    It’s probably still IPv6 related. If you use something like Network Analyzer on your phone while only connected to the mobile network you may find that it only shows an IPv6 address and DNS server, no IPv4 config. That could explain the difference. Particularly if you were using the maximum typically permissible MTU. Your provider might also be doing some 6to4 tunneling somewhere that adds overhead and causes size problems.

    You might want to do a DNS leak test from your phone with the wireguard connection down and then with it up to make sure you’re tunneling DNS. This will be clearer if you set pihole to use something upstream that an ISP is unlikely to use - quad9 for example.


  • It would be nice to get rid of the batteries, but there seem to be downsides to each of the alternatives currently.

    Solar scales like the one from MUJI seem to update measurements slowly. I haven’t seen one that looks like it is responsive and likely to work for a lot of weighing tasks. Seems like this may be the best option for a manufacturer to innovate - bigger solar array, and a super capacitor to hold a good charge.

    Mechanical are pretty classic and durable, but you choose either capacity or precision. I haven’t seen even a 2kg model that has 1g precision. More like 20g. So not very useful for home baking. Perhaps fine for general portion control. If you go this route you will probably need one small precision scale for fine resolution and a larger one that can accommodate 5kg.

    Kinetic scales from CASO seem like a good option. The main criticism seems to be a short usable time after charging. It would stink to be 5 ingredients into a baking recipe and lose power midway through the next ingredient. It would also be annoying to keep stopping to charg it. They also seem to have slow updates when the weight changes like solar models. This is probably to reduce power usage. I think these are fine for occasional use, but not if you’re using a scale 3-5 times per week.

    My personal solution has been to use a commercial scale that has a rechargeable battery built in, as well as a power adapter. I keep it plugged in, on our kitchen counter, and I use it nearly every day. After 10 years now the battery doesn’t hold a charge, but it works fine while plugged in. I could replace the battery, but don’t need it.

    If you really want BIFL then it’s probably best to check out restaurant supply stores to see what they’re selling. At least in the US the scales from Edlund are well built and reliable, and for digital you can get a good one priced under $100. Taylor are lower quality and not as reliable, at least for the affordable models.

    For mechanical i would expect to pay $100+ for a good small one with 10g precision. To get more precision the dials need to be pretty large, so this would be a trade-off.












  • Btw: does anybody know what bad things actually happen if there is no metal cage that blocks all the radio?

    Noise happens. Could be no problem, or it could hurt your wifi or mobile data connections, or maybe raise a neighbor’s ham radio noise floor. I saw this recently when setting up a pi to run BirdNet-Pi. The USB3 connection to an SSD caused enough noise in the 2.4GHz band that the onboard wifi radio could only connect on the 5GHz band.


  • To start - moving services from bare metal to rootless Podman containers running via quadlets. It’s something I have had in mind for a while but keep second guessing the distro choice. Long-ish release cadence, systemd-networkd and a recent Podman version in the native repos, well supported, and not Ubuntu.

    So far openSUSE Leap seems like the winner. A testing machine is up to install everything, write some deployment scripts, and decide on a storage layout and partitioning scheme.

    If anyone has another distro to recommend that checks these boxes let me know!

    I like rolling release for the desktop, but only want critical patches in any given month for this server, and a major upgrade no more than every 3-4 years. Or an immutable server distro. But it doesn’t seem like networkd is an option for the ones I’ve looked at (Fedora CoreOS, openSUSE MicroOS), and I am not sure if I want to figure out Ignition/Combustion right now.

    Next project - VLANs on Mikrotik.

    OP - Navepoint makes good racks for reasonable money. I have a Pro series 9u from them and it went together without any problems. It’s on the wall with a pretty big ups in it.


  • Heck yeah! It should be great in borscht. I would reserve the liquid in the cabbage and use it to add acidity and salt to taste when the soup is done.

    I’ll bet a mushroom and rice or barley cabbage roll would be great, if messy. We sometimes make unrolled lazy cabbage rolls. Chopped onion, celery and carrot, cooked in a little oil, add garlic and the chopped protein. Season with salt, pepper and caraway. Add the cabbage or kraut and a splash of beer or water, cover and let steam a bit. Stir and serve when the texture is as you like it. Chopped tomatoes are good on top as a fresh addition.
