    I recently replaced my home water heater with an electric heat pump hybrid system.  Did you consider swapping out the water heaters (floor heat and potable) down in the server+ room downstairs with these?  The amount of cold air coming off these after a shower is impressive.

    @LinusTech  not sure how to ping Dan here, so please if you can please pass along.  Regarding his desire to see his internal organs, "if I had a transparent panel right here"  (Short Circuit Edifier  QD35 review)

    We've got cows covered, maybe talk to one of our Vets, get one installed for ya

    @LinusTech  regarding WAN shows and Miner backpack.  Would be great to hear the findings regarding double layered material in the BackPack chassis, or lack there of.

      @LinusTech  follow up.  Bummer regarding the unapproved supplier alteration.  How is this handled on the back end.  Will the supplier bear any share of the costing?  Or is this all on ltt as you approved the final sample.

    How do you find time to game?   I spend my day at the terminal.  When my day is done, my desire to sit longer at teh same terminal gaming, is minute to say the least (work from home neatwork engineer... I luckily can use my rig for fun and business - thank goodness for VDI for remote work) 

    For example, as I write this, Ive been on for 10 hours, just about to sign off and go cook dinner for the family.  Id wager your schedule is even more compacted.  How do you find the desire to get back to the screen?  Or am I misreading your day, do you spend so much time in front of camera that your time behind the screen is less?  

    Though I must say, Balders Gate has been a blast with my kids.  Im barely into the game so far but my girls love playing with  and helping decide which page this choose your own adventure gets turned to.

      It's tough, but I also spend more of my time looking into a lens than a screen.

      #update @LinusTech   It seems PalWorld is doing some heavy lifting here.  In person co-op with the kids, where we go, what we do, gaming together.  Been lots of fun

    You asked for a network person explanation of windows cross over cable direct connection...  Its the out of box config....

    https://study-ccna.com/apipa-automatic-private-ip-addressing/

     

    1:  You take a std patch or cross over cable between two windows PC.

    2:  AUTO-MDI AUTO-MDIX will hash out the xmit and recv pairs.  Link should come up.

    3:  Network stack starts trying DHCP (assuming you havent set static... this is out of box experience)....

    4:  DHCP finally fails.  Windows falls back to APIPA auto addressing 169.254.0.0/16. 

    5:  Desktop ARPs for its own address... If no reply, it takes its auto assigned APIPA address.

     

    NetBios Name will broadcast on the network segment so as long as you have that enabled on the PC you can easily resolve names... so \\yourpcname\share 

    Does windows 11 etc use MDNS or other discovery protocols... Prolly, but off the cuff, old NT4/Win2k now Network Engineer (for 20 years), is how I would lay this down.

     

    State.  Two PC on same ether broadcast domain and same /16 with unique IP addresses with name to IP to MAC resolution.

    Share from there however you wish. )SMB etc)

     

    If you really want auto-magic, just enable IPX/SPX and have all your endpoints on same ether domain 😉 LOL.  Just dont ask to go on the internet unless you want to revive an IP to IPX NAT router/proxy.

      Not the IPX/SPX routing... You'll rather do networking by smokesignals. 🙂 LOL

    @LinusTech All your home videos and you didnt spend any time on the electrical (in video anyways).  Ever think of getting a Span.io main panel.  The graph below is from my Tesla power wall, but you could do same with a Span.io panel (as well as many other things)

    Here we see whole house energy usage.  First bump, coffee maker.  Second bump, CounterStrike-2.  So I can derive my gaming time in kwh... lulz (mind you teh PC was on the whole time, so that bump is CPU adn GPU load from the game)

      OMG WireNuts.  I was thinking of that yesterday.  One of those... If you think our panels are lame... Two words... Wire Nuts.  Still amazes me that they are still used.  The Wago is way better and are what I use when I splice anything at home.

      Screw Terminals.  Those IMO are better than push in.  Comes down to contact surface area where conductors meet.  As long as you torque well you should be A-OK.  Push through... In my experience where the blade engages teh conductor tends to foul, leading to high resistive joint, and heat, and eventually melt down.  Sometimes catastrophically, but usually just enough to smell funny.  A dangerous situation, and one in my experience is avoided using the terminals at the cost of 30 seconds to bend a loop in the wire and screw it down.  Personally at receptacles I like to make a pig tail using a 3 hole wago.  1 leg power in, 1 leg power out (next receptacle) 1 leg to the receptacle in that box.  That way you are not relying on the receptacle for continuity on the circuit, makes replacement a breeze later too.

      Wire nuts are like 4090 12V connectors.  On paper a sound solution, in practice allows for installer error too easily to allow for dangerous situations.

      Screw terminals suffer a similar issue. Prone to installation error as well as the connection loosening over time.

      This a screw terminal connection has gone wrong:

      Beside Wago 221 there is Wago 2273: Faster and smaller (only solid core!). 

      What isn't great that Wago requires 12mm exposed copper and all receptacles ask for 15mm. Either you carrier two tools or constantly switch the length settings

    Re: note 9 5ghz works in office not home.  Check your wpa settings between the two.  I'd be willing to bet you need some sort of legacy client support enabled like mixed wpa2/3 which is configured in office and as homem is newest install I wouldn't be surprised if it's default wpa3 only.

      @LinusTech another thing to check is 5ghz channel width.  You may want to constrain that a bit.  Helps with janky clients who think th y can rockwide channels but can't.

    3. LinusTech

      I don't think it's WPA3 configuration since it worked one day and stopped working the next (unless Ubiquiti updated something), but the channel width tip is a good one. I'll have to check that out.

      I hope you find the issue!  Gotta be something small and innocuous as you say it works in office, same ap's same controller....  make a video or clip on FP if u figure it out 🙂

    They expressly stated that LMG would keep the device.... Then asked for it back after the review. Why was there a unexpected hold up if they didn't expect to get it back. Seems a bit fishy
