So what your saying is that, they aren't just licenses they can also be contracts, guaranteeing service?

#

That would make sense in large scale/mission critical scenarios.

unborn sluice
#

It makes sense in enterprise

#

Where downtime means yeeting your revenue

#

I just love this model

#

I can use the software

#

I can play with it, big companies pay for it

#

Such great synergy

native cradle
#

But to play with the cool software, you need the hardware and if you don't have the hardware you need to buy the hardware, and to buy the hardware you have to have money laying around.

#

me is poor

unborn sluice
#

Cloud exists

#

No excuses

native cradle
#

wdym like

#

demos?

unborn sluice
#

No mercy

#

Unless you're talking about pfsense

#

You could even use an old pc lying around

#

Be resourceful

native cradle
#

I wanna try opnsense

#

wonder what happens if i put it in a docker container

#

though i already have a (UBNT) USG,

unborn sluice
#

I mean you don't need to use full blown dual xeons just to try it out

#

You're not in homelab

#

Come at me gatekeeping homelabbers

native cradle
#

define homelabber

#

"People who set up an over the top, real worldish networking setup in their home"

unborn sluice
#

Someone who does homelab

native cradle
#

well define homelab

#

I have a rubbish Optiplex running 24/7 it runs PiHole, a file thing idk what to call it, unifi controller etc in containers

unborn sluice
#

You don't need phoenix electricity sucking machines

native cradle
#

am i homelab

unborn sluice
#

As long as you meet the minimum requirements

native cradle
#

im basically homelab

unborn sluice
#

Sometimes even lower

#

Might be an overkill just for pinhole tbh

#

How many devices is even using it

#

🤔

#

Even a mobile chip can do pihole

native cradle
#

wdym

#

hold on let me htop

unborn sluice
#

Unless you have 2gb ram

native cradle
#

I had 6gb cause I stole my mums ram but then I gave it back and some more so I only have 2gb

#

KEK

#

well i also ran a bunch of minecraft servers

#

and had a pterodactyl panel running

unborn sluice
#

Then you homeminecrafting

#

Not homelab

native cradle
#

do you like my local ip of node

#

192.168.1.69

#

😎

unborn sluice
#

If it isn't dynamically assigned it's not fun

native cradle
#

it is manually assigned 😦

#

It came with a Pentium but I put a C2Q in it. The Optiplex was like $90 AUD and it is a SFF one.

unborn sluice
#

Is that a VM for pihole

#

Ikr

native cradle
#

No thats the whole node

unborn sluice
#

I need to make sure

native cradle
#

no vms

unborn sluice
#

How do you run your Minecraft servers then

native cradle
#

wdym???

#

i dont, but i did.

#

when i had the 6gb ram

unborn sluice
#

Uhh what

native cradle
#

why did i set my Portainer password to okboomer

#

im weird

#

this is all that i have running

tame carbon
#

okboomer

#

here's another good password:

#

yourefired

#

or

#

maga2020!

native cradle
#

dont even ask it was just the first thing that popped in my head

tame carbon
#

both of those were previous passwords of US president lol

native cradle
#

here you can see all the MC servers I was running

#

OHHH

#

Thats right

tame carbon
#

both times his twitter got hijacked

unborn sluice
#

What's maga2020

#

Am I too old for that reference

native cradle
#

Your calling yourself old but you have an anime pfp

tame carbon
#

Wow really?

unborn sluice
#

Ah yes discord broke

tame carbon
#

FUCK

#

you serious?

native cradle
#

lol

unborn sluice
#

Someone sent a message from 1970

tame carbon
#

you cant speak the name of the US president

#

because its censored

#

yes

#

xD

#

lmfao

unborn sluice
native cradle
#

OMG

unborn sluice
#

What is this

tame carbon
#

fuck

#

I'll just

#

cite

native cradle
#

FUCK is not censored but

tame carbon
#

Dutch security researcher "just tried it for fun"

#

and was surprised, that it worked

unborn sluice
#

Fuck is not offending

#

The president is

tame carbon
#

lol fuck, imagine your name not being PG-13

native cradle
#

Why is

#

censored

#

please

#

can we discuss this

#

it hurts my head

unborn sluice
#

No

#

This is no longer networking if we discuss such

native cradle
#

oh tru

#

oops

unborn sluice
#

Security breaches still is

tame carbon
#

@unborn sluice do you know what newspeak is?

unborn sluice
#

No

tame carbon
#

a controlled language of simplified grammar and restricted vocabulary designed to limit the individual's ability to think and articulate "subversive" concepts such as personal identity, self-expression and free will.

#

From George Orwell's book: 1984

#

1984 also gave us words such as thinkpol

#

thought police

#

like @stable ice

native cradle
#

i have been wondering what this was

#

the other day i realized it is the washing machine 🤣

#

wait

#

wait

#

wtf

#

the highlighted devices are connected via wifi

#

but they are listed as connected through lan or some other ap i don't know about

#

uh oh

#

uhhh

tame carbon
#

fuck em

#

disconnect

#

clip the modem!

native cradle
#

how on earth

#

ok let me check wifiman app to see if ther are any nearby aps

tame carbon
#

yeah but the AP:port is listed

#

find src-mac

native cradle
#

ok there are no other nearby wifi networks so it must just be a bug

#

i was thinking maybe i accidently had some other ap up when testing and messing about but no

tame carbon
#

@native cradle those three devices sit on the same interface as your mums pc

native cradle
#

It's definitely just a glitch

south flame
#

Hii
I am making a multiplayer online game with my friends. I want to ask you about online game server for hosting. Can anyone suggest ot tell names of some servers pls .

peak cloak
#

so like cloud servers?

#

digitalocean, linode, azure, AWS, google cloud

waxen scroll
#

azure

untold folio
#

bruh belle delphine was on chad's and maxmoefoe's podcast

#

ok this is actually huge going to put it to listen

tame carbon
#

@south flame Digital Ocean and Linode offer affordable hosting in many countries

#

for dedicated machines, I always look towards OVH

#

OVH provides servers with high clockspeed, and DDoS filtering for many common games

#

Though these are rather expensive

south flame
#

thanks a lot @tame carbon

tame carbon
#

beast. I managed to help someone reinstall along his linux, for dual boot

#

first time that secure boot wasnt a total dick

wanton dagger
#

why do i get packet loss but only when i play fortnite specificly

arctic hedge
#

should i up my internet from 100 gbps for 400 gbps?

pale ridge
#

Do you get packet loss to Fortnite or in general?

clear igloo
#

If you're getting the option for 400Gbps internet and not 400Mbps I want to know where you live

pale ridge
#

I am not even certain ISP sell 400G internet connections

#

there is 0 chance in aus

#

i have seen 100G internet ports

#

Also I have not seen a consumer grade 100G option let alone a 400G

#

Cisco 400G QSFP-DD they do make one just 20k for a cisco one or 5k for a generic

#

you would also need a suitable spec device to plug it into

#

Nexus 9316D-GX they are only like 100k

#

@arctic hedge totally man best 100k you will spend

clear igloo
#

9316D-GX are like $30k depending on where you source it from

pale ridge
#

list? USD?

clear igloo
#

USD, yes

pale ridge
#

aus my bad

clear igloo
#

Ah, rip

native cradle
#

@tame carbon OVH by far has the best pricing if you just need a plain jane VPS or Dedi. They have rubbish websites that are slow and you get redirected between 10 different websites with different designs and domains and the TOS will be in French but they are really cheap for the performance. All the other bigger cloud hosts are for app/software development with specific features to make app/software development much easier and you pay hourly so they are more cost effective in SOME cases.

#

On Google Cloud you will pay $26/month for what costs $7/month on OVH.

@hollow marlin hello. I would like to advertise bgp over my dsl line to you. Please respond????

hollow marlin
#

Let me guess you also need full tables on your single homed connection?

waxen scroll
#

Please

#

My pfsense can take it. Also what's an AS number? Is that important?

#

Can't I just run it without that?

#

This pfsense guide has 65000. Can't you just let me use that? What do I even pay you for

hollow marlin
#

Sorry Im going to need that in 4byte ASN. Once you set it Ill advertise it to the public

waxen scroll
#

Rrrrrreeeeee

pale ridge
#

not certain if this is a Joke or not!

#

You are going to run into MTU size issues for a start

hollow marlin
#

Its definitely a joke. MTU would not be an issue

pale ridge
#

if there is a miss match or a less MTU in the path it would be

#

unless you enabled mss

hollow marlin
#

Thats all handled in the TCP handshake

pale ridge
#

it is not

hollow marlin
#

MSS most definitely is

pale ridge
#

You need to enable it, it is not on by default

#

well in cisco lan

waxen scroll
#

It's just a prank, bro

pale ridge
#

ip tcp adjust-mss

#

i know just taking it to far 🙂

hollow marlin
waxen scroll
#

im always taking it too far with @hollow marlin

#

i tell him about very hard problems and see if he solves it

pale ridge
#

I am always up for a good problem

#

🙂

#

I ran into massive issues with Jumbo frames and BGP when doing a DC mirgation

#

turned out a link we paid for which had jumbo enabled and paid for did not support jumbo

#

causing BGP to failover it

#

was a nightmare

waxen scroll
#

i have a new problem today @hollow marlin

#

someone blew up two sites, backed out months ago and want me to look at it

#

figure out why

#

with no logs from the night

#

@pale ridge what size company u do networking at

hollow marlin
#

@waxen scroll how'd they manage to break the sites?

waxen scroll
#

site A has one router w/ BGP to WAN and a LAN core with two circuits to site B which has dual router to WAN and the same core

#

if site A WAN goes down it takes the LAN path to site B's edge and exits there

#

so they were migrating to new cores in the LAN and as soon as they moved the circuits on A site with the A wan down, both sites died

#

so the question, without logs to view, is how/why

#

i think i found why but i have to lab to verify because theres a hole in the logic

#

on the core they do "default info orig" on the ospf process

#

on the BGP process they import OSPF's routes

#

i suspect the B side got a default with a low as-hop for that reason and selected it.... but notice how i didnt say "always" was in the command

#

if the WAN was down, where did the default that was advertised across come from

#

that redist is on the new equipment

#

the old equipment doesnt have that

#

if it did, i would suspect issues

#

a-sync routing

hollow marlin
#

If the B WAN was not taken down I am curious if they are using defaults for the eBGP peer?

waxen scroll
#

the core has an eBGP default because the router at the site is a different as

#

but the as path is like 8 long

#

if site A injected a route from OSPF the path is 1 at site B core

#

@pale ridge see? hard discussion. dont get me started on control plane policing

hollow marlin
#

Well BGP shouldn't redis the default from OSPF without itself having default-originate set. Just curious what took preference and took the WAN peering down

waxen scroll
#

hm you're right. ill have to look again... they have to be sending it at some point cause its a backup path

#

i dont wanna login to work right now tho

wanton dagger
#

why do i get packet loss but only in fortnite, nothing else

pale ridge
#

@waxen scroll only a small one 5k staff

waxen scroll
#

hmmmmmmmmm

#

thats medium-ish

wanton dagger
#

@unborn sluice y

unborn sluice
#

Y not

wanton dagger
#

cant argue with that

#

gg

peak cloak
#

how are you measuring packet loss?

pale ridge
#

the last company I worked for had 50k staff

waxen scroll
#

last company i worked had 300k

#

new company is probably more like 8k but the network isnt less complex

pale ridge
#

do you have a diagram of the issue? sorry visual learn

wanton dagger
#

@peak cloak there is an ingame thing that says and also i used some site called packetlosstest.com BUT i dont get it when i use ping google.com in cmd

#

idk i might sound like an idiot

peak cloak
#

are you using wifi? and what internet medium is it? (DSL, Cable, Fiber)?

wanton dagger
#

pc to router to modem

#

ethernet

unborn sluice
#

last company i worked had 300k
monkaS

#

is that a fortune 500

#

how big is that

waxen scroll
#

yeah top 30 i think

#

the bulk of that network was copy paste since most of the locations were small

wanton dagger
#

facts

peak cloak
wanton dagger
#

but yes

#

i does also show on that

peak cloak
#

what's your internet speed?

unborn sluice
#

The website looks legit ngl

peak cloak
#

isn't ping a bad indicator

unborn sluice
#

more legit than ookla

peak cloak
#

yeah, but the server on the other end, isn't icmp last priority

#

ah ok

hollow marlin
#

Pinging a DNS server is still not reliable though. The problem is 10,000s of servers are pinging and some will get dropped just do to state tables

native cradle
#

What a truly incredible website

pale ridge
#

Cisco website seems like it is still mid redesign tbh

pale ridge
#

out of interest has anyone here has a proper look at SDN in the DC?

#

like an ACI type setup

#

or Cumulus Linux?

native cradle
#

Anybody heard of the brand Grandstream?

#

Their APs seem pretty good for the price.

tame carbon
#

wat

#

@native cradle I was in the beta program for OVH gameservers

#

back in 2014

#

first affordable servers that came on the market, with layer 7 filtering for minecraft

#

finally, be able to dodge DDoS attacks from skids who got banned

native cradle
#

nice

tame carbon
#

@native cradle they also do that ghetto hosting

#

Kimsufi

#

but Kimsufi sucks

#

I've had hardware issues on two occassions

#

and time to fix, is bad

#

they don't offer RAID, only SW raid

jaunty talon
#

I guess you get what you pay for with kimsufi :D

#

Since it's/was owned by OVH and sells their lowtier servers!

tame carbon
#

you mean last-gen servers

#

cus it was mostly old crap that they rented out

jaunty talon
#

last-last-last-last-gen ;)

tame carbon
#

@jaunty talon affordable xeon hosting, now with DDR2

little schooner
#

@native cradle I recommend engenius

#

It works without buggy updates breaking it like unifi

vital glen
#

what is 'best' hw or sw firewall ?

waxen saddle
#

TrilleX, Depends on your use-case.

peak cloak
#

pfsense is a firewall

#

OPNSense

#

untangle

#

never used any of these

vital glen
#

surfing on the web, gaming, running pms

peak cloak
#

@vital glen look what I said, also why do you need a dedicated firewall?

vital glen
#

so my pc isnt open to internet

waxen saddle
#

I’m not sure what pms is, but you are probably fine with the firewall on your current router. Do you have a router?

peak cloak
#

um, don't you have a router?

vital glen
#

yes, but gonna replace it

#

crap router

peak cloak
#

then you already have a firewall that's blocking all requests from WAN -> LAN

#

plus NAT

#

so in order for something to reach you internal network you need to port forward

vital glen
#

know that, but gonna replace it, gonna throw it away

peak cloak
#

ok, every consumer router has a firewall for basic use

#

blocks all WAN -> LAN traffic

vital glen
#

i know, but this router cant handle 10G

waxen saddle
#

Whoah

peak cloak
#

you have a 10G internet connection?

#

or just want a 10G internal network

vital glen
#

not yet, but i have ordet it

peak cloak
#

then either your ISP provides a router or you need something like this https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm

#

that already runs routerOS which has a firewall

#

although that router only has 1 10gig port, not one out

vital glen
#

dont like ISP router ^^

peak cloak
#

10 gig is expensive

#

also I wouldn't myself reccomend 10 gig

#

just for internal networks

vital glen
#

i will pay about 40 dollars per month

peak cloak
#

yeah, but you will bascially never use that whole connection

vital glen
#

maybe not

peak cloak
vital glen
#

have seen it

peak cloak
#

the equipment needed to get 10 gig is expensive

#

you may be oaying 40/month, but you need to buy an expensive router with maybe a switch, and 10gig NIC's for PC, AND run new cabling if not CAT6a already or fiber

vital glen
#

yes, but i only need a switch with 10 ports so maybe it will be less expensive

#

have cat 7

peak cloak
#

not a TIA standard, but ok

#

a 4 10gigabit port switch is 149 bucks

#
#

plus using 10 gig over copper is expensive

#

more than using sfp+ fiber

vital glen
#

but rather have copper.

#
  • copper is alrady installed
peak cloak
#

yeah, ik, it's possible just expensive

vital glen
#

yeah, dint wanna rewire if i dont have to

peak cloak
#

a 10G sfp transveiver is 76 bucks

#

and it's only over 80 meters

#

this has 2 10G ports

vital glen
#

The main reason why I switch to 10G is because it is cheaper than my current ISP. To ISP with 10G in their own Fiber network instead of sitting on a so-called Fiber city network

peak cloak
#

I mean, you could just go with 1G for now

#

does that ISP offer 1G

vital glen
#

yes, but it cost more then 10G

peak cloak
#

that makes no sense, but ok

#

yeah, I would not spend the money to make my LAN network 10G

vital glen
#

the ISP with 10G is with there own fiber network. the ISP i have now is on city fiber network. that the ISP is paying a fee to gaun access to the city fiber network instead of uses its own network

#

i live in Sweden, maybe it will make some sense

#

so ISP own fiber cost less and can give more speed then to use ISP over the city fiber network

#

because the ISP have to pay a fee to the city that own the city fiber network.

native cradle
#

@native cradle I recommend engenius
@little schooner Seems like something hard to buy in Australia.

vital glen
#

1000/500 costs around $55 over the City Fiber
10G/10G costs around $40 with ISP own fiber
the priceing is from the same ISP

#

so bying a cheap 10G firewall or just take my old pc "over powerfull" for that end, and buy a 10G nic with PfSenae

hollow marlin
#

The cheapest route is Mikrotik 4011 with a CRS and set it up as a ROAS. Pfsense will get you 6-8gbps at best without specific NICs and heavy tweaking. Personally Id just get 4011 and call it a day. 10G WAN is not worth the hassle

waxen saddle
#

@hollow marlin Quick question because your name came up in a discussion last night. What do you know about the Windows 10 TCP stack that because it is so bad, that offering to have someone look in to VNC to remote in to a computer is an absolutely terrible idea.

tame carbon
#

10G equipment isnt that expensive

#

ahhh

#

@hollow marlin my savior

#

I was just about to suggest the RB4011

#

Though, for 10/10 uplink

#

I would use something beefier

peak cloak
#

yeah, that was the first thing I suggested

tame carbon
#

because the RB4011 only has a single 10G port

peak cloak
#

yeah

#

you could do router on a stick

tame carbon
#

and even if you use a switch

peak cloak
#

but still

tame carbon
#

you still limit yourself

peak cloak
#

the cheapest mikrotik router with 2x sfp+ is 1095 bucks

tame carbon
#

$600

peak cloak
#

huh

tame carbon
#

Brand spanking new

peak cloak
#

I used sfp+ filters

tame carbon
#

@peak cloak its a new router of theirs

peak cloak
#

ah, that must explain it

#

looks nice

tame carbon
#

CCR2004

#

two 25gbit ports

#

and 12x 10G

#

@vital glen ^

peak cloak
#

he said he wanted to do 10gig over copper though

tame carbon
#

forget it

#

fiber is cheaper

peak cloak
#

yeah ik

tame carbon
#

I mean

#

you still end up using SFP+

#

you can plug copper or fiber into that

#

but fiber is just cheaper

peak cloak
#

yeah

peak cloak
#

that's amazing for that price

tame carbon
#

Here's my RB4011 with fiber

#

@peak cloak lol I bought a 1U tray for that

#

used zipties to secure the media converter

#

xD

#

couldnt just pile up the fiber on the ground

#

I think I paid like 8 bucks for the fiber

#

and another 30 bucks for the transceivers

waxen saddle
#

The CAT7 cable he's using is already installed in his location. Going fiber would require re-wiring.

tame carbon
#

@waxen saddle you only have fiber optics inbetween your switches

#

all regular gear uses RJ45

#

if you want to do 10G over copper, you can

#

but I wouldnt do that for the backbone

#

short distances you can do with a DAC cable

#

Direct attach 10G

waxen saddle
#

I dunno how much of a backbone he has/needs on his network. He upgraded to 10g Internet because it was cheaper than 1g, at around $40/month.

tame carbon
#

yeah but 10G wont work over regular gear

#

let alone with consumer routers

#

they will catch on fire >1Gbit

waxen saddle
#

Yep. That's why Mikrotik was suggested. 😛

little schooner
#

@hollow marlin 4011 as the main firewall for Wan?

hollow marlin
#

@hollow marlin Quick question because your name came up in a discussion last night. What do you know about the Windows 10 TCP stack that because it is so bad, that offering to have someone look in to VNC to remote in to a computer is an absolutely terrible idea.
@waxen saddle Yeah there is zero reason to have someone VNC in to troubleshoot TCP stack

#

@little schooner The firewall. With Fasttrack the 4011 should be able to sustain around 10G

waxen saddle
#

Well, not to troubleshoot a TCP stack. The guy wanted to know the best way to remote in to a computer without having filesharing issues or creating individual sessions for each login. I realize my original question was a bit awkard. Sorry about that.

#

I was read the riot act for suggesting a solution that involved the Windows TCP stack and I think you were pinged to school me in my terrible ways.

#

Anyway, thanks for responding mate. 🙂

hollow marlin
#

@topaz quarry i don't think anyone here is saying the opposite. We pretty much agree Windows stack cannot handle 10G+

tame carbon
#

windows

#

this is heracy

#

@hollow marlin I have fastpath disabled

#

and still able to push 10gbit/s

#

but uses lot more CPU

#

@little schooner I use my RB4011 to manage like 5 different networks

#

all hooked up to a single fiber backbone

#

that is plugged into the 10G port of the RB4011

#

I have vlan ports hooked up to the bridge

#

and I can manage them as regular interfaces

#

and my switches can just do switching on L2 with vlans

#

so its like a router on a stick

#

you just have to make sure you enable ingress protection on your service ports

#

so they can only use the default (1) vlan

#

@topaz quarry I tested with bandwidth generator

#

and got the full 10G

#

over a CRS305

#

lol

#

@topaz quarry I helped a friend last night installing windows alongside his mint install

#

so he could play among us

#

xD

#

we laughed so hard

#

cus windows booting

#

took like 1-2 minutes

#

it was older laptop

#

and mint booted in in like 10 seconds xD

#

linux mint

#

its distro

#

very easy to use and lightweight

peak cloak
#

what's the difference between mint and ubuntu?

#

yeah ik

#

I'm just looking for a linux distro to switch to

hollow marlin
#

@tame carbon good to know the 4011 can do 10G without FP

waxen scroll
#

@peak cloak gentoo

peak cloak
#

plz, no

waxen saddle
#

lol

#

Is there anything in particular you are looking to do with your Linux distro of choice? Host servers? Everyday Desktop use? Both? Something else?

peak cloak
#

Just everyday use

#

I'm going to need to dual boot windows for certain things

waxen saddle
#

@topaz quarry Drop it please.

peak cloak
#

Crystal was saying before how pop had bad security

vital glen
#

Cat7 - 10G upp to 100m. More then i need per cable

waxen saddle
#

I've personally standardized on Ubuntu as a kind of "Starter linux". Tutorials for various things are bountiful and it's fairly easy to work with.

peak cloak
#

hmm, alright. Never really used linux as a desktop system, just for server stuff

vital glen
#

Have no backbone 10g hardware for the moment. Gonna uppgrade over time

waxen saddle
#

Oh nice. You already are well on your way then.

peak cloak
#

@waxen saddle who are you talking about trill or me?

waxen saddle
#

You. Sorry for the confusion.

yeah, I'm not a complete linux noob

vital glen
#

Even in cold basement?

hollow marlin
#

We have multiple EX4600 with 16+ 10-BaseT SPFs pepoJuice

vital glen
#

I can use switch that is sfp+ with rj45 adapter. Dont want to re-wire the cat7. Only need 1 10g switch, not a large hone

peak cloak
#

DC's have active cooling, fire suppression, dedicated monitoring; your basement doesn't

vital glen
#

Yeah, all things dont need 10G so. I Washington thinking abort unifi

hollow marlin
#

Running hot =/= chance of fire. You'll either thermally shutdown or power cycle due to excess power draw. Each switch will specify how much power it can output

waxen saddle
#

I wouldn't bother trying to reason

vital glen
#

The 'server-room'/basement has a 16A circuts

#

So it is ratad for 3500w

#

Will look in to that :)

#

👍

hollow marlin
#

I've seen switches overloaded and like I said they'll power cycle or thermal shutdown. The power for the SFPs will draw from other critical parts of the chassis instead of drawing more power overall. If you have seen a switch catch fire because copper SFPs I would say it was due to another reason but I have never seen anyone report a fire due to it.
Even in Cisco/Juniper docs it specifically states the power limits and stability when the power supply is overloaded.
Also no jumbo frames

nova igloo
#

Why dont just use SFP+ ?

#

Copper are more expensive and less efficient than fiber

#

the reason people don't run fiber is because the switches are expensive

hollow marlin
#

Fiber is always the way to go, no one is saying copper is better than fiber

nova igloo
#

yeah

vital glen
#

Dont wanna re-wire everything, maybe later.. but i dont need 10G to everything.. most hw is 1G

#

But some hw are att the same place, so was thinging to use Asus switch, that spilts the 10g to 8 1g lan.
ASUS XG-U2008

Maybe not, but costs me only 250 ish

#

Should I get a Wi-fi booster and connect via ethernet through that wifi extender
OR get a wifi card?

#

booster is cheaper)

#

How to attack Layer 1 network 😄

ionic forge
#

Evening my It friend I come seeking help once again

nova igloo
#

self signed SSL?

#

maybe u need to install it?

thick rune
#

What is a wi-if booster?
@topaz quarry wifi booster

#

wifi extender

#

wireless repeater

#

?

#

they are the same thing

#

so should I get wifi card?

#

instead

#

I cant get a router because its too expensive

#

i just want something good

#

what should i get

#

that was my main question

peak cloak
#

Well what is the problem exactly. Slow networks speeds, short wifi range?

#

There are different solution depending on the issue

ionic forge
#

@nova igloo how would i be able to install it with out shell access?

thick rune
#

speed

#

i have enough range

#

big range

#

just speed

#

i want best speeds

#

bang for the buck

#

i have 5ghx

nova igloo
#

Yeah 5Ghz

thick rune
#

i have 5g

#

isnt that 5ghz

nova igloo
#

no

thick rune
#

ill go check my modem real quick

nova igloo
#

5G means fifth gen. cellular network

thick rune
#

ok it says something about 5ghz

peak cloak
#

well what speeds do you want? You can't get gigabit over wifi?

nova igloo
#

5Ghz wifi means 5giga hurtzs internet

carmine moss
#

if you use the normal wifi of the modem then there is your problem a cheap acces point is better most of the time

peak cloak
#

also if anything extenders hurt speed

nova igloo
#

maybe packets lost?

thick rune
#

i use the modem

peak cloak
#

impossible

thick rune
#

i use wifi speed from modem

peak cloak
#

@topaz quarry give me a sec

#

it's in legacy control panel

nova igloo
#

what u mean u use the speed from modem

thick rune
#

i use the modem wifi nothing else

#

no routers just modem

nova igloo
#

ur modem r sitting on the table and not moving = no speed 😄

peak cloak
#

impossible, you need a router, wheter it's intergrated into your modem

nova igloo
#

yeah the 3in1 stuff right

waxen saddle
#

Ah the router is built in to the modem.

peak cloak
#

nevermind

#

I thought it was here

carmine moss
#

what is the moddel number on your modem router combo?

peak cloak
nova igloo
#

that baby usually shit, their cpu power suck @thick rune

peak cloak
#

nope

#

I don't think windows has db

nova igloo
#

40th network channel?

#

should be less than 2

carmine moss
#

@thick rune the best thing you can do is plug a router in your modem for wifi and the best thing is if it's not in the basement from the info you said

thick rune
#

i found something and it says channel: 5ghz80mhz

nova igloo
#

use Powerline ?

thick rune
#

i cant use cables

carmine moss
#

well for 60 gbp you can get an router that is better then what is in the modem build in for sure if the modem is 5 years old or older

thick rune
#

im 1 floor and 1 wall away from it rn so 2 walls?

#

its hitroin hub aswell

#

110mbps download

carmine moss
#

well is the floor made of concrete eyespy

thick rune
#

uhh

#

carpet and that plaster stuff

#

not concrete

#

like kinda wood

#

ok

#

but now my question

#

what do i get

#

the card or repeater? cable or no cable

nova igloo
#

lol theres only two type. either conrete or wood 😆

thick rune
#

or extender

#

idk

#

ok so ill stay with that but honestly which do I get?

nova igloo
#

@thick rune why put ur modem in the basement?

thick rune
#

no

#

living room

carmine moss
#

well still powerline depends if he is on the same power circuit also

nova igloo
#

yeah powerline cost about 50$

thick rune
#

this is a powerline adapter

carmine moss
#

also are you the only person on the wifi depends on the speed

nova igloo
#

i think 500mbps r enaf

thick rune
#

also are you the only person on the wifi depends on the speed
@carmine moss no 2 other people

nova igloo
#

@thick rune yes it is

#

i think get the one which include wifi repeater would more worth?

thick rune
#

should I risk it or just stick with a wifi card and connect to my hitroin hub

#

ok

#

k

carmine moss
#

it really depends on how the circuits in your house are if powerline works if you you could try an router wich would be the main thing but getting more then 110mbps is hard on wifi only reason to get a router is if you are on an older modem router combo

thick rune
#

so when i move to my new house I should put my modem inside my room or in the attic above me and get a router plop it right next to the pc and thats all good?

carmine moss
#

if you can have the modem in your room you can just plug a cable into your pc

thick rune
#

oh thats it? and i get more speeds?

carmine moss
#

cable into the modem is more speed

#

it's always more speed direct cable then wifi

thick rune
#

ill try to get a newer hub modem and i hope i wont get 35ping constant

carmine moss
#

35ping is low on wifi

thick rune
#

it is?

#

i thought its high

peak cloak
#

do a traceroute

#

will tell you ping to your modem

thick rune
#

yeah

#

ok

#

its saying numbers

#

oh okay

carmine moss
#

yeah that is good ms

thick rune
#

i dont want to mess with that because last time i tried that it just broke everything

#

i had to get the internet guy over to reset everything

#

k

#

also what happens if i choose both?

#

9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1

#

oh

#

so having 2 is good?

#

if one fails other helps

#

k

#

ty

nova igloo
#

why use both lol

#

privacy?

peak cloak
#

Fail over

#

I have 2 setup in my router

nova igloo
#

i mean round robin the dns

Has anyone had any experience with a extender for a comcast modem/router thing? My friends parents wont get a new modem/router, even though I suggested a new one

thorny vector
#

@rigid mason Extender? What kind?

nova igloo
#

Lets call it 3in1 BlackBox start from today ! 😆

unborn sluice

we would call it combo units start from today

comcast modem router thing

🤣

nova igloo
#

Anyone have idea why High Pressure Nitrogen Gas Tank are so rare

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo if you want a lot of nitrogen in a can

#

get LN2

#

or get a nitrogen filter

#

I mean, air is mostly nitrogen

nova igloo
#

What if i say i want it for Fire Suppression System

tame carbon
#

those use argon

nova igloo
#

not CO2?

tame carbon
#

no

#

FIre surpression systems in datacenters and such

#

thats mostly argon based

normal ginkgo
#

*grab

nova igloo
#

Oh but it is expensive to concentrate them rite

tame carbon
#

argon is used in a lot of engineering contexts

#

Its nonreactive

nova igloo
#

Yeah Inert Gas

#

Actually i want to design a Passively Refill's FSS

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo the major reason to use argon over co2 has to do with physics

#

if you shock a pressured system with co2

#

by releasing it

#

co2 will solidify to form dry ice

#

which can prevent the equipment from functioning

#

argon does not do this

nova igloo
#

Oh yeah, like canned carbonated drinks

tame carbon
#

well

#

ever emptied a gas can?

nova igloo
#

good point , never think of that

tame carbon
#

and it gets Really cold

nova igloo
#

yeah i got what you mean

tame carbon
#

the way argon extinquishes a fire is the same as with co2

#

it displaces oxygen so the fire dies out

nova igloo
#

The molecules have very less heat energy when in high pressure environement

tame carbon
#

yeah thermodynamics

nova igloo
#

Do u think Nitrogen will solidify too

tame carbon
#

solid nitrogen?

nova igloo
#

I mean liquid

tame carbon
#

liquid nitrogen is like -192 degrees

#

dry ice is only -72 or -92 I forget

nova igloo
#

Do u think nitrogen will work as fine as Argon, maybe not if considering the Mass/Volume

tame carbon
#

They often use mixtures

#

Im not a fire expert

#

I know how to light a BBQ

nova igloo
#

It's kinda dangerous if the gas are odorless

tame carbon
#

?

#

there's a fire goin on, I think you got bigger worries

nova igloo
#

people can fall into coma if theres leakage

tame carbon
#

yeah, ofcourse

#

thats why people evacuate a building

#

when there's a fire

nova igloo
#

drawback

tame carbon
#

you got bells and alarms beeping

nova igloo
#

Use Water in Datacenter 😆

#

you got bells and alarms beeping
@tame carbon I mean leakage

tame carbon
#

oh

#

well

#

you got pressure sensors on that system

nova igloo
#

its another story haha

tame carbon
#

and it has to be serviced by a technician every couple months

nova igloo
#

and it has to be serviced by a technician every couple months
@tame carbon What u do for living

mostly internet services on servers

nova igloo
#

Oh cool my dream job

tame carbon
#

I just know

#

that I hate doing user-level stuff

#

GUIs, websites and the likes

#

meh. I suck at that

nova igloo
#

U mean the UI n UX?

tame carbon
#

yeah

nova igloo
#

give that to front-end devops and web disgner lol

tame carbon
#

yeah

#

I write APIs for them

#

so they can use it, and I can cleanly handle requests

#

@nova igloo most frontend people suck at things like databases & SQL

nova igloo
#

What size of company will need your kind of back-end

#

Shouldnt be much rite

tame carbon
#

well, currently I am finishing up my degree, so I am working at a place that does webdev

#

but I've worked in telemetry industry for many years

#

public infrastructure

#

like sewer monitoring

#

and traffic control systems

#

power grid management as well xD

nova igloo
#

Oh, u work for companies that build and deploy websites for others

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo yeah its business to business

nova igloo
#

Saas services

tame carbon
#

mostly yeah

#

that telemetry company had like 50 instances

nova igloo
#

How come u going to finish degree when u have many years of telementry experiences

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo because I applied for a job there

#

cus i got bored with school

#

xD

#

now I am finishing up formalities

#

get that piece of paper

nova igloo
#

I see, u stop for few years then continue ur study

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo I have 10 years to finish it up

#

If I get my degree within 10 years

nova igloo
#

10.... years??? WTH linusWhat

tame carbon
#

all my student loans are voided

#

that's 17k I wont have to pay back

#

@nova igloo usually only takes 4 years

#

but I took 3 years break

#

I have more field experience than any of my other classmates

#

which is kinda funny

nova igloo
#

I thought u gonna say u the one who teaching the Lecturer XD

tame carbon
#

I was that guy yeah

#

I just hate school assignments

#

they are boring

nova igloo
#

Thats cool man

#

I only about to finish my Diploma in IT semester 1

#

haha

tame carbon
#

and if something bores the fuck out of me

#

I have 0 motivation

#

@topaz quarry is it mayhem

nova igloo
#

Yeah assignmnts that are not related are damn bored

tame carbon
#

?

nova igloo
#

Crystal do u think back-end developer market like u are saturated?

unborn sluice
#

there is always room for another good develoepr

nova igloo
#

I see

unborn sluice
#

If you got the skills to match, why not

#

as long as you like what you are doing

tame carbon
#

@nova igloo if ur good

#

you can get a job anywhere

#

there's a lot of frontend developers

#

good backend developers are hard to come by

nova igloo
#

Because i see that there's not less of students getting in to IT courses

#

even though they nvr ever touch computers

unborn sluice
#

There are articles and data that show that

#

we used to have people who are great at computers take these courses

#

but in the past years (or decades) we have people who never coded before and expecting to learn it all at uni

#

It sounds like I'm gatekeeping the developer scene, but it's what the data says

nova igloo
#

Im going to Computer Science specialize Cyber Security for my degree

#

not sure is it a good path

#

quite worry

unborn sluice
#

ask @topaz quarry if it's a good path

#

he'll give you first hand experience

nova igloo
#

lol that emoji, that makes me more worry XD

#

I know rite

#

Degree are only the base for u to grow on

#

lol, so insisnt

#

na engineering's calculus will kill me b4 the end of world

#

But calculus for cs is less complicated what

#

Why u will say cs will get sacked

#

They dont?

#

Computer "Science"

#

they should bracket it XD

#

im kinda interested in BioTech too, which edit Genome DNAs

#

What about cyber security

#

white hat hackers

#

I'm in Diploma in IT currently, but most of the courses are same as the CS

#

Oh u Master holder

#

okay even PHD soon

#

Do computer engineering considered as Engineer haha

unborn sluice
#

your degree will probably be worth as much as my toilet paper
@topaz quarry I agree on this point, I sound like a douche and degrading. but i've seen people with degrees that can code things but aren't engineers

nova igloo
#

or secretly become computer engineers to get their work done
@topaz quarry what u mean secretly lol

unborn sluice
#

@nova igloo I'm a computer science major, now I gotta learrn hardware myself

#

Well I think the computer science is different from USA

#

that's the thing I want to learn that lel

#

we only got to logic gates and sht

#

fucking tflops

#

I want to create 4bit cpus

nova igloo
#

What the hack u guys talking about , i have to idea😆

#

don't you demorgan me on a wednesday morning

wait I should add that to the things I say randomly

nova igloo

What u mean??? @unborn sluice

unborn sluice
#

when you understand what a look ahead adder is
@topaz quarry I do understand, and it broke my mind about divisions

#

I still hate complements

nova igloo
#

Maybe i can get two degree if i want, "in the future"

unborn sluice
#

my masters would actually be compeng net sec

nova igloo
#

then why go uni for that 😆

unborn sluice
#

People can literally find jobs using online courses

#

pleasure yourself

nova igloo
#

yeah i teach myself alot

#

i laern maths , physics, chemistry, biology myself when im secondary school

#

and learn the cool stuff on your own
@topaz quarry But companies wont trust what u said rite

unborn sluice
#

I learn stuff that my job doesn't need

nova igloo
#

Thats hobby lol

#

Actually theres not much differences between CS and IT

#

when comparing the modules

#

x86 programming hehe, my seniors say thats monster

#

From now "diploma" to finish "cs degree", if no retake, it will be 2024 something

#

if Computer Engineering it will be 1 extra year

#

yeah just started, 3 more weeks to finish diploma semester 1 haha

#

Na diploma in IT holder, can strightly go Degree Level 2 either CS and CE

#

@topaz quarry people died in class during lectures about O-notation

#

"wtf is log"

#

yeah

#

most people never had calculus in highschool

#

I did

#

xD

#

@topaz quarry we have two types of math

#

math A and math B

#

a is more focussed on statistics and everyday calculations

#

math b is algebra, calculus trigonometry

#

etc

nova igloo
#

ah shit, probability distribution. tht scks

tame carbon
#

I cant do probability calculations

#

idk

#

but calculus and such

#

I even lack some knowledge there

#

I had to teach myself how integrals work

#

cus I needed it at work

#

lol

nova igloo
#

Can tell me whats the usage of Logarithms ?

tame carbon
#

classic explanation is

#

to find the exponent

#

x^7 = 25

#

what is X?

#

log7(25)

#

I think natural log is log2

do u need these logic to programming a complicated codes?
