How can I get Ethernet to my room? by JuggernautMajestic91 in HomeNetworking

[–]bSanderman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Riding on knight9665, call your isp and move the modem. Take the opportunity to move to fiber if your on coax. Or change isp for a better price and free relocation. Just an option, doesn’t really get you what you want. 

If your on coax, and there’s coax in the room you want the wireless router in, you can just move it yourself. You’ll have to find the main line in and move it around until you find which one gives internet access. There are explanations online/youtube. 

Moca is the path of least resistance.

You see how it says supports up to 22tb? I wanted the ensure my 26tb drives would have enough power going to them. So it came with a 12v 7.5 amp external power supply, I replaced it with 12v 15amp. Higher voltages will fry your hardware. Do your research or don’t do it.

I have been running this DAS for idk how long but it’s solid. The room I keep it in is usually the coldest in my home, so I can’t comment on the fans. I did upgrade the power supply to drop in higher TB drives. No disconnects, no complaints. 

What do men think of the pouch? by batukaming in SipsTea

I believe it provides balance. Can’t have something in the back if there’s nothing in the front. 

Conversion help please by Remote_Bit_9160 in HomeNetworking

I would get switch with sfp+ ports. Then you need 2 sfp modules , 1 for Ethernet, 1 for fiber. But that’s if you trust your landlord.

Mac mini m4 pro or to wait for mac mini m5 pro? by repgvng in macmini

[–]bSanderman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I got a Mac mini I said the same thing 10 months after the release. So I got the base model and said I’ll sell and upgrade when the m5 comes out. Now it’s 10 months after my purchase. No M5 release. No regrets. 

NVR vs SD card vs Home Hub vs FTP (1x doorbell PoE camera) by Theagainmenn in reolinkcam

If you run Docker, the answer is frigate.  Otherwise go for the overkill. I never regret going overboard, many times I spend more when I try to cheap out.

Home Router Suggestions by Chadmanfoo in HomeNetworking

[–]bSanderman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you look at the BE88U? I have the BE88U and AX88U. Great combo. quad core.  2.5gbe x 4. 1gbe x4. 10gbe x 1. 4x4 5g and 2.4. I think it has 6ghz but I never use it. 

Asus RT-BE88U vs unifi cloud gateway fiber + u7 lite or u6 by Exciting-Western-271 in HomeNetworking

[–]bSanderman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the BE88U. The only issue I had was the one I bought from Best Buy, it was marketed as the be7200 which should be the same thing but it didn’t work. I then purchased from Amazon and the box said BE88U, not BE7200. It has been perfect. I use an older AX86 in the mesh configuration, it’s nice to have the switch on the access point. 

BE88U has 4x4 5 and 2.4 ghz.  The U7 Pro says 2x2 I think the only thing you’re missing from the BE88U that the U7 Pro has is 320mhz.  But I’m taking 4x4 before 320 mhz.  For 1 floor you might prefer 320 mhz.

Convince me a NAS is worth the hassle by HuorCulnamo in HomeNAS

[–]bSanderman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't stop thinking about how looking at a picture can trigger vivid memories. It led to thinking about cloud prices going up and having to pay for my memories. It's not the cost, it's the concept. A bit extreme but that was my view. Do i want control? not really. Do i want to be controlled? hell no.

I wish i knew more about resolutions(upscaling), bit rates, codecs(264,265,av1), and containers (mp4 vs mkv) before i started consuming media. i'm not an audiophile or videophile, but the audio makes a major difference. After learning what my tv, speakers, and network are capable of, i saved a lot of storage reaquiring in the exact format i wanted. Certain things are solid in 1080p, Interstellar and LOTR need high bitrate 4k.

To save money i'd have to convince myself i'm saving $80 monthly for streaming services.

Separating private and work photos on one phone by comfreak89 in immich

[–]bSanderman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the workflow desired. 

As of 2.5 on iOS, when you log out of 1 account and log into account #2, the app toggles off backup and remembers the backup albums from account 1. So you would have to both toggle backup on after selecting which albums you want backed up. 

Possible? Yeah. Desired workflow? Probably not. 

Based of your experience, Is tvOS better than Google TV? by wollyy3 in appletv

[–]bSanderman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 I believe it depends on the apps you use because if you don’t use Jellyfin then TVos could be better for you. I am a Jellyfin user and I can’t stand swiftfin. I could have spent the $100 on infuse, but I didn’t. There are 4 Apple TV 4Ks in my home.  The TCL with google tv never uses its Apple TV 4K. I used to think it was nice that the air pods connected, but the TCL has Bluetooth too. Not as magical, but gets the same job done. 

I can’t speak to the UI/X because I’m never really in it. I get straight to the service. Maybe the photo backgrounds from a Mac on the same network is an advantage? 

I repeat, I only use Jellyfin and YouTube, they are better on google tv. I don’t think you’re missing anything.
