why dont they just pay for unlimited?
even here in germany you get unlimited for 30€ a month

Because murica
Our corporate overlords decided that we should have the least possible package with the local company that has an agreement with T-Mobile which is the contract holder worldwide
And we don't need 5g either

And a 10GB package is $30 each
$30 package here is 3GB

old ranges were really a PITA to remember (10.150.86.XXX), so i went with the ranges provided by the new router, (192.168.1.XXX). far easier to remember.
hardest part was somehow the Proxmox install was setup with static IP, and would not connect to the new range, for clear reasons. so i had to go in and change it to DHCP, with reservations provided by the router.

client side gets assigned an address, you don't use your local address inside a vpn
balmy bough
i currently don't use a VPN, as i don't do much remote work on my network... other than connecting to HA from the internet (reverse proxy)
forest edge
a vpn would have to be setup specifically using the traditional 192.168 network range in order for there to be an issue and considering most I ever used like openvpn dosen't default to that to begin with, the person setting up the vpn would have to intentionally go out of their way to fubar the whole thing up knowing the clients are used that locally

that person had set that vpn to that address and then ran into conflicts then changed it to compensate. i think the average joe isn't going to run into that kind of issue

The worst measuring tool I've ever used is this one roll tape measure that instead of having readings like 120cm has readings for 1m, then 10cm after that and then 1cm intervals after that. So you have to look at the 1 meter mark, then the 10cm mark and then finally the 1cm mark to know where you're at. I've had my measurements off by either 10cm or 1m so many times it's insane

solar zealot

for stuff that needs to keep running or that just does so, using ssds feel much better both on power consumption and on durability

8W peak, sustained or average? 🤔

those were probably reading or writing numbers. While idle they use very little I think

Spec sheet for the 870s I have here says some milliwatt idle, I think around 1.8 typical and 4W peak
orchid rose
I looked at some options yesterday, but I can't quickly find the one that was up to 8W. Samsung 970 Evo Plus is specced 6W avg while writing for the 1TB model
distant junco
Most likely during heavy writes and such. Samsung's 990 pro states this, for example
AVERAGE POWER CONSUMPTION
(SYSTEM LEVEL)3)
1TB: Average 5.4 W Maximum 7.8 W (Burst mode)
2TB: Average 5.5 W Maximum 8.5 W (Burst mode)
POWER CONSUMPTION (IDLE)3)
1TB: Max. 50 mW
2TB: Max. 55 mW
POWER CONSUMPTION (DEVICE SLEEP)
1TB: Max. 5 mW
2TB: Max. 5 mW
6W avg is quite something. Though I suspect that's while it's hitting the SLC level cache and shuffling things to load balance 🤔
orchid rose
These drives are getting pretty fast so the sustained writes wouldn't last too long before the whole drive is full unless you're doing something very silly
glacial knot
For pretty much every consumer drive they only last until you fill a smaller cache either way
orchid rose
Right
The 990 Pro can still keep writing speeds of 1400MB/s after the cache is full so that side is getting better as well it seems

I have a external sandisk pro and that thing gets 🔥 almost instant.

UUID is defined by an RFC/is generally what Linux uses, GUID is defined by Microsoft and is generally what Windows uses.
They're both essentially identical though
clear ferry
Almost
While GUIDs (as used by Microsoft) and UUIDs (as defined by RFC4122) look similar and serve similar purposes, there are subtle-but-occasionally-important differences. Specifically, some Microsoft GUID docs allow GUIDs to contain any hex digit in any position, while RFC4122 requires certain values for the version and variant fields. Also, GUIDs should be all-upper case, whereas UUIDs should be "output as lower case characters and are case insensitive on input". This can lead to incompatibilities between code libraries.
I still have ptsd from recovering guid used for booting on itanium

Your backups should be on another machine, yes.

Anything I care about
Your backups should be on at least two different machines from the local copy
Cloud storage is cheap

i do abuse my two nas for such stuff
but not sure if its a splendid idea to set up pbs as a vm there
prisma briar
I run pbs as a vm on a proxmox box, I have a secondary pfSense and DNS server on the same box too.
I like having the backup pfSense box so I can keep everyone's internet up if I ever need to work on my main server.

guess i need to buy more memory and figure out a network share for storage to make this work nicely
prisma briar
I can restore to so many snapshots.
Lol, that's only like three weeks in that screenshot.
Fun, my power went out again.
And apparently I don't have my amp on a UPS because my music cut out
solar zealot
u guys have power outages?

u guys have power outages?
once every 5-10 years due to maintenance with a notification in the mail a week prior
prisma briar
Like 4 times a year, one of which is generally a couple hours
It was only out for maybe 45s today
Just long enough to reset all the clocks
I have around 8000VA of UPS though so power outages mostly just annoy me because I can't run my aircon.
I have at least some lighting in all rooms on a battery

i just have a standby generator...
and a UPS for my server rack (with now one server)
prisma briar
My plan is to use my car as a generator to charge UPSes if it ever gets to it.
solar zealot
i feel like those ups are fairly dangerous
prisma briar
Been using them for decades, never had any issues.
I've worked on some scary big ones at work too
solar zealot
always feels like they gonan explode and burn the whole house down
prisma briar
The ones where if you short the contacts with a wrench it'll weld to the contacts
solar zealot
the workplace ones kinda feel not amazon™️ quality
prisma briar
idk, I've never even noticed one getting hot.

most UPS have lead AGM batteries
prisma briar
The only issues I've ever had with them were related to diminished capacity due to age

yuck

are you charging that car battery? 😮
finite atlas
i'm discharging the car battery
solar zealot

finite atlas
one of the 14 packs was not charged as much as the others, so i gave it a quick charge

why is it so hard to find where the fiberoptics go into the house. The most obvious spot I cant find anything. Its no network laid in this house when it was build. it was a cheapstake that bought this house an put ONE electric plug in each room, and one network outlet in the living room in a weird place

Hello @inner ferry . Quick question about how to manage threads on the community forum. I want to manage my thread about a custom component I'm developping. But I see there is a max of three consecutive answers for the same user. Which is a shame, because if I want to post updates, but not remove the history, I can't. How is the best way to handle that ?

That's a global setting, sadly, so we can't just change it for you
That said, Google found me:
Did the user create the topic in the first place? If it is their topic, they have the right to reply as many times as they like.

Also, you can edit the first couple of posts.
For three months, at least.
Then you can ask the admins what to do about your monster size thread (or what passes for one at the time) and somehow be made a forum moderator in a desperate lack of options or something…
… I’ve heard…

is that what happened to Tinkerer? 🤔
