I just went live with CF. A box appeared on a pole on my road about 8 weeks ago, I’ve been checking availability periodically since then but noticed the box was now at the top of the pole and sure enough, Wednesday night I placed an order and they showed up Friday morning to install. Coming...

Well, all together now and I'm super happy with the results. Some slight tweaks were Asus PRIME AP201 because that seemed like a better solution thermally and a worthwhile trade off for a bit of noise, if I was going to go MATX. Also found a Peerless cheap on Amazon. End result seems to be a...

Thanks for the advice. I see my mistake, I was comparing 5600x with 7600. I still think the difference in cost is worthwhile to get something current gen to open up that upgrade path a little. I pulled the trigger with an adjustment to an ATX 3 psu but sadly OCUK was not the cheapest of the...

I embarked in an experiment to try and pair a 3080 with an unused laptop via an egpu enclosure and it was a failure. I posted about it here Anyway, onto the next steps - I want to build a PC that focusses of price : performance over cost or performance alone. I think what that looks like is a...

Yeah, that was a bit of a pointless exercise :D CSGO offers an unstable 150fps Rust 30-50fps with stuttering Headline figures aside, Perhaps it's because I've never had anything but a very good spec pc or some weird latency thing with the gpu but both felt unplayable. Now to sort a PC

Thanks guys, A 3080 popped up close by for £350 so decided to take a gamble on that. Enclosure arrives tomorrow so I’ll report back. If the CPU does become a limiting factor I’ll probably look at building a PC but a laptop would be tempting, would a current gen ultrabook with a 1250u...

I have an old 8th Gen Intel i7 8550u laptop with 16gb RAM and while sat here thinking of building a budget gaming PC, I wondered whether I could achieve better performance for my budget by utilising this unused laptop and spending more on the gpu On impulse, I jumped on eBay and managed to...

You get a lot of W204 for your money! We have an s204 estate that is used as a family runarond, it's an incredible amount of car for the money. I regularly do 4-5 hours solid driving in it and it's by far the most comfortable car I've owned. It just does everything so well, that I can't...

Could you not just run it in a VM on your Unraid server? I currently have it on a Pi but my plan is eventually to move it to a VM on my NAS.

People hate others being successful and love an underdog. Perhaps they've forgotten the moniker "Ferrari International Assistance" - Although, to be fair, Ferrari had far more influence back then than Mercedes ever will. If in 10 years time, Max has won 7 titles and is rarely challenged...

HA in docker is crippled because you lose Supervisor and have to manage a lot of depedencies manually. It's far nicer running HAOS in a VM or baremetal on something like a Pi.

Well, this is where the Now TV F1 package comes in... Do you get full races on F1TV Pro? What commentary do you get?

I can't see it. Mercedes have long been all about equal treatment until the championship is as good as out of reach. They've done it to the deteriment of Lewis' fight against Seb in the past, too. Although, I suppose they have firmly put Bottas in support role a bit earlier this year under more...

There's a lot of talk in here like the only reason for a child to start karting is to end up in F1. Go do some kart sessions with your son, get involved in some local leagues/races - make sure you both enjoy it before start planning a career into single seaters :cry: You can spend £50k+ a year...

I don't understand how any F1 fan can watch something other than the Sky coverage. On the odd race C4 does cover, the coverage is just so weak. Sky is worth every penny, especially if you get one of the NowTV £120-150 season deals they do at the start of each season. I gave in and just bought...

I have a couple of conduits at the back of my house that get ethernet from the Garage to the loft and from the loft over to each of the living rooms. You'd have to be certifiably insane to chase out walls in 4 rooms as well as lifting laminate flooring to achieve the same unless you were...

It's going to be a very empty championship win for Max if Lewis is still injured come the Russian GP. But if anyone is fit enough to get over a neck injury, it's an F1 driver!

I'm late to the party but I love seeing McLaren win again, they've always been by far my favourite team. Although, it's a shame that Danny gets the glory after Norris has been carrying them all year. I'm so glad that Lewis has decided to give Max a taste of his own medicine, although today it...

Blanketweed treatment. I use Aqua Evolution stuff and it clears it up a treat. The only downside is that the pond water turns opaque for a few days if you let it get really bad. I let it get bad and by the time I went to add a second treatment a week later, the water barely changed at all...

yeah, I’ve considered getting the front door painted to match as neither of us like the awful purple it is now :cry: I think it would look good with just the door done but frames/windows still white
