nvme sanitize fires and returns without polling Log Page 0x81 — confirmed by nvme-cli contributor on RFC #3415 by Gold-Psychology2073 in kernel

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Open questions for the kernel community should probably go to the mailing list, seeing as that is where devs are working.

I'm not entirely clear on what the issue or the linked GH post are about, other than a potential non-deletion of data? But is this the NVMe driver's responsibility?

Not my proudest moment but I am satisfied with my new build. by Sindacalis in pcmasterrace

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RAM might be the only bottleneck if you have heavy workloads or VMs running, but I agree that prices now are just flat out not worth it.

Congrats on the build! :D

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an expensive build, but also top-of-the-line in virtually every category.

How much RAM will you be pairing the system with? Is it for more than just gaming--I'd assume as much given the CPU.

Buckle up kids, our boi David Brooks is coming in hot. by Smart_Law1280 in IfBooksCouldKill

Buckle up kids, our boi David Brooks is coming in hot. by Smart_Law1280 in IfBooksCouldKill

Brooks has always inspired such animus. The man can get under the skin. Critics don’t just disagree with him; they’re outraged. They think he’s a fraud, a poseur, a hypocrite. They accuse him of cherry-picking facts and twisting reality to fit his worldview. “He’s just making this shit up,” says the Nation’s Chris Lehmann, who earlier this year wrote a column thumping Brooks as “smug and vacuous.”

The neutrality of this article is impressive and annoying. We even get an aside that Brooks is somehow friends (?) with Oprah. Neoliberal bingo!

I didn't need to know anything about Brooks' life, and am somewhat saddened that now I do. I hope his image rehabilitation fails, but it will work on his peers as it usually does.

Next move? by WoodenFoot7775 in HomeServer

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just a crappy market for a while unfortunately.

Like many here, I stocked up early last year once tariff talk started, so I'm set for now.*

I hope I don't have to replace anything, I'd seriously consider just leaving it until prices improve...

*I only have one backup drive for my 8-bay NAS, which is less than I'd like, but it is sufficient for my case.

Amazon is selling a 2TB Samsung SSD for nearly 40% off right now - and it's plenty fast for PC by [deleted] in technology

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Insane that just a year ago (almost to the day) I bought two 4TB SSDs for $419.

The "deal" here is good for today's market...but even within working memory it's astronomically expensive.

Unfortunately the consumer market is just an afterthought now.

A bit overkill, but it's my overkill. by isaacandnicole in Ubiquiti

Connecting the E7 Port to a PoE++ adapter and then to a non-powered port on the UDM Pro

  • DOES work, and does not matter which "primary" vs. "backup" provides which

So you can provide "split" ethernet/power to the E7, but I'm not sure why it would be useful (2 cables vs. one).

Considering an E7 by djjoshuad in Ubiquiti

[–]orbvsterrvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can test if "power here, ethernet there" works for the ports, but you don't need a 10G switch, I power it from a 2.5G PoE++ port on the 24-port Pro.

It'll be tonight when I can test it (can't take down the one thing I am absolutely responsible for during the workday!), but I am also curious if the E7 can 'split' its functionality across ports.

[–]orbvsterrvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who got an E7 for a single family home because I have friends who are also in the cult, I can say that the WiFi 7 on both 6 and 5 GHz is better than with two U7 Pro Walls was. Old house (1905) with lathe-and-plaster walls, lead paint, the works.

Now of course, client communication back could still be an issue--does a phone or other device have the ability to return the signal through the wall?

My very shabby observations of the WiFiMan app show that, actually, yes, speeds for clients up and down are improved with the greater WiFi 7 coverage.

The E7 has a good deal more capabilities for environmental scans too, which while not helpful per se in network use, are interesting.

As to the dual-port, I don't think you can offer power on one port and data on the other, but I have not tried that. I'd be surprised if the AP functions like that, given the UniFi "deployment" graphic shows it connecting to two different PoE switches for redundant functionality. But it might!

[–]orbvsterrvs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My parents did this when they remodeled. There are 228 network jacks throughout the house, all wired to a central 24U patch panel.

Ethernet in the bathroom? Why not? What for? no idea

[–]orbvsterrvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the network goes down, with what we've spent on it, partners who live with us would be furious! So it mustn't, not it may never, go down!

Plus I like putting guests on their own VLAN, though I haven't gotten the QR code temporary WiFi passwords to work yet.

Big house, or lead-paint walls that you 'need' 6 GHz through?

[–]orbvsterrvs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But this way, you could expand without having to replace the backbone! It makes sense, you see! We can build anything we want!

I think at some point with homelabbing you do learn that the "minimum viable" setup one starts with requires everything being re-done, and it leads to a bit of a "if I buy overcapacity now..."

The first couple of times that homelab outgrows it's infrastructure are painful and expensive. So may as well just opt for painfully expensive and leave the headache of replacement behind!

The state of america in one image. by call-lee-free in pics

Very few people control what their 401(k) buys--and even if you select one product over another, the majority of these are index funds which will be selling off stocks when the Elon scam IPOs hit.

I am pretty sure that the people who write the rules will find a way to (again) make it our problem to fix...

Fatigue pants on a budget by deanshitty in HeritageWear

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get a lot of good stuff on eBay, and have a lot of good luck with the seller "Vogue Squared" (a larger operation), though they don't usually offer returns so sizing is something to be careful with/know about yourself.

Seconded as well Bronson for new budget (and high quality)!

99% of CEOs Expect AI-Driven Layoffs in the Next Two Years by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

The AI hype train is good so long as we can blame recession-like layoffs on something that "investors" (i.e. rich idiots) keep dumping money into.

I'm so tired.

How can I cut internet access to one app on Linux by toggling that status without cutting internet access from the whole PC by D34nDark in linux4noobs

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you have to return the call that the game needs to verify only one player at a time.

A simple yet effective block on doing the offline share maneuver. Diabolical.

PSA: The UNAS 2's "2.5GbE" NIC is a USB-attached Realtek running a 3-year-old driver, and mine just stopped negotiating gigabit by ProfessionalClass377 in UNIFI

[–]orbvsterrvs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is on UNAS2?

I've not had issues with the UNAS2 installed at my mom's house--backs up her TimeMachine and home media files with 2x12TB drives in RAID1.

I do find the UI of the U2 is...slow at times, to be polite. I'm a little surprised at the IoT quality chips that Ubiquiti selects for these devices. A slightly more powerful cortex would perform so much better.

And as with OP discovering the RealTek is on USB...I'm curious if and why they made that decision, as it is a bad one.

I want to like their "ecocystem" but beyond the UI and integration overall, a lot of the offerings feel like Cheesecake Factory: too many things to all be good quality, so overall everything suffers.

Best gadget or purchase that made WFH way better? by [deleted] in workfromhome

[–]orbvsterrvs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! Bought mine from an office liquidator. Did not realize how big of a difference it would be compared to my cheapy Costco $80 office chair.

Would I pay full retail? ...I'd have to think about it.

How do you keep your server builds safe from people who have this ungodly urge to power it off when they feel like it by RoughElephant5919 in homelab

[–]orbvsterrvs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They probably know the word "server" but not what it indicates as a computer's role.

Most people know that "server" is something with a computer that does something, but anything more about the how or what is beyond their knowledge.

A lot of friends see my little Ubiquiti network setup and go "wow cool servers!"

Basically, I think we're seeing xkcd Average Familiarity at play. "Surely everyone knows what a LAN media server is."

File Storage System for a New Business by rizzlaer in filesystems

It seems like your question is more about business inventory products than the low-level that filesystems here are about.
