word, thanks! was just curious.

Nice review! I think I might be getting this case possibly, once I can greenfield my whole server setup. It looks like, if you're not running any long expansion cards (gpu, etc) then there would be room for a thicker rad and push/pull fans in the front? Although I suppose that's going to depend on motherboard size, since dual cpu systems have huge motherboards.

Didn't get to this over the weekend, but still planning for getting to it soon. maybe the next couple of nights, hopefully.

Just curious, what ended up being the issue?

hahaha well, stay tuned for more info saturday/sunday!

I was a pfsense user for many years, and loved it. I ended up giving opnsense a try, and enjoy the gui much more. I felt like some things were a little more intuitive as well. I'll be getting my network back in shape this weekend, opsense is gonna live in a VM on a NUC 11 pro running esxi, so I'll have to post about that once it's up and running.

oh nice! I had considered it for a keyboard, and also for the outside of a case, just haven't decided if I'm going to go that route though.

That plum crazy plastidip looks really awesome! Is that tough to apply?

Is this club still alive, and how does it feel about opnsense?

Wonderful CPU series that was. Heck even the single core ones (I had the 3200+) was pretty awesome. OP, I'll echo the 5700x. What CPU cooler do you have? That's something to consider, since you'll be dealing with a little more heat.

For anyone that wants the server-level sound without the hassle, just grab this!

I wouldn't bother waiting for WiFi 7. It'll be a while until you see end devices with it, and even then, unless you have a really wifi heavy environment, you probably won't see a benefit. 6E should be fine. Essentially, the cost-to-benefit ratio is not great.

I've got a kinesis Freestyle Pro I need to unbox and start using, with MX silent reds. I've also got two of these that need building Had the parts for years, never got a soldering iron

Looks like a nice cooler. I forsee issues with motherboard "armor" however.

yeah, same thing happened on a another forum I'm on as well. lovely.

Interesting. I wonder what they're targeting here, normally for stuff like 192GB you're talking workstation/server, and that should be ECC. Maybe video/photo editing? or Game design?

I wasn't aware, thanks for sharing. Why avoid bitlocker? I don't think it requires tpm at this time. unsure though. I'm more familiar with it on the business side of things. Yeah, I have seen that from GRUB2. I haven't moved to that (I daily *nix on my laptop. When I have one). Linux FTW!

I'm going to catch the next one, as long as we move back into a house. Don't have space to power up the rack where I'm at right now.

Interesting. ok, maybe I'll check out ABP then. RE: Yahoo.. what now?

Word. Were YouTube ads blocked out of the box on that combo?

Agree, except both of those items are generally outside the control of an operating system, in the sense of getting them configured so that the user can actually enter their own password. They're up to the user to configure. If there was an implementation of something akin to bitlocker, where admins can enable a password required to boot and the user can make their own, except apply it to the bios & bootloader, that'd be sweet. Can W10 passwords still be removed that way? I thought that wasn't a thing anymore. Is this where hardware security keys (the removeable ones) enter the chat? Or do those just apply to logging into the computer? If one could configure a hardware key to be required for POST or bootloader access...

Any reason for AdBlockPlus over uBlock origin? I'm on Bitdefender/uBlock Origin/pi-hole. Side note, never got YouTube adblocking to work. ever. Yeah, something akin to GDPR would be a nice start imo. It's about time more people start caring about this stuff, but the people I talk to about it just.. well, don't.

Hahaha that's great. It definitely does have it's benefits, but you just can't bolt it onto everything. Despite what ChatGPT wants us to believe

<tinfoilhat> Sounds like I'll be staying on W10/11 and furthering my progress to moving to linux on the desktop, already full time linux on my laptop </tinfoilhat> I feel like AI is kind of like the new blockchain, or at least experiencing the same phenomena. Why do we have to "AI all the things"? Kind of like we "Blockchained all the things".

At this point, we're past my knowledge of UEFI recovery unfortunately. Did you try the pinhole method from the video above my comment? It might just be worth it to spend the $50 for the replacement motherboard honestly.
