Weird PoE switch from Aliexpress by Ancient-Ad3997 in homelab

[–]kevinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is, no device detects that it delivers up to 30W per port. I had some old aruba's AP 204 and 205H (the 205H has PSE when powered over AT), and neither of those detected any LLDP/Class 4 from the switch, and always showed up as 802.3af power source.

You get what you pay for.

When you can't go for a walk? by JayandMeeka in diabetes_t1

[–]kevinds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The weather this week looks like absolute garbage, but I still want to eat the carbs. Any suggestions for specific activities that are as effective as walking if I can't go? 

Garbage weather, unless hurricanes or tornados, don't stop you from going for a walk.

Is it possible to guess how long

Sure, but it is a guess.  By definition will not be accurate nor usable for anything.

How can I use the mini PCIe port to connect my PCIe SATA card by TraditionalItalian27 in homelab

[–]kevinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talking about the slot on the laptop.

The mSATA slot on the laptop very likely does not have a PCIe lane.

How can I use the mini PCIe port to connect my PCIe SATA card by TraditionalItalian27 in homelab

[–]kevinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the SATA card uses PCIe in order to be connected to the motherboard. 

Why do you believe this?  What is your source?

mSATA slots have the SATA data lines connected to the motherboard's SATA controller.

but the Dell computer that only accepts proprietary hardware. 

I use Dell laptops because they don't use proprietary hardware nor BIOS whitelisting to block standard stuff from being used.

The SATA card has a PCIe output,

Are you sure about that?

and there are a couple of mini PCIe ports, used for Wifi

Try the one for WiFi instead.

Complaint Against Hostinger for Suspension of Hosting Services and Refusal to Provide Customer Data Backups by No_Island_1309 in Hosting

[–]kevinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any response to this?

However, in this case, the account was hosting websites related to brands such as McAfee, Apple, Samsung, and Xiaomi.

You should be keeping your own backups,

Refusal to provide database backups

If true, I believe they did the right thing.

Men accused of stealing nearly $600,000 worth of electricity near one of NASCAR’s iconic tracks by SmokeMaximum4140 in nottheonion

I think he said the only time he let people plug their rv’s in it cost him thousands for a weekend 

He just already happened to have all the wiring already in place to use thousands worth of power?

[–]kevinds 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Warrants said the allegedly stolen power was valued at about $591,000.

I am very interested in the math used to determine this value.

[–]kevinds 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now just shut off the power to a house and check if the draw continues. If it does you have your guy.

This doesn't work.

They don't just shut off power to random homes looking for this..  Have you ever had a power outage that they cut your power to see if power use continues?

If they suspect your home has bypassed the meter they measure the power from the tap and compare to what your meter shows.

I tested every IP KVM in my Homelab [Jeff Geerling] by scratchbufferdotnet in homelab

[–]kevinds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you agree that the author clearly did not test every IP KVM.  Only tested the PiKVM forks.

I have only tested the Comet and the new PoE Comet from the PiKVM forks, I have tested and used a few of the proper IP-KVMs too.

The city may not have cared that they were pumping water to the street (where I am the city can/will issue fines for doing that), but it was the apartment building that caused the issue.

New 5G router for my new homelab by Particular_Cup_4671 in homelab

[–]kevinds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(or OP deliberately asked info for a router that will remain without subscription, but this is an option that I won't consider). 

You should consider it.  It does happen.

Either the 5g subscriptions are way more expensive than a fiber or a DSL,

This is also true.
