Still

[opal pagoda]

but consistency of cli/gui isnt there at all

[topaz patrol]

Lol what they sell IP phones

[opal pagoda]

haha they sell label printers

[topaz patrol]

They look suspiciously like fanvil phones

[opal pagoda]

they sell ip cameras too
might buy a couple

[topaz patrol]

May as well just go straight to china

[opal pagoda]

what supplier tho?

[topaz patrol]

I quite like Dahua atm

[opal pagoda]

their web ui makes my head hurt

[topaz patrol]

Verkada

[topaz patrol]

You don't have to use their NVR

I doubt the FS web ui would be any better

[opal pagoda]

thats ubiquiti "feature"

i might go with tplink vigi

VIGI C400HP-2.8
one costs 35e

[topaz patrol]

On-prem dedicated pbx in 2024, interesting choice

[lean palm]

I've spent 2k on an AP before

this is okay price wise

and like $8k on the wireless controller for said aps

enterprise is expensive asf

[near helm]

Hey, I have a weird question -- I just ran a LAN event and now I've got like 150 cables that are largely tangled together. I don't want to spend 20 hours manually coiling them back up -- do y'all know of any machines or tools I could buy to coil them automatically (or at least more easily)?

[ornate jungle]

https://www.schleuniger.com/en/products/peripherals/cable-coiler/cablecoiler-1450/

Likely costs thousands of dollars though so... coiling by hand might be your ticket here.

[plain siren]

If they were realllly long cables this might be helpful

but this is really intended for use with other machines that cut and strip wire or

spit out pipe

https://www.schleuniger.com/en/products/crimp/crimping/ct-15/ This would save my hands

[cobalt thistle]

man i really cant seem to understand why my performance from a eero pro 6e to be so AWFUL.

Wifi and Wired its just so bad

[plain siren]

at the main router or is this through mesh

[cobalt thistle]

its just a single pro 6e as my main router

no mesh

goes from nokia fiber ont to eero pro6e

[shrewd zenith]

do USB-A to PoE exist? trying to find but all i can see is USB-C

i need it for a really dumb work project

[opal pagoda]

you mean poe to usb a?

you want to recieve power and not send power?

[weak sequoia]

hey is there anything i can do with an ip and mac address to find out information about a device connected to my network ?

[peak cloak]

Look up mac to see device info

[weak sequoia]

can i kick an ip out of my network /

? ?

[drowsy fossil]

unplug it or change your wifi password

[lean palm]

usually, yes

though youd actually be kicking the mac adress of the device, not the ip adress

[peak cloak]

^ the IP is "the network's"

[shrewd robin]

I have been seeing this for a long time and planning to buy 1 to try out 10g. Do all rj45 to sfp+ adapters (huawei, cisco, and whatever the brand is) work the same?

my switch has 2 10g sfp+ ports, would be nice if my main and backup server have a 10g nic for faster transfer speed

[karmic marten]

is it?

line-rate?

[opal pagoda]

Mostly but they get really hot and you would want to cool them
There are older ones that only work up to 30m and newer ones that do full 100 meters

[shrewd robin]

30m is more than enough for me

[opal pagoda]

If your pc is close to the switch i would recommend using sfp+ card in your pc and dac in between

Or transcievers and fiber

[shrewd robin]

my plan is to use the rj45 10g card, and then connect it to the switch with an sfp+ module

[topaz patrol]

Yes.

[topaz patrol]

@karmic marten This is a 1100AHx4 has 2x full IPv4/6 feeds - The ccr2004 is much more capable than the 1100AHx4

[keen urchin]

Better to get an SFP+ card.

[shrewd robin]

tbh I have no idea what's best for me if you let me choose between sfp+ and rj45 10g cards

[keen urchin]

SFP+ DAC is way better than 8p8c 10gig

[shrewd robin]

ouh? enligthen me

[topaz patrol]

And a CCR2004 peered with dual route reflectors

[keen urchin]

I mean, if you have 8p8c working, who cares, but 8p8c SFP+ modules cost as much as an SFP+ card.

So why spend money on shit that's worse.

[keen urchin]

Hotter and unnecessary.

[shrewd robin]

8p8c tends to be hotter?

[shrewd robin]

well i just noticed that there is an active cooler on top of the card

lol

[keen urchin]

It isn't the end of the world though

[shrewd robin]

let me just confirm my "myth" about 10g stuff. Some sfp+ modules are not compatible with some other brand of sfp+ cards. Does that apply to all the DAC cables?

[topaz patrol]

Only really happens with enterprise switches

[keen urchin]

Yes, but also no 😄

Most likely you'll be fine.

also for example my mikrotik router doesn't "support" DAC SFP+, but on a short run it works fine.

But if you had a longer run or a different device on the other end maybe it would have problems

[shrewd zenith]

essentially i want to have a webcam but like 30m away from the PC lmao, the usb spec wouldnt allow for this so i thought can i do it over ethernet, however the issue is the webcam end cannot be powered

[keen urchin]

You can absolutely buy off the shelf USB extenders that use networking cable.

You could also use HDMI out of a canera

You could also get a USB optical extension cable

You could also use a phone and wifi to do it.

[shrewd robin]

i think this could be a good one

[keen urchin]

You could also do it with a Poe camera

[shrewd robin]

since intel is one of the most compatible brand for linux

[keen urchin]

Yep, perfect.

[shrewd robin]

darn it, I just remembered that my server motherboard has only 1 x16 pcie lane

[shrewd zenith]

sufficient enough to also power the webcam?

[keen urchin]

They require power at both ends I believe?

[shrewd zenith]

yeah i cant have power delivered to the webcam end is the issue

[keen urchin]

Why not?

[topaz patrol]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem

[shrewd zenith]

because it will be 10m off the ground on a forklift

[topaz patrol]

Well that changes things 😆

[keen urchin]

Soooo, why not just use a Poe camera?

They are literally built to do exactly what you want

Then you can stream it via obs and expose it as a virtual webcam.

[shrewd zenith]

couldnt find one that is able to be read by opencv, in an efficient enough way to have ~20 of them running at once

[keen urchin]

....

[shrewd zenith]

i know this sounds like im a madman

[keen urchin]

Now you're changing the fucking requirements

Jesus Christ

Stop all the fucking about. What are you trying to do?

Make a shitty version of frigate?

[shrewd zenith]

i wanna scan ~20 QR codes at once along a warehouse shelf XD

Aisle*

[keen urchin]

Soooo... Why a webcam? Why not have the edge compute with the camera(s)

Also why 20 cameras? You shouldn't need 20 cams to scan 20 QR codes

[shrewd zenith]

the idea is that you drive a forklift with a mast on it, the mast has cameras on it that scan QR codes on the shelves. the logic behind the 20 cameras is so you only need to do 1 pass

[keen urchin]

You could very easily process 20 Poe cams into opencv

I mean, that's more or less what frigate does.

[shrewd zenith]

looking into cheap RTSP PoE cameras now 🥲

[keen urchin]

But TF and yolo

[topaz patrol]

It'd be cheaper than using USB webcams lol

[keen urchin]

Cheap rtsp cameras can be sub $50 aud

[shrewd zenith]

webcams be like £10 tho

[keen urchin]

For bottom tier garbage, sure

[topaz patrol]

But you can't power it, and it looks like crap

[keen urchin]

And they would fail constantly

[topaz patrol]

That too

$50aud and £10 may as well be the same number

[keen urchin]

Also 10 GBP for the camera..... The extender is going to cost more than the fucking Poe cam!

I mean, I like your style of trying to hack cheap shit into something cool though.

As a rule, cost effective>>>>> cheap.

[shrewd zenith]

rough pricing of the PoE route so far is £1619 excl VAT

if you were curious

if the USB route were to work that would be £1331

the price to pay for a working solution 😔

[topaz patrol]

lol

[karmic marten]

jesus, my friend's ccr2004 was pulling only 2-5G with not even full bgp

[opal pagoda]

At our warehouses this is done by long range rfid scanners and rfid stickers on pallets

Anyone else just using OpenWRT on a simple consumer router?

[mystic latch]

If you have a specific OpenWRT question just ask it

[left oriole]

Just wondering, I'm seeing a load of posts about super enterprise hardware. What about us simple folk with little home routers and OpenWRT

[mystic latch]

It's a perfectly viable option, particularly if you already have a router that's supported

[left oriole]

I went OpenWRT because my Asus Router stopped getting updates

[brisk skiff]

Hey guys I have a question, I currently have a Wi-Fi 5 GHz card in my PCIe slot of my computer and I was wondering if I upgraded to Wi-Fi 6E if it will get bottlenecked by my motherboard that’s only PCIe GEN 3.0

[mystic latch]

Nah, gen 3 has a 3.938 GB/s throughput on a x4 slot.

[silent flax]

usually with routers the big issue is HW acceleration for higher speed WAN. Usually the CPUs in these can handle certain speeds by brute force, but once you want to go above that limit you will need HW offload, which alternative router OS might not have. For example i remember how Asuswrt-Merlin and official ASUS FW had HW offload, while Advanced Tomato had no suport for it. Thus the RT-N66U could do ~180-200Mbps WAN to LAN routing on it's own via CPU power, but above that one needed HW offload

[main hazel]

wtf?

[knotty plover]

Hi, I'm using a VPN that can do multi-bonding - redundancy for multiple networks

The problem is some websites don't allow VPN traffic or they ask puzzles all the time

dedicated servers of this VPN cost $140 per month, which isn't worth it

I was planning to do double VPN, first bonding to this service, then connecting to a dedicated VPS as VPN so it won't be blocked by any websites.

I Installed Open VPN on a Linux server, with a github app and it was working for 10 days, but then, after a while it seems services find my IP behind that VPN and the server IP I've got also gets banned.

What would you suggest?

in short:

Want to make a Dedicated VPN server with Kill switch behind it and IP / DNS Leak Protection and run it on Linux server / use it on Ubuntu system.

[clear igloo]

because WiFi

[pseudo blade]

That's kinda poor, but WiFi has to deal with the situation it has and WiFi>WiFi kinda doubles that problem.
Could be that one/both devices are far from the router and have a less reliable connection, have poor quality/old standard WiFi cards, could be using a band with contention (incl. your own) or interference...

[vocal sapphire]

Forgot the WiFi to PC is like below 15ms

Very small compared from PC to WiFi.
Don't understand why the PC to WiFi is not the same as WiFi to PC

[ornate jungle]

Something something due to the laws of physics and individual characteristics of every WiFi chipset in every device on this planet, WiFi latency will always fluctuate. https://www.wiisfi.com/

[plain siren]

Wow what a website. nice

[lunar spade]

My house has Cat 5e everywhere. My gigabit network switch says my room should be getting 1 gb/s, and a cable tester shows that all 8 lines are working, so why am I only getting 100mbps?

I haven’t tested the connection between my room and the network switch. I have to figure which of the twenty cables is mine

[ornate jungle]

If this is the only connection you haven't tested, welp, there's your problem.

So many in-wall Ethernet runs either use poor quality / uncertified cables, or piss-poor quality RJ45 keystone / wall jacks that cause the connection to be slower than expected.

[lunar spade]

They were installed around 18 years ago. It was working fine a month ago. I don’t know when it happened since 100mbps isn’t noticeable unless I am downloading a game

[thick minnow]

Is wifi 6 supposed to be 9mbps near the modem but I'm in My room which is away from the modem and I'm getting 287mbps

[opal pagoda]

wifi highly depends on the enviroment
high radio noise, thick walls and you can easily reduce wifi performance significantly

[thick minnow]

Yeah I'm still Trying to peice how I'm getting 28x more speed then I was 4 steps away

[opal pagoda]

Also what is the model of your wifi 6 router/ ap

[thick minnow]

is your network adapter set to Auto-Negotiate or 1000 Mbps Full Duplex or 100 Mbps?

[thick minnow]

iwconfig wlan0 | grep -E 'Link Quality|Bit Rate'

[ionic grove]

Well, depending on the house, there's always the possibility something chewed into it

[winged zealot]

does anyone have any tips on how to make my internet faster through my computer settings

[left oriole]

Internet speed is determined by your contract with your ISP, the specs of your Router, and the means by which you're connected to your network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)

PC settings have little to do with it

[lunar spade]

My router and network switch should be okay. A pc in another room is able to get 260mbps (my plan is 250mbps)

[lunar spade]

It was set to auto, I tried switching it to 1gbps full duplex, but it still only ran at 100mbps

[opal pagoda]

Just test the full line
It is most likely broken somewhere

[thick minnow]

Ax 1800 orbi

[thick minnow]

sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

try that

https://tenor.com/1IXn.gif

[peak cloak]

yeah that website is great, should be pinned tbh

[karmic marten]

1G-baseT with autoneg off?

you know that that config violates the standard? 😄

[thick minnow]

Your right

sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on maybe this might be right

[karmic marten]

Some routers would even go into fault mode if you turn off gbase t autoneg

like mikrotik CCR2004

[thick minnow]

i use gpt as mine

rofl

but yeah ur right

[topaz patrol]

Technically no

[thick minnow]

interesting tho

[karmic marten]

Technically yes

Autoneg is REQUIRED for 1gbaset

[topaz patrol]

The devices “shall support” autoneg, not “shall always use”

[karmic marten]

you're wrong

[topaz patrol]

No, I’m not

[thick minnow]

Could it be powersaving causing it?

[karmic marten]

Yes you're

[thick minnow]

sudo ethtool -s eth0 wol d to disable powersaving if im correct not 100% sure tho

[karmic marten]

You're reading wikipedia

I'm reading the official ieee.org pdf file..

https://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/3/ab/public/nov97/mark1.pdf

[thick minnow]

I read that for Ss7

[topaz patrol]

That is literally the 802.3 pdf

[thick minnow]

I do web application exploit development

[karmic marten]

page 4

[topaz patrol]

“Shall support” means you have to be able to do it, not that you must do it

[karmic marten]

omg

why do you think they wrote it in a different way at 10 and 100baset ?

[thick minnow]

What does this one mean? cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd

[karmic marten]

chatgpt tells you 😛

[thick minnow]

bc im pretty sure it let's you do things bc it doesn't require write

😉

[plain siren]

Correct

[topaz patrol]

That isn’t the actual spec

That’s just a presentation

[karmic marten]

send me the actual spec then. from the official ieee.org domain

[topaz patrol]

Give me a second :)

[karmic marten]

Sure. Take your time

i mean like other than windivert

[karmic marten]

hell no, I'm not reading this, even with search function it would take a million years. I just give up and agree with you. you're right 😂

official spec docs should have TLDR docs

[thick minnow]

CTRL + F?

[karmic marten]

yea. with ctrl + F, autoneg is more than 1000 finds

[topaz patrol]

That would leave even more room for misinterpretation

[thick minnow]

loll

The internet used to be a nice place 😦

jk

lol

shouldn't he do this tho sudo ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed

to check his speeds

Then he could force gigabit with auto negotiation enabled by doing something like sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg on
for an example

1000baseT/Full

or am I wrong about that?

bc shouldn't that put the speeds at 1000Mb/s?

sudo ethtool usage
-s, --set             Set device options
  -a, --show-phy-info   Show PHY information
  -i, --show-device     Show device information
  -d, --show-drv-info   Show driver information
  -p, --identify         Blink LED on device

  -h, --help            Show this help message
  -V, --version         Show version information

just an example

not 100% tho

I could most certainly be wrong but just trying to help is all

[thick minnow]

sudo ethtool --show-device

[karmic marten]

you really like ethtool don't ya?

[thick minnow]

It will show them the firmware version

so they don't brick their router

Device eth0

example

[thick minnow]

na I just used to usb debug and network debug to write game cheats when I was younger lol

[topaz patrol]

:p

[plain siren]

Well thats because 1000BASE-T1 uses a single pair of wires

And its not common

1000BASE-T requires it

Thats the normal

[topaz patrol]

Ah

[plain siren]

T1

T

1000BASE-T1 is used in automotive ethernet

If you mess around with car wiring you prob have seen this connector before

[topaz patrol]

Surely the transceivers would be much more expensive than regular 4 pair

[plain siren]

Slightly more costly

slightly

but the cable is cheaper

and less complexity

[topaz patrol]

Interesting

[plain siren]

Actually depending on your needs it may even be cheaper

so lets just say they average the same

the main loss in SPE (Single Pair Ethernet) is distance

Additionally, you lose POE capabilities (Obviously)

Ok i take that back about the PoE

Also there is "multidrop" kinda mode

where you can dasiy chain devices without a switch

[peak cloak]

meanwhile aircraft ethernet

[buoyant dust]

what are the speeds

[small glade]

No internet, no switch, no router, no DHCP server, not even a crossover cable, just rawdogging CAT5e

[clear igloo]

auto mdix from early 2000s says hi 😛

[peak cloak]

100 mbps

[buoyant dust]

ok

[peak cloak]

ARINC 664

it's actually pretty cool how it eliminates alot of wire runs in aircraft

especially the long ones like nose to tail

[small glade]

Actually is there any mechanism that prevents the 169.254.x.x addresses from clashing between 2 devices? Or is it just a 1/65536 chance that it happens?

[peak cloak]

yes

In the automatic address configuration process, network hosts select a random candidate address within the reserved range and use Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) probes to ascertain that the address is not in use on the network. If a reply is received to the ARP probe, it indicates the candidate IP address is already in use; a new random candidate IP address is then created and the process repeated. The process ends when there is no reply to the ARP, indicating the candidate IP address is available.

[clear igloo]

It will arp

@peak cloak lol, beat me to it

[peak cloak]

too bad there's like no public diagrams on it, these days we use a lot of fiber

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqlQLF1fIWg

[opal pagoda]

well the same logic was implemented in autoindustry
canbus has simplified lots of things but there are still lots of wires in the harnesses

[tropic briar]

can anyone help me? i just got a power line ethernet adapter, but my ethernet is significantly slower than my wifi. so i have two wifi connections. 5 ghz, and 2.4ghz, and im not sure what the issue is, because i dont know if its my motherboard because it only says 2.5 ghz, or if the adapter cant do 5g

[peak cloak]

oh yeah, aircraft wiring harnesses are still pretty complex

[plain siren]

Does the powerline adapter have to go over long distances to reach each other? Like opposing sides of the house

Or perhaps in different rooms that are wired to breakers that are not near each other in the breaker panel

[tropic briar]

i mean im upstairs, but theres nothing really there that could affect anything

[tropic briar]

but do you think that its the fact that my motherboard only says 2.5 ghz on the ethernet port?

[plain siren]

When it comes to the powerline stuff, it has to traverse the power lines in your house. If there is a long distance it has to travel across all your powerlines then it can be slow

[plain siren]

2.4GHz/5GHz is for WiFi because thats radio frequencies. Ethernet is just... Ethernet

So it doesnt use wifi

[tropic briar]

oh

so what do you think the issue is because its dropping from 500 mbs, to 30mbs

[plain siren]

Are you using WiFi or Ethernet

Its not very clear what you are using

[tropic briar]

im using ethernet, and im only getting like 30 mbs, but with wifi i get like 500 mb

[plain siren]

Your Powerline adapter, is it plugged into a power strip or into the wall?
How far away is the 2 adapters from each other?

[tropic briar]

its plugged into the wall, and its just 1 floor above

like exactly 1 floor above

[plain siren]

Remember, its about the distance of the wiring in the walls, not how physically close it is. If its on different floors, that means its prob a pretty good distance from each other electrically

Do you know if you have a single breaker panel or 2 breaker panels?

[tropic briar]

im not really sure about the breaker panels

[plain siren]

alright. Well it kinda does make sense its slow considering going up and down floors usually is long electrical pathing.

WiFi is faster because you are physically closer to it and it doesnt have to travel over a bunch power lines with tons of potential interference.

[tropic briar]

so what do you think i should do?

[plain siren]

Use WiFi

[tropic briar]

so you dont think i could use ethernet and get high speeds?

[plain siren]

Not with powerline it seems. You could throw ethernet in the walls

[tropic briar]

alr thanks

500mbps is pretty much best-case for powerline and if you're on a different floor of the house you'll never replicate it. Stick with the WiFi you have unless you have stability problems, in which case fix those rather than moving to a different technology.

Unless you have coaxial cables in your walls and can do MoCa, as that works a lot better than powerline

[plain siren]

MoCA is costly as hell

[pseudo blade]

Can be. So is running ethernet through walls properly

I'd do that but I'm aware most do not have that option

[pseudo blade]

A cheaper solution with no benefits vs not having it is also overpriced

0 value is worth $0

[plain siren]

He has WiFi

[topaz patrol]

This is a sign to disable IPv6, right?

[long scarab]

That's the most disgusting way to describe it

[left oriole]

But also accurate lol

[opal pagoda]

clearly

[plain siren]

What kind of registrations though

[topaz patrol]

SIP

[plain siren]

Lovely

IPv6 in theory opens up tons of awesome possibilities with VoIP

[topaz patrol]

I don't want to know about them :p

[plain siren]

TOOBAD

I want my ENUM DNS before IPv6 honestly

rDNS for Phone numbers, begone PSTN

[solar dagger]

hey
i'm getting a 403 error when running nextcloud desktop client or connecting froom a mobile app
it works fine on website
can anyone help?

[robust cloak]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this or if it belongs in #1027757333117415424, but
I'm looking into buying a NAS (4bay) systhem but i'm not sure yet which one.

• Regarding the requirements: A feature like Synology’s Quick Connect is essential—specifically for remote access to files from other PCs or from my phone, which is very important to me. Besides that i'm prob just gonna use the standard NAS features.

• Building my own NAS sounds interesting, but I have concerns regarding power consumption, heat, time investment, and, most importantly, the software question—how well can TrueNAS or Unraid match up with DNS and other similar features offered by other Brands?

• Security is another important aspect. After some research, I’m not entirely sure if QNAP is the best option, given their multiple incidents over the past few years.

• Overall, I’m torn between these four NAS options, with the main question being whether Synology’s software is worth sacrificing the better hardware:

  • QNAP Turbo Station TS-433-4G - https://geizhals.de/qnap-turbo-station-ts-433-4g-a2749367.html?hloc=at
  • QNAP Turbo Station TS-462-4G - https://geizhals.at/qnap-turbo-station-ts-462-4g-a2924145.html
  • QNAP Turbo Station TS-464-8G - https://geizhals.at/qnap-turbo-station-ts-464-8g-a2872932.html?hloc=at
  • Synology DiskStation DS423 - https://geizhals.de/synology-diskstation-ds423-a2915258.html?hloc=at
    (shipable to Austria)

[plain siren]

Out of all that you listed, Id pick 2 and put them in this order:
DS423
TS-433-4G

The 462 and 464 are not great

The DS423 is more robust out of all those QNAP Appliances listed

QNAP's larger offerings (rackmount) is where they shine

[pseudo blade]

Building your own x86 NAS won't be as pretty or efficient as the premade ones but can still be respectable with mild tuning, you'd do that for control. I'd personally do that but idk what your bs tolerance is. Otherwise if Synology sounds like your cup of tea and is in budget why not?

[plain siren]

TrueNAS is great.

[pseudo blade]

I run a home server for work on a dell optiplex 7090 and running workloads on 4 of 8 cores it's using 50w or so

At idle it'd use closer to 30w

[plain siren]

The only real probem I ever had with these is that I cant seem to build me one that has that nice smol size. Even with SBCs because they always lack something 😦

[pseudo blade]

An embedded NAS might use 10w or less at idle

[pseudo blade]

Yeah I think SBCs are a dead end

Too little IO

Pi NAS sounds neat, in practice it's all the joy of 1x pcie lane aka none

[plain siren]

The Helios64 was a great project until it died

[pseudo blade]

It did look neat, it proper died?

[plain siren]

Well now im looking again

https://blog.kobol.io/2021/08/25/we-are-pulling-the-plug/

[pseudo blade]

Sad but also it wasn't that flexible anyways

[plain siren]

In theory, I could use one of those Rockchip or other boards with the NVMe slot on it (one with proper x4 lanes) and put one of those m.2 SATA Expander boards lol

[pseudo blade]

If you wanted one and only wanted gigabit or so that'd be fine

[plain siren]

look how cute it is awhhhhh

[pseudo blade]

I mean I'd rather have a mini-itx/matx x86 board that comes with 4 sata ports standard and room for m.2 SSDs

A/E-key is annoying

Generally the only A/E key slot you'll get on a board was intended for a WiFi card

[plain siren]

Ive swapped those out on motherboards (Usually the WiFi card is under the IO Shield) for 4G and 5G Modems and once a small FPGA I was using for compute

You can also do some fun jank shit like this

[silent flax]

i did a much worse version of that

mPCIe

poor thing runs from PCI-E 2.0 x1

i mean sure, it still has enough bandwidth for two 2.5 gigabit NICs, but still, feels weird

[robust cloak]

From what i've been seeing and heard so far from asking around is that besides synology non of the others offer a secure option to acess the NAS from outside of your home network or is there an "easy" option with TrueNAS?

[silent flax]

the remote access feature is where the insecurity for both QNAP and Synology solutions come from

[plain siren]

This

[pseudo blade]

Yeah the Synology one flat out puts the interface on the internet

[plain siren]

Use a VPN you setup.

[robust cloak]

QNAP had major implications whereas Synology has a good track reckord with it so far no? If you set up a good PW with 2fa you should be fine

[plain siren]

Irregardless of the track record, its not advisable

[silent flax]

until someone finds a hole, which there was one just last week

[pseudo blade]

A vuln was found days ago

[silent flax]

https://pcper.com/2024/11/nasty-flaws-in-networked-storage-patch-synology-and-qnap-asap/

[pseudo blade]

Security is achieved by limiting the attack surface

Strong passwords are only one link in the chain

[silent flax]

and while yes, they manufacturers often try to patch these as fast as they can, you still need to pull the fixes and sometimes those can still come late

[pseudo blade]

2FA is not foolproof

It is generally very hard to hack a NAS you can't interact with

[silent flax]

and NAS is a very valuable target too, due the natuere of the device

[robust cloak]

Yea thats where the 3. backup should/would come in

[pseudo blade]

I'm using permanent wireguard tunnels for remote access to stuff

The attack surface is very small

[robust cloak]

The main reason why i want to have acess to it is for using some files (Obsidian notes app) I've got on my PC to sync that also to my Phone so I've got that always accessable and with me

[robust cloak]

how does that work do you pay a subscription for that?

[plain siren]

You host a Wireguard Server

Then expose that to the internet (Port Forwarding and Firewall Rules on your Router)

I use Wireguard myself.

[pseudo blade]

Free and built into Linux and probably both Synology and QNAP by now

[plain siren]

your NAS may come with software to host a VPN off of. Those are usually fine to use.

[plain siren]

Yeah IIRC they are built into both now

[robust cloak]

on my NAS?

[silent flax]

you need a publicly accessible IPv4 or IPv6 address (public IPv4 can be an issue these days)

[plain siren]

Yes. Or on another Server/Device/Whatever. Your NAS prob has a VPN Server Option, many do

[robust cloak]

yea I've heard that before would i need one for quick connect as well or no?

[plain siren]

a VPN lets you connect to your network over the internet as if you were right there connected at home

[pseudo blade]

You just run the client software on your computer/phone and add configs to reach out to your home IP/dns and port forward the right UDP port

Once configured it's near zero fuss

I forget it's running on my phone

[silent flax]

no, they act as a middle man to connect you with the NAS. Technically, your NAS has a connection to quickconnect, and QC and your NAS then communicate whatever you say to the Synology server

[plain siren]

Login to your router, find the reported public IP. If it starts with 100.X.X.X your ISP prob uses CG-NAT, this will be an issue. If not, then you prob have a static Public IP (Dynamic public IPs are rare now [changes every now and then])

[pseudo blade]

Synology also exposes a UI to the internet via upnp

[plain siren]

Fuck UPNP

[robust cloak]

yea seen that

[plain siren]

The QuickConnect server is actually a STUN/TURN server IIRC

[silent flax]

and if direct connection is not possible, then

[robust cloak]

If i put a firewall inbetween setting up the vpn prob just gonna take a bit longer but then it still should be fine right?

Also thoughts on Recertified HDD's? (https://www.jb-computer.de/search?sSearch=ST12000VN0008) ?

[topaz patrol]

Not all routers correctly report the public IP when under CGNAT. cough Amazon and Google cough

Well I guess they do correctly report the public IP, just in an unhelpful way

[plain siren]

Yeah there are some that show the "True Public IP"

you have to use tracert to find out if you are on CG-NAT

[topaz patrol]

Also 100.128.0.0/9 and 100.0.0.0/10 are real world routable

[plain siren]

yes I know, I was being very broad

[robust cloak]

ok just did that my 1. one is a 10.0 2. one is a 178 which seems to be from my ISP

pretty sure i set up the 1. one a bit back when i tried out a firewall xD

[silent flax]

you can also have a public IPv4 without port forwarding and not be behing CG-NAT... I hate IPv6 DS-Lite 😄

[plain siren]

Oh god fuck that noise

[topaz patrol]

Also sometimes you can get away with forwarding via UPnP under CG-NAT

[plain siren]

This is actually really funny shit. It usually means the ISP isnt blocking some things they should be upstream

[topaz patrol]

We’re doing 1:1 CG-NAT atm so you could get away with that if we had UPnP enabled

[plain siren]

Honestly idk why some carriers even do this. If you are doing 1:1 then you might as well just do the work to pass it through.

[topaz patrol]

Not worth it when it’s going to be one:many CG-NAT in the near future

[pseudo blade]

I don't love them

[robust cloak]

The recertified part or the seagate HDD'S?

[pseudo blade]

I meant recertified but tbh Seagate's 12tb offering were rather unreliable, no data for that exact model but its predecessors were poor

Maybe all has been fixed

Maybe not

Either way recertified drives are a gamble too far for me

[mystic latch]

Anyone a current google fiber subscriber? Looking to buy a home that's serviced by them and I'm wondering how using your own router works. With at&t the only way to bypass their gateway to directly use only your own stuff is to get a 3rd party SFP ONT.

[topaz patrol]

It's really not a great feeling when being this close to running out of public address space

Hurry the fuck up APNIC :(

[meager ginkgo]

i've used a couple from ebay and had no issues, no bad sectors or anything on the ones i've received

or you could rat your own phone

I keylog all of my devices

on a side note I found some malware today attacking my system at *com.google.chrome.sharing.fcm,379932496580

it was hiding in \AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\GCM Store\Encryption

\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Sync Extension Settings\ofegadkhaapboilkjacpdojpnfphbgpp also in here

witch i found to be odd

and it was coming from metamask

It was trying to web hook me and log to these 2 folders

majorgeek's unlock tool is the only reason i found it

com.google.chrome.sharing.fcm was where it hooked

https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging witch brought me to this

Im thinking it was a websocket push to the chrome browsers alerts

just thought someone should know

here is what it was doing btw

[plain siren]

@ornate jungle I just got a notice from one of my carriers that a LATA in Chicago is getting torn down to get rid of the TDM Networks and they are switching it entirely to VoIP

TDM Is finally dying

[topaz patrol]

Took you that long?

[plain siren]

What?

I dont control what and when the carriers switch over to newer standards

[topaz patrol]

I as saying "you" as in North Americans

[plain siren]

Oh

AT&T is to blame actually.

[topaz patrol]

We have now transitioned to a full IP Voice network following the decommissioning of our TDM SS7 Stack to Telstra and connecting directly to their IMS Network as of late February
From one carrier, and the other one did it early last year

[plain siren]

There is this fun little standard called ENUM DNS. Its reverse dns for a phone number. Its in use around the world quite a bit now. If you rDNS lookup an IP you get a hostname. If you rDNS a phone number, you get a SIP URI. So instead of having to check the TDM networks and go through them to get to the owner of the phone number, a tel # can be owned the same way a domain name can.

AT&T has been super heavy on the lobbying against this

Between them and another company, thats 70% of their income. They charge states 7 figures each for secure access to the TDM Networks

The second someone brings up the ENUM DNS Registry, AT&T basically dies.

they spend TONS of money trying to stop us from catching up to the rest of the world

the day our Phone Numbers are the same as our emails, I will rejoice

[topaz patrol]

lol

ENUM was a whole bunch of failed promises here

[plain siren]

ENUM is a whole bunch of failed promises everywhere until +1 is on it

[topaz patrol]

A bit like STIR/SHAKEN was in the US

[plain siren]

Were getting there.

Only in the past 4 months has all the VoIP carriers been appearing in the registry

And thats because the FCC is taking FOREVER going through the applications

[topaz patrol]

Yikes

[plain siren]

They didnt realize there was that many VoIP carrier companies out there

[topaz patrol]

There'd be thousands

[plain siren]

their approval process got DDoS'd physically

[topaz patrol]

Thank you ACMA and Comms Alliance for regulating quite well in Australia

[plain siren]

the big carriers are also finally stopping with signing on behalf of resellers

and requiring them to get their own cert

that was meant to be transitional anyways

The second STIR/SHAKEN dropped, I was on top of it so I got into the mix with ATIS minutes meetings even

It would actually help if carriers knew what the hell the attestation levels actually meant

Some carriers refuse to use the C Level

[topaz patrol]

We just need to figure out SMS - Voice spam and fraudulent CLI overstampped calls are mostly gone

[ornate jungle]

It's funny because telecom things still largely vary depending on where you're located in NA too. For example, Canada doesn't really use LATA like the US does, even though the field technically exists on our telephony systems.

[ornate jungle]

If only STIR/SHAKEN actually worked reliably across all POTS providers. 😄 It sort of does, but also... I've found it to be dodgy at best.

[plain siren]

TDM assumes to be "Legit" which sucks because it aint across international gateway providers

they are implementing new standards for this

but its so far behind

ATIS-1000096 was Released on Jul. 21st 2021

which is OOB PASSporT for TDM

ribbon only got around to consulting for it in Jan of 2023

This is the 2 kind of approaches we got

in order to support "both" on both sides you gotta do a boundry approach

This doesnt actually work even though it seems like it would make sense. You would have to have contract with the other service provider on the other side... which cant be garunteed right now

[plain siren]

Canada defines as "LATA 888" but IIRC Canada has "LIR"

I have a couple of them kicking around the house, they work just fine

[buoyant dust]

alr

it was one I just had on hand

[ornate jungle]

110% this. Unless we treat all phone calls as guilty before being proven innocent, all a scammer has to do is route their spoofed call display calls through an overseas VOIP provider. (Oversimplification but the idea stands.)

[ornate jungle]

An unmanaged 8 Port gigabit switch is an unmanaged 8 Port gigabit switch. So long as it doesn't overheat (due to defects or where you place it), should handle the load of 8 devices. Maybe not full gigabit for 8 devices all at once - usually need a business grade switch for that, but for home / small business use? Yeah, sure, this should work fine.

[ornate jungle]

That said, I am partial to switched that at least use Metal housing for both the greater durability and improved cooling.

Guys so the 763mbps is right next to the router, 363mbps is 100ft away from the router & in my room, 536mbps is about 5ft away from my new AP.

Is the speed that I’m getting from the AP good or should it be in the 600/700mbps download range?

Btw, the number of devices did not change

But I’m purely using the AP in my room because the WiFi is unstable in my room & sometimes it doesn’t work even after replacing the router

[marsh oracle]

I'ma try me luck here again, I have the following issue:
HyperV machine A can ping HyperV machine B fine.
However HyperV machine A can NOT ping any nested HyperV machines inside HyperV machine B.
HyperV machine B can in fact ping the nested HyperV machines fine and vice versa.
But the nested HyperV machines can not ping HyperV machine A

They all reside in the same network and subnet, no Windows firewall involved.
I reconfigured the vSwitch in any combination, external, internal, private to no avail.

Who's got any ideas what else to check?

[gilded ingot]

Every 5 minutes I have some packet loss

And seems to line up with WAN lease time

which is set to 5 min, is that normal ?

And can it be increased on my side ?

Fore reference, the ping plotted

That or some way to configure the router to send trafic while the it's renewing the lease ?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/387022787480387605/1210996229761273937/image.png?ex=672cf3a0&is=672ba220&hm=021691e3638743e321afbc7988f05552b0e10eb7df043210e017e822a649b51b&

I was using my ONT directly and it was 10min lease time as seen here, but now had to put back (need to get a FTTH CATV splitter since now I have TV and not just network) their router in bridge mode which is even worse at 5 min (I don't think with ONT was that bad, but I never noticed it before)

[thick minnow]

Guys

So I am planning to run my own private network using my dorm's LAN

Since we have a router made for like 6-7 devices but we have 18 devices at peak

So I was thinking of purchasing a simple wifi router, dual band gigabit as usual

Hijack the room's LAN (is separate from the wifi)

And make my own private AP

It should be viable, right? Right?

A fren does so and he has like gigabit coming through instead of the rest

[long scarab]

I'm in proxmox, and I made a linux ethernet bond. Link aggr is enabled on my switch for eno3 and eno4, the gigabit ethernet ports. The node is online in the cluster, but I can no longer get to the web UI. How can I fix this?

They ARE showing up in DHCP, but I can't get to them

Decided to hijack the LAN for real this time

[high widget]

hallo I have got a good question but I'm not too sure ask
the question is some motherboards got WiFi but are they actually that good the inbuilt ones or could I just buy a Wi-Fi card and just slam into a PCI slot?? better performance out of a dedicated wifi card or inbuilt wifi card? I have looked around and no one's done research on it mmmm

[clear igloo]

It doesn't matter, just make sure you have an antenna that can be put on top of your computer and not some screw on ones that can't be moved above the metal box and block wifi and reduce performance

[silent flax]

usually it is the same thing, just in a different package - typically motherboard wifi modules are just a M.2 key A/E wifi card in a metal shell with holes for antennas, connected to a vertical M.2 key A/E slot

Hey, I have been thinking about getting into tech flipping. Buying broken tech online and fixing it for profit. Does anyone know some good tech to flip and where would you buy and sell? I love tech and want to make some money from it. I only have $200 to invest in to some sort of tech then buy the parts for it. I believe I have all of the tools for it. If you have any advice dm me when possible.

[ornate jungle]

Sure. Buy stuff with broken capacitors. Replace the capacitors. Sell the stuff. Profit? Honestly, if it were that easy, everyone would buy broken tech to resell. Your other option is buying pallets of returned items from Amazon or another retailer, then sorting through the pallets for things of value that work.

Think I have enough spare APs?

[plain siren]

I prefer this picture

[pseudo blade]

Hey that's kinda neat as an explanation, might use it

[pseudo blade]

All Meraki? I assume so based on the switch

[lean palm]

Mix of meraki and cisco aironet

[plain siren]

Do you have the licenses to those?

[lean palm]

Yup, I got lifetime free licenses through a friend ;)

[pseudo blade]

Lucky you

For most they'd be near useless

[lean palm]

Havent payed for my meraki hardware for 3 years

[plain siren]

I got a bunch of aironet APs

[lean palm]

I have some 50 aps from them, 10 switches, and 10 routers (meraki)

[lean palm]

Which models?

[ornate jungle]

They make great paperweights.

[pseudo blade]

Sorry, I went paperless years ago

[plain siren]

not sure. I took them from a now defunct college

[lean palm]

Lol

[plain siren]

stuffed them into a box and never looked

or ... 12 boxes

[pseudo blade]

Some used aironet kit can be pretty sick if you don't care for the latest and greatest

[lean palm]

By chance…could you get the model numbers

[plain siren]

Climbing around ripping them off the walls was fun

[lean palm]

You can get the 4800 ap for $25 on eBay and get mGig, dual 4x4 5ghz radios, and a lot of features when running Mobility Express

Those aps went for like 2 grand new 5 years ago

2602I-A-K9
2702I-A-K9

that was the first box on the top

[opal pagoda]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[celest salmon]

yeah exactly

I mean that they create No-name key , combing their own private with public key of other person

these 2 No-named keys can decrypt info right?

My question is what 3rd party can do if he own any key,it is obvious. But less obvious the fact how data is encrypted. Because the assymetric cryptography is used in multiple concept I want to know what exactly happens here, I guess whole data (their secret) is ecnrypted?

And I would like the concept where GnuPG is used for

( like the Alice and Bob's concept is definently about messenger or any type of transmission )

[silent flax]

that is the whole point, the end result is the secret, not the intermediate keys. And then that secret is used for something, in TlS they use it to generate a symmetric key based on that secret, and because they share a secret, they generate the same key.

How do I improve my signal in my apartment room?

Outside that window is a crummy storage area and a wall with an opening up top (it's fenced with thin bars) separating the apartment and the small road behind the wall. The signal is always very weak no matter what kind of SIM card or modem I try. I resorted to switching the antennas to increase signal, but the difference is very little (the other modem is off and not being used). I'm looking to invest in those big antennas that can be mounted onto the fence bars of the wall's gap above just to improve the signal

Something like this

Idrk if this is the best channel for this. But this is apparently for networking and stuff so yea

[mystic latch]

There are cell tower base stations that some providers offer, but the simplest would likely be Wi-Fi calling. I'd be surprised if your carrier didn't offer that.

[topaz patrol]

What region are you in?
Also, take a screenshot of the rsrp, rsrq and snr values which can be found in the advanced tab in the web ui

[topaz patrol]

That's not what they want.

[mystic latch]

No? They seem to essentially want to have a better cell signal.

[topaz patrol]

They are using a 4G modem, and that 4G modem isn't preforming as they expect. A repeater won't do much/any good

[mystic latch]

Ah very well then.

[whole needle]

The antennas are mostly to catch the signal emitted from cell towers. They don't project the actual internet, as I realized from a bit of research

[fervent brook]

Is it a bad idea to watch YouTube while I'm using crystaldiskmark to try to benchmark a network drive?

Speaking of, would I technically get better access speeds to my NAS if my PC and the NAS were on the same Switch instead of having the PC on the router and the NAS on the Switch that is attached to the router?

[pseudo blade]

Putting the antennas together like that means they won't work together properly - they're supposed to be spaced apart for diversity, all the more crucial if your signal is poor.

[whole needle]

That's noted. Thanks

Still planning to invest on bigger antennas tho. My signal is always weak regardless of the position on the window

[pseudo blade]

You can also buy specialised 4G modem routers designed to sit outdoors in the weather so you can just aim it and not lose signal in cables

So you just run ethernet inside

I had customers who tried adding aftermarket antennas on cables like you're talking about and the result simply isn't as good

Depends on your budget a bit

I'm talking something like this on the high end of cost: https://mikrotik.com/product/atl18

Cheaper end: https://mikrotik.com/product/sxt_lte6_2023

Not sure what country you're in, but if it's unsuitable to the above there are other similar options

[whole needle]

I'm in the Philippines

[whole needle]

Yeah... this thing costs almost as much as my phone 🙃

[celest salmon]

Guys can you describe me the process using GnuPG

( I didn't find it on Wiki )

[pseudo blade]

That's income disparity for you, from a global perspective that's dirt cheap for what it is and there's few options cheaper bar finding them used or fixing/repurposing junk

Guess you'd better separate those antennas and find a spot with better signal

[fervent brook]

What if i told you antennae lengths are somewhat specific to the signal they're intended to receive... And just buying longer antenna might make the signal worse.
Also consider, I'm stupid and have no idea what I'm talking about

[ornate jungle]

https://gnupg.org/documentation/index.html

[fervent brook]

Lol, i like the fact that everyone is thumbs upping the part where i say i have no idea what I'm talking about. Touche.

I thought it was two separate posts

[plain siren]

But you are not wrong

[fervent brook]

Touche for me!

[plain siren]

You take the speed of light 299,792,458 and divide it by the frequency (lets say 433MHz)
299792458/433000000 = 0.6924 = 69.24cm
You want the wavelength/2 for the full size of a dipole antenna which I will use in this example
thats 34.62cm (13.6in) for half (L in the diagram)
and 17.31cm (6.8in) for quarter (E in the diagram)
and that give you a dipole antenna tuned for 433MHz

[topaz patrol]

Ah yes, rip out the fibre because your NTD got damaged in a storm and replace it with Starlink, how incredibly smart

Elon meat riders piss me off so much

[ornate jungle]

Um what? Like, sure, having Starlink (or another viable satellite provider) as a backup makes sense in certain situations, but "ripping out what's broken" to install satellite internet is a silly solution. Perhaps, maybe... fix the broken wired connection first? 🤔

[topaz patrol]

And people suggesting Starlink when they have no idea where someone is or what better options are available

Rant over - For now :)

[fervent brook]

Yeah, something like that. I just remember some blurb that came with my SDR USB kit and about the antennae doesn't work so well if you don't properly extend and place it

[tribal sequoia]

Starlink I now trust about 0.0%

[peak cloak]

?

[fervent brook]

Because people are stupid?

[pseudo blade]

Unfortunately in some places there is genuinely no better option

A lot of Australia's like that thanks to the very intentional mess that is the NBN

[topaz patrol]

I would argue that less than 4% of premises are better off with Starlink

There are only 84,800 premises connected to the nbn® Sky Muster satellite service, not a whole lot, and performance is probably better than you’d expect

[ionic grove]

I know it's not what you posted this for, but now I'm wondering how fun/painful it would be to just, build your own wifi antenna, mostly for learning purposes of course
Running the calculations through wolframalpha gives me almost 3cm at 5GHz and 6.25cm at 2.4GHz, which as someone who has basically no idea what they're talking about, you could get wire that length from a paperclip or a staple, surely? Honestly, the more I think about it this question is more about amateur radio than it is about networking lol

[plain siren]

yes 6.25cm for the full antenna for the 2.4GHz

[topaz patrol]

Of the ~742,800 premises able to connect to the nbn® Fixed Wireless access network, ~668,500 will be able to achieve peak downstream wholesale speeds of 100Mbps by the end of this year, and ~580,000 will achieve peak downstream wholesale speeds between 250 and 400Mbps

[plain siren]

there is an adjustment factor which is the diameter of your conductor

but we are going to ignore that

[topaz patrol]

And that 400Mbps number is quite conservative, I've seen 600Mbps+ with the new V4 WNTD

[plain siren]

break apart a wifi antenna if you have one

measure it

[ionic grove]

well, I have one but, I am kinda using it lol

[peak cloak]

Starlink early mover advantage is crazy

[ionic grove]

more seriously there probably is an extra one lying around here somewhere

[peak cloak]

Got DoD contracts worth billions

[topaz patrol]

Only about ~800 premises have disconnected their nbn Sky Muster service in the last 3 months, too. (Quite a few of these were likely just switched to the Fixed Wireless network after a TQSR)

I think lots of the Starlink uptake is from premises previously on ADSL and NGWL, where it actually makes sense imo.

[peak cloak]

Transformed aviation and marine internet

[pseudo blade]

It's not just Sky Muster, FTTN performance and reliability is dreadful

Plus with FTTN there's no recourse or upgrade path if you need faster speeds, and this region has lots of "25mbps is all you're getting" households

[topaz patrol]

There will be less than one million FTTN premises by the end of 2025

[pseudo blade]

Or Fixed Wireless

[topaz patrol]

Let me do a speed test for you :)

[pseudo blade]

I'd dare say it's still a lot of houses

A lot of landmass

[topaz patrol]

It is, but it is a remarkable improvement

And N2P upgrades are super streamlined now

[pseudo blade]

Not enough to invalidate Starlink's value proposition

[pseudo blade]

lol you're not getting that in this service area (and the upload is still just punitive)

[topaz patrol]

Most techs are knocking out 2 or 3 a day, whereas just a couple months ago most N2P upgrades required multiple truckrolls

[topaz patrol]

It's FW Superfast, pretty darn impressive if you ask me :)

~6km LOS

This is a premises on a different tower, with the V3 WNTD

[pseudo blade]

For funsies checked my old house on the other side of town

no

[topaz patrol]

Checked for what?

[pseudo blade]

Available service speeds

[topaz patrol]

On FTTN?

Or FW?

[pseudo blade]

FW

[topaz patrol]

What version WNTD?

[pseudo blade]

FTTN hell no I get 50/20 and only barely

[topaz patrol]

Or LOCID?

[pseudo blade]

I'm not that friendly with you yet, good sir

[topaz patrol]

Fair enough :)

What version WNTD?

[pseudo blade]

Probably never seen an upgrade

[topaz patrol]

If it's a V2 measured speeds wouldn't be available

[pseudo blade]

But offering a max of 100mbps plans with speed estimates of 50mbps

[topaz patrol]

What RSP are you looking at?

[pseudo blade]

I picked ABB to check that

[topaz patrol]

Ah. They do offer HSFW now

[pseudo blade]

It is a WNTD v2

[topaz patrol]

Yeah that's the problem :)

[pseudo blade]

The tower's also heavily subscribed

Not as direly as the old mess but still

[topaz patrol]

All AVCs with a V2 are eligible for an upgrade to a V4 WNTD, it's just a ticket away

[pseudo blade]

It covers a lot of ground that really should have been FTTN/P in the first place

[topaz patrol]

Very few towers have congested backhaul nowadays, the problem is more likely the WNTD

[pseudo blade]

There's an entire housing estate pointed at one of the sectors

I'd believe that

Same premises, directly on WNTD

it's not going to be used as home router. kinda test environment with virtualization + opnsense

Its the cost per minute outbound for AWS's Chime SDK service

Heres a proper carrier for comparison

$0.00095/min```

thats 505% more

One of the higher rated zones is this

$0.0228/min Which is costly

but thats rare to see

And odd considering one of their upstream carriers has a switch in there....

oh shit this was installed last month thats why

and thats why high cost zones usually dont stick around long with good carriers

Well duh

Of course AWS is going to be horribly priced for something like that

Anyone familiar with Global Protect VPNs? One of my users has an interesting use case where he's unable to connect to the VPN IF he attempts to connect through a device that he's RDP'd into. So assume he has a desktop and a laptop. He RDPs from the desktop to the laptop which was the VPN connect software installed. The auth works but then he can't fully connect. However, if he just tries it from the desktop it works fine. Could there be some sort of app-related block on VPN connections?

[plain siren]

Once the glass actually gets fully exposed though, itll stop working. If you take the black shield off a pedestal you will notice that internet will drop sometimes. Thats because the light from the sun interferes

The same will happen here

[vast saddle]

Ohhh

the corrosion is taking hold here by the looks of it, my guess is actual damage will occur that will break it before its exposure to light

If something needs poe++ can you put in poe+++ and it'll lower itself to wutd needed?

Cus ubiquitis coming out with a new high end switch which I'm hoping i can just use instead of pro max

That and if a thing needs 2.5gbe poe++ if i connect one of the 10gb poe+++ will it lower itself to 2.5gbe (like other rj45 ports) aa well as lower itself to only send poe++ instead of poe+++

[pseudo blade]

PoE+++ seems to be some ubnt marketing thing for 90w 802.bt PoE AKA PoE++

So yeah it's fine

[tribal sequoia]

The entire premise of the Poe standards and device class detection is based on this

So yes.

[plain siren]

"Hi-PoE"

802.3bt type 4

[plain siren]

Actually its gonna depend if the switch supports 2.5G negotiation

Some devices will only support 1/2.5/10, some will only support 1/5/10

2.5G is actually 10G operating at Cat5e Bandwidth (100MHz)

10G needs 400Mhz

so 2.5G is running at 1/4 the frequency of 10G resulting in 1/4 of 10G

5G uses 200Mhz. Sometimes the chips cant use frequency splitters in that granular of a matter. They will use internal counters

I purchased a netgear gs308e managed switch not that long ago and want to set up 2 vlans, however, I'm not able to get the webui to come up, and it is currently acting as an unmanaged switch. Note I am at college, and we do not have any private ips, only public, so trying to navigate to a local ip won't work

Any ideas would be appreciated

[lunar spade]

It turns out my cable was plugged directly into the router instead of the network switch. I did some tests and all 8 wires are good between my room and the basement. I was able to get a gigabit network connection when I plugged my ethernet cable into the network switch

would the speed drop be caused by a cable partially falling out then? Also, would you recommend directly plugging my ethernet cable into the router, or connecting it to the network switch

[peak cloak]

this is confusing, how are you planning on setup VLANs if it's just connected to another uni switch

[pearl locust]

I have an nfs share on another machine I want to access from my pc

[peak cloak]

draw a diagram, I'm still not understanding what you are trying to do or how

just connecting a switch with VLANs to a uni network won't work

[pearl locust]

Basically just want to access the nfs share from both my pc and laptop

[peak cloak]

assuming your uni doens't have restrictions like 1 device per port, this would work with a dumb unmanaged switch

[pearl locust]

There's no restrictions

Currently the switch just hands all devices my same public ip, but does not allow me to access my share

[peak cloak]

all VLANs are tags onto packets telling what vlan a packet is part of. And a switch can untag or tag packets. Usually a basic setup would look like router -> switch, with a trunk port in. When people refer to VLANs they usually mean subnets + VLAN combined to create multiple networks

[peak cloak]

are you sure it's the same IP, that wouldn't make sense

[pearl locust]

Yeah, I'm sure

[peak cloak]

if it's true somehow, then yes there are restrictions

you would need a router in front of the switch to NAT it so it appears to the uni network that there's only one device connected

[pearl locust]

Still curious how all of my devices can have an internet connection simultaneously then

[peak cloak]

same, can you show ipconfig /all for the PC and Laptop

you can dm if you want

[pearl locust]

Yeah. I have class for an hour (starts in 20m), and I'm not there at the moment. I'll send a screenshot afterwards

[peak cloak]

how were you checking that the IPs were the same?

[pearl locust]

ip a and curl ifconfig.me both always returned the same ip for both

[peak cloak]

interesting

[pearl locust]

I just checked, and today it started returning different public ipv4 addresses

Before it wasn't though

shows same results if ifconfig is broken

no it doesn't

i love the GLInet beryl so fucking much

i received it yesterday and my original plan was to have it route ethernet to my pc through powerline and then have it create a localized 5 gzh wifi for my vr headset to do good wireless VR

what i DIDN'T know is that this sucker can do load balancing multi-WAN

so because i knew i was paying for more than the measely 60 mbps the powerline connection could deliver i connected the router to the main wifi and it TRIPLED my download speed

[inner cliff]

yea, I use the beryl as a travel router and it's really nice. If I have to pay for wifi I book with my phone, set the beryl to copy the phones mac and can use every device with my own wifi, also the build in adguard and vpn is really nice for traveling. set adguard to doh server and if sites aren't reachable (more comman than I tought) just activate the vpn.

But why do you use powerline? while it's "ok" it's speed wise one of the worst options. Would be better to get a decent wifi7 router for your internet connection and an other at your pc (like with the beryl)

Possibly dumb question: moved into a new apartment today, our PC’s and pretty much everything else tech are going in the basement. There’s a coax down there and another in the living room, and our PC’s need to be on Ethernet

So, modem upstairs: I have to run and cable manage two absurdly long Ethernet lines.

Or

Modem downstairs: the WiFi is terrible in the rest of the apartment. What do?

[peak cloak]

modem and router downstairs, run ethernet upstairs and put an access point

that's what I do

except most PCs are 2nd floor so I have ethernet runs to there

[teal forum]

We’ve got one of those two in one router/modems. Is that going to make much of a difference?

Oh never mind, I flipped what you said in my head.

[peak cloak]

for this, no, not really

I like the omada access points if you need some reccomendations on what to get

Yes please! Everywhere I’ve lived so far has been much smaller and much easier to network. This is all new to me.

yeah the omada wall mounted ones do, but their wifi range is smaller because of the antennae arrangement

meant for things hotel rooms

[topaz patrol]

I was thinking of APs like the EAP650 Desktop

The AP in the living room would really only need to feed our TV and maybe a laptop every once in a while, so I’m not too worried about range there.

https://www.tp-link.com/my/business-networking/omada-wifi-wall-plate/eap725-wall/ Oh wow ok

[peak cloak]

yeah

gets you good wifi on 1st floor

[teal forum]

Hell yeah. Thanks for the help!

[silk trench]

i cannot change my router and i wanted as stable a connection as humanly possible

[inner cliff]

while you can't change your router, you can still connect a different router to your router

[topaz patrol]

Powerline won't give you "as stable a connection as humanly possible"

Far from it

[silk trench]

i also bought the powerline way before the beryl as a last ditch attempt at not having to buy the beryl, since i hoped my motherboard's wifi chip could hotspot for my VR headset but that turned out to not be possible since the AX2000 has some odd bug that intel never resolved where it will not switch to 80 mhz bandwidth even though it supports 802 ax

[silk trench]

i mean as much as possible without having to drill ethernet through my walls, which i cannot do

[inner cliff]

a good wifi mesh network would be better than powerline

[silk trench]

yeah a good router could have done better but my pc is behind three walls from the coax wall and i didn't know how it would have fared

since i've had many headaches setting up meshes in my mom's house which has extremely thick armored concrete walls

[inner cliff]

you could try something like the TP-Link Deco XE75 with 3 devices

or do the same as me and get a drill, dill a hole close to the bottom of the wall just big enough for a network cable and crimp the other end yourself and if you move out just put some plaster in that hole and a bit paint on the plaster 😄

[topaz patrol]

Probably not an option for them 😉

[silk trench]

i mean it's not an option for me right now because my landlord would use my skin to repair the furniture if i started drilling the walls.

[topaz patrol]

Yeah

[inner cliff]

i also have steel reinforced walls, it's possible, it just takes a bit of luck, it's not solid steel

[topaz patrol]

It's not an option for the majority of people

[silk trench]

ironically my mom's house has decent ethernet routing but it's in the middle of nowhere so she only gets 50 megabits

[topaz patrol]

They don't own the house :)

[inner cliff]

i also don't own the house

[silk trench]

eh i'm happy with this solution tbh, it does what i want. maybe i'll try running wireless repeater only and see what speed i get.

[clear igloo]

If you have coax (I think you mentioned that) you could do MoCA

but honestly if the setup works now I wouldn't touch a repeater, it can only repeat the signal it gets so crap repeats crap 🙂

[silk trench]

i could if i had coax coing anywhere else in the house

[clear igloo]

Ah gotcha, yah that makes it difficult

[silk trench]

i mean it might do that, i don't know because it wasn't renovated very well and even the cable that goes to the cabinet was buried inside the walls

ISP had to come drill it out and properly install it when i moved in

[clear igloo]

ooof, yah that definitely doesn't give hope for it being reachable inside the walls, lol

[worldly nacelle]

Anyone have any experience with TP link routers? Lookin at getting one for wireless VR with my computer and there are two on sale right now, but I don't know which one is better to be honest. It's like they have tiiiiny differences but different product names.

AX23 vs AX10

https://www.tp-link.com/cz/compare/?typeId=9&productIds=50001%2C41794%2C35180

Like the differences seem so small that i'm considering the AX23 simply just cause the shipping and delivery is more convenient, but idk if i'm missing something here

Hi guys I recently got some moca adapters and I am struggling getting the full gigabit speeds through them, sometimes they work perfectly in both directions but seemingly randomly the speeds drop. This is what iperf looks like when the speeds drop. The "server: for iperf is a raspberry pi 5

[somber island]

hey guys! does anyone know of a decent 2.5 gb input and 4 1 gb output ethernet switch? My bugdet is around 30 USD. I have found (not bought) a good 5 1gb port switch, so does having a faster input actually make a difference in terms of speed/latency when 3-4 devices are connected?

[clear igloo]

If the devices aren't going out to the internet then no
A 5 port gigabit switch can do gigabit between the devices (10gbit backplane) but if you need all 3 or 4 to hig the internet at gigabit each then you'll want a faster uplink

[peak cloak]

why 2.5 gig input, do you have a 2.5 gig internet connection

[somber island]

yeah, just dont wanna spend too much on a 2.5gb switch

[somber island]

so by uplink, you mean connection to modem? I have Fiber to the Home

[clear igloo]

So basically each port has 1gigabit upload and 1gigabit download
So long as you don't want more than a total of 1gig up/down split across X hosts then you're fine

But host talking to host wouldn't hit the uplink since they're on the same network so it doesn't use the uplink for that communication

[somber island]

Got it, thanks

[clear igloo]

If you want to play with a bit more speed then there is this for $43

or $50 for this one:

[somber island]

Thank yall!

[plain siren]

Every time I see this companies name I double take

[pseudo blade]

It is a truly unfortunate name

[plain siren]

If you.. "misspell" it in google its like "Found nothing" but in duck duck go, it knows exactly what you are looking for lol
