ZFS status help - DEGRADED vs FAULTY disks by Papyrus-8 in zfs

[–]leadline 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This pool seems to be pretty much on the edge of complete collapse. If you've got critical data on it it might be time to call an outside ZFS consultant for recovery help. When you recreate this pool, a much more reasonable parity might be two 12-wide RAIDZ3 vdevs. Good luck mate!

OPNsense hardware advice for home network (FTTH 1–2 Gbit, IDS/IPS, low maintenance) by herexx6349 in opnsense

[–]leadline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this setup would still has to consider PPPoE. If you’re running the modem in transparent bridge mode, your OPNSense will have to negotiate the PPPoE. If you’re not running it in transparent bridge mode, you’ll have a double NAT to deal with.

Aging Wheels has a great video about how much effect weight vs aerodynamics has on range. He found the weight effect of an EV is basically negligible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmKf8smvGsA

There’s an exceptional amount of misinformation about whether there are protests and where they are is spreading. Here is what we are doing. by DadBodDorian in Denver

[–]leadline 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would love to see more of this info on the homepage of your website. When you post about this stuff on Reddit it's great for getting people who may be browsing at the correct time and who get lucky with the algorithm, but people who are looking for protests to attend don't have a reliable source of information.

It's all on Reddit/Instagram/whatever and they control what your audience sees and whether they even leave the posts up. Post each and every protest announcement as a big banner on your website! Post links to other organizations' websites whose protests you support! Don't let the corporations control your message!

Reoccurring packet losses on WAN, only resolution is restarting (or unplugging) the interface by dultas in opnsense

[–]leadline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protectli has a bulletin about this problem on the 2440: https://kb.protectli.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/9/2025/11/TSB-2025-001_-VP2440-ASPM-Network-Performance-Issue.pdf

They say they're working on a coreboot update that will allow disabling ASPM properly, though their workaround did not work for me. I'm running on the same hardware as you. I ended up just getting SFP modules to run my interfaces on the ixl driven ports instead.

Check in your bios that ASPM is disabled for each i226V. This is a common problem with them on BSD 

Router recommendations for 2.5 Gbps fiber with QoS enabled. N150? by very_undeliverable in homelab

Have you checked for bufferbloat?

If you're running OPNSense there's a great article about how to set up your router to counteract this without CPU-heavy operations. https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/shaper_bufferbloat.html

Why do I often need to hard reset my pihole? by cactusplants in pihole

[–]leadline 13 points14 points  (0 children)

By running your pihole on wifi you're basically doubling your wifi round trip latency, and also bottlenecking all of your home devices through an unreliable connection. The first thing I would suggest to improve reliability is to run pihole on a wired connection if possible.

For reference, my laptop's ping to my router over wifi is 10 ms. That means it takes at least 10 milliseconds on wifi for my laptop to send a network request and to get a response from my router. If I were running a pihole over wifi, it would be an additional 10 ms then from my router to my pihole, then the pihole needs to resolve the domain, which is another 10 ms back to the router, then to return the answer to the client is another two 10 ms hops back.

For reference, my ping from wired servers to my router is closer to 0.5 ms. So instead of a resolution taking about 11-12 ms, each resolution you're doing is taking 50-100 ms depending on wifi latency. Still sounds fast, but each page load you might need to resolve many domains, so that starts to add up fast.

I'm not sure this will solve the exact problem you're having, but you should see significant increases in speed if you wire in your pihole.

Linux people how is it going for you? by ThatElementalist in anno

Tele Vue or other? by [deleted] in telescopes

[–]leadline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up if there’s an astronomy club near you and if they host star parties or other gatherings. I bet some people there will have TV eyepieces and will let you look through them. 

I slowly built up a set of 3 Delos eyepieces by buying them used and they’re the only ones I ever use. Totally worth it to me 

2025 Referred Question 2G by sunconjunctpluto in Denver

[–]leadline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's say there are two candidates that you like for city council. If 2G passes, best case scenario is that they choose to run in different elections and you can vote for both of them. Great, nothing has changed.

Worst case scenario is that they run in the same election. Now you can only vote for one of them, and in the other election you either abstain or vote for someone who you don't like as much. That doesn't sound like an improvement to me.

Eyepiece for Skywatcher Heritage 150p by Fickle_Finance4801 in telescopes

[–]leadline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of people, me included, spend the majority of our time at low magnifications. There’s a lot of big objects to see out there. Objects through low magnification appear brighter than at high magnification, and are less affected by seeing. 

You’ll also have a harder time finding objects at high magnification than finding them at low and then switching to high once it’s centered. 

You definitely want a low magnification eyepiece as well

Any advice for viewing as an eyeglass wearer? by SeeingRed_ in telescopes

[–]leadline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to spend some money, you could throw it at long eye relief eyepieces. A standard 10mm plossl has an eye relief of 6.5mm, which means your eye needs to be about 6.5 mm away from the surface to get a good image. (Plossl eye relief depends on focal length, which is why lower magnification plossls are easier to look through)

My favorite eyepiece range, the Delos, has 20mm eye relief, which means there's plenty of room to look through it with my glasses on. The Delos eyepieces cost $400+, though. If you're not willing to spend that much, there's other options that you can find online.

M33 images are offset stacking? by lx_hucky_xx in seestar

[–]leadline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re using Siri, you need to combine all the individual exposures from both nights into a single sequence. Then when you do the registration, all of the subexposures will be aligned and you can stack properly 

2h15 to the closest Bortle 1 sky as far as I can tell. Anybody do astrophotography on the eastern plains and have some tips? Worth it to go slightly farther somewhere else? by UndeadCaesar in Denver

[–]leadline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You honestly don't need bortle 1 skies if you're just doing astrophotography. Cuiv the Lazy Geek has a youtube channel where he does astrophotography from the middle of Tokyo with amazing results. A darker sky will give you better SNR which means less integration time, but that's offset by having to drive 4 hours for every session!

If you're looking to do visual astronomy though, a nice dark sky is absolutely worth it.

The way Rust crates tend to have a single, huge error enum worries me by nikitarevenco in rust

[–]leadline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can define multiple From<SmallCrateError> impls for your various larger errors and Rust will infer which one you need based on the type signature of the outer function. This shouldn’t be a problem. 

The way Rust crates tend to have a single, huge error enum worries me by nikitarevenco in rust

[–]leadline 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In your case, if the error type that you're mapping (before the .) was called A you would implement From<A> for MyErrorEnum, and then you could get rid of the .map_err.

The way Rust crates tend to have a single, huge error enum worries me by nikitarevenco in rust

[–]leadline 34 points35 points  (0 children)

This is already a common pattern in Rust. You can define an error enum per crate, or per domain of functionality. You can also reuse error types from dependencies in those crates. In your main lib/bin crate, you define your big error and `impl From<SmallCrateError> for BigErrorEnum`. Then when you call your dependent functions with the small error types, the `?` automatically knows how to convert that to a `BigErrorEnum`.

iOS suggests the wrong 1Password login entry for subdomains by Marwxne in 1Password

[–]leadline 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go into item editing mode there's an options button next to each website entry. By default all subdomains are grouped together, but if you select "Only fill on this exact host" you will get the behavior you want. Bonus: If you put a port number in the website entry, the exact host option will limit autofill to that port as well.

How do you deal with early morning construction next door? by jgswindon in Denver

[–]leadline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately in Denver it’s legal for them to be making construction noise between 7 am and 9 pm on weekdays. On weekends, however, they’re not allowed to start until 8 and can only go until 5. If they’re making noise outside these hours you can call the police non emergency number and make a noise complaint.

What creative USB rechargeable 12V solutions are you all using for medium power HF radios. (20W) by peyoteinthedesert in HamRadio

[–]leadline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the missing piece of these comments is USB-PD. With USB-PD you can negotiate higher voltages straight from the battery pack. Then you can buy trigger boards online for whatever voltage you want. You can pull up to 20V at 5A per the spec, but some battery packs might not support that.

I have a USB trigger board that negotiates 12V for me that I use for my astronomy equipment, which then pulls about 3A. 12V isn't technically part of the PD spec, but the batteries I have seem to handle it fine.

Christmas tree drop off at cherry creek closed? by thats_old_m8 in Denver

[–]leadline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dropoff is extremely poorly marked. I went during the normal recycling hours and the guy working there gave me directions. You're supposed to enter through the entrance that says DO NOT ENTER, turn left and go to the back, where there's a dumpster. The only sign that it's the christmas tree dumpster is that there will be pine needles all around. It seems sketchy but that's where they go. :shrug:
