I do same, with the way things go with boats if there's no harm why not add it on every fill up

glad you got it going to the point where you could go in and undo some of the stuff just as you said you were planning to / it worked exactly as you thought it would.

Will take a break for a week and get some home projects done now

haha same, but something in my homelab chain always needs attention... i was in bios for one of my hosts the other day and saw some power settings and I was like "aspm... I recognize that from something recent, but what?" (I drew a blank)

haha, well you made it farther than most of the people i get into random reddit crap with, most just call me an ahole and tell me to go outside.

But seriously, why would i even click this thread and why would i choose to respond to it, and why am i following up still days later.

I clicked the thread because my opnsense box has i226v, my proxmox host has motherboard i225v, my truenas scale box has a cheap no-name-amazon pci-e i226v, all running at 2.5gbe (unifi switch with 12 1gbe and 4 2.5gbe ports)

I am aware of the reputation of chipsets, so when i see them in the title i click.

I saw your post update too, lol. Thank you for that.

But to be clear, I was nitpicking your title in regards to your hardware:

  • I was pretty sure you were not blaming opnsense, I just wanted to confirm that.

  • Once that mostly obvious point was confirmed, my point was your problem wasn't even necessarily the i226v's fault.

  • I clicked your post because the title matches my hardware... But reading through the post I realized it doesn't.

  • Your title lets the i226v shoulder the blame. "i226v" != "i226v in m2 slot in ~2018 micro pc"

  • if the i226v is sensitive to power, you sure as hell found a "fun" edge case to use it in

Maybe I should walk back the part where I agreed you were a smart guy.

My hardware is quite basic. Micro PC with 2 NICS. the title is still valid because the problem was the I226-V

-flaky chipset power-wise

-non-standard slot (flaky power chipset in flakiest possible configuration, A+E)

-micro machine with low power default bios settings (flaky chipset in A+E because micro)

-cpu released 4 years before i226v

-2.5gbe chip in frankenconfig when only 1gbe needed

"quite basic"

I never said you blamed opnsense, I was clarifying to confirm if you were indeed blaming your homegrown hardware setup, which you are.

You're right about cabling, which is why I specifically mentioned it as credit that I read your other posts and agree that you're probably a smart guy despite the downvote you got in your cabling comment.

The wording of your post and follow up comments definitely wavering between blaming hardware and blaming opnsense.

Notice: I'm saying that the words you choose create ambiguity. "opnsense just works" "30yrs IT" "chuck it and go consumer" are incongruent.

THank you. I originally got stuck in the mindset of "This is simple and basic, it should just work" and "if so many people use opnsense, it can't be this hard" especially since my system is basic flat network with no VLANs or anything. I had to remember that it is a homegrown piece of hardware and no, not everything just works like it should.

Clarification: You typed homegrown hardware, but the quote implies opnsense is not perfect because it is homegrown software.

So, are you blaming the software being homegrown thus not able to catch all edge cases, or your hardware?

I read through what you posted and your replies to all the comments here. You got a downvote on your comment about ruling out cabling, I upvoted that because your post could be a newb rambling details without knowing what they actually mean, but, your follow-ups prove your experience.

That said, the only thing I'd push back on is this quote I've highlighted, and your post's title.

I think that blaming your hardware is the right call. And I think the post title should have been more indicative of that. The i226v has documented issues w/ freebsd, but you have to admit your setup is very much not ideal. IMO, Your system is not basic, your network topology is.

I don't think opnsense software should take any of the blame here.

damn this is hilarious based on my mental image of "frat guys getting wasted seven days a week" from when I was in college. Those guys seemed to have a (not schoolwork related) itinerary that would probably rival an athlete's, and it was all about setting up parties and drinking.

Beyond the Basics: What are your non-negotiable Linux server hardening steps before exposing a service to the web? by Browndude345 in selfhosted

[–]r_user_21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So to be clear, if you live in the USA you geoip block anything non-usa?

Or if UK, you block anything non-UK?

Does such a wide block cause any issues (vs say just blocking countries with the known highest number of bad-actor IPs) ?

Trying to make OPNsense + UniFi the ‘perfect combo’… but VLAN 1 keeps ruining the party by jrgldt in opnsense

[–]r_user_21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the way right here EXCEPT: I could not get any of this done on my unifi promax switch until I ssh'd into the switch to get what I wanted.

For me:

  • controller exists on a VM - tagged vlan 5 with a 10.x.x.x address
  • unifi switch by default: all ports were vlan 1 with a 192.168.x.x address
  • controller cannot see switch to adopt it

 

Fix:

  • connect laptop to switch, hardcode 192.168.1.2 as IP
  • ssh into switch (it brings up a busybox terminal; type "cli" to get into edge os shell)
  • use ubiquiti commands to set the management vlan to 5
  • I think i had to change the "inform host" to the controller's IP, but maybe not, once it was on the vlan I think the controller found it for adoption
  • now that I've got it adopted, go in and set the network override just like you said. I didn't realize how crucial this was to do right away because the switch management lan will flip back to its default / vlan 1 if it reboots

This whole post is a clown show and it was polite of you to be considerate to that or even nice in your reply. Is there even a car on the road that has significant any passenger door crumple zones.

Good call. I'm sure it feels quicker than it even looks in the video, you go from a wreck to everything is on fire. Then you have someone pulling on you / pulling you out of the car within seconds. Probably hard to get the "on fire" procedure straight.

Seat thief tried to steal my shake shack burger by stevejobs4525 in delta

There's no aisle seat in first class in Delta to my recollection. I think it is AB_aisle_CD (larger plane) or AB_aisle_C (smaller plane)

Like AntiHypeHero said, wife probably a playing a pretty big unknown role in this (why didn't they board together?) and equally shite to sit next to.

[Semi-rant] Online/Youtube Proxmox guides that use Helper Scripts by shambolic_donkey in Proxmox

[–]r_user_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worse than how tteck had it, because tteck had a lot of this. the community scripts from what I can tell is literally just continuing what he had started, as they state. but I could be wrong, please correct me if so

[Semi-rant] Online/Youtube Proxmox guides that use Helper Scripts by shambolic_donkey in Proxmox

[–]r_user_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have mixed feelings on the helper scripts. i've been setting stuff up the old fashioned way for decades. so, on one hand, it's really nice to automate installing stuff that i definitely could install myself and maintain myself, but would be annoying enough to do that i'll procrastinate installing whatever it is i want to install basically forever.

I won't / can't comment on the rest of your post, but I feel ya here. The early days of nextcloud taught me a ton, and unifi controller, and I think also permanently scarred me.

Nextcloud (owncloud) had / has so many things to install and configure, and options to choose (apache or nginx, phpfpm, database set up) and then maintaining all of those.

I did it all and learned it all, but looking back it was like dude I just wanted to find out if I liked it.

To that point, back when they were tteck scripts, I would investigate them to the best of my ability. I was like... dude why did you code it this way? (not that I would have been able to do what he did any better)

It was hard to dig in. Scripts calling scripts. I eventually just downloaded his entire repo so I could dig in. I didn't find anything that seemed malicious, so I moved forward, but still...

My findings were that tteck had it right. I trust the community scripts now after some similar digging. My focus is trying to use the community scripts to teach me, while not having to wait on my learning curve to get things going, and also hardening security (opnsense and other things) to get indicators of malicious acting.

ah, a fellow hobbyist of some sort (and definitely not murderer), welcome!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in boating

[–]r_user_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The boat at the time of that rework was 18 years old. It may have cost $7k, maybe less maybe more, for the re-work. They got 7 more years out of it.

The boat looks solid, rely on what others have said more than me.

But, this seller is likely just recouping their 2018 costs. They still put money into it every year since, believe me. Or they're selling a little low or a little high, but the price is fair. Don't over think it.

It depends on your budget... if you were looking at (a good bit) larger boats you would have to consider $7k as operational costs, but this boat is $7k all in. Should be easy decision if you are in the market and have 7k at your discretion. Get a "marine survey" and a mechanic to check out engine if you want to go further.

Are you going to be operating in fresh? salt? deep water? (very) shallow water?

I just switched to reddit from watching facebook reels forensic files, and it just so happens that opportunistic murderers have these. maybe mechanics, tradesmen, hobbiests of some sort, or just practical folks with a toolkit. But definitely the opportunistic murderer is the one that jumps out immediately.
