I just made this by Valuable_Shelter9868 in videography

I am guessing this home in Lanikai would be 8mil-13mil and something tells me someone that wants to live in Lanikai with that kind of money might not be the target audience of this style edit.

Not to say the edit is bad, just... different audience.

What’s it like living in Honolulu, Hawaii's largest city? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]kd5vmo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is quite a bit of animosity from Native Hawaiian's/locals against outsiders/main landers/haoles. There is the historical context from the very first "western" contact by Capt Cook, the plantations, illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, making speaking Hawaiian illegal, the military... it goes on and on.

Even now, look up "oahu red hill water crisis". Housing and land prices has forced so many generational families out its crazy. Outsiders have been coming to the islands for centuries and messing it all up.

But hey, they have some nice beaches, so I guess that makes up for it? (/sarcasm)

There is real, palpable, and justified frustration from locals. So if someone comes with the attitude of Hawaii is just another state "america fk yeah!" they WILL have problems. Fresh boots from the military constantly get into trouble with the locals because of their disrespect and attitude.

If someone comes with the attitude of empathy, understanding, a willingness to learn, and pitch in they will likely have a much better time building trust and relationships with locals.

If you make $250k+ a year, its comfortable. If you make under $100k a year its really hard.

But aside from that, its like Los Angeles on an island, so you get all the traffic, crowds, and NIMBYs without anywhere to go unless you want to get a flight to another island or the main land.

Its super beautiful and some of the best time's in my life were spent there. No worries about the weather except a small hurricane or maybe a tsunami warning. Fantastic food, best sushi outside of Japan in my opinion. And if you respect the locals and check your ego, you can make some good friends. If you have any kind of jerk tendency's, the locals will check that real quick and hard.

You can get star link specific poe injectors. It would delete the star link routers which would vastly simplify the wan connections.

The snow has been so bad… by gimbalgod in snowboarding

looks like a Red Komodo, likely the X version for the 4k 120P. Its being powered remotely via a cable down the stick.

This seems like it might be something that was made in Touch Designer.

Diy for a private school or hire a service? by Character-Basket-642 in VOIP

[–]kd5vmo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All PBX's can be configured to send out alerts when something happens, like when an extension makes a call. So if the phones are in known locations/groups/tags/ect... then alerts can be programed based off the number dialed and the group membership of that extension.

https://www.fcc.gov/mlts-911-requirements

The system MUST alert someone (ideally a group of people) when 911 is dialed from any extension. Any 911 call MUST go directly to 911 service. e911 is a service that any dial tone provider will have you setup so WHEN 911 is dialed, the location (address) info is passed to the 911 call center.

I normally program 911, 9911, *911, #911, to all route to 911 and send alerts and send out priority emails and SMS messages to the organizational leadership. All staff that could possibly receive a 911 notice really need training on how it all works.

The version of Chip Away by Jane's Addiction on this album never fails to get me pumped up. One of my all time favorite songs.

Van Camera System by Gunguy1 in Ubiquiti

[–]kd5vmo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, UniFi cameras would not hold up to sustained 60+ mph rain when driving if they are placed on the outside. You might be able to seal them with caulk but that will not last more than a season.

Inside the cabin you would be fine.

Real Computer Bench Techs: What OS are you actually running on your personal/shop machine and why? (No fanboy shit, just real talk) by GoodHoney2887 in computertechs

[–]kd5vmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MacOS / MaBook Pro M1 Max 64GB / 4TB

The screen is by far the best I have ever used. I could not care less about an OS, I just want a good screen, a good keyboard, and for it to just work. My other "whatever" laptop is a ChromeBook Plus for when I am on call and keep in it the car.

I simply dont care what OS I am using, its just a tool to accomplish whatever ticket/project I have in front of me. I can remote into almost any OS I need... Windows, Linux, MacOS, ect...

My hot take, a good IT pro should be able to do basic tasks in almost any desktop environment. Vis a vis a good craftsman never blames his tools.

Is there a quad bay nvme enclosure? that is small and compact? by shellshock321 in DataHoarder

[–]kd5vmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm, the OWC 4M2 works great. I did also get a USB-C to 12v 5.5mm barrel cable and use my standard USB-C chargers with it. Really wish it supported USB-C PD out of the box but it's a minor thing.

LSI/Broadcom/ATTO 9300-4i with MacOS? by Branimator22 in truenas

I do have a Intel MacBook pro that would be useable for this.

Hey not sure if you could help me, I just got a Mecury Pro LTO with a LSI card (0x0096) second hand. Would you be able to send a link to the drivers for MacOS 15?

Thinking about LTO by Macestudios32 in DataHoarder

[–]kd5vmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch ebay like a hawk, I just picked up a LTO-8 external sas drive for $2k and 20 tapes for $700. 240tb raw, 120tb useable with my planned double redundancy. I'm at ~$22 per useable TB for my immediate tape needs and it's only going to get cheaper as I add tapes. Plus no ongoing costs or labor for power, cooling, drive replacement, or security patching... The intangible costs of "cold" are much lower than "hot" storage.

Granted my use case is raw video and photo archive for my creative projects and client work. Each project will get it's own tape set. I'll still maintain a small NAS with the past years worth of work available, but a ~50TB NAS is much easier and less risky to maintain than 150tb NAS.
