A large arena, including FOH, BOH, maintenance crews, security details, riggers, electricians, etc, etc....

Is going to cost $150k or so.

You are defending the guy. He could pay everyone and it wouldn't have even the slightest impact to his net worth.

Sheeran has enough money to pay all those folks, refund the tickets, and skip any venues owned by shitheads.

There is no reason to cover for this twit.

Fair point and added location in - yes, northeast US.

And the DIY is less daydream and more preference on being repairable. The Treks and such I've seen have all had built in batteries, dealer only servicing, etc - thats just going to end up in a landfill and I hate it.

I'd rather go repair-friendly from the start.

Thanks! Will check it out

I do pretty much all work on all my bikes myself, so if I go the custom build route I'll be fine. That said, I've got a Trek shop, a nice local shop that started in a garage and just opened a storefront (bianchi, basso, cinelli, ventum, etc), my old town shop (salsa, fuji, bulls, batch, surly, etc), so I've got a pretty wide variety of options.

I'm even considering a crap frame to toy with before going to something I'll like more, its kind of all open for consideration at the moment.

Ok, so love the idea here of building up, my only concern with the link is 900 options and not having a damn bit of knowledge of any of the manufacturers, and if I do go out and say pick up a used trek farley, are there better configs here in terms of kit? Problems to avoid by choosing different bars?

I have come across a lot of blogs and what just looks like manufacturer sponsored articles, but not great resources on the DIY options aside from "Well I found this for my bike so its what I did", which can suck a bit to navigate and find what works :)

Bigscreen only just came back around, I wouldn't go too heavy there yet (and I'm testing it out already myself)

Get flex launcher instead. Simple config, does the job.

In terms of specs, there is a lot in your list that can vary, and make those specs jump. Where to start, IMO, would be a 7th gen Intel. If an 11th gen is an option, there and up transcoded av1.

For storage you're going to have to do the math yourself in terms of what you'll have. I have 40tb of media. I used to have a 1tb drive for everything. Storage is how much you want to allocate, nothing more or less.

Ram is similar. Find the worst case game, most overloaded with plugins Minecraft server or whatever, and start there on memory use. JF won't take much, your game choice might.

Silverware would probably be the oldest, my wife's grandmother bought them in the early 1900s as antiques, and then some "modern" accessories that matched, now antiques themselves. They get used on special occasions mostly.

I have a slow cooker thats ~30yrs old, works great.

The DVD/VHS player with FireWire for minidv is also used while I convert old family videos to digital, and my old dv camcorder is now in my daughter's hands to try making movies with her friends.

I'm sure there's more, but thats off the top of my head.

“All user data has been saved and given to the United States government” — alongside an altered banner that read “TRUMPBLOGS.” AstraRCE later offered a mocking congratulations to NoBlogs for its “rebrand.”

Just four minutes after AstraRCE pointed to the screenshot of the hack, DataRepublican’s X account reposted the image, alongside a caption characterizing NoBlogs as a “platform shared by Antifa and far-left Marxists.”

“The State Department designed them as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist group yesterday,” DataRepublican wrote. “And now … they’re TrumpBlogs.”

Be aware that you may need to temporarily use reolink's app to set it up first - turn on the ports, for rtsp/onvif/http(s) then you can trash the app.

I think the HA integration will use the proprietary port/api for setup and you can avoid that way too, but don't quote me on that one, you may want to confirm first.

I'm with you, I don't like having to do the same thing more than once

I set up an "about my repos" repo, which has a readme detailing the process, and explanations of what is where and what they are all for, which is what I point clients to. That also has a link to my personal forgejo to demo local git as well (which can also sync, btw) along with a note that it may be down for various reasons like updates or changes I'm making, which is why I also sync elsewhere.

Depending on what services you're selling to clients, it makes for a neat and simple addition to the list of skills to demo!

And you're kind of making me want to use a mini rack as an excuse to my wife for a 3d printer, but she already knows I'm not getting rid of my 12-15RU racks under my desks, so I'm going to have to wait until we find the property we want so I can build my workshop....
