    Thinking to get this UPS to protect the ONT box

    Openreach branded ONT's were originally installed into a larger housing that included a battery backup. They were phased out back in 2019. Putting an additional cable in the duct to your house would be easy. The challenge is that the technology that Openreach FTTP is delivered over is called...

    Finally, we're getting FTTP, woo-hoo!

    No CGNAT on their domestic fibre/copper broadband products but like all mobile providers they do use CGNAT on their 4G/5G connections.

    Official 2024 Indycar Season Thread

    It was fine to start off with, but it glitched when Rossi came into the pit with the puncture. From then on there was a big offset. I believe it got fixed at some point but I'd given up by then.

    Official 2024 Indycar Season Thread

    I had to give up watching it. The 10 second or so offset between the audio and video made it unwatchable. I want to enjoy IndyCar, but I also want the quality of the program not be rubbish.

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    A bit of digging in the pavement up to the property boundary and then a duct buried around the outskirts of the garden. I don't know how they installed the duct, I wasn't there at the time but I was there the day after and was very surprised at how neat the job was. No poles anywhere near...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    Not necessarily. There's plenty of direct buried places where I live that have FTTP - my parents included. No poles to be seen.

    Home Assistant beginners

    With some pointers from one of the UK Home Assistant Facebook communities I've had this working for a few months and it's superb! 5pm on Monday evening an LED strip in the kitchen turns on either red, or blue. The strip then turns off when I start the going to bed routing via Alexa or if that...

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    Yep. I already have a NAS (Synology DS1815+) which has 8 HD's in it. It's loud and power hungry. A CM3588 will be silent (it should cope fine being passively cooled) and use much less power. I'll regain space too which is always nice. Performance of the CM3588 isn't going to be earth...

    Images of items I have purchased (except trainers)

    They'll be going into one of these running OpenMediaVault. Use case is low power (compared to the current energy hungry setup) and low noise network attached storage. To go along with the SSD's, I've just taken delivery of a 3D printed case for the CM3588 in a nice subtle colour.

    MotoGP 2023 + Fantasy Team

    I really enjoyed that! Great to see Maverick riding so well but it can't be long before Acosta has that first win.

    I'm not a betting man, but if I were my money would be on MM.

    LTE5388-M804 Portforward Help

    That's the reason. You can setup port forwarding in your router, but it won't actually do anything because mobile networks use CG-NAT. Essentially a whole bunch of customers go out to the internet through the same public IP address, they're NATted through that public IP. Check on...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    My 900Mbps BT FTTP contract is up in a couple of months so it's time to look at moving elsewhere. ISP suggestions please! What's the FTTP migration process? I'm keen to avoid downtime if possible. My requirements: - IPv6. I don't care if IP addressing (v4 and v6) is dynamic or static. - No...

    Having said that I was done with the large stadium type gigs I've caved and bought a ticket to see Tool at Resorts World in Birmingham next month.

    How many Raspberry Pis do you have and what are they used for?

    They can, but I refer you to the point on not waiting to run both my DNS servers on a single bit of hardware. No, just USB but I haven't found that overly reliable with Docker. Considering I'm using automations in Home Assistant to control Zigbee devices I don't want them to fail because...

    How many Raspberry Pis do you have and what are they used for?

    Some could be, but with some challenges: - Passing hardware into Docker (in the case of Flight Tracker) is a pig to get working properly and isn't overly reliable. Mini PC not an option as the software runs on Linux. - Putting 2 x Pi-Hole instances into Docker on a Mini PC doesn't make sense...

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    I'm tempted to get one to replace my USG-3P. I've not seen many positive comments about how easy a gateway migration is so I'll have to take my brave pills when I get it a go.
