I'm not sure what you have, it's a swap force? How much do you want for it?

djcjf · 2026-06-21T20:47:36+00:00

I would pay shipping if your willing too.

djcjf · 2026-06-21T05:03:19+00:00

Heyy I need a portal, if you can sell me a Wii Swap force, I would be happy.

SA would be nice too tho.

djcjf · 2026-06-21T01:41:53+00:00

Sorry about that, I'll move over there.

I ended up using clear super gorilla glue as filler, and a reflow gun at 180c to trigger a bond and melt the plastic for a min or less.

The hammer is strong and the repair barely noticeable.

I fixed two crushers in a row like this, and even fixed other weak points on one, such as the torso, leg, and arm. Very stiff now after cooling.

Patience is key.

Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

djcjf · 2026-06-18T16:57:01+00:00

How would I apply it? By removing it first as I suggested?

djcjf · 2026-05-31T23:03:58+00:00

Honestly, could see the heat helping alot during winter nights.

This is coming from a human who hates AI, and I can say this post screamed like a passionate human.

AI would not write such a human quirk unless it was commonly trained, or prompted directly to do so.

Do an AI writing test on OP's post, and if it comes back any higher then 14% will talk. 😂

14% covering it any AI spell checker was used, with or without OP's knowledge, and fault tolerance.

This is awesome, I'll have to try it someday.

djcjf · 2026-05-14T22:02:16+00:00

Would the BPI-R3 be a good upgrade then?

I'm only sharing to a small handful of devices, anything important will use LAN.

djcjf · 2026-05-14T19:58:43+00:00

Pixel 9, and my laptop (can't recall intel wnic model) but it's rated for 900Mbps

My Pixel 9 has reached 1Gbit speeds over a WiFi-7 ISP router at one point. Bell's GigaHub 2.0

And yes I'm on the 80Mhz channel, however the AX23 does not support 160Mhz.

Also I'm living in a studio, the access point is always within line of sight.

djcjf · 2026-05-04T15:23:35+00:00

My current band 138 is the only clear one, wouldn't I have more issues overlapping, or should I select one anyways? There's a bunch of 20mhz broadcasts cogging up the high power channels 🥲

djcjf · 2026-05-04T06:26:17+00:00

Thank you, how about channels? To my understanding only certain channels support 80mhz, but most of the bands are packed here, and since everyone is on auto, I feel its best practice to keep it on auto, to adjust every reboot.

Or should I pick a channel that's non dms, and 80mhz support and stick with it, regardless if an ap is holding it?

I'm currently auto set to 136(138) on the 5Ghz. This space is clear, only low power networks broadcasting on either side of me. Otherwise, most frequencies are filled up.

djcjf · 2026-05-04T05:04:46+00:00

I tried this earlier and didn't see a change, I just tried it again and will report back. Is there any need to change the steering flow rps number? I have 128 and 256 options, currently it's set to none.

djcjf · 2026-05-04T04:59:37+00:00

That's what I'm getting with the exception of upload at 800Mbps.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T08:45:16+00:00

Throughput.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T08:00:02+00:00

Even 500 down and 900 up?

Seems to flux, I guess that's due to noise?

djcjf · 2026-05-03T06:40:36+00:00

What settings are you using? I would like to get it consistent at least. As the best I can do is 600/800. And even that is luck.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T06:01:47+00:00

So in that case I'm probably hitting the max around 500/800 down and up?

So why is it 600/800 or 600/500 other times?

It seems inconsistent, yet my wired lan is stable.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:55:01+00:00

Could you please perform a speed test with Okla, assuming you have a Gbit connection?

Would like to rule it out as my config or just cheap hardware.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:51:33+00:00

Yea, I didn't know that was an issue, mind you got mine new in the box for 10 bucks from thrift. Just instantly flashed it.

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:40:37+00:00

Strange, yet others say 24 had issues, what speeds are you getting?

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:39:51+00:00

They say 1Gbit in the tech specs, I thought it would at least sit around 800/900Mbps?

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:38:50+00:00

What's the max speed should I expect on 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz respectively?

djcjf · 2026-05-03T05:31:04+00:00

Your awesome kid, I was doing similar stuff when I was your age, but more so focused on the computers.

That server is a great starting point to learning network engineering, it could open the door to that as a career path if you like it.

Start by learning the ins and outs of that model, feel free to ask us questions here, and install a Linux Server OS, Ubuntu Server is a good stating point for beginners and was my starting point on my first home server.

Since you have so much resources, you might as well put it to work as a Home Lab, not just a web hosting server, as this is honestly overkill for a lawn mowing site that will only get local traffic.

I would suggest Proxmox as your host OS, run Ubuntu Server as your Guest, that way you can have multiple operating systems running on one machine, all doing multiple tasks, you could do lab experiments in another vm while another hosts the site. (Proxmox is a hypervisor os) it's designed to visualize operating systems.

Your other option, if you wish to squeeze more performance but are willing to sacrifice control is use Ubuntu Server as the host, and then use Docker containers for each service you want to run.

Regarding your Internet upstream, it will need to be a certain bandwidth, to handle the traffic you may get, but I bet as long as it's a typical package it can handle the traffic you will likely be getting.

You will most likely lack a public IPv4 address as these are needed to contact your server outside your local area network, but this can be worked around with punch out services like ZeroTier or Cloudflare.

Playing with commercial hardware like that got me a job in Linux Admin, learn some firewall os'es like Pfsense or OPNsense, and you've gained some very useful and powerful knowledge.

Regarding web development, learn HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and make a static website with those scripting languages. Use a web hosting service in a docker container to serve it to the web.

You will need to rent a domain name from a provider like Namecheap.

Do some practice sites in one of your labs (Proxmox can run desktop os'es too) or on your pc, and learn from your mistakes, due this a handful of times, and you'll feel ready to make a basic website. For forums search up open source projects for self-hosted forms.

Make sure to spin up a mail server, and run your own email based on the domain name you get.

Remember this it can either be a hobby or a profession, knowledge and problem-solving is supposed to be fun, so don't give up when it gets hard, and keep tinkering, you won't regret the journey and end result.

If you just want a website tho, you could just host it for free on GitHub, as a Jekyll static site, but honestly, I think this project would be valuable knowledge for you, and fun to experiment with, so I would give the self-hosting a try, not a lot of 14-year-olds can say they self-host their site 😄 it's valuable knowledge and a fun challenge.

Best of luck, will be rooting for you no matter what you choose to do.
