So if I understand this right you will need to change the network on the port attached to the synology in your UniFi configuration or set the vlan tag in the synology OS, I would do the former. It sounds like you just added a second network/vlan to the existing interface which means you actually created a trunk and are getting the old network untagged and the new network with vlan tags which the synology is dropping. Synology OS also doesn’t really support trunked ports through the UI (even though it does support a port that only uses a vlan tag) so it’s much easier to just leave them untagged.

Oh man, thanks for this, I didn’t know that there was a still-live form of Atom and I’ll have to check this out.

So phone line when it’s 2 pair UTP is also known as Cat3 and you actually brought up something else interesting, the connector also doesn’t determine what the cable is doing either, you can use an RJ45 connector with cat3 cable and the right pins populated to pass Ethernet (up to 1000FX if I remember right) just as you can use 2 pair of a cat5 cable to replace cat3 cable in a pinch.

Back to switches though, a L3 switch is called that (or called a multi-layer switch) because it’s performing functions at multiple layers, I’m just trying to make the distinction that a switch and functions involved in switching does not operate at nor use any parts of the L3 protocol stack as switches do not view network traffic in packets but instead operate using and physical addresses and frames. The same physical device may do both but its import to understand that the device is using different components and logic to perform both functions (for example, a switch forwards frames based on the MAC/CAM table), the reason this is important is that it helps understand how things like VLANs work. Also, while I would agree that in the consumer space a router is 99% for a WAN connection that is definitely not true for routers (or even routing) as a whole, there are way more reasons to use a router between two private networks than just between a private network and the internet (which is what I assume you mean by WAN but that is also not always true).

While most of this is true sometimes, in the spirit of learning I wanted to point a few things out. So in an IP network a router by definition only has one function, connecting two layer 3 networks. Switches and routers are not similar at all because they do not operate at the same layer of the OSI model and do not require each other to function. By definition a router does not really need Ethernet the protocol at all in many situations and definitely doesn’t need to have any type of WAN connection. Now all of that said, many consumer “router” devices are really a combination of the services of several devices used in a large network (usually including a router, firewall, access point, and sometimes other basic IP services like DHCP or a DNS forwarder) so it gets pretty murky.

Another thing is that in larger networks the actual transport (like Ethernet the protocol) or physical medium (Ethernet the cable like cat5/6 or fiber optic) are not related outside of the way that they are configured. What I mean by that is you can run Ethernet the protocol over a fiber optic cable if you want but you can also use the same physical cable type in other situations for other protocols as well (fibre channel storage on OM4 fiber as an example here), the cable does not dictate it directly in most situations. Another example here is ADSL the protocol being delivered over a cat5 cable. Anyway, I hope at least some of that was helpful!

That is what I’m saying, that SDK covers more than just normal users.

I mean sure but that’s a lot of words to say “I didn’t read the directions and no one caught it in a merge request review because no one else read the directions either.”

Their documentation and examples are pretty easy to read and the site parameter is explained in the getting started guide and even linked from the readme for the JavaScript sdk, and in lots of sample configurations so I’m not sure how this made it into a release and then no one noticed the missing metrics for eleven days, sounds like lots of issues in that shop.

The behavior of the sdk isn’t great but the proposed solution wouldn’t work because you can use custom endpoints for all of the components using endpoints on domains you own anyway.

This is awesome, I look forward to the weekly updates and have found lots of great tools from that. Keep up the awesome work, it is very much appreciated!

Hah now this is a great shower thought, if you want some existential dread you should watch this video from Kurzgezagt video about it called You Are Not Where You Think You Are about this idea, it’s great!

This one was a surprise to me, Boolean (as in logic/algebra) is actually named after George Bool.

Well 5ghz requires more power, has less range, and needs its own antenna so for microcontrollers this makes it pretty pointless for devices that need range and low bandwidth for sending sensor updates, especially those that are battery powered. 5ghz can also have its own issues in cities if you have a lot of use of the DFS bands as well as being worse at traversing reinforced concrete.

Also, a 2.4ghz radio can also sometimes support other things like zigbee, BT, and BLE which can be used for other functions.

For what it’s worth, I have probably 50 WiFi devices and the majority of them are 2.4ghz sensors or switches and other low bandwidth tasks and I don’t have any issues, even when living in an apartment complex. If you are having issues you might need different hardware or more access points or something.

Anyway, all that to say that 2.4ghz definitely still has a lot of utility today.

So I stared at this for a while, particularly the pattern of the seam, I have a few questions. What type of infill are you using? how many outer wall loops? How much infill overlap (or whatever it is called)?

Also what happens if you rotate the part on the bed 90 degrees so the seam is on a different axis? Or maybe 45 degrees? This will make sure it’s not some sort of mechanical issue in one direct that shows up in this specific situation.

I know that all seems random but those are what I would check hah.

I think what that person is saying is that in your example the left part would probably be more durable because it is flexible and that the part on the right is less durable but more rigid, basically saying your result is expected and makes sense if you are wanting durability over rigidity.

I think that the part that is unclear is that OP is using durability, rigidity, and strength as they are defined by material science not in common English and they way they differ in definition makes that comment make sense. I’m not a material scientist though so I could be wrong.

I hope that is correct and makes sense hah!
