    without taking apart the PSU and desoldering them, no... also don't do yourself, it's high voltage and will kill you if you aren't careful!

    cryen!!!!! (crying sounding like cry-en) this post that is quoted and this one is useless and have no use apart from.... ah crap, i lost my train of thought.... damn... and i had a good one as well....

    oh.... cool!

    capacitors store energy and can also filter it as well when they get full they start to flow out excess with a stable flow of power, when they go bad this flow destabilizes and eventually it will act like the capacitor is no longer there

    my work pays for my internet but i host all of our offsite servers and most of my bandwidth is taken up by the work servers i'm not going to put up my speeds mainly because i'm at work and can't be bothered to do it when i get home but interesting to see what options people choose in the poll might keep an eye on this post.....

    it's the PSU this is common with PSU's that have s**t capacitors and are unable to send the correct voltage to power the system, if the PSU is still under warranty, send it back and get a better one the MB also can be problem one system i have had both the PSU and MB unable to stay online for more than 2 mins if you have another PSU, try that with your system and see if the system is stable enough to stay online for at least 24 hrs or more if you can do the same with your old PSU with a different system and see if it can stay online for at least 24 hrs or more if you can edit: i just realized this is my 1000th post on the forums! not that it matters...

    most surveillance software requires windows server or a linux server distro and won't work on consumer versions our work has a dedicated box from our surveillance providers and runs a customised linux distro designed for their use some only work on windows server, some are an OS (common on surveillance providers hardware), and some only work with custom hardware and requires their proprietary software and drivers to get it to work at all. what @leadeater suggested, Milestone, is great for small business and homes, but for larger ones, you have to pay a fee (monthly or upfront) to use the software and hardware

    oh god....

    been there, done that, did it with a bare bones version of linux with a f**k load of viruses that screwed with the system (things like moving the mouse cursor around etc.)

    1. oh sorry, thought you were talking about something else, sorry! 2. oh! oops, i might need to brush up on my reading skills, i starting to misread things and misinterpret them 3. no, RAID one creates a array with the data copied on both sides (if you get what i mean) what you were talking about having the data on three separate systems isn't possible without support from the operating system, hardware can't do that, it's completely software i don't think it's possible in windows without needing a lot of configuration, linux has it supported and can be configured to copy the data directly (like how linus showed us how to improve speeds from your main system to your server with a ethernet cable)

    it's called SSL https://www.globalsign.com/en-au/ssl-information-center/what-is-an-ssl-certificate/ to purchase one you have to get one from a SSL certificate provider an example we use at work is: https://www.thawte.com/ssl/ it's just that, once done, follow your website hoster program or web page to install the certificate on the web server and it should automatically work and start using http:\\ or https:\\ and their is no difference between http and https (as far as i know, there might be a difference on how the data is handled)

    every time, once this d**k though i was an idiot and explained the standards of ECC and how it worked, he got it wrong (as expected) so i corrected him by saying: ECC doesn't work that way, it detects and fixes the most common types of internal data corruption. don't talk to me like i don't know what i doing, even one of my co-workers prob has more knowledge about your computer than you... so don't try and talk dumb to me, i have a f**king diploma in tech so i clearly know what i'm talking about! just tell me the damn specs and what options are available to us! such a d**k

    i'm just sitting here with my nexus 5x running Android O and thinking, yea....i won't be upgrading for a long time.....
  19. samiscool51
    1. true to a point, but servers have to have maximum compatibility, it's like older systems having ethernet and modem, both were in use and to achieve maximum compatibility, they have to support both standards 2. no, redundancy is having multiple copies of a volume and it's contents on many storage devices, thats just RAID in general (i can't remember what level does that level of protection though). it's annoying to deal with it but after it's done it's worth it for your usecase i have only worked as a IT admin for 4-5 years, and the most annoying part is to figure out what server option is better for an organization
  20. samiscool51
    @leadeater yea, all of our work servers are custom made, my other tech friends say it's a stupid idea to custom build a server due to no-one testing the hardware config, i backup my statement saying it's cheaper and more customizable in the long run as the system can be upgraded without much effort and an OEM server with custom MB's and stuff.
  21. samiscool51
    it works, but the card will operate in 8x mode and run at that speed also some cards and MB's will refuse to work if they are in this config, be careful some people have permanently broken their equipment by doing this
  22. samiscool51
    it's not a good idea to have a lower end system to hold a CCTV camera system, limited explanation is the main problem with it if you are doing a max of 6-8 camras, it should be fine maybe 10 at the most if you have a really fast array but i don't work with them and most organizations just use premade services (not like the boys at the LMG head office),us included...
  23. samiscool51
    umm, don't run them in a hot environment, and a metal shelter is the last place you should have servers so long as it has house insulation,air con, power and ethernet wall ports, it should be fine also how many servers do you intend to have? having a small server farm (a large collection of servers working together or independently) are not cheap to run (electrical and internet costs).

    damn, a pi zero with 64GB storage would of beat everyone else out..... oh well....
  25. samiscool51
    it is done, behold console peasants as your lord is here!
