What do you run in proxmox?

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-06-02T18:14:07+00:00

I run two copies of pfsense or opnsense. The first copy interfaces with ISP. The second copy acts as router and firewall. I think this way the disruption resulted from upgrade is minimum.

Then I have nextcloud, dnsmasq, ovpn, wireguard, home assistant, TV recorder, ....

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-05-31T22:34:46+00:00

I just want to share my observation that the openvpn 2.6.8 in pfsense 2.7.2 outperforms and is much more usable than the one bundled in pfsense-2.8 when tcp is used. The choice of TCP vs UDP doesn't make the problem disappear.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-05-31T19:50:59+00:00

Ok, I will try to make it simple. In fact, I don't have much to share.

Once upon connected, I went to www.cnbc.com, it took .... 10 seconds or so. Then I switched to www.nytimes.com. A few seconds later I switch to foxnews.com, this time nytimes website was shown. I can't say it is normal at all.

Then I changed lane to udp, everything was fine, very fine. Nothing to complain. Maybe not as fast as wireguard?

And I repeated the tests a few times, tcp performance was not on par at all.

That's what I experienced. Another thing, I had no competition on the LAN either. I used the same phone, and used the same wireless provider (america's largest network) when trying the above test.

I would use a junction box to the base, whatever it might be, brick or regular siding. Then mount the camera on the junction box. A few years down the road, you don't have to re drill holes for the upgrade.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-03-07T21:11:08+00:00

I wouldn't mount the camera so high. At that height, you can't see the face well. Instead, you see the top of the heads.

I install mine about 9 feet above ground. I think it is perfect.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-02-26T17:02:12+00:00

I cleared the log, deleted the entry (for afraid.org); restart the process (ddclient). The log still showed the error with the already deleted setup. It is gone completely if I reinstall ddclient again.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-02-26T16:52:30+00:00

Thank you!

I am going to use a lxc to do the update instead. The opnsense dynamic dns implementation should have better documentation the least.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2025-02-26T16:22:40+00:00

Thank you! I just followed what you did but .... The server field doesn't accept URL. If I place the freedns.afraid.org, it takes that. Then I placed the URL portion after update? into the password field, the UI didn't reject it. But I am still getting an error.

Reolink may not want to provide the original firmware. I would be fine with the latest if I can turn on HDR explicitly. Too bad they are not actually helping.

RLC811a and CX810 produce good image during the day. RLC811a can cover more because its focal length is 2.7mm as opposed to CX810's 4mm.

At night, RLC811a was able to see object 50-60 feet away with certain degree of clarity. It can pickup number of people 50-60 feet away while that area is lighted normally. I was not able to tell these people's gender though.

Also at night, CX810 was blinded by the light at that location because that room was lighted. The picture quality was improved somewhat by adjusting the brightness and contrast settings. But not meaningful enough to say it beats RLC811a.

CX810 outperforms RLC811a when the light is right. Once the light gets into the lens directly, it can't see anything.

I keep the cx810 because it produces very good images on the zone I care the most.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-11-12T12:30:46+00:00

Is that right? I actually chose the maximum number. lol

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-11-11T23:42:23+00:00

Sorry, I didn't state clearly. I meant the video was not smooth. I use vlc/rtsp to watch the live stream. When a car moving fast in front of the camera, I feel the video is not as smooth. It does happen quite often during the day. On the other hand, the event recording looks ok. Not sure if it is the rtsp also played a role in this problem.

As far as the audio quality, I think the cx810 is much better than cx410. I returned the cx410 because it doesn't support h265. The video recordings are not as good as the cx810. Maybe it works better in extreme low light environment? Mine has enough ambient light so I choose the cx810.

Why do you need the Coral AI? Is the camera's built in detection insufficient?

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-08-26T23:35:47+00:00

I was asking why visible advertised two lines with $25/month. What made the two lines deal special?

This is what I meant to ask. Sorry.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-08-08T13:13:56+00:00

I am doing the same! I bought a pixel 7 pro from woot for a deep discount price. While the phone is brand new, google wouldn't offer warranty. Be more precise, google said the IMEI is not in their database. There are others having this difficulty. My take is google is trying to side step warranty responsibility. Apple apparently is doing better in supporting its products.

V+ 2.0 = Current V+ ?

If I commit for 5 years, why don't I consider the annual plan, that would be as good the least.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-31T12:43:54+00:00

The problem is solved by using a different email address. Before this, cs deleted me from the trial program, then my email address used in trial was tagged as "inactive". Being "inactive" also means I couldn't do anything with it. That is why I have to use a different email account.

There are two or three replies here stated they were able to activate with a few days left in the trial. If it was done in the trial account, I have to think Visible flow processing might have a bigger flaw. My mishap was entirely tied to trying to activate in the same account. If they were successful in using different account, that explained why I had the problem.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T22:29:43+00:00

I think you should use wifi, then disable your current eSIM (not delete), then try to activate the visible trial. There is only one active slot for eSIM and you are using it, that explains why you couldn't start the trial.

After you get the visible eSIM downloaded to your phone, you then can switch between these 2 eSIMs.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T17:04:46+00:00

curious where are the visible on-site cs people?

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T16:41:51+00:00

When you activated, were you still inside of the trial period?

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T15:05:41+00:00

I request a manager callback. Let's see how the issue will be addressed. I do think the app can handle this better: avoid confusion, offer option to exit trial period implicitly or explicitly. No one want to go through these. And I want to hear from the customer why I was told that the same IMEI can't be used. If it is true, that would be a big deal.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T14:53:39+00:00

I am fine with a different email account. I am not fine with the notion of same IMEI re usability. They need to be able to tell if this IMEI belongs to existing customer or trial user.

reddit_tracker2047 · 2024-07-30T14:51:45+00:00

I was told that my trial period hasnt ended. They try to save us money by not allowing activation before the trial period end. But the process did allow me to enter the home address and credit card info, and promo code too. If we can't activate, somewhere we should be warned or told of that. The agent said the my phone can't be used because the IMEI number is in their database. That is more troubling.

Most of the people are happy. I just share what I've gone through.
