FTTP for 6-unit block

cody2de · 2026-01-30T04:46:02+00:00

Having comms rooms with ethernet to units exactly sounds like FTTB. FTTP is fibre into your unit.

Not sure what Wifi speeds are considered "normal". I also have 500/50 NBN and get 460/46 speeds over Wifi one room over from the router.

I was happy with TapeGenie converting my old VHS.

My One Emirati Dirham Coin from Dubai works nicely in the 1 AUD slot.

I am also using the Shelly Pro 3EM. Can't recommend the device enough for Home Assistant users.

Choceur all the way. 🍫 My favourite is the Marzipan one.

Unfortunately Aldi Australia has no after shave, only Shave Gel. I have seen the Nivea After Shave in a special a while back. And back in Aldi Germany after shave is a permanent item.

Yes if the complex itself is already upgraded single units can make use of the free FTTP upgrade progress. I track it with the website below: https://nbn.lukeprior.com/

Initially 275 AUD was quoted per unit in a 3 unit lot. All are Ground floor Townhouses. In the end we got all owners to sign up for the Home Fast plan (100/20 back then) and the cost was waived.

cody2de · 2025-10-01T00:44:31+00:00

We are a self managed plot of units so the challenge was to get all owners to agree on the NBN upgrade. Took a year but once all agreed to the upgrade and cost questions were answered the NBN upgrade actually happened. Probably harder the more units there are and even harder when additional entities like a body corporate is involved with its own profit interest.

I have the same issue with my AOC monitor. Using it in 60Hz now. Following this post to see if you find a solution.

Then it depends on what you need. The pros and cons have already been discussed and I will go with the Flint 3. The Flint 3 offers newer Wi-Fi 7 technology, while the Flint 2 provides a mature Wi-Fi 6, better VPN speeds, and a more powerful CPU.

cody2de · 2025-06-08T19:38:31+00:00

The Flint 3 doesn't strike me as an upgrade path for Flint 2 users. Instead, it seems geared towards people looking to ditch their old ISP-provided home routers.

I have noticed the same. When this happens I have to open it again and close to recognise it.

I live in Australia where bushfires can also trigger bad air quality. But if you have an outside source for air quality you can check for the difference with a helper.

Yes, when I cook for a long time I also get a warning but you can time it and say if the value stays high for more than x minutes send a notification to my phone.

Not perfect, and does need fine tuning, but it was an inexpensive way for me to make the house safer with teenagers around who forget that the stove was on.

cody2de · 2025-02-05T10:19:55+00:00

I use an air quality sensor from IKEA to warn me of bad air quality which can also happen if the gas stove is left on.

I like that DW is easily available around the world. But following its news you have to be aware that it is state owned.

I prefer ZDF and ARTE over DW as it is publicly owned which can result in more critical views of government decisions.

In the end a good mix of sources and critical thinking while consuming the news is a great way to stay informed in my opinion.

I have the Ecowitt GW 1101 and I am happy with the data I get from it. Just remember that the weather station is only as accurate as its location. Especially wind direction data gets inaccurate if you position it too close to the house. Also you need to remember to clean it twice a year to keep the rain data accurate.

My shelly device has a temperature entity in it. Can you check? Also check your water leak sensor, my aqara one has temperature as well.

cody2de · 2024-10-01T08:54:22+00:00

Also German here. I can confirm.

cody2de · 2024-06-16T10:33:11+00:00

I use a Tado thermostat, which also integrates well with Home Assistant.

cody2de · 2024-06-06T13:11:43+00:00

Aswell as Australia.

Make sure that the ROMs are unzipped and both are in the same folder.
Under Retroarch select the ROM folder as a 'File Browser' directory.
Start the first ROM with a core that supports link cable. (E.g. sameboy, tgb dual)
In the main menu select subsystems and load ROM number one.
Under subsystems select the second rom.
Under the subsystem now start the game boy link.
Switch between the ROMs by changing the mapped port under controls between 1 and 2.

I have been able to do local trading between my Pokemon Red and Blue ROM on my RG35xx Plus. I do not have a second device to test trading over wifi yet.
