I see. It wouldn't be a bad choice if you wanted a small form factor box to consolidate stuff on. If I understand Synology's description correctly it should be 64TB max (4x16TB).

It's auction with bin, so I'll look at it again on Sunday. I might be able to get it for less than $100aud shipped :pwacko:Quote:

The cheaper the better :wacko:.
I missed your post. I have a local ISP. Someone is scheduled to come out next Wednesday. I hope it'll be a senior technician and I can get the issues resolved, the IP issue especially since it limits what I can do with the connection >_<.Quote:

ah I figured you had one of the big guys. are you getting good/decent speed for the price?Quote:

I'll expect the speed issue to be resolved at some point if they want to increase the rate like they said (+$10). It's so-so for the price compared to city offerings, but there's no real competition; it's this, sat., or dial-up (if it's still available).Quote:

Can't seem to find BDrips of V the tv series (1984-85) :(
I have the miniseries (1983) and Final Battle (1984) BDrips, it's just the later tv series that I can't seem to find. Only have DVDrips for that atm...
Dual analog is completely clean and fully functional now :D
Only has 2 very small scuffs at the bottom of each handle, I've gone over them with magic eraser so you can only see them in very bright light if you look really closely.
No nicks or worn print anywhere on this. HTF one this good (over here) for less than $14usd.
:clap:Quote:

Looks like I'll probably have to pay extra for a static IP to be able to PF :low:.
Why do you want a static IP? Isn't a dynamic IP better for security reasons. Been playing around with WSL, its nice to run graphical apps in the Linux subsystem, it works, but its not perfect and you can't really run linux desktops through it, unless you wanna go through a bunch of hoops. But it works at a basic level.Quote:

Pretty much. Prior to this IPs were assigned based on MAC. They're sticking everyone (presumably) behind another NAT now. They do their best to avoid directly answering simple questions or redirecting you to someone that might. It's possible their phone software has a setting for it but "for an additional $5 per month per feature" I'd rather buy a static IP for $10 and let them shove their router DLC somewhere.Quote:

Very. I'll find out tomorrow if I'll be able to resolve things with a static IP. I hope they don't expect people to pay $10 more per month to pointlessly keep an IP that's still double natted.
was playing a game called driftmoon recently I just finished it the other day. it's a mediocre generic point and click rpg it wasn't bad but it was too short and pretty easy maybe a little too easy(that's usually something I don't complain about.
also started playing soldier of fortune the other day I forgot how old the game was and thought the platinum edition was like a remastered edition, it's a decent game not as stealthy as I was expecting though.
kinda want to play splinter cell 1 again since I never did get very far into that game.
Fixed :dancing:. I couldn't get my old IP back but no more double NAT.
Now I can shove their stupid router back in its box and never take it out again :revwacko:.
put a turd in the box and send it back to them :pwacko:Quote:

Power pole and underground line.
Their quote for the pole was along the lines of the other two. There are way too many "might go over/overtime this/doesn't include/etc" in their estimate as well.
The power company has to be present as well so I don't think any of them are likely to be too dumb :shrug:.
You might find the cheaper quotes will end up more expensive anyway. Because reasons.Quote:

I don't know how it works in Aus. but I don't pay for stuff until the job is done and I check in on the work from time to time. I'd certainly rather clean up some trees and shovel down some dirt versus spending another $7k :lol.
Power company doesn't force people to stick to a specific time frame or clean up. They just make sure things are done according to law/legislation.Quote:

Well if you have the time to clean up a mess then there's no reason not to save some money. Many people don't have the time though and pay others. Goes for a lot of things.Quote:

Worse case is they drop trees across a fence or your driveway... similar shit like that. Then you need to use the law to force them to pay for damage. Crap like that can drag out though so I tend to avoid dealing with people that have really low quotes. It always seems suspicious and I can't be bothered with possible headaches that can drag on for years.
For that kind of money you could have it cleaned up for you and still spend less overall. I could understand one, two, maybe three thousand more but not more than double.
I'd like to hope that destroying property would get their license(s) revoked. It'd be pursued if it came to that. I don't automatically go for the cheapest bids, I'm comparing to two others.Quote:
