Hi,
Just to clarify, you get 2 Gig download speeds over a RJ45 Gig-E connection?
Is that using a 10Gbps cable or a 2.5Gbps ethernet cable.
You won't be able to get 2 Gig download over a 1G Ethernet cable.
I am asking because you will need to get a device/router with the
correct physical connection
Hi,
I just use HDDs. I make at least 2 copies of everything, and keep an
index of what has been stored on each HDD. So I know what to redo if a
disk fails.
I then integrity check the disks every few years.
After 5 years, I refresh the data. Add a new HDD, and transfer all the
data over to it. This

HI.
Listing what he currently has is very helpful.
As others have said, you could just update the RAM in the laptop to 16GB,
and that would probably be enough.
If you wish to buy a new laptop, I would choose one with 16GB RAM (or more)
and about 512GB NVME SSD (fast disk).
The CPU speed is probabl

When purchasing a new server, the rails are normally a cost extra, but
everyone ticks that option because one always needs rails otherwise it

Hi,
For monitoring stuff around the house, like heating, I have found

It is open source, and you can write your own data collection plugins.
So you should be able to modify your existing data collection programs
to interface to openhab.

Hi,
I joined the Jitsu today from a Linux Ubuntu 20.04.
Using Chrome it cut me off after about 10 seconds, I tried a few times
without any luck.
I then tried with Firefox, and it worked fine. That explains the

It was me trying to get on.

Hi,
I seems they have thought better of it after all.
We still need that 32bit goodness!

Hi,
I have heard that Ubuntu is dropping i386.
Does this mean 32bit programs will stop running. A lot of wine games are
still 32bit so that could be a problem for some.

Tar already has such a feature. A long time ago, it would have needed to

Hi.
Bluetooth has quality of service constraints that would probably break down
over longer distances, or when sent down ethernet. That is probably why you
cannot find bluetooth extenders.
The trick would be to try and extend the cable before it becomes bluetooth.
I.e. long cable -> bluetooth
