I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

Special skills include: Knowing all the “na na na nah nah nah na” parts of the Three’s Company theme.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • Yes, please!

    The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

    The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.




  • Look at the Nokia 2780, Nokia 110, and/or the Nokia 3210.

    They’re modern equivalents to their predecessors of yore and run a simple non-smartphone OS (Kai OS) and use VoLTE so are compatible with modern networks. Bonus is they can do things like hotspot.

    I was looking at those and similar about a year and a half ago when I wanted to switch to a dumb phone. I ended up compromising with the CAT S22 Flip which is a low-end Android phone in a flip phone form factor. Wasn’t difficult to de-Google and was able to root it. Unfortunately, they’re not made anymore so what’s left is what’s left. They’ve also jumped quite a bit in price since I got mine for $69.99 back in 2024.












  • Mine shows up on the main Overview page like in your second screenshot:

    To check from terminal, assuming your WAN interface is eth1:

    cat /sys/class/net/eth1/speed

    Should be 1000 for 1 Gbps, or 100 for 100 Mbps.

    Either end (ONT or Pi) could cause the auto negotiation to drop to 100 Mbps. Since that’s the consistent speed you’re seeing, I’m inclined to believe that’s the problem though the “why” is up in the air. Like I said, try a different ethernet cable and different device connected directly to the ONT and see if it negotiates at 1000 Mbps.




  • When it’s in this state, does the OpenWRT interface status show the speed as 100M or 1G for the WAN port?

    Assuming OpenWRT shows it as 100M, it sounds like it’s negotiating the port speed to 100 Mbps rather than 1000 Mbps.

    Have you tried a different ethernet cable to the ONT and/or checked the port for any lint, dust, or other debris? Could be an issue with the ONT but I’d rule out any simple things like a dirty port / bad cable first.

    You might also try, if you haven’t already, a different device than your router connected directly to the ONT and see what speed ethernet negotiates and if it also only runs at 100 Mbps (to rule out anything with the Pi itself)




  • I’m now running 9 of the Dell equivalents to those, and they’re doing well. Average 15-20 watts at normal load and usually no more than 30-35 watts running full tilt. 5 of them are unprovisioned but I got a good deal on them for $25/each so I couldn’t pass them up :shrug:.

    Attempting to cable-manage the power bricks for more than 1 of these is the worst part of using them. The only life pro tip I can offer is to ditch the power bricks and buy a 65W USB-C power delivery adapter that’s in the “wall wart” style and also one of the USB-C to Lenovo power adapter cords. Those make cable management so much better.
