Seasonal tires swapped.... happy to see that the winter tires still look like they're good for at least another season, but I'll have to grab some new all season's come the spring.

I got the new All Terrain, snow rated Nexen Roadian ATX tires on the truck this week. Very happy with them!

So jelly fin was a bit of a struggle to get working but home lab now does GPU passthrough of both the Tesla P4 and the DG1 I picked up recently to a couple LXC containers, including the new jellyfin instance I spun up.

The DG1 is very much not officially supported on my dual xeon 2697v4 server (it is only supported officially on 9th/10th gen intels with iGPUs). So having it working at all is a bonus.

At one point I was ambitious and was trying to do GPU pass through from proxmox -> docker lxc -> docker container and had that working... but then I needed the USB Blu-Ray burner to also do pass thorugh and I could never get the docker container to pick it up the disks in the drive. Its one of the reasons why i recently ordered a cheap matx-x99 board so i can just have a dedicated baremetal ripping machine and pull the blu-ray drive out of the enclosure. It can just do it's thing until I backup all the disks I have... then maybe I'll sell it or something.

So I celebrated a bit to early "nvidia-sdi" worked inside the lxc container but when I finally let jellyfin scan the files on the NAS and tried to play them it failed. Couple hours of mucking around over the weekend re-started and tried a different approach and only tried to pass through the P4 instead of both (thought to swap between them for testing) and actually have playback and transcoding working. It is working now which is nice.

Was a little slow to build the library though... 2x10G aggregate connections for the server and nas network isn't the bottle neck, but I didn't check the CPU/HDD usage on the NAS while it was building the library only the server. Previously the NAS cache drives not having heatsinks (mirrored raid1 m.2 sata drives) was a bottle neck but they are no longer thermal throttling.

Tempted to configure a ram drive and transcode storage... (have ram to spare)
 
Decided to give VLANs another go. I'm going to be adding cameras in the near future and want all access blocked besides through Home Assistant. First had trouble w/ the Ubiquiti AP. And then secondly had trouble getting OPNSense setup properly so all traffic are on VLANs to prevent leakage between VLANs. Took all damn day but I think I finally got it working. :cool:
 
Not sure if I should be happy or just mad. I've been fighting with Unifi software for like 8 hours. I just could not adopt my APs. All the documentation on where to go to change the inform address are all old and they've change where the setting is. Finally found some blog on where they moved the setting. So FINALLY have wifi working again.

Was inches away from buying a new non Ubiquiti AP.

Not sure if it would have helped, but I've found the settings search function in the networking software seems to work well when it comes to finding settings that have moved.
 
I put a bunch of LEDs on the CNC to help with lighting and when vacuuming it off I shocked myself and the LED (was a lot of fine sawdust from surfacing MDF). Since then the LEDs didn't work.

Well I had forgotten I bought like 3 kits from PA when they were like $8/box and came across the spares in the garage. so I swapped the controller, still didn't work, swapped out the power brick and suddenly they worked. Put the original controller back and still worked. Only managed to kill the power brick.

So CNC now lights up again and since I still had a full complete box left over the server rack now has built in RGB lighting. I just set it to white only but sure is nice having extensive and dimmable lights inside when I'm trying to do things in there. 2 strips 16ft each so I was able to do a full hoop front and back.

DAC cables to swap out the fiber to the NAS had shown up and swapping the wiring around felt a lot easier with the extra lighting.
 
I've been pondering buying a Stream Deck for macro button use for games but putting it off for over a year. I got notice of an upgrade for a HCS Voice Profile Pack I bought for Elite Dangerous a few years ago, which gives you voice control macros and responses instead of pushing one of ~85 different buttons (lower landing gear, power to weapons, etc). This got me thinking about using Voice Attack, the software that powers the HCS Profile pack. Then I found a Voice Attack Profile for Helldivers 2 on Nexus Mods, and now I can use voice commands to call down reinforcements, stratagems, resupply beacons, etc. instead of using the sometimes long arrow button combos.

TLDR: Voice Attack will make my already fun Helldivers 2 game time more fun. :)

VoiceAttack and HCS are awesome. I only can't use my set up when I'm sharing my gaming space with family members... they find it a little, tedious lol
