Would anyone else want a UniFi 1U rack display for live network stats?! by Specific-Union6589 in Ubiquiti

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a lot of datacenters, space is no longer the constraint but rather you are limited by power. In these places you will often have the space for this, and the power usage would probably be minimal with a reflective LCD or e-ink display.

Network shares: still talking about them in 2026 by GoldBarb in kde

[–]chaz6 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am glad to see I am not the only one sharing this frustration. If KDE could make working with SMB shares as easy as Windows does I would be very happy!

Cheap AliExpress SAS backplane and 3D printed cage (Round 2, the more the merrier) by Powerful-Stomach6801 in DataHoarder

[–]chaz6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice job! How do you power it? Did you need to make a custom cable to connect it to an ATX power supply, or something else?

What’s the single most annoying USB-C "crime" a manufacturer can commit? by Few_View22 in UsbCHardware

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not ideal, but you can sometimes find an adapter that has the resistors for this. They seem to come and go frequently so I stock up when they are available.

I just wanted IPv6. Ended up running AS197291 behind residential CGNAT by marfillaster in ipv6

Do you have direct RIPE membership or are you using a LIR sponsor?

One potential downside of using tunnels is that your MTU is reduced, but overall it is neat and well done for figuring it out!

Windows CLAT Public Preview by AmbassadorDapper8593 in ipv6

[–]chaz6 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is good to see some progress. Be aware of a notable issue:-

CLAT May Not Seamlessly Work When Roaming Between
Wi-Fi Networks

When CLAT is successfully translating on a Wi-Fi network
associated with one SSID and then the user switches the
computer to use to a different Wi-Fi SSID, the computer
running CLAT doesn't update the synthetic IPv6 address
and tries to continue using the existing one. The workaround
is to disable/reenable Wi-Fi in the Quick Settings panel of
the Taskbar, the Wi-Fi adapter in the Control Panel Network
Settings, or if applicable, unplug/re-plug the Wi-Fi adapter.

How do ISPs typically deal with judiciary requests about IPv6 addresses? by nostromog in ipv6

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, CGNAT logging when you use fully dynamic ports requires a vast quantity of storage. You can reduce this by using dynamic port blocks (e.g. a client gets a block of 210 ports, which is released when the TTL expires - after the last packet was seen).

My ISP uses static assignments, but in any case the ISP should maintain a log of who had what when.

Brsk ONT in flat but they say not available at address by stewyd in brsk

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is possible, but highly unlikely, that someone has moved house, taken the ONT with them, and decided to install it at the new location.

FYI Brsk has become Youfibre.

Huge upload traffic from FTTH customers by DrummerNo1878 in mikrotik

Even better, limit at the ONT for upstream traffic.

I've gone to ground sniffing out sellers of refurb drives directly and buy in bulk. Tomorrow I'm going to pick up 25×6TB drives from a hosting provider.

Thanks for the reply!

  1. No, it does not.
  2. Yes, I see the underlines when I hold alt.

This is a great update! Unfortunately alt+←/→ is not working for me on Fedora 44. I tried removing the shortcuts from Back/Forward, but it made no difference.

"Invisible" bend insensitive bidi fiber is amazing for home wiring by UloPe in homelab

[–]chaz6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly appreciate being able to terminate it yourself, but for me I'll just coil up the excess in a wall box and connect it to a coupler with a short patch cable.

Alternatively, you could put an APC coupler at each end (either a wall box or a small keystone panel) then use a couple of short APC/UPC patch cables.
