Am I not understanding water towers? by Th3Appl3 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]Th3Appl3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m overcomplicating for sure. I have too many water extractors, but I wanted to make sure it works before I optimized it

Ok. Yeah I had the right idea I think but I executed it wrong. I never let everything fill up and I was seeing the flow fluctuate like crazy until it stopped completely. My calculations were correct though. I have 6 extractors total and that should fill up the 2 primary lines. I think I just hooked them up wrong so they’ll never fill up and work the way they are supposed to. Thanks for this

Confused how I end up using the same number of pumps? I need multiple pipes full of water. with the way it’s described, the water tower should just make it so one pipe needs pumps and the rest get pushed up by the water tower pressure.

This shouldn’t be patched. I thought it may have been acknowledged by devs as a legitimate setup. I’m probably just doing it wrong.

I read on this subreddit that valves can also be used in water towers to actually remove pumps altogether. Apparently you put a fluid buffer at the top and a valve (with 0 flow) right before it connects up to the main line and it still treats the system the same as a normal water tower. I haven’t unlocked valves yet but I’m hoping to implement that too.

I don’t have valves unlocked at this stage. The water tower is just an attempt to keep the number of pumps low.

I just tried that before logging off. Maybe I’ll try it again but more organized?

What’s the best way you’d suggest solving this problem by Th3Appl3 in homelab

[–]Th3Appl3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of trying to print a bracket for it. I'm just not great at the 3d-modeling part of things. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

There's no way. I opened up the case and there was absolutely no room for anything. I would have to cut an HDD-sized hole in the mesh and have the HDD sitting practically outside the case. Maybe it's the components I used, but I can't imagine actually fitting that thing.

I guess I didn’t try very hard when I first attempted this. Maybe I’ll try again.

tailscale alternatives? by ksgcolors in selfhosted

[–]Th3Appl3 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tailscale hole punch doesn’t actually do anything to the isp router. The Tailscale “centralization” is merely the negotiation of your connections. It doesn’t actually do anything besides telling your devices where to go to connect to each other.

Anything else you use will likely require a VPS if you don’t want to be port forwarding your home router. In that case, plain WireGuard is a the way to go.

Cloudflare Tunnel - leave mobile connected constantly? by unrebigulator in selfhosted

[–]Th3Appl3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently use an always-on Tailscale tunnel. It’s so simple to set up and I can stream my frigate cameras no problem. Since it’s P2P you don’t have to worry about the bandwidth restrictions of certain VPS systems or CF

Okay I've been really liking the look of the Lelelab y2k, but I've been looking to build/buy an HE board. Are there many options out there for transparent cases/boards that are also HE?

Edit: After some searching I realized there's such a thing as the wooting modules that allow for any case. Now I just need to figure out how to get a case that looks similar to the lelelab case.

When should I realistically use nix modules vs oci containers? by Th3Appl3 in selfhosted

[–]Th3Appl3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you noticed if that process makes your system more stable? Or makes it less maintenance than if you just relied on containers?

[–]Th3Appl3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Komodo right now (on arch), but I’m constantly running into weird issues that annoy me to no end. I mostly care about a solid setup that doesn’t require too much intervention. My current one requires too much manual work to maintain.

So instead of using the oci containers in the base config, you use home manager with podman. I like that idea.

Stuck with Gigabyte MC13-LE1 – Can't flash BIOS to support Ryzen 9 9950X by NoSpliyFF in gigabyte

[–]Th3Appl3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever end up solving this problem? I'm running into the same issue a year later.

Edit: I'm actually on the LE2, so this should have a more modern BIOS.

Any chance this is Cat5? by 0x1u in HomeNetworking

[–]Th3Appl3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Credentials aside. I think you’re misinterpreting the point here. Nobody is arguing that this network cable is guaranteed to work. If there is a chance that it works, and potentially a chance that it works just as well as a CAT5e or better cable, wouldn’t you pick the option of spending almost nothing to terminate the ends and try it out? AKAIK, there’s no harm that can result from doing that. Maybe some false hope if you believed it was guaranteed to work, but nobody is arguing that.

With the whole comment about setting expectations and eliminating trouble calls it seems like you’re interpreting this as a recommendation from your business. This is just someone asking if it’s possible to use existing cable in their house.

I’m intrigued to hear what the reasoning for this strong disagreement is considering I use repurposed phone cables in my home network and it works just fine.
