    General question(s) on Ethernet crimping / cables

    Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't shielding require you to ground it as well to work effectively. Otherwise it becomes an antenna? So you have to use shielded the whole path so its all connected? I am only asking as I was wiring my basement and came across some information that mentioned...

    DDR5 pricing going up FAST

    What seems to insane about all this is how fast prices have gone nuts. As GamersNexus in that video said "As long as stock line go up economy good" seems to be the narrative. Also if AI fails, we all go to SAAS for everything to make use of these datacenters.

    VLANs discussion

    Probably easiest to start small then make more later. Im still migrating things as it turns out if opnsense has an issue I was losing all my network access. So now I run core services on Vlan 1 so it always works then everything else in its own segregated VLAN. Plex from what ive read has...

    VLANs discussion

    Once I understood the concept better, and with a little help from some AI, probably about 2 weeks. Though this was part of a much larger migration away from a flat network. Now all I have to do it tag the vlan on whatever VM or device to put it on the network I want. The big key was making...

    VLANs discussion

    Ive been using a VLAN for IOT for a couple of years now and just recently setup VLANS to start separating all my traffic. I can show you some examples of my OPNSense setup. Also for tagging. The way I do it is any device thats downstream from the switch that cant understand VLAN tags. I set the...

    Duplicate file finder that works

    If your using plex I found a neat app called Cleanarr that can scan for duplicates of files and let you get rid of the worst quality one or do it all manually in the list. https://github.com/Cleanarr/Cleanarr

    Plex vs Jellyfin?

    Ive been using Plex since about 2014, but I keep a JF instance running as I get the feeling its only a matter of time before plex pushes us out to move to more subscription based things. I bought my lifetime pass long ago so its paid for itself for sure. Now the main reason I still use plex, is...

    GN review of RAM prices

    I hope you're wrong for all our sakes. But I remain doubtful that this is the sad future.

    GN review of RAM prices

    I used to think computing was the ones hobby I had left that wasn't going through the roof with expenses. (Besides GPU's) but it seems everything has gone nuts. I use some AI stuff to help work through problems but I dont think its as big a game changer as we are being sold for sure. I just...

    Want to Sell Nothing for now.

    Very tempted by that SSD. Would make it really easy to run dual booting on my desktop. But I don't need the heatsink. I might PM you later today on this!

    Building server room of sorts in basement

    Ive been thinking about switching as the newer releases of unifi OS look alot easier to manage over Omada. Though Omada is essentially a chinese copy of unifi so it has some similarities. I also was getting concerned when there was talk of the TP-Link ban due to security concerns. Its hard to...

    Thoughts on Fasting (Days without Food)

    Love Dr Mike, especially his sense of humor. I've been using the RP diet app and their Hypertrophy app to diet and workout at home. The diet app really helped me lose weight and cut down on a lot of the unbalanced foods. I haven't really gotten sick nearly as much or as long as I have in the...

    Building server room of sorts in basement

    Im not doing quite the same thing. Ive got a bit of a storage room for my rack. Along with the rest of the basement work being done. This looks like a sweet setup though! How are you liking the Ubiquiti stuff? Im running TP-Link Omada but I'm thinking of switching back to Ubiquiti.
