Mine is still a @yahoo login but I wont hit 20 years until February.

iDRAC just lets you remote access the device and tweak bios settings or whatever remotely rather than having to use a physical kvm. I know dell and hp have utilities to let you modify bios settings from windows but I’m not sure if that extends to their server platforms as well.

6 min seems about right for an enterprise server, the more you have like a raid card initialization the longer it will be. Since there devices are designed to be run for months or years without rebooting it really doesn’t matter that the reboot takes as long as it does.

Most residential connections in my experience don’t change ips unless you disconnect the modem/router for long enough to lose the DHCP lease from the ISP. I guarantee most people are not going to bother doing that.

Changing your browser fingerprint without also masking your IP with a VPN is kinda pointless. It’s like wearing a disguise but leaving your driver’s license at the scene of the crime.

You should be fine as long as you aren’t trying to play 4k, there is an additional feature where you can disable transcoding as an option in Plex.

I have been trying to replace all my devices that use external power bricks with usb C cables and GAN power adapters. You can get barrel adapters for most things and it lets me clear up a lot of space. Anker and Ugreen have been my picks in the past but they seem to have been increasing their prices considerably and I have had pretty good luck with a company called Baseus.

I use it mostly for remote access to my Windows environment that I can’t run as a VM. I would like to get a cell radio addon for true out of band remote access with one of the IOT type cell plans but I need to do more research on that.

Im still fiddling with my 3d printer to get it working after sitting on a shelf for most of a year because of a move so I can have a nice case for this but I was able to get this setup with these parts for ~$30 in parts not including the Pi and SD card. Setup was a breeze and there is some mouse lag but if you turn on the mouse dot option in TigerVNC then its not noticeable at all.

Also picked up some of these to keep it together until I get a case printed.

It’s moderate at making up npc statblocks if I give it a description and a CR. I do find myself having to tweak the numbers a bit but it’s great for coming up with special abilities or unique spell like effects.

This mostly, I haven’t seen a compelling reason to leave my docker setup.

I’m waiting for the L009UiGS-RM to be back in stock so I can try that out.

I doubt there is a much better solution, the huge rack mounted UPS are just tons of 12v batteries wired together. I would question why your batteries are dieing so frequently, I expect to get 5+ years out of mine with light use.

Been using it as my daily driver for ~2 years now and it’s been great. The arch-keyring needed to be updated first was annoying but I believe they solved that in the last year since I haven’t had any issues with that.

It’s not something I would trust my mother to be able to setup but if you are a regular Linux user then it shouldn’t be too hard for you.

Looks like however the data was being collected it started considering some version of windows to be unknown.
