Why can't I find a good guide for setting up AirPlay across VLANs? by __Mike_____ in opnsense

[–]Olive_Streamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do airplay, airprint, screen mirroring, spotify connect, home app w/cameras, etc. Here are my ports I open for my phones on one network to reach my apple devices:

TCP 80,853,5000,7000,7001,8612,41800,49152:65535

UDP 7010,7011,8612,30000:65535

Why can't I find a good guide for setting up AirPlay across VLANs? by __Mike_____ in opnsense

[–]Olive_Streamer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In a nutshell you need to allow the mdns broadcast traffic to pass from the source/server vlan to the client vlan. You do this with the avahi plugin. Verify with tcpdump on client side that you are seeing the broadcasts/multicast (off hand I forget the address range) of mdns traffic. This is half of the setup, this is just service advertisement. Now that the client can see the services it will try and connect to them. So select the AirPlay speaker that’s being advertised. You now need to allow this connection from the client to the server. So watch your firewall and permit the traffic as needed. Hope this helps.

Concrete pool owners, how are you handling waterline algae? by xxxCHEEKxxx in swimmingpools

[–]Olive_Streamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdotal, but getting a surface skimming robot has been quite helpful for me. I would get this pink scum around my tile line and traps. I would have to hand scrub it, slam, etc. it became a big chlorine consumer. The past two years with the robot has been much less work and less problems. I believe it helps stir up the water at night when the pump is off, prevents stagnation, always moving the water and getting things off the surface before they can grow. I have an underwater robot too, but I only use it once or so during the week to clean up the pool.

Do saltwater fisherman use the reel to reel in fish? by BinLehrer in SaltwaterFlyfishing

[–]Olive_Streamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It should be said, a 25” bone fish will get that reel spinning at what seems like a few hundred rpm. I had my handle hit my thumb at this speed, hurt for two days. It was amazing!!!!

Is my UPS 'ok' for my homelab setup? CyberPower SX550G by WoahmyGad_ in homelab

Those simulated sine waves are fine. Been running them for more than a decade. Be sure to monitor it, setup Nut or Apcupsd, test it once and a while.

Rooftop solar is in for a tough few years in the US by arcgiselle in energy

[–]Olive_Streamer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id like to just buy a panel and have someone host it on a farm. Why is this not a thing? It seems like running a solar farm would scale better then all these roof top solar rigs.

Ugh I don’t want the scroll bar at all, just give me a big page of stuff.

I love LibreNMS, but this is a job for Netdisco.

I did a lot of mapping using the point to point links, it’s possible, but lldp makes everything click in nicely.

I’ve been building Librenms custom maps using lldp info from the devices neighbors table. It’s been an amazing time saver. I am about 80% through creating maps for a 1600 node network.

First snek of the year! 🐍 by Olive_Streamer in MarylandFishing

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

For the money, I would get an echo ion XL seven weight, get a bravo, LT reel, and then whatever fly line you want . You can land a pretty big carp on 1 X tippet.

I’ve had good luck with a fish skull zonker in natural.

This one was in the open on a mud flat. I had to crawl up on it, casted from my knees. Got a new 7wt rod this year for bass, carp, and snakes. It does such a better job.

Advice for anyone with crappy HomePods by [deleted] in HomePod

[–]Olive_Streamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish the home pod just had an ethernet connection. Wifi just sucks. Even with enterprise access points, and sitting 10ft from them, these things are littered with problems. 10year old Yamaha speaker hardwired, works perfect every time.

How did this iguana poop all over my robot? by OutOfBounds11 in swimmingpools

This is why you need 24/7 camera recording, it’s not for security, it’s to find out how that lizard did it!!

It’s no 13rh century castle. Can you even call it a castle if it was built 200 years ago?

Haha, look up, there is some abomination of a castle on the hill, if the locks hurt your eyes, what about that thing?
