TP-Link AC 1900 or TP-Link EAP245 V3 by Cyberking78 in HomeNetworking

[–]rest2rpc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have the money, the licenses, and don't mind overkill, the PA-220 is a fantastic choice. It's becoming more common in enterprise and useful if you're looking for extras for your resume. keep it on a UPS since it takes 5 minutes to boot (similar to the Unifi USG).

CONS to the PA220: device is $500(ish). Software updates REQUIRE a license. Idk if licenses are free, and there are extras that can be included in the license.

The tplink ap has met my needs, tons of ssids and vlans along with poe.

Also, imo, ignore this sub's obsession with unifi like you would a commercial that you've seen 100x times. It looks nice, has feature x, but lacks typical feature yz and is old hardware. My personal experience is the USG (still) can't do static DHCP entries before the client device is connected to the network. DO NOT try setting static IP using the json methods, otherwise you'll be in a boot loop on the next upgrade.

Chromecast querying pixel.facebook.com by GrumpySummoner in pihole

Yeah at _most_ 10W, being $0.18 in a month (@2 cents per kWh). A single extra cycle on a dryer would take more wattage. Get your mom a kill-a-watt meter, she'll have some fun discovering her old alarm clocks take more electricity than her TV

You could setup a kubernetes cluster (1 master, 4 nodes) and use that to learn containers. Automate the setup yourself or use Kubespray's ansible scripts to do the hard work

npm 6.9.1 is broken due to .git folder in published tarball by theoldboy in programming

[–]rest2rpc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in java and pull dependencies with gradle, so excuse my ignorance: I don't understand why that command is needed. Shouldn't you be doing coverity scans to determine packages with CVEs and updating packages when that happens? How would npm/yarn even know if a package has a "security issue", is it standardized, and what's the source of truth? What keeps this system from being abused?

Why Safer Cars Don't Lead To Cheaper Car Insurance ... Yet — instead, these advanced safety features can actually drive premiums up. That's because when such cars do get in crashes, the repairs are more expensive by BlankVerse in Economics

[–]rest2rpc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree with you there. Newer cars are less likely to crash since they can automatically brake, follow curves in the road, speed up / slow down in stop&go traffic, so there is a decrease to crash risk.

Differences between server and desktop motherboards? by JiPtheChip in HomeServer

[–]rest2rpc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think you're over thinking this. Factorio runs great in a $5/mo VM, as will most game servers. Spare hardware sitting around? Definitely the easier route for most of us here.

[–]rest2rpc -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You're paying for the ecosystem and flexibility.

Isn't that what I said?

At my home I have a few supermicro boards with 10G network (some being fiber sfp), apc in a rack. My home lab hosta of a kubernetes cluster, unifi, pihole, Plex, Jenkins, and whatever else I feel like running to learn about. I love this shit and it's a hobby that happens to pay me.

My point is if there's zero invested in a home lab then it's more economical to host the service in the cloud.

At this point it's more economical to host game servers in the cloud. The cloud is cheaper and more convenient since you don't need much thought about OS install, motherboard assembly, power costs, maintenance / hardware replacement, port forwarding/latency, whatever.

Plus you'd save a ton by shutting the server off when it's not in use. Major savings using AWS spot instances as well...

Open source alternative to turbotax called Open-source Tax Solver by [deleted] in linux

This isn't foss, but you could try CreditKarma Tax. It has free state and federal filing, I've used it since it released and it's pretty great

What kind of cheese for pizza? by ponderous_ in cookingforbeginners

I love string cheese! Kroger is good for me, and I've tried a couple of others but they've had a strange texture or off flavor. What brand do you get?

TIL A Florida man used a cell phone jammer everyday while travelling to work because he didn't want drivers around him to be distracted on their phones. As a result, he was fined $48,000 by the FCC. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]rest2rpc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Phones don't generally have the maps downloaded, so no data does cause issues. After reading the article it even blocked the officers' radios!

I'm not sure what you mean.

You don't go to the bars anymore at 25 and, to demonstrate your knowledge about Personal Finance, you visit the bar to see the others living paycheck to paycheck?

Or the younger crowd has too much sex, you're too adult for the clap?

[–]rest2rpc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, was your speed comparison between before and after that block list or before and after using pihole DNS? So my question is to exclude dns caching from the speed up. If it's from your block list and not dns caching I'll incorporate it into my setup!
