    10" Mini Rack network / server setup incoming

    One of the products my company used to sell was tool-less RJ45 keystones. Quite nifty for something like that where additions are bound to happen. There is a massive 3D printing community around homelab racks like yours. If I remember the youtube channels/videos, I'll post them. Enjoy and...

    New plan to make taxis safer and with better drivers in South Africa

    MoUs, bless... the latter part of the article is more a reality. I might have a better chance of giving birth, if I identified that way.

    Uncollected ID after 10 years

    Had a similar issue a few years back: turned out that my previous passport had not been flagged as collected. I booked an appointment with Home Affairs to do the application, as I could not apply online. Got there and told the info desk my issue, and got told to wait in the entrance foyer...

    Internet over Coax cable

    Check the first few minutes of the video. Coax options are available. You may even have some old Telkom copper running around the house (what the video is more about)

    IPV6 only home network bliss closer by year-end! (except for IOT)

    Mind making a map/diagram of how you implemented (without personal IP ranges; Range A-Z and prefix [random private])? Draw.io is useful for that stuff. I want to do the same at home so I can slowly implement at an enterprise level, but so backlogged with home projects (eyes the OpenWRT SBC...

    2018 VW Polo Vivo Repair bill

    Gasket, new stretch bolts, sealants and engineering to skim the head... might be cheaper to just swap the engine. If the heater matrix is also an issue, then that could be a dash out job, so plenty shop hours there. Sounds like a lot of stellar choices. Maybe suggest a helmet and find a...

    Cabinet approves driving licence validity extension to 10 years

    We'll wait for it to be signed into law/lore. I wonder how all the Code 10 (EC1) drivers feel about being excluded.

    Gauteng roads department installing AI-powered CCTV to protect traffic lights at busy intersections

    Are they planning on installing a fibre network with mobile network backup? Something like CCT? Cameras may be useful, but really network monitoring is really the goal to see what is not working. The lights at Kyalami Main (M71) and R55 work for about a week or so after repairs then several...

    WARNING: Switch Telecoms hidden billing traps, non-disclosure, and refusal to release call recordings

    Switch takes a little getting used to. Also on a prepaid account (something went wrong with credit vetting) and in the first couple of weeks, the person (account manager?) who took me through the sign up and porting, phoned me and explained that I had to assign credit to the service. Now the...

    Bad Parking Pictures

    Be grateful they didn't hog 4 bays instead. I'm half surprised the (st)Ranger didn't do the same (they are excessively big). Money != class

    Vodapay Club

    Anybody having issues with getting vouchers? I try purchase 3x fuel vouchers and for the past 2 months, my payment fails and I'm locked out for another month. It seems when the payment fails, the reservation is not undone and hence locked out for the required period. Trying to debug this is...

    What is your favourite airport in South Africa?

    Kimberley is quaint for arrivals, but the departures waiting area feels a bit like a holding cell. The tractors are cute

    Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

    Not to my understanding. The "Athena" character (Zendaya) was the only god portrayed (few lines, but does pull a lot of the story together). The rest of the gods are mostly eluded to by their actions. The focus is primarily on Odysseus and Telemachus and the characters needed for their...

    Chris Nolan's - The Odyssey.

    I intentionally dodged the memes and reviews so I could watch today with an open mind: quite good and even for a long movie it was certainly not boring. I am told it kept fairly close to the versions (3 translations?) of the book, with a mild departure and return at some point. I do not think...

    Proxmox Server

    Dug out one of the original Hyper-V cluster servers, at work, from the early/mid-2010's (1U dual 6 core+HT, plenty memory; Intel whitebox server). Ordered some connectors and crimps to make a custom header to SATA (old ODD power header; yay for having the Technical Product Document in my...
