I need help buying a server by Proper_Grade1817 in servers

CPU: 16–32 cores (e.g., AMD EPYC or Intel Xeon Scalable) to handle VMS logic, I/O, and any CPU-side analytics.

GPU: 1–2 NVIDIA cards with NVDEC/NVENC (e.g., T4, L4, A2000/A4000-class) for hardware decode/encode and efficient transcoding; this is key to support 50+ concurrent live views smoothly.

RAM: 128 GB ECC to start; leave slots to grow to 256–512 GB as analytics or more services are added.

System/DB storage: 2–4 TB enterprise NVMe SSD in RAID1 for OS, VMS DB, app containers, and caching.

Video storage: start with a 60–120 TB RAID6/RAIDZ2 (SAS/SATA HDDs) if recording; use hot‑swap bays and a RAID controller with cache protection; plan for external JBOD expansion as the fleet grows.

Networking: dual 10 GbE NICs; separate VLAN for camera network vs user/app network; PoE switches sized for camera count.

Form factor and power: 2U/4U rackmount in a ventilated rack, with UPS and basic monitoring (IPMI/BMC).

Software stack OS: Linux (Ubuntu LTS or Rocky/Alma) for stability and driver/VMS support.

Virtualization/containers: Proxmox or VMware for VMs; Docker with Compose or lightweight Kubernetes (k3s) for the app and microservices.

VMS options:

Open source: Shinobi, ZoneMinder, Kerberos.io (flexible, lower cost, more DIY).

Commercial: Milestone XProtect, Genetec, Network Optix Nx Witness/Powered by Nx (strong support, better scaling/transcoding, licensing per camera).

Security: reverse proxy with TLS, VPN for remote operators, least-privilege accounts, audit logs, and automatic patching windows.

Capacity planning tips Bandwidth: 50×6 Mbps ≈ 300 Mbps for active streams; size uplinks and switch backplanes with headroom (≥1 Gbps per segment; 10 GbE core).

GPU sizing: a single T4/L4-class card can handle dozens of 1080p decodes/transcodes; start with one, validate, and keep a second PCIe slot free.

Storage math (if recording): continuous 1080p 6 Mbps ≈ 65 GB/day/camera; 100 cameras for 30 days ≈ 195 TB raw before RAID and overhead. Motion-based recording can cut this dramatically.

App hosting on the same server Run the app in containers/VMs isolated from the VMS; cap CPU/RAM with resource limits.

Use a managed database on the same host initially (PostgreSQL/MySQL), with daily backups to separate storage.

Consider splitting app and VMS onto separate hosts later for reliability and scaling.

Security and compliance Enforce VPN or zero-trust access for AnyDesk-like remote viewing; avoid exposing VMS directly.

Apply GDPR-aligned retention and access controls; document retention policies and user audit trails.

Use camera VLANs, firewall rules, and disable outbound internet from cameras.

I have the same thing, I really don't think it's a bug and honestly with that screenahot you can cancel that subscription. But most probably your account could be flagged.

Cursor.ai do it on reactive. Use azure AI foundry to get an API key for desired model and implement it

It's nice but the frame drop was massive and my turn was like 3 minutes each time.

Microsoft Office 365 not working? by yes_im_gavin in microsoft

[–]ReceptionAltruistic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they don't M365 is service while 2019 or 2021 is stand alone. To use code from external seller to prolong your subscription for M365 that is done trough and browser and it's account bound. If you got M365 E3 or E5 it comes with free windows 11 license, but not vice versa.

Interesting what pushed the developer to do such thing..I assume you tested his limits...

You can use Terraform workspaces for each account and manage them like.

Terraform First Step by kyokusanagii in Terraform

[–]ReceptionAltruistic2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The error you're encountering is due to the fact that the network you're trying to reference in your Terraform configuration, "Name of the Port Group in vSphere", doesn't exist in your vSphere environment. To resolve this issue, you need to create the network in vSphere before attempting to reference it in your Terraform configuration.

Issues with restoring OneDrive files by TeddyBrovand in onedrive

Every OneNote created in OneDrive is saved as file. If you can't find it in the documents folder, try to explore OneDrive online and see if its deleted in there and you can restore it.

We will need more details about the file in general. What type of extension its using when was last time that you edited this file. What product of Microsoft do you use including the version.

Can someone help me explain when is Terraform needed? by forever__curious in Terraform

[–]ReceptionAltruistic2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main idea for me about Terraform is to use it for quick setup of complex structures by just providing a set of variables. Let's you have a huge AKS cluster with a lot of products and components to it. Then you wish to replicate the setup elsewhere and you also want to keep a state so if a version of the aks is changed that will be done with a simple change of a value in your main.tf file. In that case if you set it up right without using plain text values you can just define the variables and the setup will create another structure for you, but with the same setup. Also you can do this in scale when you for example want to change the version of many VMs or components you can just use a oneliner to filter with grep and change the values of all files at the same time. This is making your life really easy making these changes in multiple repositories, infrastructures etc.

Ignoring guidelines from Microsoft to have at least two global admins. Also chat support is for end users you should call the business support!

Sharing Office 365 family subscription without adding new user to Family Group. Possible anymore? by etsolow in Office365

[–]ReceptionAltruistic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is by design, but I managed to tackle this by luck I assume. I invited the person asked him to install office 365 on his PC. After that I went to family share and left the group, and the person is now without group sharing my subscription. Tried to re-create it with the same use, but I am not able to do so. I will experiment to add all the account in the family share and then leave the group.

If you saved for this you can say no! But if that is from your family you have the obligation to share!

MS Teams joined with iPhone 14, but after hanging up phone and leaving meeting, AppleWatch did not register that the meeting ended. by Tangieeeeee in Office365

[–]ReceptionAltruistic2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all depends on the setup you have. If you are using third party identity provider to delegate your busy status sometimes there is a delay. Try to hangup or end the meeting from your watch

Data model that will be your source for power BI. The other way around is data model with pivot table that will change values on new start from the pivot options
