If the website starts catching on it's only a matter of time before they find you though. We've got a pretty decent system going where nobody responds to unfriendly comments and they eventually just give up. The saying don't feed the trolls is actually true. I only reply to *h* if he's being a good boy.

Cool, look forward to it live on youtube specifically. I signed up for Spotify and followed it there too though.

Banned cuz Abraham Lincoln didn't say anything about 6" screens, just ignore Pook, he's a big doodoo brain. They didn't have 6" touch screens when Abe walked the earth. He was using a Pentium MMX 233 + 64MB SDRAM w/ SLI Voodoo 2 on a 20" SVGA CRT monitor with a compass and a stock.

Ah had to type my reply twice. Quoted Enterprise and it deleted what I had already typed X_X
- Specs: Old tiny dell optiplex BTX lga 775 rig. Upgraded the pentium to a core 2 duo and bumped it up to 6gb DDR3 1333. Runs well enough for a one man operation. I like the rig because it's so tiny.
- Use : Router and firewall, pfblocker is the best, it's like a grandiose scale pi-hole and takes minutes to set up
- Hosts : 3-5 usually, adding a nas to the mix soon.. might have to bump up to newer hardware when that happens
- Comments: Stupid easy to set up. Seriously, of all the "enterprisey" (edit: how coincidental that I said this then quoted Enterprise...) things I've done for a homelab, pfsense is by far the easiest to get running on a basic level.
Just as a headsup you can use google docs to record your club members and embed here, just another option.I personally have looked into pfense but wondered how complicated it was to setup and maintain ? Unfortunately my time these days is at a premium and while I love the idea of pfense, it would not be something I could dedicate too much time to unfortunately. Does it have a wizard like interface ? Is it relatively easy to navigate ?
Thanks,
E
It's SUPER easy to set up and maintenance is practically nil. I think the only possible variable is if you have a NIC that doesn't get along with pfsense, but even the broadcom crap built into my old dell works fine. Most people will suggest buying Intel NICs for best compatibility. You literally just plug your WAN in into one jack, LAN out into another, install pfsense (can mostly blind spam enter), tell it which port is for what (LAN or WAN), and you're done.. It will do everything else automatically. If you don't want multiple LANs and IP ranges, it's not something you even have to worry about. It's as complex as you need it to be IMO. The only change I made for mine was a default range in the 192.168.2.xxx range since another part of the house is on 192.168.1.xxx through another router.
Navigation is as easy as the router you're already used to, just go into a browser on any of the pcs connected to it and put in the IP. All I did after getting mine running was install the pfblocker plugin (using said web interface), then google searched for up to date lists of known IPs to block, pasted them in and that was that.. the rig just sits in the corner of the room doing its thing with no monitor or keyboard hooked up.
In short, few hours at best of tinkering and then you can forget it for a long period of time. It's been months since I've touched mine.

I hate you but in this particular instance you were right. Suddenly over the past month a huge tank in GPU prices hit. Last time I checked ebay a power color v64 in the box with stock cooler and a block would get you ~$350 back. Now the miners are selling hardcore.
Reminds me of when I wanted to sell my insanely expensive 7950GT to get an 8000 series card only to find it was worth $0.69 on ebay.
Guy on anot[H]er forum has a 980Ti ACX like mine for sale for $130. Tempted to grab that and SLI but eh.... stutter.

what are the odds that I was literally just setting up f@h on my second PC and in need of the team number and my passkey, but saw this in my email first and checked to see your quote, and there's the team number I needed lawl.
One more event on the Vega 64 for me I guess since buyer ran away.
