What are you running all those drives from? I think you may have mentioned 2x 8 port HBA? How do you manage the heat? I have 2 unraid servers but I cant post them now, yours just blew them out of the water.

Yes, that's a snakehead! Im not knocking you or disagreeing with you - there was a post on fb building group just this week where westerners were suggesting rodents can get into the conduit .. like they must be David Copperfield if they can squeeze through those little holes at the snakehead to munch away on your cable, surely there are some better things to eat.

Backblaze is a backup solution .. it's not a cloud service as you say. You can encrypt your backblaze backups so I assume it's not being mined. the storage is cheap, but afaik, when you want to retrieve the data, you pay. I have run Time Machine on my Mac since I could afford a big enough HDD, I think I have rolled back once in that time. So it may be worthwhile, but depends upon your usage. There is only one reason google and the others mentioned in your screenshot are cheap, they farm your data to make money. What do you want? If you want control over your data, have you thought of next cloud on a VPS? I think TB's of data is a lot for Nextcloud, but I dont have that much stored on my server, just copies of marriage certificates, passport, along with text notes that I need to sync across multiple devices.

idk, its no big thing is it. I will ask the electrician if I ever have the misfortune to see him again. He was one of the "Changs" that came twice to site to give a price, moaned about everything, didn't agree with what I wanted to do, talked the talk, and then when it came to the job couldn't do it - he decided that because he was on price, that it was ok to just vanish at 2.00 pm to go and squeeze in another job, leaving his tec-college kids to finish the job. After all the lectures about safety and not using blue pipe, etc this is what he left me with .. he was another one who didn't get an invite to the next days party. You say 16 years ago, was hdpe pipe readily available in Thailand then? even now people think its expensive and "dangerous" or troublesome (the mice will get into the pipe and eat the cable!) to bury cables, which its not.

Idk mate. Maybe the standard Thai tradesman might come in the future to dig up the cables and put a break in the water pipe. I have done like you, run my water alongside the electric - It wasn’t easy to get done, the suggestion from the contractor was he didn’t think it was safe to run water and electric in the same trench .. ? Wt? You think the if there is a water pipe breaks the electric will jump from a double insulated subterranean cable and a one piece 50mm pipe, as used by PEA and kill everyone? They come up with these myths all the time. You didn’t mention where you used the pipe and it doesn’t matter either way - but like a good tradesman can save you cash, hdpe is as cheap as chips, comes in a 50m roll, way cheaper than blue pipe, no breaks and better if resistance. Im glad I found out, saved me a fortune running cctv / data / control / spurs all over the place.

Really? Even my electrician doesn’t do this - “no no no” was his reply. blue for everything - yellow is for electric inside the house, don’t use yellow in UV it will fall apart within 5 years, apparently (I didn’t know and painted it, instead) grey is cheaper and for agricultural purposes, although some builders / contractors will use it for electrical for its price, but you are limited on the fittings. Black hdpe is used for irrigation and sheathing of power under the ground. White vinyl is good, deteriorates slowly but is quite expensive. @OneMoreFarang don’t buy tiger, it’s really not good pipe, when you cut the smaller diameters with shears it doesn’t cut properly, it bends and tears and you end up with a deformed pipe. As it ages, (I used for my temporary water supply line to site - it snakes above and below ground) it goes really brittle and just shatters. My plumber and electrician won’t use anything but scg, especially below ground or in / entering concrete. 13.5 is for all underground, although we went for 8,5 for our land drains - 8.5 is fine where there is no external pressure. You made a good move using green PE, I wish I had done this. You can get green PE with colour coded stripes. There isn’t any PVC primer available here and you should buy decent glue, I was modifying a temporary pvc pipe at the weekend and a glued connection just fell apart - another reason why you should never let your contractor purchase materials. Scg glue costs, Thais don’t generally buy it because it’s more expensive, there are two grades of glue, Thai and Chinese - Chinese being the worst, I didn’t know how bad until last week. When using a decent glue, it doesn’t work out much more expensive to use green PE and way more secure. I have come across so many cowboys building my house, it’s heartbreaking - however, my electrician, plumber are great, I spend all day with them and they explain and educate me - my local builders merchant is a diamond, her English is perfect, her staff all talk to me in Thai that I understand, she questions every purchase and advises me asking the purpose of the product and where I can buy the cheaper option (scg is always grade a) another reason not to buy from the big name diy stores.

I wonder how long it will take to implement? Maybe the same time as the "Big Bike License" that was approved but never implemented, maybe at the same time as the digital wallet. After tax is paid, will we get to enter national parks at regular prices?

The furthest reach of Khon Kaen province would be an hour and a bit away from either UT or KKC, which is not for me. We have one small town near us, but not much else apart the builders yard. I am not a lover of going into town, central, chain restaurants and the like, I prefer to go to Makro at 7.00 am before the rest of the world, breakfast at McD’s and home by 9.30.

Idk, have never seen any places like that. Like someone else says, cheap rentals are available, but not so much high priced rentals.

It’s marginally faster not that I am concerned about this. I found the router in bridge mode gets rather hot and people say that the router may need turning off and on from time to time, the ONU is pretty solid. For me it’s aesthetics, no horrid boxes with unnecessary antennae to hide, just a little white box inside my network cab. When there is a network problem, the ONU is never the weakest link, it’s plug and play, no settings to check. I like UniFi kit, but I don’t think I would go to the trouble of upgrading to a UDM pro, troubleshooting when it doesn’t work, and trying to explain to 3BB what you want to do and trying to get some assistance.

This is true, the mango season is rather short and we have 3 mature mango trees, they produce a lot, so does everyone else, resulting in so many mangos that everyone is sick of them and can’t give them away. Lemons are good, you can extract the juice and freeze it down to make lemon drizzle cake. Rice, I think we paid about 400B for 30kg, we take that to the mill, they mill for free and keep the broken rice. After a couple of years, people just gave us rice, we have maybe 15kg of unmilled sitting there now. We now live in issan where sharing food amongst your friends is normal. It doesn’t help much because it’s always a bit too local, but she can munch on boiled fish gills to her hearts contnent - the problem is she has to reciprocate, we lived in the south for so long that she’s a competent cook, I do wonder if a bowl of chicken mussaman is a fair exchange for a bowl of steamed bamboo shoots, but I let her get on with it.

I use a 3BB ONU to my USG, dispensing of the bridged router, it's good enough for me.

Also think about value for money and quality of life linked to general peace and quiet. Rental in BKK - 5000B for a two bed/living room/kitchen and bathroom on the balcony shoebox. Was OK for a while. Rental in Hat Yai - 5000B for a two bed townhouse, new build, was great, nice neighbors until for the last 6 years - a loan shark and his gang, who walked in and stole the wifes bag, then after they moved on a gang of yabba dealers partying all night, guns were drawn outside the house with a rival gang, then a tobacco smuggling ring whose deliveries would show up all times of the night. Life in a Khon Kaen village - Rent 5500B temporary rental while we build - 200m sq house in 1 rai of land, neighbor who isn't there most of the time, vegetable plot and hydroponic salad greenhouses makes enough to pay the rent in the cold season, far enough from the temple and headman's speaker system. We never saw the need for a truck until we moved out here, but it was a good purchase, the wife made the downpayment with her buisness savings and makes it work enough to pay the installments, I pay 2500B/month for petrol. We don't need to go into town so much but we make our own indian food, pizza, bacon, muffins and crumpets. Mango trees in the garden. Rice is pretty much free, multiple people give us 10kg as a gifts, which is free to mill, We cook burgers. Japanese curry / dishes, Pasta and salad at least once a week - We keep Guinea fowl and spend time hunting down the eggs. KKC is only 20 mins away. If its the right place for you, then its the right place - Saying that, I couldn't live more than 15-20km from town - the guys that live out on the borders of Udon are brave, I wouldn't want to waste an afternoon doing the Makro run.

I use infuse on the Apple TV, it has the same feature as you mention with VLC - I already have Thai as my main subtitle, and English as secondary. It just searches opensubtitles and adds them to the menu as you are playing. Automatic subtitles make life so easy.

nickserv is an IRC command. IRC is internet relay chat - although there are some modern day benefits, there aren't many uses for IRC these days. If you need to use IRC then you know about IRC, its clunky and cumbersome. Every time I need to use it, I have to relearn the commands and often I mess up and get banned from the server - its a decentralized chat, servers are hosted on an organizations server and the chat logs are kept by the organization. It's good for anonymity, unless the server is compromised. It's used by tin foil hat nerds, digital pirates and probably kiddie fiddlers, people who have something to hide. https://wiki.mozilla.org/IRC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat Thunderbird also has XMPP. I remember using this back in the day, I think ICQ, yahoo, Windows live, google talk all use XMPP. Anyone else use IRC? for what?

They have had a shake up down there recently, there would be a post in the fb groups if there was any major changes, sounds like you caught someone on a bad day. I live in Khon Kaen and have a non-o based on marriage, currently on my second, and I did my last after they changed the staff out. Every application in the two offices I have used required a bank statement on the day of application. Maybe you upset them from the start. Never a new photo on the TM7 application form, I did 20x a few years ago and that will be enough for 10 years, unless I lose them again. Certainly not photos with the wife in, she's not applying for the visa. Never been asked for my wifes bank statement or a yellow house book. 4x photos is sufficient (one infront of the house number, one infront of front door, one in kitchen, one on sofa) I have seen some people posing with their wedding certificate which I find ridiculous. They did ask my wife for some small things - the first house page of the rental shouldn't be signed by the owner, just the page with the owners name - that needed to be whitened out and copied again, I always supply them with a copy of every stamped page of my passport as fb posts have suggested they may need them, its easier to just scan, keep in on file and print them at home than argue and walk to the copy machine. I am not doubting your post, but it's really strange - I used to use Hat Yai and they are nightmares, you would expect to write off a full day, with a couple of extra documents from the landlord and an 20 questions interrogation from an immigration officer. I thought KKC was really good, down at the bank at 8.00 am, immigration by 10:00, back home before 12:00. The whole thing is (was) a formality, pass them the papers, oblige them with a couple of visits to the copy machine and smile, I don't need to open my mouth, send the wife up the stairs in a month to pick up the stamp.

I am slowly setting up an automated garden irrigation system in my new build, so far, even though the house isn't finished I have a "drip" sprinkler under a planted hedge and want to setup a sprinkler system before I lay the lawn but already I can see that there is not enough water pressure and I will need to put a pump somewhere in the build. Could anyone point me in the direction of a good / reliable / cheap pump - Are on demand or constant pressure pumps available here? I saw a small 1KW pump which looks like it could do the job, not too sure where to place it in the system, there are solenoid valves and power supplied to every zone, along with smart relays, so I could in effect set up an automation to switch the pump on at the same time of opening a valve or write a flow to to check if the pump is running before releasing the solenoid. I would love to see some other small / DIY setups.

I believe SCCE have / were advertising a course and are able to offer a year visa. 087 631 7880

Yeah, that’s pretty standard wondershare MO, loads of processes running, some difficult to remove. I am not really familiar with home video encoding, however, from what I can see, you will notice a difference - if you were reencoding a tv broadcast, either 720 or 1080 to 720 then you would be looking at a bitrate of around 3500kbps. For a 1080 encode you wouldn’t encode less than 5000kbps, you need to adjust the slider to a higher number, to give a bitrate of 5,000-10,000kbps. Yes, social media rencodes look pretty horrid, streaming platforms host their own files - is that what you mean? Does your camera have manual setting? Whereby you adjust the aperture and frame rate rather than using preset. I used filmic pro on my iPhone in the past and it gave me this flexibility. I’m not much of a videographer, but if you are looking for realistic output, I think you would go for 30 frames, 24 for a cinematic feel, if you were shooting to use the footage for slow-mo, then you shoot at high frame rates, 60 or 120, right? Are you using a professional editing suite yet? Adobe Premiere? I use Final Cut Pro on a Mac, and it has decent output presets, that would encode on export.

I was recommended Hierro a Spanish-French production from 2019, set in the Canaries, it reminds me of Plastic Sea, a whodunnit - one initial suspect, who it will probably turn out to be innocent, multiple characters who could all be suspects, cool scenery. All write ups on imdb are positive. Just started series one. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8337662/reviews?ref_=tt_urv

Yes, it’s malware, these apps used to load out your inbox but I there is more money to be made by silently collecting your data these days. With regard to your quality, in the video tab, what have you set the bit rate slider to? Or are you using abr? What target bitrate do the tutorials suggest? If you are noticing a drop in quality, it may be down to this setting. Another app you should use in conjunction with handbrake is mediainfo, you can check the bitrate and other facts and refer to them if you notice any issues, also get the info of your successes for future reference. Have you tried setting chapter markers or editing a 30 second clip and then encoding one chapter or the short clip and experimenting. Saves a lot of time.

Rich for the day, until that 500B is spent.

I think this means it hasn’t got onboard graphics or graphics integrated into the CPU, so if you remove and sell the graphics card as suggested, you will need to replace it with something.

I don’t know enough about graphics cards, I always buy onboard, but the 1050ti seems to be purchased for 3K now. Hardly worth removing and selling. The mobo is 1500B new. I don’t think it’s worth 10K, is it?
