Hey i have a quick question for someone who is more knowledgeable. In this pic we have default and dedicated vCPUs. Does the default setting mean i share/get queued for resources VS dedicated vCPU where i get full access to the vCPUs for myself. Just a lil confused as I thought i would get my own CPU Thank you for the help!!
vapid dune
that's usually what that means
I mean it's virtual in the sense that there might be hyperthreading and what not
cunning jasper
would both 16 vCPU plans for default and dedicated plans produce the same amount of "power"? Just that the dedicated vCPU would start working immediately vs the default plan I would have to wait for space to open up for my services to start working? @vapid dune
vapid dune
I think it's usually fair use CPU vs dedicated
you don't need to "wait" just not abuse it
I would say if you need a lot of CPU then it's best to get dedicated
thorny vector
Its a little more complicated than that. When allocating vCPU's, it basically says "Hey VM, you can get in the queue of this many cores to get work done". When they're dedicated, they get a fast pass to the front instead
But if you are trying to get the most compute out of your cloud instance, dedicated is better.
cunning jasper
Hetzner is the VPS service i want to use if you want to see exactly what its about. I have a very heavy CPU intensive work that needs to be running for long periods of time. Obviously dedicated is better for me than shared, i was confused on the marketing for the website as it states both vCPUs for both type of plans.
Ill start on the shared (default) plans for now to test out the company and how itll function before i go dedicated. 
thorny vector
I've never messed about with cloud services, I have an aversion to SaaS as a general rule.
But networking, I can assist with.

(Pls ping me, I'm barely active here)
vapid dune
yes @hardy kestrel
you can just run the controller on your computer for initial setup. assuming you just want to use it as a bare AP
also you might want to check which AP Pro it is
there's an older and a "newer"
I believe it's uap-pro vs ap-ac-pro
thorny vector
What does your VPN setup look like?
rocky badge
@hardy kestrel You can run without a controller, standalone AP mode via the mobile app.
If you want a desktop web GUI use the controller software for Linux/Windows/MacOS.
proven fiber
I have question. Could I directly connect synology NAS to Mac Pro or PC using 10Gb cable #networking Did anyone try it? I searched online. I didn’t find straight answer in there. An advise is much appreciated.
thorny vector
@proven fiber You’re talking about copper cable with rj45 connectors?
Then yeah. Don’t expect 10Gbe speed though unless both ends are 10Gbe capable
proven fiber
@thorny vector yes. Both have 10Gb connection. But the issue is that it is possible to plug and play in case of synology 1618+?
thorny vector
I don’t see why not. Are you talking about how the NAS won’t have a dhcp assigned address?
proven fiber
@thorny vector yes. Does it have to have dhcp address if I connect it to computer? Currently, I have NAS connected to the 1gb switch and has dedicated IP. I don’t have 10Gb switch. If I could bypass it and directly connect of Mac Pro and just use it as external hard using network cable.
thorny vector
It has to have an address so your Mac knows how to talk to it. You have 2 options, either run a dhcp server off your 10Gbe interface, or static assign the NAS an address on the switch, then switch it to the dedicated connection
proven fiber
@thorny vector do you mean run dhcp server from synology NAS? The NAS has dedicated static IP address.
So I could just connect it to Mac Pro without doing anything?
thorny vector
Then just change the static ip on the NAS to one in another subnet, make the 10Gbe a static address in the same subnet and you’re good. Don’t use the same subnet as the rest of your network, you’ll just end up causing a whole host of issues
proven fiber
@thorny vector thank you so much. I will search online how to do it. If I run into any issues, I will get back to you. Much appreciated.
thorny vector
No problem

Do you guys know if a powerline adapter is better than a Wifi-Repeater?
I live in Germany and My Router is in my basement, when I was young I've decided to buy a Powerline adapter so that it can reach my room on the top floor. Now the problem i've encountered over the years is that our Wifi seems to suck with speeds in some areas and sometimes it just decides to not work for some time so i have to plug it out and in again.
Anyone know what problem causes this?
craggy parcel
That WiFi behaviour is most likely caused by a bad router or interference.
thick minnow
hmm, well I don't think my router is that bad, it's a FRITZ!Box Router (German Router, according to reviews pretty ok)
do you think it might be my powerline instead? (Devolo dLan 500)
Also what do you mean with Interference, you mean the Channels they run on or???
steady creek
You can test that by plugging directly into your power line.
Power lines are as "bad" as wifi when it comes to inconsistency in different homes. A lot of times they can be great but depending on your wiring that may not be the case
I used power line adapters in the past with decent success in terms of throughout but very poor success in terms of latency/consistency. They work in some installations and not in others unfortunately
thick minnow
hmm okay, well I know that Wifi Signals like to go sideways and down, not up. that explains why i kinda need my powerline adapter, but i wonder if i have a longer cable coming from my Modem to my router and place my router in my room if that's gonna improve stuff.
Do you guys know if that's worth trying or if i should rather just keep to my current setup?
steady creek
I would try to test before you commit to moving things around a lot. General rule of thumb is hard wiring Ethernet is going to be more reliable/consistent and have higher throughout than wireless. And direct Ethernet will outperform powerline ethernet
But if you can at least isolate which component is the bottleneck (AP or powerline adapter) you can at least consider your options

stray stone
i have a question. I want to get a wifi signal booster to my bedroom, since the connection in here sucks and constantly disconnects. I have a 100ft cat6 cable going into here for my pc, i want to get full speed on my pcs ethernet but have like a wired access point as well, if i use 100ft -> switch -> pc (and also switch -> access point) will it work fine or would that slow my connection or anything? im not good at networking at all lol
vapid dune
I mean it would "slow down" in the sense that if you needed full gigabit on both your pc and the ap it would be bottlenecked
but realistically it's fine
stray stone
i dont get gigabit anyway, i get about 700 down on ethernet, and it would just be used for my steamlink and phone
only asking because i dont know anything about it if it would mess it up lol
vapid dune
I mean gigabit to another computer in your house
but either way probably fine if you don't need max speed everywhere at all times
stray stone
like this
i do not need max speed on devices, just on the pc
or if there are better options at this price
vapid dune
I just mean you're planning on getting it wired anyhow
so the extender part of the thing isn't being used
fresh copper
You just need a wireless access point
stray stone
but i get no signal in my room where im at
vapid dune
yes I'm saying just buy an AP
fresh copper
an extender is used when you are not wiring it up, an access point is used when you are
stray stone
yeah but would the access point be able to get a good signal?
stray stone
huh
stray stone
yeah
vapid dune
no problem in that case, just get something like ubiquiti ap-ac-lite
stray stone
thats $80 
vapid dune
huh? the extender you pasted was like 110
stray stone
wait what
OH GOD
the n300
the last option for "model"
the amazon link doesnt choose it automatically
🙃
lmaoo
stray stone
is there any for anything under like $35ish that is good?
fresh copper
An extender takes an existing wifi signal and rebroadcasts it. Since you are putting in the switch, you don't need to worry about receiving the existing signal since it can connect to the network through the wired network like your PC. Thus, you only need an AP, not an extender.
A note about the speeds, you really don't want one that does not say ac in the name. It is slower (n300 means 300mbps max and that's not even to a single device, that's overall), but they also can only use 2.5ghz and are therefore subject to congestion, and because they use an older protocol, they can even make other routers on the same channel slower.
vapid dune
I mean the extender can be plugged in too
in which case it's just an AP
the one you chose: "Interface 1 x 10/100M Ethernet Port (RJ45)"
vapid dune
I wouldn't choose one that only does 2.4Ghz
stray stone
ok
vapid dune
I agree that an extender normally is used to wirelessly extend a network
but some of them do have an ethernet port, in which case it's just an access point
best to use 5Ghz if your devices support it. and most do in this day and age
fresh copper
Most of the time, that port is meant to be used only for providing a network connection from the extender, not actually giving the extender a network but it probably could work the other way around. I've never done it because there is no point getting an extender if you don't need an extender
stray stone
im not sure what its called
i thought it was just access point
just this one was the cheapest i could find and in description it said it can be used as an access point
but if its slow then ill get an actual one
since that one was technically an "extender"
vapid dune
I mean the one you pasted does operate in AP mode it says
stray stone
just trying to get better signal in my room, and i have ethernet routed to my room anyway so i was going to go wired for better signal on it
hence the switch
vapid dune
I mean you're probably wanting it for your phone or something?
stray stone
phone and steamlink so i still want to try and get decent speeds
stray stone
but i get no connection on my phone anyway
so i figured it would be best to do this anyway
vapid dune
yup so mainly the phone
stray stone
i mostly use steamlink as a multimedia device for kodi and stuff, so the latency doesnt bother me
since tv is not smart
vapid dune
wired is better for steamlink since you don't get any wireless problems
I've used it for a long long time wired to watch movies and what not
on my tv downstairs
stray stone
so maybe switch going out to pc, steamlink, and the AP for phone
vapid dune
yeah
stray stone
okay sounds good
is there any good cheap APs i dont need gigabit for my phone just something that will get decent speeds
vapid dune
I mean if you don't care about speed on your phone. you can pick up a cheap AP on amazon that's wired. if it's crappy return it to amazon LOL
I don't really trust wireless quality on cheap APs. but then again I want like best possible wireless experience. I used to play a lot of clash royale and it would bug me if it ever dropped or lagged
but that's a personal thing
@fresh copper is also right about the ethernet port on those tp-link extenders. some of them are marked "range extender" only and some are "range extender / access point"
trail canopy
We pay for 50 Download and 25 Upload, this is what comes out
stray stone
looking at amazon i think ill just go with the cheap 2.4 for now, im just looking to watch youtube and stuff for my phone at least, if i ever need anything else wireless ill probably upgrade but all the 5ghz ones are at least $60 or more looks like.
Thanks for all the help 🙂
vapid dune
@stray stone one option you could also do is to research and get a router. and use that as the switch AND ap. (just not as a router)
could also just find used stuff on craigslist lol
personally I'd have gotten a proper AP and centrally mounted it ;p fixing wireless for everyone
stray stone
i did think about that, but for the price im looking at almost all of the routers had a similar 10/100 ethernet ports
and if i used that as switch and AP my PC would only get 100
vapid dune
oh yeah definitely aim for gigabit and 5Ghz if you can help it lol
stray stone
cheapest one seems to be netgear ac1200
has gigabit ports but its $47
you think i should go for that actually instead?
it would only be like $7 more than my other setup
vapid dune
probably best to compare the wireless part of it with reviews. but maybe? also there will likely be a bit more configuration changes needed but it should be straight forward
in all likelihood either option should at least do the job of what you need for your budget. given that it's just in your room
just gotta turn down the radios and pick channels as to not interfere as much as possible
stray stone
So if i buy this and plug my PC into it i wont get bottlenecking right?
besides like other devices connected to it, just in general it should be same speed right
stray stone
ok this review backs it up
ill go with this. 🙂
includes ethernet cable too and i have 1 extra lying around, meaning i can hardwire my steam link and PC without having to buy cables, so its actually the exact same price as my other setup (switch, ap, and cables)
fresh copper
Most of the time, if you just plug a cable into the switch rather than the internet port, it will just work but then you won't be able to configure it like changing the network name and password

vapid dune
I mean what do they call gigabit?
jagged blade
150 more
south blade
Your friend not messing with you and limit your speeds for only your PC in QoS on the router or something? xD
vapid dune
I would try running iperf3 between two devices locally
maybe it's just driver problems on your computer
jagged blade
dummy that for me lol
vapid dune
did you read the article?
jagged blade
no lol
cedar igloo
its command based
vapid dune
it's in the article above
there's two commands you run. one on each computer
and it just tests between the two of them
south blade
I'd be the same as him, isn't there like a batch file to atleast start it up with the proper commands? xD
vapid dune
I mean that's why I pasted the article
it literally has step by step instructions
it's probably a driver issue if anything. but it might also be nothing
jagged blade
like i said im not running slow on my pc or anything jus dont understand the speed differnce when my pc parts blow his out the water
charred meadow
On your computer:
iperf.exe -s
On your roomate's computer:
iperf.exe -c ipOfYourComputer
Make sure you run these from the directory where you have the iperf exe.
south blade
BIG missing instructions is how to use cmd to navigate to the directory to run those commands, not everyone knows this. xD
jagged blade
so run those in cmd?
vapid dune
it's in the article
vapid dune
that's true
you can just type cmd.exe in the url bar in the folder where the exe is located
charred meadow
In the folder where you put the exe do this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alexander-Cairns/Builder-Presentation/master/media/win-10-powershell.gif?token=AGJK7TG65A77HS7EFD46WJ264ZMZY
south blade
OH SHIT, you can do that? @vapid dune
vapid dune
or you can type "powershell" that works too as per @charred meadow
south blade
WOW, I learned something new 😄
charred meadow
It so usefull
vapid dune
I think I'm just used to pressing the windows key and typing cmd and hitting enter
south blade
Yeah, so this is easy then
vapid dune
or windows + R
south blade
That's the way I always did it
then cd to wherever
@jagged blade You got iperf downloaded to both your PC and roommates?
Now I wanna see what he gets, just out of curiosity lol
vapid dune
I mean you can test between any two wired devices. if you've got a laptop or something too
jagged blade
no jus to desktops
south blade
YOU have two desktops? Or you mean including the roommates it's 2?
vapid dune
lol you don't have two desktops?
jagged blade
mine and his are 2 lol
south blade
I've got this old thing, other PC, that's basically a coaster, POS can barely run Linux. Don't know what to do with it.
jagged blade
sell it? lol
south blade
I feel like someone buying it won't know what they're getting, I'll feel like I'm cheating them, when it's them thinking they were getting more, LOL
jagged blade
well it depends on ur price lol
glass raptor
I've got this old thing, other PC, that's basically a coaster, POS can barely run Linux. Don't know what to do with it.
@south blade install windows posready 2009?
vapid dune
I mean if you run linux that's minimal and non graphical
it should be fine
not saying it's useful mind you
south blade
What's the lightest of the light weight Linux distros that looks modern enough to sell this thing for like $30.
vapid dune
if it's that old, you probably can't even sell it on ebay
glass raptor
What's the lightest of the light weight Linux distros that looks modern enough to sell this thing for like $30.
@south blade do you know what "specs" it has?
south blade
Don't judge me! It wasn't mine, eMachines EL1210. xD Sticker on it says 2008.
south blade
AMD Athlon LE 1620 2.4GHz Processor
1024KB L2 Cache, 2000MHz FSB
2048MB DDR2 RAM 800MHz (PC2-6400), Max - 4GB
160GB SATA II (7200RPM, 8MB Cache) Hard Drive
vapid dune
south blade
LOL, family member asked me to take "a few" pictures off of it, 90GB of videos and pictures later....they never showed up so I moved their shit only my own external HDD and erased the POS.
glass raptor
could be enough for windows 8.1
south blade
That Windows POS Ready 2009, it light weight? Could work on this POS? xD
glass raptor
well, it is designed for POS systems, lemme see my vm of it
vapid dune
piece of sh...
glass raptor
here is an example of the logon screen
south blade
I've got a monitor somewhere in the garage that could possibly still work, and a keyboard...maybe I can find someone that wants it for like $35
Should be able to work for Youtube atleast, right? xD
glass raptor
well, imma see, forgot the pass ffs
vapid dune
probably better to just donate it
glass raptor
forget it, imma do a reinstall
vapid dune
lol I mean if you have access to the harddrive can't you just look up the password
or rather you can just change it
glass raptor
hold up, fixed it
south blade
I had to do a HDD recovery thing on this thing and find a boot up program to unlock the password they forgot...you can do that in a VM? LOL
south blade
brb, going to clear some brush xD
glass raptor
so, the system is rather laggy with browsers, it's based on xp so browser support is meh. you might try windows 8.1 on it, though since the system has only 1 core it can be a bit laggy. experienced it once with an athlon neo mv-40, it isn't that bad
not even gaming browser is supported

@clear igloo am i reading right... ccnp ent needs no ccna?
clear igloo
Not sure, I haven't looked in a while

Prerequisites
There are no formal prerequisites for CCNP Enterprise, but you should have a good understanding of the exam topics before taking the exam.
CCNP candidates often also have three to five years of experience implementing enterprise networking solutions.
it says that in plain english, i just dont believe it
xD
new company is very learning obsessed, so i might make em pay for that... i just dont wanna do ccna all over again
clear igloo
Interesting, that's nice
hollow marlin
CCNA is no longer requirement for anything

@waxen scroll finally going to redo this the right way. I was up until 2 something yesterday trying to strip out all the wire that the tech left there. My PC isn't in that room opposite from where the picture is
I can't remove that last one because it's providing the internet
And I don't have the wall jack replacement yet
waxen scroll
hidey hole
little schooner
So will have to stay like that until it arrives
@waxen scroll I wanna put 4 rj jacks
Or you think 2 should be enough
I think 2 in every room should work
waxen scroll
idk. up to you. i put 6 in major areas and 1 in various rooms where i know it probably wont be used anyway
little schooner
All the junk cable@waxen scroll
Hmm 6 huh?
Oh I guess I have the dining room where I can put that many
Right now it's being split for the front, back, basement and living room downstairs
Yeah a 6 would go great there
Get rid of the netgear switch I have there while I'm at it
Excellent Comcast cable management

I’m scheduled to take the Network + exam in early Aug. Looking for a study partner, 3ish times a week. DM or @ me if you’re interested!
flat fossil
anyone know why onboard ethernet would crash from multiplayer games like warzone?
flat yew
Would this be a good place to ask about server networking, or is this server exclusively meant for games?
I'm just going to ask. Does anyone know how to get the Aquantia drivers working properly on FreeBSD?
I was trying to install a 10G NIC but while the NIC showed up as aq0, it's status was stuck at "no carrier"
I prefer to be pinged, when being responded to. 🙂
distant wedge
Check out #networking @flat yew
flat yew
@distant wedge that's this channel./
flat yew
Lol
distant wedge
I'll dig around for you and see
flat yew
So far, my biggest answers are that I will likely have to fork over big money for an Intel NIC. 😦
distant wedge
doesn't no carrier indicate that you don't have an ethernet cable connected?
flat yew
It does, but it was plugged in. I have a Cat 8 cable plugged in the back.
flat yew
It's actually my private home server.
It's nothing spectacular.
I just want to be able to have my PC's on my home network communicate with it faster.
I tend to dump massive files in there.
distant wedge
Is your cable a well known good working cable?
distant wedge
pre-terminated I'm assuming?
flat yew
Yep. I've not yet acquired the skills to terminate myself.
That's on my bucket list though. :p
The cable works fine on literally all of the other NICs I plugged into on the server. re0 (which sucks ***), bg0 (installed to replace re0), and then aq0 (to replace bg0)
steady sky
this is a dumb question as i know little about networking. sorry in advance. if there are COAX plugs in my house, can i use COAX or am i restricted to DSL?
flat yew
@steady sky it kind of depends on if you have a coax run to the house from an ISP
distant wedge
@flat yew I've not seen Cat 7, let alone Cat 8 being used for a home environment if I'm honest. In most cases that's because I don't know if there is a standardized EIA/TIA cert for Cat 8
steady sky
@flat yew my cable provider (old school i know) provides internet. does that work?
distant wedge
That's only because I've ever used cat 6A, and have done my own terminations
@steady sky are you trying to pass the internet around your house VIA your coax lines and then throw it out through ethernet?
flat yew
@steady sky is your internet going through a modem with a coax connection, or a phone connection?
steady sky
@distant wedge, i wish i had an answer, i will say that i am currently using DSL and my speeds are capped at like 15down and 1 up
flat yew
@steady sky Unless you are trying to do what @distant wedge suggests, which is totally possible.
distant wedge
Your speeds are capped by what your provider gives you
not by what infrastructure your house has
steady sky
my current ISP is my home phone provider, but they do not provide cable TV
thats a different company
ornate jungle
then you most likely have a DSL modem
if the local cable company services your area, and has a drop cable connected to your home, they can probably install service via DOCSIS over COAX. but only they will know the answer to this, so best ask them.
distant wedge
Then yeah, as Kirashi suggested, look into what providers in your area have
flat yew
@steady sky in other words, if you have cable TV, chances are you can get a provider to provide cable internet.
steady sky
i see, thank you all
does the provider need to be the same company as my cable provider?
flat yew
@distant wedge I bought the cat 8 to make sure the server has 0 interference, and maybe to upgrade speeds at some point into the future. Overkill maybe, but it's a damn fine cable.
distant wedge
Nope, you should be able to move existing services over to the new provider @steady sky
@flat yew While I'd agree with that, Cat5e / Cat6 / Cat6A also do have shielded variants of cable
flat yew
@steady sky only one provider can run on a coax run. So yes, if your cable TV provider doesn't provide internet, you will need to switch to one that provides both.
distant wedge
And in short distances, you can pick up EMI on the shielded connection regardless of it being shielded or not
steady sky
oh wait, this is very odd. my TV provider is Sat. so the coax in my house are just not in use lol
distant wedge
Yeah, so in Satellite TV they would just use a splitter to whereever your TV is
Or just run it directly to your TV's Satellite box
flat yew
Sat providers also have internet.
ornate jungle
Unless the satellite company did what Telus does when they install TV services: straight up CUTS the Coax cable feeding the home from the street / drop in order to repurpose the Coax wiring in the home for MoCA powered STBs. 😆 🤣
ornate jungle
Yup, some Telus installers do this. Then when Shaw, Teksavy, Juce, etc. try to install their service, the house no longer has a signal from the Coax drop out on the street.
distant wedge
wow.
steady sky
(this is especially dumb) does Sat providers provide Sat internet? (worried about ping mostly)
distant wedge
They could just disconnect it. Big brain
ornate jungle
Some Satellite providers do, but yeah, the latency can be very bad at times.
flat yew
@distant wedge in any event, the cable was on sale when I bought, and I've established the cable is not the problem as I can get a full Gigabit in and out to the WAN from the server on my bg0 interface.
distant wedge
@ornate jungle I'm actually about 50m away from both telecom / coax connections. The drops are literally right in front of my house
So my internet is actually not suffering at all
steady sky
yikes, so i should basically just contact my TV service and then see what they say
rocky badge
I can't wait for AT&T fiber....
distant wedge
Blob, you know servers
rocky badge
the headend is between me and my neighbor
distant wedge
Can you figure out what @flat yew is trying to do
steady sky
TV provider only does internet thru my current ISP, what the heck
rocky badge
What are they trying to do
distant wedge
flat yew
@rocky badge I have AT&T fiber. Had a rocky start with their customer service as they repeatedly billed me too much, but I'm super happy with them.
flat yew
(As long as you don't rely on their provided gateways, and bridge it with your own tech.
rocky badge
I mean yeah
distant wedge
Fuck bridging
I wanna bypass
Do they use ONT's or is it just direct into their hardware
flat yew
That causes issue with IPv6 though.
steady sky
my isp has an article that cites LTT, maybe they arent so bad after all
distant wedge
lol.
flat yew
@distant wedge bridging isn't bad. The overhead is surprisingly low.
distant wedge
What do they do
rocky badge
the ONT unlocks the PON with 802.1X to the node
then the gateway unlocks the RJ45 port on the ONT with 802.1X
distant wedge
oh boy
flat yew
And they disallow the use of port 22.
Unless you buy the business package.
But Bridging effectively negates that restricting.
steady sky
my isp says my max available speed is 3mbps, while I'm getting 15 right now???
flat yew
Before my speeds were still 300 Mbps, I got 400. Don't complain about it. :p
distant wedge
So the main fiber ISP here used to use ONT's, but they stopped because of something to do with support, and too much work to restore service to the ONT's. So they basically turned the modem into the ONT itself. Meaning we can just remove the transciever
throw it into whatever switch you want to, and do w/e you want to
rocky badge
With the local ISP
I can get a UFiber Instant and send PON directly into a SFP port
Since they use Ubiquiti UFiber OLTs
distant wedge
I remember you mentioning that
And that's something I would prefer doing, because the ISP here is doing some shady stuff lol
distant wedge
They basically give you a modem that has ports limited by 1.0Gbps, yet are selling a 1.5Gbps service
rocky badge
Did you know
XFINITY Gigabit Pro is actually 2 Gigabit/2 Gigabit SFP+ handoff with 1 Gigabit/1 Gigabit Ethernet handoff
distant wedge
Our provider uses Huawei transceivers lol
rocky badge
So you can bond them together to get 3Gbps lol
rocky badge
All for $299/mo
1 Static IPv4 address, 1 Static /48 IPv6 block
I'd love to go with the local ISP, but their peering and network is SHIT
their pricing is also kinda bad
rocky badge
the promo is for 24 months
*that 1 Gigabit I've never been able to reach
I was at friend's house, he has local ISP gigabit
I could never pull above 850Mbps
I couldn't even pull 900Mbps+ to THEIR speedtest server
flat yew
Getting back to my aquantia issue though. I do understand it's likelier I'll win the lottery than the drivers being properly developed for FreeBSD, but there are reports of getting it working at least, and was hoping I could make that happen for me.
distant wedge
We used to have full symmetrical, but their network took a shit and they overloaded their servers based out of Toronto with signups, so they can only offer symmetrical at 500/500, any higher and they have to do some dumb stuff
Imagine paying these prices
rocky badge
I'm afraid that's what's happening with local ISP
distant wedge
Are they the monopoly in the area?
rocky badge
Nope
flat yew
Damn your internet is expensive
rocky badge
Spectrum is
distant wedge
You want to see expensive?
rocky badge
*well, assuming you could get internet
distant wedge
Prepare yourself
rocky badge
one sec then :p
distant wedge
south blade
Feast your eyes upon my glorious speed!!!
rocky badge
4Gbps/4Gbps WAN burstable to 5Gbps at HS, $150,000.00/year
1Gbps/1Gbps metro Ethernet HS to freshman campus, $18,000.00/year
10Gbps/10Gbps metro Ethernet HS to 14 sites, $630,000.00/year
That price is what I'm paying now to get 1 Gbps lol.
distant wedge
bruh
south blade
Out of 400/40, this is with VPN though....and a whopping $95/month!!! East Texas...fucking Suddenlink.
flat yew
Well apparently mentioning Linus get's me censored. Ooops
distant wedge
Okay, the ISP itself doesn't even support that
rocky badge
To be fair though, that is enterprise services 😛
distant wedge
Because they're cheap as hell
rocky badge
You wanna see ISP over subscribing?
distant wedge
Their GPON's only support 2.5 / 1.7, and in several areas, they've already maxed nodes with people signing up for Gbit service and not getting advertised speeds
flat yew
So I will thank Linus for recommending Unifi equipment, without mentioning him. 🙂
rocky badge
EPB has 300/300, 1Gig/1Gig, 10Gig/10Gig plans
but they only have like 30Gbps out to the internet
distant wedge
And that 2.5/1.7 is per 32 houses
distant wedge
If that's what it is, couldn't something be said about them oversubscribing just because they can?
distant wedge
Fair
flat yew
@rocky badge FreeBSD 13 has native support, or still requires the kmod?
flat yew
uses XigmaNAS, and it's still using 12.1
south blade
They need a contract with a % of speed required to count as proper service, if it goes under then they need to remedy the situation.
rocky badge
distant wedge
That looks nice
flat yew
Well generally, anything withing 20% of the advertised rate is considered acceptable.
distant wedge
I'm afraid the local ISP is wasting money on solutions provided to them with little to no research
Which is why the rollout is taking much longer than anticipated
south blade
Isn't that so stupid @flat yew Fucking ridiculous
rocky badge
Local ISP is using UFiber
distant wedge
Hell, I would have done the same.
rocky badge
I forgot if they're using cisco/edgerouter/or juniper for routing though
flat yew
@south blade yup. Fortunately, AT&T has dedicated lines to their customers.
distant wedge
Seems the ISP here is using whatever is compatible with Huawei's Transcievers
Really wouldn't surprise me if they were using huawei OLT's
rocky badge
they probably are
you usually want to keep your transceivers/ONU the same brand as your olts
distant wedge
Yeah. And now that Canada's picked a bone with China, they're probably scrambling to figure out how to get support for their hardware
rocky badge
with UFiber/Ubiquiti
UNMS controls both OLTs and ONUs
As well as your airFiber/airMAX/EdgeMAX
handles CRM and client management/subscriptions
distant wedge
Right
distant wedge
I mean, if you hire people that are competent, you shouldn't have much of an issue solving problems as they arise right
distant wedge
It's a shame
We're years behind on utility locates, and they've only done a few streets because the locates were "easy"
Contractors words, not mine
hollow marlin
@rocky badge 128 per PON in real world is impossible due to splice loss
rocky badge
Well yeah
hollow marlin
We stick to 32 max and to help with congestion
rocky badge
but you probably don't want 128 per pon anyways
flat yew
@rocky badge @distant wedge thank you for the help. I'll try again when I get my system upgraded to FBSD 13
rocky badge
👍
distant wedge
@flat yew You can redirect the thank you's to Blob, I have no idea what is supported tbh, lol
flat yew
@distant wedge @rocky badge I could always trying dropping the card before installing it again. XD
rocky badge
lmao
hollow marlin
128 per PON with GPON limits to 20mbps/cust would be a nightmare to support too lol
flat yew
Boy I wish I had an Anthony
distant wedge
Everyone needs an Anthony in their life
Okay, I have a question lol
I have a TP-Link Archer C3200 that I bought since the first firmware update for it came out. Need suggestions on what to upgrade to
distant wedge
I was thinking Ubiquiti, but I don't know where to start in regards to hardware
flat yew
@distant wedge Same boat. Ubiquiti has a shit ton of options.
distant wedge
I have a basic idea of what I want to get though
rocky badge
My core/"production" network is Ubiquiti
I got a Cisco switching coming that's gonna be my "lab" switch
48 port Gigabit PoE (370W total across 48 ports)
thorny vector
Build your own. 😜
flat yew
My family is building a house in Thailand, where I also plan to build my offsite replication server and high end computing machines, and they are tasking me with the networking and security. I plan to trick the home out with Ubiquiti gear.
distant wedge
I only want to go Ubiquiti so when the AX standard has its kinks worked out and all that, they can start working on an AX ap
At least that's what I hope will happen
rocky badge
There's already WiFi 6 APs
distant wedge
from Ubiquiti?
flat yew
Yep
distant wedge
jfc
distant wedge
I should probably wait for a while then lol
rocky badge
The 6lite is $99
flat yew
Can you expand the acronyms?
flat yew
👍
distant wedge
Thoughts on this?
Also, can someone please help me understand the purpose of the cloudkey
hollow marlin
Also don't forget 6 is useless unless all devices are 6 capable. Single 5 device connects and the whole AP drops down to 5
distant wedge
250w is for poe security cameras I have on order from Axis
rocky badge
The controller/cloudkey manages devices
distant wedge
I just need something to drive PoE
rocky badge
Is that cad
rocky badge
you need 24 ports?
distant wedge
Do they have a 16 port?
rocky badge
yes
distant wedge
I can go smaller, but I'd like more just for futureproofing purposes
But we can do 16 sure
rocky badge
distant wedge
does 16 150w work?
distant wedge
Let me throw you the site I'm using
Only because they're local to where I am so it's easier to procure the items
rocky badge
is the router and AP going to be away from each other
(Router, AP, 4 Ethernet ports, and controller)
distant wedge
hmm
I kind of want to stray away from the all in one solutions, just in case something breaks I'm not spending a lot of money replacing everything
rocky badge
USG is kinda a dead platform right now
distant wedge
aw
rocky badge
until they release the UXG-Pro and hopefully UXG later on
USG hasn't been getting many updates and its showing its age
distant wedge
understood
rocky badge
USG3p came out in 2014 iirc
distant wedge
I guess I'll just hold onto what I have until then
rocky badge
How long is "slow"?
little schooner
3 minutes
rocky badge
hmm
I mean, I'd kill for 3 minute boot
but did you change anything?
or did it just happen out of the blue
little schooner
i believe 1.9.1-lite
little schooner
@rocky badge well i was told it was lower memory usage
rocky badge
Yeah
little schooner
meaning less resources should load faster no?
if life were a one-to-one relationship
rocky badge
lol

So, it seems my VPN is blocking myanimelist.net, any way to circumvent that in PFSense and OpenVPN?
I've got rules set so I can toggle VPN off per device, so that's what I'm doing right now, but then I need it back on to...find where to watch them... 🙂
Kinda ruins the point of this browser extension that auto keeps tab of what I'm watching though, it's a MyAnimeList tracker basically.
thorny vector
I've been testing the SAN I just set up, and having multiple VM's run disk performance tests across iSCSI, I'm getting 200-300 MBps read/writes across all of em
✊
south blade
wtf kind of VPN is that
@vapid dune The regular kind, I'm guessing they blocked it from their own DNS server, actually have this same issue with a few other sites too but don't care as it's my phone services lol and I've got them on auto pay.
stone swan
@south blade I've run into this with some sites blocking a VPN exit ip (the way netflix or amazon video know you're on a VPN and tell you to disconnect). You can use split tunneling to get around this.
little schooner
@thorny vector winner
thorny vector
@little schooner took a while because for some reason Iscsi would break if I made my LAGG do load balancing dynamically, but smb shares were breaking if I did it by address hash
Ended up having to do it by hash, disable the share, initiate iscsi, reenable the share, then make my esxi datastores
stone swan
@thorny vector what kind of SAN? Some like Nimble, 3PAR, NetApp (maybe? can't remember now), and a few others need two+ iSCSI VLANs for "ideal" operation and performance as well as a separate subnet for management.
thorny vector
My own. I whitebox everything.
stone swan
FreeNas or something similar?
stone swan
so a 2016 server and presenting that to esxi?
thorny vector
What do you mean by presenting? I did divy up a VHD that got presented as a iscsi target
stone swan
so your 2016 san is hosting the datastore for your vmware host right? ESXi is pointing to that 2016 box's IP for an iSCSI target?
thorny vector
Oh, yeah.
stone swan
I've never done that how does it do? The closest I got was setting up the NFS server on 2016 and letting esxi connect by NFS for a quick vm data dump.
thorny vector
Pretty good. The drive thats being used as the target is a raid 5 vhd, and I had 5 VM's across 2 hosts all running quick i/o tests, getting 200 to 300 MB/s read write. Nothing crazy intensive in terms of testing, but its basically what I need to offload my low i/o boxes to the iscsi datastore, so I can have more room on my hosts for more intensive applications.
Wouldn't use it for a database, or anything, but works for some of my other stuff

Anyone have any input about wifi 6 routers? Usually have been using Netgear products but after a poor performance with the orbi system I'm intrigued with Asus and TPlink models.

netgear ac1200 wac104
actually i think it is just strctly an "access point" but i was about to go with that shit option that would of gave me less than 100 until you pinged me lol
vapid dune
oh interesting. you didn't need a switch after all
vapid dune
ah good good
stray stone
What was the thing i was supposed to disable though
was it like dchp or soething like that
vapid dune
oh it's an AP only so that shouldn't be an issue
stray stone
oh ok
vapid dune
it's only if you got a wifi router
stray stone
yeah i was gonna say seems to be working exactly how i want it anyway
vapid dune
yup that one should be pretty much set it and forget it
stray stone
includes cat5e cable 😦
vapid dune
lol
stray stone
not even cat6 😭
vapid dune
I mean that's not a big deal since it's just gigabit
vapid dune
most of my cables between stuff is cat 5e .-.
stray stone
since itll be across the room
vapid dune
I mean you can just try it out and see how it goes
but I had my steam link wireless for a bit. and even though the AP is good and not that far away. it's still not a good experience
stray stone
yeah ill try it.
funny thing is i was about to get a cat7 ethernet cable to my pc
my ISP was giving me 600mbps
but i was only getting 200 on my pc
i thought my cable was bad
(cause i was able to get hgigher than that by standing next to router on wifi)
turns out it was "autotuninglevel" setting in windows
turned it back on and instantly got +500mbps
no clue why that ever got turned off lol
vapid dune
huh. dunno drivers and settings are nuts sometimes
stray stone
you can see the moment i found the setting LUL
vapid dune
lol wow
yeah if it's gigabit cat 5e is fine enough
I mean I wouldn't choose to pick it if I were installing new cabling in the walls. but it's what I got
stray stone
gonna wall mount it now then we good lol

5e is fine. If you use it with 10Gbe you get a free space heater too 😉

Network test on steam link is showing good up to 25MBs so like 200, faster than the 100mbps ethernet port lol

Any one here set up there own dns server that check root sever for results instead of Google or other public dns
vapid dune
@raw timber you mean like unbound?
raw timber
No some other one
vapid dune
like?

Technitium DNS Server
it was easyer to set up for docker
can even do pihole
stuff too
vapid dune
I mean it looks like more of a pihole alternative I suppose
raw timber
it suport ask root sever for name not google or other
vapid dune
what's your question? lol
raw timber
Forwarders are DNS servers which this DNS Server should use to resolve recursive queries. If no forwarders are configured then this DNS server will use preconfigured ROOT SERVERS to perform recursive resolution.
was try to tell if this is better since it dont give the non google requewst to google and so on
vapid dune
Ah I mean it's better from a privacy perspective. But only mildly imo
You tend to trade speed though
I mean you could argue either way on privacy too. You ultimately make request(s) about certain domains to someone. And that may include info about your connection in some way
as long as you can avoid bad actors for DNS records then which ever is good enough

Hey, not sure if this is the correct chat, but I'm looking for a free teck tip. I had my catalytic converter stolen from my car and now I want to get some security cameras. I want affordable cameras that I can have record directly to my windows PC that I run my other home server programs on. Anyone know a good camera/software combo?
vapid dune
I think you need to figure out how you're gonna power the cameras first. like do you have any ethernet nearby etc. and then what kind of quality are you looking for is next
oh and if it's outdoors. though in my experience video footage doesn't really help with much other than knowing what happened
there's also some really cheap not really security camera options that are wifi enabled and record to cloud / sdcard. like wyzecam. I think there's also an RSTP mode

I would ditch the plan to record straight to your computer so you don't have to mess with the overhead of NVR software. I have wyze cams in damn near every room of my house, can't beat them for $20. They aren't meant for outdoors but i've seen people use cheap enclosures and mount them under eaves and have had success with them.
Outside I have solar powered ring spot cams and door bell cams. I've been holding off on more of them in hopes wyze would release a IP54+ rated camera.
IMO the spotlight cameras are the best bang for the buck for driveways since they can take the place of existing floods for power, and they aren't relying solely on infrared for night vision.
With infrared if someone jacks something out of your driveway at night more then 6' from the damn camera, best of luck getting identifiable information to do anything about it.

Good to know. I do have 2 wyze cams that I use to monitor my 3d printer and I like them a lot, but like you said I wish they made outdoor ones. I don't want to pay a subscription and I don't need remote viewing, but I'd like to be able to record onto the server just for easy management. They'd be mounted on the house where there's easy access to Poe or anything like that

If it was me I would splurge on a higher quality camera for drive way. Be it a 4k ubiquiti camera, or a ring flood cam. The ubiquiti software is free, so you'd just be out the cost of the camera going that route.
Linus installed one of the g4 pro cameras on his video he uploaded the other day. They are nice cameras. I have two of the pro line at work, the only issue I have with them is the infrared night vision at distance which will always be an issue with that tech.
you can basically get 2 of the flood light cams for the cost of one of the g4 pro's from ubiquiti.
terse anchor
Maybe I'll check out the ubiquiti option then. I'm in the same camp as Linus. I'd rather pay a higher upfront cost than a low subscription
burnt oasis
I'd probably go with the lower end ubiquiti cameras over the pros, and more of them. Then you can get multiple angles to increase your chance of catching something useful. The g3's 1080p cameras are $149/each in the individual pack. They usually come with a poe injector individually, but don't always in packs.
a lot of ubiquiti gear runs at 24v instead of the standard 48v.

well that's embarrassing. assembled the server mobo in a fractal design case and then wired the power switch the wrong way
