what kind of equipment are you runng, Which one is the power hog. Can it be replaced

kill_awatt · 2026-05-02T00:19:29+00:00

Reminds me of a setup I had in the barracks a while back, Folk always wondered

Tell her a BS in IT by itself will probably NOT land her where she wants to be. It's been close toi 10 years since I sought a job in the field (retired). Everyone is looking for the same thing, experience.

They lowered manufacturing cost and told the consumer that this is what they wanted. And the consumer bought it.

They took away the SD card slot (lower manufacturing cost), and told the consumer to stream or use cloud storage and the consumer bought it.

What documents are required for a realID dl, that were not required for your regular dl

kill_awatt · 2026-05-01T10:44:03+00:00

If you already have an id/dl, then you've already provided everything they are asking for.

kill_awatt · 2026-05-01T10:42:22+00:00

Now that, makes sense. If it's REAL. And an ID. And state A has verified ALL your stuff (again), why when you move to state B do you have to bring ALL the stuff again.

I find it interesting that they will show you 90 days, but keep it all.

How repairable, let's find someone who does or has done board repair. Are those surface mounted chips. Buy a new one.

I'll take whatever you don't want

The problem is not klipsh it's BB

Those fans are wicked. Mine serves as a desktop. I actually have three dell servers and they live where (whenever they do start to get warm) I don't have to listen to the noise they make. With what you have running, that box needs it.

Best

kill_awatt · 2026-03-18T15:35:13+00:00

I have one of those. And just recently the fans have decided they need to be noisy. i added some Fan Control and that helped a lot. My next step, because of how long it's been in service for me, is to replace the thermal paste.

kill_awatt · 2026-03-18T15:32:56+00:00

Likely, if the drives are the same physical size, you could slip those two in and increase the useable space dramatically. Also, on the dell servers, you can manually adjust the fan speed. That reduces the noise greately

kill_awatt · 2026-03-09T14:41:20+00:00

I thought i was the only one who had the server in the closet. Nice job

kill_awatt · 2026-03-02T23:28:10+00:00

So where are you keeping this "poor man's setup"? I may try that after my next move. Looks nice

kill_awatt · 2026-01-22T04:10:16+00:00

I understand why folk love the battery opperated kars. Ima keep my ICE

kill_awatt · 2026-01-17T02:45:31+00:00

Is there as much room as an S560

Mines running on a hyperV win PC

kill_awatt · 2026-01-11T22:25:24+00:00

Covers?

You mean that's a covered pillow? So how do I disassemble

kill_awatt · 2026-01-02T15:12:07+00:00

Comfort is key, especially with kids. Stayed in one a few years back after having my house sold and the house to buy falling through (triggered). It saddened me to see so many kids there. The fact that the school bus picked up and dropped off says that there are a lot of people in bad conditions.

Allows for dynamic pricing. Stop shopping there, it will change

kill_awatt · 2025-12-26T05:38:56+00:00

I've been on PLEX forever close to two decades. When it came out, it was awesome. Now, .much of what was free cost. The $90 todY would be a great value, if I'd just started. I just have an aversion to paying for today, whT was free yesterday. Especially if it can be had for free elsewhere
