I still have 2 Clarkdale CPUs and motherboards kicking around here somewhere, if you wish to upgrade.

Damn, that sounds like my wife!

I have nearly the same one on my Topton N5105.  Mine is a 120MM version.  Larger fan for less noise and more air flow.  Temps usually stay 36-44C.  I don't do any packet inspection or such.  1Gb WAN and a 2.5Gb LAN that sometimes does move large amounts of data.

Note that when I received the Topton, temps were terrible.  I needed to take it apart, lap the contact pad between the CPU die and the heatsink, and reassemble it with a copper shim and fresh thermal paste.  It would likely keep temps reasonably in spec without the USB fan on top, but I had already bought it, so I keep it sitting on top of the Topton (blowing down onto the heatsink).

Quote from: qarkhs on April 23, 2026, 06:48:33 PM[...] if Mythos was so powerful, how did Claude Code's source code leak?
oops!

More likely a planned "leak".  It went viral, created tons more chatter and attention than if they just released it and asked in a press release "Developers, would you please review this code so you can use it in the future?"  I imagine it was well scrubbed of anything sensitive they wouldn't want released.

I work in semiconductor manufacturing (25+ years now).  The "silicon" you are talking about, CPU/GPU/SoC CMOS logic, has some of the most guarded IP (Intellectual Property) that you can imagine.  The companies offering LLM AI also make semiconductor chips, so there is no way they will ever let AI get a whiff of them.

That said, there is extensive use of computer algorithmic review during all phases of development, manufacturing and test.  Companies such as Cadence Design Systems have been offering tools to the semiconductor industry for decades.

He's running a very old version.  Worked great on ARPANET.

What would be the benefit of running memtest86+ if it cannot test all of the installed memory?  Only testing a portion of your memory does not give you any conclusive result.  And avoiding memory used by the system/OS is even less valuable, for this would be the area which you would really wish to know if there is an issue.

I would start here.  Plug your modem directly into a known good computer and test.

When troubleshooting, I have always been from the school of "What was the last thing changed?"

I'll chime in here as well.  Earlier today I updated from 25.7.10 to 16.1.2_5.  For a long time I've been an advocate of never updating "critical" infrastructure or services with any software that ends in ".0" (or ".1" with OPNsense's revision formatting).  While it is just my home network, there are a number of homelab servers and services, and need to support several users needing it for school and WFH situations.  We all have become very dependent on things working properly in the past half decade.

Kudos to the OPNsense team for a seamless and pain free release.  Also want to recognize and offer a big "Thank you!" to the regulars here on the forum for your willingness to offer you advice and support.

Quote from: OPNenthu on February 16, 2026, 12:47:54 AMPerhaps :) I read it as "You can accept the baseline so that we don't have to troubleshoot your network."

My post was tongue in cheek.  You are correct, initial troubleshooting should disable any shaping and packet inspection to determine if they are impacting the situation.

Quote from: OPNenthu on February 15, 2026, 11:31:23 PMSaw a note under the section "Technologies that aren't recommended with Microsoft Teams":

QuotePacket shapers. Any kind of packet snipper, packet inspection, or packet shaper devices aren't recommended for Teams media traffic and may degrade quality significantly.

Interesting.

You could also read that as Microsoft saying "Don't do anything that prevents us from having complete control of your system..."

Quote from: franco on January 26, 2026, 10:21:17 AMos-isc-dhcp. It will auto-install on the actual upgrade to 26.1 when it's out.

Quick follow up question, for clarification: When updating to 26.1, does the os-isc-dhcp plugin auto-install also automatically configure from one's 25.x.x ISC settings?

Quote from: utahbmxer on December 24, 2025, 07:12:58 AMReally love the WAF

Had to look that up.  The only thing that my mind came up with is "Wife Acceptance Factor".  A very important metric in my home.

It is early.  Time for some more coffee.

Or perhaps today's Cloudflare issue?
