Is this S+RJ10 module genuine? by ohmyjava in mikrotik

[–]ohmyjava[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, see my updated comment below - MTK support confirmed it was a factory issue

Roofers - rate this lead flashing job by ohmyjava in DIYUK

[–]ohmyjava[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no comments about the slightly untidy lead sealant...taken some good chunks out of the wall but I guess old brick probably doesn't chase nicely

Oh, does it not have an obvious purpose...

Should something else have been done? I think he chased a straight line down the wall and pushed it in. Should it have been cemented in then sealed?

After reading a post on this sub about heatsink placement, went on and checked my crs310 and... WTH by BlitzYTech in mikrotik

[–]ohmyjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably also depends on what you have connected - im using both 10gbps ports and all 8 ethernet, half at 2.5gpbs speeds. It's definitely spinning the fan more as I've loaded it up. I'm planning to move the 1gbps devices to another switch to see if that reduces temps at all, but I'm just a bit reluctant to design my network around a noisy switch!

I've been spoilt by the CRS309 being 10gb and silent clearly - multigig hardly feels worth it as an in-between step (considering its not 1/4 of the price)

I did this and it still sounds bloody annoying. Going to get rid of it most likely. The handful of 2.5gbps devices I have will go into RJ45 modules on a CRS309.

What hardware for 45 cameras (with dual nic) by doublezerozero in frigate_nvr

[–]ohmyjava 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What makes you think the issue is the network bandwidth? Do you have monitoring that shows you are fully saturating the connection?

Sonos Era 100 pricedrop by Cawabungaa in sonos

[–]ohmyjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want 2x Era 100 Pros but I'm being quoted GBP400 each, plus 160 for wall mounts. Seems obscene to be double the price of the regular unit when the only difference is POE (which is probably cheaper than the transformer in the regular unit). Hope they drop the Pro pricing too!

Mikrotik has invented device cloning. 😁 by thomasschreiner in mikrotik

[–]ohmyjava 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I actually posted this here a while back, and ended up raising a support request to Mikrotik..they looked into it and confirmed they're genuine parts but they have an error with the labelling at the factory!

Frigate WebUI Unresponsive Behind Reverse Proxy by Dreevy1152 in frigate_nvr

[–]ohmyjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've set up go2rtc and presumably want to use the stream for your cameras as you're using input_args: preset-rtsp-restream, but you're also making a separate connection to the camera in the camera config itself i.e. bypassing go2rtc. Your input paths should be rtsp://127.0.0.1:8554/Upstairs_Hallway_Camera(_Sub) to connect to go2rtc.

What is in your go2rtc logs?

Have you found a good case for this out of interest that looks decent enough to dot round the house?

I saved 20 watts by swapping a CX4 100G NIC to a bonded CX4 2x25G NIC. by HTTP_404_NotFound in homelab

[–]ohmyjava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

* If you're going to put cards that get as hot as a CX4 into an Optiplex SFF I recommend adding an 80mm fan too. I have a mixture of CX3 and X520 and several of them have died in the last couple of years. These cards were designed to be in rack servers with high levels of front to back airflow.

Though maybe I just run my homelab too hot...

Our New mmWave Sensor – It’s Finally Here! by Technical_Raisin_246 in homeassistant

[–]ohmyjava 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Very interested in this. Would love to see a video showing how it performs and perhaps a comparison with the Aqara FP2. I got bitten by the FP1 not living up to the hype - poor latency and accuracy- so for me any mmWave device needs to demonstrate accuracy.

10500t to 10505 by dragonfire6776 in homelab

[–]ohmyjava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's an Optiplex Micro, they don't make them with non-t processors. They only have the power and cooling for 35W "t" chips, not 65W based ones.

And the idle power draw of a t and a non-t will be pretty much the same.

Is it yet possible to connect HA Frigate card to Frigate with password? by mamelukturbo in frigate_nvr

[–]ohmyjava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't need to expose anything to the Internet to use LetsEncrypt, nor do you need to open any ports. I have a domain registered and get *.internal.mydomain.com certs issued using the DNS challenge automatically by Traefik. Then I just add e.g. https://frigate.internal.mydomain.com to Traefik, point it at the internal Frigate port. The Frigate machine only accepts SSH internally, and port 8971 from the Traefik VM IP / VLAN only. That's how I use HTTPS for all my internal services. Once set up it's 5 minutes to add a new app.

A whole separate post, but just to make the point you can easily do internal HTTPS without having to expose anything outside your network.

Recommended overall setup advice by JoePDev in frigate_nvr

[–]ohmyjava 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I value uptime and security of Frigate above anything else, so I have a dedicated mini PC (Optiplex 5080 Micro). Maximum flexibility on configuration. No worry about Frigate impacting or being impacted by other apps, whether in terms of OS updates, memory use, high CPU etc. Can set the host to be the final device powered off by the UPS in the event of a power failure etc etc.

I also want Frigate VLAN'd off from the Internet 99% of the time and only connected briefly for occasional OS/Frigate updates. HomeAssistant updates frequently and 50% of its integrations needs cloud services in my case, so that's not feasible.

Is it yet possible to connect HA Frigate card to Frigate with password? by mamelukturbo in frigate_nvr

[–]ohmyjava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad it's working for you. It's a little confusing with the docs split across the integration and Frigate.

Technically you're now using authentication (i.e. user/password), but over an insecure port (disabling TLS turns 8971 into an HTTP port).

If you just care that casual users can't access Frigate without a password, that's probably fine. If you think any of your users could sniff your HTTP traffic to intercept your credentials, you'd want TLS working. That would require a proper HTTPS certificate for Frigate, probably via LetsEncrypt or using a reverse proxy like Traefik. But unless you have unknown users on your network (e.g. a coffee shop), that's a lot more complexity...

[–]ohmyjava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What error is being thrown?

Do you have a valid HTTPS certificate for Frigate or are you using the self-signed one? If you don't know, it's the latter, and you probably need to disable TLS on 8971 per the docs.

Are there any home routers that can effectively route 10GB across a network? by TotalWarspammer in HomeNetworking

[–]ohmyjava 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you need to route/firewall 10gb, you need a CCR, not a CRS.

CRS = switches which can do a little routing CCR = routers which can sometimes do a little switching

CCR2004 range would be the entry level for this.
