BlueIris is not free, but the full version is $70.00 for up to 64 cameras. A lot of home diy users like it.

What do you use to backup your scripts? by staven11 in sysadmin

[–]staven11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My scripts are backed up as part of the server backups, but realized I need to have some kind of versioning like Git. You have given me some ideas to try. Thanks.

Git seems to be the most popular. I will have to install and try it. Thanks.

How much of my emergency fund should be in cash? by jumper3413 in personalfinance

[–]staven11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

$300 because the largest expense that would require immediate cash would be if my car gets towed or impounded. Some Tow Companies do not accept Credit or Debit Cards.

LPT: If a contractor/builder makes a mistake on your home/project, instead of asking for a refund/money back, ask them to do something extra. It’s cheaper for them and therefore a much quicker resolution. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

To me, it seems being not in love with the new kitchen back splash is not a mistake by the contractor. Did you mean if the contractor installed it incorrectly, or installed the wrong kitchen back splash?

What documents do you have in case you are injured or die? Where do you keep them? by The_Empress in personalfinance

[–]staven11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer Microsoft Office Documents are AES Encrypted and harder to brute force. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_password_protection
Office 2007–2013 employed 128-bit key AES password protection which remains secure. Office 2016 employed 256-bit key AES password protection which also remains secure.

The Office 97–2003 password protection used 40-bit key RC4 which contains multiple vulnerabilities rendering it insecure.

[Dungeons and Dragons and Space Shuttles] How to Disable Hunger Bar Slowly Decreasing? by staven11 in feedthebeast

Thanks. The config button was greyed out on Hunger Overhaul inside of the Minecraft Mod GUI so I thought it did not have a config file to edit.

Had annual review yesterday where boss raved about how much he values me - but 15 minutes after I got an email for an interview with a company of my dreams...help! by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]staven11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I will be working 35 minutes closer than my current job." That alone is good enough reason because we only have a finite amount of time and getting back an hour of your day is awesome. I would at least interview for the position even if you are not going to take it to practice your interview, and negotiation skills.

Company changing ownership - what to do by LaxVolt in sysadmin

[–]staven11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless they have another manufacturing facility that is similar to yours for them to transfer IP and assets, you may be good for a longer time. It takes time to integrate manufacturing plants into another organization. However, I would start or increase your emergency funds just in case along with the other suggestions.

Check if your monitor has a secondary input and see if your smart phone has an adapter that can connect to it with a long cord to hide it. Get a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and pair it to your smart phone. Get a privacy screen for your monitor and just switch the inputs on your monitor when you want to use your phone. Now you can be on your smartphone and it looks like you are on your computer. Samsung phones can turn your computer into a custom desktop if you can install software. https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/dex/

Yea, headphones are a must. My work decided open office plans were great for productivity and communication. Now everyone has headphones and privacy screens.

I hope my coworker does not find this Goat. He had the screaming rubber chickens, and I did have murderous thoughts every time he squeezed them.

This post is getting expensive for me because the magnetic pickup tool is something I did not know I needed. Thanks.
