Cheers, HA integration is on the plan for the future, I just strugle with time these days with a small kid and work.

I wish I could.
Need to newer FW to use the drying function of the AMS2.

I’m considering going back to LAN and just dealing with it though. I really prefer Orca over Studio

Heroic has treated me very well so far!
Shadow of War runs like a dream after some tinkering

I did this, but experienced a lot of issues connecting to it afterwards. Constant disconnects and it taking several minutes after opening Orca/Studio to find it.

Any advice, as I’d like to go back to LAN Mode?

Cheers

That was amazing! Love that he was a fan of the opposite team too!

Thank you, mate!

I was considering running it switched with remote power, but the nerd in me wanted to cut wires, solder and “automate”, it that makes sense.

I guess I will regret it the next time I need to do some work with my head inside the chamber hehe.

What do you mean by all Euro languges having a shared Latin and Greek origin?

I’m no expert/linguist, but I thought Germanic, Slavic, Romance (Latin) and Uralic were completely separate branches of the Indo-European language tree, having very little to do with eachother.

Cheers

Agree.

Saw S2 but the magic was just not there. Never saw anything after.

I read all the comments to see if I could tack on somewhere, but it seems I’m the only one who prefers spring…

Winter is long, dark and cold here, so spring is like a magical season where actual daylight returns, snow melts revealing another colour than white and dirty snow and temps allow you not to dress up with three layers every time you leave the house.

Yeah same.

NAS is running with everything I downloaded, seeding 24/7. I started back up about a year ago and my ratio passed 10 before Christmas. I did not download a single thing I didn’t want, but I try to stick to movies big enough to be freelech and downloaded seasons instead of single episodes, again as they are freeleech.

Fun fact for those strugling: my top 10 ratio seeds are all freelech and has netted a total of 2,6 TB. Not a single one of those files are newer than 3 years old.

It’s hard in the beginning, but stick to freeleech and keep building ratio, and before you know it you won’t have to think about it anymore.

I think “shower before you start stinking” is a decent rule to live by

Comprehensive write up. Thanks for this!

The main reason I went for it now was that the panel has been out a few years and the price is more in line with what I’d like to spend. I’m guessing this new tech will be quite costly to begin with?
The early adopter tax thankfully no longer gives me a high, but I will read up on these and maybe they will be relevant next time around.
Seems like interesting tech, for sure!

I have been dreaming of dabling with Arch, but I just don’t feel ready for it, if that makes sense?
With kids, work and life getting in the way, I just don’t have the hours to tinker with stuff like I used to.

Maybe in a few years when they are older.

I have set up a few headless homeservers with Debian. Hopefully that experience will help then

I have that too, but being a dad limits my gaming time so much that I reckon the monitor is obsolete, technology wise, by the time it becomes an issue.

Time will tell I guess

Goof clips with mates are the best!

Your reasoning makes sense. Thanks again!

Yeah I have a few extra SSD’s in the system, so maybe I’ll give dual booting a crack later on.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Order placed. Cheers mate

Appreciate the input mate. The overwhelming response here was so positive that I just bit the bullet and ordered it.

Life’s to short to have 11 year old monitors, ey?

Guess I’m just “worried” the upgrade in color accuracy and response time won’t be enough to warrant the purchase, but you all seem encouraging so I’m leaning towards upgrading. Cheers !

Short and sweet, awesome mate. I appreciate your advice!
