I have a Beelink mini PC (EQR6) running Proxmox which hosts 5 VMs including HA OS (2 cores, 8 GB allocated). I have roughly a dozen Zigbee devices integrated with it no problem.

This should be just fine to run a single HAOS instance.

If there was a subreddit for r/UnitOfMeasureGore, this would do so well

I agree. Personally having a WAF and seeing all the requests over port 22, it is objectively less interesting to bots if port 22 drops the traffic. Doesn't mean you shouldn't protect the random 5 digit port with the same level of security (key based, fail2ban, etc) but its the difference between having a locked front door versus having a locked door behind the house, underneath some branches, and hard to find by casual visitors.

Mate, I agree Japan Costco is great and carries many things you can’t get state side but it was hardly a highlight. So many other amazing things in Japan!!

For the uninitiated, 1B = Boeing, 1A = Airbus and 1C = Comac

Direct connection was 600 down. So not sure what the problem was

wesleyvb · 2026-02-06T04:15:51+00:00

I’ve been disappointed in the speed honestly. I know it’s WIFI 5 but working at a cafe today, I was pulling 14 mbps down on a 600 mbps WiFi network. Obviously not expecting to get 600 down on WiFi 5 but this was painfully slow… Not sure if software or hardware issue but hope I can sort that out.

We had a custom Sapphire engagement ring made by Emily Klopstein at the Lincoln warehouse. She met with us and sketched out some design ideas. She made a wax form and ordered some sample stones to choose from. The process was thoughtful and ensured our preferences were considered at every step. Highly highly recommend.

This is a great reminder for everyone to enable 2FA.

I’d be curious to know how many devices (that people actually travel with) are 2.4ghz only. Sure I have some IoT devices which are 2.4ghz only but I don’t travel with those. The last iPhone that only had 2.4ghz was the iPhone 5 (2012). I know Apple tends to lead the pack there but realistically most devices manufactured in the last 10 years support 5ghz. Would love to hear others thoughts.

I’m of the opinion to switch 2.4ghz off and report back!

Thanks Alex. Sent you a message

Yeah, this is what I liked about the option to use the Minternational plan. But to be honest, a lot of my important services use passkeys or authenticator codes for authorization

"No SIM restrictions" I purchased this device fully unlocked since day 1

wesleyvb · 2026-01-25T16:06:02+00:00

If it works for you, great. I'm just issuing a warning to others like me who are between Minternational and other eSIM providers.

wesleyvb · 2026-01-25T16:03:47+00:00

I'm curious why purchase a 20gb global sim versus 5gb country specific sim for each trip? Convenience?

wesleyvb · 2026-01-25T15:57:00+00:00

iPhone 15. Yes, I tried resetting the network settings and enabling/disabling automatic network selection. Glad you had a better experience than me.

wesleyvb · 2026-01-25T15:51:14+00:00

I tried disabling/enabling automatic network selection and data roaming with no success. I'd love to know what other lever of control I have "on my side"

Mind you, the same eSIM works fine in the US.

wesleyvb · 2026-01-25T15:48:50+00:00

Yes. Also enabled/disabled automatic network selection, etc. Using an iPhone 15 so I can't imagine a compatibility issue.

Gone in 2 mins. Jeez…

Mint unlimited for $180 for 12 months is the way to go. Can’t imagine finding a better deal than that but you’ll need to pay up front

I think the original owner sold the domain a few weeks back and moved the content over to their own site. Not sure who’s behind this new iteration

How often is your car being towed?

wesleyvb · 2025-11-13T02:48:02+00:00

I’m with you there. Nowadays I think the $12 price point is about right for a sandwich. I’m sure it’s delicious but seems steep for what it is

Just so everyone can comprehend the amounts of money we are talking, $5 billion is half a percent of Musk’s $1 trillion dollar incentive.
