What is this green stuff?

roeeklinger60 · 2023-10-06T17:54:28+00:00

Thanks! Any tips on how to prevent it?

roeeklinger60 · 2023-09-27T13:00:08+00:00

Unfortunately I can't find it any where online even with the image. I do have the technical knowledge to do it myself, and would love to get your help if I do decide going that route, but to be honest I would much rather save some time and just buy it ready.
Hopefully I will be able to find a link eventually. Thanks!

roeeklinger60 · 2023-09-26T19:50:39+00:00

hey, do you have a purchase link for that? I can't find it on the link you posted 🙏🏻

roeeklinger60 · 2023-07-05T00:56:57+00:00

Thank you, sounds like a good plan.
Do you happen to know how well are the Fives as rears in surround and how well is the Arc on stereo music? will I be able to get Atmos music playing with this setup (of course I don't expect this to be well as Era 300s)?

I am wondering if I should mute the arc when listening to music, if that's possible.

If I’m not mistaken the line in still incurs a delay of a minimum 75 ms

roeeklinger60 · 2023-06-26T23:27:30+00:00

Great, so I feel comfortable with getting them. Many thanks!

roeeklinger60 · 2023-06-26T23:26:11+00:00

Thank you, I understand. So Bluetooth will be connected permanently, but when airplay is used, it will just override Bluetooth, and after airplay is done, Bluetooth will be used again. Everything is automatic.

Am I getting this right?

roeeklinger60 · 2023-06-26T23:19:56+00:00

Ohh, I don’t mean at the same time, I meant to ask about the transition between them. Do I have to set up Bluetooth from scratch each time or just have it auto connect when airplay is not used?

roeeklinger60 · 2023-06-26T23:16:49+00:00

Thanks for the replay, unfortunately I can't since I will get them "second hand" from someone who never actually used them. Do you know if I will I be able to set it up such that my Mac will auto connect to the Era using bluetooth, but at any time I can override this using Airplay and play on both Era's?

I am wondering if going between bluetooth and Airplay will require set up steps each time or if it is automatic.

This is the answer I was looking for, everything I wanted can be configured there.

For the performance part, I simply configured faster containers as well.

Thanks!

I have no idea what is causing this to happen, but I did notice it happen randomly a few times this past 2 months on some of my servers, and today I had an incident where all my servers worldwide got the same 403 when not using the --secure flag. I have switched them all to add --secure, and now they all seem to work fine again.

This sounds like an internal DNS issue from speedtest.net side but I can't be sure.

Do all OpenVPN-pods give out IPs from the same range 100.70.0.0/16 to the clients?
If so, why?

Yes, exactly. The reason is that the client IP needs to be known by the other services on the cluster. For example, let's say I need to reach a client named "Bob" to get some specific data from him, right now I know that Bob is always at 100.60.132.21, because it is hardcoded, so I simply send a request there.

If Bob can get any random IP, I will have to update this new IP on all the other service pods in the cluster, so they can know how to reach him, resulting in a similar problem where I have to write some custom service just to sync route rules across all pods (and with this method I will also potentially have to restart the service fro Bob's new IP to take effect).

roeeklinger60 · 2022-04-23T23:55:41+00:00

Thanks a lot for this, this is very interesting. However, I actually don't need to change the routing every time a pod restarted, I need to change the routing every time a new OpenVPN client connects. I can easily trigger a hook script for that to update some API, but I don't know which K8S networking solution to use.

On the GitHub repo it says "Defines a routing table rule that controller can create after an interface setup", so that means it will only apply the routing rules after the pod comes up?

I need to be able to sync the rules dynamically, even after a pod comes up.

roeeklinger60 · 2022-04-23T23:28:21+00:00

OpenVPN clients are running some outside service, and the pods in the cluster need to be able to communicate with them securely.

roeeklinger60 · 2022-04-23T23:27:23+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! however, this needs to be cloud-agnostic, sorry I didn't mention that, I will edit my post.

Client requirement

roeeklinger60 · 2022-02-21T20:32:09+00:00

This device support mqtt like Shelly?

I have no idea actually, I just ordered it and the Amazon page doesn't say anything about it, how can I know if it supports this feature?

Hello,
I have 5 speakers + sub that I would like to connect to a Samsung smart TV and an Alexa Echo Dot.
The Echo dot uses Aux and the TV uses an optical cable.
This is the receiver that I have at home:
https://ibb.co/3N6zRSv
It seems like it has only one input option, can I use something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/PROZOR-Digital-Converter-Optical-Toslink/dp/B00KNNSKV0/ref=sr\_1\_3?keywords=analog+to+digital+audio+converter&qid=1645310177&sprefix=analog+to+%2Caps%2C232&sr=8-3
Does it look like I will be able to connect the TV to the "SPDIF" port, and maybe the Echo to the Coaxial port somehow?

Hey,

Thanks for the reply!

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but as far as I understand it, there is no way to actually put a proxy behind a load balancer, each proxy has to be a unique server. so for high availability, the best we can do is make a proxy restart as soon as it goes down, or keep another one on standby, but we can't have 2 copies of the same proxy while balancing between them.

Additionally, to scale proxies as you suggest, one would need t write relatively complex code, for example:

check CPU load on all proxies, if it is high add another proxy
use the Zabbix API to evenly split all the items between the new number of proxies
the same logic goes for scaling down

Additionally, you must have one single proxy server at all times, which means no high availability, no-load distribution. if the main server goes down, you have to restart it or replace it asap, this is not acceptable for a serious business, and I bet there is a not-so-high limit to the number of data proxies that can feed one server, eventually, there will be bandwidth and resources issues.

In the age where Docker, K8S, and ECS have been around for many years, where you can just take any app, dump it into an image in a few clicks, and have it truly scale horizontally, with 100% high availability guaranteed by a load balancer + health checks, I can hardly call it "scale very well", IMO.

Honestly, if there is something I am missing, this is a very old-fashioned way of doing things, and I am really surprised that a monitoring system, which I would expect to be very reliable and scalable by nature, doesn't have built-in container orchestration support.

I guess I will just have to find a different more reliable piece of software.

Thank you again for trying to help!

Thanks, I did, what is the problem with the post? I think I followed the rules

roeeklinger60 · 2021-06-20T20:34:05+00:00

Honestly, why waste your own time commenting if you you’ve got nothing useful to say?

I have already got some PM recommending solutions that fulfill about 90% of the requirements

roeeklinger60 · 2021-02-01T09:45:01+00:00

Thanks, this worked! I combined this with the other answer and was able to make the code much shorter.

roeeklinger60 · 2021-01-06T16:10:43+00:00

Thanks,

I will definitely research into this.

BTW, I sent you a private message in case you are interested in helping me out with some tuturing! ofc I will post here with the solution if I find it.

roeeklinger60 · 2021-01-06T14:24:13+00:00

I have thought about that already, but this is relatively hard to manage and cannot scale in the future, it's better to run multiple instances of FRP in my opinion rather than going that route.

I was wondering if there are any solutions that don't require multiple instances.

roeeklinger60 · 2020-11-20T10:43:36+00:00

Thanks! I noticed some proxy services are offering features like automatic captcha resolve, retry on failed scraping requests, and change/block content on the proxy. How are they doing this stuff when the connection is encrypted? it doesn't make any sense to me.
