  • Step 1. Spend stupid money on a supercar rental

    Step 2. Drive up and down the high street. Getting stuck in standstill traffic is a plus so i can rev my engine next to the ears of the shoppers

    Step 3. Profit??

    Actually nevermind, i never actually do this and walked past a lot of this recently and it makes me wonder

  • Honestly depends on whats being served. As i say people can run servers on enterprise grade multi thousand £ systems or a £50 pi or mini pc.

    Since you have a specific usage in mind, media server, you basically want hardware that will allow optimised performance so you can have a lag/ buffer free experience.

    Say,

    hardware thats good for on the fly encoding/ decoding

    Lots of ram for multitasking.

    Lots of storage to store the media.

    Maybe gigabit network cards for multiuser streaming without bandwidth bottlenecks.

    It really depends on the experience and chokepoints

    ECC ram ill let someone more familiar answer but im leaning towards non critical and nice to have

    Nothing you couldnt upgrade on your typical PC. Just makes life easier...at a cost.

  • Server serves a specific application(s). PC is general day to day usage.

    Both are computers. Pc hardware can be used as a server. Server hardware can be used as a pc.

    Using a computer for day to day tasks - call it a pc. Use it to run a web server application or host a game - that one or more users will access - call it a server

    Hardware can be configured to optimise it for its function. E.g pc can have latest GPUs and "servers" can have multicore cpus and loads of ram, rack mounting form factor and dual power supplies for redundancy.

    But it could also be weak - i have raspberry pi's and old laptops set up as a servers

  • Good on you and props to your parents :)

    I just wanted to chime in that "nazi" isn't technically a swear.

    Sure, calling someone one when they aren't (some willingly people wear the name with pride) can be hurtful, but in the context you've used it I'd say it's OK.

    Just my opinion though

  • I'm in the same boat... have made a model of my house in SH3D and sketchup in the past. Have since tried doing it in freecad but it really is a struggle but im persevering. Hopefully one day it'll just "click" but its a major time sink atm so im putting it off

    CCTV Design Software

    Hello,

    Does anyone know of a FOSS CCTV design software as an alternative to JVSG or CCTVCad?

    Thanks

  • Mid way through installing underfloor insulation. Managed to do some rewiring, adding extra sockets, replace steel water pipes and apply woodworm treatment in the process. Sadly I'm sapped of time and energy so its all slow going

    Replace Galvanised Steel Water Pipe?

    Hello. I have a dilemma. I have the front room of my house currently lifted for floor works and have noticed that the mains water pipe comes in from the front of the house (from the boundary water cock) on about 3m of 15mm copper pipe.

    There is then a joint in this front room that connects it to a 22mm galvanised steel pipe.

    The steel pipe then runs under a supporting wall through the rest of the house to the kitchen, where the internal stopcock is.

    Water pressure is really, really good both downstairs and upstairs and after leaving the house for days or even weeks the water always flows clear, so no signs of rust or blockages.

    Since the house is 1930's built, though i have no idea when the pipes were installed (noting there's already this copper pipe change in place). Is it worth changing this steel pipe now?

    Also is the 15mm incoming pipe okay or should I increase to 22mm? House is on a combi boiler.

    The dilemma is that it would mean tearing up the rest of the floors in the ot

    Serve local IP stream to internet via local webserver/ website

    Hello,

    I've attached a diagram of the setup I'm trying to achieve. Hopefully its clearer than trying to explain it with text...

    Basically I'm trying to stream the camera to a selfhosted webpage.

    The camera is connected to the VPN server

    The stream is picked up on the Media Server (MediaMTX)

    The stream is available from anywhere on the local network via whatever protocol MediaMTX offers. All good here.

    The webserver set up is Nginx. Works fine.

    A basic Wordpress site is set up and I can access it via a domain name over the internet with HTTPS.

    What I'm struggling with is getting the "local stream" (read local IP) in to the website. I have WP plugins that let me embed streams, but I suspect the issue is the local IP is not available over the internet so you cant just point it to 192.X.X.X. Saying that though, even on my local network I cant see the stream.

    So the questions are,

    1. how can I serve the stream to nginx/ wordpress and
    2. can I somehow have nginx treat the stream a

    Gnucash - Unrealised gains in net worth linechart

    Edit: Silly me. Set the price options properly and it already does!

    ===

    Hello, Does anyone here using Gnucash know how I can take unrealised gains in to account on the net worth linechart?

    I know I can manually add an account for unrealised gains and track that way but for assets like stocks that fluctuate over time, id rather not manually enter a price every time.. especially given Gnucash has the data from the price database.

    There are other reports like the advance portfolio which calculate this so is there a way to show this data in the net worth chart?
