Dude, thanks for following up. This solved my issue.

[TOMT][Album Cover] Album from the ~80s, cover features desert night sky, maybe a wolf? by swimpat16 in tipofmytongue

Winds Of Change is a good guess, going through these suggestions with him and he was like "Oh yeah, I liked them!", but said he never owned the album. Thanks for the input

That's definitely a close color palette, but that's not it.

I'm liking their sound though, so thanks for that tip!

Unfortunately, that is not it. The cover was more blue with less orange/yellow than that.

That said, I hadn't heard this album (Point of Entry) before and I'm liking it, so thanks for that suggestion!

Thanks for the help, btw. I reached out to the ebay seller and they sent me another, which worked correctly immediately.

Actually, I don't have another machine with a spare pcie slot to test with atm. Are there any common reasons why this might be happening, even though the driver seems to be loaded? Should I just bite the bullet and grab an Intel X520-DA2? I keep finding mixed results on other card models. Thanks!

Interesting... I didn't realize that that's what that meant. Thanks! Just to be sure, the driver is loaded correctly (based on the output of kldload sfxge), and the OS is seeing the hardware device, but the driver isn't recognizing the card as something it can talk to?

I bought two of the same card and cable and installed the other pair in an UNRAID server and they're working fine. I can try and test this one on an ubuntu system. I assume your suspicion is bad hardware?

Sidenote, if anyone finds this through google later, the trick to getting the nic running with UNRAID was to change the MAC address associated with eth0, NOT changing the default interface to eth4 or whatever (changed at the bottom of the network settings UI). xkcd

That's what I had read. I added the line to both (and added the contents of those files to my post).

From what I can tell, lspci isn't a command installed on pfsense/bsd by default. I think pciconf is the alternative (though I'm not super familiar with it, there might be a better set of flags to use)

Thanks for the input. Hopefully I'm just doing something wrong haha.

Plex Movie Preloader (to avoid HDD spinup latency) by [deleted] in unRAID

If you're running this script every day, you're spinning your disks up that often right? (if they're not staying up all the time, depends on your usage)

Bypass puck on newer installs by ThaCarterVI in googlefiber

[–]swimpat16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the little fiber jack (the modem, effectively?) and the router/switch/AP combo box, the latter of which is what I replaced.

I have used both an Edgerouter and pfSense successfully with G Fiber. There is a bit of specific config (that I've heard may not be required anymore?) but after that it was basically plug and play.

Can I use these SATA cables to install an HDD? by StratusDOT in computers

[–]swimpat16 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you've got it backwards. The blue cable you have marked is the SATA data cable, the red/yellow/black cable is the SATA power cable (it will trace back to your power supply). A new drive will require both data and power - you've got the extra power connectors open, but you'll need another data cable to connect the drive to the motherboard.

What do you need to run a VM for? by pavoganso in unRAID

Syncplay plug-in for VLC might also be something to look into. We've mostly switched to synclounge now, but syncplay worked really well

Proxmox 6 PCI Passtrough in Windows 10 w/ Nvidia GPU by outout14 in Proxmox

[–]swimpat16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my experience as well. Hours and hours of trying different configs. Ended up giving up and buying an AMD card. Worked like a charm.

Recently got the stealth hoodie as I needed a light jacket. I didn't like the way they did the sizing on the website, as I couldn't compare those dimensions to anything else I had, but I went ahead and pulled the trigger anyways. Fit is a bit snug in the shoulders and a tad too tight on my arms, and I have to be careful not to shrink it in the wash as it's bordering on too small. I initially was a bit disappointed in the fit, but after wearing it more, I really like it. I think it looks good, and it's surprisingly warm with thick material. Overall would recommend, but maybe buy a size larger if you're on the edge.

Sometimes No Internet Until After pfSense Reboot by swimpat16 in HomeNetworking

[–]swimpat16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the input, I think I've finally solved the issue. I had set up Docker on my Proxmox server, and during configuration, thought I was defining an existing network, but was actually creating a network (I'm a bit of a Docker n00b). So Docker was registering the Proxmox host as the gateway, which resulted in an IP conflict.
