shouldn’t need to worry about a windows product key if 10 or 11 was previously activated on the system and no significant changes were made to its internal hardware (like motherboard or nic). activation servers retain activation state and hardware hash, and that state is restored on reinstall. just choose ‘i don’t have a key’ when prompted during install and when windows is back it will automagically reactivate itself.

perhaps it only ‘always’ seems to be that way because you haven’t yet done so…

complete the task so you can change tunes to…

“why tf didn’t i do this sooner?”

the jewish population in the united states is larger than in israel itself. of course the u.s. is going to support them.

the u.s. does not have to go as far as it does wrt military aid, however.

i don’t change the power levels, but i have a couple routers (one at home, one at the office) that i’ve disconnected the (external) antennas to reduce their reach. they’re only needed occasionally, and only in the rooms they’re located in. the signal that’s left is enough.

our ‘price for life’ plan was killed by the telephone company with increases each of the last several months. we’re now at $190 for a basic landline (needed) and pretty slow dsl; nearly double the cost from six months ago. welcome to small town america.

you aren’t losing, either.

drivesavers, gillware, and ontrack. those are the ones i refer people to. expect a cost of $700-1000 or higher.

just a lame-ass excuse for not finding whatever evidence they were looking for.

elsewhere, some seeding was done.

now they’ll do the ‘full’ data grab and ‘find’ what they were looking for.

we always had to go pick up the pizza! pizza!, unless we were goin’ to super-k, which had little caesars inside with a dining area.

it’s a two minute movie. doesn’t even get through the opening titles before autopilot crashes and kills the occupants.

it’s an iptv stb, it doesn’t need much. it’s not designed for subscriber customization or ‘app’ loading.

windows isn’t the problem. it can and will run all day, every day.

your existing box isn’t a server. it’s a desktop pc that you’re doing ‘server things’ on. you want a server, make it one:

move the retro gaming, the ‘shitposting’, the 3d design work, and the random internet use that goes with those things, off to a different pc. doesn’t even need to be that much of a pc. enough for the 3d work and emulators, and a fast lan port or wifi for accessing your ‘server’.

leave the existing one with the *rrs, the storage, the drivepool and snapraid… get everything else off. disable any oc settings you have enabled. it’s a server. then leave it alone.

the antiunion/buy a console instead poster was delta airlines in 2019.

it all runs on Windows 10 (which is where the issue arises)

what ‘issue’? your hardware should ‘officially’ support win11.

the only 6bay lff cage for it i found online after a quick search was over $400usd.

as others mentioned, msa30 is scsi (yuk). along those lines, you’d want the msa60 which is sas/sata, plus somewhere on the server to connect it to. probably not cheap.

but i really don’t think it’s worth putting a whole lot of time or money into a 15 year box… at least not anything that can’t be used in or with newer stuff later.

i’d probably just grab some 2-5tb 2.5in hdd for media storage and use those before i bought something specific for that old hardware.

dl380-g7 is some really old stuff. 1st gen westmere. not very power efficient for the performance. there’s no hardware encoding (qsv with encoding started with some 2nd gen).

how well it can do software encoding would depend on the cpu. but don’t expect too much, and nothing more demanding than h264 avc at reasonable settings. you’d need a newer video card with hardware encoding for hevc, av1 or anything like that.

iirc there was a 6bay 3.5in option for those, and that cage/backplane might be available somewhere.

rare enough and spread out enough (both in time and space) that we may never encounter another ‘intelligent’ civilization, or evidence of one, during our own extremely minuscule window of existence in the grand history of time.

moral? hell ya.

smart? no. cameras. odds of a tesla owner, especially of the ‘truck’, reacting in a calm and rational manner is not low.

After Hispaniola they made a brief slave raid in the Bahamas, capturing 232 Lucayans, and then returned to Spain.[34] src
