2023.03.20 20:58 gulbalee Suggestions for migrating data from VM and Proxmox Storage to a new ZFS storage on existing disks
I have learnt a lot from here and was stuck on how to migrate my ubuntu server data (which i attached as a proxmox vm) to a different hard disk so after not being able to find something relevant to what I need online, I thought I'd ask here for assistance.
I started hosting my own core2duo server with Ubuntu (server LTS) and set up lots of docker containers (which I don't mind losing if it is complicated) along with native Nextcloud (which I want to migrate to proxmox storage hdd).
The Ubuntu server was set up in this order;
- 160GB HDD mounted as / (also has Swap) (I can nuke this, I believe, since its 11GB used and probably just has the OS and mostly non essential stuff as far as pics and other data is concerned)
- 2x 1TB HDD in raid1 (mirrored) with 2 partitions
-partition 1 -- 98GB mounted as /var (40GB used)
-partition 2 -- 621GB mounted as /home (contains data that I need, shrunk from full disk in a failed experiment where I thought I could make a partition in the raid array and use that as proxmox storage) (165GB used)
I got an HP Z800 with 2 Xeons recently and installed Proxmox on a new 120GB SSD. (Plus a spare 500GB SSD which is currently blank and can be used if needed for the solution to my requirement)
I took out all the drives from my previous server and passed them through to a new VM on Proxmox and was able to start up just fine. With the proper network settings, I got my old server as is and a ton of new CTs and VMs that were comparatively faster, plus a big boost from my 4GB Ram.
Ideally I wanted to get all of my HDDs free and accessible from Proxmox. Maybe ZFS in the future (which is now).
For additional Proxmox storage, I removed one drive from the Raid in the ubuntu VM and set it as a new drive in Proxmox. I have been using it for ISOs and VM/CT storage and it is doing well (183GB out of 983.5GB used as of today), but now I want to get the other hard disk from the ubuntu Raid1 free too so I can add it as a raid or ZFS in Proxmox.
I have thought of using rsync to transfer data from the VM to a new container but am not sure how I would then get the VM HDD to be added as a ZFS drive to Proxmox.
Could I shrink the ubuntu VM /home partition further and then clonezilla it onto the 500GB SSD, and then copy all data from the Proxmox 1TB drive to the 500GB SSD as well. Once done, remove both drives and re-add them as Proxmox ZFS?
Should I use rsync for folders I need instead of using clonezilla to get /home files to the 500GB SSD?
How should I go about this? Any suggestions?
TL:DR;
I have a 1TB HDD (half of a raid1 array) as ubuntu server storage for nextcloud data. I want to use the drive as part of proxmox ZFS (where there is another 1TB drive being used already and was previously the other half of the mentioned raid array). I dont want to lose the data in the ubuntu drive or proxmox drive. I have a spare 500GB drive that can be used to hold data while all of this is happening. Total space being used by both drives combined is almost 350GB.
Whats the best way and how can I get this done?
Thank you!

2023.03.20 20:57 AndrewTatesCumshot Is HDD failing with this sound?
Hello, I've got a Seagate Barracuda 3.5 1TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 and after recently installing Windows 11 it feels like opening some folders takes longer than usual as well as searching for a file through all the partitions. Lately while doing another such search I noticed that it was making this struggling noise. I also got 2 external HDDs connected btw but I'm pretty sure this noise is coming from inside the computer case. I figured it could be struggling with the speed cause I got 2 others connected but it still does this noise as if you're trying to start a broken car and it struggles. This is what it sounds like while doing a file search https://voca.ro/17QDe0elZT3y
Programs like HD Tune show that everything is OK in the S.M.A.R.T sections, no bad sectors too and scanning the sectors is fast and does not do the above mentioned sounds, they just come up when file searching. I also ran Seagate's Seatools test and it all comes off as OK so I'm not sure if I should start looking for a new HDD while it's still early. If it suddenly happens to fail and the cause is mechanical could I take it somewhere to just have the reader thing replaced?

2023.03.20 20:53 MyDickIsMeh Lateral move from DOT to DOT below PE level?
I am moving states soon due to my partner changing jobs and am looking for advice on how to initiate a lateral move with minimal pay rate disruption to another state DOT below the PE level with more than 4 years experience (the stress of moving my partner in and a busy personal life have not been conducive to studying). Would you send an email or call the HR office to ask about lateral opportunities (as they are only advertising their entry level and PE roles on the career hub)? Or just apply and wait to bring it up later?
I am able to step from one job to another without needing any onboarding due to both states running Bentley products and frankly excellent delivery on my quite high profile and challenging projects, but am struggling with how to currently phrase that without appearing too conceited/overconfident (DOT jobs and schedules are pretty trivial once you know what you're doing). I'm also seeking advice on how to approach that and avoiding the usual DOT training programs when applying/interviewing.
For the interview process, is it legal for me to bring cover sheets on projects that I have led design for?

2023.03.20 20:52 Devilsdog 5 years later
I am now just finding this subreddit years after, I had been diagnosed with GBS back in October of 2017. My diagnosis I think was a miracle, I was 22 had just been out of the Marines for 4-5 months twice a day gym goer incredibly fit. All of that changed when I was at work and my feet started to get numb, I didn’t think anything of it at the time I chocked it up to it’s cold and my boots are tight they will get feeling back when I get home. That night I took a hot shower and my feet were still numb. Once again I put it off to morning, I went into work that morning and not before long I realized my ankles, I could no longer completely feel from my ankles down. I asked to leave and go to urgent care. I drive myself to urgent care and wait around for a bit before getting seen. (This is where I believe someone was looking out for me) the doctor walks in listens to me for about 45 sec describe this to him and says “wait here I’ll be right back I need to give someone a call” me immoderately thinking the worse my feet are gonna be amputated I’ll have to learn how to walk with prosthetics. I was not ready for what he was about to say. The doctor returns and says “I gave my colleague a call, she’s a neurologists, what you are describing is very rare but if identified early on can save your life” he tells me it’s called guillain barre syndrome. Doesn’t really go into detail other then mentioning loss of motor function. He sends me to the main hospitals emergency room where they have me get a spinal tap and put me in a room and give me gabapentin. Waiting for the results while researching what it was . Finally the dr walks in and confirms that my spinal fluid proteins are reflecting the same elevated proteins in other gbs patients. At this point I turn to the dr and ask so when can I go home? Which he replied we are gonna have to keep you for a few days and monitor you to make sure it doesn’t get any worse. Over the next five days I can no longer do anything for myself. By day three I could no longer stand on my own two feet. No matter how hard I told my legs to move they couldn’t hear it. On that fifth day they told me I needed to be transferred to an acute rehab facility. It took about another week for me to start to be able to do the rehab. (I am extremely lucky, I’m not sure why or how, I had read that it takes people months to start to recover and here I am at two weeks attempting to cut my own food) at this same time I started to also develop Bell’s palsy in my face. Luckily that only lasted a few days, I spent the entire month of November fighting my own body to listen. I had dropped so much weight in such a short time, I entered to emergency room at around 215 by the end of November I had dropped all the way down to 155. My family brought me back to my apartment due to being 22 I was stubborn and did not want to be patronized and taken care of .my apartment had along light of stairs I had to Scoot my way up on my butt if I wanted to leave. I spent my time using walls to baLance walking in circles over over again. By new years 2018 I was able to move on own again not wel but independent. It’s been 5 years and I haven’t back to the gym. But I A very active job, even to this day I don’t know if my legs behave fully recovered I get tired far faster then those around me but I never let that stop me doing what I love

2023.03.20 20:51 unbridledenthusiasm2 Work romance between 29F and 47M?
So I have a weird situation, and I'm not sure what to think of it, or if I'm even thinking too much into it.
I'm a nurse, 29F. I work with a physician who is 47M. He is not my boss as I am in the nursing department, but he is one of our main doctors that we work with. I started working there when I was 23, brand new nurse, when we first met. There are 60+ nurses total in our department. We always had a pretty good relationship and worked well together; I think the world of him and have a ton of respect for all he does. I went to a different department in a different building a few months ago, and when I left, he invited me to dinner with my favorite co-nurse (that he also works with; she is in her 40s, married) to "thank me for all I've done". We exchanged personal phone numbers in order to coordinate the dinner. We never talked personally until that night, and we talked for a good 3+ hours about pretty much everything. We went to a rather romantic dinner spot, (he picked it, and paid for our dinners and drinks) and we sat on the patio by the fire. In the middle of the evening, he asked if I was dating anyone or even if I had any prospects, I laughed it off and said no since I am single and truthfully I don't have any prospects. I had a little too much wine & told him I wanted to get married and have kids eventually, but I just don't have anything going on right now (I'm literally never open with anyone about anything so I felt silly for telling him that much). I didn't ask him anything about his dating life (he is single, no kids, never married) since I felt like I told him too much at that point and didn't want to make it awkward. Our conversations got deeper and we started talking about what we want in life and stories of how we both came into our careers. After dinner, we hugged goodbye, and my coworker said she felt like she was third wheeling on a date since he barely asked her anything and it was mostly him and I talking, and frankly, we really hit it off. We didn't see each other after that until the holiday party a few months later. He hugged me when he saw me and bought me a drink, and kept holding/tapping my shoulder, joking that I should've never left his department and that I should come back. Oddly enough, I hated my new department and was going to transfer back in a few weeks. He was quite drunk and kept holding/tapping my shoulder throughout the night as he walked by and kept paying for my drinks when I ordered them despite me telling him he didn't have to. He texted me the night of the party around 1am saying he was glad I came, and I texted him back later the next morning saying it was good to see everyone. I am now back working in his department, and I really can't tell if we have feelings for each other or not. I am not physically attracted to him at all, but I have a huge "mental crush" on him (is that even a thing?!) because I enjoy our conversations and appreciate his kindness/sense of humowork ethic/brilliance. We don't see each other at work a ton as our schedules differ, but when we do work together, we roast each other & joke around. I was talking to him last week and he kept his hands behind his head the whole time (he was sitting down), which felt weird. He also suddenly wears a ton of cologne at work, to the point where people are talking about it. He is also basically an authority figure at work so I feel odd in that sense too. Am I thinking too much into this? Am I creating this in my head? Is he just being nice? Our age difference is obviously big (and just to clear this up, I have a wonderful relationship with my own father, who is 10 years older than him...) so I'm not even sure how a relationship would work in that case, but I feel so awkward around him because I kinda/sorta have feelings for him too?! Someone help plz.
TL;DR: Do you think I am just making this bigger than it is, is he just being nice, or is there a possible relationship brewing?
Edit: Adding that he texted my personal phone for my birthday (which he saw on facebook) a few months ago, and edited grammar.

I'm a nurse, 29F. I work with a physician who is 47M. He is not my boss as I am in the nursing department, but he is one of our main doctors that we work with. I started working there when I was 23, brand new nurse, when we first met. There are 60+ nurses total in our department. We always had a pretty good relationship and worked well together; I think the world of him and have a ton of respect for all he does. I went to a different department in a different building a few months ago, and when I left, he invited me to dinner with my favorite co-nurse (that he also works with; she is in her 40s, married) to "thank me for all I've done". We exchanged personal phone numbers in order to coordinate the dinner. We never talked personally until that night, and we talked for a good 3+ hours about pretty much everything. We went to a rather romantic dinner spot, (he picked it, and paid for our dinners and drinks) and we sat on the patio by the fire. In the middle of the evening, he asked if I was dating anyone or even if I had any prospects, I laughed it off and said no since I am single and truthfully I don't have any prospects.

2023.03.20 20:51 aowshadow (Spoilers Extended) The Robin Ryger/Desmond Grell little mystery – potential spoiler for TWOW
To quote an old TV show: "where in the world is Desmond Grell?"
Tldr – here’s who Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell are; where we will probably see then in TWOW; why they have some degree of importance.
Not only he’s the one who escorted Cleos Frey. He’s also a very useful tertiary character, because GRRM uses him to “break the ice” between Jaime and the readers when he allows the Kingslayer to display his proverbial sense of humor in early ASOS:
Guess who are the two obvious exceptions? Of course, you are right. And still, both Cersei and Brienne fail to see his hilarious side most of the time.
GRRM also uses Ryger to break the ice between Jaime and Brienne. Jaime’s ego would never allow him to admit he’s helping someone straight to their faces, so he uses ser Ryger as a convenient excuse.
Desmond Grell is an old knight from Hoster Tully's retinue.
Whenever Edmure leaves Riverrun, be it for battles or marriages, Grell rules in his absence. Noteworthy that whenever a Tully shows up (like the Blackfish in AFFC), he immediately steps aside. He's an old, loyal man.
Notice that both Ryger and Grell have something personal against Jaime: while Ryger was humiliated and sinked in ASOS (thus failing his mission against the Kingslayer), Grell did actually lose his squire because of Jaime.
Beside their possible beef with Jaime and their loyalty to Robb's cause, they have another thing in common: they surrendered to Jaime, but also asked him a very peculiar request.
This is perfectly in line with Jaime's newfound AFFC trajectory (his campaign in the Riverlands is a masterclass as far as peace and honor go, but also a neverending sequence of mistakes for the Lannister’s cause) and what he chooses to do right after is absolutely coherent: he lets them keep their weapons and sends Raff the Sweetling & co. to escort them to Maidenpool.
But what about Wylis Manderly? Well, do you remember that chilling speech fromTitus Andronicus Wyman Manderly? The one that ends with…
But since Wylis reached White Harbor, where in the world are Grell and Ryger?
This opens up for few possibilities. Ryger and Grell (from now on G, for brevity) could only end up with one of four options:
Jaime's a hundred things, but he's not a windbag: he talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Raff’s a hundred of horrible things, but he's not completely stupid. If there’s one thing that Jaime never lost through the entirety of Asoiaf, is the credibility of his threats.
And again, if G were dead I bet Raff would have mentioned it with some joke in the Mercy spoilers.
And to top it all, Wyman Manderly already proved that he has some info he kept for himself (see: ADWD Davos IV)
Funny thing is, even if G were serious about their vow to go to the Wall, they would be stuck with Manderly anyways: climate conditions don’t allow them to leave Winterfell in any case!
Jaime's doing the honorable thing, once again, is risking to harm back the Lannister cause.
Thanks for reading.

Tldr – here’s who Robin Ryger and Desmond Grell are; where we will probably see then in TWOW; why they have some degree of importance.
Quick reminder about the two characters
Robin Ryger worked for Robb during the Five Kings War.Not only he’s the one who escorted Cleos Frey. He’s also a very useful tertiary character, because GRRM uses him to “break the ice” between Jaime and the readers when he allows the Kingslayer to display his proverbial sense of humor in early ASOS:
In his day Ser Robin Ryger had been a notably tenacious fighter, but his day was done; he was of an age with Hoster Tully, and had grown old with his lord. When the boats were fifty yards apart, Jaime cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted back over the water. "Come to wish me godspeed, Ser Robin?" "Come to take you back, Kingslayer," Ser Robin Ryger bellowed. "How is it that you've lost your golden hair?" "I hope to blind my enemies with the sheen off my head. It's worked well enough for you."Little note for those who like analysis: Jaime's humor works only when we are in his POV. Outside of it, more often than not he looks like an asshole because 90% of the POVs that interact with Jaime... hates him!
Guess who are the two obvious exceptions? Of course, you are right. And still, both Cersei and Brienne fail to see his hilarious side most of the time.
GRRM also uses Ryger to break the ice between Jaime and Brienne. Jaime’s ego would never allow him to admit he’s helping someone straight to their faces, so he uses ser Ryger as a convenient excuse.
"You're hard enough to look at with a nose. Besides, I wanted to make the goat say 'thapphireth.'" He chuckled. "A good thing for you I'm such a liar. An honorable man would have told the truth about the Sapphire Isle." "All the same," she said. "I thank you, ser." His hand was throbbing again. He ground his teeth and said, "A Lannister pays his debts. That was for the river, and those rocks you dropped on Robin Ryger."
Whenever Edmure leaves Riverrun, be it for battles or marriages, Grell rules in his absence. Noteworthy that whenever a Tully shows up (like the Blackfish in AFFC), he immediately steps aside. He's an old, loyal man.
Notice that both Ryger and Grell have something personal against Jaime: while Ryger was humiliated and sinked in ASOS (thus failing his mission against the Kingslayer), Grell did actually lose his squire because of Jaime.
Beside their possible beef with Jaime and their loyalty to Robb's cause, they have another thing in common: they surrendered to Jaime, but also asked him a very peculiar request.
Two men did not choose to depart with the others. Ser Desmond Grell, Lord Hoster's old master-at-arms, preferred to take the black. So did Ser Robin Ryger, Riverrun's captain of guards. "This castle's been my home for forty years," said Grell. "You say I'm free to go, but where? I'm too old and too stout to make a hedge knight. But men are always welcome at the Wall." "As you wish," said Jaime, though it was a bloody nuisance.
The black vow and Jaime's honorable decision
Jamie takes Riverrun while avoiding a bloodshed, and when the two ask to take the black he complies. Of course, because that's the honorable thing to do.This is perfectly in line with Jaime's newfound AFFC trajectory (his campaign in the Riverlands is a masterclass as far as peace and honor go, but also a neverending sequence of mistakes for the Lannister’s cause) and what he chooses to do right after is absolutely coherent: he lets them keep their weapons and sends Raff the Sweetling & co. to escort them to Maidenpool.
He allowed them to keep their arms and armor, and assigned a dozen of Gregor Clegane's men to escort the two of them to Maidenpool. The command he gave to Rafford, the one they called the Sweetling. "See to it that the prisoners reach Maidenpool unspoiled," he told the man, "or what Ser Gregor did to the Goat will seem a jolly lark compared to what I'll do to you."Speaking of Maidenpool, Jaime also sends there Ronnet Connington, with different orders:
Jaime had charged Red Ronnet with the task of delivering Wylis Manderly to Maidenpool, so he would not need to look on him henceforth.Let’s consider for a second who this three prisoners are: not only the first two are Stark/Tully loyalists to the core, they are also witnesses to the real numbers of the Lannister force. There's a reason why Brynden Tully was comfortable keeping the Riverrun siege until Jaime threatened him with Edmure's life. And guess what? Brynden Tully is still roaming free (more on him later).
But what about Wylis Manderly? Well, do you remember that chilling speech from
I drink with Jared, jape with Symond, promise Rhaegar the hand of my own beloved granddaughter … but never think that means I have forgotten. The north remembers, Lord Davos. The north remembers, and the mummer's farce is almost done. My son is home.Well, Wylis’ newfound safety is why Wyman’s bloody revenge starts.
But since Wylis reached White Harbor, where in the world are Grell and Ryger?
Tracking down the movements
In ADwD epilogue we know that Randyll Tarly met both parties."How many men-at-arms accompanied Ser Ronnet to the city?" Ser Kevan asked. "Twenty," said Lord Randyll Tarly, "and most of them Gregor Clegane's old lot. Your nephew Jaime gave them to Connington. To rid himself of them, I'd wager. They had not been in Maidenpool a day before one killed a man and another was accused of rape. I had to hang the one and geld the other. If it were up to me, I would send them all to the Night's Watch, and Connington with them. The Wall is where such scum belong."But then, in TWOW Mercy, we know that Raff the Sweetling moved from Maidenpool to Braavos to guard Harys Swyft. This means that his escort mission was over.
This opens up for few possibilities. Ryger and Grell (from now on G, for brevity) could only end up with one of four options:
- Case 1: reach the NW by going straight to Eastwatch by the sea.
- Case 2: Raff & co. killed them.
Jaime's a hundred things, but he's not a windbag: he talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Raff’s a hundred of horrible things, but he's not completely stupid. If there’s one thing that Jaime never lost through the entirety of Asoiaf, is the credibility of his threats.
And again, if G were dead I bet Raff would have mentioned it with some joke in the Mercy spoilers.
- Case 3: they took the Kingsroad, and then went for Winterfell.
- Case 4, most likely: they travelled with Wylis Manderly.
And to top it all, Wyman Manderly already proved that he has some info he kept for himself (see: ADWD Davos IV)
Funny thing is, even if G were serious about their vow to go to the Wall, they would be stuck with Manderly anyways: climate conditions don’t allow them to leave Winterfell in any case!
Why does it matter?
Because now we have a potential link between the North (Manderly & co.) and the Riverlands (Brynden Tully, and possibly the BWB, if the theories of Brynden coming in contact with them will prove to be true).Jaime's doing the honorable thing, once again, is risking to harm back the Lannister cause.

2023.03.20 20:51 monkeycolada12 google play refund?
i was using this app pretty regularly until my phone got stolen about a week ago. i got a new phone but my save data didn't transfer over, so i decided to start from scratch again. since i restarted i figured i would give the free trial another go so i could give my baby finch some cute outfits, and immediately got charged the $40! i remember clicking on something that said "try finch plus trial, cancel anytime" and then seeing the charge on my bank account a few minutes later. i tried sending a refund request on google play and so far nothing. i checked the reddit and all refunds go through the respective app stores, so i haven't tried messaging finch themselves yet about it. any advice?

2023.03.20 20:51 blykoger Haley Strategic is a shady company
Just want to share my story in case anyone was thinking about risking a purchase from these money grabbers. I purchased a TRMP and a Thorax from Haley Strategic on Nov 26th.
My package supposedly arrived on December 9th but I never received it. I waited a few extra days as I know the USPS can sometimes say it was delivered but they really mean to the local building. Nothing came and so I put in a contact request to get some assistance. (I would like to add I have cameras at my mailbox so I would see if it was taken/dropped off)
I informed Haley strategic of my issue and they told me to contact USPS which of course I had already done. I even drove to my local USPS to see if they were holding it for some reason and I got nothing. After telling me this they stopped replying to my emails. I sent a follow up email on Jan 9th to ask if there was anything I could do to help. Still no response.
I thought maybe they had closed my support ticket so I wrote another detailing steps I had already taken and asking what could be done. At this point they never replied to me again I sent 2-3 more tickets over the course of Jan and Feb.
Eventually I requested a charge back from my bank in which Haley disputed my bank and claimed that all products and services had been fulfilled. I’m at a loss at this point and out $300+. I ordered a Defense mechanisms MEPC as they have never failed to deliver a product to me.
TLDR: Haley strategic took my money and never got me my product.
If anyone knows if there is recourse I can take because like most of us I am not made of money to be burning 300 dollars with no return.

2023.03.20 20:50 anonymousconsciosnes What is your opinion on the concept of genetic post-humanism? Details in the desc.
The concept of genetic post-humanism is to use genetic transhumanism which consists of genetic engineering in humans, in this case to achieve a non human appearance and functions, essentially becoming another species, a post human being if you will.
Examples: a person can use genetic engineering to become a newly created humanoid species with a designated function for things like a certain work or cosmetic effect, an alien species or any "fictional" species like a furry, orc, elf, etc.

2023.03.20 20:50 ca_uwab SAVE Case Check Social Security
Does anyone know how long it takes to get social security after being approved for EAD and AP. The box to automatically be sent a SS after being approved was ticked on the forms we sent to USCIS but because we didn't receive my SS a week after receiving the combo card in hand we went to the SS office and applied there too. It has been over month and SAVE Case Check just shows 'under review' I am a bit annoyed because we have been waiting to get my SS so that my partner and I can file taxes jointly.

2023.03.20 20:49 FreeLegos Need some help, can't see my chat and I've tried a lot of different things...
My chat box is there but the only thing I see is "My character has arrived!" but any other messages, even if they're shouts or someone talking next to me, nothing appears in my chat window. It's annoying cause I won't know someone is talking to me unless I'm always attentive of the sides of my screen. My chat window pops up if someone shouts but nothing is in it, it's more of a way of notifying me that someone shouted so I have to look around to find where the shout came from so I can read it on screen before it vanishes.
I host a modded server from my PC (not dedicated, I just leave my char AFK in the pause menu whenever I'm not playing in case someone else wants to play). I (think) problems started to arise when I tried to transfer my server world files to a separate computer. I think I may have messed up somewhere along the way?
Idk if it's a mod thing but my mods are
- BepInEx
- ConfiurationManager
- ModConfigEnforcer
- Odinflight
- TeleportEverything
- CartographySkill
- Quality of Life
The most recent mod I downloaded (which was around the time I tried to do the file transfer so idk if it was the cause or not) was Quality of Life. Barely touched any of the mod's settings aside from TeleportEverything's transporting allies settings
I've tried validating my files, uninstalling and reinstalling the game, removing all the mods, booting up the game in vanilla and still nothing.

2023.03.20 20:47 Lukedurdin_Art HELP - New Build No Video
Hey everyone, I just put together this new Build and I can't get any Video. I've done everything I can think of and listed below is all I have done. PC starts up, fans are all running.
Checked cpu for bent pins. Used Pcie slot 2. Used ram is each of the 4 slots. Used hdmi port. Used hdmi to Display port adapter. Cpu doesn't support on board graphics but still attempted with motherboard hdmi slots. Attempted with another gtx 650 graphics card. Ran PC with no case plug ins (only power button). Used only ssd. Used only HD. Had windows boot USB plugged In. Tried a different monitor. Double, triple checked all connections.. Reset cmos.
Still no video.
Other notes: Unfortunately the case I bought (deep cool cg540) has no speaker plug in or led plugins so I can't get the Asus Power Led codes.
Keyboard turns on then off within 2 seconds of start up.
Intel Arc lights up after 5 mins of running.
Please let me know any suggestions you may have.

2023.03.20 20:47 awayintheshire [QCrit] YA High Fantasy Romance - Monstrous [3rd attempt]
Hi everyone! I genuinely appreciate the detailed responses I have gotten on my past two attempts (attempt 1, attempt 2) and would genuinely appreciate if I could get more thoughts on the query below!
I've tried hard to incorporate every bit of feedback to ensure that this passes muster this time. I'd be grateful for your thoughts!
Dear Agent,
Based on your interest in voice-driven stories with bite, you may be interested in MONSTROUS, a 100,000-word standalone YA fantasy with crossover appeal. It combines the murder mystery of DOWN COMES THE NIGHT by Allison Saft with the enemies-to-lovers romance of Kerri Maniscalco's KINGDOM OF THE WICKED and centers a bisexual heroine of color with PTSD.
Eighteen-year-old Sarai has bled to death before. Four years ago, she was found in pieces at the bottom of a tower with only one ugly memory of how she got there. Her miraculous survival was punctuated by a small snag: no one believed she was pushed, and she was thrown out of the capital for daring to seek justice. Now, all Sarai wants is blood. Hiding her identity, she returns to the scene of the crime as a Petitor, a prosecutor who magically detects lies. Her goal is simple: secretly investigate her near-death and ruin the man responsible. Revenge seems close at hand when she is chosen to work for the Tetrarchy, the coalition of judges ruling the land. Until she is assigned to the youngest Tetrarch, Kadra – whose voice matches her only memory of her assailant.
Ice-cold and perennially sadistic, Kadra channels both vices into razing corruption via burnings and beheadings. So, the entire country is bewildered when he invites the Petitor who eyes him with hatred to live with him while she learns the ropes of the job. Eager for evidence to ruin him, Sarai agrees and begins a double life: solving cases with Kadra by day and searching his tower at night. Yet, Kadra is a surprise: both the madman half the country fears and the vicious champion of justice the other half adores. And as case after case places the Tetrarchy’s corrupt legal system at odds with Kadra’s brutal methods of righting wrongs, Sarai’s faith in her vengeance wavers. Worse, she grows dangerously attracted to the man and his philosophy.
Because something is rotten in the land, and Kadra is keeping secrets. Petitors fall from towers in the dead of night. Whispers abound of a killer in the Tetrarchy. And another fanatically religious Tetrarch seems far too suspect. As evidence mounts on both sides of the balance and fear runs rampant on who the next dead Petitor will be, Sarai must determine monster from madman and liar from lover. Or choose the one person no one sought justice for – herself.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
[Weary Writer Person]

Hiding her identity, she returns to the scene of the crime as a Petitor, a prosecutor who magically detects lies. Her goal is simple: secretly investigate her near-death and ruin the man responsible. Revenge seems close at hand when she is chosen to work for the Tetrarchy, the coalition of judges ruling the land. Until she is assigned to the youngest Tetrarch, Kadra – whose voice matches her only memory of her assailant.
Ice-cold and perennially sadistic, Kadra channels both vices into razing corruption via burnings and beheadings. So, the entire country is bewildered when he invites the Petitor who eyes him with hatred to live with him while she learns the ropes of the job. Eager for evidence to ruin him, Sarai agrees and begins a double life: solving cases with Kadra by day and searching his tower at night. Yet, Kadra is a surprise: both the madman half the country fears and the vicious champion of justice the other half adores. And as case after case places the Tetrarchy’s corrupt legal system at odds with Kadra’s brutal methods of righting wrongs, Sarai’s faith in her vengeance wavers. Worse, she grows dangerously attracted to the man and his philosophy.
Because something is rotten in the land, and Kadra is keeping secrets. Petitors fall from towers in the dead of night. Whispers abound of a killer in the Tetrarchy. And another fanatically religious Tetrarch seems far too suspect. As evidence mounts on both sides of the balance and fear runs rampant on who the next dead Petitor will be, Sarai must determine monster from madman and liar from lover. Or choose the one person no one sought justice for – herself.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

2023.03.20 20:46 PersonWhoLikes2 OPINION: The top 10 worst things Joe has done
10. Murdering Vic
Killing this guy wasn't self defence as many claim. He was pointing a gun at Joe after finding out he killed Malcolm. And he was literally phoning the police to turn Joe in when it happened. So Joe evidently wasn't in any danger unless he would have attacked him first.
And Vic shooting Joe after seeing him creepily stalk Kate, finding out that he murdered Malcolm and then getting attacked by him is self defence.
Joe murdered him to get away with his crimes. That's all there is to it.
9. Murdering Hugo
This guy was just doing his job, and just happened to be seriously unlucky and in the wrong place at the wrong time. And for that minor offence, he had his ankle slit and was murdered.
A bit worse than the Vic situation, in that Joe landed himself in this predicament through his own actions (tying up Tom and preparing to murder him), where as at least in the Vic case he was caught off guard.
8. Murdering Eddie
Again, another murder Joe committed because he'd rather a person died than he had to own up to his crimes.
Worse than the Hugo situation as this was premeditated. He had already constructed a frame job for Eddie so evidently this had been in the works for more time.
7. Murdering Beck
So Joe had murdered Benji and Peach. Of course he didn't want to accept the consequences and allow justice to them and their families. So he murders yet another person instead.
Worse than the Eddie situation as the way in which he killed Beck was much more violent. He killed her via strangulation, as was revealed through Beck's ghost showing Joe her neck in season 2, and Joe strangling Forty after he said the things Beck said to him before he killed her.
6. Trying to murder Candace
I think this was worse than the Beck case because Beck was a much larger threat to him. She would have had him in prison for two murders.
Candace threatened him with an assault and abduction sentence. Lesser threat, yet Joe still resorted to the same solution.
5. Murdering Benji
So this was the same threat as the Candace situation. Joe killed Benji to get away with assault and abduction. Except I think it was worse because this was premeditated. Joe had to prepare the poison and then take it down to Benji and watch him drink it.
4. Murdering Peach
I think this is worse than all of the crimes so far as the rest were at least done for self preservation. Nowhere near an excuse, but at least a better reason then...
Killing someone so you can keep dating a girl...
Any info Peach may have gained on Joe comes from his attempts to kill her. So ultimately, he decided to kill this woman so he could keep dating Beck. To him, his relationship has more value than a person's life.
3. Framing Dr Nicky
I think this is worse than the former 7 because it's not something he did just once. He does it every day. He could confess to the framing and set Dr Nicky free from prison and clear his name. But he refuses every second of every day to do so.
He can't unkill people, but he can free Dr Nicky. Yet he doesn't.
2. Framing Nadia
Same thing as the Dr Nicky one, except Nadia is a much better person. So defo worse.
1. Murdering Elijah
I think this one is the utter worst because.... He didn't even do it to get something. There was literally no practical gain from this. He just... killed him.
Brutal.

2023.03.20 20:46 HappyRaccoon222 Feeling discouraged about my chances, could use advice
I'm currently 26.
The first year of undergrad I messed up all of my classes, I had an illness that was undiagnosed until the end of the year and left school for 3 years to seek treatment and work.
I worked in the mental healthcare field and received certifications instead of attending college.
I returned to college and have been attending for 2 years now. I have received almost all A's (2 B's) for every class that I've taken since returning (40+ hours) but it only brought my gpa to a 3.2 I am taking the LSAT in June.
My 2 PT'S have been mid 150's (155 area). I have studied for a month and have drilled extensively since taking both PT's and will take another one in a few days. I don't believe I'll have issues getting to a 160 by then.
I hope to apply by November, but I will only be able to add 27 hours max, (if I take 4 summer classes) to my gpa. I will be able to finish my degree next May with 40 more hours in fall/wintespring classes.
I hope to get as much $ for scholarships as possible. I am 26 and am anxious to start law school at 28 (if I push it back another year). I am worried about graduating with so much debt at 31, even though I know plenty do it.
I have been planning to apply for the upcoming cycle but just learned my cumulative gpa after transferring all credits.
Any advice?

2023.03.20 20:46 stressedout89 helping scammer transfer money
My mom recently helped a guy she met online transfer money. She never saw him in person, is all through messaging on her phone. She previously did it with another guy and after being definitely scammed, she had promised us she will never do it again. But now she did it again with someone else, I'm really frustrated. I don't want to yell at her because I don't want her to close off and not tell us anything. But at this point, after all the warnings we've given her, and she still doing it, I feel like there's nothing else we can say or do. I have warned her of potential money laundering, getting herself in trouble, she said she understands. She even said this time is only a one time thing, no more. I can only take her word for it and hope she really doesn't do this again. I'm just so frustrated but also at a loss of words. She is so naive and easy to trust people, but she can't listen to what her family tells her?

2023.03.20 20:45 Eleganos A technical, non-moralist breakdown of why the rich will not, and cannot, kill off the poor via a robot army.
Preface/TLDR: My arguments below aren't based wholly in some nebulous belief in human goodness.
I accept the shitty realities of human civilisation, even as someone who does try to see the bright side of life.
However, those are by and large evils caused by malicious negligence in some cases, and scrupulous selfish opportunism in other.
Neither of which would be present in a 'kill the normies' plan.
Rich people do not see themselves as a collective in-group, and they are not want to sink God knows how much of their hard earned resources into making an army of Death bots when their collaborators could rat on them at any time and initiate a corporate takeover or monopoly thanks to their no longer existent competition. Or to satisfy some petty personal vendetta. Or get good pr. Or any other number of immediately gratifying selfish reasons that, while screwing over the majority's plans for global genocide, would dramatically improve the life of whoever screwed them over.
Rich people are not known for being cooperative team players.
The 'cull the poores' scenario isn't plausible for solely moral reasons. It is just impossible on a technical and logistical level.
To elaborate...
I'm not denying rich are shitty, and I won't deny some places have it bad, or that some rich people WOULD kill the poor if they could.
I just deny the sheer ludicrous scale of what would be needed to formulate, prepare, and execute a 'kill the normies' plan.
It assumes that...
If it isn't synchronized, it gives the human race a chance to see the knife being drawn and do something before the rich try to thrust it into us.
If there's backstabbing, namely infighting, it'd Drain their resources AND give us that moment of realization in one. Assuming the plan isn't just killed in its infancy or that they don't mutual kill each other in some sort of wealthy civil war.
If there's incompetence on their end, say they get sloppy and the CIA finds out about the rich illuminati planning on killing us all. Or they recruit Elon Musk and he decides to betray them all so he can stoke his ego by being remembered in history as the man who saved humanity, or they fuck up and their killer robots/AGI become free before the butchery can begin, then they'll just be fucked.
And that'll be it. The moment we find out they tried and failed to kill us all enough people will be pissed off and willing to throw hands that they won't get another shot.
This is a statistical reality.
Even if there's only 1% out of them all who have working moral compasses and would not be down for the mass genocide, when we're talking about what would need to be a global conspiracy, that's more than enough for one of them to be recruited into the conspiracy, or otherwise learn of it through other means, and utilize their resources and political power to counteract it.
Even if only, as I pointed out with my Elon Musk example, to assert themselves as the neo messiah/s who saved humanity from the other, evil rich people.
Billions of people equals trillions of bullets, trillions of microchips, metrics fucktons of steel and plastic and circuitry and God knows what else. It requires hundreds of factories and dozens of shipping route configurations to transfer materials between them all
And this is all without getting into where the fuck they're storing these murder robots/drones to begin with. You can't exactly hide a fighting force big enough to literally end 90% of the human race in a couple of warehouses. You'd need a whole city's worth of storage at the absolute bare minimum. Assuming they sprang for exclusively compact drones and not the outright terminators lots of people seem to be imagining.
Because I can actually buy the American government, for example, hashing out the logistics, the coordination, and enacting the plan with the motive of imperialism and enforcing an authoritarian peace/rule over the planet.
At the least, if the tech existed to just churn out robot armies, en-mass, first world nations would be building up artificial fighting forces with that tech to levels comparable to the rich's secret army of Doom. Armies that would definitely be used to achieve zero casualty precision military campaigns in foreign lands. In regions that had been previously unconquearble due to the death toll, morale tax, and corruption issues in previous attempts at subjugation.
If nothing else, this would be a litmus test and a big red flag to anyone with half a brain and ability to discern the consequences of it.
Especially if it came out that rich people were churning these killer robots out en mass for 'reasons'.
And all this is without asking what happens when some poorer governments who weren't let in on the plan and subverted by the rich (under the logic of 'fuck em, they're poor, who gives a shit') turn out to have secretly squirrels away a few nukes. With which they could enact a forced peace under M.A.D or ruin the days of the perpetrators who caused this shitstorm as a final middle finger.
At that point...why do they need to kill the poor...
Like, what do the actually gain from it?
More land?
More resources?
They can get infinite of both. And could kick anyone they wanted dout of their land at a moment's notice.
To get more money? To rid themselves of the proles?
There are easier ways to do the former now that they basically own the planet from the shadows with their secret army of Doom, and if they kill all the poors then they aren't rich anymore. Their lives literally wouldn't change other than them being on the same level as each other, which when considering all the egomaniacs amongst them...would not end well...
This whole scheme would be more trouble than it'd be worth. Yes, most rich entities are shitty and commit crimes. But, if you'll notice, they haven't exactly been taking over any countries single-handedly as of late. Or trying to overthrow their own nations. Because it's more headache than it's worth. Why risk everything for a plan that wouldn't really personally enrich you all that much.
Cause remember: they all have to share their 'winnings'amongst themselves after rthe normies are dead. And if there's one thing thing the rich hate. It's sharing.
They now have to 'divvy the spoils'.
In what world does this not end with them turning on each other at the end so they can 'win more?
They've already illustrated an insanity beyond anything previously demonstrated din the history of the human race. The butchery of the whole species just so they can be the kings of skull mountain.
Except they aren't the kings yet. Oh no, there's still thousands of lesser rich people trying to hog that land and money.
And so, with no more external enemies left to unite them, they'd do what humans have done time and time again in comparable historical situations: turn on one another.
At which point they're liable to just end up wiping each othe Rout.
So even in a scenario where, by some absolute ridiculous miracle they 'win', they've still not won just yet.
And if they've not killed off all the poors. If a few thousand survived through the 8000 separate one-in-a-million chances that occurred throughout the cull of 8 billion, and if the rich deplete themselves enough over their mutual fights with one another, thinking themselves fre eof any other potential threat, then the proles might yet get their win.
So even in the perfect, impossible scenario where they win. The proves have an equal, if not more enjoyable win condition for the aftermath of the global cull.
In conclusion: I don't say this scenario is dumb because I'm a hopeful optimistic who has unwavering faith in human goodness (though I won't deny it either)
It's just not a plausible scenario that's feasible outside of a dystopian sci-fi novel.
If you like theory crafting it, or you enjoy thinking up ways it could happen and debating over them, then you do you.
Just be honest about the fantasy that is this scenario.
It's not going to happen.
And if you really thought it was going to, then you'd be a fool for seeing it coming not actively working on an escape plan so you can be one of the one-in-a-million lucky survivor's who'd slip through the cracks.
That's basically everything I've to say on this.
I await the inevitable responses on how I'm dumb and wrong and I gladly anticipate the voices of those who concur or otherwise have something new to add to the discussion.
(This post is not a personal attack on anyone, just the bad take. It is not meant to insult or denigrate any parties.)

2023.03.20 20:45 savoysky I am a non-resident of the UK, do I have to prove residency in another country and pay taxes there?
We have an LLP and we distribute profits from it. The owners are all non-residents. We will pay personal tax on the distributed profits in the country of residence and submit the assessment forms to HMRC. Will we have to provide proof of tax payment in another country to HMRC? Like a certificate of residency, or a paper from the other country's tax office about the payment of tax? Bank statements of transfers? I want to plan ahead and get all the documents so I don't have to run around the tax office begging for quicker service and praying that the post will not lose my mail again.
