Hmpf. I guess I will talk to our DC guys. They use some tool, I don't know which one, but I was told it is some special tool for rack and cable documentation.

I bet there is some open source tool that does the same job.

I'd love to find a good tool for this myself.

I will post the name and whatever I may find in the open source / low budget area. All you need to feed Google is often just a name.

This is exactly what I thought when I saw that trophy

@thwr said in DIY: Cheap environmental probe:

Not exactly - it's for all the DIY stuff im doing anyway. Bought it with a friend.

A few friends and I were talking about doing this.

I can highly recommend the Anycubic I3 Mega. I do have access to quite a few printers, incl. Ultimaker 2/3 Extended, BigReps and others. The Anycubic is outstanding given the price and at least compareable to the Ultimaker IMHO. Great results, good build quality, no open wires like other cheap printers.

Ordered from a Chinese restaurant: Duck with peanut-coconut sauce and some Szechuan pork. Not great, but good.

Our DC sent a warning about this. And they said it's not just VMs, could also happen to bare metal.

Looks like an drive upgrade is possible.

@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@stacksofplates I use a classic safety razor (not something 50 years old or anything) just classic in style.

It works great, replacement blades in very easily affordable and the shave is perfect.

Razor? Don't you like the homeless-style?

PS: Don't want to offend any homeless people here

... and the last drive that has been built for this lib was LTO-7. So I'll probably better get a new lib with LTO-8 support.

Why we need Google...

Or any serious competition at all. I can choose between a dozen companies, some got their own lines, some will rent lines.

@penguinwrangler said in LTO tape library upgrade:

We are looking at going with LTO-8. The capacity and speed and the ability that it is offline and can be offsite extremely easy were all winners in our books. Offline meaning once the tape is in storage it is not on a network and can get hit by ransomware.

It's just a requirement for us. But yes, your points are valid. 12TB uncompressed per tape isn't that bad. I was looking for an upgrade because 1.5TB for LTO-5 isn't exactly what fits todays capacities.

Pizza, Mango Mojito's or Chili Mango Candy....

That's what I would call "living corporate identity"

Just had a look at the datasheet: https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/UniFi_Video_G3_DS.pdf

It's just the dome version that features a wide angle lens. I think we'll get one and try it.

@scottalanmiller said in Potty Plotter:

You need a potty marking system, too. Like is it a squat or sitting toilet. SO important outside of the US.

And don't forget the merchandising stuff. Get a license for Southpark's Mr. Hankey.

@dustinb3403 said in IP security Camera Question.:

@thwr digital zoom is what you likely would be using on anything in this price range anyways.

Sure, but a proper lens would just be better.

OK, it gets even better. Just had a look at the price tag: https://shop.omg.de/ubiquiti-networks/unifi/unifi-video/ - will order one on monday

do they work "standalone" for testing purposes? E.g. could you view a live stream or something like that without a DVR?

@scottalanmiller said in Potty Plotter:

There should be a game element added. Like how many places can you "go" around the world, or in all 50 states.

Oh the places you'll go, the game.

Just thought about how the requirements engineering would look like. Or a UML/SysML statechart / activity diagram

@wirestyle22 said in IP security Camera Question.:

My entire home network design is front to back ubiquiti. security cameras, switches, AP's and firewall.

My entire LAN/WIFI at work will be UBNT soon

Serious fighting with the new dishwasher. Water dripped out of the connection (on the "input" side). Turned out it was caused by a bad "rubber seal" (hope you'll get it) inside the AquaStop valve.

@iroal said in Any good free server monitoring services?:

I like Prtg, It's free for the first 100 sensors.

That's not much when you take a look at their definition of a sensor: Free space, RAM usage, every single value is a sensor. And it's restricted to 10 hosts, too.

I'm currently evaluating the following list for our own needs:

• Bloonix
• OpenNMS
• Zabbrix
• NeDi
• Observium
• Zenoss Core

Maybe there's something in this list that might help you for your project

@RojoLoco said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:

I've got some black beans and rice I made for lunch today... lots of bacon and cumin and garlic in the beans, some of the best I've made in a while. Might post the recipe later.

Sounds good, please do.
