The payment processor is the company that takes the charges from your credit/debit machine and sends it to the companies account in a secure manner. sounds simple but it isn't simple enough where you can do it in house.

it made sense for my work related activities. i figured, might as well get one that is great at all things. I came from an HP omen 34", but still needed a second screen.

Also, they likely hire a wide range of people. The processes are there so you can have an entirely unskilled person work the phones. Considering every call center contract I was on had near 100% turnover rates after 3 months, you can see how that would be a problem. Tech support for a small company usually had folks burn out after a couple years (unless you are a masochist like me).

Cut my teeth in call centers back in the day. You could have a smoking gun set of symptoms, jump to the correct action, then have your team leader reprimand you for not sticking to the process. Its frustrating, but try and have mercy on the poor souls on the other end of the line. They are micromanaged into near uselessness.

I relate so hard to the UV build. I did literally the exact same thing. but i flattened a paperclip and got UV reactive molex connectors. Several hours and shredded fingers later and it actually won an award at a lan party. DFI lan party board, UV cold cathode tubes. It was baller AF.

Or find you an old office PC/workstation on e-bay that has the required internal drive bays, then use one of the many nas OS's out there. unraid is my favorite.

He strikes me as being on the spectrum.

is it transcoding or playing native?

mesh devices with a dedicated backhaul is a good option if ethernet runs arent going to work. I use asus zen wifi, i was getting 600-700 megs between my base station and the remote end. These were the AC modelits going thru roughly 3 interior walls and 50-60 feet. you can add more units and i believe they will lock to the closest node. Proper mesh units with a dedicated backhaul radio means you don't degrade speeds by half for every hop like traditional extenders. additionally, mocha 2.5 gets pretty good speeds if your coax is decent quality.

can you post your firewalld/iptables rules?

in my case, i had one going to my router, and one going to a VM via a NIC passthru. In another use case i could have a router for me and a router for my basement tenants so we would keep our own shenanigan's to ourselves.

im getting ipv4 addresses from mine, but you are correct. OP's configuration is culprit here.

unraid is dummy-proof. got it up and running the first try super easy. you can trial it for free too. licenses are cheap.

im literally doing this with my telus provided gateway, i just put it into bridge mode. two ports in use, each of those two devices gets a public IP

i have some older 6tb sas drives and im running unraid. which means only a single disk is getting used at a time generally. it saturates my 1gbps link no problem. my server has a 10g uplink to my switch, I do have a 1.2tb cache drive for my VM's and write caching, and i could stash some shares on there if i wanted if i was expecting multiple 1gig links to pull from a subset of data. It was cheap and used on an old 10core xeon server chassis. If i was 10gig networking everywhere, id probably just look at the unraid beta that supports ZFS. Get more disk speed that way.

I don't get it, seems to me like the joke was about a comedian who isnt funny? Its like they made a joke about kramer dropping N-bombs during his routine (which i have heard real comedians do, also southpark). Or am i missing something or too old to understand why in this context its offensive?

id just ask for access credentials. download games, and the customer can change the password later if they want (id always recommend, customer never did probably). back when i was working that kind of gig, handling passwords was pretty normal if the customer wanted you to setup grandma's e-mail. this is no different.

if unraid has a urbackup plugin, I rather liked that for no-fuss backups (free too)

what OS is the server running? If its windows, id just plug the SSD's into the onboard sata ports, run your cloning software, then boot from the new drive to confirm it works before pulling the old ones. if it works, change the boot order in the bios to match the new configuration. As far as a drive mirror, windows has ok software disk mirroring built in. linux has software raid of various flavors.

it almost sounds like you have the fan plugged into a chassis fan header instead of cpu. if you do, thats fine, but you might have to set a more aggressive curve for that port.

for archiving, you cant get much simpler or easy than unraid, if you have mismatched drives, that's probably what i would use. Since its just a backup, a parity drive may not be a requirement, so mix/matching of drives gets a lot simpler. if a disk fails, you can just run a backup again once its replaced/removed.

is it the network or the share server IO performance causing an issue? What kind of network connectivity do you have? If its just IO issues, ask IT to mirror a couple SSD's and put your share on it, if its network, well, upgrading to 10g isnt the cheapest thing in the world, but its a pretty small cost if it makes a difference in productivity.

if the card picked up nothing in Raid mode, perhaps the backplane is missing a power cable(s)?

yeah, anything south of a 4u chassis is going to sound like a rocket engine, just how it is because you have a tiny cpu cooler and low vertical, so high RPM 80mm's get used. I just acquiesced to the wife to replace the 2u opteron rig with an old dell t320 tower. you put slower quieter fans in there you will probably start overheating, but that isnt always the case. It was too damn noisy. happy wife, happy life.
