Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

Marmugmotleocay · 11-22-2023, 06:24 PM

I picked myself up an early Christmas present to add to my toolbox. It’s a Dewalt XR 20v jigsaw. It came with another bag , charger and ( 2 ) 20v 5ah batteries.

Black Friday Deal. Synology DS923+ NAS with four 4TB drives. $800 (plus tax).

Happy early Black Friday! Just a pair of AirPods Pro 2's for running.

My current NAS is 8TB and a big chunk of that is taken up by all my RAW photo files. This new NAS will be 12TB in RAID5, which should be plenty. I don't plan on adding many more RAW files as I'm not as active with photography these days, so there will be way more data space available for backing up all the devices in the house. Synology has an excellent client app for PC and Macs for doing incremental backups. My iPhone pics even get backed up automagically.

I am completely satisfied with the DS918+ that I purchased early in the COVID lockdown. It runs several Docker containers for network gadgets/services that I used to run on standalone Raspberry Pi computers, plus a VM for my Home Assistant deployment.....

JJ 911SC · 11-23-2023, 05:07 PM

Tired of freezing my toes, I should be good with these.

The DS220+ makes an excellent NVR when you run Surveillance Station. People always complain about the per camera license fee, but a good 8MP (4k) PoE camera runs about $85 and the license is $59, so you're still under the $150+ that crappy USB cameras like the Logitech Circle View or the Eufy stuff cost. And the image quality and 24x7 recording just blows those other systems away. I now have 11 PoE cams on my system.

My Amcrest NVR cost less than a Synology NAS, and has no per-camera license fee. As an added bonus, using Amcrest cameras with their NVR allows for H.265 streams instead of H.264, which uses significantly less bandwidth and disk storage. Plus, nobody in my town will question its capability of getting a murder-2 conviction from the crackhead who burned down our neighbor's house and killed him.....

Surveillance Station also does H.265. I love the software and interface. It's true that an Amcrest NVR can be cheaper, though. But since I have a dedicated NAS for it, I'll stick with it.

Just initial impressions of the Samsung “equivalents” were surprising. Similar pricing and felt WAY cheaper. Flimsy plastics, lighter doors that felt like they were going to snap, etc.

LG has been great in the past. Would have liked Speed Queen for the laundry room, but the invoice was already racking up…

We have LG washer / dryer in our primary residence and Samsung washer / dryer in our vacation condo. Really like the LG washer and Samsung dryer.

Haven't had poached eggs in years, so.....

PS

Guess what I'll be posting in the "What's for dinner thread".

When you spend hours on your feet and want comfortable boots, I took advantage of Black Friday and they added a 20% off coupon for a future purchase.

Our Samsung crapped out and we replaced it with that exact LG you have in your post. Been great so far. Really like the dual ice maker!

I picked this up before Santa could get it yesterday. It’s so much better than using a broom to clean the garage floor.

JJ 911SC · 12-01-2023, 06:12 PM

The last tent (13 x 15) was not big enough.

A 10 x 10 for the chipper and a new toy coming tomorrow...
