    Fibre over LTE router

    Hello, So I'm aware that my LTE router (Huawei B818-263) will work through the WAN for the fibre. My question is whether anyone has used predominantly LTE/4G routers for fibre connections and what the performance is like. All indications are that a 100Mbps should be fine in theory as the...

    Who do you use for your .co.za domain and email?

    Who do you use for your .co.za domain and email?

    Not sure why you'd want a domain with email only when hosting is so cheap? Always struggled to understand that. Could someone please explain?

    CCTV Recommedations

    Forgot to mention, if you go IP, does it support ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum - think of it as some sort of open-source driver). If it does not, skip. A lot of Chinese brands support ONVIF, but not necessarily as well as you might think, even between other Chinese brands. So if...

    CCTV Recommedations

    Happens to be what I do since 2011, that is, recommend surveillance systems to integrators who then go and install for the end-user. It's really not a "take this and be happy" situation. What do you want to monitor? Presumably, your main concerns are at night. Did you know you should adjust...

    How do you feel about SA today? Score 1-10.

    Linux

    I think the last time I used KDE was in 2007. Always preferred Gnome or XFCE. I should actually have a good look at KDE again. Using Mint from time-to-time now with its Cinnamon desktop environment.

    Windows Shortcuts (and browsers)

    Not entirely shortcuts, but I often use the following to open what I need: Win+R and then outlook and enter firefox and enter winword and enter excel and enter control and enter (for control panel) cmd and enter msconfig and enter services.msc and enter

    Your best two consecutive years?

    One of my best years was 2007. The following year was horrible. I'd say 2019-2020 because the missus is pregnant this year and we've been very happy.

    The Share What You Do Thread

    Share what you do for a living, or if you have a website or blog or other odd business, share that. If you don't work, share what you do to keep yourself busy. EDIT: Okay, I'll go first. I have fun with surveillance in a pre-sales capacity and I have my own blog. I am also a father to be.
