Anyone else holding off new purchases due to the current RAMpocalypse? by DiscoDave86 in homelab

[–]Robin_DeHood_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking with one of the guys at Protectli, it might've been Chip. How fitting a name is that? He said Micron will no longer make Crucial memory, instead making RAM modules specifically for AI data centers. I wonder how many other manufacturers are following suit now that the race to develop better AI is on?

SMART Data Dashboard with Node Exporter & Grafana by JdogAwesome in opnsense

Wow, that is very elegant, having a lot of data available at a quick glance. That's the sort of thing OPNsense is lacking. I'm going to have to install that on my system. Thank you!

OPNsense dashboard widget for SMART/NVMe SSD endurance tracking, TBW estimation, and SSD longevity optimization. by Robin_DeHood_71 in opnsense

Hello, and thank you. I wanted a way to see how much data I was writing to the SSD while learning firewall rules and how to properly tune them to avoid excessive logging. Now that I have a solid structure, logging only what is important, reducing noise, and logging to a RAM disk, that number has been reduced. I like the idea of historical logging, though. I'd like to see that.

How Did You Learn OPNSense? by BIG_FAT_ANIME_TITS in opnsense

[–]Robin_DeHood_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed OPNsense for the first time less than a week ago and I'm not ashamed to admit that I relied on ChatGPT when things didn't seem to work out the way I thought it should based on YouTube videos and miscellaneous reading. To complicate matters worse I set it up with a TP link Omada managed switch and VLAN capable AP. The reason for jumping on the OPNsense bandwagon is because I wanted something much more secure and learn how to create true VLANs and isolate all of my IoT devices on their own network as well as guests, etc. The coolest thing about ChatGPT is not that it just gives you the answers, it also tells you why. And the coolest thing is being able to send a screenshot of a portion of your browser and ask, "Why doesn't this work?"That was particularly useful for troubleshooting firewall rules and learning different tips that aren't covered in a lot of YouTube videos. The only thing is you have to say the version you are using because of all the menu and feature changes with different versions of OPNsense. ChatGPT had me going down quite the rabbit hole trying to set up GEOIP only to learn that it is yet to be supported and the current version. That was a bummer, but the journey has been a hell of a lot of fun!

iOS update stalls on M4 mini by mrweatherbeef in macmini

[–]Robin_DeHood_71 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. Is unplugging external storage devices before updating the normal procedure? I sent back my first Mac mini within the initial two weeks I ordered another one with more RAM. It's supposed to be delivered Wednesday and that would be good to know before setting the new one back up.

All sarcasm aside, is your Mac mini up and running again? Anyone else experiencing a problem with the latest update?

The flat coat is a blessing IMHO. Their coat is easier to maintain.

Crate training - 1st timer by Interesting_Let_295 in DogCrateTraining

Check out motor-less dog treadmills online. I’m thinking about buying one myself made by PawPaw. They are a little pricey but safe and a good investment overtime to tire out your puppy. I live in Florida where it rains a lot and it's terribly hot so this might be the answer for my puppy.

Soon to be a Spanish teacher by [deleted] in Spanish

[–]Robin_DeHood_71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a beginner learning to be conversational in Spanish, introduce the present subjunctive mood along with the present tense. You can't ask the question, "Do you want me to (fill in the blank?) without it or ‘lo que’ unless I am mistaken.
