Those look great! Enlighten me as to what Halo Clear switches are like (I'm guessing not clicky but linear or tactile like browns).. you should do a video demonstration. Thanks for adding my wife's new board and numpad. One word of warning regarding the Yunzii numpad: it came with Gateron Yellows and they were extremely difficult to get out- I couldn't do it, I had to ask my wife to get the switches out. They do provide a combo keycap puller (wire type) and switch puller in the box but my grip strength and lower arm strength wasn't enough to get all the switches out. I assume the ones I put in it (mostly Kailh whites because I only had like 4 Pinks left over) would be difficult to get out as well. If you're strong and not physically disabled like I am it might not be an issue. I think the problem is simply that the square holes for the switches are like just big enough to get a switch in and smaller than most normal swappable boards.

Would like this board added to the spreadsheet. Mini Cat 64, Kailh Box Pink switches, Black orings and Epomaker MIA keycaps.

Try Linux Mint 20 with Cinnamon. Or any other Ubuntu or Debian varient. It's extremely easy to set up the fahclient and it runs as a system service. By default it will fold on your CPU, and you configure slots, passkey and username in /etc/fahclient/config.xml (requires root priveleges to edit). With mint the command in a terminal is: sudo xed /etc/fahclient/config.xml If you need any help feel free to ask. I've been using Linux since 2003. I might not be able to help much if you use Arch, Fedora or anything else that isn't Ubuntu .deb based. But I will try. EDIT: Here's an example of my config file for 1 GPU. I just had to go in and change it from CPU to GPU really. In your case, you will have to add slots, it is pretty straightforward (just copy and paste and change numbers): <config> <!-- Client Control --> <fold-anon v='true'/> <!-- Folding Slot Configuration --> <cause v='ALZHEIMERS'/> <!-- Slot Control --> <power v='full'/> <!-- User Information --> <passkey v='7767d529b42f9961ccfbab6fcb7e0494'/> <team v='239902'/> <user v='bigred'/> <!-- Web Server --> <web-allow v='127.0.0.1 192.168.86.37'/> <!-- Folding Slots --> <slot id='0' type='GPU'> <pci-bus v='9'/> <pci-slot v='0'/> </slot> </config> To access the client control, you will need to change the web allow address to your PC's IP after 127.0.0.1 and then the control and status can be accessed in a web browser at http://127.0.0.1:7396/ (it will always be port 7396, since I'm forgetful with numbers I just bookmarked it.) I also recently opened port 7396 in my firewall and allowed it for the internal subnet, and changed the config file web allow to 255.0.0.0 as well, hoping I could connect to the server on my phone and check work unit status but all it did was load a blank page.

ExtremeHW January 72 hour Folding Challenge January 21st 0000 UTC
neurotix replied to damric's topic in Folding@Home
Starting tomorrow at 6pm for me get hype! -
Hey @keeph8n What are you folding on currently? It says you're the #2 ranked producer for the team behind me. Also, for your watercooled 3x 4090 setup, what distro of Linux will you be using for it?
-
I should cut off the .net then? Yes or no. I will remove pushing it to the limit.
-
Gotcha. Is there any way we can fix this if I take that flat logo I sent you, remove the .net and resize it horizontally? I really want a black flat bill hat with ExtremeHW on it. Also what do you think of the last t shirt design, and can you post a link to the collection of stuff you have so far?
-
Last design I got. It's supposed to be metal themed for any other heavy metal fans here. On a black shirt. Also @ENTERPRISE I took artistic liberty and used some Metal Gear Solid fonts to use for the logo since I know you are a huge fan of that game series. Well that concludes my t-shirt designs I had in mind, so for the rest of the day I am going to be doing some watercolor paintings I have in mind and possibly some pencil portraiture.
-
QFT. With my circuit gradient it looks really dope. Nice idea Ultra.
-
These look great! Can you try doing an embroidered hat on black with the flattened (mostly 3 color no gradient) logo in the zip I sent you yesterday? I personally wouldn't buy a hat with just EX on it because no one would have any clue what it means. But if it said ExtremeHW.net like in the image I sent I would. EDIT And it's gotta be a black hat for me
-
Exactly what I was thinking. We should just put them all up and let people buy what they like best. But it's E's call, not mine.
-
Here's another one of my ideas, lol. Don't we all wish. It would look best on a green shirt so I used a green PCB color for the background. I will remove that and send you the transparent png, UltraMega.
-
All of this is great, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to post here, @ENTERPRISE I agree with everything, except maybe the member vote on approved designs. I have two more t-shirt designs I am going to be working on. It's not that I disagree with voting for what to use, it's that I think a lot of variety is a good thing assuming it doesn't cost extra to have more designs available on an e-tailing site. So in the next few days I will finish up my ideas I have left and post them, then send them to UltraMega. Him and I have been in pm's and I've been giving him the transparent images he needs. After that, unless anyone else has any art to post, we can get them all uploaded and have you login and look through everything as you stated. I understand you want the utmost quality in our material, but if say every t-shirt design I did were available for purchase I'd probably buy one of each and pay from my savings. As well as a hat. I think @UltraMega should look into if this site does coasters or round stickers as I have not seen those yet, but made a white and a black circular design with the "EX" to be used on a sticker and coaster. In time, I suppose.
-
Will do later, on my way to an appointment. Edit: the unisex flat bill hat and the low profile baseball cap seem best. Want me to remake the hat design I sent in transparent later so it can go on a white hat? I can also flatten the logo as I said so it could be embroidered on a black hat.
-
First of all, everything you posted looks great. I especially like the mug. Shall I remake the logo I intended go on a black hat to be transparent and it can go on a white hat instead? The other option is to make all the text in the logo red and the HW in ExtremeHW in a solid gray, which is simpler and could be embroidered. Also, I designed another T-Shirt. I took artistic liberty with this one and didn't use the official logo, but put the logo in a neat font I found. It is also supposed to be a 90s throwback style shirt with a CMYK focus. I plan on doing another one using the same words but in a grunge style font on black, using the official logo we have, with the text in various shades of red on a black background- a metal style red/black T-shirt. Let me know your thoughts.

I used to just go find the work folder when I folded in Windows and delete everything in it, which would give you a new work unit when you started the client again. I have no idea where the work folder is on Linux, but I don't intend to do the same thing, nor what you mentioned. It's not just about the points but it's about the cause- I lost my Grandpa in 2021 to COVID-19 and I lost my Grandma in 2019 to cancer. She had various types of cancer that metastasized and so forth and ended up dying from a brain tumor, I believe.

If you happened to read my original post and what I have to go through and deal with, well, I think you have it even worse. I'm on disability and don't even work because of DDD and fibromyalgia as well as compressed discs in my neck and low back, and a hip torn labrum and cam and pincer impingement. Much respect to the fact you actually hold down a job and one that involves carrying things, etc. I don't know how you force yourself through the pain. I find it difficult to force myself through the pain just walking around my house and going up and down stairs, let alone going out to appointments or shopping with the wife. Any tips on how you cope with it mentally and just force yourself through would be valuable to everyone here, I think. Also, is there anything doctors can do for you? Do you get pain meds or anything? Because this sounds like its much worse than anything posted so far, though I suppose it's relative and everyone feels pain differently. Personally, anything leaning over a desk like art, soldering, building keyboards, working on computers I can only do on good pain days and doing so will cause me to be in bad pain the next day. It sucks.
-
Thank you so much! Just did it. Gonne check /etc/fahclient/config.xml to make sure it's there. If this keeps me from getting those waste of time garbage units I'll be very happy. EDIT: After doing this I immediately got a unit that gave me the highest PPD I've seen yet.
-
Looks great man. Nice keycaps.
-
These all look fantastic! Can you also do the folding shirt in a medium gray please? That took a lot of time to make and was quite challenging for me and really pushed the limits of my skills. It took a lot of time to do. The white one with the logo on front and my design with the full site logo and icons on the back was a good idea. I would also suggest a black hat with the file I sent you and some circular stickers with the EX logo, as well as a mug with the EX logo as Avacado wants one. Thanks for your work.

Gotcha. I have a hip doctor appointment tomorrow and have to ride in a car which usually puts me in bad hip pain. Today is a no because wifey is off and wants to spend time with me watching The Crown. I have a dentist appointment on Thursday. So I might only really be able to work on graphic design on Wednesday and Friday, to my chagrin. But my hips have been killing me all the time lately, its probably the 2 packs a day I smoke and sitting agitates it too. Got a hip cam and pincer impingement and left anterior torn labrum. Will probably be sent to do physical therapy first then get MRIs then see what this doctor can do, and I may be forced to quit smoking by insurance. Then I will have to see another doctor and repeat all of that nonsense for my neck. This is sparta! Font | dafont.com WWW.DAFONT.COM This is sparta! Font | dafont.com That's a font I'm going to use and put "ExtremeHW.net" in and then do a CMYK gradient across, and underneath put text at different angles in cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The text will advertise what the sites about so I'll put watercooling, pc building, reviews, voltmodding, folding, hwbot, gaming, audio, etc. all in cyan, magenta and yellow at different angles and then in the very middle put "community" in black. To go on a white shirt. And that's just one idea. I wish I could work on it now but wife is upset since we haven't watched The Crown yet.

I will also be working on 3 more Tshirt ideas I have in my head this week. I'll send the raws to ENTERPRISE for his archives and the transparent pngs to you, UltraMega. The reason they are transparent is because redbubble offers a ton of different colors, so if the designs are transparent people can choose what color shirt they want. Hopefully that is the same on the site you have the account on now. I understand the process of this taking time and I can understand trying different vendors etc. Sorry I got a little frustrated. Keep an eye on this because I have some pretty cool ideas in mind. Edit: if the option is available on the sites you are using, and you can add a comment about a shirt or a product, I would ask that you put "designed by neurotix" if possible for any of my designs. I'm not going to make any money and am fine with that, I just want credit as an artist where credit is due. Thank you.
-
-
Figured. Done. Sending it now. Also, please consider a redbubble account and looking into it, providing they do international shipping. I really love their default t-shirts, they are very soft.
-
Thanks for reminding me to be patient, Avacado. I did fully legally release all the designs to E in a pm. I understand he is 1. Busy and 2. Wants it done right and wants quality in the products. Thank you for the compliment about the quality of my work. Ultramega, I can definitely send you the original files, but they are all in GIMP .xcf format. Those are in the zip I sent Enterprise. Can you handle those and convert them to transparent pngs or do you need me to, and zip and attach them? EDIT: I will just pm you all the transparent pngs. @UltraMega
