Nothing yet, but I'm adding devices slowly. So far my wife and I's main computers, the Amazon Fire, both Sonos, 3 Echos, 1 Nest, and the WiFi (new SSID/password) with just 2 cell phones. Base level of traffic is 15kbps up and 22kbps down. Entirely reasonable.

Tore the whole network down, replaced MicroTIK with EdgeRouter running full deep packet inspection and adding one device to the network at a time.

You're implying that the point of living together is to watch the same video content?

I'm interested in Storage Space Direct, but haven't played with it at all.

Yup, I don't understand it either. Really don't want to call Comcast to deal with it. Grr.

Just home stuff. Mostly video streaming. Since everything is HD (much 4k), it doesn't go as far as it used to. And there are three of us that watch separate things simultaneously.

This is the first month my ISP has enabled a data cap. I've exceeded my 1TB allocation on day 8 of the billing cycle and already accrued another $30 of overage charges by day 11. For another $50/mo I can go unlimited. Seem prudent.

Howell might have it, other things to check would be any static routes on the workstation. If you can change the local IP/subnet on your router (and DHCP), I'd give that a go.

Thanks DB, that would do what I need if I could get the licencing sorted out. The software is installed on my computer, but it tells me that my station is not authorized. We'll see how much they want for it when my vendor calls me back.

I spend most of my working hours listening to music on headphones connected to my computer. I also have a good mic connected to my computer. I currently have an ESI 60 ABP IP desk phone connected to a Plantronics CS540/HL10 headset. The interface is pretty simple; an arm lifts the handset when...

A buddy is having his hip replaced this week. Scheduled to spend 4-6 weeks horizontal?

My guess would be run interference between Coug's more abrasive personality and the C-Suite. That might be a full-time position.

For larger installations the spider is great. But I still support small companies with 1 or 2 headless servers in a closet. At the moment they have crappy old LCDs on them that hardly ever work and ball mice that never work.

Ever want to use a laptop to control a desktop via KVM emulation? I've wanted something like this for a long time.... https://www.epiphan.com/products/kvm2usb/

I use TunnelBear. Probably not the best at anything, but does the job and cheap enough that I haven't bothered shopping around.

The original looked like a coffin. Version 3 not so much. Yup, still in the living room. I have a place in the garage for it, but cable length restrictions are preventing that. Now that the computers are near silent, heat-neutral, and one-sided, I'm considering a new desk design that...

http://imgur.com/a/PkZ5l Any reason the file attachment size has gotten so small?

This is a public test, they are losing huge amounts on each car and the fuel.

Wife and kid are off to the Aquarium and museums for the day. I am back in my office keeping an eye on things and making sure the generator is behaving itself. I was just out at the country club, they seem to have lost about 10% of their trees (50? can't get out to most of it). Once the wind...

This one isn't wired or fired up yet, but the first one ("Home1" in my sig) never goes more than 2C above ambient, even with the most absurd synthetic benchmarks going. I did put two additional 80mm fans inside running at fairly high speed; they are not audible from outside the chassis.

Yup, and it is a cool car, too. Just no fuel around me here...

Machine #2

Winds were gusting to 72MPH (115km/h) earlier today, we've taken about 8" (20cm) of rain, flooding and trees down everywhere. House has been without power for 12 hours already. I don't want to go home from the office (yay generators and T-1 SLAs), but can't leave the wife and kid alone in a dark...

It is faster to throw some drives in a NAS and share them. It is also faster to enable features that the NAS supports. Of course, once you exceed the capabilities of a NAS, you are SOL. A PC-based solution can scale significantly. https://youtu.be/uykMPICGeqw

Probably fine. Haven't gone to see anyone yet. Wife is figuring something out. Didn't mean to raise an alarm or anything, just a random comment in the random thread.

Grr. Time to go get a doctor. Wife said something something lymph node draining something something. Not feeling awesome.

My father-in-law is ex-politburo, and even he warns not to trust anyone who is friends with Putin.

When do you think digital viewfinders will satisfactorily (not ideally, just "enough") replace mirrored systems? I suspect we are close, and that would reduce the cost (R&D, Mfgr, service) considerably.

So the question is, is the market big enough to support even one major DSLR player (Canon), or will the choice be Mirrorless/Hasselblad?

This dam was built in the 60s. The tail of infrastructure is very long.

Yup. Dropping rocks into the spillway just sounds like putting more bullets in the gun to me.

I just use the nVidia screen cap utility and then crop in post.

MKBHD just turned me on to these guys, and I'm really digging it. https://youtu.be/jRHQPG1xd9o

We've received 6" of rain in the last 30 hours, and were already at flood levels before that. Should start getting interesting. Damaged Dam with water rising 2 feet an hour.

Doubt it. The only time I've had to was for government work.

Customers are realizing how ineffective polys actually are and the vendors are trying to outrun the efficacy results with "new methods".

Once SF can drink we really need to put together an IRL party...

We missed the 15th birthday of SF, but yay!

Nope. Not stable @ 5.1Ghz. Back to 5.0 at stock voltage. That'll do.

Some of our industrial sites are inland, and freeze as much as a dozen nights a year. To be safe I'll put the coil about 2' underground ;)

No delid. Just dropped it in, hit it the "5Ghz" preset on the motherboard, and then bumped the voltage and clock a notch. No idea if it is stable yet, but I may have totally lucked out. This motherboard has a vertical M.2 slot extending out near the edge, and I've just stuck the drive in there...

Sorry, that from my phone and went to sleep. Didn't preview. Fixed.

It's alive!

I have a corp sales rep, so I wasn't aware that they are out of stock on the website. Sorry about that.

Indeed. A pressure regulator could be handy. My favorite was someone who ran the coolant into a heat exchanger with their swimming pool.

When I lived in Denver my regular bar had breathalyzers at the bar and with the bouncer on the way to the parking lot. Made for interesting...research.

If I didn't want feedback, I wouldn't have posted it ;) I've been running 100% Koolance 702 UV-Blue in my system, and will probably continue to do so. Good to -5C and anti-corrosion/biological. UV is good for detecting leaks. As far as the rest of the cooling system is concerned, I've left a...

If I want high certainty for an OEM battery I order directly from Verizon. Though to be honest I don't think the quality of the "OEM" batteries is that much better than the crap generics...

Thanks! The water loop at home has been in 24/7 operation without fluid change (or even adding fluid) for nearly 4 years. The pump is a little noisier than when it was new, but no issues at all. We'll see once I stick a similar system in an industrial environment how well it holds up.

While my Russian relatives were here, we were averaging 4-6 drinks per person per day. I stopped completely for a week after that. Just starting back up now.
