    Can an i3 be sufficient?

    Check out the WIKI at top of forum (Choosing Hardware for Blue Iris) . In the "F" series CPU, I believe they disabled the GPU circuitry, so you would need an external video card. Comparing my BI I5-9500 system with the i3-12100F, the i3 is slightly better so it shouldn't be an issue, even...

    The BBQ thread

    I've never done a brisket myself, used to eat at Bodacious BBQ in Glen Rose TX when I visited the Comanche Peak NP, back 20 years ago. I stayed in a cheap hotel near it and the smell drove me crazy. Was great chopped up, with a nice portion of fat included, juicy :), screw the sides, just got...

    What's your NAS setup like?

    I have an old HP Proliant MicroServer N54L using Open Media Vault (OMV). It has 4 10TB drives in a RAID 5 config. I only turn it on to perform backups, which is about 5 times a year. I back up my Plex storage, linux and windows workstation data.

    Busy Night/morning

    I've seen lizards around my backyard deck in NC. They are green when coming from the lawn, then eventually camo with the wood/brick. Haven't seen that many in the last couple years, but when they do show up in numbers, the racer and rat snakes show up too.

    How do you start node-red as a service in Windows for LPR

    In general on making an executable run as a service, Microsoft used to have a utility that I used in the past (srvany or something like that). There are other third-party programs, like nssm, that are open source program. Check out: https://www.helpmegeek.com/run-applications-as-windows-service/

    Ahhh, Spring has sprung..

    Per the "Spring has sprung...", the same feral cats come to mate around my house, spray, mate and make a ruckus at end of March. Always hoping for rain to help wash the smell away!

    Any "old tech" gurus recognize this?

    Are you talking about IEEE-488/HP-IB cables? Dealt with them on stringing scopes, analyzers, etc. and later HP-UX workstations to tape drives, hard drives, etc. My first home OS was CP/M, running on a home-built z80 system with two 5.25 floppy drives.

    Any "old tech" gurus recognize this?

    Worked as a Software Test Engineer, using GenRad 1797 functional testers and 2270 in-circuit testers that contained PDPs. We created programs (pushing 1's and 0's around) to test out circuit boards. We had a paper writer/reader that was used for backup and also fixed-removable disks. It...

    I believe I read that house insurers are asking for a 42% increase to the NC Insurance Commission. Normally they ask for like 20%, but end up getting 7-10%. Our county just re-assessed our properties, going up about 20%. I think they do a blanket % on all properties, send out the notices...

    One other thing that should be on the list is produce seeds, fertilizers, etc. so you can grow some veggies, etc. One guy I get a kick out of his YT videos is J Bravo. He moved out of CA to TX, bought a bunch of farm land, having a pond put in with fish, building a couple houses and out...

    Like in 2007/8, just before it crashes, you have many of the talking heads telling you hurry up and get in before it sky rockets :). They want your help to push it up as much as possible so they can get out first. For taxable stuff, Capital One, Discover and even AMEX have high rate CDs...

    I expected a stock market downturn and recession by 2023, moved to more conservative investments, waiting to jump partially back in. I think they are trying to push it off till after the election from some reason!

    Congrats! All I heard from my brother is that he should've done it sooner. I found out he was right! No stress, no deadlines to meet, no weekly boring meetings, etc. I get calls from my former co-workers a couple times a month and a quarterly visit to help them out, especially after the...
