Are you not worried the shed will have lots of holes?

I am running Plex on the NAS, the 220+ is perfect for it, more than capable of direct delivery and transcoding of 4k. I moved from the PC a while ago and it was my main reason for upgrading my NAS, to deliver a good Plex experience with the Intel Celeron which the NAS has.
I did upgrade the RAM from 2gb to 6GB, only cost 18 pounds so why not, but I don't think it was necessary.
My DS218j is definitely not the quickest thing going
Primarily being used for Surveillance Centre and it's not struggling so it can stay put for now! Price is good though on the 220.
That's really nice.
Would you mind me asking a ballpark of how much that was? It looks like it'll last.

It was £1065 for materials, delivery and labour. My wife's uncle did it so I think we got his 10% trade discount for the materials.
I was very impressed with the quality of the panels, especially as I know they were only £35 each from the merchant, built to order. Compared to the ready made panels of the same price at Wickes and B&Q (pretty much same as what were there before) these are extremely heavy duty.

I'd also be wary of the glass/plastic window in the shed - just asking to be shattered by a wayward pellet!It now looks more like Swiss cheese than a shed, despite the pellet catcher behind the target
If it's a full power rifle get a heftier pellet trap or you'll eventually blow the back out, I learned that the hard way.It now looks more like Swiss cheese than a shed, despite the pellet catcher behind the target
Also if you can set up a safe spot I can recommend chalk targets for a bit of fun.

Both ways, LHR-DXB. First flight since Feb 2020!
Row 1 always reserved for golds.

@CapitalOne - we just flew to<->from Girona (first flight in 5 years!). Looking to carbon offset, do you have any suggestions?
It is nice to be able to travel a bit after so long!

Glad you enjoyed it!
I cheat - company has a carbon offsetting scheme as a benefit so it's also a minor tax dodge
plus I've saved the environment about 20 flights in the last 2.5 years so I am reconcilled.We cannot wait...I know it's not the most imaginative place but when we planned it we wanted to be as covid savvy as possible so DXB has good healthcare, had low rates and lots of flights if there was a problem. I guess I didn't bank on the spending the time with lots of Russians part

Some cutting things, was a bargain compared to the UK set.
I may be ignorant here, but have modern cars not yet got sufficient security to prevent them being nicked?
I understand putting one of these on an old car that's trivial to bypass the ignition.....but on something new (ish)
It's even easier these days. You just need an app and a mate with a tablet to wave near your front door until it finds your key inside the house. 15 seconds and they're off.
Only if the car has comfort access. It’s a bit trickier without and if the car is locked.
Faraday boxes are a great tool.
Indeed. My keys are in a Faraday box at home and pouch when I'm away.
