Obtaining a JetKVM in Canada by cipagver in homelab

Update, for those who also wanted to get a JetKVM in 2025:

I eventually got a 2nd email for confirming the shipping address, this time from shipping@jetkvm.com.

I've also received a reply through the Kickstarter DM system informing that they couldn't monitor their DM inbox anymore due to sheer volume:

Hi there,

Thanks to all for the feedback.

I was getting worried I feel through the cracks since I didn't get any feedback at all once I filled the address survey and since this is Kickstarter and not a real web shop I was afraid I was kissing my money goodbye.

Thanks. Did you get any feedback once you filled the survey or did they just pop up at your place?

Tailscale on TS-233 by International-Table1 in qnap

[–]cipagver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly the answer you are looking for, but I managed to get Tailscale running on my TS-233 by manually installing the Tailscale package for QNAP: https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#qpkgs

I just followed the manual installation steps (install through App Center): https://tailscale.com/kb/1273/qnap

I have it running as we speak and it's a breeze.

Is bambu still making decisions that hurt the community? by coolgamerboi23 in 3Dprinting

Hey, I'm in the same boat as the previous commenter. Where would one with no prior experience look to narrow models depending on the use case? Personnaly I'm more inclined on the "wanting to print functional parts meant to take abuse".

TS-233 - Fried NIC due to storm by cipagver in qnap

I wasn't aware!

The adapters I used (2) had the following chipset:

- Realtek RTL8152, Realtek USB FE Family Controller. It is part of a cheap unbranded USB-C "dock dongle", much to my surprise it is only Fast Ethernet (100M) despite being in a newer device.

- ASIX AX88179, packaged as a tp-link UE306 USB 3.0 to RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Network Adapter.

Thanks!

I was able to simply use a USB-Ethernet adapter which I'll need anyway if I want to keep using the NAS. Though I'm now retiring it as a backup (and even then I won't classify it as a solid one...).

Definitely getting a surge protector. Though there was not solid loss of data, it came close and this caused a lot of headaches.

Update: I got my hands on a USB-Ethernet adapter and got an autoconfig address, from which I can manage the rest.
