Hi,

I have a Linux VPS and I'm currently struggling with vim... As soon as I type `:help`, the help page appears. The following shortcut is located there:

"Jump to a subject: Position the cursor on a tag (e.g. bars) and hit CTRL-]"

1.) I haven't seen a keyboard shortcut yet that had a minus sign between the keys. It’s always Ctrl+C, for example. What is the minus sign supposed to indicate?

2.) "Ctrl + closing square" bracket doesn't do anything either. I can jump to the subject by clicking the mouse or by pressing Ctrl + I. This might be due to the keyboard layout, or does "]" actually refer to the letter I?

Hello,

I am looking for a camera for the following task:

-The camera is supposed to take photos at 30-minute intervals (Nature-Time-lapse)
-I need to be able to connect to the camera remotely; it is located in a forest/by a river.
-I need to be able to take photos and videos independently from home.
-We can install a power connection. A solar-based solution is likely out of the question.

A camera with a SIM card, it doesn't need to do much. As cheap as possible, while still handling these tasks. A separate LTE router is tricky, you have to mount everything. An all-in-one solution would be good.

Location: Private property in France, far away from our property.

Hello,

does Hikvision provide any specifications regarding the service life or operational lifespan of PTZ cameras? Is there any information on how often the motor can run per day before signs of wear appear? Any details?
We currently have a camera that experiences issues at a specific point during panning; the image becomes grainy there. I suspect something is worn out or a cable has been flexed too many times—I have no idea what it looks like inside.

Hello,

we have a heated stable. I’d like to install a carbon monoxide detector that sends alerts to an app. That’s all the device needs to do. There are models from "X-Sense", but I don’t understand what is needed for what:

XC0C-SR = Standalone, without app control
XC0C-MR = App control possible, but base station required.
XC0C-iR = I don't know; it doesn't have a networking function?? I can use the app, but I don't need the basis?
XC0C-MR11 with SBS50-BaseStation = That should work, means I need two devices (sensor and base).

As I said, my only goal is to get a notification on my smartphone, even 20 km away, when the sensor triggers. I assume you have to set up an account; the sensor reports to the cloud, and the app notifies me.

What should I buy, and why?

Hallo,

Kollege zieht demnächst um, der Termin ist aber noch nicht ganz fest. Er würde gerne wissen, ob die Telefon`leitung im Haus/Grundstück (zuletzt war da vor 4-5 Jahren DSL geschaltet) nicht irgendwo gekappt wurde.

Auch wenn dort aktuell kein Anschluss geschaltet ist, was funktionieren müsste?

-Router anschließen, DSL müsste ja synchronsieren?
-Die Seite anschlussinfo.de aufrufen.

Wenn hier was kommt ist es ein indikator, dass der Anschluss noch geschaltet ist?

Hi,

we’ve received a funding of a few hundred euros (€200) and are now looking for a projector. We don't need anything fancy; the main goal is simply to project a clear, recognizable image onto a wall (via HDMI). Features like screen sharing would be nice to have, but the priority is just getting a legible display from a laptop.

We’ll mostly be showing PowerPoint presentations, but also the occasional short video. The image needs to be clear and easy to read, and the projector should perform well in changingenvironments or rooms. It also needs to be very easy to operate, as the staff using it changes frequently. €200 is likely too low a budget, but we can chip in some extra money.

Rooms for 10 to 30 people. No halls or similar spaces; standard rooms/offices.

Refurbished units would be fine, too. Does anyone have recommendations for specific models?

Best regards,

Hello,

I’m one of those people who haven’t used an ad blocker on YouTube so far.

Usually, the video would always pause when an ad was played. You could either click through it or not.
RECENTLY: Some mastermind genius came up with the idea that—at least in full-screen mode?—the ad should be displayed to the right of the video; the video shrinks, and the audio is muted while the ad runs. THE VIDEO KEEPS PLAYING THE WHOLE TIME. That means I miss part of the video and have to rewind?

Can someone explain this to me?

Hi,

I’ve been desperately trying for months to connect my DS-2DE2A204IW-DE3 camera to my QNAP TS-233 NAS via SMB. Specifically, I just want to mount a simple network drive on the camera using SMB/CIFS. The permissions are all set up correctly in principle. I’ve even cross-tested this: the same user account I use on my PC—where I have successfully mounted a QNAP network drive via smb—doesn't work with the Hikvision camera. The connection test always fails.

Specific questions:
1.) Can someone tell me exactly which SMB and Subversion versions the DS-2DE2A204IW-DE3 supports?

2.) Are there *any* other settings on the Hikvision camera that might have *anything* to do with the SMB connection? I can't rule out the possibility that I might have disabled some option, causing it not to work.

3.) Is there any option (even via a console) to see why the SMB connection fails during the test? The Hikvision unit doesn't provide any feedback at all.

Greetings

Hi,

I’m absolutely fed up with my DS-2DE2A204IW-DE3/W...
At night, motion detection footage is saved to the QNAP network drive, and I then view it via the camera's web interface. Also a screenshot is also taken every hour.

It works fine, until at some point it just stops working. There is storage space available, and the network connection (LAN) is there. I don't know why it eventually stops working....

At least I think it isn't recording anything. However, I can see that SOME data is still being written to `datadir0` on the NAS. So, I assume the camera has access to the NAS, and the test on the camera itself is also successful.

How can I find out what's going on here?

That was already the second incident. A few months ago, the web interface couldn't access any files at all; everything showed up as non-existent, even though the data was actually there on the NAS. I suspect the Hikvision unit occasionally corrupts its own stupid file format.

Hello,

1.) What setting do I need to change to make the file path visible in the GUI? I simply want to be able to see permanent/directly (without further clicks) which file I have opened.
The recently opened files do not display a file path. I only see the file name in the window, not the storage location.

2.) If LibreOffice is unable to do this, what simple options are there to display the file path of an open file?
What I know:
1.) For recently opened files, I can hover over the name and it shows me the path in a tooltip—but doing that every time is impractical.
2.) You can click "Save As," and it should show the path—but doing that every time is impractical.
3.) File > Properties (impractical)

3.) What is the fastest way to quickly open frequently used files? In Office, you could place an icon—like Excel—on the taskbar and attach specific spreadsheets to it; then, you could open a spreadsheet directly by right-clicking the icon.

Hello,

Normally, the MikroTik can be detected directly via WinBox, or you have to put it onto the ...88.0 network. Although instructions were included, they don't seem to be tailored to the cAP lit. Although I have to say, I’ve only had routers so far and nothing with Wi-Fi AC.

The current behavior is such that when I restart the Cap Lite, the MikroTik appears briefly in WinBox—but with a 0.0.0.0 address. Then it disappears.

I’ve also reset the cAP lite before, following this description.

"Hold this button during boot time until LED light starts flashing, release the button to reset RouterOS configuration (total 5 seconds)."

1.) Press Button
1.1) Edit: Plug in POE/Cable
2.) Wait until the LEDs flash.
3.) Release the button
4.) After that, the OS is reset, but I don't know to what state.

Ironically, the CapLite picked up a DHCP address on my network, and I can ping it. However, it doesn't show up anywhere in winbox., I suspect it's stuck in some sort of mode? Maybe I'm performing the wrong reset.

I can simply assign the IP address 192.168.88.2 to my PC—with or without the gateway 192.168.88.1—and connect it directly or via a switch; WinBox ought to find the devices then, right? That should definitely work.

Hallo,

kennt Jemand ausfährliche Handouts/Vorlagen wie Datenschränke korrekt aufgestellt werden müssen, ohne es jetzt aus irgendwelchen Normen herzuleiten? Einfach Ein Leitfaden für die Praxis? Ich meine damit wirklich die Aufstellung/Aufstellungsort/Aufstellungsumgebung und Kernbestückung.

Problem ist, dass es bei diversen Standorten schon Probleme mit Elektrofimen gab. Die Probleme werden immer erst NACH Fertigstellung bemängel, aber man müsste schon VORHER intervenieren.

D.h., als Kunde wäre es teilweise gut wenn man da auch einen fachlichen Blick drauf werfen könne und Hinweise geben könnte.

Hallo,

irgendwelche assozialen Leute haben letzte Woche vier Verteilerkästen für den Ortsteil komplett schwarz angemalt. Da hängt vmtl. auch mein DSL-Internet dran. Ich weiß nicht was in diese Kästen eingebaut ist, andere Kästen haben definitiv aktive Technik. Das ist ja nicht alles passive Technik.

Jetzt hat Schwarz ja die Eigenschaft Licht zu absorbieren, deshalb sind die Kästen vmtl. auch weiß/grau. Wären die Kästen aus Metall würden diese total glühen, aber auch Plastrik dürfte ja warm werden.

1.) Wo meldet man sowas bei der Telekom? (Hotline kann man vergessen)
2.) Gibt es hier das Risiko, dass (evtl. auch langfristig) durch eine höhere Temperatur irgendwelche Bauteile schaden nehmen könnten und ich mal ohne Internet das stehe? Die alten Leute haben teilweise noch "analoge Telefonanschlüsse". Ich weiß nicht wo diese Wandler sind, ob die auch in den Kästen sind oder dann in den größeren Vermittlungsstellen.

Hello,

I have a Windows 11 Pro (25H2 26200.8655) system with an SSD (Fujitsu Q558), and I’ve increasingly noticed lately that the fans run when the PC is at the Windows lock screen. The PC isn't in sleep mode, but you would normally expect the fans not to run so often since no one is actively using the machine. I suspect something runs particularly often when I'm not at the PC.

I tried tracking something using PerfMon. I might be misinterpreting it, but it looks like something labeled "MsMpEng" is running while the lock screen is active. That would presumably be the "Antimalware Service Executable" (MsMpEng.exe) from Windows? At the very least, the short clip makes it appear that the program could be running at this time.

1.) Opinions?
2.) What is the best way to log the CPU usage of processes while the PC is running?

Hello,

is there anything to watch out for when installing LibreOffice alongside MS Office on Windows 11 where MS Office is to remain the default program, and LibreOffice is used for just two applications that don't really interact with Word documents?

-Deselect file associations during installation.
-In Windows, register LibreOffice as the default only for .odf files. '
-In LibreOffice settings, select the standard OD formats as the save format (this is usually the default anyway).

That’s all there is to it; nothing should go wrong? Any scenario where problems might arise? At most, if you open an .xlsx file in LibreCalc and save it. But that shouldn't happen.

Hallo,

ich würde eine ISO auf CD brennen. Wenn mal was war, habe ich meist CDBurnerXP oder IMGBurn benutzt.

Ich wollte mir jetzt CDBurnerXP über die offizielle Seite runterladen, wobei CDBurnerXP vmtl. nicht mal die beste Option ist. (https://cdburnerxp.se/), aber Error 403. Laut Waybackmaschine war die Seite im April noch da.

Hallo,

ich suche ein Reduzierstück auf HT-Rohr DN40 was aber so geformt und breit ist, dass ich ich in den größeren Durchmesser noch ein DN40 bekommt (siehe Beispielbild).

Bei den normalen Reduzierstücken ist das Reduzierstück nicht mittig sondern seitlich, ich kann kein Rohr im Roh machen.

Mir helfen auch Suchbegroffe o.ä. Wenn es kein Reduziertstück ist auch egal, ich muss nur ein größeres HT-Rohr so wie abgebildet über das Rohr bekommen. Nichts kleben, entweder mit Dichtung oder Schraubbar. Das Ganze soll eine Art Filter für werden, ich muss es also noch gut abstecken könnten.

Hello,

Lenovo claims that Lenovo docking stations (urely depends on the specific model) are generally compatible with laptops from other manufacturers, such as HP, Apple....

Question: Where does compatibility begin, and where does it end?

Lenovo docking stations, for instance, feature a power button. I find it hard to imagine that this would work with models from other manufacturers. Which functions are supported? Which are not? How does one actually know if a laptop is compatible? What about features like WoL? Where might problems arise?

Hello,

in vanilla *Empire: Total War*, I have never actually used Platoon Fire—and, whenever possible, I haven't even researched it. I did this simply based on instinct, as it struck me as being extremely poor. That pisses me off about the game big time.

There are various discussions on the internet regarding whether "Fire by Rank" is superior—often with a clear "winner," but rarely based on actual facts or game mechanics

My decision is based on two reasons:
-With Fire by Rank, firing resumes immediately after reloading. With Platoon Fire, the soldiers reload but wait until it is their turn again. This seems extremely ineffective even if one would still have to factor in the unit animations for Fire By Rank
-When two units clash, Fire by Rank units ensures that all barrels are emptied first. This means that more soldiers on the opposing side are killed—soldiers who are then unable to return fire.

BUT how is this reflected in the game mechanics? Which values ​​are calculated, and how? It also appears that, with "Fire By Rank," the individual ranks possess different accuracy values.

Hi,

i have an old BrightSign Hd1022 media player that was running a BrightAuthor project from an SD card.

In the best case, I would like to extract the image and video files from the SD card. If that’s not possible, is there any way to run the same project on a newer BrightSign player model? t think, both options are not possible anere there is NO way?

There is a "pool" folder present on the card, but everything is probably hashed in some way, or in a special format.

greetings
