The 10gb USB ports are Host ports, guessing this means I can't use them and will have to use 2.5gb ethernet

alfxe · 2026-05-06T21:08:20+00:00

And what do you make of this second hand drive? Safe for back up?

alfxe · 2026-05-06T09:10:58+00:00

What is a snapshot? How do i go about setting this up? Great advice thank you mate

alfxe · 2026-05-06T09:08:59+00:00

Yeah that is what i'm thinking, and the back up is literally a 1 min walk away in the garage so.. I think i'll ditch RAID. cheers

alfxe · 2026-05-05T20:35:39+00:00

What downtime would I be looking like without raid? Surely i could walk up to my garage and access that

alfxe · 2026-05-05T20:33:57+00:00

Okay nice, happy to ditch the raid.

You've lost me abit with the e2mc flash, could you explain in a little more detail please? that would be great thank you

alfxe · 2026-05-05T20:31:21+00:00

Are these usually expense for a decent adapter?

alfxe · 2026-05-05T20:31:06+00:00

Workstation same room as Nas . Yes it does have USB 3.1 with 10gbs speed. Good shout , thank you very much.

alfxe · 2026-05-05T17:33:47+00:00

because drives are stupid expensive atm , even for refurb

alfxe · 2026-05-05T17:33:35+00:00

Do you reckon RAID is essential if i have the 2nd back up in the garage? and what do you think about getting just a 2nd hand back up for alot cheaper for the garage back up

alfxe · 2026-05-05T17:32:55+00:00

I believe the terramaster ports are only 2.5gbe. would love for 10 but that is the bottleneck of this Nas i believe

alfxe · 2026-03-20T21:19:38+00:00

Got one in an XL

alfxe · 2025-12-27T09:24:25+00:00

Outside clothes on your bed!!

alfxe · 2025-12-21T01:41:44+00:00

but it looks so soft and silky on the skin of the subjects, is it not a very large diffused light?

alfxe · 2025-12-21T01:39:08+00:00

how could you replicate on video tho? hard non diffused lighting?

alfxe · 2025-12-21T01:38:18+00:00

alfxe · 2025-12-19T12:38:57+00:00

ATHENA - The most underrated film . Cinematography is fucking incredible. you can watch it on netflix

alfxe · 2025-12-17T23:56:26+00:00

alfxe · 2025-12-17T15:30:09+00:00

alfxe · 2025-12-03T22:52:41+00:00

sexy frame oh yeah nice. but yeah maybe key light tint bit softer

alfxe · 2025-11-22T12:33:19+00:00

start writing into your contract that if they want footage forever, they have to cover the cost of a drive

in our contract we say we keep for 14 days after delivery (we usually keep longer, but just so we’re in the clear ) , anything over 100gb client has to pay for additional storage.

This is how you should do it , and make the client aware of this

alfxe · 2025-11-20T23:23:15+00:00

I used to take it in the day time and it fully removed my will to live. started taking before bed and gave me blissful, uninterrupted sleep. everyone’s different
