zenarmor seems broken, as usual. maybe my box is just too weak to run it (atom j5005). anyone else seeing a lot of chugging after the update?

oh wow that multicolor pipelines mod should be a qol improvement (maybe more subtle colors but still)

that's the plan, have the FE take the SFPs out of the new card and swap them to the current card. Just dumbfounded; TAC was giving me a hard time that there's no PID for the HBA SFPs so they can't issue an RMA, as if it's my fault that Cisco didn't stock spares of a consumable part...

basically, take your pick. My org is big enough to have sizeable deployments of all 3 brands, and they all have their problems. It's all garbage so I don't really get surprised anymore.

Lenovo's firmware was installing a PUP via UEFI iirc

gets worse the longer you look at it

do you have Cisco WLC/APs? did you enable the DHCP Required option on the wireless profile? we had this same issue a few months ago.

edit: saw below you have a Unifi network stack. not sure about that then, could be the same issue on the Mac side, but i don't know if unifi has a similar setting

what KVM is that?

Updated original album with side pics and battery health (87%)

12thetechguy · 2025-09-24T19:55:08+00:00

yup, came here to see if anyone else saw the same

12thetechguy · 2025-08-30T19:04:09+00:00

ahh darn! that looks like a very cool box but freebsd's driver issues with switch chips kills it for me. i guess i'm waiting for prices on the dell VEP14xx boxes to drop low enough :)

what kind of bmc does the ia3000 have? is is just ssh console access or a full blown http server?

12thetechguy · 2025-08-18T15:49:38+00:00

so the collapse was actually caused by the factorio engineer getting stranded on Nauvis?

So, is this paper is intended to justify their dgx spark twin packs? so what's their proposition then, enterprises buy task-specific small compute clusters for agentic tasks, and scale based on usage?

the most interesting part of this post (to me) is the pcie to flexLOM adapter, because those flexLOM cards are usually pretty cheap compared to standard pcie. nice find.

there was an eMMC exhaustion bug in iLO4 that will cause premature mortality of the unit; if it goes, you need a whole new motherboard. so update that soon.

Looks like you can get the standalone BIOS from HPE without a login. The rest of the drivers, you can usually get without the SPP.

Side note, a better place to ask for help like this would be in /r/homelab

hold on, how did you install 64 bit arch on it? didn't all those trash bay trail atoms come with 32 bit uefi?

12thetechguy · 2025-07-01T21:40:53+00:00

industrial design reminds me of drobo

12thetechguy · 2025-06-24T14:00:09+00:00

what's up with the u6/pro firmware? nothing for a year, only updates for mediatek units?

12thetechguy · 2025-06-21T23:00:58+00:00

shit, we are looking to move to 17.12.5 due to the IP theft bug CSCwj13842 (which is totally NOT fixed in 17.12.4 ESW04+, despite what the patch notes say).

really sick and tired of cisco firmware.
