    Password managers! (Fed up of lastpass!)

    Like many others here I switched from Lastpass to Bitwarden a few years back. Premium is very fairly priced for sharing and yubikey support. I know it's "free" with Vaultwarden (used it to demo the enterprise features at work) but I think it's worth giving the Devs something to maintain the...

    Reboot during gaming.

    I've recently had a similar experience. Games would hard reset on the main menu most the time but occasionally run, once a fortnight I'd get a hard reset in a work call, furmark and prime would pass no problems, all drivers and BIOS reset and updated, took the system to pieces (including...

    What’s the longest non-stop flight you’ve taken - distance or time?

    Once did Heathrow to Hong Kong on jump seats on a Virgin A340. I say jump seats because for take off I was sat in the rear galley with all the catering carts. For landing I was next to the first class emergency exit. All these primadonnas with their business class seats :rolleyes::D

    How old is too old?

    So they do. I think it's because I was filtering by ATX3.0 expecting them to be the highest quality. I therefore missed all the "straight" RMx models :rolleyes:

    How old is too old?

    My AX860 is over a decade old now and has started coil whining when the PC is asleep. It's not a problem since when the machine is on I can't hear it over the fans and when it's sleeping no one is in the room but thinking it might be the beginning of the end. Had a look at some replacements and...

    PSP - Reviving my old one (PSP-1000) dead/battery

    @adamg64 Did you get yours sorted? I've just ordered a new battery for my wife's PSP 1000. Hoping I can revive it. Potential for some serious brownie points :D Been looking at the IPS screen replacements. The internet thinks it's worth it for the 1000. Anyone here done the upgrade?

    Commodore Amiga owners thread!

    Similar thing happened to me. I had an Amiga 500 and 1200 but the 500 is gone :( I was probably asked "Which of these is better?" then the poor old A500 went off to the car boot

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    I assumed, incorrectly, that all the fittings would be the same size so got 2 x 1/2 inch caps. Turns out I needed 1/2 and 3/4...what a noob! Get a handful of caps in different sizes, you'll probably end up using them all :cry:

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Yeah, heating system was still working so drained and refilled. Watched a few of the "pro" diyers on YouTube and got some advice from my Uncle who's pretty handy. Felt more comfortable doing a baby rad first, knowing I could lift it with one hand versus a monster type 22 should anything go wrong...

    New York Trip

    Another vote for High Line and Intrepid. Regarding food, once you've got an idea of the areas you're going to visit, take some time to find a range of restaurants in those places and star them on Google Maps. You don't want to miss out on sightseeing because you were stood in a queue for...

    What "man jobs" have you done today?

    Refitted a 400x400mm radiator in the downstair loo. First time I've removed and refittted a rad :)

    Hardware specs for a new unRAID server??

    ECC was a requirement for FreeNAS/TrueNAS. I think it's been downgraded to recommended. Unraid has never had ECC as a requirement/recommended. Ironically as the support for ZFS in Unraid matures, ECC might become recommended and eventually a requirement ;) With these two "philosophies" you end...

    Unraid on Proxmox, or VMs on Unraid

    Have you made a decision yet? If you're comfortable with Proxmox I'd stick with it and run Unraid as a VM. After years (close to a decade) running Unraid on bare metal I decided to virtualise on Proxmox. I run pfSense on a separate machine so the plan is to move that box to a Proxmox VM. The...

    Snow chains or Socks for Tyres

    Sponsored video but think the difference between summer and winter tyres is fair.

    Home Assistant beginners

    @dlockers Had a play with go2rtc/web2rtc last night. The load times and lag with the generic camera always annoyed me. This is much much better. Thanks for the heads up

    Run Ethernet to upstairs home office

    Your phone could be using MIMO (multiple input multiple output). Phones tend to have the latest and greatest radio standards and antennas because having crap WiFi is a sales disaster

    Run Ethernet to upstairs home office

    Have you tried to terminate it yet? :D Similar situation to you, had a couple of external CAT5 runs in the old house, when we moved had CAT6a run under the floors for future proofing. I'd never actually terminated 6a before starting the 20 cables. Because everything is thicker, the tolerances...

    Run Ethernet to upstairs home office

    Most APs are POE (power over ethernet). The power is provided along the same cable as the data so no extra socket. However, you need a POE injector or POE capable switch (if you're doing multiple devices), so some additional cost but nowhere near getting a mains socket in the loft. I use both...

    Today is the 20th anniversary of the Big Nuke - OcUK are giving away a Ducky One 3 keyboard

    02-02-2020 Like a Duck on a pond, this one reflects perfectly I do vaguely remember the nuke and having to sign-up again. Being so keen to learn I re-registered as soon as I could (obviously wasn't smashing my F5 key hard enough, missed that legendary 17th October badge!) The forums were a...

    *** Official Hyperoptic Discussion Thread ***

    My experience is several years (and two moves) old now but shares many similarities. I had a year of BT before Hyperoptic was available. Don't remember the exact timeframes but that wait from the announcement that it had all been agreed with building management to actually ordering seemed like...
