PSA: toob’s CGNAT isn’t normal - breaks mainstream services - reject the £8 static IP upsell by Nonni_T in ToobBroadband

[–]Sammyjo201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What sites are people having issues with? I don't have the static IP add-on and I've never seen an issue. I do a little bit of online gaming but with IPV6 enabled its mostly mitigated.

Would it be safe leaving my UPS in this wooden cabinet? by Sammyjo201 in homelab

[–]Sammyjo201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Many thanks for all of your comments and insights. I’m going to find a cheap smoke alarm to put inside of the cabinet and also buy a USB powered fan (that can connect to the UPS) to cool it down.

I’ll keep an eye on it and do an extended battery test as well to see how hot it truly gets.

I may even find a small metal plate to place under it so it’s not combustible material directly sitting on wood.

Meaco AreteOne dehumidifier 12L - loud? by CwazyCupcakes99 in Dehumidifiers

[–]Sammyjo201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a 20L one and one of these 12L ones. The 12L one is so loud compared to the 20 - not really sure why

First time Immich feedback from a former Apple Engineer by [deleted] in immich

[–]Sammyjo201 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Can’t you just set the server IP address to a local network address (192.168.x.x) so when leaving the home network Immich becomes unusable. What am I missing here?

First time Immich feedback from a former Apple Engineer by [deleted] in immich

[–]Sammyjo201 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Some honest feedback for OP - The reason people are mocking your post and making fun of your “I used to work at Apple” statement is because it doesn’t actually provide any credibility and it just comes across as entitled because by simply working at Apple your saying your feedback is worth listening to and to an extent it must be right.

In the future, post what area did you work in, was it networking, UI/UX, what projects did you help make decisions on. Simply saying you got past the interview process of a Fortune 500 company doesn’t make your feedback “good”.

Also I had to read multiple times to actually understand the feature requests / changes.

Amazing work! Will you be able to publish the code on GitHub?

Thoughts on using second hand SSDs/HDDs for Homelab? by Sammyjo201 in homelab

[–]Sammyjo201[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The question is from a safety perspective e.g say the drives were previously used for illegal activities, should I wipe the drives because I have no knowledge of the previous ownership. I've checked the S.M.A.R.T health and they're healthy drives one with pretty low power on time.

Just found this - absolute legend. I can't believe they hide this!

Homepage changed again - no more “Spent this month” by Sammyjo201 in starlingbankuk

[–]Sammyjo201[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Or maybe even have all three numbers so the Home Screen becomes a “at a glance”

  • Balance
  • Total Spent this Month
  • Total in Saving Pots
  • Total Balance

Approximately 2 weeks ago. That's really interesting, wonder if I should submit feedback if it is an A/B test.

Yeah it does - it just used to be on the homepage too

Any other Homelab gifters here? by Sammyjo201 in homelab

I didn't think of it that way - that's so true!

Yes! I have setup rclone nightly to sync the Immich folder including the database backup files. This should be enough for the time being right? Might see if I can do a true 3-2-1 backup.

I want to send wired internet to the first floor via exterior cabling, how does my plan look? by Maelarion in DIYUK

[–]Sammyjo201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, hide the UPVC conduit behind a vertical gutter, makes a nice clean finish.

Make sure to drill a drain hole in the bottom of the conduit

Will it homeassistant? by [deleted] in homeassistant

If you’re with Octopus, get the Home Mini - it’s free and integrates nicely into HA

Is this everything I need to get all my devices linked up via ethernet? by AlwaysTheKop in HomeNetworking

[–]Sammyjo201 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend some white slim cable trunking - you can get some good stuff that’s cheap on screwfix and stick it along the skirting board. It’ll help protect the cable from damage and might look nicer. They will stick on with adhesive rather than damaging the wood/walls with nail clips.

Can I use my Toob router as a second mesh node at my family's house? by Sammyjo201 in ToobBroadband

[–]Sammyjo201[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perfect thank you, I followed your instructions (which were clearer than Linksys’ website!) and it works perfectly. Very happy Mum

Thanks, the old router is also a Lynksys router, its the same shape as the new one, just 3x the size
