The phone is certainly waterproof, which is nice, but I've spent fifteen minutes with a hairdryer already defogging both cameras and the flash hole (and so far only the front camera did), so

 Thu Dec 05 12:27:02 +0000 2019

like i logically knew this phone is held by a warmable goop but i thought I'd have to get it hotter than uhhhh two blue waves on this marvel of 2003 tech, so the back panel squishing was kinda spoopy ngl

this two-routes-with-the-same-metric config was deemed impossible by [REDACTED], but here we are!

 Sat Dec 07 02:34:58 +0000 2019

its 7:13 am, ive been at this for roughly 10 hours, and im incredibly stupid, but following some nice lady's tutorial and [REDACTED]'s guidance im have achieved :b:ond

the day is the morrow, or, uhhhhh the next morrow (oops) but im proud to present (1) a file copy and a torrent of debian dvd (of course) and (2) file copies on two computers

granted, I'm still dropping 1.5 packets per second and I have zero idea why, but

 Sun Dec 08 02:58:43 +0000 2019

the DNS resolution for this post brought to you by (1) systemd-networkd, verbosity heavyweight, (2) bumped netdev budget, and (3) bigger receive buffers, for all your fast network, slow CPU needs, and so you're not dropping packets all over the fucking floor

 Sun Dec 08 04:16:28 +0000 2019

thinking about,, this release again

 Mon Dec 09 21:02:53 +0000 2019

the 1 packet drop per second and some more once a minute originate from the access points! and there's no way to configure them to not multicast with this shitty protocol!! tp-link continues to be a mistake!!!!

 Tue Dec 10 04:08:24 +0000 2019

below the fabled box lies a relic from before time, or, indeed, three of them

I didn't actually see any cards at all in the one I opened, much less a quadro, but the specsheet says it's got a 1G NIC, so that's nice

 Tue Dec 10 18:19:24 +0000 2019

the sheet also specifies different CPUs, some >2GHz, which the pfsense website is Valid for 1G so hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 Tue Dec 10 18:22:01 +0000 2019

or, as i call it, my brain

 Tue Dec 10 20:18:47 +0000 2019

also saw a stack of these, and, tbh,, this is 100% how im tryna be

didn't know it was even possible to gentrify this area, but here we are!

kinda a shame about the building tho, it was a nice socrealist piece

hmm i saw some Gamedev™ "serialisation" that amounted to mmap()+memcpy() of raw internal data to savefiles once
now, this being C++(ish) code the data was full of pointers – those were padded out in some atrocious way; sometimes. well, rarely.

 Thu Dec 12 14:20:39 +0000 2019

so I got two more (obviously), and the packaging, apart from general stamping problems, seems perfectly identical ?

 Thu Dec 12 15:51:38 +0000 2019

the mould on the stamp seems to be marked with a linear 029-560 on one of them, the other, like the first one, lays it out in two lines, bigger

the one with the linear stamp also lacks a dash (or is it a 1?) in the bottom-left corner, neither of them have the M mark of the first

 Thu Dec 12 15:57:45 +0000 2019

the stamping on the bottom of the clean-carrier chip is (a) kinda fucky and (b) a half-turn off from the others

all the numbers match, except the last one on the top of the chip, which makes me assume it's the serial: 089 for the clean, 093 for the dashed, and 011 for the first

 Thu Dec 12 16:05:35 +0000 2019

on my 4.19 linux with onboard graphics there's at least three (incl. the one to the kernel), plus there's one to grub, and another one if via UEFI

 Fri Dec 13 01:28:25 +0000 2019

but tbh this is preferable to some older kernels just not switching to full screen resolution unless specified on the command-line, or, worse still, windowing(?) in the top-left three quarters of the screen leaving the rest unused

the top comes off forward and up with a surprisingly soft-but-deep detent, with the hooks punched and folded directly from the cover
the front is only a hud with some light guides and moulded pins that line up with a back-plane (which is nice, because any cables would be gone :v)

 Wed Dec 18 20:31:36 +0000 2019

so i was imaging a 160G drive and despite the roughly 100M/s read the output was kinda uhh much slower sometimes which was worrying until i remembered i set compression=lz4, which, granted, used the entirety of the RAM, but brought that down to roughly 29G, for essentially free

 Wed Dec 18 20:35:47 +0000 2019

th- they're full of expanding fluid in a brittle shell
we always needled/pinned ours so they just leak slightly instead of blowing but it's slightly too late for taht now ig

 Fri Dec 20 02:47:53 +0000 2019

cute diagrams!

 Fri Dec 20 16:03:00 +0000 2019

and, indeed, the bays swing up Just Like That, with some nice, if worn, nylon(?) detents

the screws at the top (T15/flat combo) seem to be completely spare, which is nice

 Fri Dec 20 18:08:35 +0000 2019

the drives do come out (with some convincing, but mostly of me to pull further) by pulling on the tabs, and like honestly im kinda surprised this is tool-less to this degree

also the HDD is (correctly, according to the diagram) upside-down ?

 Sat Dec 21 03:31:48 +0000 2019

a friend just pointed out that im officially tranny goth furry dyke now and this honestly kinda slaps tho ngl

 Sat Dec 21 21:44:17 +0000 2019

???

 Sat Dec 21 23:01:50 +0000 2019

hmm maybe not

 Sun Dec 22 01:03:14 +0000 2019

the HDD is a 160G WD Caviar Blue labelled 30.07.11 and has OEM stickers; the specs match except that the PDF says it's supposed to ship with HP drives? so?

also neat what looks like (aluminium?) emergency blowy pressure uhh things?

 Sun Dec 22 17:05:01 +0000 2019

hm

 Sun Dec 22 22:39:24 +0000 2019

the drive passed SMART self-tests and imaged at a respectable speed, but it also says it's been on for 50325 hours? that's like 5 years and 3 months? which, combined with only 73(!) power cycles, points to essentially server use, I'd guess, since my desktop HDD has 19895h/1641c?

 Sun Dec 22 23:09:43 +0000 2019

yayayaya

 Mon Dec 23 00:05:12 +0000 2019

b;llkl;ewgerg;h i am lite raly ufkcng no more than 0.2mm away

 Mon Dec 23 00:08:14 +0000 2019

turns out the walls are too fucking thick on the 6mm pipe, no matter how much i torture it but the only 5mm was available in 5m lengths only and therefore exponsive i am a fucking fool and a moron (but the marks do be kinda very good though ngl)

 Mon Dec 23 00:13:31 +0000 2019

SATAe are labelled and routed through nylon hooks, power bundles are ziptied together, and I'm probably only increduous at this because i usually do consumer-grade ware that's always on fire and barely funxioning, never maintained because not to be maintained because fuck you

 Mon Dec 23 13:59:12 +0000 2019

flinging up the bays reveals the place for the second HDD (top side up this time), accompanied by another cute diagram!

 Thu Dec 26 15:04:09 +0000 2019

so i have some X server and an Jan 2012 pulseaudio build on my windows desktop and it.. works? (mostly) transparently? im fuckjing astounded?? it's cursed and the latency is very bad and scrolling the spotify windows saturates my 1G connection to the server but>?????????

 Thu Dec 26 23:09:57 +0000 2019

damn, only now realised that I could have also dyed my brows but just didn't, absolutely devastated

 Fri Dec 27 02:20:08 +0000 2019

actually i lied its only pulseaudio with the horrendous delay, quake is perfectly playable

 Fri Dec 27 02:57:51 +0000 2019

ZFS (on linux, if that makes a difference) easily vored 85/96GB under continuous /write/ load with compress=lz4 in one run i did, but still only 150% CPU (E5645 w/HT), so

 Fri Dec 27 04:48:36 +0000 2019

in that case I was imaging a mostly empty, it turned out, 160G drive (see attached tweet for graphs), but it's mainly a generic data hole with a side of transcode/some art that scales well and kills my desktop
https://twitter.com/nabijaczleweli/status/1207399078394580992

 Fri Dec 27 05:06:49 +0000 2019

they are, and I can /not/ stress this enough, baby

 Fri Dec 27 05:21:26 +0000 2019

i'm pretty sure i capped out on the reads on the drive being imaged here – WD1600AAJS with 50326 hours on it since manufacture date 30 Jul 2011 – just tested and got over 700/300 R/W @ 400% CPU with a simple unoptimised dd between RAM and the mount; plus, E6545s aren't that fresh

 Fri Dec 27 17:19:06 +0000 2019

symptoms: literally nothing, despite my best efforts
predixion: the power button/charge hole is fucked
current status: i finally found an HP service manual for this piece of trash after a couple months
problem: i still have a low-end HP laptop

 Sat Dec 28 15:43:35 +0000 2019

noticing this would've been pretty nice before i took half the laptop apart but oh well

 Sat Dec 28 16:11:56 +0000 2019

nothing a PH000 and SL15 drivers can't fix but this was not it :v

 Sat Dec 28 16:21:14 +0000 2019

well, wouldja look at that!

 Sat Dec 28 16:53:05 +0000 2019

if look at the (mislabeled! 7 and 8 are swapped) figure in the manual you'll see that 7 is the "power button board cable"
if you look closely at the first photo in the thread you'll see that this cable was left unconnected by some braindead service tech this was at before :):)

 Sat Dec 28 17:22:32 +0000 2019

first fucking sign of live from this piece of trash, and the only thing i changed was plug the goddamned power button board in because (and repaste it) because that's apparently too hard for someone who takes money for this

 Sat Dec 28 17:33:03 +0000 2019

this full-size, pressed and printed, CD that came with the switch is exactly 7456768 bytes, and contains one (1) PDF, which is a very good use of everyone's time and resources on D-Link's side
