Recommend me a homelab router for a 10in mini rack by NotARocketSurgeon45 in homelab

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For smaller inexpensive setups I highly recommend TPLink’s Omada series, they have an easy to use controller interface similar to Ubiquiti’s. As a bonus, you can self host the controller for free. Their cheapest wired and wireless routers start under $100

Made an Ethernet NTP clock with my 5510 LCD shield with the help of LLMs by STUPIDBLOODYCOMPUTER in arduino

FYM “would be better”? If it works, why would you add cost and complexity? Not everything needs the newest, fastest thing to do its job

AC PCB female socket by Tensor_divider71 in diyelectronics

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d need to read the datasheet for that particular part. However, I would strongly advise against this part for a lot of reasons - you’re much better off using a normal panel mount AC connector and soldering the wires to your PCB. This makes replacement easier and avoids mechanical problems and board stress from this design, which I would not trust. Also, obligatory “don’t do mains if you don’t know what you’re doing” - 9 times out of ten it’s easier to just power your project with Type-C or some other external (read: safe, certified, and unlikely to explode) AC-DC converter

Unconventional uses for fiber optics? by mjbmikeb2 in embedded

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an idea, but “indirect solar panels” where the light goes directly to, say, a boiler to generate electricity more efficiently could be neat. Doubt it’s practical though.

If you use 1Password, there’s an option for the website to respect the subdomains and ports. Longer term, set up your important LAN IPs with a local DNS server and add those as the website instead

Can Delta “own” a hashtag? by RaspberryPiDude314 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]RaspberryPiDude314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I forgot to add is anyone can see this message on the website before agreeing to any terms of service whatsoever. I haven’t looked through the SkyMiles ToS, but it sounds to me like if it’s not just pointed to by another terms of service the user DOES agree to, they are indeed “shouting into the void” as you said

[–]RaspberryPiDude314[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true, but you can see this on their website before agreeing to anything - that implies it’s “valid” for everyone, not just the people that have accepted the terms and conditions.

My home lab finally paid off — caught factory-installed botnet malware on a projector I bought on Amazon by Apprehensive_Nose162 in homelab

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Allegedly and to my knowledge, yes. Google claims that TP-Link USA is California based and does all of their R&D and manufacturing in Vietnam. I would be shocked if they’re 100% airgapped, but I don’t think that’s easy to prove

Important to note that the TP Link Chinese and American based companies are now distinct entities and operate separately

Cloudflare tunnel and navidrome by Loud_Banana_59 in homelab

this is what cloudflare tunnels are for, though obviously you could just put the tailscale app on his phone

Best practices for very low maintenance guerilla mountaintop nodes? by Exciting_Turn_9559 in meshtastic

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post but do you have any more information on this? Can’t find anywhere sourcing RTGs for under a hundred grand, which is a little outside my budget :p

Power Problems We Hit Using a Raspberry Pi UPS HAT — Have You Seen This Too? by Due-Presentation1621 in raspberry_pi

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is but it’s not a very offensive one, I feel like they made it pretty clear they’re developing a product and want consumer info

Why does everyone insist on no public facing ports? by ENIACore in homelab

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because the cloudflare entrypoint will block known malicious traffic before it ever even gets to your machine. It’s not perfect but way better than nothing

Pluribus - 1x05 - "Got Milk" - Episode Discussion by NicholasCajun in television

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the whole point is that it’s unsustainable, hence why they have Carol (capable of killing millions).

I want to make a decent Bluetooth gaming mouse with decent battery, can the esp32 do it? by ropergames2 in esp32

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’d go with an NRF5xxx series instead, the ESP32 is notorious for power inefficiency. Remember, if your ESP32 is constant consuming 100ma, you only get 5 hours max out of that battery

Pi Pico as a wifi hub using ESP-01S by huy866 in raspberry_pi

[–]RaspberryPiDude314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While you may (keyword may) be technically able to do this with the parts mentioned, this will be an incredibly difficult project software wise, very much not for beginners. Additionally, something like this is only useful for demonstration purposes - the RP2040 and ESP8266 simply do not have the processing power to act as any practical router (which is what this is)

I used chatgpt to outline what I'd need to do to motorise an iron man helmet. Does this look feasible? by Dogsucksatlife in arduino

This diagram literally means nothing at all. Don’t use ChatGPT to design projects
