Was just looking at faster IPs and glad I decided to research. Seems the only ISP that offers 1 gig internet where I am uses CGNAT, apparently that means no port forwarding without a static IP (additional subscription)

rigid oriole Sep 4, 2020, 1:56 AM

Guess I'm holding on to my current ISP then, £5 one off payment for a static IP seems like a steal

#

VPN just dropped for the first time ever, only for a few seconds but I've never ever seen it do that before

wet pilot Sep 4, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

I've never had a static ip but that hasn't ever bothered me

granite crow Sep 4, 2020, 1:58 AM

#

@shotmaker depending on what a static IP costs, you can sort of work around this by connecting outbound through the CGNAT to a low cost VPS (think $5 linode) using ipsec or openvpn.

#

And forwarding ports back over the tunnel to your local hosts.

rigid oriole Sep 4, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

I would've been fine with the lack of a static IP, but this ISP I was thinking of (hyperoptic) say there is no port forwarding with them unless you rent one of their static IPs

wet pilot Sep 4, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

Don't need a static ip as long as the dynamic one is public

granite crow Sep 4, 2020, 2:01 AM

#

And I wouldn't think most CGNAT isps would port forward given the administration overhead.

rigid oriole Sep 4, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

Ah well. No big deal I guess. The speed would've been nice but this ISP has the features I need and is as solid as a rock

#

I guess honestly when you can stream in 4K and do other stuff at the same time with no issues, anything on top of that is just gravy

granite crow Sep 4, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

One other thought would be to ask if they offer public ipv6 addresses.

rigid oriole Sep 4, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

They do, in theory, but it seems the end of their planned rollout by the end of 2019 didn't go as expected 🤷‍♂️

granite crow Sep 4, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

And ipv6 has existed for literally over a decade...... no comment there

rigid oriole Sep 4, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Ha! I know! I guess they can afford to drop the ball on stuff like that (for now) if they're the only game in town when it comes to gigabit

hushed basalt Sep 4, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

hot tubs are like refrigerators. the more bells and whistles you get on it the more crap that goes wrong

clear mirage Sep 4, 2020, 3:47 PM

#

Lol. The main things I want to do are tempature monitoring, and be able to turn the heater on/off and the pump. I would eventually like to add water quality monitoring as well

forest edge Sep 4, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Hot tubs these days have auto setups for handling the pumps. They monitor the temp of the water and also periodically circulate just to keep the chemicals in check. You wouldn't want to try and tackle that manually or even through HA

#

they have winter and summer modes that kick on automatically

#

I doubt it would have an interface for you to even remotely monitor unless it came with something on it's own

#

You will find out cause the very first thing you should do is hunt down replacement parts. Even the more known brands use crap from other companies so they aren't easy to find. Hunt down replacement control board (that will give you better instructions than what comes with it), pumps, vents and some have ozinaators

clear mirage Sep 4, 2020, 3:53 PM

#

I see, well I don't have the tub yet but should be here in a few weeks, but i was reading the manual and the top side panel looks similar to this

#

That thing new is lists for $274

forest edge Sep 4, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

once you get it you will be able to pull some numbers off the main control board that will lead you in the right direction

#

and once you find those parts, save them, save the price where to get them, everything

#

cause in 5 years, google may not be as friendly to you

#

and the seller can't do shit for you

clear mirage Sep 4, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

I see, good to keep that in mind then.

This is where the tub is going, in the top right corner closest to the fence

forest edge Sep 4, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

the side with the panel is more than likely the same side the main control board will be which is located under the panel on the side

#

so when you go to orient that, keep that and it's drain outlet in mind for access

#

usually they are either on the same side, or 90 degree apart

#

pumps are generally located right next or behind the main control as well

#

they are stuipd simple in design and construction

#

once you pull the panel off you'll see the wooden frame is thin and the foam insulation seems to be more structural than the frame lol

internet rc car racing is a game now SonomaGTS, they are called video games

just the motors got a whole lot better

because I could NEVER fly a RC heli without destroying one

now I fly in atti with GPS off

the chars of a helo are so crazy

@forest edge , those are in the 10-20k range

i'm sure they are. the detail and evverything are insane

they had fighter jets, passenger jets lol

And they ALL have an expiration date

steel crag Sep 5, 2020, 2:44 AM

yeah I have a buddy with a 55,000 quad LOL

well octorotor

and yes that's USD$

green inlet Sep 5, 2020, 2:45 AM

The only limits on RC airplanes and quads are money and imagination. I have seen some crazy stuff in RC airplanes.

#

Most fun I ever had was with a delta fixed wing doing combat.

#

Like 4 or 5 small delta fixed wings trying to hit each other’s planes.....errr...streamers

forest edge Sep 5, 2020, 2:48 AM

imagine they attaching like automatic bb guns on those and actualy destroying one another lol

#

there is a contest where people build thier own ships with guns and do just that

green inlet Sep 5, 2020, 2:48 AM

I put a .46 engine on a wing that had a span of about 30”

Clocked it at about 120 mph
