Wow. What an awesome wife. I think I just discovered a new relationship goal.

You win.

Ah. I was unfamiliar with the home version.

Ah. Did not realize this was an issue with home. I can not say I experienced that. Hell, I still use Windows 7 pro keys to activate Windows 11.

Do you know if you could use audit mode to bypass OOBE and get around it? Simply curious.

No it doesn’t. I just reinstalled Windows 11 pro and I’m running without a Microsoft account.

Edit: I was unfamiliar with how different that is from the home experience. I’m still using Windows 7 keys to install Windows 11 so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ consider me out of the loop.

Take your upvote and gtfo. Lol

Huh. I, for some reason, didn’t realize the PS5 was 4k.

Love it. I love that you went to Lemmy for tips. A side note, while I love it, I’m curious to see what it would look like with a bushy unibrow now that you’ve added the bushier mustache.

If I’m not mistaken it’s actually a Blu-ray player not just a dvd player. Mind you this is from memory not necessarily a fact, lol

Oh yeah, no doubt. One of the whole benefits of PC gaming is being able to snag games from other retailers. Honestly disk drive consoles have the advantage of being able to snag games from other users.

Uhhh. Maybe I’m a little TOO far from the console crowd but I’m going to say this anyways.

Who tf cares? I’m a PC gamer and I’ve been without a disk drive since 2009.

I will happily admit it is definitely a different situation. For one, this would essentially give Sony a monopoly on games. Which would mean that they would never lower prices and gamers have no one to go to other than them. You know what I’m talking about, all the same shit that Nintendo has been doing for years.

I guess that I’m just curious how many people dislike this.

I’m by no means an expert though, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Good on you for trying to help though, seriously. And OP I wanna hear if you’re able to get it squared away.

Android only solution, I think. Admittedly I don’t know I iPhone very well.

For PC, I would personally suggest looking for a controller with two things. Number 1, Hall effect sensors. Eliminate stick drift entirely with that alone. Number 2, replaceable joysticks. If the sticks last a long time, then the controller is expected to last longer. I just think having a way to replace work rubber is a good thing. Personally, I have loved Gulikit. My controller also happens to work on switch as well. Here is a link of you are interested in checking it out. Note that that is the controller I have, but you should definitely look at the different models. My controller has lasted about 3 years now. I used to go through PS5 controllers in about 6 months.

Yeah, I’d just like to ask why it has to be NTFS as well. I want to help you to the best of my ability.

Now in terms of what you are trying to accomplish, it would sincerely help to know what kind of server you are trying to create and what you want it to accomplish so I can help you with the design. It would also help to know what hypervisor you are using to read those VM disks. Now, for the sake of the rest of this post, I’m going to assume that you are simply creating a Linux server meant to share those disks with a hyper-v hypervisor (to ensure we discuss the worst case… Lol… but also because I think the only reason you need NTFS is to support a Windows hypervisor).

Now if that assumption is correct, I would still ask why the filesystem must be NTFS. If all you need is a share for the files then why does the filesystem even matter? In my opinion, the worst case scenario that you have is a samba share which shares these files over as a Windows share. Now Windows is capable of better sharing utilizing either iscsi or NFS. None of these three sharing solutions (samba, iscsi, NFS) require an NTFS filesystem. Though I will admit that there may be some other thing that causes an issue with the potential of these solutions.

Anyways, not to pry, I want to help you though but a little more detail would significantly help with helping you find a solution.

Fair enough. It’s great to see someone else getting into self hosting. For me the Seagates’ noise aren’t an issue because the fans on the SAN are so loud anyways. Also it lives in the same room as the water heater, furnace, and AC anyways.

I don’t know what NAS you have, however, I’d like to recommend a few things. My SAN is capable of running docker (Synology RS2416RP+) so setting this up was admittedly pretty easy. But look into running Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, and Deluge. If you’re running Plex, I assume it’s for media and these programs will help you get more. Sonarr for tv shows. Radarr for movies. Jackett reads torrent sites. And finally Deluge does the downloading. Message me if you’d like some more help with it.

Really? I haven’t had good luck with WD hdds in laptops and they’re the reason I target Seagate (hdds) or Samsung (ssds). In fact, I got 12 Seagates in my SAN. But admittedly, I haven’t used anything outside of the WD blue line up. Is the reliability that much better? My SAN and it’s hdds are pushing 10 years old and both were previously in use at a data center by a total of 8 Hosts so not exactly easy work. But I’ve admittedly replaced I think 4 hard drives in the past 3 years.

oOoooo! Get it into a raid array!
