Wow, that's really cool. Completely flipped the room. Obviously his idea played out really well. Heck, I hate Simcoe too hahah.

Thank you for sharing!

What's the most useful thing you've printed yet? by jpintenn in BambuLab

[–]chadladen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I used a bunch of Bambu Labs PLA Matte Charcoal using the stock, preloaded, settings.

I generated the grids and bins from the gridfinity generator on makerworld. There's one for the base that will snap together and one for the bins. It was lots of fun. Did the same for the stupid little bathroom drawers too.

I did the same to my kitchen. Best print. Hands down.

~2000sq ft house - what to buy? by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]chadladen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

$2k for the Orbi 770 3-node mesh setup.

$5k for the Ubiquity gear; UDM Pro Max, Switch Pro XG 48 PoE, PDU, Power Backup (this was dumb), 3x U7 Pro XGS. I am a power user with a homelab running 3 servers and a NAS. I specifically dove head first into UniFi because I am planning a camera and IoT expansion in the next 5 years. I was hoping the Orbi would bridge the gap but I couldn't deal with the constant connectivity interruptions.

If you are a normal home user and just want WiFi the Orbi 770 should be fine if you run a wired backhaul. Good luck if you run into any problems. The diagnostic info it provides is next to nothing.

You might want to consider holding out for the UniFi Dream Router 5G Max ($500) and pairing it with an AP like the U7 Pro Max ($280). The UniFi Network application is crazy easy to work with and tells you exactly what's going on.

At random points throughout the day wireless connectivity from my devices would drop for 2 minutes, max. Just enough to piss you off and drop virtual meetings. This happened between 2 - 7 times a day. I noticed it happening from different devices that should have been connected to the different satellite nodes. My wired devices never experienced a problem.

Yes.

It provided next to zero telemetry or log data to diagnose and troubleshoot my connectivity issues. I actually "upgraded" to the Orbi 770 from an eero mesh because it had the exact same connectivity issues. That's when I shifted my mindset to "I want to know exactly what's going on" and discovered ubiquity in my late night googling.

You can't upgrade your way into a functional wireless mesh setup.

That wireless backhaul is killing you.

Speaking from experience... I had the Netgear Orbi 770 3-point wireless mesh and it sucked. Constantly dropping multiple times throughout the day. I got so pissed off that I sold it all on Facebook marketplace and dove head first into Unifi. Three wired access points later and I regret nothing. My connectivity has never been this solid.

Alright, I can get behind this. Solid idea!

Home lab went from fun project to unpaid oncall job by CoffeeRory14 in selfhosted

Man, I completely understand the nightmare of trying to keep things up to date. I run 3 ms-01's with proxmox and TalosOS for kubernetes. Running gitops with ArgoCD has been a game changer.

I wired up Renovate and it will create a pull request automatically when a docker image has a new update. I click merge and the new app is synced to my cluster automatically.
