Do you have your own api key? Been a while, but that's the most common problem.

I set up your API key and secret. However, I couldn't verify if it was working with the API.

Yesterday I set up Rclone, and the download speed from Google Drive was so slow that caching took a long time. After applying the method described in this article, the speed improved.

This is my mount configuration. What do you think? Is there anything that might be causing issues??

rclone mount google_drive: X: ^

  --vfs-cache-mode full ^
  --vfs-cache-max-age 24h ^
  --vfs-cache-max-size 50G ^
  --vfs-read-ahead 1G ^
  --cache-dir "./rclone_cache" ^
  --vfs-read-chunk-size 128M ^
  --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit off ^
  --buffer-size 128M ^
  --dir-cache-time 1000h ^
  --drive-chunk-size 64M ^
  --poll-interval 15s ^
  --vfs-cache-poll-interval 1m ^
  --multi-thread-streams 32 ^
  --drive-skip-shortcuts ^
  --drive-acknowledge-abuse ^
  --network-mode

What secret is hidden in the phrase “you are absolutely right”? Using Google's web browser translation yields the mixed Hindi and Korean sentence: “당신 말이 बिल्कुल 맞아요.”

I bought a 2-unit Dell R730 server to crunch through a specific big data problem. I needed dozens of TBs of disk and hundreds of GB of memory. The cost of running it in the cloud one time was $2000+. I figured why not spend that on hardware and use it forever?

Well I got everything set up, turned it on, and it sounded like a jet airplane taking off in my basement. I knew it was going to be loud but this was ridiculous. It was an obnoxious high-pitch whine and I could hear it through the walls and in all rooms of the house. Plus it idled at 100+ watts so it was an energy hog.

Needless to say, I crunched the data that needed crunching then turned it off. I rarely spin it back up. I had some vague ideas about water cooling to avoid the fan noise but that's on the back burner. For now it's just taking up space.

Oh, I think it was something like this! I need to downgrade idrac. https://gist.github.com/slykar/f90ad596b18d5ab1eb1c66b2ccf51...

I used to suffer from GPU fan noise on my T640. I couldn't adjust it in idrac, I could force it with ipmitool, but I don't remember how...

Hi HN,

I wanted to share Niantic Studio, a new browser-based creation tool for building 3D games and AR experiences for the web. I'm the founder of 8th Wall, which was acquired by Niantic Labs a couple years ago, and Niantic Studio is the evolution of the 8th Wall platform – adding a new visual editor, web gaming engine, and finally opening up the platform for everyone to use with a new free tier for personal use and game development. It's in public beta and could benefit from lots of feedback, but I'm excited to see what you build with it.

During the height of the pandemic, we developed a similar project, but it didn't work out. This is cool.
