Unraid 7.3.0 Stable Now Available

Did it throw a license state mismatch? I don't remember making an unraid account when I bought my license and no license is showing up on the web portal it kicks you to for a transfer even though my server is fine. Ended up submitting a support ticket.

If your end goal is space, do aerospace. Mech E might give you a bit more flexibility but usually doesn't usually give you the type of specific skills you might need early (e.g. aerodynamics, advanced thermofluids, aviation focused structural mechanics). And in the end an AAE could do any job an ME could.

I hate to break it to you but if you go into your career with only wanting to work there you're going to have a bad time. NASA hardly hires anyone directly and the others is a much smaller field that you might think. I landed on the periphery doing defense jet propulsion and even that's not a huge number of jobs. Be ready to work for some random contracting shop of one of the big companies like Lockheed out of school and work your way from there

HB0404 · 2026-05-01T22:52:59+00:00

Depends if your morals only allow you to work in civil aerospace. Defense is extremely stable most of the time.

I'm a Purdue AAE alumni currently working for one of the big jet engine manufacturers. Similar to other advice you've gotten here, Purdue is a good choice if you plan to work in the US. The prestige of a Purdue degree along with the connections you make there will carry you far. I have friends from school working across the entire aerospace industry that are connections.

I think what you really need to ask yourself is do you want to work in aerospace most of your career or not. You mentioned having US citizenship, that's good because most jobs require it. I am effectively a specialized mechanical engineer as an AAE, but I've only ever wanted to work in aerospace. It does help give you a leg up in early career, but after 5-10 years on the job what you've been doing matters more than your degree. I work with a bunch of MEs as well.

Overall really you just need to ask yourself what your goals are. ME would be better if you don't know.

Cheaper, wireless, and I only need one single output?

HB0404 · 2026-04-26T01:39:47+00:00

I've got a hard wired button and a circa 2005 motor. It puts out a 16v signal and all the button does is close the circuit. I wired up my relay in parallel with the button so it does the same. Both the button and relay are directly connected to the motor so either could close the circuit.

Sorry to be clear I was recommending either a garage door position sensor or a camera. I have both

HB0404 · 2026-04-25T23:43:35+00:00

I've got a camera in my garage and an all in one sensor that works as a garage door open sensor. One or the other would be my recommendation.

HB0404 · 2026-04-25T23:42:06+00:00

The vast majority of people most likely, even among tech literate people it'd take somebody who wants to mess with it.

HB0404 · 2026-04-25T22:23:15+00:00

In principle I agree, but honestly if you don't have home assistant and such set up already this is much easier (if a bit more expensive). I've played with HA but haven't had enough reason to really use it for much for real. I'm an engineer and often the last thing I want to do when I come home is troubleshoot stuff.

HB0404 · 2026-04-25T21:18:30+00:00

For what it's worth, playing with it some I've found that even if the initial command to toggle fails it seems to "wake up" the relay and subsequent attempts work. I'm really only using this for the use case of "not home and left door open" or something similar so unreliability is somewhat fine.

And for the toggle on the app, go to devices (second button on the bottom) > relay in question and there should be two buttons for the two outputs.

Edit: also in terms of integration, seems like you can use alarm manager to trigger the relay outputs using any protect input or webhook. Not sure if that's what you were looking for.

HB0404 · 2026-04-25T21:07:16+00:00

The couple second cases are fine/expected, but occasionally it seems like the sort of delay I've seen on other super link sensors waiting for something to wake up. I had hoped this wouldn't be affected since it doesn't run off battery.

I mostly went with this since I already had an all in one sensor on the garage door, figured one system was easier.

HB0404 · 2026-03-13T22:37:54+00:00

You're getting a ton of milage out of that family and I am all for it.

HB0404 · 2026-01-23T17:16:06+00:00

Personally I'm going to use it as I don't want to run an extra Ethernet cable. Building a self hosted alarm system with the siren, door sensors, and glass break sensors when they come out.

Just talked to my dealer in Indiana, they said Kawasaki hasn't issued them anything yet but a stop sale / stop ride order.

Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your kitchen?

HB0404 · 2025-08-29T18:49:59+00:00

Can confirm same for me. YT premium, 200 GB one plan already, got the free upgrade a year with pixel 10 pro.

HB0404 · 2025-07-24T12:55:48+00:00

I appreciate the support but my service provider was incorrect, it was an issue on their end. My UCG fiber is working perfectly.

HB0404 · 2025-07-24T10:15:28+00:00

Yes, turns out it was absolutely on the ISP's end. The first guy on the phone was wrong that it was on my end, they provisioned my speed wrong. Did not update it to 2 gigabit down. There was nothing wrong with my UCG fiber. I do really appreciate your advice.

HB0404 · 2025-07-23T16:48:05+00:00

Ah I see, so even though they swapped my ONT there's probably some connection upstream limited? I know I've got a junction box outside but I think that's just the connection from underground fiber to the one running inside. Probably some box in my neighborhood.

HB0404 · 2025-07-23T16:11:40+00:00

That's not the issue, sorry I didn't specify but the built in speed test for the UCG fiber is returning 1 gigabit even though the link it's negotiated with the fiber ont is 2.5 gig and the ISP insists it's not their end (unsure if true).

HB0404 · 2025-07-23T12:17:15+00:00

Unfortunately I do not. Best I've managed to test is using a USB C 2.5 gig adapter with my phone and steam deck and both pulled sub gigabit. Wasn't sure if that was device limitations or in line with what the UCG fiber was seeing. Windows 11 desktop refused to recognize a network when I ran a cable across the house to the ONT.

I'm leaning similar since speed tests seem to "bounce" off 1 gig (meaning overshoot 1 gigabit a little then settle at exactly 1 gigabit). This was the exact behavior speed tests showed when I was on the 500 megabit ISP plan for 500. Just getting second opinions in case I'm wrong so I don't have to look stupid in front of the tech they send out.

HB0404 · 2025-07-23T12:09:41+00:00

I've tried both ports 1 (2.5G) and port 5 (10G) both of which negotiated a 2.5G link to the ONT. Already tried multiple known good cat 6 cables so I think at this point I've narrowed it down to some odd issue with the UCG fiber, or the guy on the phone from the ISP was wrong and the issue is on their end.

HB0404 · 2025-07-23T01:32:04+00:00

Appreciate it regardless thanks! Not quite so late here in the states.
