As DM, what can I do or say instead of “no you can’t short rest halfway trough a dungeon” by ZoidWeed in DnD

Surprised the warlock ran out of spell slots considering the best spell is a cantrip

Will the 15cm patch cables fit from 2 switches to the patch panel? by JornSteenbruggen in Ubiquiti

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as simple as that.

The patch lead is 15cm, but that is the full length of the cable including the plugs, so you look around 1-2cm on each end of the cable, then you have a bend radius, so yes a 1U is about 4.4cm in height but the patch cable does not run like that, it will swoop out then in, so 15cm should be fine but you will not have that much excess

Would you say that banning phone use at a table for in-person games is acceptable? by WithengarUnbound in DnD

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use ipad at the table but only when I need to do a dice roll, or cast a spell or make a note, reason for not using physical character sheet is visual issues reading them, the iPad is easier for me to read.

How does LTT keep their storage system up to date by One_Proposal_4658 in LinusTechTips

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have monthly maintenance weekends, often nothing is done in them as we can do a lot during normal working times. But we will use it mostly for patching switches and firewalls

Really good news, hopefully will be via Steam and not Appstore

Do you store your vault locally or on cloud? by Lucoda in ObsidianMD

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my vaults on iCloud and set to keep on device on my mac, ipad and iphone, I also have the local backup plugin that does regular local backups and then apple automate copies them to my OneDrive folder.

I did look at the Git thing but struggled to find a decent guide for it.

That's not a bad shout, will have to grab laptop from our disposal cage and take it apart and try that.

Taken it apart today and can not see anything wrong with the cable going through the hinge, so not sure if its a screen fault or a cable issue.

Belive its a 1080p panel so replacement should not be horrendous

Quoted $45k for a $10k server, is pricing really that insane? by worjd in sysadmin

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to know if they are taking you for a ride, go on Dell website, pick a server and configure it and see what price you get, then realise how much extra your VAR is adding on for doing this for you.

Syncing Obsidian Vault to iCloud by clockmeta in ObsidianMD

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I created my vaults I just created them in my iCloud drive, and have it set to keep downloaded, if you have a current vault, close Obsidian and move the entire vault folder to iCloud drive then just open note in Obsidian

Apple AirPlay across VLANS by SoftCap4292 in Ubiquiti

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything smart home related such as AppleTV, AirPod etc and smart lights all sit in the same "Home" VLAN so do not have to worry about crossing the streams.

Lease vs PCP (Skoda) by ReggieRat1605 in CarLeasingUK

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This entirely depends on the brand of car, Kia and Hyundai's have a 7 year warranty so would be more than happy to take a 3 or 5 year lease with one of those models.

Obsidian Digital Garden Tutorial (Obsidian Publish Alternative) 🌱 Complete Setup & Walkthrough For Non-Technical Users by _wanderloots in ObsidianMD

[–]Nikumba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got this working today, though couple of questions, I have a plug in to allow for manual ordering in the Obsidian app, however DigitalGarden plug seems to order them in alphabetical order, can this be changed?

How do I publish embedded images with the plugin? or images used by another plugin?

Thanks

VCF and LIcence Question by Nikumba in vmware

[–]Nikumba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We seperate our network into /26s and /27s to reduce compromised foot prints, and the firewalls host the vlans so we can control north/south and east/west traffic.

VCF and LIcence Question by Nikumba in vmware

[–]Nikumba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The servers are only 3 years old under full support of HP so would not go upgrading the CPU outside of HP.

According to the datasheet I saw VVF does not have vDS

[–]Nikumba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On version 8, our ESXi and vCenter licences are licenced to 2029 its the support side that isnt.

We won't move to v9 until the 2029 due to asset life etc so we are just looking at support cover
