Beat those Covid19 blues !

More of pain for the application as well, since it will need a bit of re-writing. We did make a few changes to optimize it for it's current environment. Previously it was running on a server with a pair of E5-2695 v4 CPUs and 512GB of memory.

 

 

Hey there tictoc, been a while. Was that you that had an unfortunate encounter with a Creeper in the Minecraft Server?

 

That was me. First time I've fired up Minecraft in probably 3-4 years.

Ohhh soo much ram !

Heh here I am still suffering with 16GB.. my use is almost entirely gcc jobs anyway so really cache appears to be the primary factor for me. 3700x was a colossal upgrade from a 4790k in that regard.

 

Also hi everyone... I'm also just being hit by the coronavirus blues, stopped working this week. To pass the time I'm just re-birthing my old electronics habit.. shopping for a 2-4 channel bench psu right now and perhaps a used 100mhz oscope. Pretty neat that they have these cheap USB logic analyzers now.. Also raspberry pi. So much different than it was in the late 90s when we used to use the LPT port on our desktops for this type of thing.

[ENTERPRISE]

16GB Ram is still sufficient for most use cases bar workstation related applications obviously (Not sure what you do)

 

Downtime is the best time to delve back into your hobbies, the problem is when I do that I start spending money on things

Yep 16GB has been serving me well but lately I've been working in an Ubuntu (with a DE) VM from a Win10 host.. bunch of browser tabs open on the host, IDE open and some jobs running in the VM and the 16GB is pretty much clobbered now! Time for 32GB

 

Lol.. yeah.. Ordered an rpi for starters to pass the time

 

Then you realize you need a pretty beefy 5v power supply... and micro hdmi to hdmi... oh yeah need a nice fast micro sd card.. heck could use a case too.

 

plenty of more junk to order too.. Gonna get expensive fast I can feel it

All in all, having time on your hands can hurt your wallet for sure lol.

 

Who here knows the boardgame frustration ? Love that game, since the lockdown that baby has seen more use than PC gaming :laugh_laugh:

[ENTERPRISE]

So It is finally time for me to get my game on with Shadow Of The Tomb Raider.

 

Who is playing what ?

[Supercrumpet]

Vermintide 2 double xp weekend is on, so I'm getting my last character up to 30 for the last couple of achievements for the game.

 

Skyrim bug bit me about a week ago, so I'm playing the Special Edition for the first time. Modded, of course.

 

Other than that, I've been doing a lot of iRacing. Been really enjoying that.

I've been playing through XCOM 2. Michele plays the Tomb Raider games, and she just started Witcher 3. Pretty sure she has every Lego game too. I saw her playing Batman "at work". Btw she tried posting her Neon Noir screen shot and it failed.

Did she use the image uploader ? The attachment uploader does not support images so that could be the problem.

[Supercrumpet]

Got those last two Vermintide 2 achievements.

No covid19 blues here.

I need to continue working, but with all the safety rules to avoid contact ?

This weekend was kinda quiet, allthough I'm on breakdown service duty all weekend.

Started playing GTA IV again a few days ago, just some single player to kill some time.

Breakdown service eh, that must be a lot of waiting around for calls. Guess you can fill those gaps with some gaming I reckon
