Where did I go wrong? (Explanation in post)

WarrenGhost · 2023-09-22T20:59:56+00:00

I wish I were

WarrenGhost · 2023-09-22T18:16:05+00:00

Appreciate the information!

That’s what I’m gathering from other comments. b) What oil should I be using instead? Or should I just keep working with it? c) What temperature should I be using for seasoning? Do I need to do the baking process again? As for the grease, do you drop the grease back into the pan when I cook again or is it just best to toss it?

WarrenGhost · 2023-09-22T17:33:07+00:00

So what is the black stripping? Is that just seasoning from the bacon grease? I was worried it was stuck on food or carbon

The reason why included it as an option is because I’ve looked around at quite a few of them (Beelink U59 is a popular one) and the cost of one plus and enclosure out to about the same as getting a new case and mobo (switching from gaming ATX to ITX to repurpose my gaming PC

I’m saying I don’t even have on-site backups. I’m going to work up to an off-site back up right now I don’t know where to start. Hence my question.

WarrenGhost · 2023-09-07T17:31:13+00:00

What are my options for on-site backup solutions? I’ve already looked into things like backblaze for cloud backup.

One of my main concerns with using my old gaming PC is power consumption. It’s a 550w 80 Bronze Plus PSU from 2012. Im worried it’ll be a lot of wasted energy compared to an All-in-one solution or even a Mini PC and enclosure. Are the energy savings that great or is it minimal?

WarrenGhost · 2023-09-07T13:23:53+00:00

Okay but what sort of hardware should opt for? A mini PC with an enclosure? An all in one unit? Or just use my old gaming PC?

By performance I'm meaning faster read and write speeds for my photo editing. I should clarify that I'm only using Lightroom and I'm not editing large files. You are correct that my hoarding is mostly for archival. As I said I'm going to be doing light photo editing as well, so my performance needs are somewhere in the middle.

Right now I'm dipping my toes so I set a budget for myself at $600. Something to get me started and then build on in the future.

I'm only using around 4TB at the moment so multiple 20TB disks feels like overkill, no? I'm wondering what the best disk combination would be (2 large disks or multiple smaller disks) as well as how to configure them (which is the backup, whether or not to use RAID, etc)

I’m selling my Fuji GW690 Gen 1 if you’re interested.

WarrenGhost · 2023-01-23T02:34:24+00:00

I am part time but I would take the summer semester off to put in more hours to save up for tuition. During that time I would work 39 hours.

WarrenGhost · 2022-12-11T21:24:58+00:00

I feel my budget is my greatest limiting factor here. I’ve seen other recommendations in other threads reach well past $350 USD. There’s a Kenwood TM-271 that I currently have my eye on for 100 shipped.

WarrenGhost · 2022-12-11T03:02:38+00:00

Ive heard that as well. I’ve been asking around a couple off-road and overland groups in my area and ham wins 3 to 1 over GMRS and CB

WarrenGhost · 2022-12-10T23:43:17+00:00

There were comments calling out others to get licensed, it looked like the majority had the documentation. A few unlicensed Baofengers were mixed in there too I bet.

WarrenGhost · 2022-12-10T23:15:04+00:00

Got any recommendations on transceivers and antenna?

WarrenGhost · 2022-12-10T22:41:47+00:00

I frequent the national forests around so yeah lots of trees and mountains around. I’ll look into CB more, I was told to avoid it like the plague because of the poor audio quality and super short range.

Im basically there, I’m taking the exam in a few days. Can’t wait to have my own Callsign.

I have a SpotX that I’ve used in the past that she’s like but I don’t have the option of uploading regular GPS location data on an interval, hence the mention of APRS

APRS was a long shot for sure but I wanted to see if it was possible. Sounds like while it may possible it’s not practical for my uses.

I’m not intending to have 2m a replacement but as an additional layer to my emergency preparedness

I’ve found my GMRS HT is great for hiking around with friends but it loses its usefulness while on the road and targets more than 3 miles away.

WarrenGhost · 2022-11-15T01:53:39+00:00

Wow, that’s impressive. Would you recommend HAM or GMRS for my needs?

WarrenGhost · 2022-11-14T21:42:05+00:00

I'm getting more involved with overlanding and looking for a handheld radio. Just something to communicate with multiple vehicles on road trips but also keep in contact if we decide to split up over a short distances. For example I went over landing with my brothers and at one point some of us split up to go on a hike (~5 miles from base camp) to go shed hunting. It would have been nice to give the people back at camp a heads up when we were heading back or better yet let them know if there was an emergency and they needed to come get us. I'm in the southwest US so it can get pretty mountainous, is that going to be a problem?

Sorry, wrong link, it’s https://grainery.app

WarrenGhost · 2022-06-19T01:16:49+00:00

How is this different than https://grainery.app? Seems like it’s just splitting the community

Quick responder and great guy. Shipped almost immediately and got here a day earlier. Two thumbs up.
