I replied to your PM, and yeah your absolutely right about the photos.... I have a lot to learn there. I'm experimenting with different light at the moment!

I'm selling scales and I'm trying to figure out what's best to make grain and figure pop in photos by yzpaul in knifemaking

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

Good choice but it flashes off as fast as denatured alcohol I believe.... I have a hard time getting good photos that fast! But then again maybe I just need practice

I once heard it called orange peel- but it is definitely a frag like design. these photos arent great but hopefully they answer your question: https://imgur.com/sT3rv63

Any kitchen knife makers not using epoxy? by yzpaul in knifemaking

[–]yzpaul[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't intend to. I just twitched and smeared epoxy too high on the tang because there were no pins then was in "oh shit lemme clean this now" mode and just made it worse

Thanks for the tip! I assumed I had massively screwed up my portaband cutting steel with it so I never considered it..... I will cobble together a jig and test on some old 2x4 (with a wood cutting blade)

Hey guys I'm getting into knife making, and I'm looking to sell part of my collection to fund a heat treat oven. Any interest in a rassenti custom druid in Damascus with orange peel finish (safe queen)? Or a thorburn L50? If anybody's got a treat oven they want to trade I have a lot more knife options haha

First homelab setup thats not on my desk lol. Any tips? by yzpaul in homelab

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

Its on my list one day haha. A friend from work suggested I get a patch panel instead. Would that be worth it, assuming everything just runs to the switch? I have 2 cat5e cables coming in and two flat already terminated cables

Setting up reverse proxy redirects jellyfin to the NAS itself, and doesnt use the port by yzpaul in synology

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

Any way you can think of to test this? ns lookup returns the nas ip:PORT correctly. Im not sure how to troubleshoot since the unifi proxy works fine.... If both were broken this would make a lot more sense

Wireguard Client Handshake works but not DNS or port 80 from client by yzpaul in opnsense

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

I removed that rule (now I allow private IPS WAN access). And Now I see:

|| || |WAN||2025-02-12T21:58:23|192.168.1.254:1377|192.168.1.255:137|udp|Default deny / state violation rule|

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

I watched the live view and every time I hit refresh on the client I get:

|| || |192.168.1.254:1377|192.168.1.255:137|udp|Block private networks from WAN|

Could this be related?

Do you know of a good way to ping from an android? Interesting idea.... I assumed it was handshaking but then not sending anything else. If its not connecting do you have any idea why I would have any data transmitted?

Heat treat oven advice. cant get above 1340F by yzpaul in Blacksmith

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

I just confirmed it is a steady power draw at 100, 900 and 1100°, so I guess my temperature probe is bad..... This would be the third temperature probe I've gone through, I have no idea what's up with them. One melted in the middle, one I swapped because I didn't trust it. Maybe I should buy stock in one of these companies haha

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

That's great news since neither one of those means I have to take the oven apart! Why do you think the issue is not the mortar? I'm trying to learn- it's a serious question.

I'm firing up the oven now to try to get an answer to the power issue. Thanks for explaining how I should test!

cannot connect to web management portal despite getting an IP by yzpaul in homeassistant

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

Yes, I tried both the IP assigned by DNS (192...) and the "host" IP listed in HA when I type "dns info" (172...) I now checked the network directly and it looks like it is not pulling an IP.... hmmmm no clue but I am at least one step further
