    Blue Iris in a VM.

    I believe all of the common hypervisors out there can't do snapshots if hardware is passed through. I am using pass through for a couple of physical disks in my bi vm and can't utilize snapshots. For me this is not a deal breaker as BI is so easy to stand up and get going if the VM blew up or...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    My recommendation is to not try to do any GPU or pci pass through. It limits the hypervisor choices and adds a lot of complexity that isnt needed. You also generally cant do any snapshots of the vms also when using anything pass-through, which is very nice to have for those oh crap moments...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Right by the time you buy something more efficient and calculate it out it might be years before you actually get the $$ back from saved electricity usage. I'm in the same boat. My sans is costing me ~$25-30 a month in electricity, but if I bought bigger drives for my server I could get rid of...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Xeon and power saving can't be used in the same sentence. With HD capacities what they are though a couple of 8 tb drives go a long way for video systems with only a few cameras so off SFF pcs can be a thing. But if you have to buy everything and you already have the server you'd have to...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    They may or may not be. You'd have to read the eula of that manufacturer. There are ways to move the key still to another computer. Or for a small investment and peace of mind you can buy a key. Found some on ebay for under $15...

    Blue Iris in a VM.

    Really depends on how many cameras you have and what your expectationsare. I have 9 cameras running in a w11 vm running on a hyper v server and have no issues. It also does open up some additional options for things like snapshots/checkpoints depending which can be handy for backups/restores...

    Need help choosing a UPS

    The replacement is rbc24 I believe, you'll want to cross reference to be sure if you want an all in one drop in module you'll pay more. If you are willing to replace them as individual batteries you can save some $$...

    Portforwarding with IPV6

    Ah, port forwarding, just dont. You are way better off using a client based VPN for remote access than with the added risk of port forwarding.

    US Elections (& Politics) :)

    Many mauser 98s were "sporterized" after ww1 and ww2 and 30-06 was a caliber that many Americans were familiar with due to its use in the war. Stocks were changed. The 30-06 is very close in specs to the 8mm that many mausers were originally chambered for so it wasn't a huge effort to convert...

    Dude don't port forward bi. Use a VPN service instead. Exposes your bi system to so much less on the internet that way

    Trying SSD on BI

    I am writing my "new" folder to a Samsung ssd. It was pulled out of a soon to be recycled 6 year old when I put it in a year ago. No signs of slowing down either. A quality ssd should be fine for quite a while on a system that doesn't have a ton of cameras.

    Request: Your experience with Win 10 vs. 11 & different versions.

    Never had an issue with either. Running win 11 24h2 in a VM right now. I have always allowed it to auto update windows and again never had an issue. Also check/install updates for BI on a semi weekly basis. I just don't get how some folks have the problems they do...

    UNIFI—The Best Option...?

    The unifi ecosystem is pretty good for what it is. It is far less customizable and not as good of quality of images, but if you want an all in one, network and camera solution they are tough to beat for something you can just drop in and have a reasonable expectation for it to just work.
