They were expecting it to not be Android, but something more custom. Like I feel even just bare bones Linux would’ve been more acceptable.

I think they divorced and he found someone else, which is why he stopped making videos.
(I’m not joking, he explained it in one of his most recent videos)
- Comment on i wouldve never expected him to make such a rookie mistake 4 weeks ago:
Yeah usually it’ll still use your dGPU to render, but the frames still have to go back through the iGPU, so there’s a fair bit of overhead compared to plugging straight into the dGPU. I’d imagine it might also increase CPU usage too, as it has to coordinate transfering frames between 2 GPUs.
- Comment on Microsoft waited 6 months to patch actively exploited admin-to-kernel vulnerability 2 months ago:
I might be completely wrong, but I’ve heard that a key is only a few hundred dollars, and once you’ve got it you can sign whatever you want. I think ReactOS also used to offer free driver signing for open source projects.
So I guess if ReactOS can afford one, so can most anti-cheat companies.

Yeah, sorry I wrote the comment before I watched the video.
- Comment on Is Intel gatekeeping WiFi 7? A very quick look at the Intel BE200. 3 months ago:
I’ve looked into getting one for my AMD laptop but I haven’t actually got one yet. Some models are locked, some are not, here’s my research:
- The common
BE200.NGWG
is a CNVi module and everything except the radio itself was moved into Intel’s CPUs, for cost savings. - The
BE200.NGWG.NV
is a normal NIC and should support AMD. - The
BE200.NGWG.NVX
- same as above but with an X? - Anything starting with
BE202
sucks, avoid it.

- Comment on Amazon finds $1B jackpot in its 100 million+ IPv4 address stockpile | The tech giant has cited ballooning costs associated with IPv4 addresses 3 months ago:
I definitely agree with automatically configured stuff, but I enjoy setting link-local static IP address with IPv6, like my home server is
fe80::bad:c0de
or192.168.0.2
, and my NAS isfe80::coo1:da1a
or192.168.0.3
. I’ve definitely mistyped the IPv4 a few times (see your 169 typo), but the IPv6 always delivers hackerman vibes.I have also set
<prefix>::bad:c0de
and have my IPv6 prefix on a keybind, but I understand that’s a bit of a stretch. - Comment on Workaround helps improve gaming performance on outdated Intel CPUs — Resizable Bar UEFI mod works with CPUs as old as Sandy Bridge 3 months ago:
Yep that was exactly the issue I faced before giving up with NVMe.
- Comment on Workaround helps improve gaming performance on outdated Intel CPUs — Resizable Bar UEFI mod works with CPUs as old as Sandy Bridge 3 months ago:
I haven’t completed read through the tutorial, but UEFITool does exist for Linux. (I had unsuccessfully added NVMe support to an old motherboard previously)
- Comment on Workaround helps improve gaming performance on outdated Intel CPUs — Resizable Bar UEFI mod works with CPUs as old as Sandy Bridge 3 months ago:
That’s exactly why this project exists, to allow users to add ReBAR support to their old motherboards.

I doubt this will be any use, but my Telstra 4G has a public IPv6.

Yeah, I’d avoid the cloud version, but SNMP monitoring on the networked version is nice when you want multiple things to shutdown without relying on a single host.

Oh wow, I’ve been looking for something like sdbootutil, I hope it works fine on Debian (although it doesn’t seem to complicated if it doesn’t).
- Comment on Cloudflare is not working for me the way I hoped it would. 5 months ago:
Cloudflare Tunnels will let you proxy any port, as long as it’s HTTP(S) or SSH, even on free tier.
Also I believe there’s a thing now for proxying other ports anyway on free tier without tunnels, but I haven’t looked too much into it.

Since it’s just a static site, you could host it on Cloudflare pages too, if you want to get rid of that 000webhost thing.

if you want to use different SSID for different VLAN
With newer versions of the controller you can actually use PPSK for a different VLAN per password (same SSID), but at the moment you’d be stuck using WPA2.

- Comment on Network upgrades checkin 7 months ago:
Came across these HP NC522SFP 10Gb NICs
Yeah I have one and they’re pretty good, and I haven’t had an issue using it with generic stuff.
a transceiver to get the link from the ISP to the router
Correct! Make sure to get an ethernet/10GBase-T one, because there are other transceivers.
would be easy enough to do some fiber runs there, and it’s all short.
I did forget to mention that you would need more transceivers to convert between the fibre and SFP+, and they are rated for up to different lengths but they should reduce their power for shorter distances. They also come in different speeds too, but unless you’re really strapped for cash, it’s not worth it to go below 10G.
I currently have a 300m ones doing a run of 30m, and I’m about to do a 10m run too. Also these are about AU$10-$20, I find
FTLX8571D3BCL
s the cheapest, but there are others. (I actually got mine for free off a guy on Reddit) - Comment on Network upgrades checkin 7 months ago:
Also 10G is really cheap if you go with used SFP+ gear. Like I’ve got a managed 48x 1G + 4x 10G Dell switch I got for AU$78 running my network. The NICs are about US$40 used, ConnectX3s seem the cheapest, I usually use Intel X520s which are a little more (watch out for clones though).
For the accessories: DACs are AU$20 new from fs.com, and because you’ll probably need ethernet for that router, a 10GBaseT transceiver is AU$90 new off eBay. Those you could probably buy cheaper used too.
Additionally you wouldn’t be adding 10G to all your devices, I’d just definitely do between your router so you can have 3 1G devices maxing out your 3Gb internet, and maybe add it to a server or two.
And if you do your own runs, in my experience, fibre is slightly cheaper for the longer runs than CAT6 itself too.
- Comment on Need some help. Duckdns reverse proxy doesn't seem to be working. 7 months ago:
No worries! I’d probably prefer bridge mode instead of double NAT, but I guess whatever works for you.
- Comment on Need some help. Duckdns reverse proxy doesn't seem to be working. 7 months ago:
Or alternatively something like tailscale will also work without port forwarding.
- Comment on Need some help. Duckdns reverse proxy doesn't seem to be working. 7 months ago:
Oh so you’ve got double NAT. You’ll either have to put the modem into bridge mode, or port forward on both the router and modem.
- Comment on Need some help. Duckdns reverse proxy doesn't seem to be working. 7 months ago:
Do you have CGNAT?
If you run
traceroute
the first hop should be your router, and if the second starts with 100, 10, 172, or 192, then you probably have CGNAT.
