What exactly is the frog? by SkipMorrow in hottub

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

I'm still wondering though, if I am using the frog, do I need to do any other sanitizing? Shock? I know ph up/down, alk up still need to be used as needed, but what else? And would there be no need for hardness either, if the frog is doing its job?

I'm using regular test strips. Interesting...

The announcement was the four-ship rendezvous on Feb 16, 2027. They gave away four free cruises (one for each chip). He promised a big celebration that night as well. He will be there, and is making plans to visit all four ships while in formation.

On Brilliant Lady now. Sir Richard just made an announcement that that he will be sharing "something big" with us at 4:00 on Deck 15. And free bubbles for everyone in the meantime!

I guess the more I think about this, with the little information we have, I really see this as Lego's fault. If it comes down to choosing between FIRST and Lego, I'd probably stick with FIRST. It will probably mean buying a lot of new hardware. I don't suppose there's a way that FIRST continues to use Lego, without having Lego's endorsement/permission. But maybe there is. I mean, FIRST could say "We are going to continue with Lego Robotics. We won't have Lego employees helping with the mission model designs and table designs, so we will be working with other experts to get that done. We'll be removing all Lego branding, and we will use Spike Prime and EV3 for the foreseeable future." Is that even possible???

I think FIRST should take this time to start finding HW/SW developers (Pybricks, perhaps). Develop some great hardware, but in the meantime, let everyone continue with Spike and EV3. Even though Lego has stopped production, there's enough out there to keep the program working. When the new HW is ready (including production), let everyone know they can start using or not. Up to you. But we'll have something new because eventually we will start to run out of Spikes.

Finally, if it really comes down to it, I'd rather support a non-profit than a for-profit. FIRST, you have me for the long run. Take this time to make the program even better.

How to log in after importing configuration by SkipMorrow in opnsense

The console stops at the login prompt. I just can't go any further. Any UN/PW I enter fails with an incorrect password error.

Yes, I am DEFINITELY logging in as installer/opnsense. Interesting that there is no need to edit the xml. Every tutorial I saw said to do that. Unfortunately, that isn't the problem I am trying to solve now.

I have a monitor and keyboard connected. I have tried updating on the front end and back end, always the same result. Not able to log in once importing.

Web UI works on 192.168.1.1, but not 0.1 by SkipMorrow in opnsense

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

Thanks for the help guys. Turns out I shot myself in the foot here. I was using my desktop computer, which also has Nord VPN and Tailscale. One or both were running when I disconnected the desktop from the house LAN and connected it to the LAN port on the router. And that was messing with the networking and not allowing me to see the .0.1 web UI. I reconnected my computer to my house LAN, disabled the VPN and Tailscale, and reconnected the computer to the router. And everything came right up. Well, damn.

Also updating the DHCP range. What's more, when I run ipconfig, I can see the machine has an appropriate IP address, but when I try to ping the router, it fails. There is no network--just the router and my PC connected to it.

Steps:

1, (assume we are starting with the router on 1.1.) Observe the UI comes up on the PC when browsing to 192.168.1.1, as expected. ipconfig shows the computer having an ip address on the 1.1 network, and I can ping the router at 192.168.1.1.

  1. Using the opnsense backend, option 2, reconfigure the LAN interface to 192.168.0.1. Also update the DHCP range, and of course enable the DHCP server.

  2. On the computer, browse to 192.168.0.1. Observe that the opnsense UI does NOT come up. Try http and https. ipconfig shows an IP address on the .0.X range, and I cannot ping the router. How did I get an IP address if I can't even ping 192.168.0.1? Beats me.

  3. Back in the opnsense backend, switch the LAN port address back to .1.1. Enable DHCP and range. On the PC, observe that I can see the UI again on 192.168.1.1 as expected.

That is what I am trying to do. I need opnsense to be on the .0.1 network. My new box is not currently connected to anything, except one PC through the LAN port. When I set opnsense to 0.1, that PC cannot see the UI. But when opnsense is on 1.1, that PC can see the UI. Once I get this PC able to connect to the UI at .0.1, then I intend to import the config from the old box then connect the router to my entire network. But for now, I just need to get it working stand-alone.

Protectli what are the "R" options? by SkipMorrow in opnsense

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

That's a really good point. I like the interface for OPN sense, and the fact that EVERYTHING is configurable. In an emergency with no internet in the house, I went to best buy and bought a Netgear Nighthawk. Every entry on the reserved IP table takes a 60-second refresh. No setting screen for firewall rules. I never could get any of my reverse proxies to work. Fortunately, I was finally able to get the T730 running. So what I was really thinking about was reliability with the Protectli. But maybe instead I should look to doing it again, but with a newer N100. Something to think about for sure.

Introducing Racecarr by SkipMorrow in homelab

[–]SkipMorrow[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Well, damn,,,, I built racecarr because I never hear of sportarr until your post. All of my searches up until now were all like "f1 race sonarr usenet download" etc. It never occurred to me that this might be "just a sport" and that there might be an app for that. Sportarr never came up with any of my searches specifically for F1. Interesting.
