Raspberry Pi zero

It's running my Pi-hole to free up the RPi3.

Interesting, are you running USB ethernet for Pi Zero?

Or would I do something like set router DNS to Pi Zero over a wireless dongle so I don't have to manually set each device dns?

Is this a slimmed down OS or could I just get an RPi 3 running raspbian as a tvheadend server as well?

So many questions!

A box of goodness:

 

[Akagi]

We all know you'd buy 3 £2000 cars

The MX5 would be fully built and supercharged, and the Skoda would be a big turbo TDI sleeper

I'd then try and buy my Polo back and do what I said I'd do to it if I had unlimited money, in that thread years ago. Involving a 3.2 VR6 swap and so on. Like Pimpowski's one.

Then would follow the various other cars...

And for once I would just do it all and ignore the naysayers...

Not with £6000

Shame one of them is your bank manager.

I misread the thread slightly, thought we were still talking about the lottery win...

To be honest if I could afford to throw 6k on a PC and not give a crap, I probably would. Not sure why, but why not?

Nooo. He can't spend that much. It'll be 6 £1000 cars!

Where does he park them all? Insurance? There's enthusiasm, and there's CRAY-CRAY.

Get a small lock-up. Make sure all cars are pre 1976 so there's no tax to pay. Stick them all on admiral or classic car multi-car insurance. DONE!

We did pay over £6000 for a HP workstation easily done once you get past 28 cores.

So I picked up an Ikea Signum to put under my desk to help a bit with cable management.

And behind my desk I picked up a Phillips Lightstrip+

My next move will probably be to mount a power strip right hand side of desk, near the top but underneath, should be able to make it a bit "cleaner" on the right side where I have basically dumped all of the cables behind the PC

It was a cheap desk so I don't mind about drilling into it tbh! I made some holes at the back to feed cables in as well.

If I was you I'd drill a hole out of the rear near where the cables come down, and then another behind the PC then run the cables behind the desk and mount the power strip behind the desk too.

That way you'd only have cables visible for a couple of inches coming down from above before they go back.

Twinkies are amazing, can't beat the old tunnocks death foods

 

[Captain]

Twinkies are rank.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Twinkies are rank.

Agreed. I find them utterly disgusting.

 

[Akagi]

I could eat that box of tea cakes in one sitting.

Not if I get to them first!

I've never tried a twinkie... Are they whipped cream filled sponge fingers?

 

[Captain]

Agreed. I find them utterly disgusting.

Me too, so bland and stodgy tasting.

 

[khemist]

A few more fittings, rotary 30's and 60's to tidy up the runs on my rigid tubing build.

 

[silversurfer]

I think the whole twinkies company went broke in recent years. reorganised to unsurp unions or some problem with costs, they may not be the originals bit like the Cadbury thing. They very nearly went extinct there
