It costs around 15€ in France
It was the cheapest I found if I remember
Found a bit cheaper
And this one has a light for every port on the front
rocky badge
Lol
warped mountain
Should be good enough I think
rocky badge
Yeah
warped mountain
Now the hard part
Buying it now or waiting for my birthday for my friends to buy me one

hey @warped mountain
you want that DLink 5port?
I can get you a $15 amazon card on me
warped mountain
Wut
I'm gonna buy it myself
I need it for the next university year
I'll be able to store my Git projects locally
warped mountain
Also storing a shit ton of university assignement/projects on my local server
So syncing between my desktop and my laptop will be easier
loud lance
Ah, just wondering cause you said you were waiting for your friends to buy you one. 😛
warped mountain
Yup I'm a cheap bastard
Always going on the cheap and trying to save money on everything
So if my friends can gift me that 15€ switch, that's a great thing for me

Coming next week to a convention in Baltimore near you:
I think we're pretty set to light the place up with as much WiFi as we need.

Well...it could if I hooked up the Cancer Stick™
The instructions said to not turn it on within 30 feet of people. We were used to consumer gear getting overly cautious with the warnings. We now heed those warnings.

"Nasdaq recently informed customers that the high humidity caused by the recent heatwave in the New York City area was slowing down radio transmissions between three New Jersey data centres, leading to slower trading. Transmission between Nasdaq’s facility in Carteret to the New York Stock Exchange data centre in Mahwah was 8ms longer, and it was 2ms longer to the Cboe Global Market’s exchange in Secaucus."

@vital badger Its only ISP that has reasonable price, I have 10mbps download and 1 mbps upload, other one is charging $60 per month for that speed, while this one is $25. They allow PFSense routers and server hosting, I can add $20 additionally and get static IP and build custom DNS server if I want to
@vital badger and PFSense router
cause the current one is really shitty

In France, fiber (to the home) 500/200 (at min, most of the time 900/300) at 50€ with Orange, dynamic IP (static IP is an option at 18€/mo. and only available if you don't have a mobile plan linked to your internet plan)

And also, this includes TV (160 channels), phone (unlimited, to +100 destinations) and free fiber + router installation by their technicians.
If you understand a bit of french : https://boutique.orange.fr/internet/offres-fibre/jet
And yeah, we have TV over Internet with special receivers, included with the internet plan, which are compatible with UHD and HDR (even with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) and you can have 2 receivers for free with the highest plan.

Hey guys I am looking for help with getting better performance out of my PfSense setup. I think I am down to needing to replace my nic, but before I went that route I though I would ask around about best performance setups. currently I am getting about 4 to 5 gig using ipref at home and I took the box to my work where they used some fancy testing equipment to test through put on fiber switches with about the same results. It always seems to only use about 25% of the CPU.
hollow helm
Ordering a router through a maybe-dodgy site cause it was £100 cheaper 😛
hope It all goes ok
Paid with paypal though so can get my money back worst case
nocturne harness
@chrome hound 4 to 5 Gb/s doing what? What kind of NIC do you have?
rocky badge
Probably a 10Gigabit NIC or multiple Gb NICs
chrome hound
in the PfSense on Intel 560? dual port SPF+ the servers are Molex with one matching Intel dual port nic, my desktop is also running a Molex single port SPF+ with a X670-48x as my switch. in ipref I can get 9 ish gigs between two systems, so I am pretty sure its not the switch.
sorry they are the 540 Intel cards, which is why I was wondering if I needed to get a Chelsio I have seen those recommended, and netgate sells them as there supported card.

I’m getting fibre at the end of this year tho
Our prime minister doesn’t give about our failed fibre internet
subtle glen
the main isp's here dont care too, there is a 3rd party company that is trying to cover all the houses with ftth (this company works with the power one so that they can use the existing conduits, substations etc to put fiber )
pulsar thorn
Our fibre company has just been literally ripping up paths to install it
When there are already phone lines in

underground or aerial
subtle glen
maybe the conduits were full of copper cables

@chrome hound nice, never heard of that ISP. Is it like a local ISP?
chrome hound
well technically they are not open to the public for service, I work for them so I can get attached in
rocky badge
Ah, makes sense
subtle glen
if you have ftth but its only 100mbps, the problem for that could be the fiber rack in the street that is outdated right?
chrome hound
they just provide FTTH and then they have a reange of ISP they can delivery too
we have a lot of customers that only pay for 100mp
pulsar thorn
Ye
rocky badge
Or the ISP only allows you to have 100Mbps
pulsar thorn
Ye
chrome hound
its going to come down to the optics in use and the ONT
rocky badge
having FTTH doesn't mean automatic gigabit
rocky badge
It's just the way of getting a connection to your router
chrome hound
when I first moved into this house the ONT was an older allied that only have 100mb Optics
I upgraded to a Zone which let me move to 1g then when I got hired on at Utopia I upgraded to 10g
pulsar thorn
rocky badge
Like DC3.0 can do gigabit down and 200Mbps up
chrome hound
all on the same fiber cable
rocky badge
But that doesn't mean ISPs will give you gigabit and 200Mbps

@chrome hound lol nice

those seems pumps

@chrome hound lol I know pfsense can handle 10 gigabit

Oh yeah, those are little ones

@gentle sirenWooooo

humm

@gentle siren didn't know toshiba makes motors btw
chrome hound
so that does kind of support my suspision of hte nic
rocky badge
Hmm
gentle siren
Oh yeah, we tried them for a bit after Westinghouse screwed us over because they spec'd the wrong lubricant and we ended burning up 3 of their pumps
gentle siren
Hmm, I think around $180k
gentle siren
Actually no idea. My job was to make them usable from across the internet
subtle glen
oh oke
gentle siren
And the hardest rule to get across to everyone was that there would be no PLCs connected directly to the internet
subtle glen
btw what was that setup for
gentle siren
We had them connected to our HMI, had those talk to the oil field server, have that go through a nice firewall, and only then would things hit the internet.
chrome hound
@rocky badge when I was first trying to see if the switch would support a full 10g I was using two of the intel 540's between two r710 and was hitting 9gb pretty solid
gentle siren
Was so hard to get across to everyone, especially Rockwell.
subtle glen
lol
subtle glen
so thats a pump for oil?
gentle siren
Oh, that was for a salt water disposal.
subtle glen
oh ok
chrome hound
must be a driver issues in BSD
rocky badge
Was that r710 to r710?
chrome hound
yea
subtle glen
cool stuff tho
rocky badge
What OS were they running?
gentle siren
Meant that I got to live in a hotel for 3 months
chrome hound
at that time I had them baremetal installed windows 2012 and ubuntu
rocky badge
Side note, Discord won't load over Verizon lol.
gentle siren
A very shitty hotel
rocky badge
@chrome hound hmm
chrome hound
I have since converted them to proxmox and run a 3 cluster
gentle siren
...ended up using the cancer stick to steal internet from the police station next door..
rocky badge
Proxmox...
subtle glen
LOL
subtle glen
"fbi open up"
gentle siren
Note: They let me do it, and the Cancer Stick™ was installed on their roof as an AP
I used a LiteBeam to connect to that from my hotel room
subtle glen
the cancerstick never dies
rocky badge
You didn't do it correctly
gentle siren
And then I managed to sell that hotel on FiberLight, set up their new routing networks and APs on a weekend and made a bit of money
subtle glen
nah
chrome hound
I started with esxi it was good, but you really need to tools to and paid lic to make it easy, I just don't have the patience for it proxmox, while not preffect is pretty set it and for get it 😄
gentle siren
If it'd been a local hotel, I'd have probably done the work for free because, you know, I was staying there. But it was corporate, so they have corporate money and I took it.
I did give them an hourly rate discount
subtle glen
lol
rocky badge
@chrome hound ah
gentle siren
But yeah, that hotel has a Cisco router, some UBNT PoE switches, and UBNT Pro APs
(And a VPN server that I totally don't still have access credentials for coughcough)
subtle glen
ive been in a nice hotel in spain that had a network rack/ubiquiti Ap's etc
and while staying there, internet went down for days

@chrome hound you could always use Windows server... Jk jk

I'm using ESXi and Workstation 14

this admin messed up a netapp by re-configing it to be native for Hypervisor
systems would just stop and loss luns 3 or 4 times a day
rocky badge
Lol
chrome hound
good for me though, they tossed the netapp out 😄
rocky badge
Use RRAS as a router....jk jk

That seems like a way to put yourself through more pain than needed

chrome hound
but in her case its, baby this will improve your Guildswars play experinace 😄
rocky badge
😄
chrome hound
ok so I think I am going to buy a new nic, but the question is, netgate recommended chilso or a better intel?
rocky badge
Hmm
chrome hound
and I jsut found my next hobby 😄 >> https://support.speedtest.net/hc/en-us/articles/203845650-How-can-I-host-a-server-on-Speedtest-net-
rocky badge
Yeah you can do that
chrome hound
no more of this having to go 150 miles away to get a speed test
rocky badge
They require gigabit up and down
10 gigabit recommend
If you run a speedtest on the same network as a speedtest server you'll get the speed between you and the server
So if you run a speedtest on a gigabit internet but 10 Gigabit locally and there's a speedtest server on the same network you'll get results of 10 Gigabit lol
chrome hound
well part of my slow speed results is the NNI I route through to get to that speed testr server is a bonded 10G so I am never going to see 10g results until they upgrade the datacenter cross connects to 100gb
but I know for sure my PfSense is a bottle neck, I took it to work and let them setup a speed trhough put test on it with there equipment and it topped out at 6 gb
rocky badge
Hmm
chrome hound
tbh ahving 10gb to my desktop is more just for fun than anything I will even need, but it has been nice not having those random game drops when the next kids starts streaming something 😄

So, I have an Archer C9 and for some reason for the past few days it randomly need to be reset to work properly. Randomly the net will stop working for a few minutes to an hour unless I reset it, and it's not like I'm doing huge dls either just browsing the web and playing arena shooters like unreal and quake champions

I'd recommend getting a new router

that's what I was thinking of doing if there's no firmware upgrade. I love the archer c9, but this is getting annoying. <.<

lmao @subtle glen
rocky badge
@strong tusk max you're willing to spend on a new router?
strong tusk
Would prefer under 100, but I might shift some budget and go as high as 140-200
clear igloo
Is it just wireless that stops working or all of it?
rocky badge
ER-Lite 3 and an AP is what I'd recommend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HXT8EKE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_3xJuBbCGAR8G8
strong tusk
Well, it also might not purely be the router tbh. I have xfinity/comcast and we had a huge outage across the country and then a couple of small ones over the past 2 weeks. The router doing it only started yesterday and happened like 10 minutes again today. And, not it's not the wifi its wired too.
strong tusk
I'm also on the latest firmware which is Archer C9(US)_V1_180125
rocky badge
That'll only give you 2 ports after the AP though
strong tusk
I know my brother in law has one as you mentioned I can just get more through a switch.
rocky badge
Ye
clear igloo
Yah, switch will work for more ports 😃
strong tusk
I might also talk to tplink cuz I might also be in warranty still
prolly not cuz like I bought it in 2015
strong tusk
Well, I mean I do have a network switch where my networking stuff is, so I don't need to buy one
I have the netgear one you bought like a week or 2 ago

Ok

the GS105NA

Ah, so the unmanaged version of my switch. Yeah I like that switch

Hey guys, I upgraded my internet and have started using Ethernet, I used to have 50mbps download/upload and now i have 150mbps(with Ethernet).
There is no difference but I have 150
please help
clear igloo
Difference in what?
clear igloo
How are you testing?
clear igloo
And does it show the new speed or does it show 50?
azure ravine
the new speed
clear igloo
Pages aren't always going to load faster with faster speed, that's mostly down to latency and responsiveness of the end server to your request
clear igloo
downloads, streaming, multi-users, etc
mild blade
those speeds are good for streaming 4k, really
really good jitter too
well, 4k compressed like over youtube
clear igloo
Some things, like images, might load faster but if you had pretty good latency before you and you've still got about the same amount of latency it won't feel faster
mild blade
bandwidth on your end like that usually makes the other end the bottleneck, depending on what's over there
clear igloo
Depends highly on the area
azure ravine
oh
clear igloo
There are a lot of places with 25Mbps or much less
mild blade
yeah if you're unlucky to just happen to live in a not good area, too bad
mild blade
but your speeds are, compared to the majority in the US, excellent
especially with that jitter
that's a good-ass jitter
clear igloo
There are a few towns with 10Gbe but I don't think anyone really has a subscription for that
azure ravine
what is jitter(sorry i dont know much about internet speeds)
clear igloo
Maybe a handful of people since it's usually a few hundred a month
mild blade
I think there's a single doctor or professor somewhere who has a dedicted 100Gb connection but because he simulates and generates terabytes of data from tests daily
azure ravine
lol
mild blade
but yeah the major cities have been finally starting to get ~100-300Mbps
since the Spectrum merge, they've drastically improved performance in my area
which is super counter-intuitive to how I would have felt about them doing anything in the last decade
clear igloo
Yah, they are supposed to be rolling out DOCSIS 3.1 to more places over the next year and enabling gigabit (download)
clear igloo
But only 40 up 😛
mild blade
is that a DOCSIS limitation?
clear igloo
Sort of
mild blade
I know it prioritizes down over up, don't know the numbers off the top of my head though
clear igloo
It has to do with allocation of spectrum to download and upload and in most cases more bandwidth is download anyway so the allocate more to that
There are symmetrical DOCSIS 3.x standards but the spectrum of channels for upload speed has to be changed I think
And that's limited in a lot of places by older cables
@azure ravine Jitter is a measurement of how much delay varies over time
mild blade
I'm just excited for the day when fiber is the normal
AT&T has been rolling that out around me too
mild blade
that's 
we pay like $45 promotional price for 100Mb down
$65 is the option for 300Mb down
clear igloo
Yah, I had the gig plan with Spectrum for about 3 months
It was $139/month
The moment I heard AT&T was available I dropped them in a second
clear igloo
They were pretty good to me but when I could have more for less, I didn't have to think about it, lol
mild blade
yeah
rocky badge
@clear igloo I thought DC3.1 could do at least gigabit up
@mild blade I have Spectrum and they're decent...
clear igloo
DC3.1 can do 10/1
rocky badge
Yeah
clear igloo
or 10/2 depending on who you ask, lol
clear igloo
Bad @rocky badge stop stealing the wee fee
subtle glen
i would not connect to it
rocky badge
@clear igloo weeee fee!
subtle glen
free wai fai
rocky badge
Free scam-fi
rocky badge
@clear igloo would you use public WiFi without a VPN?
clear igloo
LOL
Might as well type my credit card numbers in bold numbers and print it out at a free printer too
mild blade
that's just asking for someone to sniff your packets
I mean, if it's over HTTPS then you're most likely safe, but still not good practice
rocky badge
Lol
subtle glen
👃 🐽
mild blade
anyone sniffing would still be able to see the encrypted header and body and source/destination
subtle glen
i just watched videos of hackers deleting scammers pc sys 32 folders etc and i feel like i have to buy a watchguard firewall
rocky badge
@mild blade all of my sites use HTTPS, most use HSTS as well
mild blade
considering it's now free to get trusted certs for HTTPS, there's literally no excuse for anyone to ever not use it
rocky badge
Yeah
rocky badge
Let's Encrypt on main and Cloudflare on the rest
rocky badge
@subtle glen to get info about you
subtle glen
lol
wish my connection was fast enough for a vpn
there is a vpn feature integrated in my phone that i cant use
strong tusk
@rocky badge turns out there was an outage yesterday in my area that kicked me offline they just fixed it right away hence why I thought it was the router, but the tplink agent is just making sure "just incase" that my equipment is fine.
clear igloo
lol
subtle glen
@clear igloo the cisco forum is a bad place
strong tusk
So, he said basically the equipment is fine it was probably just a random hiccup today and yesterday was just an outage. So, I'm probably fine.
subtle glen
8K
strong tusk
So, I guess there's no need to buy new equipment.
strong tusk
True, but I'd rather get the 1950x then new networking equipment
rocky badge
Lol
strong tusk
to be fair, I probably caused one of the outages. Remember, I was watching 8k vids.

Does anyone use Ubiquity EdgeRouters for site to site VPN? I need help with my config.
subtle glen
There is a storm here, wish I had a surge protector 🙃
subtle glen
Mmmm
Surge
Cause yknow, I dont want to have 10 burned pc's/ a burned tv, burned routers etc
Planning to go overkill
strong tusk
@subtle glen No, this
vital badger
We still have that here
loud lance
anyone know that data realtime replication linus uses?
subtle glen
@strong tusk mmmmmmm surge
tasty surge
we dont have it in italy
we dont even have mountain dew
clear igloo
@loud lance He posted it on the forums not too long ago, on the last server room thing a couple months ago
I personally use MirrorFolder on my computers to the NAS and then CrashPlan from NAS to cloud
loud lance
shit
slow pivot
RIP crashplan 😦
clear igloo
@slow pivot How is it rip?
slow pivot
Their personal service is terminating as of the end of this or next year
Commercial offerings are still going to be available
slow pivot
I was debating that. But i might go with backblaze
rocky badge
I use FBackup and Macrium Reflect, Reflect is just imaging though.
rocky badge
Lol
clear igloo
Yah, I stuck with CrashPlan because moving 4TB of information is a pain
rocky badge
Not for you...
clear igloo
And I can use a VM to backup my NAS with crashplan since they don't do headless clients anymore
rocky badge
You have 10 gigabit locally and gigabit internet
clear igloo
Plus I have all my versioning backed up on CrashPlan
slow pivot
is currently using urbackup
rocky badge
is currently using nobackup
slow pivot
no, literally urbackup is an oss backup client/server solution 😃
It's not bad, only issue is the offsite backups
high anchor
Do rsync is an option ?
rocky badge
@slow pivot I don't use any backup lol
slow pivot
eeeeh, urbackup uses hardlinks for files that haven't changed, and takes advantage of btrfs's de-duping, so unrolling a backup offsite with rsync is not realistic
@rocky badge You're gonna cry at some point because of that 😛
slow pivot
Why's that?
rocky badge
Any important data that's mine is on in OneDrive
But my parents have 500GB of photos
slow pivot
ahhh, gotchya, well that's sorta a backup
rocky badge
At home
slow pivot
it is at least resilient to local computer failures
rocky badge
There's no backup to that, my parents photos
slow pivot
Are you the IT "specialist" at home? If so, it will become your problem when they lose the disk that data is on 😛
rocky badge
Somewhat lol
The photo share is mapped to all of the PCs
So it's always the X drive
The data drive for documents is Z
slow pivot
Ahh, so /multiple/ ways things can be deleted, excellent, excellent.
slow pivot
even over the share?
rocky badge
Yes
slow pivot
cool. Well I hope that doesn't go south 😃
rocky badge
Lol
User profiles aren't on each PC
So the drives in the PC can die and user profiles are safe
slow pivot
Safe on your single server that is backed up, right? 😛

It'll last longer than my phone lol

what router @rocky badge ?

@clear igloo @waxen scroll https://twitter.com/LinusTech/status/1021520318609780736
Lol everyone is talking about no Ipv6
rocky badge
They're using Windows Server 2012 R2 for DHCP and AD, IPv6 screws up AD sometimes
Depends on how you have your DNS records setup
clear igloo
Ah, interesting
waxen scroll
that reminds me
i was going to ask an architect if we're even going to try to put that in
so i can steal the project
rocky badge
😄
clear igloo
NAT harder!
rocky badge
My school uses 10.0.0.0/8 and they're using I'd say 15% of the hosts
waxen scroll
i have 8000 buildings, many data centers, and cloud
clear igloo
@waxen scroll Just use 8.0.0.0/4
rocky badge
XD
waxen scroll
meh
clear igloo
We've got a project now to look at doing IPv6 for all VoIP phones xD
waxen scroll
🤔
that might be an idea but you still probably need full ipv6 support in the head end
thats where im going to run into issues at my job
clear igloo
Yah
waxen scroll
tons of IT people and managers going "but it works today, why would we change it?"
2 jobs ago i came close to getting it done because all the engineers agreed we should pilot and roll it out
except 1 asshole
clear igloo
lol, there's always 1
waxen scroll
wanted nothing to do with it and he was an architect who could block it
im trying to get hired back there but the manager of the team i need to be on is ignoring me lol
hard to tell if hes just being himself or ignoring me because hes salty
clear igloo
Maybe he's trying to speak to you in IPv6 😄
waxen scroll
i'd take a small pay cut to work there again
clear igloo
Sounds like you really enjoyed it
