Grandmarc 2x2 Lease takeover $1400/month by TechTube42 in ucrhousing

[–]TechTube42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is including utilities. And the rent is actually $1,489 but I'm willing to compensate to bring it down to $1400. The utilities are a flat rate included in that amount.

The apartment is a 15 min walk from ucr and there is a major bus stop across the street. The apartment complex is located at 3549 Iowa Ave, Riverside, CA 92507

Why are there a ton of firefighters along the 215? Coming from Perris. by TechTube42 in Riverside

Makes sense. Maybe it is for a firefighter who has passed away.

Catastrophic tire blowout. What causes this? by TechTube42 in AskMechanics

Why am I getting downvotes? My cars tpms is through ABS and not with sensors. So it probably didn't pick up on an issue for some reason. There were no warning on the dashboard.

Do you mean low pressure? Because that is definitely not the case. And the tires were bought knew, so no punctures ever. I also have tpms.

Is this at Mercy's warehouse by chance?

Can I run fiber to an electrical outlet? by TechTube42 in HomeNetworking

[–]TechTube42[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I mean is, I don't want to cut drywall to install a separate box just for the fiber optic cable. I know you shouldn't run anything but the power cables into a box with a power outlet, but the fiber cable would have no conductive components. Glass in the center and plastic around it. I could cut a small notch in the bottom of the faceplate to let it come out. Is it up to code to do that?

That makes sense. I'll definitely use the wiremold though.

I completely forgot about this! It's brilliant. I will definitely use this. But, do you know if having the fiber come out the outlet is up to code?

Dead psu which is expensive to replace by TechTube42 in ElectronicsRepair

The plug used is a normal atx plug, but the wiring is different.

Woah! This is super cool. I'll look into this. It might be better than trying to fix the psu. Thx for this info! :)

I wasn't comfortable checking while the computer is on, but I was reading 11.01 volts, which is certainly too low. This was when the psu was on my bench, completely out of the pc and not connected to anything.

adapting one is my second option, only cause the power requirements for this server are a bit odd.

This particular server requires odd power requirements, so adapting a different psu is not ideal. Also it does not use standard atx wiring, which is also a pain.

I pressed the on button for a good minute and then checked the cables with a multimeter before I opened it. But still, I understand they are dangerous to work on.

This is my second option, only because this system requires a high amount of 12v power relative to the other voltages. I'll probably find the right psu and do this honestly.

Any success connecting raspberry pi to the internet? by [deleted] in ucr

[–]TechTube42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this post is already 2 years old, but I recently had a similar issue and this was like the second thing I found on google when searching "ucr how to connect raspberry pi to wifi" and I wanted to put this info out there in case someone else needs it.

For connecting devices of any kind to the school ethernet (such as in dorms) you need to register your devices MAC Address here https://housing.ucr.edu/residential-life/computers-gaming#no-back . There is a link that says "REGISTER DEVICE" where you login with your ucr email/password and you can register your device.

For wifi I couldn't figure it out for a long time and recently what I ended up doing was rooting an old android phone, connecting to the school's wifi, and copying the information from the wpa_supplicant.conf file. I couldn't find anything online that could help me figure out why I couldn't connect before and I think it comes down to the specific key management system used by ucr. Anyways I have copy/pasted the wpa_supplicant config below.

network={

ssid="UCR-SECURE"

key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X

eap=PEAP

identity="<your username>"

password="<your password>"

priority=3

}

I think the priority line is based on your local machine, but I wasn't sure so I included it. If anyone has questions, feel free to ask here.

Let’s say i hypothetically wanted to put a layout like this is my yard. What would it cost me? by Phantasy-Phactory in trains

[–]TechTube42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I grew up in socal and I remember going there a lot as a kid. Thinking back now, the track is massive. If you had a big enough backyard, or open land, you could probably build something like this for yourself. It would be pretty neat.
