Have you tried doing a factory reset and not connecting it to the internet?

Printing services are not good if you’re designing your own parts and need to make test prints to get things to fit. It will take a month or more instead of a day to go through several iterations and cost a lot of money too.

Are you using anything to defend against bots?

There’s still tons of content available on public trackers. Just be sure to use a VPN so you don’t get nasty letters from your ISP. It’s not hard, just connect to the VPN and bind your torrent client to the VPN interface.

I wonder how long it will be until Kuiper is operational. They still have a lot of satellites to launch.

FAT32 is still a very common filesystem for flash drives and memory cards because it works on everything. Lots of people are likely to run into the 4GB file size limit.

Don’t leave cameras uncovered. Webcam covers are cheap. Tape works too.

There are some channels uploading several AI generated videos per hour 24/7. I’m surprised they don’t get banned.

Sure, their gear is a bit expensive, but their layer 3 switches are energy efficient and quiet. You can get an old, used switch for a lot less, but it will be expensive to run and the fans will be loud.

Your ISP has working battery backups. Don’t expect it to stay on for longer, widespread outages though. When the power is out for a week, satellite is usually the only thing that will still work.

ISPs that still provide DSL, really don’t want to put any effort into maintaining their equipment these days. They probably stopped replacing the batteries a long time ago.

You can get conductive paint for RFI shielding. It’s very conductive, so make sure that the case can’t come in contact with any circuit boards or it will short out. Make sure the paint is compatible with the type of plastic you print the case out of too.

They also make ESD safe filament, but it’s $150+ a roll.

Are those mechanical hard drives? If so, I would want a fan moving air across them. Also keep in mind that most filament is not ESD safe.

Don’t install their spyware apps in the first place.

SSHFS is slower than NFS due to the encryption and FUSE. It’s not a huge difference with a modern CPU and a 1 gbps connection, but it can be significant with an older CPU or a faster network.

You can use NFS over the internet, but it will be a lot more work to secure it. It was intended for use over a LAN and performance may not be great over the internet, especially with high latency or packet loss.

NFS is the best option if you only need to access the shared drives over your LAN. If you want to mount them over the internet, there’s SSHFS.

The connectors are held in place with a roll pin that goes through the hole. They fit tightly in the panel mount. The pin just keeps them from pushing back out.

Probably my panel mounts for Anderson PowerPole connectors. I use them just about everywhere that I need a 12V DC power outlet.

If everything written in those “obsolete” languages suddenly disappeared, the whole world would go dark.

A web server with directory listing enabled would work fine for that.
