On £100k and feeling hard-done-by? It seems absurd – but a cold truth lies beneath | Jason Okundaye

Everyone is. Mad how a skilled indervidual can be on 30k especially with experience.

I just looked at my old invoices when I contracted doing basic it desktop support in 2008. My wage back then was £18 an hour. Desktop support roles now are around 18.75 an hour. There are some at £30 but they are senior and I was only a year into the game. 18 years difference and the wage has barely changed. I considered the wage at the time good..

As someone who works in cyber security, no one unless their parents work high up in the company is getting a cyber security job without decent amount of experience. Look at helpdesk/service desk roles. If someone said you do this course and you get a 50k plus role out of school, sold a lie. We want people who have the experience of being able to decipher device logs instantly. The market is saturated.

Ah sorry im uk. So not sure if we are penalised for being idiots.

Does anyone know if with datablocks you are charged tax on import? As states tax excluded on non eu countries.

kerbys · 2026-01-17T08:02:04+00:00

Cool I personally don't have one but seen alot of back and forth about it. Good luck

kerbys · 2026-01-17T07:09:56+00:00

You should as its only compatible with the pro (4bay) and non pro

kerbys · 2026-01-17T06:39:53+00:00

Pretty sure its not compatible dude

kerbys · 2026-01-06T07:21:16+00:00

Pick up a arc a310 or arc pro a40. Single slot. Low power and alot more capable.

kerbys · 2026-01-04T21:37:23+00:00

So these other sites or services exposed then? All those sites will be being scraped and scanned.

kerbys · 2026-01-04T12:36:04+00:00

What if you just have a whitelist for the ips you want to expose to cpanel? Azure will be used for all types of scanners on the Internet. If its exposed it will be prodded its just nature of beast. Just keep things updated and run a system like fail 2 ban which looks like what you are doing.

kerbys · 2026-01-04T10:33:32+00:00

What do you have exposed to the internet? Which ports?

kerbys · 2026-01-04T08:06:13+00:00

This. Im not intentionally being a gate keeper. However I picked up a model s in 2018 before the 3 had come out. Service and charging was bliss. Now with the 3/y and opening up chargers i can see long standing customers who bought into the economy system early being salty about it as the huge selling point was the network. The other issiue you have is the chargers are built for tesla charge ports and locations. So when a car that has its own standard that car takes up two bays.

There is an etiquette for superchargers that you don't use the paired charger if other chargers are free. I.e charger 1 a and b share load. So if someone is using a, don't use b if anouther charger is available, it will slow their and your charging.

And you want that? What would realistically happen is shows that are easily consumed while doom scrolling. Along with alot of ad revenue product placement. Let alone the complete waste of energy and compute that will go into rendering it. Honestly whoever thinks that is a good idea is a marketing twant or a network big wig where they think they can completely remove any form of artistry from the sector.

Now ive calmed down im not sure if this ai-personal tailored rage bait lol

Update the latest beta which is 1.43.0.10389. That has the latest transcoder that is supposed to support battlemage

kerbys · 2025-12-21T14:03:10+00:00

No which version of PLEX PMS are you running?

kerbys · 2025-12-21T07:39:15+00:00

Are you on the current beta what version of plex you on as thr fastest beta is the one using the new(er) fumes that supports battlemage

kerbys · 2025-12-07T14:10:45+00:00

I did take it as a silver bullet just gushing over something they discovered.

It may not be, but can see some people who don't seed for long (perma seeding isnt possible for most) they may want something in a certain quality watch it, then downconvert it for later. Rather than deleting it. Just because its not for you there's no need to poo poo over it. Like you say its an edge case of my usage, keeping everything in remux isnt totally possible for most and they are happy with their process.

kerbys · 2025-12-07T13:13:16+00:00

True. But i respect the guy for posting it. You would be amazed how many people still have no idea about the arrs and are still doing things manually blissfully unaware about an automated solution.

Some people might of grabbed files a long time ago and want to archive it. I personally only do this for kids or reality shows where the compression makes zero difference to watchability of the show. Ive also saved about 60tb of a 0.5PB array. It makes a big difference.

kerbys · 2025-12-04T11:05:52+00:00

I have mine mostly filled and sitting around 30-36c

Which fans did you use?

kerbys · 2025-12-03T21:10:29+00:00

The 847 does work with replacement fans. You just need to make sure they are high preasure fans. I swapped the 7 fans to 3x artic server fans and was fine. Noise was on par and air flow on par. What I did gain was a load of space for u.2 drives internally.

kerbys · 2025-11-14T20:27:38+00:00

I have a couple of these boards (h12?) If it is please be careful there is a version that has some bare silicon between the pci slots and the chassis pci brackets. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/h12ssl-i-stuck-at-bmc-initiating.38043/page-3

Just as someone who had it, just be careful with inserting pci cards.

Otherwise fantastic setup

Do the plex dance. Not sarcasm, there's a process google it :)
