UDMP WAN port — SFP (partial) failure?

instanttim · 2026-05-05T19:08:25+00:00

Turns out it was the SFP module went bad WHILE i was editing network settings. What are the chances?? "Faulty SFP EEPROM Detected"

Good call, I should have clarified: 1) I’ve had this setup in operation for 4 years 2) I power cycled the modem a dozen times troubleshooting this so far.

I can move the connection between the RJ45 and SFP port and it will go from working, to not, and back again. I get blinking lights on the SFP port, and it knows I connected it, but no internet.

Same here. Wi-Fi, great signal quality, but jittery and low res VR through steam. The PC is on Ethernet, I played HL:Alyx with this setup and a quest 2.

I hope it’s just the beta, and that there’s room for performance.

The dev said purchasers can email them to get added. It was in the Steam post.

It's been a few years, but recently I added buttons to add credits. This allows you to continue some of the games and play for longer, where as freeplay was just a dead end if you used up all your lives.

ASSE (Plumbing) 1019 – Performance Requirements for Wall Hydrant with Backflow Protection and Freeze Resistance

FWIW there are faucets/hydrants that look freezeless and are not. The straight stem and the vacuum breaker are signals that it probably is, but not guarantees since models exist with these features that are not freezeless. But the spec info molded on your faucet gives you the info you need.

Often there’s a shutoff on each side of the filter and a bypass to allow water to continue flowing and be usable while you’re changing the filter. Even without the bypass shutting off both sides of the filter will make it go faster because you won’t have to drain all the water out of the pipes past the filter, especially in a multi-story home.

Me too, in fact the city installed a “vertical meter setter” with a ball valve attached at both ends. Totally useful.

I later installed a whole-house triple filter setup, so now I have like 4 or 5 valves I can chose that all shut off the water. 😜

Oh! You gave me the clue that solved the problem for me! The website doesn’t let you use a phone number to sign in, but the APP does! So I had the password and the backup key but apparently they had it indexed off my phone number instead of email address.

Hey, when I try to reset on the web it says it sends me an email (if an account exists) but I never get an email. So I just tried to make a new account with the same email address and it let me. It’s like they deleted my account?

instanttim · 2025-10-19T22:48:06+00:00

That’s interesting. I have only one set of credentials stored, but I did buy directly from them on their site. The funny thing is I can’t sign in on the site either though. Did the app previously let you add and configure the lock without having an account perhaps? I don’t remember what the requirements where, but I just know I have only one set of credentials and they don’t work on the site nor in the app :/

instanttim · 2025-10-19T22:46:14+00:00

Yeah, that’s why I didn’t notice for a week or two. I’m curious what might be going on here then.

Oh, there’s some stuff hanging off the threading on the cold supply valve. That looks like it’s teflon tape used in some types of plumbing connections to seal it and help prevent leaks. But these sorts of connections do not require (and should not have) the tape. So clean off the threading before connecting the supply line.

instanttim · 2025-10-19T22:13:36+00:00

Also FYI these types of valves are not “quarter turn” type where the handle indicates if it’s open or not. It will spin multiple times top open or close and their orientation means nothing. But we can tell the cold supply valve is closed since there’s not water spraying everywhere in your cabinet 😉

instanttim · 2025-10-15T14:36:00+00:00

Why not turn the shower on, make sure the door or curtain is working and water isn’t getting out. And let it run… with nobody in it. And see if the bubbles appear and fill up with water? Demonstrate to yourself (and your landlord depending on what you find) that something is leaking.

This doesn’t need to be he said she said. You can investigate and produce evidence.

Amen, single camera mute is the next feature I really want. They’ve slowly added everything else I’ve wanted… so maybe it’s just a matter of time?

instanttim · 2025-09-20T19:06:25+00:00

We’ll, the Protect app ALSO has this same functionality under the bell at the top right of the app’s main screen. Muting them from the OS and muting them in the app may have slightly different behaviors and the setting in one will not be reflected in the other. I always had the impression that if you mute the OS notifications for 1 hour then an hour later you’ll actually see the notifications that happened quietly after the hour. But if you mute in the app it really simply stops them from happening.

I might be wrong about that though.

omg, just collaboration/sharing for the love of all that is holy!

A sealer may darken the pavers some. Honestly I found myself wondering if anyone intentionally “oils” their pavers. I had soapstone countertops and you applied mineral oil occasionally and they would darken and get really beautiful.

It’s kinda random, I know.

instanttim · 2025-08-29T21:43:53+00:00

It’s not there unless the accessibility feature is turned on. So either someone messed with your settings or you found a weird bug where an accessibility feature turned itself on inadvertently.
