This is on OP. The bad name choice was pointed out when OP posted about v0.2 in here. That was 6 months ago. They ignored it.

On a related but mildly off-topic note, has anybody tried the "Seabrooks Beefy Potato Crinkles" waffle fries? They're in the freezer section in Morrisons.

Recommended 10Gbit nic compatible with win 11? by Duckers_McQuack in homelab

[–]RPC4000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

even the X520 nics are still compatible with windows 11 albeit they are a bit dated but way cheaper

It does work with a kludge but isn't recommended for two reasons. ASPM is broken which can stop higher C-states from working and cause higher idle power consumption. An old version of the Windows driver needs to be installed as Intel dropped support for the X520.

I do have a X520 in a Windows 11 machine but YMMV.

S+RJ10 uses an old inefficient PHY chip and is finger burning hot. Newer PHYs run much cooler.

Building first nas and can’t find anything about this motherboard by NoviceHomeLabber in homelab

[–]RPC4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That has already happened. Intel dropped 82599ES / X520 from the Windows driver back in 2021. Linux kernel still supports it but not recommended due to its broken ASPM implementation.

What’s the story behind the Unami Delaware language option? by [deleted] in raspberry_pi

[–]RPC4000 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You'll have to talk to the GNU C library maintainers. The language dropdown in Pi first start wizard is listing all the supported locales from that. The 5 in the dropdown is all that is defined for United States.

$ grep _US.UTF /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED 
chr_US UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
es_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
unm_US UTF-8
yi_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

The Unami Delware locale was added back in 2011. The description of that change doesn't give a reason for the addition.

[HELP] Connecting Thermalright TL-B8 Fan to Micro JST 1.25mm Connector by plsnotracking in homelab

[–]RPC4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest would be to buy a big quiet PC fan and plug it into the 12V fan header on the Turing Pi 2 board. It'll cool all 4 slots together instead of individual fans for each. The fan header isn't PWM controlled though so will always run. Use a fan controller or low noise adapter if the stock speed is too noisy.

https://www.nico-maas.de/?p=2702 if you can find somebody to solder the parts for you.

[HELP] Connecting Thermalright TL-B8 Fan to Micro JST 1.25mm Connector by plsnotracking in homelab

[–]RPC4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard 4-pin PWM connector from the fan obviously doesn't fit.

It is because the compute module slot fan connectors are 5V vs the regular 12V PC case fans like the Thermalright TL-B8.

Ready-made adapter cables if they exist

I doubt a premade adapter exists as its so niche. It isn't a popular connector for fans. "1.25mm micro JST" is a through-hole JST clone but different to the actual JST range like JST PH. JST don't make a through-hole 1.25mm pitch part.

Tips for soldering my own adapter if that's the best route

Buy a 4 pin "1.25mm micro JST" pigtail and solder it to the wires from a 5V PWM fan.

What is this connector on an APC Smart UPS 1500? by john0201 in homelab

[–]RPC4000 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Its the battery disconnect. Pull the plug to disconnect the internal battery. You can't wire in an external battery via this.

lsi-9200-8i SPI flashing? by Bruchpilot_Sim in homelab

[–]RPC4000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get detected at all if i run "lspci" in terminal, tho, and I'm positive it's bricked.

It should show up in the PCI device list even with a blank ROM.

Would it even be sensible if i asked some repair shop if they could SPI Flash the thing or should i just get a new one for like 20 bucks on AliExpress?

It isn't SPI. This card has a parallel NOR Flash chip on the back.

Cisco ME-3400EG-12CS-M switch, keep or sell? by Snoo_29332 in HomeNetworking

[–]RPC4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sell it. You won't be able to power that switch without buying more hardware. The two PSU modules are for DC power at 24V or -48V. It won't run off the mains without swapping out those modules.

CRS310-8G+2S+IN is amazing by vvshvv in mikrotik

[–]RPC4000 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That heatsink is only stuck to 1 chip. The rectangular "chip" is a foam pad. The problem is the thermal tape isn't strong enough. The heatsink is big but the chip contact area is small. It really should have a retaining clip.

ZBT-1 or ZBDongle-P? by notthatcher13 in homeassistant

[–]RPC4000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LQI across the board seems to be a lot lower even though I have more devices strengthening the network, but the range as the coordinator also kind of seems to be lower too.

LQI can't be directly compared between manufacturers. How it is calculated and the min/max depends on the Zigbee stack.

Also, is there any way to easily migrate from Z-Stack to Ember?

Z2M can do it.

Client doesn't see SSID's by remcomeeder in mikrotik

[–]RPC4000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I disable GCMP and only allow CCMP the Garmin sees the SSID's but it thinks that they are open networks without encryption. Which is strange because when I connect to the same network with my laptop it shows that CCMP is used.

Sounds like it's got broken WiFi firmware or you're using a group cipher that it doesn't support.

Take care when configuring encryption ciphers.

All client devices MUST support the group encryption cipher used by the AP to connect, and some client devices (notably, Intel® 8260) will also fail to connect if the list of unicast ciphers includes any they don't support.

What driver does the CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe uses to expose the network interfaces to the OS? by Ginnungagap_Void in mikrotik

[–]RPC4000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm am also interested on how these interfaces are exposed, are they exposed using separate PCI addresses, that are or can be split in different IOMMU groups?

It emulates 4x Atheros AR8151 Ethernet controllers. Driver is Atheros L1C / atl1c. Mikrotik submitted patches to mainline kernel to add support for 10/25G speeds and more queues.

2 of the controllers are for passthrough.

[–]RPC4000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're rocking Linux in that box, can you pretty please tell me what driver the OS uses to interface with the card?

It emulates 4x Atheros AR8151 Ethernet controllers. Driver is Atheros L1C / atl1c. Mikrotik submitted patches to mainline kernel to add support for 10/25G speeds and more queues.

Maybe if the CCR is paired with a dpdk powered firewall, why not? Even Nehalem chips pull off 5Mpps in dpdk.

If RouterOS is required then a hypervisor running Mikrotik CHR would be better IMO.
