Just overvolt waiting

rough zinc
#

With enough voltage your temps will drop so low

atomic mist

So low

mortal grail

You won’t even be able to see the temps on screen

Overvolt it

if anything the 7700k should be retro

atomic mist
rough zinc
#

I should be retro with these backpains

atomic mist

#

oh

#

so you can do it with all linux then

atomic mist
fresh timber
idle nexus
#

lol those things are $.92 at Home Depot. How is that profitable?

rough zinc
#

They're dirt cheap to make

#

Literally just some plastic and some metal sheets

frigid stag
#

I used to have the knob ones kekw

rough zinc
#

You could DIY them

frigid stag
fresh timber
#

Fsr scaling

atomic mist
#

Should Overvolt your diy light switches

idle nexus
#

lol you could but for $.92 ehh

rough zinc
#

Can i overvolt my will to lice?

hoary zodiac
atomic mist
idle nexus
#

you can still get rotary dimmers

#

but don't use them on LEDs

#

you should get LED rated dimmer for LEDs

sinful blade
# frigid stag Adjustable lighting

I wish I had those
My apartment is “not allowed to have custom lighting replacements, fixtures, or switches that were not put in by apartment staff.”

rough zinc
#

Rotary dimmers sucked

sinful blade
idle nexus
#

or you could get humming &/or flickering

atomic mist
#

Pog humming and flickering?

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

That sucks

atomic mist
#

My haunted house is gunna be sick this year

sinful blade
#

I kind of live in a higher end apartment

#

Usually old people around

idle nexus
#

I mean

rough zinc
#

I still gotta replace all these ballasts with bypass bulbs in these fixtures, ive been putting this off for way too long SAD

idle nexus
#

can they really take your security deposit for improving the place?

frigid stag
sinful blade
frigid stag
#

They were probably halogen or something

sinful blade
#

We had an incident involving rent and we’re on a pretty tight rope with them

idle nexus
#

like forget all that complicated nonsense ballast 15 wire crap

#

heckin diagram

#

like nope

#

hot neutral ez

rough zinc
#

I love seeing the outcome of it so much but when you got like 50 of them to do, it sucks so bad

idle nexus
#

oh ya nvm that's too much

#

but when you turn them all on it the first time feels like real life RTX on

atomic mist

#

Downside of living in a church SAD

frigid stag
#

Bro is a priest

dusk knot
#

Interesting

rough zinc
#

Nah, my frat's house is a church

idle nexus
#

lol well you might as well change them cuz even tho you can get the ballasts fairly easily, T8 & T12 bulbs keep getting more expensive

#

it's almost like they don't want you installing glass balloons full of mercury anymore

frigid stag
rough zinc
#

For a normal price at least

#

My frat lmao

dusk knot
#

48 inch

mortal grail
#

I'm back what did I miss

rough zinc
#

Yeah we've been using T12s but the ballasts are rated for T8s so they get used up a lot faster

idle nexus
#

T12 prices are willld

mortal grail
#

$14

#

Wth is this fancy lower class lighting

idle nexus
#

10 years ago $15 would probably get you like a 12 pack lol

rough zinc
mortal grail
#

I just discovered a new phone feature

#

Falling in love with the xperia again I have discovered I have a shortcut for my multi window layouts

dusk knot
idle nexus
#

that's not so bad ig then

mortal grail
#

No more messing with apps I can now press one button and it's amazing

idle nexus
#

btw I saw this thing I meant to do on Win11...

mortal grail
#

I am xperia converted again

idle nexus
#

it's like so stupid that I wondered if it works

dusk knot
#

Damn. No one cares about Lowe’s

#

L

rough zinc
#

Each bypass bulb is around $40 but they should last for a while being LED

dusk knot
#

Yep. I work in the Lowe’s electrical department. I would know

idle nexus
rough zinc
idle nexus
#

can it be this easy to kill telemetry? lol

rough zinc
idle nexus
#

how did I never notice this horrible service

mortal grail
#

I've had that since like my 2012 iphone lol

#

Picture in picture

#

But now I have a shortcut

#

I can press one button and it does all of it

rough zinc
#

Yeah thatsbwhat it is lol

#

Never knew it was a thing

#

Not even on iPhone

mortal grail
#

Yea it's so useful

#

It's been on android a while

rough zinc
#

Discord widgetttttt

mortal grail
#

I've used it since high school lol

rough zinc
#

I don't know what I'll use it for yet but it's still cool

mortal grail
#

It used to be harder to run

rough zinc
#

Wait nope i know

#

24/7 tinder swiping now

mortal grail
#

Like the feature was always there but the phones would really be going ham using it

rough zinc
#

I can swipe through my insta reels and tinder at the same time, it's beautiful

mortal grail
#

Nowadays they can really get away with it

mortal grail
#

Thanks android

rough zinc
#

Nah i ain't lonely lol

#

Tinder is just a fun hot or not game

mortal grail
#

Insta is just brain rot tho

idle nexus
#

is it really this easy to stop telemetry?

rough zinc
#

Not my reels KEKW

#

My feed is beautiful

mortal grail
rough zinc
mortal grail
#

Ain't no way

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

just ad dword (32-bit)

rough zinc
#

Ain't no damn way

idle nexus
#

that's what dude in this video is claiming lol

idle nexus
#

look

#

Before

cedar compass
frigid stag
#

The answer is windows 7

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

I wonder if server 2022 is any decent

fresh timber
#

telementry? whats that

frigid stag
#

Ye idk how to do that kekw

idle nexus
frigid stag
#

Too advanced

rough zinc
#

the answer is buy a better cpu

fresh timber
idle nexus
#

I did do this tho

hoary zodiac
#

I probably should setup a proxmox vm to run a pi hole

frigid stag
#

Do I need a server for that

#

Or is it like on the same pc

idle nexus
#

and this

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

you don't have to

#

not unless you use windows

frigid stag
#

I do use windows

hoary zodiac
#

which you probably do

frigid stag
#

Ye win 10

hoary zodiac
#

windows running under a vm could be a pain so

#

I'd just get a separate machine

frigid stag
#

I probably should reinstall. I think this install broke kekw

hoary zodiac
#

you can get a mini pc for pretty cheap

hoary zodiac
frigid stag
#

I think I have a (working hopefully) old pc I can use

#

It’s been about 2 years kekw

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

y'all have way better luck with microsoft than me

frigid stag
#

But I either got a virus or windows just went haywire

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

my windows installs always break within a year

fresh timber
#

ok this is sick

frigid stag
#

Microsoft edge just keeps opening pop ups of itself

hoary zodiac
#

at this point I'm so fed up I haven't touched windows for months

fresh timber
#

lmfao

frigid stag
#

To the point where it opens so many that my pc crashes

#

Cause out of ram I guess?

fresh timber
#

i want to swap my desktop to linux but those 4 games i have tht dont like linux mad

hoary zodiac
#

it shouldn't

frigid stag
#

I mean it opens hundreds if I don’t keep spamming it to close it

hoary zodiac
#

ok there is something seriously wrong with your system

frigid stag
#

And I checked task manager and antimalwareservice.exe is on high priority kekw

hoary zodiac
frigid stag
#

Maybe edge is the virus after all

hoary zodiac
#

I just went screw it and swapped over

misty sparrow
#

I couldn’t use Linux

hoary zodiac
#

they ask money for windows btw

idle nexus
#

Edge you gotta like

hoary zodiac
#

I wouldn't pay for that broken pile of crap spyware called windows 11

idle nexus
#

turn those first two things off

#

I hate that crap

#

ya open Edge at startup & keep running background stuff

atomic mist
#

Of course we all have paid for all of our legally acquired windows keys KEKNervous

idle nexus
#

THANKS

frigid stag
#

Ye I have 0 start up processes kekw

#

Except rivatuner

idle nexus
#

that background crap is the worst

frigid stag
#

But that’s not in the windows settings

hoary zodiac
#

I think some stuff still sneaks past the windows startup settings

fresh timber
#

lol terraria runs with w2 thread

idle nexus
#

I feel like keeping windows privacy, power, & background crap settings is a fight that never ends

frigid stag
#

I can’t even uninstall edge cause the uninstall button is greyed out

hoary zodiac
#

yeah

fresh timber
#

u can force it tho kek

hoary zodiac
#

I had to reinstall every couple months

frigid stag
#

I tried in regedit

hoary zodiac
#

just to get the bloatware out

frigid stag
#

Nothing xD

fresh timber
#

hate bloat? go linux

hoary zodiac
#

the windows updates kills the install over time

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
idle nexus
#

24H2 ISO has bitlocker & hypervisor enforced code integrity on by default

#

so much CRAP

hoary zodiac
#

windows 11 is like manjaro

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

janky as hell

idle nexus
#

ya I like Edge

hoary zodiac
#

and full of updates people didn't ask for (that also breaks the system)

idle nexus
#

I'd rather use Edge than feed the Google data collection pig

mortal grail
#

Google gone off the deep end with data

#

Edge new best friend

hoary zodiac
#

I use librewolf with duckduckgo

sweet phoenix
#

i cannot stand edge

#

like

hoary zodiac
#

not even microsoft gets my data

mortal grail
#

Duckduckgo is nice

fresh timber
#

google?

#

i love blocking google

sweet phoenix
#

i consider edge as bad as apple OS

idle nexus
#

is there a Chromium for Windows? I always forget to look lol

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

there is

idle nexus
#

whenever I use ubuntu I use Chromium

hoary zodiac
#

you can get chromium builds

#

for windows

fresh timber
#

you guys use adblock built into your browser?

idle nexus
#

Edge is just nice cuz it syncs on devices & crap but meh

#

I use ublockorigin

hoary zodiac
#

librewolf has ublockorigin built in

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

i only use ublock for youtube kek

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

also tip

#

always install the binary builds

mortal grail
#

I am considering pihole later

hoary zodiac
#

don't compile the browser every single time

#

takes forever

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

I'm running this command everytime Windows installs an update from now on

Check Status:

Dism /Online /Get-Featureinfo /Featurename:Recall

mortal grail
#

And it's a nightmare

hoary zodiac
fresh timber
#

recall

hoary zodiac
#

what's the windows one again

#

winget?

#

it's nice they have an actual package manager on windows now

mortal grail
#

Don't need extra bloat

idle nexus
#

lol save this for when things inevitably get terrible:

Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:Recall

hoary zodiac
#

?

#

it's built in

mortal grail
#

Oh no I'm not doing cmd prompt

#

Let me just google it

#

Lol

idle nexus
#

NTLite

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

ok

#

here's my sales pitch

idle nexus
#

lol probably ya

hoary zodiac
#

sudo pacman -S firefox

#

one line

idle nexus
#

heckin Microsoft

hoary zodiac
#

that's all you need to do

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

iv been firefox for 3 years

mortal grail
#

What about any other app

hoary zodiac
#

ok

#

with arch specifically

#

you have the aur

mortal grail
#

The aur ok

idle nexus
#

oh if you ever need to install local account & bypassnro doesn't work, there's a workaround

hoary zodiac
#

so for example if you use yay

mortal grail
#

What's the aur

hoary zodiac
#

yay -S [package name]

mortal grail
#

Yay?

hoary zodiac
mortal grail
#

Yay

mortal grail
idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

yay is a pacman frontend that allows you to get aur packages as well as regular pacman packages

frigid stag
hoary zodiac
#

any package in the aur

#

for example

#

librewolf

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

yay -S librewolf

#

boom

mortal grail
#

So

hoary zodiac
#

basically most packages available for arch linux

mortal grail
#

If I need something more obscure

hoary zodiac
#

you can just install with one line

idle nexus
#

I'm gonna attempt to make a reg key for that disable telemetry thing

nocturne flicker
#

Pacman joined USPS, he's got packages for you

mortal grail
#

I google

#

Lol

idle nexus
#

I've done this before... I can handle this okay

mortal grail
#

I could just google the exe every time

#

Guru3d got meh

hoary zodiac
#

yeah but

#

that's multiple steps

idle nexus
hoary zodiac
#

you have to open up your web browser, google the exe, go to the download page, download the exe, install the exe

#

the package manager does it all for you

mortal grail
#

It's multiple steps if it's not in the repo ANGERYCAT

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

stuff that's not in the repo are usually really obscure github packages

idle nexus
mortal grail
#

Also you need to know the right name for it

#

I'd be impressed if it wasn't specific

idle nexus
mortal grail
#

Like I type libre and it gets librewolf

#

But specific commands are exactly the biggest gripe I have with linux lol

hoary zodiac
#

you can do yay -s libre

#

that searches for any package with libre

idle nexus
#

oh ya I used to hate that when I'd try to do like

sudo apt install [name but I dunno the numbers]

& it would be like NOPE

mortal grail
#

Ok but it doesn't filter right

#

You're able to filter or no

fresh timber
#

do yall also use usbc to ethernet adapters for ur handhelds

idle nexus
#

my disable HDCP reg key doesn't work universally cuz the name of the GPU in regedit changes

hoary zodiac
#

well I mean

#

you can search the repo

idle nexus
#

I have a ROG Ally rn but it's my nephew's

hoary zodiac
#

but even then you cut out multiple steps

mortal grail
idle nexus
#

I just reinstalled windows & updated UEFI cuz he locked himself out of it somehow

hoary zodiac
#

and another benefit

hoary zodiac
#

one command to update all your packages

idle nexus
#

sudo apt-get update?

#

I forget lol

#

I suck at Linux

hoary zodiac
#

depends on distro

#

I don't really like the debian package manager

#

It's pretty annoying

mortal grail
fresh timber
mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

and also

#

guess what

#

you get to update whenever you want

#

and you can select packages to ignore

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

i love linux

mortal grail
#

My main point is byo

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

Yes

fresh timber
#

ew

mortal grail
#

I use my own for main service

fresh timber
#

im sorry for you

velvet summit
mortal grail
#

Eh?

#

Why

#

My isp router has crap sqm

fresh timber
#

wireless backhauls are just ew

#

ethernet bro

hoary zodiac
mortal grail
#

I have ethernet

#

It's dual wan

hoary zodiac
#

not against apt specifically

velvet summit
#

oh

fresh timber
#

ur using a wireless backhaul but its wired?

mortal grail
#

Lad backhaul is a fallback

#

Lol

fresh timber
#

oooo so u use wireless if ur main fails

mortal grail
#

Yes

fresh timber
#

smart

mortal grail
#

I have fiber

fresh timber
#

oo

mortal grail
#

I use a proper router

#

Lol

fresh timber
#

whats your other isp?

mortal grail
#

Same isp

fresh timber
#

so you have two fiber lines or something

mortal grail
#

I just put my own router in the middle

#

No

fresh timber
#

o

mortal grail
#

1 fiber

fresh timber
#

so whast the wireless backual for

#

im confused

velvet summit
mortal grail
#

In case the fiber goes out

fresh timber
#

what does it connect to?

mortal grail
#

Which it hasn't yet but handy to have

hoary zodiac
#

I mean

#

fiber is pretty volatile

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

construction worker from across the street accidentally digs too far?

#

oops

fresh timber
#

yeah but if it goes out.. what are u connecting to for wifi

mortal grail
#

My fiber to wan, mobile backhaul to lan

#

But lan port is wan set

#

So dual wan

hoary zodiac
#

that's not the worst part

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

the worst part is replacing the whole thing

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

ooooo

#

so u plug ur phone into it

mortal grail
#

If mobile also goes out well ig the country is on fire

fresh timber
#

and now u got net again

mortal grail
#

Noooo

#

Close

#

LOL

fresh timber
#

im so confused

mortal grail
#

The isp modem is the mobile

#

You were so close

fresh timber
#

iv never see this setup in all my life of lerking in homelab server

mortal grail
#

It sits there with a mobile connection

velvet summit
mortal grail
#

Maybe I should draw this lmao

fresh timber
#

yes

#

please

hoary zodiac
#

true but like

velvet summit
#

this is why there's the site surveys before any work gets done

hoary zodiac
#

with how brittle fiber optic is

fresh timber
#

its glass kek sounds brittle asf

hoary zodiac
#

they're a lot more annoying to replace

#

so you'd likely be out for longer

fresh timber
#

coax, so;lder the two ends back toghter and it prob works kek

idle nexus
fresh timber
#

im too lazy to fix that

hoary zodiac
#

oh my god I haven't updated my packages in weeks

fresh timber
#

your prob fine

#

i havent updated my proxmox in months

hoary zodiac
#

well I mean

#

that's not a rolling release tho

#

speaking of proxmox

#

I have a very stupid idea

#

of making a really janky network setup

#

basically my minipc is going to connect to the shared wifi network

mortal grail
#

Omg I drew it all up and it turned to 144p garbage

#

Ffs warpedemote

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

route it through proxmox into a pfSense vm

fresh timber
#

your setup is better than mines kek

#

woudlnt a mini pc with dual ports make a good pf sense machine

hoary zodiac
#

well

#

problem is

#

I have one with a single port

#

I could hook it up to a switch tbh

#

then into my wireless ap

#

it's gonna be jank but

#

shared wifi shenanigans

fresh timber
#

be smart and have a single port work as wan and lan and connect too switch

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder tho

fresh timber
#

tbh if ur smart and hate ur self enough you probbb could get that working

hoary zodiac
#

if I could get rid of the wireless access point by just using the proxmox machine as the access point itself

fresh timber
#

i mean if u plug a wifi adapter into it yeah

hoary zodiac
#

I'd have 2 wifi adapters then

#

the built in one

#

and one for AP

#

Not sure if proxmox likes me passing through hardware network adapters tho

#

I tried passing my network adapter through kvm on my laptop

#

it was not particularly a fan

fresh timber
#

i passed one through to a ubuntu vm

#

i just needed the bluetooth kek

hoary zodiac
#

does the host lose access to it?

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

yeah figured

#

so I'd need 2 adapters at least

fresh timber
#

if your using containers it might still get access

hoary zodiac
#

which shouldn't be an issue

#

I think for anything within the minipc I could use virtual network adapter to pass the network connection through to the other vms

#

for physical ones I should be fine too

#

I got a usb wifi adapter with an antenna

#

that'd be the AP one

fresh timber
#

are u fine with like.. weak aps

hoary zodiac
#

weak range?

#

range shouldn't be an issue

#

it's a small studio apartment

fresh timber
#

range, speeds, etc

hoary zodiac
#

well

#

hmm

fresh timber
#

your range might be fine, but your speeds 💀

hoary zodiac
#

I could probably route the traffic to my switch

#

through my ethernet port

fresh timber
#

yall got weird setups kek

hoary zodiac
#

or I'd have a dedicated AP

#

but I'm not sure if that's gonna be the bottleneck

hoary zodiac
#

so when I move I don't have to pack as much fragile equipment

fresh timber
#

how about you jsut get a router with an ap built in and call it a day kek

hoary zodiac
#

firewall tho?

fresh timber
#

yall got very intresting setups

mortal grail
#

God that took forever

#

Ok you ready lmao

fresh timber
#

now u can cofnigure how u like

storm narwhal
#

What the hell

hoary zodiac
#

ah

mortal grail
#

Make sense now

#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

openwrt works on any router?

fresh timber
#

u can check

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

well... any is a big ask but

#

that's a really good tip

#

thanks mate

mortal grail
#

SQM firmware does a ton

#

Esp. for us boeing

hoary zodiac
#

I got a crappy asus router

mortal grail
#

I use merlin and cake

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

that'd honestly simplify my setup by a lot

fresh timber
#

but my my asus router in ap mode supports it but you have to like ssh into the damn thign and do some nerd nerd stuffi didnt feel like doing

mortal grail
#

Vex does it make sense now what I'm doing on my net lol

fresh timber
#

my netgear, it didnt really care, just put the firmware file into the updater and it accepted it

fresh timber
#

im oding alot rn kek

mortal grail
#

LOL

#

All good

hoary zodiac
#

ok

fresh timber
#

so you have dual wan, mobile 5g router and your parents router

hoary zodiac
#

turns out openvrt has support for my router

mortal grail
#

No these are all mine

hoary zodiac
#

not merlin tho

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

Ye

fresh timber
#

it has two wans going into it

mortal grail
#

Ye

fresh timber
#

and then it goes to a wifi 5 ap, then some mesh units

hoary zodiac
#

so it runs on linux?

mortal grail
#

Ye

fresh timber
#

so besides wireless backhaul being 🤮 90% of the time its good

mortal grail
#

Oh yeah backhauling is ass

#

But like

#

I have something

#

Lol

fresh timber
#

i want to put a wireless backhaul in my dads house kek theirs like a weird spot where if i move 5 feet in one direction i loose the connection, but move back and it works kek

mortal grail
#

They gave me a wireless fallback so I'll utilise it

fresh timber
#

putting backhaul in the location with internet would be peak for the weird spots with out net

mortal grail
#

Yeah that's exactly what I did

#

It's in the dead spot of the house

hoary zodiac
#

the question is

mortal grail
#

So I get good signal everywhere

#

9ms unloaded, 11 loaded everywhere

#

Cake is really nice when it works well

hoary zodiac
#

my minipc only has one ethernet port

#

should I hook it up to a switch

#

or hook it up to the router directly

fresh timber
# mortal grail It's in the dead spot of the house

yeah, my dad only gets 50/10 so i coudlnt care if its a good mesh or not, i just wanna scroll tiktok in that one room and not have to go on data kek if i move into my dads house im going to pay for xfinity to come pout and give me like 500/20 kek

mortal grail
#

Exactly

fresh timber
#

then guess what, dual wan for me kek

mortal grail
#

I've tried it btw

#

It's meh 5g but works well enough

#

You can kinda game on it LOL

fresh timber
#

good enough

mortal grail
#

It's a little touchy

fresh timber
#

better than no internet

mortal grail
#

But yeah I went to town on my net lmao

fresh timber
#

my net is simple, i have a diagram

mortal grail
#

I have 2 nighthawk level ones for gaming to ethernet, then mainly wifi 5 for the rest with streaming

#

The mesh latency is 2ms everywhere

fresh timber
#

my wifi is being wonky asf rn wtf kek

mortal grail
#

Moca adapters?

fresh timber
#

yup

#

i tested it, they can handel about 800mbps

mortal grail
#

Sorry networking is not my strongest suit despite my home setup lmao

mortal grail
#

What are mocas

#

Ohhhh

fresh timber
#

they take the existing coax lines, like the ones some isps use, and route internet packets through them

mortal grail
#

So the modem router combo is the wall port?

fresh timber
#

you put a moca at the router, and a moca at the room you want intenet in

storm narwhal
#

Oh yeah no I see

hoary zodiac
#

ohhhh

storm narwhal
#

You're just using coaxial then lol

mortal grail
#

I get it yeah

hoary zodiac
#

so if you already have coax in the house

mortal grail
#

I should revise my diagram, I have a fiber modem that the parent router connects to

hoary zodiac
#

you don't have to tear down the walls to route networking cables through it

fresh timber
#

using one cable for wan and lan is fun

mortal grail
#

Oh so it's like bridging?

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

Does that make sense

#

Damn

#

Lol

fresh timber
#

my router supported it so i didnt have to buy two adapters for it kek

hoary zodiac
#

Do we have any networking people in this server

mortal grail
#

We have a couple

mortal grail
#

343 would likely know

fresh timber
#

theirs a reason i did it

#

my mom didnt want a cable through the house kek

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

it can mesh

#

if i put a moca adpter in another room, they all share the gigabit link

mortal grail
#

Wireless ye?

fresh timber
#

so if room a and b have moca, if room a uses gigabit then room b gets choked out too

mortal grail
#

Ohhh I get it

#

It's like a dedicated wireless

#

Yes?

fresh timber
#

then room c is connected to the router providing net to room a and b

fresh timber
#

im so tired i cant spell kek

mortal grail
#

You're ok

#

Hold on let me go google a bit

#

Lol

fresh timber
#

This is fun

mortal grail
#

Oh wait

#

They all connect with coax

fresh timber
#

yes

mortal grail
#

And the coax exists

#

So you plug into that

fresh timber
#

yes

mortal grail
#

And they all take from the parent router

#

Got it

fresh timber
#

i plug into the coax port in my wall, the xfinity box plugs into the coax port into the wall

mortal grail
#

Right I'm all the way there now LOL

fresh timber
#

i plug ethernet up to each if nessary, and boom it works

#

in my instance, sense the coax is what gives xfinity internet, i dont need to run a cable to the adapter sense its built into the modem router thingy

mortal grail
#

Yep I completely understand now

fresh timber
#

very good tech

#

it can go up to 10gbps, but nobody is making 10gig adapters 😦

mortal grail
#

I should really take a look at my old switches

#

I have really cheap netgear ones just for consoles

fresh timber
#

*nobody makes them 😦

hoary zodiac
#

can I have one

mortal grail
#

The ones that don't need much

fresh timber
#

my setup is funny in my room

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

i have a switch connected to my moca, that gives me internet to my bed, cause i want ethernet at my bed for 0 reason, then it has a cable going to my ap/switch setup for my consoles and pc kek

mortal grail
#

I think my fastest ports are 2.5 but my net is (supposed to be) gigabit so

fresh timber
#

downside, if im routing between bed and ap/switch rip the other devices talking to the internet

mortal grail
#

Lol

#

Yeah that's my only real downside I can think of on my own

fresh timber
#

i limit my self to 500mbps for that ;/

mortal grail
#

I haven't worked out bandwidth limits on my devices yet

#

Cake is supposed to manage that tho I think

#

Nothing goes down if I do a big download

#

So not really sure

fresh timber
#

i have a wire at my setup for my handheld i plugin so i can not.. choke my uplink to xfinity

mortal grail
#

Maybe that's what I need to do

#

Set bandwidth caps on my devices

fresh timber
#

u gotta design ur network good, or just overkill your unplinkss kek

mortal grail
#

Oh yeah I learnt that the hard way LOL

fresh timber
#

i might ugprade my gear to 2.5gig so my gigabit handheld cant make my other gigabit devices notice

#

i ❤️ cat6a

mortal grail
#

Funny you mention that

#

I have a messed up cable set

#

My ethernets were basically advertised as scams at the time I bought them

#

"Cat 7/8" kekw

#

But they do gigabit which is good enough

fresh timber
#

two flex minis please ❤️

mortal grail
#

And over 10m+ so I'm chilling

fresh timber
#

cat 7 doesnt exist btw kek

#

cat 8 does

mortal grail
#

I know

#

But at the time they claimed it

#

I bought thinking I was smart, nope

fresh timber
#

but nobody makes 40gbase-t

mortal grail
#

This was like 5 years ago btw

#

I'm much smarter now

hoary zodiac
fresh timber
#

reminder than im mostlikley younger than you

mortal grail
#

But none of the cables have failed me, nor failed the gigabit test so I'm good lol

#

They also didn't cost some stupid price

hoary zodiac
#

I think these days each generation gets smarter

#

well

fresh timber
hoary zodiac
#

some of each generation gets smarter

fresh timber
#

dont complment this generation

hoary zodiac
#

the rest gets dumber

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

the kids at my school think im stupid. i remind my self deep down that their morrons

hoary zodiac
#

wait

hoary zodiac
#

how old are you

fresh timber
#

18 kek

#

how old ru

hoary zodiac
#

18

fresh timber
#

o

#

why i think u was like 35+

mortal grail
#

I'm the old dude

gentle canyon
#

you youngins

mortal grail
#

Lmao

gentle canyon
#

im 19

hoary zodiac
#

I talk like a boomer

#

probably because I watch too much 90s sci fi

fresh timber
mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

I have a list of banned words

#

none of which are swear words

fresh timber
#

im so confused on why steam is downloading at 140mbps when i clearly can do more, my link speed is at 1.2gb kek and mf is right next to the damn ap

hoary zodiac
#

instead

hoary zodiac
#

it's "skibidi toilet, rizz, ohio..." you get the picture

fresh timber
#

no i just checked on my pc

mortal grail
#

Weird

fresh timber
#

im doing 590/20 kek

mortal grail
#

Oh what it could be

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

Maybe the server is slow

fresh timber
#

mhh ur right

mortal grail
#

Like their speed is 150

#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

the feeling of someone being mad at me for saying the c word is better than the cringe of saying "skibidi"

fresh timber
#

steam glitchin

mortal grail
#

Ye

mortal grail
#

LOL

fresh timber
storm narwhal
#

Its coming from Microsoft servers smh

mortal grail
#

Anyway Vex that diagram is only half the story btw

fresh timber
fresh timber
mortal grail
#

I have dedicated gaming on my wifi 6 nodes

#

My ap for smart home

storm narwhal
#

Their servers in general are awful lmao

mortal grail
#

Wifi 5 nodes for streaming

fresh timber
#

do all your aps mesh properly?

mortal grail
#

Yes

#

Wait

fresh timber
#

coolll

mortal grail
#

No

hoary zodiac
#

flight sim takes forever to download

storm narwhal
#

Especially if you play halo infinite at a higher skill level and you're not in the US

hoary zodiac
#

even with good internet

mortal grail
#

My AP's are separated intentionally

fresh timber
#

dont worry my ap and xfinity box dont mesh

mortal grail
#

My nodes are synced intentionally

hoary zodiac
#

especially for a game that has double digit gigabytes worth of updates

mortal grail
#

It lets me be more ocd kekw

#

I can choose what connects where

fresh timber
#

i wish i could mesh my nodes, if i walk into living room line of site to xfinity box im still connected to my ap and my speeds are poo

sinful blade
#

@mortal grail how much would you pay for a 980ti FE?

#

In very good condition

hoary zodiac
#

I swear all IT/Engineering people are OCD

mortal grail
sinful blade
mortal grail
#

So yeah

#

Somewhere around there

hoary zodiac
#

5700XT is like 2070S level

sinful blade
#

Was arguing with a guy, I was right

fresh timber
#

steamservers are just broken

hoary zodiac
#

or 1080ti

fresh timber
#

i plug in ethernet and its doing 76mbps

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

usually the steam servers are decent

mortal grail
#

2070-ish, but no rt

storm narwhal
#

Preetty sure its just Microsoft servers

mortal grail
fresh timber
#

ITS POO ON MY PC TOO

hoary zodiac
#

yeah I think your steam traffic is being routed through steam to the microsoft servers

fresh timber
#

oo and its going back up oo

mortal grail
#

Lmao

fresh timber
#

pc fine

hoary zodiac
#

try downloading csgo or something

#

watch that internet just zoom

storm narwhal
#

Oh

mortal grail
#

Yeah that's just server links

storm narwhal
#

Why get back into infinite anyway

hoary zodiac
#

zoomer vocab be like

#

wait

#

did he get kicked

mortal grail
#

Oh yeah btw unlike homelab we pg here

fresh timber
fresh timber
storm narwhal
#

I stopped at like season 6

fresh timber
#

i just retype it

mortal grail
#

You're fine

storm narwhal
#

Haven't looked back

mortal grail
#

Just figured to mention in case you get kicked by the bot

#

Lol

hoary zodiac
#

yeah bot does not have mercy

storm narwhal
#

I played for the SMG a little bit then nothing else

hoary zodiac
#

we don't care but the bot does

mortal grail
#

I've been kicked enough times by the bot

hoary zodiac
#

bot doesn't care enough to kick the other bots that join every other day

mortal grail
#

Most of which helping people

#

LOL

#

Like that GF1 psu got me kicked like 3 times cos the link had profanity

hoary zodiac
#

AHAHAHA

#

bro got kicked by thermaltake

mortal grail
#

Oh yeah it had to be whitelisted

storm narwhal
#

That's hilarious

mortal grail
#

It's the companies own link too

fresh timber
#

confirmed its not my handheld kek

mortal grail
#

Yeah there you go lol

storm narwhal
#

Server links frfr

fresh timber
#

steamservers are just taking a massive poo rn

#

nothing a reboot cant fix

mortal grail
#

Send gaben text

#

"Servers slow pls reboot"

#

What are the odds he actually does it

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

He doesn't think like normal people

fresh timber
#

i heard he does respond as mucuh as he can

mortal grail
#

I can totally imagine it

storm narwhal
#

Steam is having a small uptick in reports

fresh timber
#

whats making me mad is it working fine on my desktop

#

but tiny computer wants to throw a fit

mortal grail
#

You can throttle speed if the little boi hot boxin

fresh timber
#

its always warm kek

mortal grail
#

Lol

fresh timber
#

i rebooted

storm narwhal
#

Just download on desktop and transfer locally

fresh timber
#

lets see

storm narwhal
#

Ez

fresh timber
mortal grail
#

You could stick a cooling pad or like an ice pack on the back to see if it's throttling from temps

fresh timber
#

my nas has made everything 20x easier when it comes to transfering files between computers

mortal grail
#

Just for the memes

storm narwhal
#

Oh I meant like using steam transfer LOL

mortal grail
#

Speaking of making things easier

fresh timber
#

a reboot kinda fixed the speed problems

mortal grail
#

Why does bluetooth still suck

fresh timber
#

fr

storm narwhal
#

Still uses 2.4ghz

mortal grail
#

Everything is ancient slow on bluetooth

fresh timber
#

OOO IT WORKS

fresh timber
#

i can push 100mbps through my 2.4ghz

mortal grail
#

Ya I think quick share uses 2.4

storm narwhal
#

still also using old standards from BT as well

mortal grail
#

Quick share is decent

fresh timber
#

WiFi btw

hoary zodiac
#

that's probably why wireless mice still uses 2.4GHz receivers instead of bluetooth

storm narwhal
#

quickshare uses direct wifi and bluetooth

fresh timber
#

u know whats intresting to me

storm narwhal
#

Can't say for sure if it uses 2.4 exclusively

fresh timber
#

you can stream lossless audio, but you cant stream it to ur earbuds

mortal grail
#

ikr

fresh timber
#

fix bluetooth, give more bandwith, lossless need what? 1mbps at most?

storm narwhal
#

Yeah I think it was just the bandwidth limitations that BT has set rn

fresh timber
#

ai says its this

mortal grail
#

I'm also thinking about like the need

#

What does bluetooth even do anymore

storm narwhal
#

Not like Ultra Wide Band isn't a thing

worthy meteor
#

BT mouse is usually 125hz and switching to 2.4ghz gets you 1000hz+ pooling rate

fresh timber
#

also why is bluetooth latnecy so bad, 2.4ghz doesnt even have bad latency as mice have proven kek

hoary zodiac
#

bluetooth is like

#

it just exists

#

and nobody bothers to improve it

fresh timber
#

my ps5 controller to my ps5 with its special bluetooth works fast too kek

mortal grail
#

It just seems odd to be where it is

hoary zodiac
#

it's like microusb

mortal grail
hoary zodiac
#

until usb c came along

worthy meteor
#

The people that would bother to make it better are already using 2.4ghz

fresh timber
#

i think the main thing with bluetooth is powerdraw

#

for earbuds? prob not good idea to push 1mbps through them

#

but over earheadphones with decent battery? id sacrifise battery life if that means im pushing mbps for audio

mortal grail
storm narwhal
#

LDAC moment

mortal grail
#

We need bluetooth 6

fresh timber
#

seriosuly, we already have usbc to 2.4ghz dongles for wireless gaming headsets just cause bluetooth is poop

#

so clearly they know how to fix it

hoary zodiac
#

wifi's gone so much

#

we got AX wifi now

mortal grail
#

Introducing bluetooth 6, now with 2.4ghz

hoary zodiac
#

and bluetooth is just still bluetooth

fresh timber
#

kek i think theirs gaming earbuds that use usbc to connect the case to your computer/console, the the case to the earbuds just for lower latency

fresh timber
#

making ur own protocall and system is better than bluetooth kek

icy ore
mortal grail
#

Lmfao

hoary zodiac
#

I wonder if it's better to just stream stuff through wifi

fresh timber
#

it is kek

#

thiers speakers that use wifi for data cause its better than bluetooth kek

hoary zodiac
storm narwhal
#

There is actual bandwidth you can use in Wifi

fresh timber
#

2.4ghz wifi is littrely perfect for this

hoary zodiac
#

wifi direct needs a comeback

storm narwhal
#

It really does

mortal grail
storm narwhal
#

I've heard that Bluetooth Low Energy is supposed to be pretty good

fresh timber
#

bluetooth 6.0, higher power draw for both devices but better sound quality

storm narwhal
#

low power and nice audio quality

mortal grail
#

Soon wifi will be so fast that it'll use less energy than bluetooth

#

Just by existing

fresh timber
#

you know whats crazy

worthy meteor
#

It's probably going to be more popular to just use wifi with wifi 8 aiming for consistency and stability

fresh timber
#

what if they just streamed audio over the network kek

mortal grail
#

Just get a wifi 7 chip, throttle it to 2mbps

#

"bluetooth 6"

#

Lol

storm narwhal
#

genius

fresh timber
#

instead of bluetooth headphones you install a app to conect your headphones to wifi, then any computer with the app can stream to it kek

storm narwhal
#

There goes my data capped plan-

#

but nah that's actually not a bad idea
