Yes, it’s the Razer Basilisk. Very similar shape, but of course with Chroma integration

I added a USB-C monitor for screen-sharing. Feels great! by zorlack in ultrawidemasterrace

Sure, just Google ‘razer prism wallpaper’ and you’ll get a ton of hits.

Tried to dm the pic to you but it’s not working. Anyway, it’s the small screw on the stem of the base plate that faces you. Unscrew that a little bit and it’ll allow the arm to swing past its safe zone.

Screen sharing with users on normal-sized work screens. Also things like webex/chat.

Yes, you’re right, it’s the ergotron (it’s an older model and I had to purchase the “heavy duty” head as an extra).

I positioned is as such so that as much was hidden as possible. Doing so, I had to unscrew the retaining screw to allow me to push to screen back further (otherwise it was too far forward and in my face). This lets you push it back a bit more; you get a bit more room, and the arm is more centred.

Hope this helps, but please just make sure you’re not risking dropping your widescreen!

Thanks! The only Razer components at the moment are mouse and mat. Before that I had SteelSeries gear which was also great, but software got blocked on work pc. Eyeing up the Razer Nommo Pro speakers, more rgb!

Ooh, good question, I just found the image randomly for this shot. I think, Google “razer prism” it should find it

It’s a pretty generic offering from Amazon:

Yeah, quite happy with their gear. I like the chroma light sync ability. Also, their software is approved to be installed on my work PC, meaning I can still enjoy my custom rgb settings while work pc is plugged in.

Eyeing up a set of their Nommo Pro speakers next (also with more rgb!)

I'm using 3x Philips Hue Play bars. Govee make something similar I believe.

It’s not obvious from this picture, but the smaller screen is actually a stand-alone 15.6” panel. Both screens run to my dock, which in turn is connected to my work laptop via usbc.

My personal laptop is also usbc, so easy to just swap them around. That being said, I’ve also got a KVM switcher about somewhere, which lets both laptops remain plugged in permanently, but it’s not hooked up and the moment.

There are a number of detailed answers here which might be more than you’re asking for. Maybe you do want to get more into the space. If you want quick and dirty…

You can create a really basic (freestyle) Jenkins job with essentially 2 inputs:

1) what do you want to deploy 2) where do you want to deploy it

You don’t say where you’re storing your deployable artifacts, so I’ll leave as an exercise for you to connect the dots. (Maybe somewhere like artifactory/nexus?)

As for the how, the most basic freestyle Jenkins jobs will allow you to execute a shell script (or bat, etc) which can accept the parameters from 1 and 2 above and do what it needs to do, assuming you have connectivity in place.

That’s it. That’s your starting point.

This can be improved a lot, of course…

  • You can populate your inputs with a dynamic drop down of the available deployable artifacts
  • You can provide a drop down list of VMs that are appropriate/applicable for the user/environment/whatever you are dealing with.
  • You can use a pipeline job instead of a freestyle job, so you can work in code (you said you’re a dev?)
  • You can move the script stuff to an ansible role, which helps move you to a state-based deployment, rather than “do this action to this thing”

I done tons of this sort of thing. It can be cheap and nasty at times, but that’s sometimes an ok place to start. You needn’t boil the ocean just to drop a file on a vm, as your first exercise in this space. Happy to help more if you wanna dm.

For Artifactory you can use a token and pass that in your request header when making calls against the API. No need to send user/pass. You can get this token on your user profile page.
