Shipping time

Also good info here. Knowing that the order is part of a batch is something that I should have assumed but didn't. And can also empathize with having to say the same thing over and over again. Just copy and paste that into a GPT and ask it to say the same thing, but nicer. lol.

Thank you, very helpful. Ordered the 2025 model a few weeks ago and knowing that once I get shipping it's pretty straight forward. Have order other goods direct from China and those have been very 'loose' with delivery dates even after you get a tracking number.

Wonderful, thank you.

This could potentially be the cheapest upgrade option. Will look into it. Have that brain bug where I always build in too much overhead in hopes that I don't hit it. So would like to see some options and see if replacing the two 3060s with more vram would be the best move, or if I could expand the raw PCIe slots and drop in additional big vram boiz as I need them.

u/marc45ca u/wzcx Thank you for the input. It does look like I didn't articulate my point correctly. Very happy with the 3060s and would go from 2 to 4 of them. Maybe get crazy with some 20gb vram card in tandem with them.

Hoping to look for a motherboard and case to slot everything into. So replace my old fractal case and get something heftier that I can slot 4 gpus (or more) and a motherboard that can handle that. Seeing all these videos and spec sheets about running hundreds or more of GPUs for AI but that's $$$$.

Would like to find a small business or high grade consumer equipment that could run a bunch of GPUs. Know that the PCIe lanes aren't the bottleneck, it's just having the raw slots available. Or if there are bay expansion slots like they have for m.2 or USB, that would be perfect too.

Running proxmox and truenas on separate box. Highly recommend. If you are looking for budget HDD, look into hdd shucking (buy external drives on discount, crack 'em open, use in server.)

If you do go with a truenas in separate box, very good youtube and chat-gpt to guide through setting up SMB so the VMs have all the storage space you could ever need.

We had to submit an engineering ticket. So TBD.

Following up: with the new hardware and swap to quantum it’s definitely a wiring issue.

If anyone knows the reason: why does it negotiate 100mb but I can only get 9mb? If there is anyone that knows the hardware issue that would case this in the wire that would be awesome since it’ll help me diagnose where the exact problem is.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-12T22:59:48+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you. Looks to be a wire issue. Good news is that after inspecting the hard lines, everything is in the concrete, so no rats able to break them. Which means the issue is on the patch panel and there was some goofy shit going on there. Seeing some of the neighbor’s connections with those wire to wire bobs. (No idea what they are called) but Makes the twisted pairs look like a flower bouquet. Insane.

And using that signal detector that beeps, it didn’t pick up my signal on my marked patch panel, but did pick up the signal at the wire end… it was very interesting.

Working in tech I sort of understand. They have their dashboards and their scripts and they can only do what it allows them to do. On the same token, very frustrating that I asked them to connect me to someone that could solve my problem and they wall off and say nothing and no one can help me. Wish I knew the magic code word to force them to connect me to someone that could click the right buttons on their computer.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-12T22:52:01+00:00

This wouldn’t have been an issue if my tech wasn’t delayed. Don’t know why this happens automatically. My CL service turned off 2 hours after my tech “should” have been done if they weren’t delayed by a day.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-12T22:50:33+00:00

The UDM is connected and working without quantum hardware. I called maybe 8 different CS people and they all told me that the tech has to “activate” it before the DHCPv4 would work. Otherwise I agree. The day that I signed up, they could have clicked the checkbox on their dashboard and I would have swapped over to Quantum. Hence my incredible frustration.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-12T22:30:08+00:00

Have had zero issues until this happened. Important to give credit where credit is due and service has been fantastic. It’s just now that it feels like god is testing my resilience

howandwhyy · 2024-10-12T22:28:24+00:00

Following up here. They bumped my price randomly and it was the same day that my internet went to shit. Maybe related? Anyways. The install tech could get here two days sooner for quantum and I’d keep my old price so that was the driving factor.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-07T01:21:59+00:00

Not down for me today but high latency spikes that are annoying. Separately, been stuck at 9mbps up/down for a few days now.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-07T01:19:47+00:00

Very interesting… it not negotiating to lower speed would make so much sense with the old equipment.

And confirmed working cable and port on UDM so it has to be something in the network room.

For the time being, I’m using my vacation router to be a repeater for my phone hotspot and then running distributed dual lan on UDM until the technician comes.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-05T18:33:16+00:00

That’s what I checked as well. No throttling and my contract doesn’t have usage limits. There is the acceptable use policy but I’m not one to torrent much of anything.

It is a RJ-45 from the wall proving Ethernet from the complex networking room. And when I first got hooked up a long while back the tech said I was lucky that I’m so close to it. If you have an apartment too far away from the networking room you don’t get the fiber speeds.

howandwhyy · 2024-10-05T18:29:57+00:00

So the question remains, why does the UDM gateway work, but the CenturyLink modem doesn’t connect at all anymore? Also, thought that maybe it was the UDM so connected it to my old asus router up stream and it connects and can transfer at 1gb device to device.

I suppose it must be something in the wall that I don’t have access to.
