i will check as soon as i can and get back to you

I typed in my nas's ip:9000 into chrome

to the best of my knowledge I'll go over it againt to see what I've done wrong but yes, i'm saying i cant get anything to turn up on port 9000

I wasn't certain, thanks for clearing that up the length is only 5m and its better than normal cat 6 so it shouldn't drop too many packets if its pushed to 10g

i have an old dell optiplex 990 with an i5 2500 and 16gb ram (super cheap kit) and it does a fantastic job for the 8 users that are on at once all with 32 chunks.

I'm using its SFP+ variant in my rig and its held up really well. only thing is I needed to go get the drivers myself (ASUS made it really simple tho)

I have a CAT6 cable that cannot be changed out that I need to push 10gig through. The way it is currently set up would lend itself to being changed out on one end for a SFP+ to ethernet adapter plugged into my unifi aggregation switch and on the other a 10gig ethernet switch. I don't know if going from sfp+ adapted to ethernet to a 10gig ethernet port is compatible. If someone knows can they please clear this up for me. I'm kinda a noob with fibre standards (all I've done up to this point has been multimode fibre runs that are very generic)

This is my first time using docker and one of my first times using linux other than Home Assistant on a raspberry pi so I'm unclear on whether I've done something entirely wrong, missed a step, or if the latest versions of these docker containers are no longer compatible (I don't even know how that would work so sorry if that's so out of touch its offensive or smthg). I can't access the portainer. Am I supposed to be accessing it on my synology's local ip with the port 9000? or have I just misunderstood? could someone please help, theres 6 gaming PCs in the house and all on the same games but the internet speed barely breaks 5mbps so a seige update will set us back a week instead of a night atm.

I cooled my r7 3800x for the first 2 months of having it with a hyper 212 evo but found that it ran close to 90 degrees so switched to a darkrock pro 4 It will cope - think it is the same TDP as the Wraith RGB (stock cooler for the 3800x) but the larger fan does not need to run as fast and in theory should be more quiet.

I use Chrome on my laptop and phone (Ram isn't an issue cause its pretty much all I use for those devices and they're both a bit overpowered) however I have Firefox as a secondary on both devices. On my desktop rig I use firefox because I don't need it to sync with work or school and I have no use for chrome extensions past the essentials that are on Firefox anyway, I enjoy the enhanced customisability of firefox and the nature of the rig is that it is in a public room and is not always attended to by myself so I have an internal password on it for sensitive information such as emails or banking etc. I am not sure if passwords exist in Chrome but I wouldn't want them on my laptop or phone anyway because those don't get left on in the same way with little security. I have got Chrome on the desktop rig just because there are the odd ocasions when I want to use some chrome features but those are rare. I can see how Ram is an issue and I can have a lot of tabs open at once (currently 86 across 3 accounts open on my laptop) but I never use my full ram, processor capacity, or battery even close to fully anyway and I like the convenience of keeping things open so I can flick between. This has been a bit of a ramble TL;DR I use Chrome and Firefox, Firefox is secondary on mobile devices cause work and Chrome is secondary on the rig cause I like its security features there.

I posted about this recently but the feedback did not work. I have a 1TB nvme drive as my windows boot drive (C). I used the Seagate disc copy tool to copy over the disc from my old C drive which was a 240GB ssd and now my 1TB drive only gives me access to a 225GB partition with a 708.5GB "Healthy (Recovery Partition). How can I extend my primary partition to the full drive? The extend the partition button does not come up for the primary partition and no options come up for the reserved 700GB.

sounds like you need to overhaul your cooling, even a hyper 212 evo will do a decent job with an i5 4590, when you say add, did you also wipe off the old stuff? If you want to keep the cpu and it is perfectly ok then pick yourself up a rtx 3070 (you may also need a new power supply) That leaves some money for a high refresh rate monitor. You're better off waiting for Gen3 Ryzen which is due very soon CPU-wise but an i5 4590 is not a slouch and I wouldn't be overly worried about it as long as you figure out the cooling.

I know its not quite the filling the ethernet requirements but the Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/udm-pro. It has SPF+ WAN and LAN ports along with an 8 port gigabit ethernet switch. Its resonably well priced but I don't know what region you're in so I can't quote. Pair it with a 10 gig ethernet switch that also has at least one SFP+ port you've found youself a pretty decent option and I'd guess for less than most alternatives with similar features. Cat7 has more bandwidth than Cat6a and it all depends on the EMI of the enviroment but theoretically cat5e can take 10gig but probably not in the real world. I use Cat6a Sheilded for my 10gig links (each about 45m) and they work without issue but its worth checking the distance because over copper the interference raises and can stop it from being able to carry 10gig. I ran into this problem with a long run I had and I had to switch to multimode fibre. in summary for short runs Cat6a is fine.

I play flight sim usually and when I'm not its Hoi4 or cities skylines. so not a great disadvantage

any way I can test?
