they deliberately do not roll out networks in other regions
$150 for 150/150 no cap
They've been caught bribing and handing laws to politicians saying "Pass this" and the politicians have done it
That's $1 for a mbit
59 euros for 250/250mbit no cap ofcourse
But my plan with all the extras, comes to around 120/month
@clear igloo thats what they use the FCC for
its ment to protect consumers
but not really 
Good on paper
ISP are friends and not food
FDA approved internet
GMO free I hope 
How good am I at derailing the convo

love how easy some of these things are :)
router with built in DoS tools
Flood Ping
Btw, is this the hap ac2
nah thats my RB4011
lemme get the specs from the hap
the hAP doesnt have a lot of storage space
but it has a usb port
Isn't hap supposed to be better
RB4011 is better than the hAP
This is the interface view of my hAP
wlan1 and 2 are 2.4 and 5GHz
But in typical dual band setups, you use the same SSID
and the device decides on 2.4 or 5
you can configure it otherwise
Yea
but its just how I do it, lot easier if you have a lot of APs
I got dual band
Then one 2.4 ( in my room)
3 AP suffices
All with a different name

yeah on mtiks youd give same name
and let CAPsMAN handle the roaming
@unborn sluice if you want to maximize the range on your AP, set the country of origin to "Democratic Republic of Congo"
they dont have regulations on max transmission power
though keep in mind
this is illegal
xD
I think mine is configured for us

@unborn sluice remember KRACK ?
This website presents the Key Reinstallation Attack (KRACK). It breaks the WPA2 protocol by forcing nonce reuse in encryption algorithms used by Wi-Fi.
My memories are hazy
MITM attack on WPA2's key exchange
then
was mostly fixed
but they came up with WPA3
which was supposed to fix WPA2's problems
This website presents the Dragonblood Attack. It is a collection of attacks against the WPA3 protocol, which mainly abuse the password element generation algorithm of WPA3's Dragonfly handshake.
Enter, dragonblood
So, WPA3, had a "downgrade" for backwards compatability
so older devices could still connect
so attacker requests WPA2 downgrade
Oh nice security flaw compatible
and uses that to exploit the WPA3 network
This should be the situation for all
Instead of using wep, just remove the wpa2 passphrase altogether
@unborn sluice I had a script in early 2015, for WPA (not wpa) networks
all you needed was a crappy LTE connection
could crack any WPA network in ~20 mins
It used a deauth attack, to force a client to reconnect to the network
it then, sniffs the packets
Ah yes I also use that deauth attack
and brute forces them, using hashcat on an Amazon S3 server
the most expensive one they have
they charge you per minute, so the script would create an S3 instance
Imagine using deauth in public wifi
run your hashcat
then delete the instance
costs maybe.. 2-3 bucks for 1 wifi network
S3?
oh wait not s3
Isn't it supposed to be EC2 or ecs
s3 is just storage yo
I got confused ;)
S3 is the new serverless
that's ironfunction
which is AWS lambda's open source brawler
if it's compatible with AWS's lambda sdk
i'm gonna lose it
AWS Lambda seems...
a stupid platform to develop for
you make yourself 100% dependent on their platform
and code isnt compatible with other tools
Hmmm
same with Azure based solutions
I forgot where I got the info
I don't even know if it's fake
They say Azure runs on hyperv platform
@unborn sluice so happy that WSL turned out to be a big fail
because Embrace Extend Extinquish
But I still use it in the office 
oh, in those situations
I either use cygwin (mingw)
or run a VM in the background
and use terminal
I also have cygwin and mingw
@unborn sluice have you got Xming?
Yup
its great isnt it ? :)
Yea, I love that I'm fucking myself by using Linux in windows
lol
my previous employer was insisting that everyone use windows
because of some government regulations (cus we had government as client)
they needed ESET antivirus
on every machine
yea...
Hell nawh apple
well
to be fair
if I had to choose a workhorse
I'd rather have a macbook
than a windows box
because mac at least has gcc, brew, macports
and a sane system layout
I'd choose MacBook also if I would do my work in a coffee shop
I'd be the hip programmer
I'd be the hip programmer
@unborn sluice
ok doya gao
OSX has a lot of exploits right now, but so does windows
Atleast apple is objectively better
microsoft's close source model is just annoying
https://soranews24.com/2014/01/20/the-doya-gao-phenomenon-and-where-youre-most-likely-to-see-it/
@elfin socket would try this one out
keeping machines alive with windows on them, is harder than it should be
if a linux machine breaks somehow
you can usually fix it
and once configured, it never really breaks itself
unless you are on arch maybe
if people want bleeding edge of linux, get a bunch of programs you normally dont get via package manager
the AUR is perfect place
We still use centos for our application servers
CentOS was the first linux distro I ever ssh'ed into
operated by someone else
was first minecraft server I got console access to
in 2011
xD
Awww the good memories
yum install
I remember
and it had built in anti ddos features
firewall config was quite extensive
Firewall CMD?
I dont remember
Must be
Debian/Ubuntu have ufw
Centos have firewallcmd
or debian forks
yeah
I use ufw
my private VMs use my WAN IP to expose services
all the big things like public facing webservers
those have their own public IP
My first Linux was ubuntu, so no matter how bad people say it is, I just can't hate Ubuntu
so private vms: NAT
;D
but there's a reason for that
since I have other people using my internet
You have more than 1 public ip
I have a contract
where they sign over the IP address
this excludes me from any liabiltiies
cus if they start downloading cp
its my name
It's time for you to create a tor node
what
I dont want to draw unwanted attention
I know weed is legal
but if they do a full search :/
I see you don't want anti privacy letters every monday
but if they do a full search :/
You got a butt ton then
I dont really go on benders like that anymore
I got my shit in line
fulltime work
hangovers don't work well with that
I dont have a lot
So consumption is legal but not sale hmmm

I never got used to getting knockout drunk
always had to be DD
sucks being the eldest.
i want to cook when i do.
What's dd
I also never got Knock out drunk
The farthest I got is migraine drunk
My head is throbbing, e.g. you can feel your pulse in your head
That's not a good experience imo
ive havent gotten so drunk in so long. kinda iffy about getting pass out drunk
@unborn sluice I don't drink so the aforementioned side effects described have not the chance to formulate in me
hey folks and friends XD
changed the PSU and it seems like that was some sort of case that destroyed the system slowly...new PSU and now lets see if i can get that smbd running again ๐
Why does my VPN connect better to the American Servers than the Canadian ones? (I live in Calgary)
It depends on where each server is located and the path taken

@lunar spade because the laws of physics
I am looking into getting 10gb internet for my home (just because I can, not because I need it). I am trying to figure out what type of router I need to handle that speed so that I can get the full 10g speed to my pc. I can find plenty or routers with SFP+ ports but I'm not sure they would let me have the full 10g throughput. Would it be best for me to build a router myself (maybe with pfsense)? The ISP just provides and SFP+ module.
I wouldn't build a router since it can't use hardware acceleration. Mikrotik has nice routers
@strong violet building your own router would be the fastest, affordable option yes. But pfsense can't do 10g from what I heard. That's where their tnsr platform comes in
Like an 8 core Intel 9th gen can handle it
i would argue its not affordable at all... you'll prob pay $300 for the hardware anyway and $10/m in power bills because its not efficient to use a desktop computer for networking
@little schooner mines 6.5ish
That rate is nicer
Hah, did you know it cost more for them to deliver me the electricity then it does to consume it? @waxen scroll
It's madness
If I could build a router for around 600 or 700 that can comfortably handle the speed, then that is fine. I'm not so worried about the power cost. I will only be running one of them.
@waxen scroll what 10g router do you know that cost around @strong violet price range?
Or @clear igloo
Or anyone else really
but im trying to find the throughput specs to confirm
if you dont want an ecosystem product i think theres a cheaper one
hmm i wonder if they are selling the 10G edgerouter anymore. its not stocked
the infinity router is $1.8k and i feel like the dream machine provides way more benifet lol
@strong violet ubiquiti has support so I would open a ticket asking what can do what you need. the only other cheaper option is mikrotik but thats not my wheelhouse
im mostly a cisco person so thats gonna hurt your wallet lol
I have a very simple setup, so I won't need the ecosystem. The throughout is the main thing for me. The dream machine pro looks good if I turn off the filtering. Looks to be a max of 8gbps.
I haven't looked at cisco yet. I am mad enough to spend money on it. Lol
i believe the ISR 4461 is the cheapest one you're gonna get for 10G throughput . 1001-X is likely next
@waxen scroll Look at r/ubiquiti and all the love for the UDM Pro. It can, sometimes, do 10gig
i dont doubt it can but you need to not have any features on
Comment was sarcastic, forgot the /s
so what about mik ?
So cisco comes in at 15,000 usd. Lol
On the cheap you can do it with the 4011 but that is only on a ROAS setup. So a 10G switch will be needed
thats before discount
everyone gets a discount
lol
i dont remember the default discount, its like 25% or something
higher volume customers get like 65%+
a 10G switch is needed anyway cause he wants 10G all the way to the desktop
@rocky badge layer 2 UBNT distro switch. your favorite
With the UDM Pro it has a 10G LAN that could be used for a single desktop connection. But seeing the issues people have with it I would say its a no-buy
@little schooner my router does 10G, though it has only 1x 10G and 10x 1G
$180 RB4011
and that's 10G routing
10G on with ROAS though, switch chips are still only like 2.5 or 5gig links
I have a couple of the little Mikrotik 10g switches with 4sfp+ ports
@strong violet CRS305?
4x SFP+ 1x 1G
I got that paired with my RB4011 for more 10G connectivity
Yes. That's the one.
If you already have a 10G switch I would go 4011 if all you need is routing and a basic FW
easy -> hard
ufw -> mtik -> iptables
as someone whose made iptables systems for routing.... yeaaaahhhhh
iptables is like, when all else fails
but damn is it powerful
@waxen scroll first time I tried adding a 'New Rule' in my mtik firewall
I nearly died
^ lel
thats basically iptables GUI afaik
Never configured IP tables but its similar to MT other than syntax
IPtables just difficult to read
and then grasp what it is it does
mtik is middle ground
most of the time now, I just copy existing rules and modify them
4011 only has one SFP+ port though. I would need two. One for WAN and one for LAN.
Thats why it needs to be setup as ROAS (router on a stick)
VLAN for the WAN and VLAN for the LAN.
o
Its a waste and which they just added a 3 switch chip for another SFP+ port
So I would plug my ISP's transceiver into my switch. Plug my 4011 into the switch with a DAC (plus everything else on my 10g network). Set up a VLAN for the WAN so it passes straight through to the router. And then a VLAN for the LAN so it comes straight out again. And that would give me the full 10g through?
all you'd do on the CRS305 is some port mapping for the vlan
@hollow marlin you'd do this with bridge vlans right?
because that's how I did it on my CRS305
even tested it with a 2gbit/s stream, with like 2% CPU usage
to make sure it was hardware accel
Bridging is software based though, isn't it? @tame carbon
Offloading on the older mikrotik gear doesn't make sense to me
Way too confusing to configure
@tame carbon Yeah, in the CR3xx series youll want to do it under bridge.
@little schooner Only the CR3xx series support bridged VLAN configuration with hardware acceleration. The older series does not. I don't think any other product lines support it. Again why my biggest gripe with MT is VLAN configuration
@hollow marlin how so?
I've done some vlan stuff before, but always hated configuring it
on mtik, its quite ez
Obscurity between product lines, some bridged, some on switch chips, some switch chips can only do specific function like only read the header, etc. Config is not hard its just a mess
@hollow marlin I see
yeah
vlan config on my RB4011
is different
I registered them as interfaces
and then if you go to bridge ports, you'll find those vlans are dynamically configured
and I guess, this 'dynamic' configuration, can be a bit... confusing
as on some occassions I have seen dynamic rules in places, but was never able to find out where its coming from
what causes these
your ISP had an outage and you should contact them for a credit
the answer is based how much time do you want to put into your system
@unborn rover what's your internet service at home?
to me, most all-in-one home routers suck
oh noe, we'll never recommend all-in-one routers here
consumer trash begon
that being said you can do stuff really cheaply but require a lot of tinkiering, or buy fully fleshed out products that do a lot of the grit for you
but they usually cost $$$
cringe
cringe harder
asus has good ideas, their hardware and firmware just don't support it
ike the guy behind the merlin firmware was finally like lol i'm done
okay, we'll now you get to decide which routing operating system you like the most
UnTangled vs Pfsense vs OpnSense vs vyos vs more traditional routing operating systems such as Cisco's iOS
your choice in ISP depends on the choices and the reliability in your area
in my area Comcast's network is a dumpster fire
@topaz quarry need to dub it down a bit, don't think he understands, justs wants an all-in-one
maybe it's better in your area
if people want to learn why not give stuff to lookup
mikrotik routers are nice if you are willing to learn
I made the mistake of buying an ER-X
oh fuzzz
it works for now
if i'm getting something like that i'm just gonna go microtik or roll my own box
looking for a cheap second-hand server racks to rack my things up
plus to finally be able to use a d-link switch I got for free
@unborn rover https://www.youtube.com/user/TheTecknowledge/playlists
he's really good at explaining a lot of these very difficult networking concepts in plain english
no
cisco flattened that brand
if you want to actually utilize your connection, the following routing brands will provide a large hill to climb (I'm not saying they can't do it but you will need to network guru). Netgear, ASUS, linksys, TP-Link
this is not to say they don't have hardware that isn't usable but if you look at their routers they can perform very poorly. A lot of people think they need a better internet plan
when all they need is a better router
pfsense/opnsense can be installed on almost anything
@unborn rover you need a better router or wifi?
b/c fundamentally a router doesn't provide wifi access
that is correct
that's an Access Points job
internet connectivity = Access Point + Router + Modem
if you put them all in one box
all 3 roles perform poorly
most consumers don't want to shell out for discrete parts
which is why ISPs do this
ISP provides modem
^sometimes
@unborn rover https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/
This application provides a visualization of the residential fixed broadband deployment data collected on FCC Form 477. Facilities-based providers of broadband service report Form 477 data in June and December each year. Providers report fixed-broadband deployment data at the ...
so look up all the Internet Providers in your area
check your area
middle of America isn't specific enough
you have to look it up yourself
like down to the county/city level
if you're in rural America the chance of having good internet are low
also @peak cloak I recently got a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NFXN4SS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to help my five node cluster with 10 a gigabit backhaul for IO
i can't wait to test this thing lol
wow, that's a nice switch
lots of sfp+
you can put in your address and it will tell you all ISP's for that location
FCC broadband map
Ex:
show the ISP name as well
1000/35 is probably Comcast. Or Cox cable.
ah ok
I would go with the first one, but check thier local website and the price
small ISP's usually have better support
Ah yes, Blackspot Telephone Company. Just uhhh don't forget to pay your bill on time, or they'll give you the black spot and the kraken will get you on your next sea voyage.
Was making a joke about the name of the first company in your list having a black spot over it.
But yeah I agree with @peak cloak - check into their pricing, and suss out how their support is should anything go wrong.
that's good
100/month for gigabit is good
we pay 160 over here
as long as they don't raise it later like verizon does
they advertise 80/month, but in reality it's higher
do you really need 1g though
I used to have 300/30, and it works fine
@peak cloak no. i downgraded to 100/10
you can't have 0 ping
it's impossible
yeah probobly
depending on their network, but fiber has better latency than copper
Signals are transmitted at 2/3 the speed of light in fiber optic cables. In copper it can be faster than that.
@hollow marlin daaaa
fiber has basically no interference
@waxen scroll yeah your right
@rocky badge spanning tree priority 0
check your connection directly out of the modem
just to check how bad/good the internet is
is your modem seperate from your router
wait, how does your network look like at home?
with coax input?
oh
so it's just a wifi issue
not an internet issue
check the speed directly from the router using an ethernet cable
they are on wifi right?
yeah, as I said before hook up directly to the router using ethernet using a laptop or something and run a speedtest
wifi sucks
results?
I just want to see how bad is it
what do you pay for?
yeah but what speeds are you paying for?
and it's an ISP provided box?
by box I mean router
complain to the ISP
hmm, yeah then I would try switching to the other local ISP
yeah
first I would switch ISP's
then work out router
actually
you may be able to reduce the cost by buying your own router
fiber providers don't use modem
depends on what your local ISP does
FiOS for example uses a GPON network, so they install ONT's on your house for "free"
Other ISP's may use a more conventional network and then if you have a router with an SFP port, they could just connect directly to the router
you could ask them
@unborn rover good video on fiber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHrBq1iuiI4
just don't bend the fiber
Fios is NGPON. Upgrades the PON from 2.4/1.2 to 40gig optics. NGPON for us has been in design plan for way too long
hmm, good to know I guess? what's the difference
Functionally the same. NGPON uses a QSFP with 4 different wavelength at 10G each to use by a range of ONTs. GPON is just a single freq. that uses TDM for each ONT.
GPONs real world limit is 32 ONTs per PON all sharing the same 2.4/1.2g of bandwidth vs 32 ONTs separated in blocks of 4 with each block sharing 10G each
ah ok
@waxen scroll lol
@unborn rover you can do powerline networking or moca networking
the magic of using wires you probably already have
Problem with moca is that the adapters are expensive
lol the adapters can be expensive yea
lol Ghost wait until you get into true networking magic
your world will open up
or your brain will become mush
I was looking into it, but in the end I ran ethernet
Ended up putting my AP in the middle of the house
Europe?
so like my house has hotel style wifi with a backhaul
no just a well made house in the US
Nice
i'm in hurricane alley
Yeah, that's good to have
like in my old house i was using one those all in one solutions
and it would like sorta work
it just kinda went naw
this house is to much
I started running ethernet in the home when my mom would have stability issues with the wifi b/c of a broken driver on her school laptop. It just kept disconnecting so I ran ethernet to her office and it started from there. Before, the modem, ER-x and netgear switch were all in the same place next to my pc

so like
networking is literally the hardest part of technology
like literally network engineers are viewed at monty python bunnies in the tech industry
get to close and you vanish
im one and i get TRIGGERED when a server person blames the network with no troubleshoot on their part
Network engineers be like
a monty python bunny has joined the fray
like we have entire ochestration suites
just to manage one aspect of technology
yeaaa the network is slow cause your SQL server is over a 10ms link
and you're the idiot who designed it that way
hey, hey you ever get a cockroach-db problem
or more generally
a distributed SQL server problem
those problems are da best
or AWS s3 bucket problems
where they're like but it's slow
worst ive had was self hosted exchange DB problems
because you're getting from a bucket in california and you want it to go to Florida
exchange db is an actual dumpster fire
Oregon servers accessing in Asia 
I prefer getting severs not working rather than enterprise reaching out to me because they lost a single ping out of 10000
server not working is easy to fix.... its the "its slow" thats the worst
lol wut
if this is a business case just hire a contractor
then learn how to do it yourself
Wdym phoenix
black bag em
or . . . just deploy your wifi correctly
and use QoS to prefer game traffic
so everyone can be happy
QoS preferring his device
lol just buy your own line then
or maybe it wasn't done right
if you're making money off your internet
idk
What is your uplink speed btw
So basically Iโm= pro esports player ?
no monies?
yea your internet is defined by download and upload
if to many people are downloading stuff it can tank your upload
especially if you have like a 200/10 plan
or something like that
Oh wow
How symmetrical is that
is that what they sell or is that what you get
100/1 
well then either fix the wifi
or find another way to get to the gateway
you'll need a government agency for that
or find the modern version of pablo esocabar
and have him blag back your siblings

idk you said you "So basically Iโm= pro esports player My wifi = lag stopping me from winning money. "
i assumed you were actually winning and getting prize money
well then enjoy what you have
All I just read is I am pro but not really because lag but I would be if it was fixed
If you want to go "pro" then its wired or nothing
;p
;p
even my chromecasts are wired

I tried projecting to my roku, but apparently (miracast I think it's called) is only a direct wifi protocol
miracast over infrastructure exists as well but it was a pain to setup
Is there an alternative to xrdp or a method used to make it very reliable when installed on something like Ubuntu Desktop or Kali Linux? I find that it doesn't always load the desktop or user profile correctly. Sign out feature is also hit or miss and the session never ends when a user is finished. Lastly, I get Color Profile prompts when a user does rdp into the machine that requires user to enter their password again
VNC?
@peak cloak I have trouble with VNC too. It works but it isn't consistent
It's not stable like it's windows counterpart
spice?
I haven't tried spice
or x2go?
tiger vnc?
could not get vnc to work on my win 7 box but could get tiger vnc to work. /shrug
My AP
looks like a router
Because it originally was
configured as AP I assume
Yep
in bridge mode?
yeah using my buffalo dhp1750 as an AP too.
These old FritzBoxes are quite versatile
Yep
Also, when was the last time you saw a USB of this size
I use it for firmware updates only
oh wow, that's small
Check #build-a-pc in a sec
@neat agate is that a white superhub 3? howโd you get that
oh wait... different provider. looks exactly the same as my router
It's a Ziggo ConnectBox
yeah... itโs called a Virgin Superhub 3 in the UK
A.K.A Arris TG2492LG
o
yeah. sometimes i have to partition an 8gb or something on this cause network devices dont like it
stupid cisco
he meant that it's really small as in storage size
@peak cloak indeed
@waxen scroll very tiny usbs
@waxen scroll https://blob.rocks/cuFwHuajhy.png
They want RJ45 on this..... https://blob.rocks/7xcyNqyGka.png
heh. yeah. ive done it too
but if they want all ports RJ-45 then LOL
wait what... they have an L3 agg switch now?

He knows what SFPs are right?
10GbE on copper is nice on paper
until you realize how expensive the NICs are
nevermind the 25 meter limit and interference issues
Due to power and heat. Its why over 10G for copper is not going to be a thing for sometime.

sometimes I look at this channel and pretend I know what Iโm looking at to feel smart
blob has that effect
networking is the only thing I do not have a decent grasp on
what do you have a decent grasp on
<-#nothing
^
i know how a computer works and how to build them
but the concept i am talking to someone via radio frequency through a box
across the world
amazes me
I know about networking within a LAN, but routing outside of the LAN is sort-of alien to me
i stopped using B, i use Z now
Speaking of which, I'm trying to figure out why when tracerouting to google.com it is going though a private ip address 10.240.164.201 even though I am not using the 10.x.x.x subnet
A-Z is the only way
No, Optimum
i hear CTL had private IPs sometimes too
I know ATT does CGNAT
question
Because my friend on AT&T has a similar hop
Response in TR private IP from a provider is normal
how does Ethernet work
so probably your ISP?
yeah
would it cause problems if I would use a 10.x.x.x subnet at home?
it shouldn't afaik lol
Responses are generated with a source of the egress interface. You can configure it to respond with the loopback
Nope
you mean lumen
MPLS
๐ค
It might appear to be 1 hop but with MPLS you are not decrementing the TTL until its egress the tunnel. Unless you configure it to decrement
ah
yeppppp @rocky badge my site in china has lots of hops but the trace is 2
lol
If you didn't have Unifi you could use MPLS to get a traceroute with MPLS labels with some sneaky configuration
i only use MPLS as a CE, last job i used it proper but new job doesnt
@hollow marlin UniFi router? I'm not using that as my main router lol
or any UniFi lol
yes, i meant i only peer with an MPLS router. i dont think about MPLS anymore
my friend has 12ms ping to a MC sever I'm hosting at home
But how are sysadmins going to put MPLS on their resume?
do they?
Way too much
Even when they do not run MPLS, they manage a router on an MPLS circuit/L3VPN and still put it on their resume
well
i dont disagree with that BUT
it needs to be more than just "i plugged a router in"
Woah, thats asking a lot
MPLS is only getting you from A to Z, theres a lot of engineering that can go into the design and MPLS is just a small part of it
Im just referring to sysadmins and the resumes I have seen
if you dont use the word MPLS on the resume its not as easy to identify what you did for people who arent admins
they know they need to look for MPLS
lol
also supposedly hiring for networking is hard ๐
last company told me "yeah those basic questions you answered on the verbal test.... most people fail"
oooooooooook
everybody lying i guess
when i graduated i was also encouraged to lie and refused
"you took an active directory class right? So why isnt it on your resume?"
really?
one class. barely touched it
I've been thinking if I should go into IT/networking as a career vs. mechanical engineering
lol mechanical eng was one thing i thought about too but i didnt wanna deal with all the math involved and its a very competitive field
Like I like "engineering" at home as in building things, but as in working at a company, idk
thats how i feel about dev
its easy when its your project that you have a passion for... but an employer?
I'm 63 and worked in IT/IS for multiple major global companies. I went from an engineer to a Director and CIO. I have a passion for technology, so I really never worked a day in my adult life doing something I loved. IT/IS is a sh*T job in major companies, ONLY when you get laid off. That happens a lot as the companies in source and outsource every 5-10 years. If your ready for change, awesome, if your not, find what your passoinate about and do that.
haha
i switched to major companies years ago and i love it. screw smaller places ๐
but yeah i have been laid off before, thats the downside
hahaha, yep, gotta love what your doing, when that happens and be willing to do other stuff in IT/IS as well.
6000 jobs at Kraftfoods moved out to EDS(HP) 3000 jobs moved from Johnson Controls to Infosys. I can do on. I also love large companies, but I also like learning, so I built an IT/IS organization which was bought out by Trenity Industries. STuff happens but it was great while they lasted.
i got hit by Capgemeni at one company and TATA at another
they always say "its operational" and then all the engineers get hit
I fired Infosys, pissed of a VP, and later another VP hired Infosys and F^%ed everybody.
I did with 10 people, what Infosys had 100's doing, and did it for 5% of the cost, and 1000 times more work produced.
oof
i had 300k of equipment ordered and on the dock for datacenter network equipment that was end of support and they kicked me out, no turnover
better than training my replacement!
๐
nice...
I took all the signing keys away from the developers, for ANdroid, iOS, and Windows, and was out sourced. I offered to hand the keys over and they said never mind. LOL I did give them to my team, anyway, because without them, every application was going to fail, costing over $100 Million. No IT/IS idiots....
๐คฃ
After what they did to IT/IS, I should have kept them and charged them for signing...
now the new trend is "we refuse to hire non-senior". Automate away the non-engineer contractors. Reduce novice labor.
current company is doing it
I'm 63 and get told, I'm to old, and experienced. cuts both ways.
i dont know how american IT novices are going to get real experience now... between outsourcing and senior only... all they can do is work at smaller companies
then [Surprised Pikachu] "Why cant we find anyone senior to hire???"
reminds me of that job listing that wanted like 5 years experience with certain software, when it was released 2 years earlier
Yep. Amazon director, told me he didn't think I could manage in the data center walking around for 2 hour shift. He was 400lbs, and I just finished 168 out of 690+ people on a 35 mile ultra marathon. I later learned he was afraid I would take his job.
BTW, I use Arch Linux, nothing is over 10 days old....lol
Working a smaller companies in networking would be preferred because you get "more experience" or at least a wider range of responsibilities. Large companies tend to silo and I have seen people burned for being so narrow focused that the moment they need to step outside their day to day they collapse
As far as larger companies hiring only seniors will bite them in a few years
i started my 100% networking career in a big pharmas operations.... you dont silo there and have chances to touch *
i imagine other NOCs are the same
Most providers we work with a 100% silo'd. Not saying it applies to all but have seen many with very limited flexibility
@hollow marlin You can be correct. I was lucky in that we rotated our people to different teams, to keep them sharp. I managed developers, but still installed servers, and applications, as well as networking, in a 50 Billion dollar company. I also did a lot of things in Phillip Morris, when they were 500 billion. I was the go to guy for technology and worked with the CTO, which helped.
@waxen scroll @hollow marlin I just want to work. I'll pull cables to manage global teams. I really just want to work. I'm easy....
@signal mantle Securitas datacenter security
get paid for checking people in and reading reddit
lol, maybe a little more technical. If you stop moving you die.
Headed to the gym... You guys are great... Have a good day...
Just remember, hire someone to take the interview for you and cover your mouth so they can't tell while you're on video. That's big brain moves ๐
@rocky badge ill do one for you
Lol

Any FreeNAS & NextCloud people around and able to help?
I setup NextCloud with SSL from this guide - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvmxl30pC6Y
The SSL isn't working, and I can't access the service outside my network ๐ฆ
This video will demonstrate how to install Nextcloud Plugin and enforce HTTPS.
DO NOT USE NAT for nextcloud network. Use STATIC IP or DHCP.
How to fix NET::ERR_CERT_INVALID: https://youtu.be/E4HGVmloO8g
How to SSH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDiFAuNVrTU
CLI Text File:...
@mellow heart that looks like a tutorial for self-signed SSL certs. You need to install the public key on your computer that you want to use to access it. If you want HTTPS from anywhere you need to get a free SSL cert from letsencrypt
Do you have a domain?
yeah, that's expected unless you port forward
Do you know netoworking basics?
like what NAT is?
I know how to port forward
I'm a web developer so I know some things
but not stuff I wouldn't deal with when making a website
so you port forwarded? (I personally wouldn't recommend this for security reasons without some sort of authentication though a reverse proxy or a VPN)
Sorry for my lack of knowledge
so you port forwarded? (I personally wouldn't recommend this for security reasons without some sort of authentication though a reverse proxy or a VPN)
@peak cloak I don't know what this means lol
I just want to make a DropBox like system for my family
I'm using an old machine I had laying around
when you port forward you are forwarding requests to nextcloud directly. Then the nextcloud machine does the authentication (password to access nextcloud). A reverse proxy w/ some sort of authentication middleware can be an additional layer of security
Is it something I need to worry about for something simple like this that's just meant for family use?
It can fine for a bit, but I wouldn't keep it as a permanent solution
If there is nothing sensitive, it should be fine
Nah, just videos, pictures etc
plus I would isolate the nextcloud machine from your LAN
Okay, clearly I don't know enough about networking to do this
What are my options?
The goal here is this
I may be overcomplicating things, but I guess I'm just a bit strict about security. You don't need to these things but I like to.
To have a NAS so I can offload recorded videos to save space on my gaming machine. To allow access to family so they have personal dropboxe - and most importantnly, setup Plex so you can watch videos in a specific folder if someone wants to share recorded gameplay that is too big for Discord
I had this all working before, but I switched to a larger HDD and now setting it all up again it doesn't work
Is there someone I can pay or get help from to walk through this?
You can get it setup, but it wouldn't be THAT secure.
So you have the machine port forwarded, is that correct?
@mellow heart just put freenas on it
It has FreeNAS
then use the plugin directory to install nextcloud
That's what I did
I had port forwarding working before switching HDD @peak cloak
you can then consider, maybe if you want to get more savvy
because done properly, you'd go with some linux distro, and then install the software manually
because you dont need freenas to do what you are trying
Let me check
If you want to not care about dhcp
^ just setup a static ip
give the machine a static IP, and then make sure the router's DHCP pool is not in that range
most dhcp servers on home routers, you can set the range of IPs it gives you
or some routers can map a static ip
yeah
you can also do static leases
where the dhcp server just remembers the MAC address of the device
@peak cloak ever seen ipfs?
The InterPlanetary File System is a peer-to-peer hypermedia protocol designed to make the web faster, safer, and more open.
this is a cancerous router
I think I'm just too stupid for this ๐ฆ
see if you can find DHCP somewhere
The server is directly connected via wire
its probably in "advanced"
I've helped someone on a Verizon router
It's under advanced - port forwarding
Wait, what am I trying to do here?
@hallow nimbus did you see ๐
How can I tell what port Next is on?
its probably on 80
I was pinged ๐
I finally got off of shitty cable a couple of weeks ago lol @hallow nimbus
Port 80 is the standard http port
How many gigibyes ๐
this is on WiFi ๐
@mellow heart webservers run on port 80, HTTP. For HTTPS people use port 443
gigabit ๐
You got gigabit ๐
Jealus
only 600mbit?

I'm going to try reinstalling the plugin
Still good for WiFi when the AP is only 3x3
@mellow heart wait
I don't know what's going on ๐ฆ
And it's not even in the same room
chat is moving too fast
@mellow heart do you know the current ip of your server?
yes
then you dont need to reinstall nextcloud
I can see the NextCloud client
Datacap @rocky badge ?
How do I make it accessable outside my network?
nope @hallow nimbus
That's the main goal
@mellow heart so your public IP, is pointing to the router
@mellow heart currently, the router doesnt know what to do with data on port 80, so it just ignores it
Thats how i like to see it @rocky badge
by port forwarding, you tell the router to forward traffic on port 80, to port 80 on a local IP
that local IP, is the one of your server
@hallow nimbus And it's cheap ๐
Imagine having a datacap 
And I get multiple WAN IPs
I haven't ran into a port that's blocked yet
22, 80, 443, 25565, 19999, 8443, 8080
HEY: get rid of that DNS server
Like this?
That's all I've tested so far
Lmao @tame carbon ๐
@mellow heart yeah.
@hallow nimbus firewall rule for the local FW, was also applying to my routed subnet
@hallow nimbus so the dns server on my /29
yeah..
@hallow nimbus I have 3 IPs right now
@rocky badge Why even ๐
I have 9, total, 1 WAN and a /29
OOF
@hallow nimbus why not
Tru
Doesn't work ๐ฆ
@hallow nimbus only costs me additional 16 euros/month for that /29
Last time it had a port like 8282 or something
500Mbps on residential not bad
plan is 250/250
a better upload than Spectrum 10Mbps
@hallow nimbus only costs me additional 16 euros/month for that /29
@tame carbon Not bad
plan is 250/250
@tame carbon I have 250 down 25 up feking ziggo
I want more up
๐
And more down
๐
500Mbps on residential not bad
@rocky badge Not bad at all
@mellow heart you can put the port for the public IP on a different one, but then you also have to put that in your browser
abusing that unlimited Google Drive @hallow nimbus https://blob.rocks/q8r0jgKDRY.png

@mellow heart you can put the port for the public IP on a different one, but then you also have to put that in your browser
@tame carbon That's what I did before
