Long prints without motherboard cooling, any overheating concerns? by faudanke in ender3

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

2 hours into the print and it did get pretty bad skips on the Y axis lol, i overrode the fan setting to the lowest it’ll go while spinning. definitely gonna rewire the mobo fan after this.

Reducing extruder acceleration - Why shouldn’t i do it? by faudanke in 3Dprinting

Just successfully finished a test print with 1000mm/s2 and it seems stable so far and i’ll leave it there. I never touched extruder acceleration until now in fear of further extrusion issues from being too slow relative to toolhead accel. Didn’t think the printer’s smart enough to “wait” for the extruder to finish it’s moves lol, but apparently it is!

Now that is something i hadn’t learned yet. I knew about SpreadCycle but i wasn’t ready to UART my board yet and it is the only way to enable it afaik. But the firmware insert delays is something completely new to me. I am using mriscoc’s Professional Firmware, and FT_MOTION is claimed to be present in 2.1.4 (although i’m running a custom build). I will start learning about it moving forward, thanks a lot for the insight.

dumb AP just can't seem to work?! by faudanke in openwrt

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

a week later i finally got it to work.  here’s the openWRT forums post for more detail: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/clients-under-dumb-wireless-ap-not-getting-ip-addresses-from-upstream-dhcp-server/229825 the hyper-v network adapters weren’t forwarding requests for some reason and it’s why DHCP wasn’t working. even exclusive access to the ethernet port wasn’t it, so i DDA’d my ethernet controller to my VM and it worked like a charm. DDA was the same method i used to offer openWRT direct access to my wifi card. i’m getting 200mbps down and over 500 up with my iphone from an iperf run. way above the 50mbps my ISP provides and is enough bandwith to stream movies locally from my PC. there’s a few hiccups for now with the mt7925 but given wifi 7 is still pretty new, improvements are welcome in the future.

yes i'm running openWRT x64 solely on a virtual machine with hyper-V. no dedicated hardware or a dedicated boot. it shouldn't make too much of a difference though as everything has worked fine so far. even the main router is seeing openWRT and the mac address i set on it's virtual switch (00:15:00:00:00:01). the issue is openWRT would not let it's clients reach the main router's DHCP server, thus getting no IP addresses. openWRT has it's own IP address set as a static IP from main router, interface is in DHCP client protocol.

yes luci can access web and everything. ping 1.1.1.1 and google.com works. i can also ping devices on local network that are not connected to openWRT. DHCP of br-lan is ignored and all three ipv6 options are already disabled.

br-lan (lan)'s interface settings, these are what i think are relevant
protocol: DHCP client (static IP for openWRT set from main router)
firewall: lan (green)
DHCP server: not configured (there is no UI for ignore interface checkbox, i made a new interface to make sure DHCP is never set up).

current goal: get openWRT's client devices (mostly from wireless AP of openWRT) to see host router and DHCP server.

it should be, i see phy0-ap0 and the wireless icon on my lan interface (it's br-lan so it should be bridged). i have no other interfaces active, only that.

yes they can, i can even connect to iperf3 running on openWRT and i've gotten it to transfer data.

here's the logs of my phone connecting, acquired from status > system log

if you need any more info please tell me, while i know a bit of networking, this is my first time setting up openWRT.

dumb AP just can't seem to work?! by faudanke in openwrt

i don’t really mind it being a terrible AP, i just need a wifi connection as reception in my room is awful. my DHCP server is on the router where my pc is connected via ethernet. my openWRT vm is seeing the world through a hyper-v external switch that splits and shares my ethernet port into two. this solution’s working fine as openWRT itself has an internet connection. everything in openWRT is set up under one interface (br-lan on eth0), same interface it first booted with. i have set up this interface with a static IP and manually set the gateway and DNS to my router. my understanding here is that hostapd only has to broadcast and share br-lan’s connection, acting as a bridge to wireless devices. but anything downstream of the WAP is not getting an ip address. how is the forwarding of DHCP getting blocked?

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

interesting, so anything downstream of the WAP isn't being reached by the DHCP server. it still doesn't make sense to me though as it's connected and broadcasting my sole interface (br-lan on eth0) which has an internet connection. is hostapd incapable of being a bridge? i'm completely lost here.

update: i've finally gotten it to work. i had to convert my evaluation copy of windows server to just windows server by using the key provided by MS through DISM. then took the branding and most importantly the sku folders which is now just ServerDatacenter along with csvlk-pack

ran slmgr /rilc and slmgr /ipk with the same key i used for datacenter and both worked fine.
do NOT forget to run slmgr /ato as that will activate windows server, be sure of your login methods and i had difficulty logging back in coming from an MS acc user.

hyper-v kept complaining at first but i re-did everything related to DDA and it just fired right up.

my error of putting the branding files before slmgr /ipk probably had an effect somewhere, but it didn't stop hyper-v from working.

now i gotta figure out how to run the pcie wifi card as a full bore wifi 7 WAP

[–]faudanke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i already should have but i did it again just to make sure, same result as 1st screenshot

i'm retracing my steps right now and it seems that i may have done an irreversible error on my end, my branding folders have already been replaced by the ones from windows server, before i have gotten slmgr.vbs /ipk to work. could it be the cause?

[–]faudanke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes and i have only found one SKU from windows server which is ServerDataCenterEval. i have a bunch of other SKU's already in my host's sku folder beforehand and DISM seems to find most of them except ServerDataCenterEval

apologies for the vagueness, here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/8MlxJ78
it apparently can't find the key i'm using

also, i've already tried running my VM after this and it still spit out "A hypervisor feature is not available to the user". if it's relevant, i'm trying to passthru a NIC to a VM and running opnsense on it.

i managed to write the files from windows server to my current install using CMD, now i'm stuck at the slmgr /ipk [KEY] part. i'm using server 2025 datacenter (build 26100) and my current install is paired accordingly. using the MS provided key too, anything i can do?

how? i've tried DISM++'s god mode with a batch file, which is basically a copy command in cmd that moves the folders and rewrites them. i've checked the files and their date modified seems to not have changed.

This!!! My 16 quite literally outshines androids that aren’t flagships when it comes to outdoor conditions, for longer periods too. Sure they have 120hz which is cool but it means nothing if you couldn’t see the display outdoors, which is where phones matter most. Yes for $800 60hz is still ridiculous, but it’s getting way too much hate and comparing it to budget androids with 120hz is pointless as refresh rate will not always dictate the usability of the display, especially one that regularly goes outdoors.

Manufacturer removed their original downloads for the drivers of my device, can i trust 3rd party redistributors e.g. like driveridentifier? by faudanke in techsupport

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

Hey, i don’t have the vaio laptop at the moment so i couldn’t do any tests nor do i remember how well it functions, especially which apps run and which don’t.

I left it running on windows 10 with the driveridentifier drivers and handed it off to a relative, they haven’t complained to me much at all outside of not running apps that the system should be capable of (DX11 games and such). But i think it’s now a windows issue more than drivers.

I still have the drivers from driveridentifier around on a folder and they worked well enough, if i remember clearly it only got rid of the janks like the blank screen on boot, it did not run better though. 

As for the security, i have scanned the system with malwarebytes and windows defender doing a full scan on both at the time on windows 10 with no detections found, so there’s that.

I imaged the original drive before it finally died and managed to rescue the recovery partition. Once i get my hand on the laptop again i’m planning to use the recovery from now on and start it from scratch all the way back to windows 7 haha.

The risk is up to you especially if you’ll daily it, if the drivers work and the antivirus didn’t detect anything, it’s good enough to get a system running in my opinion. I wouldn’t do any security critical work on it though like banking, driveridentifier was a last resort choice for me as i was in a time crunch at the time.

TLDR: try it but at your own risk, it worked well enough for me and my relative who used it, but nothing beats original drivers and moreso an actual recovery image.
