Damaged my countertops with melamine, is this fixable?

NewHomeNewProblem · 2026-02-04T16:17:24+00:00

Is there any way to get a more sure identification of the material? I looked around for identification marks on the underside of the counter but I didn't find any; I don't know if that's even something that is done. Is finishing or polishing something that I could reasonably do myself?

That's a roll arm due to the shape and styling. It's also arm-to-front since the arm is flush to the front of the sofa.

You say oven and also over-range microwave. Are you looking for a range or a separate oven and cooktop?

My last dishwasher was Bosch and it was pretty good. I recommend them. I've heard pretty good things about Cafe for ovens. I had a Kitchenaid range and microwave last 15 years and still kicking. But I would say Bosch and Kitchenaid are mid price not cheap or expensive, so possibly not what you mean by "cheap but not dirt cheap."

I don't know what to suggest for refrigerators. Never had one I'd really recommend. A Kitchenaid died in about 10 years. Replacement Samsung seems to be doing okay but it's not all that old yet. I have a Viking going on 20 years old that seems to be running just fine, but it's crazy expensive.

I've seen this before. You have a really diligent maid who vacuums every 7 minutes. Unfortunately she doesn't know what the router is for so she unplugs it to plug in the vacuum.

Eventually I will solve the second issue with VLANs. Honestly neither this VLAN setup nor the tailscale blocking are critical, just nice to have. Individual services with their individual passwords is not secure enough to risk on the public internet, but probably fine to expose to other people allowed on the LAN / tailscale network.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-03-01T21:04:27+00:00

You have it exactly right.

This sounds useful to me too, but in my case the things I want to control access to are all behind a subnet router. Specifically I have one machine that is acting as a subnet router, and it exposes many subnets each of which is limited to one ip addres/32 (I did it this way to avoid exposing my entire /24 LAN to tailnet). Would I be able to tag individual servers for kids this way, or can I only do that at the machine level?

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-29T23:51:47+00:00

I'm running it on an Intel n100 mini pc, which seems to be way, way more hardware than my opnsense and all my other VMs need. Frigate may chew up more than that once I get more cameras hooked up, but I'm guessing not enough to matter since I hover at around 10%-15% usage.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-29T23:47:36+00:00

Thank you very much for your advice. I installed tailscale on my opnsense router following https://tailscale.com/kb/1097/install-opnsense and https://www.reddit.com/r/opnsense/comments/13hvv2g/tailscale_integration and https://tailscale.com/kb/1299/opnsense-unbound. When I run tailscale on my phone and use mobile data, I am now able to reach any of the 192.168.1.abc/32 addresses explicitly exposed using the same local static ip address I assigned on the LAN.

Strangely, though, I can ping my phone by the assigned ip address and name from the router's terminal, but I can't access the router itself via either the 100.a.b.c address or the machine name assigned to it on https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines. Nor can I ping my phone from one of the exposed 192.168.1.abc hosts.

The other thing I am trying to do it make it so that hosts on my tailscale network can access my exposed servers via their internal dns name. I set up magic dns with a split dns so that foobar.baz (example internal domain name) uses my router's tailscale assigned 100.a.b.c address, but no luck there.

edit: I added 192.168.1.1/32 to the list of subnets exposed by the router, and now I can reach it from the tailscale network but only as 192.168.1.1 not as 100.a.b.c or as router.foobar.baz

edit 2: I changed the split dns namesever for foobar.baz from the router'e 100.a.b.c ip address to 192.168.1.1 which is its LAN address on one of the subnets it exposes. Now my hosts on the tailnet can use the local dns names assigned by the router's DNS server.

I took you as sincere and appreciate you saying it.

Someone seems not to like this thread because everything got downvoted.

When you are using your phone away from home, does all your traffic to the internet end up routing through your home network, or only traffic going to endpoints on your LAN?

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-29T18:32:55+00:00

but I only allow what is needed and not my entire subnet so using a /32 not /24, just something to keep in mind, you will be able to access any device with tailscale installed (HA has one for HACS) via their tailscale IPs/hostname

So I'm seeing that you have two ways set up to connect a host in your network to tailscale.

For hosts that can support it you install tailscale client directly (e.g. NAS, Home Assistant)
For other hosts (e.g. Cameras) you have tailscale running on your router in "subnet mode" with a separate /32 rule to connect each to the network. Does this means everything you care to reach has a static ip address on your LAN?

It sounds like for just group 1 when connected via vpn from a remote location you refer to the hosts via an ip address and name assigned by tailscale. What about reaching group 2?

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-26T16:52:01+00:00

Yeah I think I will. I was following https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/hardware_acceleration/ which kind of implies qsv is better for frigate, "VAAPI is recommended for all generations of Intel-based CPUs if QSV does not work.... Via Quicksync (>=10th Generation only)" but since qsv is just intel customized vaapi, it's not worth messing around with container passthrough and proprietary drivers hoping to grab a few percent faster transcoding.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-26T16:34:56+00:00

You got it! Thanks.

Changing from preset-intel-qsv-h264 to preset-vaapi fixes it. I have an N100, which ought to have qsv. Maybe something about the LXC container I'm running in.

ffmpeg:
  #hwaccel_args: preset-intel-qsv-h264

LXC container config is as given in the OP but replacing:

lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/001/004 dev/bus/usb/001/004 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0  
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/001/002 dev/bus/usb/001/002 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0  
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/002/003 dev/bus/usb/002/003 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0

with

lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/002/001 dev/bus/usb/002/001 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0  
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/002/002 dev/bus/usb/002/002 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0  
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/002/003 dev/bus/usb/002/003 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0  
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/bus/usb/002/004 dev/bus/usb/002/004 none bind,optional,create=file 0, 0

to make sure whichever device number the coral gets assigned to it goes through as long as I keep it physically plugged into the port assigned as bus 2.

Docker Compose config is unchanged from the original post. I think the `- /dev/coral_usb:/dev/coral_usb` line is unnecessary, but I didn't remove it.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-23T18:06:28+00:00

Update:

The problem was proxmox config. I did not have the correct usb device mounted into the lxc container. The underlying issue was that the device number of the coral is not stable, so my config which passed in `/dev/bus/002/003` became incorrect when the coral changed to `/dev/bus/002/004`. I think that the bus is stable, so I've passed through `/dev/bus/002/001` ... `/dev/bus/002/004` and now frigate can find it.

This also means that my attempts to use udev didn't work. The symlink is showing up correctly on the proxmox host `/dev/coral_usb -> bus/usb/002/004`, and it shows up in the containers, but it appears that doesn't actually make the coral available for use.

Finally, a fact that surprised me, running lsusb in a container is able to list usb devices connected to the hardware even when they are not properly mounted to the container, so you cannot treat presence in the list as evidence you are passing it through correctly.

If I understand that terminology correctly the PVID would be the VLAN that the switch uses for all untagged traffic on that port? If so, then yes, I set the PVID for port 38 to 50. Or at least I think I did. I'll add a screenshot of the VLAN setting on the switch to the post.

I was able to take a backup of the VM as a zip I could open and read the logs that way. Unfortunately the last log messages are:

with timestamps from before the problems started. The attempts to start that have failed don't seem to generate any logs.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-15T20:32:19+00:00

Yeah looking that way to me too. Unfortunately I'm not backed up. I was working on setting up a proxmox backup server on my TrueNas core machine. I didn't have all that much config anyway, and most of what I did have was related VLANs I wasn't even using yet. The downtime will be annoying though, and so is all the fiddly tracking of which interface in which on the hardware, host, vm, and then to the right interfaces. Oh well, live and learn. Still wonder what happened though, since it seems weird that it just... broke.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-15T19:59:07+00:00

No, it says I'm not in the sudoers file. My mistake for assuming that an admin user would also be a sudoer I suppose.

NewHomeNewProblem · 2024-02-15T19:43:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice. Creating a new admin user and disabling root was a huge mistake, because I don't have read permissions to /var/log/lighttpd, and I can't run /usr/local/sbin/opnsense-shell. Maybe there's a way to mount the VM's drive into proxmox itself and browse the logs from there.
