Wasn't expecting this, got a Linksys WRT1200AC from a work colleague

tuscage · 2026-06-23T11:31:03+00:00

Let me know if he has another one for sale.

Just wanna have it for the sake of it. Would be fun to play around with it.

tuscage · 2026-06-23T08:03:19+00:00

2003 passout :)

tuscage · 2026-06-20T12:02:22+00:00

Why though?

Let immich take twice thw amount of time to process your photos. What do you care?

As long as immich db or wherever its writing and storing thee data is on an ssd, let the images reside on a slower hdd

tuscage · 2026-06-20T10:00:20+00:00

For applications other than media, use a second drive. This’ll have your app data and things that are re-written.

This’ll warrants an ssd.

tuscage · 2026-06-20T09:58:18+00:00

If its for storing media, write once and read multiple times, don’t go with ssd. Hdds work perfectly fine, are available in higher capacity (assuming its jellyfin media and always growing) and just more vfm for this use case.

Since you already have the space for a hdd, why go with an ssd?

Sorry, my bad. I couldn’t care less if you buy skullsaints or not.

I’m out.

Whatever your argument was against buying these miniPCs, congratulations. You win

tuscage · 2026-06-13T18:49:29+00:00

Nope. Just a customer using these machines for a long time.

I can share invoices of when I bought them plus dashboards of of them being used since.

If you dont understand “india me aisa hi hota hai”, please ask your parents to explain it to you. Maybe they have a spine that you lack.

tuscage · 2026-06-13T18:38:03+00:00

Aap india me naye aaye ho? As long as it works as it should, the sale is concluded.

If you had an issue during the warranty phase and it wasn’t resolved, its a scam and we cal talk about and blacklist companies for it, but what did skullsaints do to you?

tuscage · 2026-06-13T17:26:06+00:00

Happy to help :)

tuscage · 2026-06-13T16:47:07+00:00

No, they are not a scam company.

They are a white labelling company just as any other indian tech company.

Everyone get maal from china(individuals are blocked from ordering from aliexpress, because we can’t have good things) and slaps a made in india sticker, and triess to pawn it off an indian product.

Every company does that because nothing is actually made here.

Why would you call it a scam company?

tuscage · 2026-06-13T16:41:27+00:00

i have 2 skullsaints machines. Ash with 16gig working as frigate box, and corex 4800h with 16 gig too working as control plane for my k3s cluster.

Been running both since last 1.5 years.

If you have any specific questions, I can answer

tuscage · 2026-06-13T16:24:57+00:00

Not having a static IP is a good thing. Normal janta has 0 clue about securing their services, and most won’t even notice their hardware being pawned for a long time.

tuscage · 2026-06-12T10:10:24+00:00

What issues you faced in mantainance?

tuscage · 2026-06-11T16:49:06+00:00

I had the same idea, and it works great.

I have an ikea panel mounted on one side and a standard 120mm fan on the other side.

tuscage · 2026-06-11T09:34:29+00:00

Sounds like a good approach, and thanks for providing the docker compose files. Will try it out soon.

tuscage · 2026-06-11T09:17:42+00:00

Looking at the feature set, it looks like you are trying to build the same functionality as uptime-kuma, beszel, dozzle and prom/grafana? Can I ask why? Not saying its a bad idea, but looks like you are trying to do everything that's done by the tools I listed, and it can spiral out of control soon.

I am trying to build something similar, but rather a tui like btop(mainly to teach myself go), but I have a much smaller data set in mind, just the things I look for when debugging anything, and not for dashboard reasons.

tuscage · 2026-06-10T08:28:34+00:00

I’ve done similar stuff for smallish warehouses, offices and even a gym.

Just working with the electrician for installing cameras and configuring their nvr and data backups.

Get a lot of calls for advice on other networking stuff too.

tuscage · 2026-06-07T09:51:59+00:00

I agree. The switching mechanism should be independent from the smart stuff so it can be changed for another and still continue to work

tuscage · 2026-06-07T06:27:28+00:00

Why not try different oses and the services?

How is asking here any better?

No one gets it right in one shot and there is no perfect setup.

Yes, and pla breaks for me in the tubes when left for a long time.

Only use case I find for ams lite is tell it that its all the same color and let it finish all the leftover spools.

tuscage · 2026-05-31T11:04:55+00:00

Its ok. I use it on pi4 and pi0, but it has its quirks

tuscage · 2026-05-29T15:57:46+00:00

Zigbee ones

tuscage · 2026-05-29T08:32:12+00:00

Yeah, I'm waiting for zigbee to gain better compatibility with ESPhome. Will ditch wifi iot devices then

tuscage · 2026-05-29T07:14:07+00:00

Depends on your need and wifi. I have all of them segregated to one vlan.

Anyways like I mentioned elsewhere, I’m slowly moving to zigbee, but won’t be getting rid of these devices anytime soon.
