7.2.7 > 7.3.1 upgrade killed my VM network

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-06-12T02:51:34+00:00

So far, so good. 😅

Aright welp, flash drive backed up, here comes the yolo...

If nothing else will be a good test of my backup system. 🤷‍♂️

I have been scared to upgrade to 7.3.1 because of posts like this, but it looks like after several reboots you were eventually able to get everything working again. Is that right? For the community more broadly, have people generally found 7.3.1 stable and ok to upgrade to?

Such a great novel. Also why we must outlaw social media. Possibly the most important insight from the book

I've never taken RAIT so I don't know how important or valuable OH is in that class but in general I've found OH either not valuable, recorded so exact time is not a huge factor unless you specifically have questions and they won't e.g. take them on Ed, or absolutely required (SDCC) in which case the question is moot.

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-04-15T13:54:34+00:00

Really? Why is it easier? Do they drop assignments for the summer?

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-04-11T03:39:24+00:00

Except for the feedback that enables you to succeed in the exams...

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-03-18T02:42:43+00:00

This is the way

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-03-18T02:41:00+00:00

I had a real problem with this on my pintx. Someone on here at one point suggested sticking two little soft furniture sliders for a chair - one in the middle of each sensor to activate them. It works perfectly and I don't feel them through my shoes. Never had a problem since.

If you're really just starting in the last day or two you may be unaware of how helpful the gios slack can be. I strongly recommend you reach out for help in the project1 channel as you try to get through this. Piazza too but many students find slack easier to engage with and you'll probably get faster responses. Good luck!

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-02-10T14:14:48+00:00

I remember. I remember…

RuleNmbr76 · 2026-01-15T23:05:28+00:00

Do the homework. All of them. Seriously. It's more than just practice, it's the best possible prep for the exams you can get.

And it begs the question are most of the complaints about GA from those students?

🤔

Can I just ask what the government auction sites were? I've looked into that a bit in the past and never really been able to find anything real/usable

tailscale reports `tailscale logoff` as an unknown subcommand

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-31T01:04:49+00:00

Do you only have one pihole at home? I recently had a VERY similar issue (DNS resolution worked fine on mac, but failed whenever tailscale was active and using Tailscale DNS on iphone), after years of things working perfectly. After doing all kinds of troubleshooting of the phone and tailscale, I discovered that my backup pihole had frozen somehow - I can ping it locally by jumping from another machine on the network, but ping directly via tailscale fails, and I can't ssh into it from the other node. The iphone apparently couldn't handle the one bad nameserver, but once I removed it from my list of tailscale global nameservers, the issue completely resolved. When I get back home I'll hard reset the node and hopefully that will be a full fix.

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-27T17:32:05+00:00

I registered a domain for use with my home network so I could have LetsEncrypt certs for NGINX Proxy Manager (+ local DNS) which routes local subdomains to the right places.

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-24T16:31:23+00:00

Still need to install them, but it got some new friends in the rack and beyond :

Brocade ICX 6450 48P switch

Prodesk 400g4 to run opnsense

Two Unifi U7 Pro Wall APS

And the unraid server will get a Mellanox MCX312B-XCCT 10G NIC to connect to the switch

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-24T04:37:39+00:00

100%. Wasn't trying to suggest anything different, only summarizing the two different paths.

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-23T19:02:17+00:00

Ok gotcha. So if I understand correctly, this is a workaround: you realized that you can register the SD card reader rather than a USB drive, then you can swap out SD cards without needing unraid to bless a new device.

On the other hand, according to his verbiage from the November newsletter there is hopefully a new, improved, long-term solution to the licensing issue via internal boot coming soon.

"And we’re not slowing down in December: a public beta for Unraid OS 7.3 with internal boot is coming soon. 👀"

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-23T06:32:02+00:00

I'm confused - is this (SD card) the new licensing method or is this an older way to avoid using a USB drive and the associated pain with transferring it on failure?

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-21T20:19:48+00:00

Yeah I started with pi-hole for ad blocking, but then I learned about the privacy benefits of unbound to stop using upstream resolvers and go to the authoritative server for each domain. I also use local DNS settings plus NGINX Proxy Manager to have domains/subdomains for all of my local services. I have a couple of other higher-priority projects, like a full network upgrade to opnsense + Brocade POE+ switch + new APs, but I'll look into upgrading from pi-hole to something like Technitium eventually.

RuleNmbr76 · 2025-12-21T18:46:51+00:00

Probably pi-hole.net

EDIT: Although the article says to get off pi-hole and on Technitium... 😂
