mod

Not like there is a lot of work, or reports. You are all a good bunch, plus the admin team seems to get to most of the reports before I do, making me more or less useless!

So I'm thinking of bringing on someone else, this way I cant be bias, well less chance anyways, and the guy who got me to mod seems to have gone away, never to be found again. Hope hes safe!

But yeah, I think one person being a mod with a community this large is not right. How do you all want me to pick the next superhero mod here? Eeny, meeny, miny, moe seems like a great idea to me, but I'm a stoner.

Thoughts?

Tour of my ammunition factory | Fallout 4

So this save file is super corrupt, some of the mods I have used over the years have really screwed it up. Updated to SS2 so this save is extra screwed. Please excuse the audio, the mic I have is a cheap amazon one, but at least it works. I have never wanted to be a youtuber, but I do enjoy sharing some of the things I have done in games. Even when I stream, people watching makes me nervous for some reason, but I still like doing it every now and again. No idea why...but I do.

Anyways, enjoy the many hours I put into building this, it took a lot to get the way it is now.

Let me know what you think of that one room...you'll know what I mean when you see it!

Edit: You'll see the room at about the 40 minute mark

Sweeeeet

I have a wack of content I'm willing to post here, I assume youtube links are ok?

I can upload pics as well. I have a save with about 200 hrs in and build an ammunition factory, fully automated! Sadly some of my mods kinda broke the save, so I went ahead and got SS2 so that save file is super buggy.

Anyways, that's 2 fallout communities I joined tonight, looking forward to posting here for sure as settlement building is the #1 thing that keeps me playing fo4!

Sweet, a fallout community on lemmy!

Been playing fallout since, well the start, currently playing fo4 and 76.

Looking forward to the tv show, but I have low expectations, its kinda hard to adapt the game to tv, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Finally got both fo4 and 76 to run in stupid-wide (5760x1080) however some of 76's menus are a bit wonky.

Anyways, wanted to say hi and I'm looking forward to posting here

I'm breaking the rules!

Well, since the last idea I had for the community crashed, burned and the ashes blew away in the wind. So for shits and giggles I'm giving 24hrs to post basically whatever.

No NSFW, or other stuff that breaks the basic rules of lemmy, just dont be me...dont be a dick.

I'm posting this pic cause im wondering if the speakers are overkill? whats not shown is the 4speaker centre channel, or the exact matching rear speakers that are the same as the fronts. Fine. You twisted my rubber arm, I'll clean and take a current pic and post it in a bit.

Lets see your setups...the 'battlestation' community here on lemmy is just a reddit repost bot and wont let original content.

What am I doing wrong?

I'm kinda new to linux, however I seem to remember running a headless ububtu server years back. Also remember it took a long time to setup being my first headless server.

So, to my current issues. I just installed mint on an old pc and just want to use it to run my security cams, store the files, and host my nas. Took me over 6 hours to get the raid setup properly, so much differing information on 'how to' for noobs like myself, but managed to get it working and moving files over to raid file now.

Coming from mostly windows crap most of my life, its confusing where and how the raid is setup, and honestly I'm still not convinced I did it right, but everything I check says it is, and I'm sure it knows better than I do.

Ok, now the issue, how in the ever lovin shit can I just share that stupid folder/disk to my network. 90% of the options are greyed out while looking at the properties tab, and need sudo access to change it, so whats the point in having the gui? Am I just dumb and smoked way too many doobies? Got samba installed, but not configured yet, only cause I ran across much more conflicting info, some said in mint its easy like windows...right click and share that shit, easy right? Even I didn't think so, and I'm ok with that, I'm really sick of windows and want to convert all the pc's but damn....stiff learning curve.

Don't get me wrong, I ran DOS back in the day, and I was not bad at it, better than your normal user at the time but by no means a power user. So I should be able to grab the concept quickly, but I am failing. Total of 12 hrs on this now and considering just putting win7 back on this pig and giving up.

I know no one can give me direct answers, and not looking for tech support, but looking for advice so im not wanting to 'hulk smash' this thing
