Oh wow that’s creative!
Oh wow that’s creative!
I did feel a little like Richmond sat in the dark watching these flashing lights!
Just a crappy webcam plugged into one of my servers running simple rstp server to send the stream to vlc. Quality isn’t fantastic as you can see but I enjoy it
After my first job as a printer technician I can believe some of the horrors to expect. Training on a nice shiny new printer vs one that had been installed upside down, backwards and whilst drunk…20 years ago haha
Ideally yes… This is a previous owners mistake I’m fixing. My options here are: reattach back using another drywall anchor (not my preferred option). Anchor one side into a stud and if the other side reaches it the other side into another stud and patch the holes or glue it back in place (again not ideal). I’m leaning towards option B here.
Ah it’s on three bits of wood screwed into the wall. Can still unscrew it and flip it over though so I may do that.
Thanks! I’ll check it out
I’m going to shore it up
Oh no the left picture is the before… Its gone downhill in terms of the mess
That reminds me I need to take a look at the flusher on my toilet. It’s being intermittent
Reattaching my towel rack to my wall. It was held in with drywall anchors but those have failed so will either repatch and reattach or glue it back on. Depends on how done with it I am
Good luck on retraining!
Honestly, throw a couple services running on ubuntu servers on the proxmox machine. It’s not the same as book learning, but it does help a lot with the basics and patchy knowledge I found. Not saying I’m an expert or anything, but I do know a lot more about managing Linux servers now than I did 5 years ago from running 15 of them on Proxmox
This is actually my second foray into IT work. I went to college for software development, failed that, went to work as a printer technician, left that, went into retail and now I am here. Thanks!
Those are the best places to find hardware to be fair. That and ebay/Facebook around the end of the financial year
Hey that’s my old CPU which I just retired from my old pc. If it wasn’t somewhat set aside for a pc for my SO it would be my new video encoder. The two servers I do have running do have some issues. The proxmox machine has a dead RAM slot and several dead fans or dead fan connectors. (Enough run to keep it cool at least). The Truenas box keeps showing an error with the second PSU and the vga out does not work (Either on front or back). Both work well enough for me.
Prism is my go to …it’s allright but I am still looking for new options. Have heard good things about Immich so might look at that
Nice! That is a decent setup, what are you using it for?
Ah it’s all good it’s holding on with the power of sheer will… Plus it was flexing that bad before the hardware got put on it and barely moved after… I hope…haha
I didn’t take it as one don’t worry Nah not at the moment just got it on my pc screen right now
