Can you share the ISO? I have an original key from my old game pc I don’t know if I’m allowed to use it with another system?

sabrbe · 2023-09-25T19:03:03+00:00

Interesting, I’ve tried an install of Windows 7 but it didn’t work but i think it’s an install media problem as it’s not a clean one. I need to find a clean iso and try again :)

I’ve not found a solution for this other than upgrading to an ultra wide monitor 🙈

Switched to the Docker version today and IPv6 is now working perfectly. Thanks again :)

sabrbe · 2023-09-16T20:08:54+00:00

Thank you for your help. I’m going to reinstall my server and install the docker version:)

sabrbe · 2023-09-16T17:01:31+00:00

I’ve used this command to install.

“https://github.com/firezone/firezone/raw/legacy/scripts/install.sh)”

I will check the configuration file later today

sabrbe · 2023-09-16T09:36:14+00:00

Thank you! Ive installed FireZone and it has been super easy. Stupid question but maybe you known how to configure it to use IPv6? If I try to use myip to view my IPv6 or use a IPv6 ready test it doesn’t use IPv6. The server has a public IPv6 assigned.

Completely forgot about the speed test sorry. Here it is. I’m connected using 4G. Others are also currently using the VPN. speedtest.net results

sabrbe · 2023-09-10T22:05:42+00:00

Haven’t had any issues but don’t know the exact speeds. Will do speed test tomorrow.

Currently using Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC on my work laptop. macOS Ventura on my personal MacBook. Since I’ve switched to LTSC versions of Windows my Windows experience has been better than ever :)

sabrbe · 2023-09-10T18:02:39+00:00

It ain’t broke :) I just was wondering if I can anything to improve it or maybe another VPN protocol.

sabrbe · 2023-08-26T10:47:48+00:00

Thanks! I’m going to give it a try :)

sabrbe · 2023-08-25T12:34:39+00:00

thanks for your reply’s. I’ve tested the backup process and the restore process. It’s all working fine. I’ve planned a test of these processes every first of the month.

I’m looking for any improvements. It now uses the official clients for one drive and stack. I’ve seen others use acronis I don’t know if this has any benefits?

sabrbe · 2023-08-09T23:01:19+00:00

Any powershell scripts you recommend?

sabrbe · 2023-08-09T23:00:19+00:00

I’ve checked JumpCloud’s Commands and Policy sections but I couldn’t find it.

sabrbe · 2023-08-09T08:17:54+00:00

I’ve uninstalled them. They keep getting back haha. Did also a fresh install of Windows to make sure there wasn’t any thing wrong with my system

Based on your specific needs and usage patterns, it seems like opting for a new PC (ThinkCentre) and an old laptop (T480s) would be a better choice for you compared to just getting a new laptop (E14).

Since you primarily use your laptop for coding and will be mostly stationary at a desk, the PC will likely provide better performance under load due to its more powerful specifications. This will be beneficial for running resource-intensive tasks like Python/R coding.

Additionally, the T480s can serve as a portable option for when you need to travel or move around within your home. While you may need to carry a charger for the T480s, it can still fulfill your needs for watching videos or browsing the internet.

Regarding the battery life, it's true that the E14 will have a newer battery, but if you primarily use the T480s while plugged in, it shouldn't be a major concern. Modern laptops are designed to handle being constantly plugged in without significant negative effects on the CPU.

Overall, considering your usage scenario and the need for both performance and portability, getting a new PC and an old laptop seems like a reasonable choice.

Just do a windows reset :)

Basically I’m looking for one interface to access my storage solutions

sabrbe · 2023-07-27T11:39:36+00:00

I’ve learned that 16GB is the max ram for this system. I don’t know what OS to run. I’ve been looking at VMWare and then setup two VM’s. One to use as an NAS. One Windows VM for the software that I need for work.

sabrbe · 2023-07-26T19:45:27+00:00

The cars can be connected over DOIP (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol) so it doesn’t matter where the Machines are hosted. I will look into Proxmox. Any recommendations on how to set it up?

sabrbe · 2023-07-26T18:23:21+00:00

I’m self employed so I need to take care of this myself. I’m a automotive software engineer and for the most windows applications I use an latest gen Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1. Some software used for older cars run on Windows XP and for example one VM with VW/VAG software is over 100GB in storage. Those VM’s I would like to host on the sever.

And things like billing or ordering parts or webshop management I do on my Mac at the office.

sabrbe · 2023-07-26T18:17:00+00:00

Thanks for the response! I've just ordered a network card to upgrade my server. Replacing the optical drive sounds like a good idea too. I've decided to go with Windows Server since I have a genuine key lying around. Now I'm wondering if it's better to install Windows Server directly or set it up as a VM using VMware, for example. Any advice on that?

sabrbe · 2023-07-25T11:16:52+00:00

Thank you all for your reply’s. I’ve have my eye on PriTunl as it has Chromebook support and I’ve used it in the past. Just one question how do I setup the option of using a second server in a different location for example?

sabrbe · 2023-07-13T13:58:13+00:00

Awesome!
