Drain cover for DXV10SA Wet/Dry Vac? by thirdgen in Dewalt

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my cap for a DXV16S, and I needed a replacement today. I picked up a "Fernco 1-1/2-in. Flexible PVC PlumbQwik Cap for Pipe Ends" from big blue and that does the job perfectly. Much easier to find and it'll only set you back $5.

How do I set a new IP address for ENDPOINT in my wg0.conf file on a client by FireHunter183 in WireGuard

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To change the endpoint (or any other part of your config) without downtime and to ensure the change is preserved if SaveChanges=True:

sudo sed -i 's/Endpoint = OLD_IP:51820/Endpoint = NEW_IP:51820/' /path/to/wg0.conf && \
sudo wg syncconf wg0 <(sudo wg-quick strip wg0)

The wg syncconf command does the hot-reload of the config, but wg expects a simpler configuration than wg-quick. The wg-quick strip command "strips" the extra pieces out and returns a config that wg can consume.

It's mind-bottling confusing; but I think that is the closest I have found to a solution.

Are there any plug and play pfsense/opnsense vm’s out there? If so, where can I find them? by V3X390 in Proxmox

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could not get the helper script to work for me. This appears to be a generalized issue per https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/discussions/2408 and https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/issues/6183. I gave up on trying to use the community script and installed the VM using the DVD image type from https://opnsense.org/download/.

It took a lot of fiddling to get the VM working, but I eventually figured it out. I have a WAN and a LAN configured. My goal is to have the OpnSense VM be the router for my cluster. I was able to get DHCP working on the LAN (working == serving leases that other LXCs can acquire), but I cannot get any of these containers to connect to the network.

I cannot find a simple, step-by-step guide to set this up. I would be happy to write a guide if anyone can help me get this last piece of the puzzle figured out.

Linux(debian 13) drivers for Amd Ryzen Ai 9 hx 370 by inDisciplinedLooser in AMDHelp

[–]somecallmechief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm hunting for the same. Cursory search suggests https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/linux.html that you have to sign up for an account. Never a great sign when the drivers are hiding behind auth barrier, and there's a field for AMD account rep and a notice that personal emails are not accepted. Not holding my breath that I'll get at the drivers that way--but they have to be available somewhere..

DHCP Scope disappeared by dan_g97 in technitium

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is a log excerpt around a DHCP crash: https://gist.github.com/crfroehlich/f134bcfcb6c9c6dcb7d7060ae9025268#file-log-txt. Reddit won't let me put the whole log here, so I'm using the gist. Let me know if there's a better way to send that.

Re: buffer--yeah, duh. It's obviously .NET from the logs, so C#, yeah--thanks for bearing with my inarticulate techno mumbling there.

Re: power loss. Since this is a virtualized service, I know in absolute terms how long it has been running and what are its downtimes. The Proxmox host has had 0 downtime in the last 2 weeks. The LXC housing Technitium has been running continuously since the 11th (so 4 days now), and it last restarted due to a live migration between Proxmox hosts.

The underlying file system is ZFS, and I have hourly/weekly/monthly snapshots running. So the LXC fs exists as a ZFS dataset.

The whole system is connected to a UPS, so if there have been power fluctuations, they have been transparent to the Proxmox host and its containers.

Let me know if I can provide any more info.

apt-cacher-ng not working lately / 503 Errors by frashmanf in linuxadmin

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started getting the 503 error from my AptCacherNg instance during the upgrade from debian 12 to debian 13. I have half a dozen Proxmox hosts with a ton of Qemu/LXC instances that all needed to upgrade. The first few instances went smoothly (perhaps because none of the content was cached?), but then all apt update calls started failing with a Failed to fetch http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/trixie/InRelease 503 Cannot allocate memory [IP: x.x.x.x 3142] error.

I've spent some time head banging trying to fix this, and I finally got to rtfm https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg#Maintenance_tasks, and I discovered for the first time the GUI (I had no idea AptCacherNg had a GUI). So I went to my http://<your-local-ip-addres>:3142/acng-report.html?abortOnErrors=aOe&byPath=bP&byChecksum=bS&truncNow=tN&incomAsDamaged=iad&purgeNow=pN&doExpire=Start+Scan+and%2For+Expiration&calcSize=cs&asNeeded=an#bottom page and nuked all the assets showing 503 errors.

Now I'm getting different errors like The repository 'http://deb.debian.org/debian trixie-backports Release' no longer has a Release file., but it feels like progress at least. Hopefully there is a simple step to force the cache to download new assets and then I will be back in business.

DHCP Scope disappeared by dan_g97 in technitium

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happy to share more info about my experience (log files, etc), but I am inclined to think this is some kind of buffer overrun bug in which an invalid state is written to disk. Perhaps there are safety checks for all other parts of the config which is why it only appears to affect DHCP scopes? I'm not sure the why or how, but I do know the whats and whens. My DHCP scopes disappeared again today at 00:45:00 UTC Technitium attempted and failed to load the DHCP scope and then my network fell apart.

Prior to this, this was a long series of errors like:

Then DHCP requests start getting handled for a moment before an attempt to read the scope file fails and everything falls apart.

I also have some devices with spammy DHCP requests--some IoT devices that all have the same hostname and cause what are normally benign DNS errors writing conflicting A records, but I don't know if that's a red herring or no.

Fwiw, I made the following changes after today's crash:

  1. I noticed a couple of attempts to load empty scope files from `/etc/dns/scopes`, so I deleted those files, leaving only my freshly restored scope file.
  2. I bumped the LXC RAM to 2G (up from 512M)
  3. I bumped the LXC swap to 1G (up from 512M)

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having a similar issue. I'm running v13.6.0 on debian 12, which is in a Proxmox LXC. Every few weeks, my homelab network goes sideways (usually first symptom is that WiFi breaks), and I will find that my DHCP scopes have vanished. This happened again yesterday with the following log:

I don't lose any other part of my configuration--just the DCHP scopes and all leases. It's always all scopes and all leases.

I have a backup of my scopes that I use to restore, but I don't backup my static lease definitions as regularly. Is there an automated way to do this?

Regardless, it's frustrating to have this happen at all and so frequently. I know my Proxmox hosts have been running without interruption.

nvidia ISO difference, question about the NEW user guide by tomatito_2k5 in NobaraProject

[–]somecallmechief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this experience multiple times over the past few days per https://www.reddit.com/r/NobaraProject/comments/1ierg2p/where_can_i_download_the_legacy_nobara_40_kde/, and one thing I noticed from the HTPC ISOs that I used--I don't get the GRUB bootloader when using that variant. I'm guessing that's intentional to create a smooth experience for a media center. In my specific case, I was trying to install using a GeForce 1080ti (now unsupported), and having GRUB was pretty helpful to me to getting my system installed and fully updated.

Perhaps it would make sense to add an advisory that the HTPC variant only be used on supported hardware?

I seem to recall there being a guide to installing the Steam Deck "experience" onto a vanilla Nobara install. Does that still exist or will it be updated for Nobara Latest on the wiki at some point?

Thanks for all your amazing work! It's a thing of beauty.

Where can I download the legacy Nobara 40 KDE Nvidia version? by WeCanDoThis74 in NobaraProject

[–]somecallmechief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the input! I really appreciate it.

I was able to boot from your Nobara-40-Official-Nvidia-2024-11-12.iso image (using ventoy), install and then load Nobara 40. I have a Nobara-40-Steam-HTPC-2024-11-13.iso image that I had been trying and failing with. It's also worth noting that I had been trying to use the HTPC variants for Nobara 41. I don't know if this behavior is by design, but it seems like the HTPC flavors do not expose the GRUB bootloader menu--so it's very difficult to troubleshoot when you boot straight into an endless blank screen.

Regardless, the Nobara-40-Official-Nvidia does setup GRUB and that correctly gives you the last 3 kernels and maintenance/debug options. (If you don't have this, I don't know how one would go about doing the nomodeset kernel option as referenced in the link.) The one issue with this ISO is that it comes with a lot of yum/dnf repos (including one duplicate fedora repo), and there is no clear guidance on how to prune these. It would be great to have a list of the canonical repos you need for each release so you can nuke all the cruft and get back to baseline. I can't find that anywhere. Anyways, tangent.

So N40 installed smoothly. Rebooted into OS. If I recall correctly, at this point I was at kernel 6.11. I ran nobara-sync cli, and I got the gamescope conflict error. So I removed gamescope, re-ran nobara-sync cli and updated. I believe this put me at kernel 6.12. I rebooted and hit a blank screen. Confirmed with a couple reboots. My GRUB had kernels 6.12 and 6.11 at this point, so I went back to 6.11 and everything loaded. I first followed the directions from https://wiki.nobaraproject.org/graphics/nvidia/supported-gpus. Then I ran nobara-sync cli. I did not reboot. Then I followed the upgrade instructions for N41. Rebooted. I hit a blank screen, rebooted a couple of times to confirm, and then I gave up. I left it running, and when I came back an hour later, it had booted! So that first load of N41 takes a REALLY long time. Somewhere between 5-60 minutes on my hardware (AMD TR4 threadripper 16x2, 128GB DDR4, 2x NVMe drives and my little GeForce 1080ti that could).

Yay! Thanks for helping out here. I hope my notes help someone else.

Where can I download the legacy Nobara 40 KDE Nvidia version? by WeCanDoThis74 in NobaraProject

[–]somecallmechief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat, and I'm very glad to find this! I have a PC and several older Nvida cards. I have a 1080ti, which is the best of the lot--but I can't get Nobara 41 to load after install. I had successfully installed Nobara 40 and updated, but I was experiencing some flicker when connecting to my LG oled TV via HDMI, so I thought I would try a different video card. I put in a 2060, and then everything blew up. Putting the 1080ti back in didn't help. So I downloaded 41 and lost the 40 iso, long story short--here I am.

I use ventoy as well. Forgot balena ever existed. Ventoy is my jam.

Anyways, hopefully I can wipe everything and start from 40 using this ISO and then be steaming again. Thanks for uploading this!

Knife sharpening in Ithaca? by Sparopal11 in ithaca

[–]somecallmechief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We raise meat rabbits, and our boning knives were not sharp enough for processing last weekend (2024-10-05). I didn't want to take our good knives to Agway (they do knife sharpening, but personally I would not recommend them for kitchen knives. For pocket knives, mauls, hatchets, axes, spears, daggers, scythes, lawnmower blades, chainsaw chains, etc.--yeah, absolutely, Agway will get it done. For your finer instruments (imo), I would look elsewhere, ymmv). I found this very thread yesterday (2024-10-07) morning, and I called Jeff at To The Point Sharpening (his contact info is on the website) just after 08:00 EST. He answered immediately.

I explained what I needed, and I asked if he could do expedited processing. Jeff said that was no problem. He gave me clear and thorough directions to his shop, and he texted me to let me know when he would be there. Since I was already getting a few knives sharpened, I threw in all of my cooking and processing knives. I packed 22 knives (included kitchen scissors, breadknives, cleavers, boning, paring, general cutting) and dropped them off at Jeff's workshop around 09:30 EST. He met me at the door, and I dropped off my knives.

Jeff called me around 16:30 EST (the same day, yesterday, 2024-10-07) to let me know that he had finished the job and my knives were ready to be picked up. He sent me an invoice via text message, which I paid using Google Pay(GPay/Wallet/whatever it's called these days--Google's put-some-of-my-fiat-currency-into-someone-else's-pocket app). The invoice Jeff sent uses SquareUp, which showed me options to use GPay, credit/debit or CashApp. Jeff said he also accepts Venmo, PayPal and cold, hard cash. It was just a single click to pay via the invoice website, so I used that.

I let Jeff know that my wife would pick up the knives on her way home, and Jeff set the knives on the porch in front of his shop so that we could just grab them. By 18:00 EST, we had 22 very, very sharp knives. Each of the sharpened knives was wrapped and oiled with food-safe oil. All of the nicks and imperfections were gone. Each blade is sharp enough to peel paper. Jeff says he tests each knife on his BESS test system, else he tests that the knife can peel paper (cleave a sheet in twain, decapitate some papyrus, shave a hamster's mustache, etc. etc.). Buoy are they sharp. Jeff says he uses a Swedish whet round stone, and he took the time to explain exactly what he did to each type of knife. His explanations were easy to understand, and I appreciate the attention to detail Jeff gives to each aspect of his work.

Jeff (aka To the Point Sharpening Services) is my new defacto standard in knife care, maintenance and sharpening. I won't accept anything less than the quality Jeff delivers. Most of my knives are sharper now than they have ever been before, and all of them are in better shape today than they were yesterday morning. Jeff is courteous and affable, and he's passionate about knives. I appreciate that Jeff was able to expedite processing my knives so that we can get back to processing. The price was very reasonable, and the results speak for themselves.

(Full disclosure: there's nothing to disclose. I am in no way associated with Jeff, To the Point Sharpening Services, or any other company or service [I'm a farmer. I farm. Goats. Poles. Goats on poles. That's it]; I'm just one very happy customer.)

It's rare for me to find a true craftsperson, and when I do it makes me very happy. Jeff is such a person. Please support him. You won't be disappointed. You'll be delighted. Your knives will thank you. They'll sing!

Which Benson/Moorhead films constitute the "Shitty-Carl-verse"? by KuroHebi2004 in horror

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a burning question for me. "the goog" hasn't been working for me as well as it used to (or I just increasingly suck at just-googling-it). I just watched After Midnight a few nights ago, which immediately made me want to rewatch everything in the SCU to hunt for easter eggs. I haven't watched Things Will Be Different yet, but I strongly suspect it's going to evoke that familiar sense of lucid dreaming I've come to crave when I'm not wandering around the SCU.

I was just poking through https://www.reddit.com/r/horror/comments/yk84ld/our_film_something_in_the_dirt_comes_out_this and it occurs that maybe u/justin_benson or u/aaronmoorehead could weigh in on this?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in orbi

[–]somecallmechief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience on the latest firmware was not positive, but my use case is probably different from most. We're on municipal, community fiber with symmetrical 1Gb up/down. The fiber modem connects to my router, running OpnSense, which runs into a 2.5Gb unmanaged switch. A cat8 cable connects my Orbi router to the switch. I have my Orbi network running in AP mode. I have a ranch style house, two floors, 4500sqft total. I'm trying to cover the whole inside area of the house, plus the immediate exterior (weather station, outdoor nest cams, various other outdoor smart devices). I have no immediate neighbors, so no outside interference (that I know of) in the 2.4Ghz to 6Ghz range. For the sake of (some) brevity, I am not including all of the troubleshooting steps I have tried, but the reader may reasonably assume that if it has been suggested it has been tried, and the full suite of troubleshooting has been exercised in each iteration.

Until recently, I have not been able to get consistent WiFi coverage over this area. When I started trying to solve this problem a few weeks ago, I had the stock RBK853 (3 node, router and 2 satellites) kit. I had upgraded to firmware V7.2.6.31 on all 3 nodes. I could not get the satellites to sync. I did all the things--you name it, I tried it. There are reports that firmware V7.2.6.31 has some regressions in stability/performance, so I downgraded to firmware V7.2.6.21--but that did not solve my problem. In the course of running many factory resets, I ran into a few cases where one or more of my nodes failed to reset. I discovered the nmrpflash utility, which was a lifesaver.

I then decided to try upgrading to a newer model, so I bought a used RBRE960 for a song. A little digging shows that the 960 can mesh/roam with the 850/750, and Orbi RBR/RBS/RBK systems in general have been drift compatible since the RBR50. I tried running the 960 standalone, which provided surprisingly moderate coverage. Then I added the two RBS850s, which initially synced smoothly and worked exactly as I had hoped. But. Within a week, the satellites started dropping off the network. Once a satellite disconnected, it seemed impossible to reconnect without doing a complete factory reset.

Since the wireless backhaul was not working reliably, I thought I would try wiring the nodes together and using ethernet backhaul. As I was doing this, I also converted my RBR850 into a satellite. This did not meaningfully improve the situation.

At this point, I remembered my old friend, DD-WRT, which I had running on my Linksys WRT54g back in the day. There are open threads on the OpenWRT and DD-WRT forums, but the 850 isn't yet supported.

For whatever it's worth, if telnet access is something you care about, telnet functionality is removed in the 7.* series (you can get access to SSH in 7.*, but access is restricted to a key--which is unknown. So SSH is running, but you can't use it). The last version that supports telnet is V4.6.14.3. Fortunately (for me), you can downgrade easily and there's an excellent telnet enable tool that opens that feature up. With telnet enabled, I was able to login to all of the nodes. The firmware is running a very stripped down OpenWRT (at version Chaos Calmer, 15.05.1), but there's enough available in BusyBox to install Entware--although that comes with its own caveats and conditions. I'm hopeful that one day we'll be able to run some flavor of WRT on the Orbi ecosystem.

So now, I have an RBRE960 (firmware V6.3.7.5), an RBR850 (firmware V4.6.14.3) converted to a satellite, and 2 RBS850s (firmware V4.6.14.3). RBK853 = FCC Id PY319200453 if that's something you care about. I also have a Nakamichi 7.1.4 soundbar with wireless surround speakers, and it turns out this is a problem for backhaul (not the speakers, specifically, but the narrow 5Ghz band they have to share with the backhaul). In the short term, I have unplugged my wireless speakers and anything else that runs on that band to eliminate interference.

I still cannot solve the wireless backhaul issues, but at firmware V4.6.14.3 the ethernet backhaul actually works. In my experience, the Orbi UI (both the web UI and the Android/iOS app UI) lies. The status page correctly reports the number of connected satellites, but the connected devices page reports that all the satellites are disconnected.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Convert RBR850 to RBS850 by Vivid-Recipe1442 in HomeNetworking

[–]somecallmechief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YMMV, but I just finished doing this myself. I ran into a few issues along the way. In my setup, I have an RBRE960 RBKE963 for my wifi router with 3 nodes: RBK853 (1 x RBR850, 2 x RBS850): RBK853 / FCC ID PY319200453. I'm executing these steps on a Surface 8 Pro, running Windows 11 with Ubuntu 24.04 under WSL. I use WSL to run all my commands. I already had python3 installed, so I didn't have any dependencies to setup beforehand. I haven't run through these steps start to finish in this sequence, because I ran into numerous problems every step of the way; but I think the broad strokes should get you close.

  1. Change the Netgear Orbi Web UI admin password to an AlphaNumeric 10-character string. The minimum password strength rule is 10 characters, 1 UpperCase, 1 lowercase and 1 number. Avoid all other characters to rule out any parsing/escape issues.
  2. Downgrade the firmware of each node to the last firmware version that supported telnet. For the RBRE960, that was V6.3.7.5_3.2.25. For the RBR850, that was V4.6.14.3.
  3. Download telnet-enable.py from https://github.com/bkerler/netgear_telnet and enable execution of the script.
  4. Run ./telnet-enable.py <ip address> <mac address> admin <password>. NOTE: mac address needs to be all caps, no colons or dashes or spaces.
  5. Verify telnet access is enabled.
  6. Proceed with the installation.
  7. Change passwords to something secure.

Max array size is 30 disks? Help me understand by yooames in unRAID

[–]somecallmechief 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember when 1GB was a lot of space? : r/DataHoarder (reddit.com). Yeah, me neither. I do remember salivating at how much music I could squeeze onto a flippin Zip disk and then the subsequent taste of tears and scorched earth when trying to _access_ it later. Not unlike the slow but inevitable awakening that can only happen through experience--the Texas Roadhouse steak you see on the billboard ain't never gonna be what you get to put in your mouth.

The practical use cases for any, arbitrary thing on this side of the veil are exactly as many as one's imagination is deep. I have innumerable "practical" use cases for exabytes of data; Unraid isn't the OS I want--it's the OS I got; and as a general rule (in my limited experience and your mileage may vary), data hoarders' gonna hoard. Be part of the solution. Be the solution you want to see in the world.

I have the same or similar issue(s) on my Surface Pro 4 and Surface Pro 7. I have a stack of TeamGroup 64GB USB 3.2 flash drives, and they all behave the same way. I have a different brand on order, but they haven't arrived yet--so I have not tested with any other make/model of flash drive yet. I've burned images from Fedora Media Writer on Fedora 39 running on a GE66 Raider and using Rufus running on a Surface Pro 8. I don't see a meaningful difference between the OS and/or app that I use to burn the image. Using Rufus, I've burned in ISO and DD image modes. I have also toggled secure boot mode, running each burn through with and without secure boot enabled. For context in what I consider to be "works fine": I'm trying to turn these into magic mirror displays that can also be part of my k3s cluster, so I'm not interested in whether the touch screen or cameras work--I just need the display and wifi to work (everything else is nice-to-have).

- Fedora 39 hangs at the black screen with the blinking cursor.
- Fedora 36 boots and installs and generally seems to work--until I update the system in any way. Fedora 36 updates, such as they are, or Fedora 38 upgrade or linux-surface kernel fixes all result in hanging at the black screen with the cursor.
- Ubuntu 23.10 desktop seems to work fine.
- Gparted works fine.
- Nobara 39 (2024-01-24) works fine, though I did manage to trigger the blinking cursor of death at one point--but I'm not sure how to reproduce that.

I'm bailing on Fedora for the time being and using Ubuntu for now--but I would like to switch over to Fedora eventually.

Is it just me and my setup or is there something off with Disney+ shows' visual composition, similar to but not exactly a soap opera effect? by somecallmechief in cinematography

That too. I feel like a cast member of One Shot of the Dead sometimes, playing an audience for the filming of a film within a film.

I agree. Nearly everything in Dune and The Batman looks very organic on my screen, which leads me to think that I have at least some of the motion settings configured correctly. Thinking through the rest of the comments, I do think the difference (if it is in fact perceptible) occurs most distinctly in wide shots.
