    Help me decide on a new server this tax season!

    R730 all the way. One of the quietest, power efficient servers and now is just about the time companies are replacing them to pick up cheap :)

    Asus Strix Z390i 9900k compatibility

    I believe you, but how is that possible? 390 chipset was FOR that generation cpu. Wasn't the 9900k part of the "first released" batch of cpus? If it was... that's bad planning on manufacturers part.

    Can i put 2 severs/websites on 1 static ip?

    With only one public IP and needing to serve both websites on the same http port, essentially there needs to be 1 server that outside clients connect to that can redirect the traffic based on the website name they type in called "host header". Either: A) both websites are on the same server and...

    Help me understand the difference between Mesh and normal routers please

    With normal APs, it is up to the client to decide when the signal strength is weak enough to connect to a stronger signal AP. Any network the client has connected to before should be saved as a profile and the OS monitors the signal strength of all APs in reach. You can find a "roaming...

    [Debian 10 / Nextcloud] probably an easy problem...

    Running as root is bad practice but I find sometimes when chaining or piping commands together it's easier to run as root by using "sudo su" and the pasting the command. Make sure you've tested the script as regular user first and made any necessary changes for root user before pasting.

    How to use Net User syntax properly when the login ID is an email address?

    Net user will change local users but you could use powershell to change microsoft "online" users password: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/msonline/set-msoluserpassword?view=azureadps-1.0

    How do you configure Windows to start/stop a service when opening/closing an application?

    For the stop service section of batch, I would suggest running a while loop (with a sleep time) to check the connected status of the virtual NIC the software creates. When it sees the nic disconnected (from stopping the vpn) it would stop the service.

    Windows firewall: allow communication within subnet only

    Yes, just create a rule with just the local subnet in scope BUUUUT why do that when you can just remove the gateway (if the ip is set static)

    2tb+ os/hw support

    I thinking more towards the device/NAS limitation. If a NAS claims support for a 3tb drive, it should have the correct support for ANY large drive

    2tb+ os/hw support

    Am I right in thinking the only limitation for 2tb drives were: A) bios limitation - solved by uefi B) mbr format - solved by gpt So If any device claims support for 3tb+ drives, it should be compatible with ANY large drive for the forseeable future right? Is there some limitation other than...

    RT-AC68U: No internet, suspect sys log, and persistent unauthorized client

    Eth1/2 should be the wireless 2.4/5ghz radios and those entries are wireless clients constantly connecting and disconnecting... either they have poor signal strength or it's the recent Asus firmware bug where wireless clients can somehow connect enough to get dhcp. Not sure the details on the...

    Expanding my IT knowledge (not for professional purposes)

    I would start a free trial at pluralsight.com it is very well laid out and has all up to date material for people at all skill levels. $35 a month for personal is nothing if you're really serious about it. Luckily I get it free through work :)
