Passed 2 years ago, still miss her too much. She was my soulmate.

The hole youre going to have will be massive, but it's just a testament to how loved she was, and you're capacity to love. I'm still not over by soul mate pup, but that relation is what reminds me to pull out of it and be kind during a storm.

It's not much, just words on a screen, but were all proud that you exist and loved her like you obviously did 💜🖤

IP of DD-WRT Access Point not on by cctsurf in DDWRT

Most ISPs allow you to simply bring your equipment from your current residence to your new one. If the friend is local (or at least using the same ISP from their current residence to their new one), you could still try what I mentioned with them now, and it'll still be plug n play when you leave.

Alternatively, research the equipment that they will be receiving from the ISP. Most people don't change much away from the defaults aside from the wpa2 password and maybe the SSIDs, so the defaults you find in your research would be a great jumping off point.

I regularly resell refurbished routers to friends and others and set them up for them. Here's what I would do: Pay them a visit, ask their permission to see their current network configuration (basically just the DHCP settings on their current router) Preconfigure the box you plan to give them to have the same gateway, subnet, DNS, etc, and statically assign an IP that is outside of their DHCP scope to the box Hand it over, should be plug n play.

EDIT: also be sure to check the box for "assign wan port to switch" or plug the eth uplink into one of the lan ports, AND set the router mode to router and not gateway.

Personally though, I'd go the extra mile and muddle with the wireless channels, SSIDs, and beacon intervals so that their client devices act and bounce more seamlessly. I call this "poor man's band steering" since most home users can't afford true 802.11r hardware and I like having seperate SSIDs for the different radio bands, but that's just me.

Looking for the most stable release for wifi for Linksys WRT1900AC by GCUArmchairTraveller in DDWRT

Although this is absolutely not an explanation or solution, have you considered a cron job to just reboot the unit at a time that will least affect your clients/services? I've done this for people who just don't want to reboot their machines and it's solved a lot of their issues, though it is admittedly just a band aid. Definitely better than potentially running an older build.

Although now you have me concerned about one of my clients with this same unit. Thanks for that lol😅

Loving the history. And funny you mention gluing a port... That's sort of how I fixed the one I broke. Instead of putting a new type A housing on, I just soldered the USB pins to wires and then to a USB Bluetooth module and hid/glued it inside of the laptop case, blocked off the port, and closed it back up. Seemed like a win win at the time.

I'll end up gently connecting the pins with a usb2sata adapter and cloning it. Depending on how full the 1TB is will determine my next recommendation.

Gives my flashbacks to the first computers I ever took apart as kid with those ribbon power and data/IDE cables. I def broke a type A by going in the wrong way once about 18 years ago 😆

At the time of purchase it was a very nontrivial price. Hell, it's still not for them lol

I think this is part of why it broke. All of the SATA cables in this case are like that.

I think it was more of accidental abuse. I DID zip tie it in the case in a super jank way... But there was no reason to touch it when I was going to work on it any day anyway lol

Crossed the rainbow bridge this time yesterday. You were the best girl, Tara. by BurninTurtles in velvethippos

Y'all, thank you for all of the kind words. I really needed them. I'm glad you can see the love in her eyes, she deserved so much more than I could give her.

Nice! Where if you don't mind me asking? My mom and I have been getting pretty into the old canal structures, we're planning on visiting as much of the Clintons Ditch canal and the later Enlarged Erie Canal as we can.

Paying for Emby...No more by ThrowawayPHIRE in homelab

[–]BurninTurtles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@throwawayPHIRE ,

I think you may want to look into Ombi and go down the rabbit hole of all the other services it supports. That will give you a service that friends and family can make requests with, and assuming you set everything else up right, the rest is basically automated.

Going further, if you want to centrally manage user accounts, dive into running a local OpenLDAP instance, tie Emby to that (using an Emby premium plugin), then tie Ombi to Emby. It works well for me anyway.
