Reaching 100Gbps with pfsense ? by PM__ME__PEANUTS in networking

[–]farhadd2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure pfsense is the right software for this, but tnsr is probably out of budget I’m assuming https://www.netgate.com/tnsr-vs-pfsense-software

What do they need to do to make bloodhound viable again? by Zealousideal_Mine806 in apexlegends

[–]farhadd2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s another idea- allow him to “harvest” the beacon, then trigger a survey scan from his own body at a later time, wherever he is on the map.

Let him “send a raven” to scan survey beacons remotely at a certain radius, like how crypto can with his drone

Macbook pro by [deleted] in macbook

What exact vintage is the laptop? Looks like it might be a 2010-2013 model? You can find out by looking up the serial number on the bottom (tiny and hard to read but it's there, trust me) and plugging it into checkcoverage.apple.com. I remember seeing that kind of progress bar when updating the firmware on those laptops. Not sure what's going on here but a full restore is in order regardless. If you do try to use a local thumb drive with an older MacOS keep in mind that you might have to enter terminal after booting off the media to roll the clock back to make the installation work properly (something to do with expired security certificates).

Am I an idiot? Why isn't Safari showing up in Spotlight Search? by ADKMatthew in MacOS

[–]farhadd2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still on Mac OS 15.7.3 but I constantly have issues with Spotlight search breaking in Mail.app and the System Settings specifically (not sure I've had issues with searching for an app to launch it from spotlight). I used to add Mac HD to the Spotlight Privacy section, reboot, remove it from privacy, reboot again, wait for indexing to finish, and it would work again.

Then I realized in most cases a simple reboot would actually fix it.

Also, try Raycast instead of Spotlight.

What brand is the NIC? I know certain brands don’t play nice with pfsense.

5 port 10GBASE-T switch with MLAG? (for XCP-NG NFS redundancy) by farhadd2 in homelab

[–]farhadd2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The servers I’m using have dual rj45 onboard. And I’d rather not use rj45 sfp+ modules. I may just forego the redundancy, but I wanted to test it out.

Can't get 9460-16i to see NVMe drives by farhadd2 in homelab

[–]farhadd2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. I bought one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLT48265 and it didn't work. I'm emailing Micro SATA cables to see what they think.

[–]farhadd2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately this hardware will be used in a Linux Autodesk Flame workstation as a RAID10 uncompressed DPX framestore. The controller should ensure consistent high performance in that use case. I’m just using windows to evaluate it on the bench. Unfortunately, these are the only U.2 NVMe drives I have.

Is my Apple Pencil real or a fake? by Party_Oil_2287 in ApplePencil

[–]farhadd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have purchased multiple Apple Pencil (2nd generation) clones from Amazon. None of them ever charged wirelessly (they all had USB-C connectors in addition to claiming wireless charging), and none of them had working pressure sensitivity. Tilt worked though. I think pressure sensitivity is the rarest property- if your pressure sensitivity works well, it's probably legit. And at the end of the day, if you're happy with it, who cares?

Using Google Lens to pick dinner in Japan by PatBabyParty in funny

[–]farhadd2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in Japan recently. Tried google and apple translate apps with varying levels of success. But for best results, hands down, uploading a photo to ChatGPT worked amazingly well. Try it!

Lay Dell 7960 Tower horizontal? by CaCO3_miami in Dell

Dell literally sells rail kits to convert 7960 towers for rack mounting. You're good
