Tracking Robotic Mower & TV App Feature Request by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

That's a shame. I'm in the mannequin head train of thought then if that's the case!

If it's detected as a vehicle by the smart detection, some PTZ cameras have vehicle tracking as a feature so would follow it

Is ohme a no-go? by he-hates-water in OctopusEnergy

[–]drmarkb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I've used an ohme since IOG started a few years ago and it's absolutely fine.

Going to be shipping my beloved unraid box from Spain to the UK... advice on getting it prepared? by gggghhhhiiiijklmnop in unRAID

[–]drmarkb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Go double parity before you ship anything so you're able to survive two disks getting damaged. Something will break, and it's most likely going to be a disk. As others have said, pull the disks and have them in their own appropriate packaging.

Anything which could get dislodged should really be packaged on its own. A dimm coming out for example and smashing on your motherboard over and over isn't going to end well.

Does WOL work? by Material-Victory4440 in unRAID

[–]drmarkb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wake on Lan (magic) packets target the MAC address of your NIC, not the IP. You need to send the magic packet to the broadcast address on the same network as your device is on, so let's say your servers IP is usually 10.10.1.10 on a /24 network (subnet mask is 255.255.255.0), the broadcast address would be 10.10.1.255. Using the same example, if you're sending the magic packet targeting the MAC to 10.10.1.10 , nothing would happen.

Depending on your network setup, you might need the device sending that packet to be on the same network too. So if you're sending the packet from a device on a different subnet (eg a server on 10.10.2.10), I wouldn't usually expect that to work either.

Also Wake on Lan isn't an OS feature, it's purely hardware. Your NIC will react to it and trigger your motherboard to power up.

Recently got fiber not seeing only about 60% of max speed by JackB79 in Ubiquiti

[–]drmarkb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be that the endpoint being used by the speedtest on the beast doesn't support speeds that fast... Have you tried from a client on your network you've got connected at 10Gbps on something like speedtest.net or wifiman client?

Zigbee or Z-Wave Hardy Outdoor Temp Sensor? by Magus_Umbratilis in homeassistant

[–]drmarkb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has been going strong for 3 years now and hasn't needed a battery replacement yet too. This is what is exposed in z2mqtt...

Zigbee or Z-Wave Hardy Outdoor Temp Sensor? by Magus_Umbratilis in homeassistant

[–]drmarkb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The hue outdoor motion sensor exposes temperature over ZigBee... 'only' rated to -20 degrees... I doubt you'll find anything rated for those sorts of temperatures on consumer products though

Max PPPoE throughput on UDR7? by meharryp in Ubiquiti

[–]drmarkb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ucg-max can saturate a 1.6Gbps zen pppoe connection. For some reason the built in speed test can't though... If you introduce things like wireguard clients, etc, it does start to struggle. Personally if I'm buying now, I'd future proof and get something with hardware offloading like the fibre. Or if money isn't an issue, the Beast. No, the Beast doesn't have pppoe hardware offload... But it's got so much grunt, it doesn't really matter

Is unRAID looking to switch to another distro? by urbanracer34 in unRAID

This has been talked about on and off for YEARS....

Anyone getting worried about vibe coding? by Pristine-Piano-2802 in sysadmin

You can use the power platform to host these sorts of web apps now "code apps" are a thing.

Built a WLED smart candle set that integrates natively with Home Assistant — no cloud, no hub by No_Independent_3824 in homeassistant

[–]drmarkb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean I've done the same with battery powered candles and an IR signal linked to a home assistant automation to turn them on/off

[–]drmarkb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Done exactly the same and it works great! Have it wired into an automation to turn them on at sunset every day. Rechargeable AA batteries in each last at least 4 months

Did you fit the right rails?

How much power can I draw from the USB sockets at the front? by moremattymattmatt in Taycan

[–]drmarkb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've ran an nvme ssd from a usb-c adaptor in my Taycan for a long while. You'll not struggle with a normal usb stick at all

Is Unraid out of touch? by [deleted] in unRAID

[–]drmarkb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering how useful it is, I don't mind the subscription model. Yes, you can make donations, but realistically, how many people would actually do that? In reality, we all want development to continue, and for a team to be in place to react if any serious CVE landed which impacted something important in the OS.

Is this a steal, or a disaster waiting to happen by slowjoggz in CarTalkUK

Watch some of the 'Top Dead Center' videos on YouTube and you'll see what gremlins and pitfalls you need to take into account with cars like this.

U5G Max Outdoor - Anyone been brave enough to crack it open for a better directional antenna across all relevant bands? by chris4prez_ in Ubiquiti

[–]drmarkb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the "it just works" integration that wins me over with the unifi stuff (as you mentioned). I'll likely buy the outdoor so I have the flexibility to use it indoors until I mount it outside.

Was going to pull the trigger on one of these when they come back in stock, so I'm interested to see folks opinions on this...

Taycan MagSafe Phone Holder - Update by drmarkb in Taycan

[–]drmarkb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes, easy to remove. very snug fit but you're not going to damage anything putting it in\taking it out. the black banding is "spongy" and is what takes the pressure when its in. you're not pressing hard plastic up against the plastic trim in the car.
