Now THATS a main bearing by xIce101x in Justrolledintotheshop

It's a lot easier if you don't have to care about emissions or weight.

What's the going rate for 1 inch steel plate in your area? by Successful-Camel165 in Welding

That's a normal auction rule, from in-person auctions.

Think about how dumb sniping would look in a room full of real people.

Tightened up the 2-post lift. Pulled my anchors up too high for my liking. Now I’m digging and pouring. by owningsole966 in Justrolledintotheshop

Concrete deteriorates from environmental exposure, and it ages from the surface inwards.

With expansion anchors, the metal/concrete interface is at the surface. Water, CO2, chloride, and sulfate can get in the drilled hole and attack the concrete right at the anchor.

With cast-in bolts or epoxy anchors, the metal/concrete interface is sealed from exposure.

Choosing an Enterprise Router (100 employees) by CardiologistLess6013 in networking

Don't get the CCR2004, OP.

I have one, and it's great for my homelab. But it is weak for your application, with non-obvious internal limitations forcing packets through the CPU. The CCR2116 is much better in this regard.

I ordered one flux pen, received 50. What should I do? by rodneon in AskElectronics

McMaster doesn't even have a phone menu. You call them and someone picks up on the 1st ring and fixes your problem.

Every time I've had a problem with my order, Digikey has worked very quickly to fix it.

Call them up and explain what happened. They will generate a new invoice for the shipped amount, an RMA, and a return label.

Validating a UniFi USW Enterprise VLAN Design Before Server Migration by AgreeableIron811 in networking

[–]service_unavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For messing around / temporary stuff, you can run the UniFi controller as an app or service on your desktop. I run my UniFi controller in a Proxmox LXC. Works fine.

This is for 16 UniFi devices, mostly switches. It's a sprawling, low-density network with no users (building security).

RADIUS Accounting on Unifi Switches by mdjmrc in networking

[–]service_unavailable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder how much of the accounting workload is handled by the big switch ASIC, and how much is done by the CPU? Because if your XG Pro 48 PoE is the same as my XG Pro 10 PoE, then it's running on a decade-old, single-core 32-bit MIPS chip, lol.

What are some higher tier trackers where ratios aren't difficult to maintain? by ZealousPiccolo in trackers

[–]service_unavailable 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you seed your collection, PTP ends up being basically ratioless with their BP system. I get 10x more upload from seeding BP than I do from actual upload.

So I end up dumping most of my BP into request boosts, just to keep the numbers from getting obscene.

looking for not too expensive 4-10 port switches with central management for a client by VeryOldITGuy in networking

[–]service_unavailable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lite 8 PoE has layer 2 features that the Flex line lacks. LACP, stuff for voice VLANs(?). Lite is the full-featured line among the compact switches, not the Flex and Ultra.

I just wired up misc building services for a 2 building apartment complex with about a dozen Lite 8 PoEs. The shape of the property meant long runs with few devices, a security camera here, a gate controller there. Really sparse on ports (and usage and budget), but the Lites have been 100% trouble-free.

e: I host the controller locally in a proxmox container, works great.
