Ferrites Versus Ethernet in the Ham Shack

    I think it may be. Its specifically just a run for IP camera so it may be negotiating at 100Mbps

    I used shielded and properly grounded cat6, and even then I was seeing spurs and noise all over from 2m down. Granted the cat6 run was basically parallel to my attic antenna just about 5 ft from it for nearly the entire length.

    I put one ferrite ring on both ends of the run with 5 turns through each and nearly entirely killed spurs I had been seeing all over the spectrum.

    Where did you get 16 years from? The drive says date of manufacture as 2012. 12 years is still a pretty good run for a laptop spinner though.

    If I remember correctly mnt is for static media that you expect to always be present and media is for removable media which may come and go.

    $140 upcharge on a lilygo t-deck to pre fit it into a 3d printed case and add a battery seems absurd to me.

    For 2.5" SSD I'd suggest a Samsung Evo or crucial mx500. These will top out at like 4TB afaik.

    For 3.5" spinner I'd suggest an enterprise class HDD. Specifically WD Gold or HGST. Look up the most recent backblaze drive failure report for some models known to last a while.

    XPipe 9 comes with VNC, RDP, and SSH X11 support, a better SSH integration, terminal improvements, and many bug fixes

    What are the chances of an official flatpak getting maintained so us lazy folk don't need to keep up with the GitHub repo/site for when updates drop?

    Edit: Also do you have any plans to add NX support?

    Who of you guys are on an "Unknown" OS?
  • GuyNoIRQ GuyNoIRQ 7mo ago 100%

    BSD, Haiku, Plan9, RiscOS, etc. Probably mostly BSD.

  • Unattended upgrades - daily sudo apt update?
  • GuyNoIRQ GuyNoIRQ 9mo ago 100%

    Maybe just allow apt update specifically via the sudoers conf so you can cron job it to run without being prompted for user input, or just run it in cron as root.

  • Curious why custom antenna mod fried(?) radio channel output after 1yr
  • GuyNoIRQ GuyNoIRQ 11mo ago 100%

    Possibly the antenna wasn't tuned correctly to the channel which you have the router configured to use so you had a higher swr than your radio frontend could handle eventually burning it out.

    Oh yeah, didn't even think about that. Isn't using userspace network pretty common these days anyway?

    Actually was looking into this some more, and came across this article.

    It doesn't have as much to do with where the network stack is running, but that they're leveraging hardware offloading. Their CPUs generally aren't powerfull enough to switch packets at gigabit speeds let alone on many interfaces at gigabit or multi-gig speeds. Its by leveraging ASICs and maybe even some using FPGAs for hardware offload that they can switch packets at line rate. I understand how they do it, I still just find it kind of weird and cool.

    I didn't list HDDs as someone else had mentioned that already. I was just listing a few devices that weren't mentioned in other comments yet.
