  1. To get in the top 800, it would be 133 million points. Which isn't too much with todays GPUs.

     

    Yup, and that threshold seems to be increasing with the number of active teams, but I absolutely think it's doable

     

     

    Or we could make our own Folding List with Overclocks and LN2

     

    Shhhh you are already working on stuff :old:

     

  2.  

    We are no longer friends :p

     

    In all honesty though I have not had a WU come my way in a little while lol.

     

    We can have good talk about it this weekend :thumbs_thumbsupup:

     

    For real though, if you haven't restarted your folding slots in a while, your countdown timer is probably waiting a good 4-8 hours before it makes a server request attempt. You should probably pause and re-fold your slots if you haven't already done so.

     

  3. I guess I should contribute here now that Drews convinced me to get AC lol

     

    Learning on a controller is definitely a challenge, especially since I am so used to flick steering from my old Need for Speed days. Still absolutely having a blast though.

  4. Welp, renting vs buying, I suppose. The complex jacked up the info they sent me so we had to switch apartments last minute.

     

    That was the only complication lol.

     

    Yeah we have had a last few minute things mainly related to super important paperwork...we no longer like moving lol.

     

    I have come to the conclusion that the only people whole like are complete sadomasochists, or they own a mobile home.

     

  5. For me the best thing about it is the Ad/script blocking that you can do with it from what I hear (have not played with it) but I have had custom firmware (AsusMerlin) on my Asus router at one point which allowed for some serious ad/script blocking which was fantastic as it was all blocked before it even got to your PC. VPN Server is also a massive bonus. In the future I will get a small PC to do this on and mess about with it.

     

    Agreed with that. Personally I don't use the boundary ad blocking, but I have read mix results with it. Either, being extremely simple to setup and "it just works", to "this is so customizable, oh god someone please turn off the fire hose this is too mu-".

     

    For me, the I use the OpenVPN server. At my old place, my folks were paying for comcast cable, and my brother would use the VPN connection to watch the "In-home" streaming service while at college. Also, it works great for remove management, especially when TeamViewer decides you are using the free service for a commercial use case, but they don't factor in the fact that one person really does own that many computers lol. (If you connect via local IP rather than public ID, TeamViewer doesn't complain).

     

    The Multi-Vlan support would have been easier if I didn't decided to do a dot1q trunk to my switch, but whatever lol.

  6. The big take away is flexibility. pfSense is completely opensource, and has a lot of community add-on packages. These range from proxies, DNS, VPN server, multi-VLAN routing, boundary ad blocking, or whatever else you want to throw at it. Plus, it's fun to actually build out a router with your own hardware, or repurpose old hardware that you have stashed in the closet.
