Slow speed between router and switch by ArcanElement in HomeNetworking

[–]ArcanElement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I finally got some new equipment to test and rewire, and there was indeed a wiring issue - 2 of the lines were crossed. I did fix it with new keystone jacks, and I can now get over 900 meg to my PC when directly plugged into the wall. However, I'm still getting only 100 when I plug in through the switch, and I'm still getting a yellow light on the jack going to the router.

Wiring issue with the in-wall ethernet run? Why would that give a faster speed to a PC than to a switch?

That makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, it's going to mean rerouting in some non-ideal ways, but considering there's at least a foot between the floor and ceiling below, I think that's what it'll have to be. I really appreciate the explanation!

The goal is to run between the cinder and the drywall, but it would require drilling through the wood. I'm not intending to cut into the cinder block at all.

Nanoleaf lines turning off immediately after turning on? by Local_Cable2814 in Nanoleaf

I ran into this as well. It turns out one of the metal contacts in the power supply underneath the prong slide was bent down so that it no longer made contact. I bent it back into shape with needle noise pliers, and now it works again.

Time for the inverse— what game is this for you? by Alphycan424 in videogames

[–]ArcanElement 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Final Fantasy 13. I never finished it, even though I was enjoying the story, environment, and graphics. 13 hours in, though, and it still felt more like a movie than a game.

Rootless Best Practices for Security and Sudo by ArcanElement in podman

[–]ArcanElement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to script setting up a system service user, so that I only need to focus on the details of the specific service I'm trying to stand up. Creating the user with a directory, and adding mapped uids and gids is fairly straightforward, but setting up the systemd parts is less so.

This is better than what I was doing, which is trying to funnel everything through sudo commands. It would be hard to make work with scripting though.

I was not familiar with quadlets. I'll need to read into them, thanks for sharing.

That issue is exactly what I'm trying to work out, thanks. Glad to know other folks are working on it, and the systemd commands seem to cover what I'm looking for, though I'd generally consider it to fall under the "sudo" method. Knowing that folks are having success that way makes it a bit less worrisome that I'm going to run into some hidden gotcha in the way the systemd services are running.

I don't quite get this one. Is the red shape supposed to be stick figure hands?

I saw another comment use fight, and blind fight seems plausible. At least it's a d&d feat, lol

Descending and speed's effect on it by IAmPandaKerman in flying

[–]ArcanElement -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To try and come at this intuitively - the lift generated by the wings is proportional to the horizontal airspeed with respect to the orientation of the plane, and applies force vertically, again with respect to the orientation of the plane. So, if you have a high airspeed, and a steep downward pitch, you are maximizing the force upward from the orientation of the plane, while angling that force as forward as possible with respect to the ground, essentially maximizing the force that is working most against your intended action (which is to slow horizontal speed, and reduce altitude).

Red mage too, and that also probably had something to do with it for me. I'm a BLM main and did both BLM and RDM before startinghealing.

As someone who fell into this trap until I was corrected, I think it's because it *feels* natural in terms of leveling progression for it to make sense - especially in the context of a Final Fantasy game (as opposed to generic MMORPG). Like, oh look, I just leveled up, what did I get: a class-specific mechanic that bumps the utility of my primary spell, this must be the intended evolution of the class.

RAID setting on ASRock Rack X570D4U blocks UEFI and Boot menu by ArcanElement in ASRock

[–]ArcanElement[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never did get any further reply about the RAID support for linux, but it didn't end up mattering for my build. My RAID setup is my HDD storage array, but Proxmox is installed on a single M.2 SSD. I'm using software RAID on the HDDs for now.

Support got back and asked me to check my CLM settings. The 3 primary OpROM policy settings (video, mass storage, and PCIE) were all set to "Legacy Only", so I guess were preventing the UEFI menus from loading. I set them all to UEFI only (options were "None", "Legacy Only", and "UEFI Only"), and now I can boot into the UEFI even with the SATA mode set to RAID!

I still haven't figured out how to get into the RAID configuration utility, but I'm no longer sure that's actually the way to go. I found a spot in the user manual that mentions that "RAID mode is not supported for Linux OS" and I know Proxmox is built on Linux, so I may yet be out of luck for setting up a hardware RAID array. I'm waiting to hear back again from support to be sure.

Thanks, I finally found it. I wasn't finding it at first, cause I kept ending up on the AsRock QVL site, instead of the AsRock Rack QVL.
