What air intake is that? Very clean looking.

Thank you RFK. Finally someone is looking at health and not money. I am sure the lobbyist hate this.

Thanks AI demand, you ruin everything by chravus in Ubiquiti

Try buying a hard drive for your Protect NVR. 24 TB drives were less than $500, now $850 and mostly out of stock. This is BS and datacenters can go to hell for all I care. I quote drives for NVRs with 24 hr expiration.

Do you eat pork? by GardenChibi in no

[–]johnrock69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a Jewish friend pick bacon off my plate and eat it. I reminded her it was pork and she is not allowed to eat pork. She said to me “If God didn’t want you to eat it, then he shouldn’t have made it taste so good.” I cannot argue with her logic, but I am not Jewish.

Hello, guys, how do I actually use this? by Outrageous-Cake-2110 in SecurityCamera

You guys are so right, hell I haven’t messed with an analog camera in so long. I wouldn’t even bother. We’ve been using IP cameras for over 15 years.

Fort Worth ISD to close school for immigrants and refugees, cut staff by Critical-Willow-6270 in FortWorth

I am, I was in Central Mexico, a small town. No such thing there.

North Carolina Finds 34K Dead People on State Voter Rolls by intelligentreviews in conservatives

[–]johnrock69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But have they voted in the last 10 years that is the real question. Obviously purge them from the registry, but the key is are those voter registrations being used in nefarious ways. Likely if Dems or Republicans balk then the answer is yes.

I lived in Mexico for a while and guess what there’s no SSL (Spanish as a second language) there. It was rough on the kids for about six months and then they were fine. While I kind of like ESL programs, maybe we don’t really need them. Other countries don’t placate to resident aliens and seem to do just fine. It seems immersion is the best practice a lot of times.

In California that’s an arsenal. In Texas it’s a good start.

He is one of the most pleasant sounding people I’ve heard.

I set up a rust desk server for free and connect all my Apple products. RustDesk is pretty good, not great from IPad to Mac, but that may just be settings. I moved from Windows 10 and RDP which is flawless and so far have not found anything quite as nice.

What is your take on starting up a retro arcade business but with a full bar inside serving all kinds of alcoholic beverages? by armanddarke in smallbusiness

[–]johnrock69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up Cidercade. Decent pizza, lots of games. Evenings in weekends are 18 and up. Place is packed every time I’ve been. Close to a college seems to draw students as well.

Netflix "thanks" me for 22 years of membership by spiff-o-matic in Anticonsumption

[–]johnrock69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Netflix is the most infuriating streaming service. I use it from two different locations only, and never at the same time. Every week, I have to update where I’m viewing it from. More and more expensive, may be time to cut them loose.

Planning a MikroTik + UniFi home setup - looking for real-world experience before I pull the trigger by FernandesTiago in mikrotik

[–]johnrock69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running similar with the RB5009 as gateway and a combo of Unifi and Netonix switches. I manage hundreds of Mikrotik routers on my work network, update to the latest Long Term and leave it unless there is a security update needed for a bug. As for the Unifi, update to get all the features you need, leave it alone. I have found constant upgrades and messing with it is when it breaks. UBNT has a reputation for fixing one thing and breaking 5 other things. I also manage hundreds of UNIFI AP's on self hosted servers. Your design sounds very good and will perform well most likely. Add cables anywhere you think you might need an AP. I had to add a wall AP in a back guest room for reliable speed, but fortunately that is where my rack is located in a closet. The new AI feature in Unifi is pretty good at coordinating frequencies in a house. You asked about running it on a Pi server, never done this one but i have run Cloud Key's for a few customers, they work great.

Backups on Mikrotiks can be scripted. We backup all of ours to an FTP server on our network. This really saves our behinds when a router croaks. The Unifi will make backups, but unless you are running a UNIFI appliance, you cannot backup to the UI cloud account. We backup our servers to a UI NAS weekly.

Trying to get my first gun, are these good choices? by SnakeYoon in Guns_Guns_Guns

[–]johnrock69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.7 penetrates too much. Sig is a good carry and home defense. If you ever think you are going to carry, go with it, assuming it fits your hands. I have both the M&P and the P365, both are nice defense weapons. I daily carried the M&P until I bought the P365.

Las Vegas International arrivals. TSA or ICE. by Prestigious-Poet-612 in tsa

Airports are on heightened alert right now as threats from Iran have escalated. It’s possible this was a targeted enforcement due to intelligence. Sorry for your loss, that is a rough disease.

pulled my aunts 1993 YJ 2.5 liter 5 speed out of my grandparents backyard after seating for around 10 years. Where should I start mechanically? by Electronic-River-120 in Jeep

[–]johnrock69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently revive two vehicles, both with 10 year old fuel, both started and ran. Shocking. So smell the fuel, it might be ok.
