Do the devices have dual 10g ports each? You can build a triangle out of them.

It volts up under load, maybe the problem is too little voltage at light loads.

Why is the “Don’t ask again for this network” checkbox on the “This network has no internet access. Stay connected?” dialog ignored for any and all wifi networks?

Pretty sure openmediavault uses it, but that’s the only one I’ve seen

I was going to update to the current version, but the Gemini button may or may not be there. I’m gonna wait.

I locked my messages version when they added a line below the text input for adding media.

edit: they changed it back!!!

Who said Iowa is full of prudes?

It might be time to virtualize.

Sounds like fraud to me

Be aware that some only work with neolink in between. I have some B800 cams and the picture is phenomenal, but I have to use neolink and h265.

I moved to Amcrest. Much more open, the api is documented, and h264.

Oh, and frigate NVR

I have an HDHomerun tuner, it’s 2 channels for $120. I paid for plexpass and use that DVR, but the HDHR is platform agnostic.

Verizon and Google keep doing these wild trade in deals. They keep giving me $600+ to trade in last year’s Pixel with 3 year “financing”. So $22/mo and I always have the current Pixel. I know they’re screwing me, but I can’t figure out how 🤷🏻

I didn’t skip it, I installed ddclient.

Cloudflare is the devil!

It really was easy. And it works so well I didn’t have to lean the names of stuff haha

For anyone following along, I meant portainer to manage dockers. Podman is a different container technology it seems.

Proxmox was the answer for me. OpenMediaVault in a VM for NAS, LXC containers for things that need GPU access (Plex and frigate). Hell, I even virtualized my router. One thing I probably should have done was a single docker host and learn podman or something similar. I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it’s more to manage.

You’ll want 2 network cards/interfaces- one for the VMs and another for the host. Power usage is not great using old gaming parts. Discrete graphics seem to add 40 watts no matter what. A 5600G or Intel with quicksync will get the job done and save you a few bucks a month. I recently moved to a 7700x and transcode performance is great. Expect 100-150 watts 24/7 which costs me $10-15 month. But I can compile ESPHome binaries in a few seconds 🤣

I did a South American country once too but the payment processor has a snafu and it stopped working after the 2nd month. I just spun up a personal invidious VM and moved on with my life.

I use Ubiquity at work, and decided on TP-Link Omada at home. I virtualized opnsense and the controller, but if you’re just getting started I think this is the device you’re looking for. Street price is $250.

You’ll then need a modem and access points. I use an S33, and I’m happy with it. As for APs- they are $100 and up depending on features you need. The mesh and roaming work very well. I over-spec’d to the 670s, 610s would have worked. WiFi 7 APs are <$200 if you’re into that.

There are now 15 standards
