Any way to get a Tarellian ship in STO?
Any way to get a Tarellian ship in STO? - Pawb.Social
There seems to be hundreds of ships available, from all the big factions, and even ones that only exist in STO. Do niche ships like the Tarellian ship from TNG: “Haven” exist ingame? I checked the wiki and did not find evidence, suggesting it is not ingame. It is my favourite Trek ship and I am hoping for a miracle. Maybe its missing from the wiki, maybe there is a custom ship designer that could be used to make something like it, etc.
CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN routing at 500Mbit/s
CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN routing at 500Mbit/s - Pawb.Social
Verdict: the MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is a suitable L3 gateway for internet connections up to 500Mbit/s! Story I saw this device and knew instantly its port configuration was perfect for my needs: mix of 1G/10G, SFP for labbing optical connections, and an RJ45 for WAN uplink. Its routing capabilities are well-advertised as inferior to its switching capabilities. The CRS (Cloud Router Switch) name and its capability to run RouterOS mean it can operate at L3, but MikroTik advertises it as primarily a switch appliance. Its sister product, the netFiber 9 which runs the same hardware, is advertised as capable of “light routing”. Finally, the test results published by MikroTik show sub-1G L3 performance for all but the most optimal case. It is clear that I cannot expect line speed routing from the CRS310. But, my home internet connection is 500Mbit/s. If the CRS310 can route at or above this speed, then it will be the perfect gateway device. Lets test it!! Tests I configured these parameters: * One bridge interface * No VLANs * IPv4 source-NAT for the local network * Eight IPv4 filter rules I confirmed that the bride is using the switch chip. Fast Path is OFF but Fasttrack is working. Test 1: https://fast.com/ [https://fast.com/] speed test No fasttrack Result: 260Mbit/s average with 3 samples Test 2: https://fast.com/ [https://fast.com/] speed test Fasttrack for established,related packets on all interfaces Result: 510Mbit/s average with 3 samples Conclusions MikroTik’s published test results for the CRS310 are realistic. It can route at L3 with a basic set of firewall rules and IPv4 source-NAT at least at ~500Mbit/s. I will be happy with this as my gateway :) I did not inspect the packet sizes for the tests, so I cannot compare my results directly. My numbers fall between the 1518 byte and 512 byte reference numbers for fasttrack and 25 filter rules. I’m also using source-NAT which is not advertised to be a part of any of the reference results. Differences aside, it still felt like the published results gave a good-enough indicator of sub-1G but capable routing. Bonus Mikro-pic!

600km Road Trip in BC
600km Road Trip in BC - Pawb.Social
I went on a long road trip all in one day across southwestern BC. It was just to see the landscape and to travel. I didn’t have any specific destinations of interest. It was amazing to see! There were three times that I started tearing up at just how beautiful the land was. The route was Vancouver -> Lytton -> Whistler -> Vancouver [https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/ddd545ef-f633-4ca5-a636-fb9bd7ae6486.jpeg] [https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/a6261ec7-5f9d-43a2-bd85-7e552dc21bfb.jpeg] [https://pawb.social/pictrs/image/cb8c7c9e-6d5e-4982-8d22-b36d882d4d13.jpeg]
Razer Phone 2 in 2025
Razer Phone 2 in 2025 - Pawb.Social
I am still using a Razer Phone 2 (2018) in 2025. It’s 7 years young. One battery replacement, ripped-off speaker grilles, and a dead USB port but it still chugs along. Its position as a gaming phone has meant its performance has kept up with the latest software demands quite well. I’m using wireless charging to keep it powered. I lost the ability to run LineageOS major version updates due to the dead port. Any advice? I am hoping to run this phone until it catastrophically dies or I lose it.

Anyone else going basic with their NAS?
Anyone else going basic with their NAS? - Pawb.Social
I have network storage. That’s it. I want to watch anime? I open the series folder from the mounted network share and watch it in VLC. I want to listen to music while on my walk? I open Solid Explorer on my phone and play the MP3. I want to read ebooks? I just open the file in whatever reader app I want. I have 5TiB of media and I’ve never felt the need to set up any kind of hosted frontend. What am I missing out on? Anyone else run their NAS like this? Thanks all.
I repurposed an old phone into a portable Atari 2600 for my mom
I repurposed an old phone into a portable Atari 2600 for my mom - Pawb.Social
The phone is pretty old, running Android 6. It has 2600.emu on it with the entire catalogue of 2600 games. She remembers playing on her friends’ Atari as a kid and some of the games she played so I added those as shortcuts. I tried several emulation apps: 2600.emu, droid2600, and MAME4Droid. The modern versions of all refused to install. 2600.emu and drood2600 both had an older version that installed. Overall I liked 2600.emu for its better onscreen controls & better paddle control on these specific versions. It feels nice to repurpose old tech for something “new”. It wouldn’t be possible without a dedicated community.
