@bad-frog oh for fuck sake google...

Fabricate a plate that attaches to the top two holes in the stand with holes for the monitor and countersunk screws accounting for the difference in height? Prolly what I’d do. That or change the monitor layout in software and just go with it...

Have been using DasKeyboard 4 Pro for... I dunno at least 5 years probably longer every day at work and another at home (side note they are both home now for the last 3 years since I got early access to the “new normal” of Working from home)

Both have been super solid. Good mechanical will last a long time. I have others too, vortex Race3 for travel, I built a Phantom because... why not, beware mechs and key caps will drain your bank acct if you go too far down that rabbit hole...

@netikras I’ve got a similar setup on my i3, but how did you specify certain browser session for monitoring and another for browsing or do you just set it up manually for the monitoring one?

Damn I though I was doing good when I convinced the bosses to upgrade my old Precision M6800 (which I had to upgrade processor to i7 since it came with the same i5 as in my personal surface pro 2... and 32gb ram and an SSD myself back in 2015 to make better) to a new Precision with a 6 core i7... 64 cores... I wouldn’t know what to do with myself.

@QuanticoCEO

I don’t think I could trade my working from home at this point (was doing it before COVID too) but I can certainly see why you chose the commute.

That drive is about what it would take me to get to Austin from where I live. I’m rural too but not nearly that nice!

@hashedram but your cube is right next to the restroom therefore your workplace is constantly covered with said shitty managers

Fishing...

I guess technically I am compressing during transmission but not to a tarball. The files are decompressed on the other end. Oh and I said I’m doing it all at 23:00, I actually only do movies every... Sunday I think. Whatever it says there in the cron entry.

How I did it... may not be the best way, but it syncs the delta of the stuff daily at 23:00 then only once a month it goes out and runs the "clean" which basically says if it got delete over here on the "main" side go ahead and delete it on the backup side. I didn't wanna run that daily in case I realized I deleted something I didn't mean to I could recover it unless the stars aligned just wrong...

The movie is the exact same as the tv just a different directory.

Nice

Can see about documenting it. Using unraid for my stuff now. Just boxes I built from the bones of previous desktops and stuff and tossed in a rack mount case! Can you rsync to gdrive?

I can’t lie, I consistently use “Internet Exploder” and “Windoze”

Not really any others...

My media server backup (using rsync) runs quick (at least after the initial 36+ hour copy) but I’m not compressing, just copying the delta off to another... well another NAS in this case, but could be another drive, pc shared drive, or whatever. Also have this run by cron but it’s just a basic shell script that first checks if the nfs share is available, if not attempts to mount it (just in case some weird restart of machines caused one to be down and not mounted) then rsync the delta of my media directory. I have TV shows run daily at 02:00, movies weekly, and music weekly

I know far too many people that have power cycled their machine because they couldn’t get out of vim... blows my mind

I used to think it had potential if I needed a change of job. It has just become another social media platform full of the same trash as facebrick, Twitter, and the rest. If it was still only professional related and didn’t involve every dipshit’s opinion on the “cause du jour” it might hold value but it’s likely beyond repair at this point.
