lean pebble
While he is connected to my server
I know how to use sshfs just don't see it as easy as just connecting to ssh and do anything there
tame carbon
... ?
lean pebble
I never used tools except ssh till my studies started
lean pebble
I'm not transferring
tame carbon
SSH can do tunnels, filetransfers, shell
lean pebble
Downloading directly to my server
tame carbon
Yeah, with sshfs you can turn any ssh host into a kind of network share
by mounting the remote system into your local one
lean pebble
Again you need to have better internet than adsl man
tame carbon
why?
lean pebble
My internet barely can download games and use zoom at the same time
tame carbon
if you don't open big files, it doesn't use a lot of data
file listings cost almost no bandwidth at all
lean pebble
Or downloading any file for be more accurate
tame carbon
if you are using SFTP to manually put watever.txt on your remote host
sshfs is much easier
especially if you have multiple files
lean pebble
But I'm not haha
tame carbon
then you are only using a small subset of the ssh features
lean pebble
I'm downloading directly to my server and editing there
tame carbon
its more than just a terminal
lean pebble
Ik but I don't need more than that
I love network drives but I can't use them normally .
I have storage server in germany and my upload speed is not even close to 4Mbps
tame carbon
@lean pebble I used to be on 4mbit down 0.5 up
and used linux exclusively
sshfs worked just as well

@lean pebble thats just the side effect of poorly maintained copper lines

They just suggested me a router that is at least fast enough
but I got my own gear here

thats like the best its been
the speed
i get 50 to the internet
and locally that hard drive can do 100
so idk wats the bottle neck
the router?
lean pebble
Are you connected with wifi or cable while transfer
lean pebble
Ok

Are you sure pc connected at 1Gbps port and your network drive to ?
lean pebble
What drive is it ? Nas or external drive ?

external
lean pebble
Connected directly to your router or you usb port ?

It is connected to the usb port in my router
but i wouldnt expect that slowness
should i?

it's kinda nerve-racking when you are one character away from breaking your system

The funny part is I checked that is the letter of the new SSD but forgot to check the system one
In the worst case it was copying the shitty windows
Now testing the os upgrade on the backup drive
Usually in not a big fan of doing this shit
@peak cloak btw in the upgrade the network speed is great
So weird
tame carbon
@quiet delta all you get from us here for 'good' consumer networking gear
is mikrotik
They require a bit of knowledge on how to configure
but they are very reliable, have a lot of features
and above all, they are affordable.
@quiet delta all in one solutions are generally not that reliable
You could get a router & seperate access point
for 200-300 quid, you could even get multiple access points
I set someone up with this recently
With this router: https://i.imgur.com/XTi3ACE.png
and these wifi access points: https://i.imgur.com/4Kx8TMA.png
He had three
The router acts as a controller for the access points, so everything is still managed from 1 device

does anyone know what i can do to prevent double nat with my home internet system? bear in mind i do not know much about this stuff, but i have been disconnecting in the middle of zombies games on cold war and have searched every inch of the internet trying every solution i could find. until i realized it could be because i have a modem connected to a router (the one im using) and another router is connected to that one as an access point. I am trying to figure out how i can configure them to work correctly. I have heard i can bridge them, or set the third router to ap mode. can anyone help me with this?
primal ice
@shell moon modem --- to router wan port - dhcp nat all that wonderful stuff ---- second router / wifi AP , disable dhcp plug into the 4 port switch do not use the wan port - wan port equals nat.
shell moon
@primal ice if the second router is in AP mode will dhcp automatically be off or associated with the main router?
peak cloak
it should be
primal ice
it doesn't need to be AP mode - but yes putting into AP mode basically turns it into an unmanned switch.
shell moon
it was plugged into the wan port aswell so i put it in the 1-4 ports like you said
this may sound stupid, but i have a wifi extender attached to the second router. will this affect that?
peak cloak
wifi extenders shouldn't
primal ice
nope
peak cloak
unless they are really badly designed
shell moon
okay so plugging the ethernet from my nighthawk (main router) into the linksys 1-4 ports should open my nat more right?
primal ice
you will only be using nat on the blackhawk then.
shell moon
ok so no double nat
primal ice
correct
shell moon
okay perfect, that is atleast if that was the problem the whole time
peak cloak
You only get one ip address from your ISP, that one ip is not enough for all your devices, the router does something known as NAT, to allow that one ip to service a lot more devices. The problem is that your devices are no longer reachable outside of the local network. When you double NAT, you are NATing both your public ip and a private IP to more private IP's. By having your second "router" NAT you are breaking up the network, computer A is not able to communicate with computer B if they are connected to the two routers separately. Usually when you have one home network you want it to be completely flat, with no seperate lans.
shell moon
You only get one ip address from your ISP, that one ip is not enough for all yo...
Thank you, that makes a lot of more sense now

@waxen scroll I was told a story by the network administrator. He said upper management requested that all computers in the school building be set to power off at 8pm every day. Since implementing this policy for about a year, hard drive failure is through the roof. It was estimated that 150 hard drives were replaced. On top of that, 12 server hard drives were failing in critical systems. Just yesterday, the net admin received overnight shipments of 3 hard drives and installed them today.
I wonder how many other stories there are about the maintenance of these computer systems
He told me all the servers didnt get updates for a full year, too.
waxen scroll
hmmm but was the power savings worth it?
little schooner
If they asked me, it would be clear to say that replacement costs outweigh the power savings and that we shouldn't use that policy
instead, power saving mode would be better
these intel pcs sip power when they are idle.
But coming next year, we are ordering ssds
And I will be part of the process this time.... well, I hope.
If its ssds, then I'd be okay to implement the power saving policy
but hard drives?? no...
I made a big effort to document any problems I face at work and their resolutions. So far I have 15 different entries available for reference. Its awful to have to spend time re-fixing an old problem. It should be referenced and be searchable.
waxen scroll
you need a promotion
little schooner
I'll find out by december-end
waxen saddle
Sometimes funky games are played with regards to money buckets. For example, it may be acceptable to pay more for hard drives than the savings in power usage because they come from 2 different money buckets.

Any thoughts on using Ubiquiti devices for a home network? Thinking about a Dream Machine Pro, AP-AC-Pros or BeaconHD's.
waxen saddle
I use Ubiquiti Unifi at home. Simply fantastic. Though, I use the older gear... Unifi Mesh AP, USG, USW, Cloud Key Gen 1
peak cloak
bit expensive and I've heard of ubiquity stuff being in an eternal beta
the only thing from ubiquity I have is an er-x and I hate it now
silk hare
Originally I would've used Open Mesh, but Datto aquired them and I would prefer to have a local controller that doesn't have a monthly payment.
peak cloak
yeah of course
waxen saddle
It works very well and is rock-solid. My only beef is that I can only have 1 external IP with Unifi.
silk hare
Although I am an Elite Datto Partner. I work with UniFi, Meraki and Open Mesh/Datto devices.
Monkey, lucky the dream machines now have a built in cloud key so thats one less thing I would need.
peak cloak
oh nice, I'm not too well versed in the newer ubiquity stuff, I've only used the edgemax software
maybe their newer stuff is better, but I'm always on a budget and all the unifi stuff isn't exactly budget
silk hare
Yeah well I think it really depends on what you're after too, a simple solution like Google Nest WiFi is great for the average consumer. However, if you want to be using VLANs, DPI, IPS/IDS, and other complex controls just for kicks, that UniFi starts hitting the spot.
peak cloak
mikrotik is nice for cheaper stuff
I want to get the hex S
can do more things than the er-x
silk hare
I am unfamiliar, I will need to take a look into those.

I ditched unifi for my site 1 and use engenius ap. So much more stable than the FlexHD
Nothing but stable connections and working working working
It actually has working 802.1x too
802.1x with the FlexHD would sometimes fail for no apparent reason
silk hare
Lucky I am in the country side so we don't have anything more than 750Mbps down. So WiFi 6 isn't really a major concern at this time.
I however will keep that in mind with using Flexs.

The uap ac pros work fine
I guess the flex line is just flexing the shortcomings of unifi

hey I need some help with setting up some network shiz...
I have my PC connected via wifi, but I want to get hardwire because PS4 Remote play is shit on wifi, seeing as my room with my PC doesnt have any ethernet and I cant move my pc closer to my modem, would a moca adapter work? I have a coax port in my room and in the room with my router, a powerline adapter wouldn't work as my room and router are on separate circuits.
If moca is decent enough, is there any major downsides? Also what kind of 2 way moca bridge would you suggest? My router would probably need an adapter too. My internet speed is fine over wifi but when I try to do remote play and shit its choppy as hell, and apparently hardwiring the pc or playstation fixes the issue, hence my conundrum.

Cat5e that's not CCA grade is fine for up to 2.5Gbps
Higher spec isn't going to magically make things better unless you're doing 5 or 10Gbps at which point Cat6 is good for up to 100m or 55m respectively or Cat6a for 100m for 10Gbps

@nocturne kraken if you want overkill get fiber
And use sfp media converters
There is almost no limit on fiber
Single mode fiber can do more than 400G with the right equipment

Single mode can do terabits
peak cloak
Yep with mux/demux
clear igloo
even multimode can do 400Gbps without issue although bidi transceivers aren't on the market yet (that I know of) so you're limited to multi-strand MTP/MPO cables
thick minnow
how much it cost to place fiber across 5 km (3miles) if its possible?
clear igloo
The fiber itself is probably going to run around $1000
To have someone else bury the cable, probably many thousands more. To do it yourself? The cost of whatever permits you'll need and time
clear igloo
Yep with mux/demux
800Gbps and beyond transceivers are in the works already which will just use single pair SM fibers as well but yes, today for terabit you'll need mux/demux
clear igloo
Yah, the spec is in revision now so probably another year or two before release at best but it's going to use the same QSFP-DD cage as 400G

i want to ask again. why my directional outdoor antena have much weaker signal, than default antena on the router, thought, he has faster speed connection by short time?
tame carbon
@thick minnow you sure you got the right antenna?
thick minnow
you mean right frequency
tame carbon
Yeah
There's double and quad antennas
has to do with the length
may have to adjust transmit power
thick minnow
i have 1800-2600 MHz antena and my closest transmitter is at 2600h
thick minnow
Tx power?
thick minnow
antena gain 17 dbi
tame carbon
thats a lot
@thick minnow do you have a phone?
There's an app you can install on android
called Wifi Analyzer
allows you to see the relative signal strength
of multiple APs
Swap antennas, see how that affects signal strength
thick minnow
we did that and it didnt change, till we get the antena inside
tame carbon
@thick minnow do you have a rough sketch of the layout of the coverage?
and maybe see what channels you are using
what have you got currently deployed?
I can't form a complete picture of the setup you have
are you sure you aren't just trying to use 5GHz over that antenna?
but havent noticed?
thick minnow
i was said in the shop that the closest one have that bad frequency
but how can i check that?
about my setup... antena 1800-2600 Mhz 17dbi is connected to the D-link DWR-921 Router with two connectors SMI, then from my router to my computer
-the simplest setup
tame carbon
you can usually set the channel in the wifi config somewhere

Yesss. Finally I'm on my last paper for internship class where I can go full verbose-mode to explain my experience with the networking equipment and get an easy A.
My last two papers were forbidden to talk about anything related to the work I did

My router is being wack so it was offline last night but I just checked it like now and it was online
So I was like nice I have internet now so I connected to it on my pc
And then it had a stroke or something because before even loading one chrome tab it just went bloop
Anyone know why this problem is happening
I have unplugged it and plugged it back in
peak cloak
No clue
Could be you
Could be ISP
Anyone have any good reading/articles/videos/documentation for learning the more advanced part of ssh. I know how to login with password, but never messed with keys. I don't want to go into it blindly without knowing how it works under-the-hood.

@little schooner most of the advertising for VPNs are irrelevant too
https is enough. nobodys gonna take your bank info on a public network

most of the threat is on your own work laptop where they install their own CAs and hijack https for popular sites
proxy service is cheaper in most cases and just covers your torrent client 😄

vpns add another link which can be breached
like nordvpn had a huuuge breach
made people like actually vulnerable unlike their market claims that they say you will be if you dont have it

pretty stupid to just ip ban someone

depends on the host

VPN is useful to get around geoblocking
can play new games 12 hours earlier on Uplay

yet they dont block users who use VPNs

netflix does

This is my current situation. SATA over usb is painfully slow.

how else would they profitable run a business

geoblock isn't a problem for me, but ok for geoblock I understand vpn's, but for privacy...
narrow spire
talking about geoblock
peak cloak
yeah, I understand geoblock
narrow spire
also if a government agency was after your data then it just checks the server owner and it leads back to you
peak cloak
if you want privacy you use tor
peak cloak
tor + vpn + mcdonalds wifi is
narrow spire
adding more layers is better ofc
but tor is known to have exposed nodes which are in control of governments
they control both exit nodes = you are fucked
thick minnow
We used to use a network extender off of Dunkin’ Donuts lmao
peak cloak
I mean Tor was created by the US navy I think
narrow spire
tor isnt terrible, you just have to be aware of the risks
NSA internal leaked documents state that tor usears are listed as extremists
so if you prefer not to automatically be on a radar for "extremism" for using Tor I suggest VPN use additionally. The VPN provider can't be under jurisdiction of the US as it defeats the purpsose.
narrow spire
according to the NSA, yes
they don't have to and won't tell you though whether you are being closely watched.

CCNA 200-301 Official Cert Guide, Volume 1/2. They are Cisco focused but contain mostly theory but outside the craptastic Net+ it at least puts practicality in

The pain when the reference for something you're reading is "RFC xxxx"

If you have a solid knowledge of routing, then the MPLS for SDN era would give you how routing in SPs work and half the book is on VPNs. While its on a protocol level, they do not differ much from even proprietary VPNS

gotcha, time to amazon

I wouldn't say my knowledge is solid, but hey

this?

Nope. Nope nope nope
I'm already drowning in documentation for the magic that is cuda

Yep. Get ready
Also if you are going to be spending ~$50 on a book you might as well get an ACM.org account for $100/year which comes with an O'reilly membership. It has 99% of all the networking books out there.
O'reilly is basically networking, programming and little sysadmin. Books and videos. If I would have bought all the books I have gone through at $50/each I would be well over $2k
finite kelp
@hollow marlin Probably easy, I know nothing about the topic
I'm wanting to get into cybersecurity, and network security is my main interest
thorny vector
Cybersecurity you say?
finite kelp
Yeah
hollow marlin
If you are just getting into networking grab the CCNA volumes to get a run down first
thorny vector
I'll see if I can dig up any of my stuff. If you want to do networking security, the current industry standard/open source tool is security onion
Its a "turn-key" solution, but it has most of what you need to get started tool wise
(And get the older version, version 1, based off of ubuntu 16.04. Security Onion 2 is hot garbage)

Alright, thank you two

@hollow marlin so 100/year for acm that grants me oreily for all books?
hollow marlin
Yep. Otherwise O'reilly is $500/yr. I got a membership from O'reilly at a discount of $200/yr then 2 months ago it was about to renew when I found a post about ACM and thats the route I took. Its even $75/yr for the first year if you can find the coupon
The only thing oreilly doesnt include for ACM is the live events which I never watched

Use another PC, then put the file/installer on a USB stick. Plug USB stick into this computer, and install driver. Or take back to the repair shop, whatever is easier / more cost effective for you. 🙂

The first motivation for me to learn about computers was when I was a child with a strong desire to play my Disney PC games. The family computer would get malware from time to time and I always had to wait for my mom to call an expensive technician to come and fix it. I disliked waiting weeks or months for a technician to arrive that I decided I was going to play around with the computer to see if there was anything built in that could fix it. My first discovery was the post screen. It had text that read "recovery" followed by a key that reloads the computer with a recovery image saved on the hard drive. I ran that and waited and to my surprise I could start playing games again! But any files and data on it were gone each time and that did not connect with me until much later.
Then from there I think I used AOL internet to learn a little more. And then played around exploring in windows. You can learn a lot from just exploring
I'm glad it turned into a career.
unborn sluice
I always had to wait for my mom to call an expensive technician
My mom taught me about system restore
so that's my solution everytime no matter the problem
so I had to store installers on my usb incase something goes bad again
Example:
I somehow managed to change the file association of executables (.exe)
that they would open in the browser.
So you basically can't do anything since any program would be piped to the browser.
Solution:
System restore

Haha lol I did the same thing.
In windows 7 I changed the CMD by accident to open always in background along with the browser and I couldn't use it until I restored my system 😂

I honestly don't remember how it happened. I've just always played around with the "family' pc and whenever there was a problem I just googled it ( probobly helped that I had internet). Then after my family friend ungraded my psu and gpu I started to want to build my own pc and I eventually did that and it's the same pc I have now ( except with better fans, gpu, and psu)
