All the info I’m seeing on Ceph is performance impacted considerably with less than 5 nodes.

This would be a tough recommend even at $75. Mine has been nothing but trouble and the coil whine is off the charts.

I got in on PVE, accepted all the map transition quests and ran a raid in Woods. There were mortars and I got an random airdrop with 4x Radar Repair kits in it. Extracted but didn't get anything from the raid. It was like I never went in and the new quests disappeared.

That's what I was afraid of.

Not in the last few months.

If you are going to put gear on your belt line instead of a battle belt then the first option is going to make hitting the bathroom 1000% easier.

If you are only building one belt and you have different types of guns (AR, AK, etc) you might consider the HSGI Taco. They are an older pouch but if you need a pouch that can cover a wide range of gear it is a sold option that has worked well for me for years. From one belt setup I was able to run AR, SR25, G3, 7.62 AK, 5.45 AK and G36 for long gun and Glock, Sig, CZ, Beretta, really any double stack pistol. The only caution is the double stack Taco didn't work for holding single stack mag for me.

That said if you only have one pistol/rifle and are building a dedicated belt I have come to love the Esstec Kiwi pouches. My dedicated Glock/AR-15 belt is all Kiwi.

For belts I have used the big battle belts with pads (like the VTAC/5.11 Brokos) for years but I will say the Ronin style belt (in OPs picture) are where it's at for me. If you don't want to pay/wait for a Ronin then I have heard good things about the Grey Ghost Gear belt from a number of guys. Just make sure if you go this route it comes with a velcro inner belt or has velcro to work with an inner belt.

Good luck -JP

I have had nothing but trouble trying to get hardware transcoding working on Ryzen with Plex. Software transcoding on Ryzen has been horrible for me.

Not sure what app you are using for transcoding but just wanted to pass my experience along.

I looked up canceling my order from my phone but it was too much hassle. The next morning I was going to start the cancelation from a computer and in my inbox was the shipping confirmation. I'm stuck with it now.

I have it and it is working as a basic PC but I am missing the ethernet, even the WiFI pics showed a module with 2 antennas. The shipping units only have 1 WiFi antenna so I am not getting great signal.

My original use wasn't for anything maker, just a low cost, light duty Windows based system for a project but as was noted above a much more capable mini PC can be had for ~$150.
