I get 700/500 on my Unifi U6 Enterprise (4x4 MIMO, 80 MHz, 5 GHz) and 500/500 on my Unifi AC Pro (3x3 MIMO, 70 MHz, 5 GHz).

Could probably get some more on 6 GHz but I never was able to get it to work properly.

I'm no expert on IPv6 but here's how I did it on my OPNsense box:

• Activate IPv6 on your WAN interface (probably already done)
• Activate IPv6 on the LAN interface, use Track interface on IPv6, track the WAN interface and choose a prefix ID like 0x1
• Activate DHCPv6 under Services -> ISC DHCPv6 for your LAN interface (you can shorten the range like ::eeee to ::ffff, you don't have to type the full IP)
• Activate Router advertisments under Services -> Router Advertisments for your LAN interface (set Advertisments to Managed and Priority to High

After that your DHCP server should serve public IPv6 addresses inside of your prefix and clients should be able to connect to the internet.

A few notes:

• Don't forget to add an allow rule for IPv6 on your LAN as well if you only have one for IPv4
• Repeat the steps above for every VLAN you have, always use a different prefix ID
• You don't have to use NAT rules with IPv6 anymore and can just directly add a regular firewall rule to WAN with the target IP and port and you are done
• Make sure you don't have any of the various "Disable IPv6" toggles enabled, there's a few in the firewall settings and general settings for example

Off the top of my head, why did you set the prefix to 0x1? I was under the impression that it only needs to be set if there are multiple vlans

I have multiple VLANs, 0x1 is my LAN and 0x10 is my DMZ for example. I then get IP addresses abcd:abcd:a01::abcd in my LAN and abcd:abcd:a10::bcdf in my DMZ.

However, I get a /56 from my ISP wich gets subnetted into /64. I heard it's not ideal to subnet a /64 but you might want to double check what you really got.

what are your rules for the WAN side of the firewall?

Only IPv4 + IPv6 ICMP, the normal NAT rules for IPv4 and the same rules for IPv6 but as regular rule instead of NAT rule.

My LAN interface is only getting an LLA so maybe it’s being blocked from communicating with the ISP router.

If you enable DHCPv6 in your network your firewall should be the one to hand out IP addresses, your ISP assigns your OPNsense the prefix and your OPNsense then subnets them into smaller chunks for your internal networks.

It is possible to do it without DHCPv6 but I didn't read into it yet since DHCPv6 does exactly what I want it to do.

Is it safe to use JELLYFIN_SQLITE__disableSecondLevelCache all the time or should it only be used for testing?

I have had a lot of database lock issues since 10.9.

Do a library rescan on your music library and then download the latest Finamp beta from here: https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases

Lyrics should work then:

That's a shame because ionity is absolute trash.

0.69 EUR/kWh is a robbery and requiring a subscription to fill your car cheaper is a scam. They are doing it with taxpayers' money as well.

Imagine a publicly funded gas station with those conditions and people would lose their mind.

You can root the Gardena gateway and control their mowers locally with this: https://github.com/andrexp/gardena-local-control

I don't think they have mowers with GPS though. Also, some of their mowers don't use the gateway.

A good reminder that I wanted to check if support can be added for their presence sensors. Those things are incredibly noisy.

Stop recommending questionable open-source like Matrix.

Synapse and Element are fully open source, there is nothing questionable about it. Having a company backing your project as main developer does not mean it suddenly becomes closed source or said company owns the project now.

None of the issues you mentioned are a big deal or make Matrix inherently worse than XMPP. The biggest flaw you can pin on Matrix is its performance but they're working on it.

I don't run Pi-hole but quickly peeking into the container (docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh pihole/pihole:latest) the folder and files belong to root with the permissions being 755 for the folder and 644 for the files.

chmod 700 most likely killed Pi-hole because a service that is not running as root will be accessing those config files and you removed their read access.

Also, I'm with the guys above. Never chmod 777 anything, period. In 99.9% of cases there's a better way.

They have a different architecture so it comes down to preference.

Docker runs a daemon that you talk to to deploy your services. podman does not have a daemon, you either directly use the podman command to deploy services or use systemd to integrate them into your system.

Starting with 10.9 you can enable segment deletion so files are cleaned up while still transcoding.

His recent video on the Fairphone is what did it for me.

His "deal breaker" is that the notification sound is too loud? Replacing a battery by heating up your phone, prying it open, disconnecting the flimsy battery cable and prying out the glued in battery is apparently just as easy as using your hands. Seriously?

domi , 3 months ago

Calling something that can be fixed with a simple software update a deal breaker is strange to me, yes.

Adding it as critique so it can be fixed is fair, as a reviewer I expect them to note things like these. I do not need them to add their own opinion on whether this is a deal breaker or not.

Which one? The G27/G920/G29 and some others are supported pretty much out of the box.

Not thanks to Logitech but they do work fine.

domi , 3 months ago

Do you mean the G923? Can't find a G928 anywhere.
The G923 is supported since kernel 6.3.

domi , 3 months ago

That's strange. Do you happen to use a USB extension cables to reach your steering wheel?

I noticed that Linux is far worse than Windows in recovering from USB errors. Most of the time it will just stop working where Windows will ignore the error and continue.

If you are interested in diagnosing the issue you can run journalctl -f in a terminal while playing and check the logs when an issue occurs. USB errors will be marked red in the log.

I have been using a Odroid N2+ running CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin ever since it released. Plays absolutely everything you throw at it, even 4k60 with HDR.

https://coreelec.org/

If you need Dolby Vision, you will need one of the supported devices, the Odroid N2+ is not one of them.

domi , 3 months ago

They use Samsung Exynos CPUs IIRC instead of the Broadcom chips that the Pis use

Didn't know there were Odroids with Exynos CPUs.

The N2+ has an Amlogic S922X, CoreELEC is also a fork of LibreELEC but only for Amlogic processors.

There are newer Amlogic chips nowadays but I never looked into them.

domi , 3 months ago

That depends on the SBC.

Most of them boot from SD so you will want to get an enterprise SD card or one for cameras.

The Odroids have an eMMC slot for storage. Most boot from USB as well.

There are now SBC with SATA ports and even some with M.2 or PCI-e slots.

CoreELEC is especially built with Amlogic chips in mind, it includes all the drivers necessary to GPU decode all codecs it can.

The live test you posted runs on CPU, there's no mobile ARM chip out there that can smoothly CPU decode anything above 1080p so using GPU decode is crucial.

domi , 3 months ago

I guess the processor needs to be an Amlogic for the best media experience?

If you want to use CoreELEC, yes. It only supports Amlogic.

They also support flashing a lot of different TV android boxes and some can be had for cheap so also worth looking there.

Well thanks for the heads up, as a fellow lazy Gandi user I now know where to switch my domains to.

I got a Unifi US 16 XG as core switch for like 400 bucks back when it was new and thought it was expensive.

Looking at what Unifi is doing nowadays a 16 port 10 Gbit switch seems like a steal.

Besides that I also have a US 16 150W for my PoE devices and a USW 24 G1 for everything else.

Same here, all my 4k players run Kodi/CoreELEC with the Jellyfin plugin.

If only ESPHome had support for Zigbee on the C6 and H2. So much potential for cool projects.

domi , 4 months ago

Due to time and energy i tend to an out of the box, non OSS solution.

Why not both? OPNsense and pfSense both sell official hardware.

Both are pretty easy to configure but have pretty much no limit on how deep you can go.

Unifi works great as well but you hit a ceiling fairly quickly if it needs to do anything advanced.

SteamVR on Linux works out of the box if you have a Valve Index or a HTC Vive.

There are some others that work via ALVR but can't speak about that.

Two caveats though:

• Valve likes to break SteamVR for Linux with every third update and then takes weeks to fix it
• It works but there's a lot of issues with it. From incorrectly scaled UI, to missing features, to SteamVR Home not working for a year straight

Most of the time there are community workarounds but there's only so much they can do.

I have like 30 old hard drives laying around and have been thinking about doing a cool art installation with them for a while.

Maybe shatter the platters to create a spiky landscape and epoxy them in, or something like that.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the artist view on things. :)

I mostly want something pretty to look at but adding a message to it is an excellent idea.

Yes, I've got quite a few types, good idea.

Will have to try that, also a good way to one-up my neighbor with those CDs hanging outside. :)

Definitely go with K3s instead of K8s if you want to go the Kubernetes route. K8s is a massive pain in the ass to setup. Unless you want to learn about it for work I would avoid it for homelab usage.

I currently run Docker Swarm nodes on top of LXCs in Proxmox.
Pretty happy with the setup except that I can't get IPv6 to work in Docker overlay networks and the overlay network performance leaves things to be desired.

I previously used Rancher to run Kubernetes but I didn't like the complexity it adds for pretty much no benefit. I'm currently looking into switching to K3s to finally get my IPv6 stack working. I'm so used to docker-compose files that it's hard to get used to the way Kubernetes does things though.

Out of interest, which one is it?

It's what was done for Panasonic ACs: https://www.espthings.io/index.php/2023/09/02/esphome-panasonic-climate-interface/

I'm sure somebody will take a really close look at Haier ACs now.

I currently selfhost mailcow on a small VPS but I would like to move the receiving part to my homelab and only use a small VPS or service like SES for sending.
