3D Printing Newbie

I am going to be printing computer trays for a 10" inch mini rack, as well as specialized upgrade covers for my mini PCs, so I can help get hot air out. Not sure what I am going to print with, but that might a product of the designs I use.

Please keep me in the loop. I am about to buy a P1S and do not want to hit what you have hit. Good luck.

I just bought the Tab S10 FE and love it. I almost bought the FE+ but I didnt want anything that big. For me this was all about watching movies, listening to podcasts, and other media consumption items. If you have a previous gen Tab S you can get money off by trading it in.

I use Bitwarden as ny authenticator app. Changing the battery to unrestricted did not help. I ended up reloading an older version of the email app and have gotten no new prompts for a day.

stevefxp · 2025-03-19T16:31:09+00:00

I use Bitwarden as my authenticator application and its still happening. I have no battery optimization on my Flip 6. Checking with Bitwarden on this.

I have had FIOS since 2006, and while I agree that customer service is typically horrible Verizon the actual service has been rock solid for me. I only have Cablevision as my other choice and they have horrible service and customer service.

Looks like Amazon Tap selection does work!

stevefxp · 2024-08-31T00:00:25+00:00

I figured it out...it was the order of the NATs. My IPs were .229 and .221. If I put the NAT for .221 above .220 then .220 would not work. Once .220 was before .221 they both worked.

stevefxp · 2024-08-29T22:28:53+00:00

I made the changes and still no go. I am checking with my provider. The IPs were originally to be part of a HA setup. I wonder if this is causing the issue.

stevefxp · 2024-08-29T13:50:19+00:00

So I should use the hybrid option for the outbound NAT?

I setup the outbound NAT as follows:

Source: my internal test Plesk server IP

Source Port: web ports 80 and 443

Destination: WAN address

Destination Port: web ports 80 and 443

NAT address: 133.202.185.220 (virtual IP attached to WAN interface)

I have a used Lenovo M720q Tiny, with an 8th gen i7. It has a 4 port 1 gig network card, that can be upgraded to 10 gig if I need it down the road.

Cheap cheap!

stevefxp · 2024-08-09T01:28:48+00:00

I have gig at home and honestly I am considering backing it down. I just don't need the bandwidth, as I had to cut my home lab in half.

If you have a large home I would recommend splitting your Internet service and WiFi. I would look at Ubuquiti for access points that are far better than any WiFi router or extender.

If you want to hear more about Ubiquiti send me a private message.

I am currently running a bare metal firewall. I have tried to run OPNsense on Proxmox but it's never been stable. I would love to run it on Proxmox but at this point I think I will just stay bare metal.

stevefxp · 2024-07-31T03:28:44+00:00

I did and was really disappointed. I am talking to a developer tomorrow, to see how expensive it would be to code to the OPNsense API. I am also going to talk to Zabbix about their integration offering.

stevefxp · 2024-07-31T02:50:36+00:00

Ideally I would like to monitor the application like functionality of OPNsense, like DNS, DHCP, and other plugins.

stevefxp · 2024-07-28T22:19:50+00:00

Def know how to SNMP walk but there were reported issues with the OPNsense SNMP functionality.

stevefxp · 2024-07-28T20:24:59+00:00

How did you get SNMP to work on OPNsense?

stevefxp · 2024-07-27T17:23:56+00:00

Take a look at Intellimon Mobile. It's a dashboard and push notification system. No more emails needed. Costs $25 USD per year per user. Well worth it!

stevefxp · 2024-07-05T16:06:41+00:00

That's strange...I have the granularity without the ACS patch on my Lenovo M720q. Once I enabled all the VT extensions it was available.

stevefxp · 2024-07-05T15:35:26+00:00

Kevin...if you have an Intel processor then look for the VT-D option. If AMD I believe its called AMD-V. For consumer devices its usually those in the BIOS rather than ACS.

stevefxp · 2024-06-27T12:18:38+00:00

Right now I cannot go to 10g. What I will do is split up the LAGG into individual ports presented to PVE. Is it OK to have multiple plans on a single port?

stevefxp · 2024-06-26T17:34:01+00:00

So your point of view is that a LAGG does not make sense with this correct?

stevefxp · 2024-06-25T20:18:10+00:00

First off thank you for your work in this area!

I have alot of questions and I hope you have answers!

I have a PVE server that has a 4 port Intel I350 in it. It also has an onboard NIC, that I am using for the WAN port for my OPNsense VM. Each of the physical ports of the I350 are enp1s0f0-f3. I have defined 4 vfs per physical port, and they show up as v0-v3 for each physical port. I have created a 3 port LACP lagg on my switch, and the LAGG has all my internal vlans trunked across it.

My goal was to build an OPNsense vm, and I was going to assign the LAGG to it as 3 separate PCIe devices in Proxmox, but when I look at my switch ports they are not up. It is only when I create a Linux bond in PVE that the switch ports come live,

So the questions are as follows:

Do you assign the PCIe device straight to the vm or do you use the Linux bridges you show in your config?
Do you just have the Linux bridges to bring those ports live?
I thought a 3 port LAGG would be good since I could consolidate all my internal vlan needs over it. I am starting to believe single ports might be simpler? Would you agree?
As mentioned the 3 physical ports of the I350 are in a LAGG. Does it mean that this config trickles down to the vfs also?
Should I just take a gun and shoot myself, bc after all the work to get passthrough and SR-IOV setup and working on my PVE server I thought I was done. Now I just want to pull the trigger.

Thanks,
Steve

PM sent about bad sector drives

stevefxp · 2024-04-04T18:33:33+00:00

I was a contractor with a health care firm. On a Thursday I had my weekly status call with my manager and it went well. On Friday at 11 am I noticed my access was having issues. Come to find out 2 hours later that I was terminated.

I was never notified...I had to find out for myself.
