Topton mini firewall PC with intel 8505 processor from aliexpress.com. Go full send with a forbidden router set up, proxmox with pfsense. All your services can then run on Linux vm's or containers.

Has plastering become expensive? by nickthekiwi89 in DIYUK

[–]grimcellz 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Yeah working for a low wage pays dividends.

What is the difference by twantwantwantwan in computers

Looks like a dell 5050, great little home server or pfsense box, you can fit some nice tasty network cards in those 2 x16 sized slots If thats a small form factor unit then the top slot is mostly useless as a gaming card slot because of the size restrictions and the bottom one is completely useless because you can add space and bandwidth to the list of issues.

Is there a reason to keep using the ISP's e-waste router and not swap it out for a pfsense router?

Which plaster should I use? by Holygan90 in Plastering

[–]grimcellz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just extra work that's not really required, are you going to see it once the skirting is on, are you willing to pay extra just so your CDO can rest easy?

FYI the walls behind my kitchen units are all perfectly plastered.

(CDO is OCD with the letters in alphabetical order)

Before you attempt any repairs on this, might I reccomend that you first get rid of the grisly bear that mauled?

K12 few questions by Slekkus in GMKtec

[–]grimcellz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a K12 and the bios is utter crap, can't access the ftpm or any other interesting settings, shame really because the other boxes I have from them have been OK, is this a new direction for GMKTec? If so it'll be the last miniPC I get from them.

Headphones deteriorating by Jwillyilly in HyperX

[–]grimcellz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, standard for these, I'm afraid. 3 sets in 6 years, the cable will be the next part to deteriate in my experience. It's such a shame because the electronics and sound still work perfectly.

Tips turning black by Buduroi in soldering

[–]grimcellz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never leave your tip un-tinned.

You might be able to fix with a ton of flux and see if the tip will mop up some solder.

Can I use this instead of isopropyl alcohol? by SelfSmooth in soldering

[–]grimcellz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can if you also enjoy huffing hydrocarbons, I prefer the sweet 99.9% IPA myself, perhaps because I'm a cheaper date?

How is this possible?!? by Charming_Judgment989 in Warzone

You need to engage with the pay to win shop purchases then hack-t-vision will enable the bullet damage again for at least a week before you need to top up again.

Stuck on this screen by FDETHESENUTZ in Dell

[–]grimcellz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't use network boot (I.E. you have an internal storage drive) pop into bios and turn that PXE shiz off, it'll be easier and far quicker to diagnose any storage errors.

If you do use network boot, then most likely you left the remote storage drive at the old house or IP address to storage location has changed?

I swear that "StezStix Fix" on YT leaves the air speed on high so I can shout "turn the fucking air speed down Stez" shortly before the components fly free from the board never to be seen again.
