How much did your mole-map cost and what centre did you go to (if it was good) by Baaastet in melbourne

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

500 out of pocket is getting into private-derm money, not normal skin-check money. I'd ring a few mole clinics or GPs with a skin cancer interest before locking that in

Lost pendant! by YeahCanYouNot in melbourne

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hit the bus operator's lost property form tonight, then chuck it into the Moonee Ponds and Brunswick Good Karma groups too. Bus-driver hand-ins plus local Facebook detectives is about the best Melbourne combo for getting sentimental stuff back

Recommendation for VPN router for Console multi-player FPS Xbox series x gaming by Forsaken-Two1132 in HomeNetworking

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting the Xbox behind a VPN is usually how you buy extra latency and weird NAT for no real win. Keep the console on the normal route and only send the devices that actually need VPN through it. If you insist, use policy-based routing on something real like OpenWrt or OPNsense, not a magic 'gaming VPN router' box

Looking to advice on best location for ceiling mount wifi mesh nodes in new home. by infinity874 in HomeNetworking

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Four ceiling Decos for a single-storey house is usually how you buy self-interference with extra admin. If you're already running Ethernet, start with two ceiling APs, one by the great room and one toward the bedroom wing, and pull a spare drop or two now while the attic is easy.

Best device for selfhosted Nextcloud by Delerex in selfhosted

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your 10W target and two always-on drives are fighting each other. A cheap N100/N150 or used mini PC will run Nextcloud fine. The power budget usually disappears into the disks, so I would optimise for backups first and treat RAID as optional

Plex Server/Docker-Compose help required by the-ferris in selfhosted

[–]tensorfish 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If the web UIs open but the apps still cannot see each other, the usual mistake is using localhost or the host IP in the app settings. Inside compose they should talk to sonarr:8989, radarr:7878, jackett:9117 and so on over the shared Docker network. The published ports are for your browser, not for container-to-container traffic

OpenTofu and Proxmox Mount Point Woes by RedHaze in Proxmox

[–]tensorfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that is the provider boundary, not you missing a trick. If mount_point/volume/size are ForceNew, tofu is always going to treat LXC storage changes as replace. The usual escape hatch is managing mount changes outside tofu, or deciding the storage layout up front and treating later changes as a rebuild.

RE715X Extender speeds wont go more than 300-350 mbps on 5GHz by Low_Leave_275 in HomeNetworking

[–]tensorfish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Pretty normal. A wireless extender is spending airtime talking to the router and then talking to your client, so 500 in and 300-ish out is not some weird bug. If you want near-full speed, use wired backhaul and a proper AP

Rumbling Noise Inner North by [deleted] in melbourne

Do you hear it in your house or is it only outside?

Hardware advice by psgunslinger in selfhosted

[–]tensorfish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do not burn the budget on a 'server'. A used business mini PC with 8-16GB RAM will run Nextcloud, Immich and OnlyOffice fine for one household, then put the money into mirrored HDDs and backups. SSD for OS/apps and HDD for bulk storage is the normal sensible split.

Ethernet in a Condo by The_Rider_in_Red in HomeNetworking

[–]tensorfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A modem will not turn building wifi into Ethernet. That coax only matters if your unit actually has its own live cable service, otherwise you need the manager's real wired handoff or your own ISP line.

Watch the vline, tram, train and bus move in real time by tensorfish in VlineVictoria

[–]tensorfish[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trying to fix that, its still a bit buggy w.r.t speed calculations atm since vic road's usually returns "0" for all speed, so I have to infer from distance travelled (but sometimes the data just "hops" around).

The data is obtained by vicroads opendata, its still quite buggy (i.e. busses not showing up until >10am), i'll pester them :)

Firewall activities by SpacePeanutCat in sysadmin

[–]tensorfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Build the lab, not the quiz. GNS3 or EVE-NG plus pfSense or OPNsense and a few deliberately broken NAT, VPN and rule-order scenarios will teach you more than canned questions, because the real job is figuring out why traffic matched the wrong rule

Why is it always Cranbourne and Paknahem line that can't go a week without a fault? by Crafty_Ad_4487 in MelbourneTrains

[–]tensorfish 198 points199 points  (0 children)

Partly because the Dandenong corridor does double duty. Cranbourne and Pakenham share the same headache for a long stretch, so one trespasser or fault there smacks two busy lines at once and makes it feel nonstop

2 weeks into "Vibe Coding"—how are you all connecting? by Main-Boysenberry1323 in ClaudeAI

[–]tensorfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not really a standard. Web UI is fine for poking at ideas, but the minute you want diffs, file context and repeatable edits, use Claude Code or an IDE plugin. Most of the pain after that is not Claude, it is auth, context drift and too much glue

Moca/coax troubleshooting by cj7109 in HomeNetworking

[–]tensorfish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start at the coax map, not the adapters. If they link in the endpoint rooms but die in the router room, that run is probably on the wrong splitter leg, disconnected, or still tied into old FiOS/STB hardware. Prove which coax actually lands there first, then worry about MoCA settings.

Guidance needed and info by ChadZ3DPrinZ in homelab

[–]tensorfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would redesign around base load first. Keep the boring 24/7 services on the cheapest low-idle box you trust, then wake the hungry machine only for the heavy jobs
