If you do have the smart PSU and power management server you probably also went down the rabbit hole of scripting the power cycling, right? Maybe made that server hardened against power loss disk corruption so it can be run until UPS battery exhaustion.

What if there is a power outage and NUT shuts everything down? Would be nice to have everything brought back up in an orderly way when power returns. Without manual intervention. But keeping you informed via logging and push notifications.

Ah, ok

Do they? I don’t see any nel0x PRs. I moved away from it out of an abundance of caution.

Ah, ok. Makes sense.

16.1? Isn’t that still alpha? I thought the latest public release was 16.0?

Not entirely sure since I’m on Slowroll and Tumbleweed.

You will need to add the hotel address to your eBay account. Otherwise asking a seller to send an item to a different address makes you sound like a scammer.

Most hotels accept guest packages.

So you have a single mobile device connecting via wg, correct? Not a second network?

If so the only configuration you should need on the router are firewall rules to allow forwarding from wg to lan. I am guessing that’s what the second step in the GL-iNet help accomplishes. That’s what I would recommend trying.

If I was doing this on “normal” OpenWRT I would create a firewall zone wg, and allow traffic to/from it and lan.

On the client device you should be good to go without changes if AllowedIPs is set to 0.0.0.0/, ::/0 (sending all traffic through wg).

That rule is supposed to be set on the “server” at the other end of the wg connection, using its own wg address as gateway. Not on the router for the lan you’re trying to access. That seems like a pretty easy mistake to make given that documentation.

You could try a short reset of just the network configuration. Hold reset for like 5 seconds. Might need to do a full reset (10+ seconds) if that doesn’t get you back in.

I use Dumbass in a similar vein. But maybe something like Bro would be more neutral.

Cool, thanks. I’ll take a look.

I have heard that. Can it be given run conditions, like only on wifi, and respecting the Android battery saving setting?

My phone has an always on split tunnel VPN to home, so the other sync devices are always accessible. Without the Syncthing-Fork run conditions it chews through mobile data and battery.

Same here. It was already a little bit concerning that I was relying on a smaller fork to get syncthing on Android. It was on my to do list to figure out options. Now it’s at the top of the list, and I’m not doing updates for the time being on Android. That’s almost the entirety of my reliance on syncthing - phone to PC sync. I don’t really need it that much for sync between PCs.

Just throwing out more ideas:

Is there a CPU spike on the VPS?

Anything weird about Wireguard on either end? Using kernel mode WG everywhere and not a user mode version, right?

As a test I would be inclined to try a very small mtu to see if it makes a difference. 1280 is a failsafe that I use when on unknown networks and trying to wg out.

Maybe try with a smaller packet size, like 1KB which I think is -l 1K

Are you specifying bandwidth (-b) on the iperf UDP test? It defaults to 1M if I recall correctly, which would explain the result.

If not, try -b 10M or -b 0 for unlimited (the behavior used for TCP).

I’m doing this on a couple of machines. Only running NFS, Plex (looking at a Jellyfin migration soon), Home Assistant, LibreNMS and some really small other stuff. Not using VMs or LXC due to low-end hardware (pi and older tiny pc). Not using containers due to lack of experience with it and a little discomfort with the central daemon model of Docker, running containers built by people I don’t know.

The migration path I’m working on for myself is changing to Podman quadlets for rootless, more isolation between containers, and the benefits of management and updates via Systemd. So far my testing for that migration has been slow due to other projects. I’ll probably get it rolling on Debian 13 soon.

Just tried this on a recent Trixie amd64 install. locate isn’t installed by default, but there is a locate/stable 4.10.0-3 package and it installs just fine for me.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install locate

I’m using Mikrotik and Ruckus. Would recommend both. I like that they are both at the level of reliability that I don’t think about them at all for months at a time. I update quarterly or less and they require no other attention from me. They also work well with my centralized data collection and alerting via LibreNMS.

OPNSense would be high on my list of alternatives when I reevaluate next time. And all Mikrotik would be a good option for me as well. Their Wi-Fi gear is not as strong as Ruckus or Ubiquiti, but they are super solid.

The Unifi ecosystem is a bit too centralized for me. I don’t want to create an account in order to use the hardware.

I’ve used a pretty cheap on (Duxtop or something like that) with a 6-8" heating coil. It worked fine on a well-conducting pan - 12" triple layer stainless-aluminum-stainless (like All-Clad, but a cheap version for restaurant use). It also did great with a 10" carbon steel pan. But I wasn’t doing anything that required maximum heat across the width of the pan. I think that’s a shortcoming for sure.

There are also reports of poor performance with larger cast iron pans, which makes sense - they’re not great heat conductors. So I think in part at least it depends on your cookware and what you’re cooking. Boil/simmer/fry in a larger highly conductive pan will likely be fine. Sear in a larger less-conductive pan maybe not so much.

Sounds like a crappy product. I’ve cooked on 2 Whirlpool/KitchenAid induction ranges (they’re the same company) and two cheap brands of countertop induction. All four were able to simmer easily and cycled on much more often and more briefly than you describe. And all were plenty powerful.

I did the most cooking on the KitchenAid and it could melt chocolate in a saucepan without scorching. I could hear it pulsing on probably for 1/2 second every 3-5 seconds. On the next setting hotter it could maintain a simmer in silly small quantities. And it could still boil a big pot of water for pasta in a couple of minutes. Pot handles stay cool and spoons don’t get burnt if you leave them hanging over the side. Loved it. I miss that range.

The only thing I had more trouble with was making caramel. The sides of the pan don’t get as much indirect heat compared with radiant or gas, so it wanted to crystallize at the edges. I had to use a thick tri-ply pan for that and still kept a blowtorch on hand to add a little side-heat.
