ohhh okay thank you
ruby bramble
Why usb 3 tho?
tame carbon
@ruby bramble oh, no dont look at that specific one
ruby bramble
Is it a 2.5G?
ruby bramble
Oh lol
icy comet
wait wot, is there issue with USB 3.0?
tame carbon
@icy comet nah, the USB 3.0 ones can do gigabit ethernet
icy comet
ohh
tame carbon
1000mbit/s instead of 100mbit/s
ruby bramble
No just it’s unusual for an Ethernet adapter most are either usb 2 or thunderbolt
icy comet
oh
tame carbon
the dongles I have were saved from the dumpster
corporate insolvencies are great to get your hands on cheap tech :)
when their biz goes tits up, their equipment is up for auction
and most people at those auctions are interested in furniture, not hardware.
ruby bramble
I have 68 adapter in total I just need one more
tame carbon
@ruby bramble main reason for having a bunch of these dongles
is setting up a tap
if you have two of them, you can use your computer as a network tap
tame carbon
My laptop has only a single port, so I use a dongle to get a 2nd one
ruby bramble
I have 8usb ports on a homemade laptop soooo? 9 Ethernet ports?
tame carbon
you'll run into usb controller bandwidth limits
tame carbon
no idea
icy comet
actuall no
tame carbon
they don't list what chip is even inside the device
icy comet
oh
tame carbon
I mean, if you are to believe what they post on their site
then sure.
5$ is not a lot, but if it works, who are you to complain xD
icy comet
yeah
tame carbon
gigabit interface chips, like the actual integrated circuits, aren't that expensive
ruby bramble
you'll run into usb controller bandwidth limits
They all have full 5gb
icy comet
oh
tame carbon
you can get those for 1-2 usd
icy comet
ohhh
tame carbon
its just part assembly, and cabling that costs a bit more xD
but a shocker, $5
Made in china 100%
icy comet
xD
ruby bramble
They all have full 5gb
Could I transfer files at 9gb?
Or even 18gb
Or if 5gb adapters exist full 45gb?
ruby bramble
Would it work tho
tame carbon
@ruby bramble really depends on the hardware
like, for example the raspberry pi has a usb 3.0 controller
but cannot reach full bandwidth
due to cpu constraints
ruby bramble
Well it works with flash sticks
ruby bramble
So could I do 45g
tame carbon
@ruby bramble probably not
ruby bramble
sataIII can do 6G
There is a 10gb usb c too
tame carbon
most computers have one or two usb controllers, and a hub built in
so you may get 4 or even 6 ports
but they are all on the same controller
ruby bramble
It’s a normal mini itx mobo
ruby bramble
Well I’m not gonna do it cuz my servers only do 10gb

waxen saddle
They can, but they refuse. It's why I'm dropping them the moment Fiber comes to my area.
Also, they specifically don't give their reps access to any information about upload speed. I'm certain they don't even mention it in training. The past 3 years when I've called in, the rep had no access to info about upload speed. One didn't even know what upload was.

voice is complex as hell. its no joke
hollow marlin
They want core engineers to go through the course as the trunks ride over the network we touch, so they want us to at least have a familiarity with it. I still get pulled into voice issues and trunks but not a clue what happens once it hits the switch

i once helped put a call center and call recording lab in and just the software side was like 30 VMs that have to talk to eachother and it was a web of stuff

@hardy python considering everything, you get paid alright. Free healthcare and dental, free training, and as a junior enlisted free housing, so all of your income is essentially disposable

@hazy needle APN settings, on your phone? or a dongle?
Its usually a URL-like string of text you have to configure somewhere
hazy needle
i have the sim in my router so i think for pc?
tame carbon
@hazy needle nah APN settings are part of the LTE endpoint itself
so probably the dongle/modem
hazy needle
so i have to do it on the modems website?
tame carbon
yeah, on the webconfig
@hazy needle did the ISP provide you with this dongle?
because those APN settings are usually there by default
hazy needle
nop just the sim i had to get a 4g suported router myself for it
tame carbon
ah ok, did the ISP give you the APN identifier?
hazy needle
nop only the sim ^^
tame carbon
it's similar to internet.apn.epc.mnc012.mcc345.3gppnetwork.org
or something like that
hazy needle
when i asked why my speed is not what i payed for they told me to reset that apn stuff
tame carbon
@hazy needle yeah just means you need to wipe the existing APN, and reconfigure it with theirs
but this is something they should email to you, or is on their website
hazy needle
they did say i can log into the website to find a optimimal em
a good tower or something
guessing that will show the apn code thing
hazy needle
but i am just having trouble following there directions as there options are different than what i see
i have seen that option on my phone before yes

is the dongle from some other carrier?

Steam is NOT a good indicator of network speed. Steam downloads compressed files, uncompresses them on the fly, and tells you the speed at which you are extracting the files. For example, you download a 1MB compressed file at 1MB/sec, Uncompressed it is 1.5MB. It takes you 1 second to download, and steam reports you are downloading at 1.5MB/sec.

mellow knoll
does somebody know something about port forwarding?
tame carbon
@mellow knoll why ofcourse
mellow knoll
i tried it yesterday for my mc server and it didn't work
ivory birch
tame carbon
@ivory birch right click the drive on the left side and click properties
tame carbon
nah, I ment https://i.imgur.com/SpCtsYB.png
that lists you the device name
and if its a partition you only use on windows, ntfs is fine
ivory birch
i dont see the brand of the disk
tame carbon
@mellow knoll can you show us the configuration you made in your router to port forward?

oh
mellow knoll
<@!395968695509188618> can you show us the configuration you made in your router...
i did it with TCP and UDP same 25565 mc port (sorry it's in german)
tame carbon
@mellow knoll ok, and where did you configure the local IP?
mellow knoll
tame carbon
@mellow knoll I assume this is your public ip? https://i.imgur.com/IH5Dgvm.png
and the other one you blacked out at the top, is the local IP ?
mellow knoll
on top the ipv4 is my pc's ip adress i think
there is no public ip in the screen, idk if i even had to censor it ^^
idk that much about that stuff

Hi everyone, sorry to bother you, I hope I am in the right channel.
I have a simple question, at my work we have to use internally VNC to remote controls some computers, and it seems that the bandwidth cap of VNC is around 20mb/s...
First question, is it true ?
Second question, if yes, is it possible to change that and let it use more than that ?
Thanks a lot for your help
tame carbon
@sick glade 20mbit is about the most you'll ever get
protocol has some limitations to it
10mbit is like what you typically see in terms of max traffic

Cursor lag is related a lot to the latency of the devices - you can get it better “feel” by using some of the vnc forks like tightvnc and realvnc but only if both sides can cooperate
There’s also more up to date remote control protocols depending on the host
Vnc is mostly used because of its broad compat with so many operating systems and even things like hypervisors and some hardware consoles - so if the VNC is off a hardware console and it’s turning e.g. a vga video signal to images you are kinda out of luck to improve cursor lag
But if it’s a software running in an OS like Linux you can try any number or alternates

Well I tried installing Windows 95 and 98 but after i get passed the installation and putting in the product key I get a “insufficient memory to initialize Windows” error but i have enough RAM in my pc and put 2GBs for it. I need to find the config file for it but i dont know where the directory is.
I got Windows XP installed but not those two

I mostly play with unix variants, and managed to get a Mac OS to run somewhat wobbly. For Win95, you might have to dial down the memory to 512MB or lower. It could be the OS is confused by seeing too much. This article looks promising... http://thecuriousgeek.org/2012/03/installing-windows-95-in-virtualbox/

hi guys anyone can help me? having problem witch asus RT-AX55 getting this message in router: Mar 2 11:54:41 dnsmasq-dhcp[2631]: failed to write /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases: No space left on device (retry in 60s)
tame carbon
router is out of disk space 
@lean pebble ^ 
@solemn wyvern reset factory settings
@solemn wyvern its trying to write a dhcp release to its internal storage, and ran out of disk space
tame carbon
yeah asus makes great routers 
tame carbon
@muted wraith
lean pebble
I never had an disk space issue in my life in router thats pretty fucked up
Even my ISP router manage it better
lean pebble
xD
hollow marlin
I never had an disk space issue in my life in router thats pretty fucked up
Mikrotik's are known for their crap storage in most models
tame carbon
yeah but dont write log files to disk
and ur good
I wouldnt rely on the hAP ac2's internal storage
lean pebble
Now I have mtik but I don't see any issues with my logs there
tame carbon
but I am pretty sure, regular operation of rOS
lean pebble
I have only 1 log xD
tame carbon
barely writes any blocks to disk
and the RB4011 has like 512MB
and it has a vacant pcie slot inside
hollow marlin
Yeah logs by default are just in memory. But when it comes to adding additional packages or wanting to save certain logs its a PITA
tame carbon
can you remove packages from the installation?
hollow marlin
With netinstall and downloading all packages
Adding/removing with certain installs will usually cause problems
tame carbon
I never thought about storage issues, since I use the RB4011 for all the important stuff 😅
@hollow marlin did they add a torrent client to v7?
someone told me there was a beta version with one
like 2 years ago
hollow marlin
Id have to see what was added in the latest releases
tame carbon
Its a bit of an insult
but it would be the ultimate stealth seedbox
$feds think its that IP. but actually its NATed in the tik xD

quasi bramble
If my pc has 2 1Gb nics and I run 2 cat5e cables to them from the same router is there software that would allow me to get 2Gb transfer speeds between the pc and a nas hosted by that router?
tame carbon
depends on the router and network card
There is a standard for this
its called Link Aggregation
quasi bramble
Perfect lol thats exactly what I was talking about just didn't know it had a proper name
tame carbon
You need 802.3ad support
that's the spec for ethernet link aggregation
wikipedia says most post 2000 cards support it
just a matter of having a switch that supports it
@quasi bramble if you are using windows though, I will have to crush your dreams
since only windows server has support for NIC teaming
quasi bramble
Damn haha this is just theoretical right now anyways, my network is bottlenecked by a 1Gb connection between my router and the switch my pc is connected
quasi bramble
Not a real nas, just usb external drives hosted by my router
tame carbon
between the router and the switch
quasi bramble
Yeah need to get a router with 2.5G or higher ports
tame carbon
dont bother with 2.5G
its a stopgap
makes no sense, 10G is not that much more expensive
ideally
you just have a high speed switch, where your storage is connected to
and the router is just a 1G port somewhere
if you don't have faster than gigabit WAN, then it doesnt matter
left port is 1G
quasi bramble
Yeah maybe someday lol my homelab is just cobbled together consumer products I've picked up cheap on kijiji or from value village right now. I just use it to play around with, don't actually need 2Gb for anything at the moment
tame carbon
I still some 48 port switches I need to get rid of lol
I plan on keeping maybe one
they have 4x SFP 1.25gbit
and 48x 100M
I plan on holding onto them, since I can configure them with vlans. And this is ideal for if you have to wire up a bunch of IoT stuff
low bandwidth
quasi bramble
Oh true lol was gonna say 100M is pretty slow I think my only 100M device is my PS2
tame carbon
yeah but the microcontrollers I've used before
only the pi is gigabit now
the pi 4, that is
pi 3 on 100M is fine
and the breakout boards with SPI ethernet interfaces
those are 10M
but you can plug those on an arduino
import ethernet and tcp library
and with a little copypaste, you have a very very crude webserver up
who cares about HTTP spec, as long as you can properly do a reply to GET /wat HTTP/1.1
quasi bramble
What do you run on those web servers?
tame carbon
sensors
like for example a weather station, or light controller
dimmer controller
just DIY it
its not that hard
quasi bramble
Oh damn thats cool, might have to look into those
tame carbon
Hobbyist scene is quite accesible
arduino is a nice platform to learn on
they basically have a C++ standard library with a bunch of useful functions
take a look ^
that's a full program for one of those microprocessors
its an 8 bit chip that runs at 16Mhz xD
quasi bramble
Yeah I used arduinos a bunch in uni, never with ethernet though
tame carbon
yeah but its quite easy
I'm more a fan of the STM32
those are cheaper than arduinos
and are much faster
there's libraries out there, that basically reimplement the arduino environment for this chip
so you have all the standard functions, plus some extras
and these things cost like $2
it has two SPI interfaces
quasi bramble
Might have to make that my next project lol, sounds like a pretty useful toy and its actually in my budget
Right now I'm mostly into CFW video game consoles
tame carbon
if I ever go back into this
I want to make an artnet controller on an embedded system
I've written software to do this with a microcontroller before controlling the datalines with a serial protocol
but modern implementations of this, use UDP over ethernet
so I thought, cool, that I can do on a microcontroller as well
right now i need to finish my degree, then I can tinker more
quasi bramble
Just fyi you could make a dope PS2 LAN setup with one of those switches if you find a couple consoles for cheap, CFW lets you run games streamed from a NAS over ethernet at basically full speed
tame carbon
so artnet is basically, a standard for controlling lights on stage
but custom smart home solutions can also make use of this :)
its basically a spectrum of single byte values
so dmx 512 was, 512 channels, with each 'fixture' or value, between 0 and 255
it signals this over those cables with 192KHz
but artnet is the digital equivalent
The protocol can address 32768 DMX "universes", each of 512 channels, limited by bandwidth.
its like vlans, but for disco lights
quasi bramble
Wait so 512 channels so one dmx 512 can run 512 fixtures?
tame carbon
@quasi bramble yeah, so the way this was implemented
if you had one of those moving heads
they could have a channel for X-Y, rotation and Yaw
then you have for example 3 more channels, R G B
dimmers each from 0-255
and maybe a stobe speed, or another channel for a pattern
stars
or circles
sometimes they can do cool things
quasi bramble
Ah okay I was picturing like home light fixtures, that thing makes way more sense
Are the lights expensive?
tame carbon
depends really
the big ones
can cost a couple thousand
I have like an LED wash
with a bunch of high power LEDs
and this laser
50mW green laser
quasi bramble
What do you use them all for?
tame carbon
@quasi bramble I used to throw house parties during highschool xD
I had a PA rig
oh ye
and an 800 watt smoke machine
xD
quasi bramble
Thats dope, I could totally see picking up a few small lights like that to make like mood lighting for a twitch streaming setup
tame carbon
during the school stunt after we graduated, I completely smoked out the auditorium xD
good times
@quasi bramble signalling is pretty fast
so if you have some sort of FFT program running
you could even do things like EQ lights
one of my friends from those psychedelic festivals, had this in his living room
I went over to his place couple years ago
spent the weekend, and his couch, and living room setup was just the greatest xD
big 4k tv in the middle, and then stuffed animals all over and rgb lighting all across the wall xD
they had rigged up an FFT chip to a microcontroller, which then went to the LED bars
Fourier Transform is just some clever math
but this chip just gives you like 8 or more bands
each corresponding to a specific frequency range of the sound
and analog voltage out
arduino reads it, and then just uses that to signal the LEDs
yeah here we go
I found the paper, https://i.imgur.com/IdRxdhB.png
sullen creek
I brought some of these for live events and just brought some Martin MAC250+ fixtures and its way worth the extra £500 just for the features and support you get, and then you get 5 pin DMX

Guys can anyone tell me why epon onu fibre optic is hard to find and that I wasn't able to find a branded one here in india
Most of the epon onu found here are the same product imported from china but with different names
Is there no EPON Onu by companies like tplink or D-Link or anyother brand
peak cloak
@gusty zinc wdym
rocky badge
EPON = ethernet passive optical network
peak cloak
Does your isp allow a different ont
rocky badge
ONU = optical network unit
gusty zinc
Does your isp allow a different ont
Yes
peak cloak
Because usually on pon they don't
peak cloak
Yep
rocky badge
They're using EPON instead of GPON and ONU is just the device kind
Like how AP = access point
ONU = optical network unit
gusty zinc
But all the ONU available be here are all not so reliable
peak cloak
Why not use the isp one?
gusty zinc
Why not use the isp one?
It doesn't have many basic features like portforwarding
peak cloak
Isn't an onu not a router
gusty zinc
It's comming as a combo
peak cloak
Optimum here does the same stupid thing and they don't let you use a different box

Here they let you use a different box but EPON doesn't give you much option
peak cloak

That's why we have fios, just a simple fiber in ethernet out, no bs
gusty zinc
peak cloak
gusty zinc
That's why we have fios, just a simple fiber in ethernet out, no bs
That would be nice
So why EPON is it cheaper or anything
peak cloak
No clue
gusty zinc
Guess I'm stick with this then
gusty zinc
So GPON is the better one right ?
peak cloak
gusty zinc
So to make work easy for them they choose EPON
rocky badge
It's cheap
peak cloak
Yeah
rocky badge
And allows one link for multiple subscribers
peak cloak
For an isp it's easier
rocky badge
Since it's TDMA
peak cloak
Less cabling
gusty zinc
It's cheap and gives good speed
gusty zinc
I'm getting 60mbps up and down at 749Rs a month
Thanks @rocky badge and @peak cloak for giving me some ideas
peak cloak
@rocky badge didn't you get like multiple wan ips once?
gusty zinc
This is how the web UI looks like
And there is not even an option for portforwarding
peak cloak
Check if you even have a public ip
rocky badge
<@236237361703288842> didn't you get like multiple wan ips once?
I still do
peak cloak
If they cgnat you can't port forward
gusty zinc
Check if you even have a public ip
Would it possible for you to tell me how to check it
peak cloak
I still do
Did you spoof macs?
rocky badge
no
gusty zinc
Check what the WAN interface ip is
No menus are available
peak cloak
Nothing in status?
gusty zinc
peak cloak
Show the status page
peak cloak
Seems like bad software and therefore bad security you could easily break into it
gusty zinc
But due to the problems between the 2 countries india and China it is not available here now
gusty zinc
https://youtu.be/B8DjTcANBx0
So this is a more serious issue than I thought it would be
gusty zinc
Better take precautions I guess

Less cabling
Not as much less cabling but less hardware. Fiber is cheap, but labor for additional runs and AE requiring 10-20x the amount of hardware is where the cost difference makes GPON the clear winner for residential
rocky badge
With active Ethernet, you're basically connected to a dedicated port (iirc?)
hollow marlin
Also EPON vs GPON comes down to if voice is going to be used. EPON is just ethernet, GPON uses SONET and GFP to transport traffic which means you can handle non-IP voice traffic
rocky badge
But with GPON you're sharing the OLT with 32, 64, etc other customers
hollow marlin
Yeah AE is basically like a switch
Typically its 32 unless the chassis is close enough such as apartment complexes, sky scrapers, etc. Ever splice is like .2 or .6db of loss and 32 is typically the point when light levels are borderline
rocky badge
Ye
I can also see the MACs of other devices connected to my ISP's network 
Same for DOCSIS too lol
hollow marlin
Pretty normal. Port isolation and PVLANs can be used but its usually stripped down the road when you have multiple customers on the same PON and need to communicate with each other
rocky badge
Yea

🙃 I can't think of a single solitary reason why I'd want to set up a vlan network. That shit is more suitable for enterprise environments.
mighty wind
Came in handy in my last apartment where I only had 1 wire to different rooms and wanted separate networks for IoT and CCTV
lone sun
🤨 People actually trust IoT devices? Hell naw. not in my house.
mighty wind
That's a personal preference but you can control what IoT does and doesn't do if you put some effort into it. You can also do homebrew IoT where you have full control over what the device does and doesn't do.
Sure its easy to open yourself up to attack and having many different brands or old unsupported devices is a problem especially with cheap devices being produced by no name brands that don't put any security or support on their end but that's just a reason to do some research and buy more mature products form known companies.
lone sun
I wouldn't even trust the big name brand ones. I've read too many stories of shit getting hacked to put that kind of trust in computing. I'd rather stay old school when it comes to my house appliances.
