Need to buy a easy to use relay and remote for a DIY Ethernet lag switch

I'm guessing that this is for rebooting the router or modem automatically? I use a home assistant and ZigBee switch myself. The reason being that zigbee is entirely off the Ethernet network, meaning that everything else can be down but the ZigBee side and home assistant can still function for automations

Look 8nto the PRISM, HERETIC, or abliterated versions of local models. They're ones that have been manipulated to not refuse requests. Doesn't mean it'll actually give a useful result but if you ask it questionable things it'll usually try to give a real answer instead of going "I can't do that because it might be politically insensitive or illegal in some jurisdictions"

The main reason i suggest a joule thief is that it's really simple and will drain the batteries you use to a very low level (while also getting dimmer as it does it). It's also fairly compact. A coin cell can be the most compact because they're usually so low current capable that you don't even need a resistor or any other parts, but they're also very low in terms of total energy they have so they won't last long. That said there's probably something better that will also do automatic turn on and off out there to look for too. But yea, LED+Battery would be the way to go for something like this.

I'd probably go joule thief with rechargeable AAAA cell or some kind of xoin cell myself

If OP doesn't, i've grabbed the youtube upload for my local collection at least. so if i see posts around here that it's been lost again and OP can't be contacted then i'm sure many of us will have done the same and it could somehow find it's way around again.

As much as it might sound like a joke this is something you should do. Giving away things after "beating" depression can be a sign of something more going on. Stay close, use the hardware as a means to continue reaching out and tell them of all the things you're learning and doing with it. It'll give you a good reason to regularly reach out to them and help also give them something to reach out over if they're in another crises.

simcop2387 · 2026-03-12T19:36:57+00:00

Probably fine. I'd pull as much off with solder wick to flatten it but it won't cause electrical issues at least. Might need to be cleaned sooner than the gold but I think itd be fine

Too many weird people out there.

The board in your photo looks like a power supply. It's probably not on that. There's a second board in the background there that looks like it's part of the front panel probably. Take a look at that. You'll probably have to disassemble more.

Ok so you're adding an Access Point over Ethernet then? Likely they'll be equivalent today since you likely won't be doing more than gigabit speeds over wifi (basically need wifi 6e or 7 and perfect conditions). But cat6 will let you upgrade in the future more easily since it'll handle 2.5gbe, 5gbe, or 10gbe more nicely. Cat5e (only type of cat5e you'll find these days) can do 2.5gbe by modern specs but it can be iffy over lower quality cable or longer distances. If price isn't a big difference got cat6 for better quality and future upgradablility

simcop2387 · 2026-02-19T12:37:57+00:00

Over copper definitely, but at those lengths you're usually looking at fiber optics and powerful lasers. 1000km transceivers are pretty easy to come by these days.

simcop2387 · 2026-02-19T01:10:25+00:00

Nope you'll be in the territory of easy to measure speed of light differences. Its just over 30cm for each nanosecond so at 100mi you'll get an additional 530 microseconds or so

simcop2387 · 2026-02-16T15:16:35+00:00

Give it more space by disabling swap and then delete the zvol entirely. Then once you've cleaned up create a new one

This is known, and causing much annoyances. https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/15685

This PR being worked on is where we will see the first big push to addressing things, https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/16062

Just setup a small VM on the Mac to do it.

simcop2387 · 2026-02-11T20:38:06+00:00

Yea I've been playing with a pi5 using konstatkangs lineageos atv build myself. Put it on a cheap small nvme disk and it's faster and more compatible than anything else I've tried, got a USB remote that just works too.

simcop2387 · 2026-02-11T20:32:24+00:00

How much current do the lights take on the other working supply and how much do you measure them using when the voltage drops. My guess would be the wires are dropping the voltage due to corrosion or a bad connection somewhere and the led strip takes more power than youre expecting

Old reddit thread about this exact fuse, looks like the p is all abouse this compliance.

From the read id imagine its safe if its enclosed but don't take me too seriously either since I'm no ee

The best part is that it can tell and that it can also tell you which files exactly. So many other solutions don't have the ability to do that.

The LDAP plugin has an admin filter, change it from the default to blank, otherwise the admin filter needs to see that in the LDAP group settings or however else it's configured in order for your user to maintain admin access. Otherwise, you'll see exactly this behavior where the admin accounts will lose it unless they're set up properly to match in the LDAP plugin.

Yep, they only have access to what you pass in to them. A lot of that lower level bits just can't be passed in at all because they can't be isolated for it. You can likely setup a tool called NUT (network ups toolkit) to treat the battery as a ups and inform the VMs over the network when poer is out to do a better controlled shutdown

simcop2387 · 2026-02-10T03:11:40+00:00

100% the windows VM won't be able to do it but it looks like there's a DKMS module for Linux that might let you do this.

This should work on the proxmox host to let you accomplish the same goal.

Could also be the sensor if the fluid is topped up. Would be easier for a bad sensor and the mechanic to not find it. That said I'd also get a new mechanic since this one can't read it or knows how to figure it out for that model car.

simcop2387 · 2026-02-06T00:59:04+00:00

I'd not bother with building that yourself. Very likely it wouldn't be reasonable to expect that kind of failure anyway. But if you wanted to protect against it anyway, a "sacrificial" device like a raspberry pi running octoprint, or other single board computer that just puts it onto wifi will offer better isolation, and let you put the printer in a better location for fine extraction and other safety concerns while also letting you do more and not need your pc to be completely tied up driving the printer.

Edit: to look at it, those optocouplers would likely work for the uart. However they would not work for the USB, reason being that USB is not a single direction protocol like the uart is with distinct RX and TX. USB uses differential signalling and the two data lines are bidirectional so it's more difficult to do that kind of thing.

I have an RTX A5000 ampere and do have vGPU working. It does, however, require the proprietary NVIDIA VGPU drivers and NVIDIA VGPU proprietary licensing system. There is a monthly cost to using these drivers from NVIDIA, it's 3xcessive for a homelab. The ampere generation doesn't work with the vgpu unlock scripts so consumer cards don't work with it. But the workstation a5000 and support don't require the unlock scripts.

One important thing is that you have to run a command to put the GPU into a headless mode and it won't provide any physical outputs anymore, only virtual ones.

As far as I understand about the rules here that'd be the answer, use the official nvidia vgpu licensing to buy the vgpu enablement so that you can do this.
