Dell r710 with about 30tb of storage.

My god that's a lot of content.

I've only got "The Walking Dead" on mine at the moment while testing. But Plex is running better imo

Just uploaded some files to a Plex server and activated my android box to see if I get the same "choppy" playback like with Emby server and player.

Trying to find a way round the ctsprofile:false on my switch with lineageOS

I'm considering dropping some cash on a chair.

Yeah I did, well the wife bought me one for.my birthday

Been a while since I've tried Emby Media server.

Yeah try a few opensource/free ones but found that the easiest and quickest to go from setup, upload, and play back.

Looking through setting for Emby Media server.

Pressure washer?

Yeah looks like, paint stripper then pressure washer (I'll have to borrow one). Sand it down. Pressure wash. Let dry. Then repaint

Looking up the best way to clean off old paint from a decking before we find a nice colour to repaint with.

Just had a BBQ

What size?
I bought myself (well work did) for home working a cheap V7 24" monitor that has VGA, DVI, HDMI and DP on.
So there's plenty of choice out there as suitable replacements.

Just sit down and look at say Ebuyer just so you can use the filters and see what's about

What did you do to that poor machine???

Don't know if you have access to it but the best way to get remove dust is to blow it out with compressed air, preferably from an air compressor. Otherwise it's very difficult to get the dust that is inside things like power supplies.

Yeah it's not in the best of places for dust (in the same room as a tumble dryer)
Got most of it off with hoover, but next time will be buying some compressed air cans, or try and remember our portable one.

Home lab cleanup. Going to see if I can get the front off to clean the vents, but looks like I need to pull everything out.

Also going to consider installing a new hypervisor, KVM, XCP-NG, etc etc

@bnrstnr said in Extending range for WIFI video cameras:

Have you thought about powerline adapters? I've strongly considered them before, but never actually went through with the purchase. I'm skeptical, but they seem to get decent enough reviews

I've used powerline adaptor successfully, good option if your power sockets are on the same fuse box/board.

I've home based since Monday and for the next 4 weeks I think.
The rest of the team as of today will be home based.

Most other departments are running half team in half home then swapping each week.

Stores are only doing phone/email orders when pickup from the doors
