Rookie mistake AOC vs DAC cable.
  • AOC and DAC are very different under the hood. AOC (Active Optical Cable) requires additional power for the electric and optical conversion. DAC is passive copper and doesn't require any additional power. (there are also active dac cables that have longer reach). The Ex3300 hardware compatibility page doesn't list any AOC as compatible, so you'll probably need to purchase some DAC cables. I'd go with the same part number your friend let you borrow since you know those work.

    TIL of a strange coincidence between an episode of Seinfeld and the OJ Simpson muders.
  • There was also an episode of Buffy that was held from airing because the subject was a potential school shooting and it was planned to air like the day after Columbine.

    California's third largest city is mostly empty roads
  • We used to go camping in the California City desert all the time. It is super weird seeing cul-de-sacs and street signs with nothing but dirt.

    Ubuntu server can't connect to some sites when qbittorrent is running
  • I'll double check this, but my router is enterprise grade so I don't think I would hit any NAT limitations.

    Also, as mentioned in my other response, this isn't affecting any other nodes on my network except the server running Qbit and Jackett.

    I have another Ubuntu VM on the same host that works fine when this one is failing.

    Thanks so much for the response!

    Ubuntu server can't connect to some sites when qbittorrent is running
  • Sorry, to clerify: this server is the only one effected. The rest of my network is working perfectly fine.

    All other internet traffic is running without a problem, it's only http/https traffic on this one server running Qbit and Jackett.

    Thanks for the response!

  • Hey all, ran into a weird issue with my Ubuntu server running qbittorrent-nox I can't seem to figure out.

    When Qbittorrent is running, I can't load some sites. How I discovered this was Jackett was failing tests to my trackers. Sometimes all trackers would fail, other times only a couple would.

    From the server I ran a curl to the tracker URLs and confirmed they were not loading.

    Pcap shows the TLS hello go out, but no response from the server.

    Once I kill the qbittorrent process, everything works.

    Wondering if anyone has any ideas or has seen this issue before.

    Things I've tried:

    • Disabled ipv6
    • Changed Qbit UI port
    • Paused Torrents
    • re-installed openssl
    • rebooted about 150 times and counting

    Qbit version is 4.5.5 Ubuntu 22.04.3 headless running on Esxi

    Appreciate any ideas!

    Edit: So after much frustration and some other weird things, restored to a previous snapshot and the issue seems to have resolved. Appreciate all the troubleshooting ideas and responses!

    Brought my Chromecast with Google TV to a Hotel, TV is framed.
  • Pull the bottom drawer out, there might be a set top box or something else connected to the TV via HDMI that you can unplug and use the cable from.

    I travel with a Fire Stick and bring a female to female HDMI coupler for this reason.

    Lightning McQueen is yesterday's Thomas the Tank Engine.
  • Lightning McQueen is more recent than Thomas The tank, so the correct phrase would be "Lightning McQueen is today's Thomas The Tank..." or "Thomas The Tank is yesterday's Lightning McQueen..."
