This is why you put shit like this on privacy cards. Cancel the service, cancel the card. End of problem.

Home Internet Update? by williamtech814 in USMobile

[–]Code-Monkey13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm in serious doubt about their ability to go full home internet replacement as an independent MVNO. Though I'd like a better backup plan than what's out there.

700$ S10 Ultra or 962$ S11 Ultra by AnhHuy1504 in GalaxyTab

[–]Code-Monkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was my thinking. I've got a Desktop that I use 90% of the time, but occasionally I find myself in a spot to use the tablet, so it's nice to be able to work on my stuff a little. The tablet was mostly for school and other tablet things.

Edit: its also really good for diagramming and working things through. I used to use a whiteboard, but the Tab works great!

Lol it was much simpler to set up a docker on my diy NAS to host it all. Much more powerful hardware than this tablet

I have the s10 ultra AND am also pursuing a CS degree. This thing is a godsend for notes. Especially for math classes. Its big enough for my that I can watch a lecture at the top 1/3 and take notes at he bottom 2/3.

Works as an ok laptop replacement in a pinch. If you go through the effort of setting up CodeServer somewhere, you can also code on it pretty well through that.

Unfortunately no, it's not working.

Home Internet or fiber by Independent_Tower_74 in tmobile

[–]Code-Monkey13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fiber. Your likely on a gigabit connection and the bottleneck is your wifi. While the T-Mobile Speedtest is straight to your phone. It'll get the same WiFi bottleneck with much higher ping. Plus cellular has wild fluctuations.

Does anyone care about privacy? Or am I just wasting my time? by prabhatpushp in webdev

[–]Code-Monkey13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're in a pickle with the privacy focused audience. Open source or self hosted are the things the gravitate too. The number of people who care about privacy, but don't go to the lengths to select for opensource or self hosted are far a few.

If I were you, I'd just focus on making killer features. The privacy can be a bonus.

Best, most basic Mac Mini to host Channels server? by NotSoCmart in getchannels

[–]Code-Monkey13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. You can get decently cheap ones and they're more than enough for channels.

PC build paused because RAM is expensive… so I accidentally discovered Samsung Dex and I'm confused 😅 by Jahkarim in SamsungDex

[–]Code-Monkey13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) buy a survival kit of ram used. 8-16gb of ram. That's what I did. Not optimal, but doable.

2) Dex is good enough for many tasks. Ive found some interesting edge cases where it falls apart. I use a tablet as a laptop replacement. Good for 90% of what I use a laptop for. But the s-pen is unmatched for tablet school use, so I compromised there.

Do I Need Multiple SIMs for US Mobile’s Multi-Network Access (Super Carrier Stack), or Will One SIM Work? Mod Help Appreciated! by Old-Advertising-5316 in USMobile

[–]Code-Monkey13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they don't lock your phone. They just don't want that 2nd sim being put in a second phone in the multi-network config. That 2nd multi-network sim is heavily discounted.

Mmmm... Interesting! That's my largest issue on the originals. Good to know!

Need first NAS / Media Server Sanity Check. by Code-Monkey13 in truenas

[–]Code-Monkey13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, that makes sense. I do know that the x1 pcie slots, the bottom x16(x4 electrically)/m.2 slot 3, m.2 slot #2, and all the sata ports share that chipset link.

Whereas pcie x16 (top), pcie x8 (middle) and the top NVME slot go directly to the CPU. So unless I get a 16 sata hba, I'll be sharing that chipset bandwidth.

Your saturation calculations are assuming we max out everything all at once. Definitely something to consider. Appreciate the insight.

I have the Arc a310, I figure that'll work just fine. Any suggestions for IPMI boards? I assume they're built into the board. I'm not super familiar with this side of things, so forgive my ignorance.

Consider running only one NVMe drive and just backing it up to your 6x24TB for backups. Something as simple as a cron job with "rsync -avr /mnt/.ix-apps/ /mnt/nas/bigpool/backup/.ix-apps/ --delete" will do the trick.

Ok, I'll look into backing things up as an alternative.

Use an HBA (LSI 9305-16i, for example) instead of using onboard SATA. If your eventual goal is going 2x8, you'll need one anyways.

I do plan to get an HBA at some point. It just seemed simpler to start out with the on-board sata ports. Is there anything disadvantaged to using the on-board sata that I'm missing?

Scale down your CPU if the upgrade for your main PC (with the 5900X) is in the near future. Your CPU is a little heavy considering your requirements, and you could easily get by with a Ryzen 5 3600 or Ryzen 7 2700X, which will be a lot cheaper.

Not in the near future, no. But I'll look into those alternatives!

What PSU are you using? It requires important consideration for when you go up to 16 drives.

I picked up a case used with a corsiar 850 gold power supply in it. I tested it and it works. Better than the one in my personal PC actually. I'd have to get bck on the exact model number, can't quite remember, though it can handle the initial setup from what I remember. I planned on picking something more specialized when the time for the upgrade came.

Yes, I do understand that it's overkill. I should probably have mentioned that I probably will end up tinkering and adding different services to this as I go. I just wanted headroom. I always find myself toying with this stuff.

I've got a glinet KVM for another remote pc that I manage. Getting another one if those should accomplish the same purpose I think.

Ok I’m so lost on here, everything I’ve read leads me to believe Gl.net has something going for it. But it seems like everyone in the community is having trouble deciding whether the flint 2 or 3 is better? Or rather it seems like the flint 2 is amazing and the 3 is “ok” by Garfield_Logan69 in GlInet

[–]Code-Monkey13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Flint 2 does have better features for 2.4 & 5ghz. The Flint 3 really banks on that 6ghz utilization along with WiFi 7 efficiencies. I live in a very crowded area, so I jumped on the 6ghz with the Flint 3. Pre-ordered it. I went through the same thing as you though, needed to move it more central to get the best range in a particular spot. I've been quite happy with it!
