  • Rolling my First Self-Made Router

    Jump

  • When I got 10 Gbit internet at home I didn't like the prices of any of the 10G routers for sale so I built my own out of a $80 used ThinkCentre Tiny, $7 PCIe riser, and $20 dual-10G Intel NIC. My APs are the Ubiquiti UniFi APs I was already using (The router I switched from was a Ubiquiti USG3)

    Initially I tried opnSense (and pfSense) but no matter what I did I couldn't get 10G throughput, so I switched to OpenWRT which has been working great. I feel like the Linux kernel will have better support than FreeBSD since it has a bigger user base.

    For a 1G/2.5G network you can probably get a way with even cheaper hardware.

  • Nope

  • ISPs as publically owned Utilities

    Jump

  • Where I lived before in Sweden, it was the municipal power company that built a fiber network, since they already had all the right-of-way and know-how/staff for pulling cables. The power company itself only maintained the physical network, and opened it up to third party ISPs to run the actual internet service, allowing to could start an ISP using the network and any customer could choose any ISP. ISPs would compete on price, support and value-adds like IPTV and telephony.

  • Apple CLI command to mount an SMB share that isn't abysmally slow

    Jump

  • My SMB slowness has always been when copying a lot of files, the Finder does something really slow and weird when trying to figure out if the destination can be copied to (dunno if it's checking for existing files with the same name or what). Once the actual transfer is going it's fast, but then it hits the next file and pauses for several seconds while it's doing something

    That was the first time it really hit home to me how much it hurts to lose real talent from this world.

  • How should I mount my storage HDDs in Proxmox?

    Jump

  • No deduplication. Before replying I tried doing some research to find where the 1 TB/1 GB rule came from originally but couldn't find any original source, and everything I found said that was without deduplication, for dedup its supposed to be more like 5 GB/TB (no idea how true that is either)

    Yeah, TB, oops, edited thanks!

  • How should I mount my storage HDDs in Proxmox?

    Jump

  • That whole "1 GB per TB of capacity" is some generic rule someone made up once that doesn't really have anything backing it up. It depends completely on your use case. If it's mostly media storage that is rarely accessed, I'm sure that 4 GB is plenty.

    I run a beefy TrueNAS server for a friends video production company with a 170 TB ZFS array, right now ARC is using 40 GB of RAM with 34 GB free that it's not even bothering to touch, I'm sure most of the ARC space is just wasted as well. That's just one example of how 1 TB = 1 GB makes no sense.

  • How can I develop software for a PowerPC?

    Jump

  • I’ve been dabbling in C development for classic Mac OS when I’ve had some spare time over the past year. I’ve been doing it directly on my old Macs, a PowerMac G4 when I’m at my desk or a PowerBook G3 Lombard when I’m in the living room.

    I’ve been using CodeWarrior as a compiler/IDE. For documentation I have a copy of Inside Macintosh in HTML format from an old Apple Developer CD, a copy of “A Hobbyist's Guide to Programming the Mac OS in C” in PDF format, and a program called “Toolbox Assistant” for quick reference. Occasionally using MacsBug as a debugger when I’m outside of the IDE. All of this can be found on Macintosh Garden or just Google.

    edit: My focus has been more on utility-type applications but if you're more into games or something there are a bunch of books here with different focuses https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/

  • 13 running on my little Synology.

    Actually more than I expected, I would have guesses closer to 8

  • Wifi 15 gigabytes per second — Researchers demo invention

    Jump

  • Laptops have all but taken over from desktops for everything but AAA gaming. New houses are still built with zero Ethernet because "the internet is Wi-Fi right?"

    People are using their laptops to edit video off of a NAS, MacBooks can run 100 GB LLMs. Heck even non-AAA games are many gigabytes.

  • Drag and Drop is an absolute mess

    Jump

  • I think Apple has the best sandbox UX. By default sandboxed apps have access to zero of your files. It can't even see they exist. It's only granted access to any file/directory the user manually selects through a system UI - opening through file type associations, the open/save dialogs, or drag & drop. This means that access is given seamlessly, there aren't any prompts, and the user doesn't even realize there's a sandbox. If the program wants to manage a project, just have the user select the folder and all the sub-contents are also granted.

  • I mean I'm a big fan of VR but it's clearly been a money pit for meta, their massive investment in it is never going to pay back, they were betting on selling "metaverse" real estate rather than making money on the hardware
