  1. Well yeah. Solve it anyway, as wrote in the edit above. The thing is Romania is the most corrupted country in Eastern Union due being part of URSS block and every store wants (comunist tradition ) to make more money with less work so they bump the prices to the sky. And most people like this way because they get loans to buy the newest Iphone/Samsung and cool cars . Long story short, in all transactions is a third party that takes a slice of pie and ordinary people are the one to pay. So yeah....
  2. Thank you for your response. The country is Romania. And to give you a glimpse that very mikrotik is around $420 w/o TAX. We have grate internet speeds (1Gb) but all the equipment that has above 1Gb capability is overpriced AF....... EDIT: found the same at a lower price and I'm really thinking going for it. Thanks again for your time
  3. Hello to everyone. This pandemic time determined me to do more work at home and sadly my old NAS kicked the bucket and now I want to step up the game a bit and implement 10Gbe only to get faster speeds between my workstation and NAS (the new nas will be made from old PC with FX processor and also increase size with a rackable server case). Having the backup made on the NAS was a nightmare. Pulling and writing large files to the poor machine (may rest in peace) took almost forever and now i need to take it up a notch. I want to get a line between my NAS and PC but the problem is the next one: right now i have the modem +router in the room with the PC and it use a coaxial line for now ( in few years I will get a fiber) and the coaxial is placed inside a PVC pipe pre-routed in concrete walls getting me an almost straight line to the room I want to move the nas and all the network stuff. Due the fact that I want to keep the coaxial line to be able to use it for TV, I'm forced to use fiber optic, CAT can't fit thru the PVC pipe and to get it thru walls is a lot of work and unaesthetic. So I'm looking for a switch that have 2SFP+ 10Gb and few 1Gb RJ ports. Has anyone any option at an affordable price? In my country 10Gbe RJ45 equipment is at a premium price, but a friend refurbished 2 servers with SFP+ NICs so I can get them from him and I have a connection that can get me fiber optic for a really cheap price.
  4. I'll post this here and watch form my back seat. P.S. This topic is archived on some videography forums since 2013 or 2014 xD https://www.cinema5d.com/whats-inside-a-red-mini-mag-the-controversy-jarred-lands-statement/
  5. might be. but was the same on my work PC =)) and there I dont have any Adblock or extensions
  6. This is very off topic (or at least I hope so ). Sooo, I was watching some local sites for a new monitor (just big and cheap for my code lines) and I've found a Lenovo that look fairly good for what I need. And what is someone doing when he finds something that could be next thing to spend money on? Search for reviews, especially videos. One of the google hits were a site that incorporate the message "Uploaded by Techquickie". I'm like: "OK? What the f**k?" and search whole site for that video knowing that formula and the thumbnail is from YT and nothing It seems that Techquickie channel is so famous that it is used even for advertising. Here you have a screenshot with 2 links in same search, at the same site, with the same advertising strategy
  7. Linus said he put his at his ankle in some video
  8. This is WOW. did they found few left in their warehouse? I really want to hear about this in WAN show this Friday.
  9. @NelizMastr Yeah, it was 8.something. And it is detected by iTunes. It ask to restore or update software. It makes all the steps unitl it says something about installing recovery firmware and then it spits out "unknown erro( -1)"
  10. Hello. Yesterday I've found my forgotten and lost iPad3 and I did an upgrade. At it's final, the iTunes started to spit out the -1 unknown error. After a fast search on the web I've found that baseband is unsoldered. The apple store already turned me down, they don't have any more spare parts for it they said. Did anyone heated that chip to be reballed? And does anyone know how it looks like? I know that it is a MDM9600 chip.
  11. I was lookig to give you a more aggressive answer but I change my mind in the last moment and beside that I was trying to be polite. Ok there was my mistake, it is not 65 but 80w. Now let's get back to your judgement. If you show me a workstation with i3 I'll send an envelope with hand-written apologize. Now maybe you can run unraid or vms with that partial core or whatever, but plex and pfsense need a full one especially if he want to stream to 4 users, even so i3 will be at it's limits.
  12. yeah but i would like to see your i3 8100 to have unraid (1T used), plex (1T) and use 2T for: No offence @NelizMastr but I would, like to see you running windows on 2 @3.5GHZ or what clock does it have. Besides checking mail and some watching YT it won't be enough. That without upgrading to CCTV. He asked for my opinion and I gave it. It is true the fact that it has higher TDP but you can get for cheap a 65W 4c/8t xeon at decent speeds, but it is not OK to promote something that it will keep him limited.
  13. Most older workstations were based on Xeon CPUs. That were actually i7 or even i5 that meet certain requirements, like being very stable at certain speeds. Now if you don't want to buy a brand new i9 ( now the new xeons doesn't have any point besides servers) you could buy an older E3, they are i7s on steroids. Right now I'm thinking about an e3 hexacore+ Asus rampage extreme mobo around 260$. p.s. the e3 that I'm looking at is a 3.8GHZ turbo. It has 130W at max load, but the energy is fairly cheap where I live
  14. actually static IP is not that bad, keeping in mind that it is easier to be found over internet, now he need to think about speed. if every client download 10Mbps and he have 100 clients, he need more than 1Gbps enternet speed upload. Besides, he need to comunicate with other servers for the same game/s and that is a substantial speed needed. To get those speeds you need to have a fully connection for company and that is expensive, static or dynamic, whatever you get, and again you need time to save the investment.
  15. I don't know that too. 100mb is required for using a NAS as cloud, but running a game server........... you need much mooooore
  16. https://www.rustafied.com/how-to-host-your-own-rust-server/ this was my friend's resource first search on google. No CPU mentioned in that tutorial tho. he went with regular skylake i5 at first and just recently update to 8400 it. You can take it from there and multiply your rig. Where I'm from, you get 1Gbps up and 250mbps down for something like 12$ and this is like home use standard. If you are a small company, with 140$ you get 10Gbps up and around 100gbps down, 1 main line + 2 safe lines, each using different path to the provider's servers (different direction and different placement : to north via pillar, south-east via pillar, west underground). Even for home plan you are not forced to use a maximum amount of data ( let's say 12GB max) you can use how ever you want. Your only restriction is the law and the bandwidth
  17. For setting up the game server software there are a lot of tutorials, the hard part is to know what to do in case of a hardware or firmware failure. There you need a solid knowledge about servers OS. linux is more pliable then Windows, but windows is more friendly and can obtain similar performance like linux but you need to know it's hidden secrets. Every os has his own down-sides but you need to master it to get performance from it.
  18. Like @Pixel5 said, you need a fast connection. from there, if you really want to make that server, you could just check on the web for specs. A friend of mine run a Rust 2 server for his gang and he is using an I5 8400 with 16 GB Ram just to be safe, and he has some pretty nice breathing-room. From this you can scale it up. Now, I don't know why would you charge for it. you wont make serious money from that unless you have solid profit for years. For example, the only payment for my friend is a beer or something from time to time.
  19. you could use on top or on side a hole hidden by the LCD. something like a false double wall. I can't explain right now the ideea but I'll show you what I mean in couple of hours, when I get home from work
  20. That date being pretty behind, it is safe to say that you already installed the SSD, right? It is working (I'm dead curious to know how it went(
  21. I'm not a guru of photography or videography but I want to buy a DJI Phantom 3 because it is fairly cheap and I want to gen a new perspective for my hollydays and different events where I attend. Can someone tell me what to check when I'm buying a drone? Mechanically I know the basics (it is not my first drone) but at camera is where i lag behind. Thanks in advance.
  22. @youmanyousef on unraid I'm familiar how to do it and it is easy too, but the tricky part is to get that 100Mbps down for VPN at server end
  23. Now i get what you mean My father use for his job a VPN created for employees. When he is connected to that VPN he can upload stuff to their servers. All the employees are working from home or on field. You need to setup a VPN and something like a VM to be able to access it remotely. Like that he can connect to vpn, he acces the VM via VNC or something similar and voila, he use same pc to do his tax services
