- Comment on Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan 4 days ago:
Good luck if you don’t have a dream machine and you aren’t using 192.168.0.0/16. If the APs don’t find a dream machine they won’t get an IP from DHCP for some godforsaken reason and revert to 192.168.1.20 and won’t do anything until you configure them with ssh. Except you have to ssh on a lan that doesn’t exist which is a huge pita. This is why I have omada APs now.
- Comment on Microsoft is reportedly auto-installing the HP Smart app on Windows 10 and 11 PCs 6 months ago:
Got an HPE Aruba switch, it’s the only HP thing I’ve ever had that I like. Getting new firmware from HP was a pita though.
- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 8 months ago:
Just wait until you encounter morse code abbreviations, some of which are still used in some industries. Like the wonderful X abbreviations, such as:
Wx - weather
Mx - maintainence
Tx/Rx - transmit/receive
- Comment on Recommended Domain & DDNS Providers? 10 months ago:
Cloudflare if you want one of the handful of TLDs they support, namecheap otherwise. For namecheap I still point the nameservers at Cloudflare so they can manage the site. For DDNS I use DDclient, it works, that’s about all I can or should say about a DDNS client.
- Comment on How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta? 10 months ago:
Pi-hole is software that runs typically but not necessarily on a raspberry pi. It maintains a list of known advertising and tracking servers and blocks them by rerouting at the DNS level. For example an embed in a page tells your computer to contact tracking.facebook.com pihole tells your computer that that website is at 0.0.0.0 instead of it’s real IP address. Nifty thing is that you can redirect all of your DNS queries at the router so even devices that can’t normally run ad blockers can take advantage of it.
- Comment on The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation? 10 months ago:
people sleeping or feeling worse around that time.
Well there’s a great big bastard of a nightlight out so I guess that makes sense.
- Comment on What is the need for so many instances? 11 months ago:
For what it’s worth, once you get to the single user level, the cost is pretty much nil assuming you have the hardware and domain already
- Comment on Notes from a Mastodon migration 11 months ago:
This is a big part on why I think self hosting is the way to go with federated platforms. At least I probably shouldn’t ever have an issue with the admins/moderators at lemmy.teuto.icu. Being able to just point the domain name somewhere else should make migrating as simple as spinning up a new container too.
