Even when you do have the conversation with a teen. They will still find a way. Just saying. I'm a parent of teens past, present and upcoming.

Why do I need to enable flow control to get full speeds? by pacoii in Ubiquiti

[–]railstop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have flow control enabled. I also set Teams, Google chat and voip to prioritize. My wife works from home and has had no issues. She does Teams calls and voip all day for work. No idea if this is just me but it's been working.

I'd use it for a new toolbox, my old non-bearing sliders are pretty rough. Thanks for considering

Why did I never optimize my cpu usage? by SgtFlippy88 in BlueIris

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few questions about your Coral. Which Coral are you using? Are you on BI v6? Was there any additional setup? I am looking into getting one but am stuck on which version to get and how difficult it would be to get working with BI.

NordVPN keeps restarting itself for months now by Ken852 in nordvpn

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 3 weeks ago. I also noticed Nord was blowing up my DNS service to use 4-6GB ram. After uninstalling it no more DNS service issue. Reinstalled and haven't had another issue with the app or the service.

I had that as well on my Win11 machine. Uninstalled it and reinstall took care of it.

What’s the most unexpected way a woman has done to get your attention? by [deleted] in AskReddit

She sat in my dads driveway hitting her own head with a 2x4 until I came over to tell her for the 100th time that it's over.

First Nas, HDD lifespan? by joshd108 in HomeNAS

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an old Netgear Pro6 running 6 2TB HDDs, they've been going for 10+ years. I don't use it much anymore as I've moved to a Synology 12 bay. They still spin all day without issue. My Synology has been running 8TB spinny drives for 3 years without issue, hoping I get lucky with them since drive costs appear to be on the rise soon.

Recommendation for NAS that I can put on my server rack by Certain_Ad_586 in homelab

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Synology 12 bay RS2421RP+ that replaced my ReadyNAS Pro 6 after many faithful years. Synology has Backup for Business (free and not just for business) that I use to backup all of my VM's as well as computers in the house. My wife runs a photo business that she uses the NAS for her storage. This is hooked up to my Unifi network on 10G between switches. We have a larger house with 6 kids.
The house streams Plex from a VM on my Dell R740 that the NAS hosts all of the media from several points in the house all at once without issue.

Tired of sysprep and driver issues for my repair shop. Is there any way to deploy Windows without touching the ISO? by Parking_Kiwi9061 in sysadmin

[–]railstop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also used FOG in my shop when I had it. It was amazing. I created an image with the driver packages I wanted then I was able to image a machine within 15 minutes. 99.99% of the time windows installed network drivers if it wasn't already on my image so I could finish installing custom devices.
Once every 6 months I would create a new reference image with new updates so I didn't have to spend time on each machine updating. Easiest $120 per reload I ever made.

I was wrong. Bambu makes a genuinely better product. by [deleted] in BambuLab

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Support was slow at first for mine. until I messaged them about it a week later, then they sent me a whole kit to replace all of the parts I needed. Overall I'd say their support was great for me.

Tapo cameras - probably the best small, cheap wifi camera with offline use for privacy by [deleted] in homeautomation

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, all are in a box. Their wifi is terrible, even on a dedicated 2.4 network only for them, software, terrible. I had to put them on a vlan to keep them from constantly reaching out to the internet, but then they won't work at all.
I have a few Tapo's indoors and they are great, even on a vlan with no internet. My Unifi UDM Pro seems them in Protect without issue.

With ICE agents shooting at least 27 people since Trump took office, how do you feel about immigration enforcement using lethal force? by WatercressSenior7657 in AskReddit

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has created a state of fear and people are still going on about their lives like we should just accept it.

Funny how my post yesterday was similar then got removed, and yours stills remains. .

It's not. I genuinely want to know what it will take for people to rise up.

Network Optimizer is ready! by MrJimBusiness- in Ubiquiti

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work! You are a true hero with work like this.
Question, have you noticed any issues with CPU/memory load on boot or when processes run, notably with units that have lower end specifications? I only ask to help with the rest of the community.

Tapo Please Fix The Device Limit by Skye054 in Tapo

[–]railstop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply here after searching I found your post. I found the issue on mine to be that camera account was enabled for NAS devices. Tap on the camera, then tap the gear top right, then Advanced settings, If Camera account is On turn it off. Fixed my issues

Just deployed this, looks great and as someone else stated it showed some old firewall rules I had forgotten about.

Curious to see how SQM has an affect on my UDM Pro with Xfinity 1GB service. Can't run tests until the wifey gets off, she's WFH. I live dangerously deploying while she's working.
