  • Just so you know, you can remote config your Xfinity cable modem (blecch) using their app or by logging into your account.

    Yea, their modems are trash of the first order. You’d actually be better of buying your own modem and then using your own router behind it.

    That out of the way, it’s really strange they’re resetting your modem completely. I’ve used them for probably 10 years in one location and haven’t seen that.

    Not saying you’re wrong - it’s your setup. It’s just strange.

    You could always run something like Tailscale on one machine, then you’d always have a route into your network which you could use to reconfigure the modem.

    It’s a poor rat that ain’t got 2 holes.

    1000 watts is ~10amp at 120v (I know what it actually is, I’m using round figures to make it easy to grok). Plus isn’t this a 220V device?

    If it’s 120V, it’s likelyntonhave a different plug design, I forget the number.

    That said, it’s gonna pull hundreds of watts at idle.

    I’d sell much of it and use that to buy what I really want. I’d consider keeping drives if they’re a useful size for you.

    Ever heard of a man trap?

    Every data center I’ve been to uses them. Best part is if you don’t know what you’re looking at, you’d have no idea the foyer was constructed as a man trap.

    Don’t need much security when you have a man trap.
