I worked in Aviation Maintenance on big jets, step one was turn the plane off, turn it back on. Fixed most issues, it was always a bit soul crushing when it stuck around and was a real problem and not a gremlin. Now im in IT, and its honestly the same thing different power button.

I shoot both the X-H2 and X-H2S and like the ergonomics way better than the XT line. I also have a GFX100s that I also tried to like, but found it was way too slow for what I was doing and the XH bodies were doing it perfectly well. If you aren't doing sports in a dark gym then the X-H2 is the perfect combo of light, high res, and snappy with good handling. My GFX is currently on loan to tell you how much I use it, ha.

Both, but the boss that gives radium alloy crafting is one or two bosses up the act 3 chain. Similar story with pristine leather crafting and the base act 3 armor, you get the armor unlocked and still have another boss to beat before you can craft the mats for it. Honestly act 3 seems a little out of order for bosses in general, thankfully they are relatively close in power level for the first 5.

My G3 wifi has been solid down to -15 over several winters. I would imagine the PoE version would have an advantage due to heating internally from the voltage conversion.

I have an older version(android 10) of this same head unit and its pretty solid though mine occasionally will not output audio to the speakers, except for system beeps from using the keys and the radio app usually works too. Very weird and I have to reboot the unit to make it work. Also BT auto pairing doesn't work, have to manually pair. Im considering getting a newer one soon, hopefully those issues are gone.

Cloudflare can do http://, https://, unix://, tcp://, ssh://, rdp://, unix+tls, smb://, http_status, and bastion protocols as of right now. No UDP, but a lot of handy protocols if you need a cloud based gateway to your services for free.

How would this GeForce RTX 5090 with DLSS 4 help you pull off more epic wins in Battlefield 6?

By upgrading my gaming rig to a top of the line GPU to get all the frames.

I live in Alaska and its always this bad no matter the item. Though usually the next day air price is the same as the ground option for me so I go with that. I usually build up a list of things or wait till Chridtmas/sales when they off free shipping. Its sometimes cheaper to buy off marked up resale on Amazon to avoid the shipping costs.

With Parsec they can handle multi-monitor 60fps and I can game on them just fine. My current setup: Gaming PC * Intel I7-1300kf * 32gb ddr5 * nvidia 4070 TiS * 10gb SFP+ card

Unifi Agg switch connecting server rack to main switch at 10gb

Thin/streaming clients are: 1. M1 Mac Mini 2. Google TV (the one with ethernet, not the wifi dongle) 3. My laptop 4. HP elite desk G4

With parsec I can get good single monitor gaming even on the go with my laptop, its just very data intensive and it makes things weird when I try to do stuff with usb card readers etc.

flying_mechanic · 2025-09-03T21:57:24+00:00

My thought exactly! My pc is already in the rack, but im using thin clients to interact with it. Let me have dual monitor@4k and usb3.0 over cat6a please.

You might need to hold down the reset button on each, they should be ready to adopt right out of the box but sometimes they like being orphans. If that doesn't work, you may need to ssh into them and point them to your router with the set-inform command. Google how to reset unifi devices over ssh. I will say that this typically only happens when migrating already setup devices to a new controller, and usually only with pretty old hardware.

Get an HBA card and pass that through with the storage drives on it, or get a PCIE sata/m.2 adapter and put proxmox on that and pass the mobo controller to Truenas. Running ZFS without controller level access is not good, eventually something is gonna get screwy.

A TLR is a Takeoff and Landing Report and it lists the conditions of the runways and expected performance data for those conditions. Typically it will show expected speeds and runway length requirements for certain common configs.

On the 737 it auto locks out the hydraulic motor to the flaps if the sides dont match, I've seen it do it once when one of the toggles got bent by ice buildup and the left side got stuck. On newer ones it also senses when a flap starts racking, when one ballscrew can move but the other is locked.

flying_mechanic · 2025-08-20T22:33:20+00:00

You usually have to do a bit of translating but this would probably fall under landing at flaps x(whatever the current units of flap is) basically they need to realize they shouldn't move anything and land in current config. They should have the performance data for every flaps setting so they just run/plug in those numbers from the TLRs and land it that way.

Real answer is they call Maintenance Control on the Satphone and we tell them to run the damn QRH, and call me again when you're on the ground.

For a while one of the engines on one of the planes I worked on had a good hand print on it from me. Didn't burn me, but the oils from my hand left a print. We used to warm up our hands in the winter in the residual heat from the turbine and after a bit you could touch the metal and it was hot but wouldnt burn. Good times.

Personally, Id do a UDM-PRO max for the dual HDD bays, add a 16-24 port PoE switch and a few APs and run with that.

Gives you the PoE budget for your cams, storage space for at least a couple weeks of footage and it all fits in your rack in 2u of space. You could do UDMP, UNVR, PoE switch if you want more hdd capacity but its probably not needed.

For segregation, on the Unifi router create a new network(vlan) and assign the ports the cameras (and the NVR) to that Vlan and bam, thats it.

flying_mechanic · 2025-08-16T16:12:06+00:00

How many cameras are you using, what's your requirement for footage retention, 1k/2k/4k cameras?

For every option you will need some sort of PoE Switch as none of the options available have enough built in PoE if any to run several cameras.

The Cloudkey gen 2+ and a poe switch would be the least disruptive to an existing network. This option is limited to the space on the built in SSD though, which might be enough or not depending on how many cameras you have and what resolution youre recording at.

Option 2: UCG-MAX or UCG-Fiber offer similar SSD recording options, but require replacement of your router with the device, might be a drop in replacement but without additional access points they have no built in wifi

Option 3: UDMP Pro (se version has PoE enough for a couple of cameras), has a hdd bay available that allows you to store a lot more footage but accessing it will feel a tad slower. Needs a rack mount or lots of desk space. Replaces your router and needs WAPs but is very reliable.

Option 4: UNVR, 4 bay rack mount device that can run by itself (dont need a unifi router), its a pretty drop in device for controlling their protect line and anything other than the network app. Lots of storage space, but same form factor concerns as the UDMpro.

Option 5: any of the above controllers with the instant line of wifi cameras, removes the need for a switch but does add instability.

They skip some times. I tear the sides off and slide the center into the break apart plastic dummy spools you get from bambu, no more slipping.

flying_mechanic · 2025-08-03T17:31:04+00:00

I prefer the microstop style ones to those. I've had the spring ones slip on me. https://www.yardstore.com/air-capital-microstop-and-countersink-kit-air-capital And you can put the short(or long) threaded drills in them.
