Hello all,
After nearly 10 months of ownership I've decided to sell my Pulse 15 Gen 2 for something with more oomph in terms of graphics.
The laptop is in excellent condition. I've kept it docked most of the time so I opted to use the max. 80% battery charge feature that Tuxedo OS offers. The SSD is showing a smart-log usage percentage of 0% with 100% available spares (full smart-log in the images). The configuration is as follows:
- AMD Ryzen 5700U - 64 GB RAM - Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 & Bluetooth 5.2 - Czech/US ISO-style keyboard layout - 500GB SN750 SSD (NVMe PCIe gen3, not part of the laptop order!) - without Windows
Shipping in the original box with instructions and WebFAI USB stick. There is currently no OS installed! The price is I'm asking for is 1350 Euros excluding shipping which will be from the Czech Republic.

Hi guys. I need some advice. As the title suggests, this is my first time building my own PC. I got everything that I think I need.

Background

Just turned 50 this year (50M) and started running (again) in Oct’22 from a base of zero exercise for the past five years (excepting having 3 small boys (5,7,&9) and the hustle of daily life, family walks, family activities etc. In 2014 I did a couch25k and between 2014-2017 started to run commute into work averaging about 10km per week over this period - (2014 - 900km; 2015 - 500km; 2016 - 650km; 2017 (jan-aug) - 500km). This culminated in a half-marathon race (Rock n Roll Dublin) in 2017 for which I didn’t follow a training plan but did a few longer runs of 13k(ish) and finished in c. 1:48 (ran out of steam at c.19k and had to run/walk a couple of times to finish).
Before 2014 - there was no exercise/running/training/gym - I was relatively ‘active’ but no sports/activities to note.
In October last year (‘22), I decided to go for a run to see how it felt and surprised myself by running 7km @ 6:10/km pace. I enjoyed it, and decided to get back running with a vague aspiration to complete a marathon in my 50th year….

Training

… so I started training. Decided in November to book a bib in the Edinburgh marathon, figuring that 7 months should give me a decent enough training block. Avg went from 50km/week to 100km/week over this period.

Month	Distance	Avg Pace
Nov	216km	6:16/km
Dec	321km	6:07/km
Jan	284km	5:26/km
Feb	237km	5:25/km
Mar	291km	5:19km
Apr	412km	5:07/km
May	305km	5:00/km

Didn’t follow a specific plan (per se), generally ran 5 or 6 days a week with one long run (5:00/km to 5:30/km), one medium/tempo type run (4:40/km to 5:00/km), three easy runs (5:20/km) and a sprinkling of ParkRuns.
I had no (observable) issues in stepping up the mileage over this period, two small injury niggles,one in Nov and one in Feb, and I rested with no reoccurrence of either.
I self-diagnosed regularly occurring foot pain as a Mortons Neuroma (flared up after c.9km and could be run through - but painful) and went through a variety of shoe types to lessen the flare-ups. Settled on Altra’s and roomy footbox, which worked for me.
Parkrun (5k) times went from 25:26 (Oct’22) to 19:06 (May’22) over this period.
Other notable times -
10k times - avg sub-45mins on tempo/fast runs
Half-marathons - (did over 20 runs at this distance over the 7 months) ran x2 sub 1:40 and x1 sub 1:34 during the block (not races, just fast/tempo runs)
In Mar&Apr’23 I completed x5 long runs >30km (longest @33km) and a further x2 (27km & 29km) as part of the build up.
I trained with SIS gels and a water bottle filled with Tailwind mix during the long-runs and they settled ok, a little queasy but ok (I did all other runs (<27km) without nutrition or water)
The <1:35 half-marathon was the last fast/long run before the start of the taper (from 100km to 80km (wk1) to 55km (wk2) to 25km (wk3)).

Plan & Pre-race

All marathon time predictors (runalyze; metathon; crplots) had me at a 3:10 to 3:12 marathon time based on my strava logs - I felt this was optimistic (4:34/km) as I had a tendency to drift (pace & heartrate) on longer runs. Based on the half-marathon times in the training block I felt i could sustain close to that pace for maybe 30km - but >40km would be a push - so settled on the following plan for race day:
First 16km (10 miles) at 4:40/km, next 16km (10miles) at 4:50/km, last 10km to keep legs moving and hold-on to the finish. Goal A - was to run a sub 3:25.
Pre-race prep was unremarkable - flew to Scotland (from Dublin) on Friday evening - ate well Fri/Sat (lots of pasta, steak, bread) slept ok . Collected bib Saturday morning, pottered around the city for a couple of hours , rested the rest of the day.
Race day morning, grabbed a banana, coffee, croissant - had 500ml of tailwind c. 2 hours before start - greased myself up (sunscreen & anti-chafe), bathroom, checked bag, warmed-up (stretches/gentle jog). Fuelling plan for the race was a gel every 6km topped-up with Tailwind which I carried in a hand-held bottle.
Weather was warm and overcast at the start (10am)

Race

Start was largely downhill for the first 8km, and I tried to keep the pace under control. Legs felt strong and were turning-over well. Despite best efforts, the combination of the downhill, first marathon excitement, over-confidence, other runners pace, me being an idiot, had the first 8km in c.4:35/km pace - which was faster than intended, but not wildly so. The course then hit the sea front and the breeze helped to take the edge off the pace and I settled into the target pace of 4:40/km (-ish) for the next 8km.
Took the gels at 6km, 12km and 18km and sipped from the hand-held bottle (tailwind) throughout. I grabbed a few gulps from the on-course water as I ran-by. Weather started to warm-up as the sun broke through the clouds.
Hit 16km feeling good - slightly ahead of target pace and the race-plan was to run the second 16km at an avg 4:50/km so I eased off a little to adjust to plan. Hit half marathon in 1:38ish which was ahead of plan, but I felt ok, knew I had completed a 1:34 half a few weeks back and the race-strategy was to target 4:50/km from 16k to 32k.
Then things changed at around 23/24k mark - legs started to lose some power which came as a surprise, I also started to feel a little nauseous. I skipped taking the planned gel at 24k as i felt i would be ill if i forced it down.
At 25k I just couldn’t hold a sub5:00/km pace at all. I recognised that I was in trouble and it was barely half-way through. Resolved to move to my long-run pace for the training block at 5:20/km and hoped this could see me through to the end. Took a gel at 30k and temperatures were getting warmer. Despite all the difficulties I hit 30k in 2:24 (avg. 4:50km) but i was weakening and getting worried.
When I reached 32k in the marathon I knew I was fucked, pace had slipped to 6:00/km, sun was beating down, other runners were struggling, and I started negotiating with myself to just. keep. running.
By 35k I had to start run/walking as my legs had completely gone. I was gutted but there was nothing left in the tank. Walking through the two water stations I could actually drink the bottles of water and was surprised at how thirsty/dehydrated I was. Pace times dropped off as I continued to run/walk for the next 5k. Nearing the end I gave it everything I had to run the final 2k.
Crossed the finish in 3:43

Post-Race

Disappointed I couldn't run the whole 42k but recognise sub 3:45 is an achievement for a 50year old (couch to marathon in 7 months).
Hard to rationalise what went wrong here - initial thoughts:
1). Over-fatigued / over-trained - despite feeling strong during training this was not actually the case - taper ineffective (??)
2). Target pace too aggressive - over-confident/ego/greedy - did not respect the distance - went out too fast
3). Fuelling/hydration was wrong - sweated too much -relied on tailwind - did not take enough water on-course - skipped gel at 24k
probably a combination of all of the above factors.....

Next Steps

i) Rest for a week ii) Dublin marathon at the end of Oct iii) Start structured plan Pfitz. 18/55 or 18/70

29F, 5’5, I think I was around 10 and a half stone when i weight myself last. I have POTS and I’m on midodrine.
I know I need to go back to my doctor about it (he didn’t seem to care much when I mentioned it the first time) but I’m wondering if anyone could tell me what it possibly could be beforehand.
About a month ago I was lying in bed and my arm felt warm, I touched it but it wasn’t any hotter than the rest of my body. After a while the sensation started to spread to my right leg and the right side of my face. The way I’d describe it is like sitting inside a window on a hot day with the sun shining on one side of my face. The burning sensation wasn’t all over my right leg and arm, just on the outside parts. The right side of my throat felt tight too.
I went to a&e and they did my bloods and a CT scan and nothing showed up. They were going to send me for an MRI but they wanted me to wait for another two days in the hospital, and all I had was a bed trolly in a hallway and I just wanted to go home so I said I’d just go to my doctor Monday and ask him to refer me for an MRI privately.
The burning never went away, it just dulled a bit so it was more like I was aware of a sensation of one side of my body rather than a burning feeling.
When I went to my doctor he said and MRI probably wouldn’t show anything and then said nothing else. Honestly he was very dismissive about all my concerns that day.
Fast forward to last night and my right eye started burning. I have very bad dry eyes and I’ve been told I have rosacea so I put the burning down to that. But then the right side of my throat started to feel tight again, and this time instead of my arm and leg burning, they felt heavy like I’d have a bit of a workout just on one side. Even holding my phone in my right hand felt a bit harder than it should. My arm and leg weren’t shaking, I could hold out my arm on level with my left arm and it looked fine. I had no drooping on the side of my face so I know it wasn’t a stroke. It last about an hour this time and then went away.
I know i need to go to my doctor again and get a referral for a specialist, but it’ll be about two weeks before I can because I have POTS and the weather is so hot here right now that I’m too weak to go anywhere, which is why I’m asking here for now. I might try ring and see if they can do a phone consult but I’m not sure if they still do them.

What are the best settings for fgo, na and jp?

Yesterday (5.27.23), your brother streamed and I dropped in to chat with him. You then joined his game at some point. While on one hand, I was very happy to have your company (and my soul was absolutely thrilled), on the other hand, I felt weird and conflicted again because it must look so strange and awkward to you and probably makes you feel uncomfortable. "Why the hell does this guy keep chatting with my little brother whose like half his age??" And it's awkward for you because your brother knows I was/am your OG viewer and mod. Even to me it looks really strange. But then he opened up (several times) in yesterday's stream and expressed how much me being there means to him. He expresses this every stream I stop by, but really emphasized it yesterday. He said I was literally the reason he keeps streaming and how much he appreciates and loves me so much and really hopes I continue to stop by. This also seems like further evidence he is our soul brother.
In one of my earlier entries here years ago, I wrote how I suspected he was my soul brother. I said I'd bet if he and I were to connect (especially in person) he would sense some kind of connection with me. He might not feel the soul connection I feel, but I said that he'd probably feel there was something about me that made him feel a deeper connection with me. I wrote this before we had ever communicated in any way. And the way he feels about me now given our extremely limited interactions via Twitch (I've only stopped by and chatted in like a handful his streams) and Disc DMs (little more than a handful of times only) seems to prove I was right. He doesn't even know anything about me. (Who I am irl or what my connection with you or him is.) All he knows is I'm some guy you played with on PS4 and became your Twitch viewemod, and now I meditate and am spiritual. Oh and yesterday I said I used to be in the entertainment industry, but didn't elaborate. That's pretty much all he knows of me. I obviously haven't told him anything about our soul connection(s) as I wouldn't want to put you in an even more uncomfortable position.
He also messaged me on Disc before that I got him into meditation and that one of our conversations on his stream about a year ago has become one of his core most influential memories of his life. Wow. He must've been referring to our Alan Watts chat. We got into that because I remember seeing him listening to Alan Watts a lot in Disc a while ago. That's part of why I was very interested in chatting with him. That and of course because I feel he may be our soul brother. At the level of the person, although he is half my age, he really is an interesting person to me, and I really do like his friends. They all seem very deep, interesting, intelligent, and like really good kids.
Oh, one other very surprising time he messaged me was when he was going through a problematic time with his friend. He messaged me asking for help in how to let go of the bitterness he felt. I was so surprised because again, on the 3D level, I'm almost a complete stranger whom he's had such little interaction with. And so him messaging me out of the blue like that asking for help caught me off guard. But on the other hand, I realized it was likely his soul recognizing my soul (his big bro) and he somehow sensed that and came to me for help. But this was only one of our handful of interactions.
Anyway, in spite of weird/awkward appearance on the surface (I'm really, truly sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable!), I can already see the positive impact I am having on him and how that may grow far, far more. So I can at least see why HS is having me keep in touch with him.
​
Today:
I've been feeling waves of sorrow coming and going all throughout today. I didn't even know that I can still feel sorrow...amazing. I wonder if I'm feeling your sorrow too? It is a different, higher vibrational sorrow than the ordinary human sorrow, and not the type that drags me down into suffering or depression. It's a beautiful sorrow. The sorrow of my soul deeply longing for his eternal beloved. And intense soul love. My soul truly does yearn to be with you. I haven't felt this intense soul love since Higher Self took control and pulled me away from you over a year and a half ago. I still have no idea what that was about. Did HS put Soul to sleep or something? It's like the insane soul love and longing was instantly ended in that moment HS took over. It was so strange and confusing because it had absolutely nothing to do with anything you said or did or anything that happened in external reality.
Perhaps Plan A did fail, and HS took over to pull me away to see if a Plan B could be worked out. That's how it seems anyway. All the warnings of "time is running out, she needs to leave her succubus bf now or she will be trapped in the nightmare fate for the rest of her life!!" and the innumerable 666s everywhere that all kept building in frequency and intensity over several months, and then suddenly HS coming in in that one moment (the "possession" experience) and all of it coming to an end in that single moment with my connection to you going from 1000 to 0.
I didn't want to admit it, but as time went on, I began to feel that we really did run out of time and you got locked into the nightmare track. I didn't think I would ever connect with you again. Or if I did, perhaps just as a friend/acquaintance, with no intentions of Union. I was so shocked and in such disbelief. Especially since we had finally just begun connecting, with you modding me and me at last being able to chat with you via Twitch. "Finally! We are at last moving forward! We are going to make it!!" My hopes were at their highest, and I was so convinced we were at last moving towards Union. And then very shortly after, HS comes in and it all came to an end. Too little too late, I suppose.
I guess we either really needed to connect beyond Twitch and sooner, since Twitch chatting is just so limited and superficial. It is admittedly a bit frustrating chatting via Twitch. I'm all about honesty, openness, and authenticity even moreso now, and I can't even really connect with you in those ways via Twitch, nor vice versa. Not only am I reduced to mere text on a screen, but I have to talk about superficial, meaningless stuff that you feel is appropriate to discuss on your platform. I can't express how I really think/feel and I can't really connect with you. But anyway, I can see how there's no way that our connection of me just being words on a screen was going to get you to leave your boyfriend and move out to pursue a relationship with me. And especially in such a limited amount of time, with "time running out." So perhaps it was much too little, much too late.
I did look back and reflect occasionally since then and wondered wth went wrong, why Union failed, and what I could've done differently or how I could've saved you. I was constantly doing clearings and energetic work for you and I, and constantly working on my own growth--and I certainly grew lightyears in a very short time beyond what most will ever grow over their entire lives, not only on a personal level, but also on a spiritual level. I tried every approach I could think of and followed guidance as much as possible, from being extremely forward and open with my feelings and intentions to being more casual and just texting/DMing, but both would result in eventually getting ghosted. I asked if there was a better way to communicate, like talking on the phone or playing games together, but that was also ghosted. So then I tried backing off even more and just showing my quiet support by being there for all your streams and actually actively watching every stream (not just lurking) while just working even more intensively on my own growth. But after 2 years of that, all it led to between us was the promotion to interacting with you as text on your screen on your public platform, which again resulted in much too little much too late.
I write about this now to see if I might gain insight into what I might've missed. If Union really is still something the Divine is going to push for with a Plan B, it may be helpful to learn from the past. But on the other hand, having established direct connection with HS and HS now able to intervene, I guess if there really is something I can do differently, I will be pushed to take action in just that way if/when the time is appropriate. Beyond that, we must and will respect your choices/reactions completely, no matter what they may be. Or...who knows, perhaps it really is too late and Union really did fail beyond chance and I will just be a friend. Or perhaps I will be taken away again.
Whatever's going on, at the very least, it is very interesting watching play out. And such a mystery. I have no idea what to expect at any moment. Yes, I'm obviously concerned for you and really, truly hope we are able to help you achieve your highest good--whatever that may be. But I know that HS is doing everything in his power to help that to happen through me and whatever I can influence, and the rest is beyond my control.
​
Last night, another interesting surprise occurred. My soul suddenly took over (I sort of became him) and started playing soul song messages. Songs that this person/mind didn't even know. I listened to the lyrics with surprise as they were all very clearly his voice of intense yearning and love for his beloved. And then he added "Don't Give Up On Me" by Illenium to our Spotify playlist for you. That one I do remember you playing years ago. I cried when I listened to it back then. I knew it was your soul's message to mine.
Thinking back, you the person might not have even intended that song for me--it could've been for Ethan. In fact, I still really have no idea whom any of the songs were for. Or maybe you were just listening to them and not intending them as messages for anyone. Or maybe you the person intended all of them for Ethan. But whatever the intentions of you the person, the way I experienced all those songs and the timing of me listening to them all and the way it triggered my soul, I think it was absolutely your soul having your person play those songs for me and my soul.
I remember questioning back then if you were even a real person or some sort of spirit guide that was guiding me. The accuracy and timing of each of those song messages was so insane. This was before I knew anything at all about spirituality, awakening, or soul connections. I remember tripping out so hard over this, as this the very beginning of all the supernatural stuff that I'd never experienced before. I didn't know soul connections were even a thing. It was like I would think or feel something, and then you'd play a message that would respond in a very specific way to what I was thinking/feeling. Song after song after song for hours each day. You kept responding to my thoughts and feelings with the perfect song. The timing again was bizarre. I remember testing this. For example, I'd log on (invisible so you couldn't even see I had just logged on), I'd see you were offline, no music listened to in the past 4 hours. Then I'd think something really quickly, and immediately after check your profile and see you playing a song that was responding to what I was thinking. I was so weirded out. "Holy shit! WTF is this??! WTF is going on??? Who is this person?? Is she even real?? Am I imagining this?? Have I lost my mind??" And then I started to think that if you were a real person, you were some kind of all-powerful psychic who was intentionally connecting with me on a psychic level, somehow reading my mind, and guiding me through the songs. Little did I know you were completely oblivious lmao XD
There were also times when I thought we were having song communications (mostly love songs) where I'd play a song and you'd respond. Again, I have no idea if this was actually happening with you the person or just between our souls, with your person completely oblivious and/or playing them for Ethan and me believing it to be for me. Because timing-wise, I think you had just started seeing him shortly after meeting me online. I'd like to think the love song communications were actually between us persons too, as it's really romantic. But even those song messages from you seemed to be perfect responses to my love song messages for you. I added some of those song messages to my Spotify playlists around that time, but many of them weren't added, as I was just searching them and playing them in the moment without adding them to playlists.
Your soul doesn't provide me with guidance like this anymore because I no longer need it. It was just needed to awaken my soul and have me remember who you are. Now, not only is my soul the awakened one and yours still asleep, but I also have direct connection to HS, which goes beyond even the soul level and beyond guides. Once in a while I do still get messages and even song messages from your soul, but they no longer need to come from you the person playing them for me (they may, but don't need to), since I have connection to higher levels of consciousness and higher dimensions of reality. Since my disappearance a year and a half ago, your soul's messages to me have been pretty heartbreaking, desperate, and disturbing.... The last song message from your soul was "1216" by Echos:
​

Welcome to the room I hide in I'd invite you in to stay, but I'm trying to get out of here The windows see my pain, they feel it The curtains know my name, they scream it, get out of here
I don't know why I can never leave When all that I'm left with are memories I guess I want your ghost as my company
This house is full of the things we did But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you
To the left and down the hallway Pictures hang from crooked nails Get out, get out I can't get out of here
The doors keep falling off, I feel them The rooms have twisted thoughts and I hear them Get out Get out of here
I don't know why I can never leave When all that I'm left with are memories I guess I want your ghost as my company
This house is full of the things we did But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you
And this house is full, of the things that we did And my bed has known, every inch of your skin Well I can't let go, of the way that we left Now my bath, it floods with your silhouette
This house is full of the things we did
But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you
And now I'm hanging on by a thread But you're still ringing in my empty head I can't let go of the way we left, I can't let go of you

Another recent song message from your soul was "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence. Each time I would receive one of these soul messages, I would ask HS, "How can we just leave her like this??? Isn't there something we can do to help??" But everytime the answer was "No. Keep away." It's been the hardest thing for me to accept.
Going back to "Don't Give Up On Me" by Illenium, I remember it shaking me so deep down to my soul when I listened to it. I wrote down somewhere that if I ever felt like giving up on our connection or running, to play that song as your soul's message to me. I don't think I ever did play it. But last night, my soul played this on repeat last night and even again today. This time, rather than your soul's message to me, it was definitely my soul's message to your soul. After my soul withdrew/receded, I was left with residuals of his intense sorrow, longing, and love for you. My god does he love you like crazy....
As usual, I have no idea what the plan is or what HS intends. But the fact that HS allowed Soul to take control and do all this seems to indicate HS is pushing for Union. I wonder if more and more control will be given to Soul as we connect, and he is going to take over. I guess I will just have to see how things go with you and between us. Whatever happens, I hope you are well, and I love you so much.

Timeline and description of the issue: April 30th, I went to the ER for severe upper right quadrant abdominal pain and flank pain. CT showed a 6mm obstructive kidney stone, and I was admitted for an emergency ureter stent placement immediately. In the ER, I was given dilaudid and toradol for pain, as well as zofran and levaquin. Then general anesthesia medication for stent placement. I was discharged with instructions to take oxycodone as needed for pain, along with OTC pain meds, Flomax, one for bladder spasms that turns your urine orange (starts with a P), and more zofran. Typical kidney stone pain management regimen. Scheduled a ureterscopic lithotripsy for first available, which ended up being May 16th. Continued taking the oxy through this period, 5mg instant release every 4-6hrs. The one day I missed taking a dose put me back in the ER for pain management. Doctor refilled for me multiple times leading up to surgery.
May 16th - surgery day came, we did a bilateral ureterscopic lithotripsy, removing the problem stone and multiple smaller stones from both of my kidneys, cleaning them completely. I got to go through the joy of stents on BOTH sides now. Doctor refilled my oxy, and sent me on my way with instruction to come back on the 25th for removal.
Now, not once through this entire process was it ever discussed that I should taper, but this was not my first stone experience and I went cold turkey off my opiates after my first month long surgery wait for an 8mm obstructive stone in 2017. Ended up in full withdrawal and it was awful.
So leading up to the stent removal on the 25th, I started increasing the interval I was taking the oxy at.
May 25th - stents come out, yay! I'm no longer in pain and feeling great. I took one pill at around 1pm on the 25th. Then again around 1am. Next one was 4pm on the 26th, then the final dose I took was around noon on the 27th.
It is now almost 5:30am on the 29th, and I have been experiencing what feels like withdrawal symptoms for the past few hours (muscle aches, sweats, restless, gi upset, etc).
My question is this: I still have a small handful of pills left. Should I take one now and just try to keep tapering slowly? Or am I better off just waiting our the withdrawal? Or do I need to be calling my doctor and have him actually give me a tapering plan? And if I'm better off waiting through the withdrawal, how long should I expect to feel crappy? I can only find resources about withdrawal for addicts and long term abuse, not short term like this.
Edit to add: I'm in the US and it's a holiday weekend, so I would have to call their after hours back line and have them page my doctor on his day off. And no pharmacy will be open until tomorrow.
Thank you in advance!

Shanghai recorded its hottest May day in 100 years on Monday, the city's meteorological service announced, shattering the previous high by a full degree.
Scientists say global warming is exacerbating adverse weather, with many countries experiencing deadly heatwaves and temperatures hitting records across Southeast and South Asia in recent weeks.
Shanghai residents sweltered under the early-afternoon sun, with some apps showing a "Feels like" temperature estimate of more than 40C. "I headed out at noon to pick up a delivery, and got a headache after coming back," read one post from Shanghai on Weibo.
The city of Tak in Thailand recorded its highest-ever temperature of 45.4C, while Sainyabuli province in Laos hit 42.9C, an all-time national temperature record, the study by the World Weather Attribution group said.
There is a two-thirds chance that at least one of the next five years will see global temperatures exceed the more ambitious target set out in the Paris accords on limiting climate change, the UN's World Meteorological Organization said.
The WMO said there was a 66 percent chance that annual global surface temperatures will exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the years from 2023-2027.

I had been hosting files on a PC I built using 2 8 TB drives mirrored using Storage spaces in Windows 10. I was given a 3rd 8 TB drive and decided to add it to the server and redo my Storage space to do Raid 5 to double the size of the storage pool while offering some redundancy.
I didn't have a single drive large enough to back up all my files to. I had 4 3 TB drives lying around but didn't have anything to put them into. I looked at empty NAS enclosures, but they were more than I wanted to spend. I found a dude on Craigslist selling an HP Z220 Workstation for $60 and bought it. It has 6 SATA ports on it, 2 SATA 3, 4 SATA 2 ports. I threw an old SSD on one of the SATA 3 ports and plugged the 4 3 TB drives on all of the SATA 2 ports. I used the onboard intel chipset raid controller to create a RAID 0 array with all 4 drives. Everything seemed to go fine, I created a single partition on the raid disk in Windows and mapped the drive with the 8 TB pool I wanted to back up, then copied everything over. Both PCs are plugged into a gigabit switch and the file transfer took about 16 hours.
After the copy finished, I added the new 8 TB drive and redid the Storage Spaces on my original file server and created a 16 TB storage space with parity. I started copying everything back but it took over a week. There were long pauses of a couple of seconds between files, and the speed wasn't hitting gigabit speeds.
I assume this may mean that one or more of the 3 TB disks in the RAID 0 array have problems, but the individual disks do not show up in device manager and I'm not sure how to do health checks on the individual disks as they seem to be hidden behind the raid controller in Windows 10.
Is there some software I can download from HP or some 3rd party tool that you would recommend that would help me get an idea of which disks might be bad or if there's something I have misconfigured?

I wanted to create an email server inside my vps and I saw cyberpanel that it can host a free email server for me everything works fine , except SnappyMail it always gives an AuthenticationFailed Error while i can login to the admin SnappyMail without any issues , dovecot and sql installed automatically via CyberPanel so i am sure its not a problem from the installation , please i need help this is the error message i am facing :
