we can never win. it’s simply not allowed

It’s currently just me and my parents but thanks for the info. I’d be going insane if the rest of my family joined and I couldn’t figure out why the recognition was split up.

Thanks for the link. This is seemingly my next step

Quattro Bajeena from gundam. Captain Quattro he is a CHAR.

I did all that and now the computer is a leafblower so hopefully it will be good in a while.

Edit: got more meme faces… settings tweaking time I guess

This is one of those things I kinda wanted but was never going to make myself. I’ll probably add it to my server this week.

You can bolt whatever you want on those. My friend made his gaming rig like that and the sides are cardboard from his grandparent’s adult diaper boxes.

I’ve wanted to make frames like that but those aluminum extrusions are so expensive here. I’m tempted to just get stainless square tube and weld it. The welder would appreciate getting dusted off and receiving the attention.

Including sbcs there are 8 computers in there. There are 5 more laptops and another retired desktop joining. There are plans to get solar and batteries so I’m checking how much power I can actually draw.

edit: just found the weird netbook with usb3 ethernet that I used to run homeassistant bare metal back in the day. one more for the computer pile.

I play stepmania and sometimes edit maps that are good but probably impossible on feet

Family connect to my server with tv. If tv is in the same house everything is blocked and select things are whitelisted.

I’m running it on my server but I haven’t actually used it yet, but it will be there when I need it so I don’t have to use some janky site found online

I have other issues with opnsense lately but it has some sort of bufferbloat mitigation that seemed good enough. On the 1000mbps from isp I get 0ms latency increase at the expense of like 100mbps, or 0ms average with some spikes with a 50mbps loss. Can it be done without any download reduction?

How is x86 openwrt? I’ve been on opnsense but my APs are openwrt and maybe I’m remembering wrong after a long time of not touching the management page but I could have sworn it used to detail what rate cables connect at and it doesn’t seem to any more without unrememberable shell commands, and at some point my lan domains stopped working, among other minor annoyances I could also swear are new since my absence.

Man it doesn’t even feel like that long ago that my mind was blown by 100mbps. Also blown over how I just made a bunch of cat5 (not e) patches for my brother’s brother printer and other non gigabit devices and he mixed it up with the 6a and connected the computer and it seemed to actually work at 2.5gbit. Still put the proper one in though as I can’t trust that and wpnt always be around to babysit it.

One vote for mini pc router with poe wifi ap. When I first set it up I had a tp omada wifi 5 and switched to a yuncore/kuwfi wifi 6 ap flashed with openwrt and I didn’t even have to touch the router config, although I did so the new ap would get the same ip as the old one.

As a path to ease in I was also considering keeping whichever of my older tomato and openwrt routers was more powerful processor wise with the wifi off and using the standalone APs as an upgrade to wifi5/6, but the used pc with 2.5gbe and 10gbit sfp+ came into my possession cheaply so I went for it.

PC router has opnsense though. I haven’t tested x86 openwrt. I also got it cheap because the sfp nic didn’t work, warning of checksum error but I fixed that using intel eeupdate (have to pirate/have nda breaker friend) on a portable windows 10 install.

I move my container workloads around sometimes whenever I decide a partucular machine should be prioritizing different tasks and the built in apps may not always be as portable. Not sure about synology but on truenas I often end up switching to the docker container when some random problem comes up. I’ve been considering trying out kubernetes because of how much migrating I do but the learning path seems a bit cursed. I do have a few computers doing nothing though.

I’m just waiting for something like this with native podman support

I’ve ended up with a different one before. only worked with the included motherboard but the guy I gave it to claims to have gotten it running with a modded bios in an overclocker board.

I never was able to use proper technique on a standard qwerty board due to it causing hand pain with extended use and learning colemak on ortho let me lock in the correct finger position and such without harming my ability to type on a staggered qwerty board. except when drunk, I keept trying to type colemak on the qwerty.
