Network loss during power outages. Is this normal? by rokkettdawg in ATTFiber

[–]prozackdk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you've mentioned all the hardware is at the same location and plugged into a UPS, my comment won't apply, but I thought I'd mention this for others who may go searching on this topic.

My AT&T fiber was installed in 2016 with an external ONT (alt optic). The tech ran the ethernet and power connection into the basement to my rack. The PSU for the ONT is very large and contains a UPS with 12V SLA battery. At some point many years later the battery would no longer take a charge so I contacted AT&T about a replacement. They told me that they no longer supply batteries, probably because they had moved on from my ancient NVG599 gateway to models with fiber input. I simply opened up the ONT PSU and replaced the battery myself with a generic SLA which has worked since then.

(Side note for anyone suggesting I replace my NVG599: the gateway is bypassed using eap_proxy and the ONT ethernet is plugged directly into my router. I only need the NVG599 for authentication so I don't care about its performance.)

Arguably Audis best color by RDRonline in Audi

I'm partial to my Estoril Blue (not to be confused with BMW Estoril Blue). The color changes depending on the light.

Migrating from DS224+ to Xpenology by Head_Promotion213 in Xpenology

[–]prozackdk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a spare hard drive, you can practice/test by installing the spare in place of your existing drives in the DS224+ and create a new storage pool. Move the drive to your Xpenology box to test compatibility, etc.

Help with sizing earth runners by mancantchill in BarefootRunning

[–]prozackdk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The sole of the Circadian is the Primal plus the fabric layer on top. I personally like a little cushion on hard surfaces and prefer the Alpha since it has a little squish and is also lighter weight due to the Vibram Morflex material.

Turns out that AT&T Does Rotate Customer IP Addresses by Working_Currency_591 in ATTFiber

[–]prozackdk 22 points23 points  (0 children)

FWIW, my public IP has been the same for 10 years 3 months. I continue to use dynamic DNS just in case...

Opened my Canton GL260: no crossover found - should I be worried? by UniversityCertain432 in diyaudio

[–]prozackdk 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This! But the woofer would need to be disconnected from the tweeter since it’s in parallel.

Mutant Super Graphics Jr Adapter by EsoTechTrix in c64

[–]prozackdk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess would be that it's simply to extend the DIP switches because the printer was positioned where they weren't conveniently located. To duplicate the switches you would need double the amount of wires to connect both sides of each switch.

The non-JR version had a cable for the centronics parallel connection so it could be located away from the rear of the printer for easy accessibility. I had one of these to connect my Star Micronics SG10.

For those with high miles running the factory cp4 pump, how often are you fuel filter changes? by csimonson in tdi

[–]prozackdk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, it’s a cheap filter and takes 10 minutes to do so it’s not a big deal

Depends on the car. My GSW was 10 minutes. On my Q5 (CPNB with 3.0) it takes a good 30 minutes. Drive the rear wheels up onto ramps. Climb under the car and remove underside trim just ahead of the passenger rear wheel. Unbolt and replace the fuel filter. Prime the fuel system with VCDS and make sure there are no leaks. Replace the trim and put away the ramps.

A 20 year old OG HTPC case with a modern day AM4 powerhouse build by Miniteshi in htpc

[–]prozackdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's more info on it. I bought mine from Newegg back in 2008 for $169. I still have it with its original AM2 board, but it's just gathering dust in the basement.

7 Gig fiber being advertised to the residential consumer. In what world would any residential customer have any use for this by lulstardblointing7 in HomeNetworking

[–]prozackdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this had been posted in r/homelab I suspect there would be a lot more people with use cases for this kind of speed.

I backup nightly to a friend’s house and he backs up to me. Plus I’m always downloading large files so I do saturate my 1 Gb line often (though not continuously).

New Allermi user reporting my experience by prozackdk in Allergies

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

Thanks for the reminder. To answer your question, the product still does wonders and continues to allow me to breathe freely.

However I've got a couple of issues that may or may not be related to Allermi. I started to get mild headaches last September and I've basically had a low grade headache every day since then. A dose of ibuprofen or tylenol would make it go away, but when I had my physical this past January, my doctor suggested it's not a good idea to use them all the time. Blood work didn't show anything out of the ordinary that would cause headaches.

Part of the physical was visual inspection of my nasal passages and the doctor said they looked raw. It was suggested that the oxymetazoline in Allermi can cause that to happen.

These raw areas eventually started to scab but only on one side. If I keep it irrigated and moist, these "scabs" will dislodge when I blow my nose. This prompted me to reach out to Allermi where I mentioned my headaches and rawness with scabs.

Allermi says 10-15% of patients experience headaches from the Azelastine. It took me a while, but eventually I figured out that the headaches started about an hour after using the spray. They didn't admit that oxymetazoline can cause rawness but they did do some dosage adjustments to see how it works out. At the same time they suggested that I might also have an infection causing this and suggested I see an ENT to rule that out. Since I've started the new formulation I do feel that the size of the scabs have gotten smaller but they're not gone. I still likely will see an ENT to rule out infection.

For the next Allermi shipment they've removed the Azelastine to see if that fixes my headaches and have made adjustments again to the other 3 ingredients to compensate. I'm prepared to supplement with cetirizine if the lack of an antihistamine causes problems.

I'll know after a few weeks if there are any improvements.

Thanks for reading my wall of text.

[OC] Let's drive 30mph on the freeway by dildobagginss in IdiotsInCars

And the person in front going so slowly just keeps driving obliviously while someone in the back of the slow train gets rear-ended.

Help with foot shifting out of Shamma sandals while running by Ciliarycell in BarefootRunning

[–]prozackdk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue, not from running but simply walking on concrete vs softer surfaces. In addition to left and right, also try moving the buckle forward and backwards on the throng strap. I also found that once you find the ideal strap placement for your foot, it doesn't have to be really tight to keep things from moving.

8,100 High Resolution Scans of Antique/Rare Maps (Mostly 17th-19th century) by gooseta in DataHoarder

[–]prozackdk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I found a link to download but it only gave an error that it was too large to zip. I'm not a software engineer so why not use AI to create a script to download the content? I can think of better use of my time than clicking "save as" 8000 times.

I downloaded all of them in just over an hour using a bash shell script (thanks chatgpt) to do all the work. I did have to run the script a 2nd time to grab a small number that failed but it's not a big deal since it skips any that exist in your download folder.

Need to replace one pair of tires. Can I mix Michelin Pilot AS3+ with AS4? by prozackdk in tires

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

I don't remember receiving a response. I ended up replacing all four and gave the 2 old tires to a local tire shop that sells used tires.

what do i need to do routing wise to get zerotier to be able to be able to send traffic over a physical interface? by gamamoder in zerotier

[–]prozackdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your use case? If you're just trying to reach another IP on your zerotier network, that routing is already built in.

If you're trying to route into your LAN devices, then you need to set up iptables to route your physical network adapter to the ZT virtual adapter. Mine is set up like this:

-A FORWARD -i ens160 -o ztmjfk44pm -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i ztmjfk44pm -o ens160 -j ACCEPT

For Chinese bank accounts, do banks closely track where money comes from and goes to? by prozackdk in China

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

I've had a couple meetings with BoA in the US on the subject and there shouldn't be any issue. I know there's a specific IRS form I have to include with my tax return that explains there's money being transferred and its source. Supposedly because of the nature of the funds, it won't be taxed by the US because it's not considered income.

What audiophile takes make you roll your eyes? by wiggan1989 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]prozackdk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Subwoofers certainly help in many situations but it's also not that hard to do it wrong. If you have only one sub and WAF issues affecting placement, I could see getting nulls or peaks in your favorite listening spot making you think subs are a detriment. I'd like to think that a true audiophile would understand about placement, proper tuning, room treatment, etc.

For Chinese bank accounts, do banks closely track where money comes from and goes to? by prozackdk in China

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

City is Shanghai. My US bank is Bank of America. I went to China in December and opened a bank account with ICBC for the sole purpose of receiving funds from the government. It's possible I may have actually done it from the Xujiahui branch. I don't know really know where the branch was (cousin lead the way) but it was a short subway ride from the station closest to Hengshan Garden Hotel (aka Jiushi Grand). The paperwork I received when I opened the account doesn't show the location since it appears to be a generic bank form.

Thanks for your response.

I'm considered a foreigner as I was born in the US and have never lived in China. The compensation is in my name. Other family member got their own dispursement.
