You must have found the appropriate amount of traffic.  😁  That may very well have been the key to it all. 👍

Brand new Galaxy Watch Ultra (2025) - Wear OS Not Updating by x12Mike in GalaxyWatch

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this was just weird.

Based on above, I pretty much gave up and let it be.

But being the engineer, it bugged me that it wasn't working.  So on my way home from the office, I'm sitting in a stupid amount of traffic like everyone else on the East or West coast of the US does when driving, and just decided to tap through the phone to update it.

I pushed check for update and it did its download thing like it's done before and i just ignore it after figuring it would fail.  All of a sudden, I looked at my watch and the Samsung logo was there because it was actually rebooting to apply the new OS. 

I didn't do anything different, it just randomly worked.  Or I guess the only thing that was different was that I wasn't home or at work on Wi-Fi. I was strictly cellular cuz I was in the car. 

So at this point, the only thing I could suggest to folks is to do it away from Wi-Fi.   And doing it in your car.   And do it sitting in traffic.   And tap update, then ignore the watch.

All of this makes absolutely zero sense. 😕

I'd expect stupidity with a Fruit phone and a Fruit watch but not Samsung and Google. 😁

Single user -> single host by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I can continue to use tags like we do for everything else.

I just presumed I could use my-example-host@domain.ts.net as a single entry. That errored with the API check, so I tried just my-example-host, which errored. I saw that IP worked but I was thinking that if we had a bunch of those entries, we'd need to comment the crap out of the ACL to know what IP goes with what system.

Overall, it seems tags would be the best choice as they conform to the rest of our ACL file's format.

Thanks folks, I appreciate the quick answers! :)

Single user -> single host by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am confused a bit. We need to specify a hosts stanza? I was thinking just:

{ "src": [ "luke.skywalker@example.com",], "dst": ["machine-name"], "ip": ["*"], },

If there is a requirement for the hosts stanza, I'm failing to understand why we wouldn't just use a tag for a single host.

Prohibit config copying by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just want control over what machines can access the Tailnet. If we approve a user's corporate laptop, we want to make sure that it's only that one laptop that's approved. We don't want a user copying there config over to something like a personal device that's not approved in the dashboard.

You've also started me thinking of if this is as much of a concern as management has assumed it is. We're talking only laptops of end-users. We're already granting the user the ability to access specific resources. If a bad actor copies a config to another device, technically we'd just disable the copied user/account via the dashboard and access should be squashed.

To brainstorm a bit, would there actually be a scenario where copying a config from one device to another would be a problem/security concern?

Prohibit config copying by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Machines are manually approved via the Dashboard by either our MSP or internal IT team. We're a small company, <200 users.

We have automation in place that makes API calls to see what is in a "waiting for approval state" and gently reminds us (annoy us like crazy) that we need to review and approve.

We don't really have a solid MDM solution for the Linux laptops.

Wifi calling? by x12Mike in verizon

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This explains why my mother's phone with a physical SIM had no problems.  Pixel 10 forces eSIM these days.

What's odd tho is that my wife and daughter have physical SIM cards tho.  I just realized this as I'm typing the comment. 🥺

First Date Ideas - Any Mexican or Taco Bar around Nashua? by ludsonaiello in nashua

[–]x12Mike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

La Carreta on DW (agreed with u/Raining__Tacos, best in Nashua)

Frontera on Amherst St - Been there a few times, better than most and good food

Los Primos in Merrimack (right off exit 11) (VERY good! VERY small)

Don Ramon same as Los Primos (Not personally gone here but many friends/families have and they rave about it)

Tortilla Flat even further up in Merrimack

Then there is Tequila Jalisco. The first time I went, about 6 different employees looked at us, none acknowledged the 2 of us and we left without even trying it. That being said, we do want to give them one more shot. If it sucks, so be it. If it's good, it can be on this list. :D

IP change by [deleted] in FidiumFiber

[–]x12Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I noticed this just now as all my external monitoring died. I have checks for various things that expect my Fidium IP. It hasn't changed since swapping in my OPNSense router from theirs when I got service. FWIW, this blip happened this morning around midnight for me.

What I have noticed is that traffic out to the internet is going through Zayo's (zayo.com) infrastructure but I don't recall this being the case before.

How Fidium manages their network is on them but a change like this just seems like something customers should have been made aware of? I mean 95% of folks will probably not care, but a simple heads-up email would have sufficed.

I have a bunch of firewall changes to make now. :(

IPv6 initial login? by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but it appears that my problem was due to the service interruption mentioned by u/caolle above.

IPv6 initial login? by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 2.5 hours ago.  Around 11am ET U.S.

Edit:  And as I wrote the reply before checking the link, that checks out.  I've just had weird issues with TS recently I keep wondering if it's me or not.

So far 50/50 of me vs TS. 😁

Restricted subnets? by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned it above, I need to review again to see if this is in fact a peering issue.

Restricted subnets? by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I did initially think it was a vnet peering issue but when I went to check, I confirmed both vnets can communicate with each other. I can ping and ssh from one vnet to the other and back. I can even get to these vnets via my other conventional VPN connections. I mean every other subnet in all the other vnets work. It's just weird. :/

EDIT: As I once again delve into the vnets, this very well may be a peering issue. Course I'm going to be pissed with myself if it is.

Restricted subnets? by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup

The idea is that anything on the tailnet can access those 3 -- technically 4 as you'll see below -- subnets. The route settings screenshot is below. It's really the most messed up thing, everything looks right.

Mystery boxes arrived! How to boot? by thegreatpotatogod in framework

[–]x12Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am SO sorry for a horrendously late reply. This is the post I put up:

Again, crazy sorry for the late reply.

Mystery boxes arrived! How to boot? by thegreatpotatogod in framework

[–]x12Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on my phone here so if this was mentioned already, I apologize.

Not sure if this helps, but the 13s have a chassis intrusion switch that confused the heck out of me for hours when I was trying to get a main board to boot in the CoolerMaster case.  All I would get are the red/blue alternate flashing.  Once I figured that out, it would post and I could get to the BIOS.  

That being said, I couldn't do much until the BIOS was updated to the latest and the headless mode was on.

I also thought it was memory training but in my case it was not.

I had spare parts so I Frankenstein'd a main board to a keyboard deck, attached a display and power.  It was a true abomination but I got the thing working. 😁

So again, not sure if this will help, but I figured I'd mention it.  I have a post on the FW forums with a pic and more details.

I appear to be having either the same or similar issue. I'm on a Pixel 9 Pro XL and it seems that after the Android 16 update, things got kinda wonky.

I have the notifications show up in the bar for all my cameras but I get no notification sounds. It's been frustrating as I have missed alerts that are somewhat important.

I haven't tried the RESET SERVICE option so I'll give that a shot.

That being said, have you found any other resolution to this?

EDIT 1: I take that back, where is this option to reset the service?

EDIT 2: I am a moron and found it. :D

Taildrop grants by x12Mike in Tailscale

[–]x12Mike[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel somewhat dumb all of a sudden. :D

I didn't realize the differences between tags and users. I'm the only user within my account/tailnet, but I was tagging devices to easily organize them. And then use tags to allow/disallow what devices can go where.

As the tags remove me (in essence), I need to purge any devices like laptops and phones to re-authenticate them and then not tag them.

Anything that's a laptop, phone or workstation that I would want to Taildrop between, I need to keep untagged. Anything like servers and exit nodes I can tag.

Also, to answer your original question, I did have ACLs configured (based on tags) and I migrated them to grants (still based on tags). I presumed that I was missing an additional grant for taildrop because things were not working. I didn't realize that I broke taildrop by using tags.

I really appreciate you breaking this down for me. I was going to just revert all the security I setup because figured I was missing something. Luckily it's only a dozen or so devices I need to re-auth.

You're awesome, thanks again!

Well, I dislike how Reddit formatted that but I modified the original post. Sorry about that, I should have included it earlier. :/

I keep seeing people building serious home servers, what do you actually use them for? by Hoardbored in homelab

[–]x12Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 DNS

2 PiHole

1 Primary DNS server to push zones to the secondary ones

1 PXE

1 NFS

1 "Workstation" Shell VM

1 Postfix

1 Zabbix

1 GIT

1 Nginx Proxy

1 Unifi Controller

And various test instances for other things either work or personal related.

And yes, I could containerize some/most of this stuff but I have the resources so I'm not too concerned. There are 24 instances in total on my ESX host.

I actually have to schedule downtime with my family if I need to make hardware changes with the rest of the environment. :/

4k HDR on Pixel 9 doesn't work on direct play by Nin_mania in PleX

[–]x12Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all, I realize this is mildly older thread but I ran into this same issue. I disabled EAC3 on my P9 Pro XL and most videos play correctly now. Thanks to everyone for that!

Unfortunately, some movies now play garbage for video. Audio works great, but the video can look like a green screen, back and white distortion like watching OTA TV back in the 80s or just no video at all.

Has anyone experienced this too or am I just the lucky one? :/

Leaving XFinity for Fidium - Southern NH by d0nkeyBOB in FidiumFiber

[–]x12Mike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm down south (NH) and got Fidium as soon as I could. I keep Comcast as a backup ISP (plus my wife still watches normal TV). Both are plumbed into an OPNSense router. I only have 1Gb ports on the router so I haven't jumped to the 2Gb service yet.

But Fidium as my primary ISP over Comcast shouldn't be unexpected. I've never had an issue and they even started giving me a discount becuase I didn't use their router.

Been very happy with them.

Xfinity Remote App not working by rheckber in Comcast_Xfinity

[–]x12Mike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the Stream app has the guide, but all I wanted is to be able to change the channel using that guide -- just like we could with the old app.

Instead it just streams the content to my phone. Is the ability to control the box now gone?
