[thick minnow]

not if i buy sc cable

[clear igloo]

AH, correct

[thick minnow]

but sc cable i can only find in 20 meters

[flint matrix]

just buy non terminated cable

[clear igloo]

You can buy LC cable and then SC-LC patch cable for a few bucks

[flint matrix]

and pigtails

[clear igloo]

and a coupler for each end

[thick minnow]

i dont even have the slightest idea how to terminate fiber

[flint matrix]

its easy

rent fusion splicer and cleaver for the day, make all the cables you need

[clear igloo]

Yah, I wouldn't mess with that, plus you either have to buy all the gear or hope someone can rent you one

[flint matrix]

its not hard, a literal idiot can do it, the machine aligns for you

[peak cloak]

$$$

[clear igloo]

If you're making 1 cable it's probably not worth it but depends on the area, OP is in the Netherlands so not sure what rental would look like there price wise

[flint matrix]

yeah if youre making 1 - lol thats a terrible idea. if you are doing your whole house its worth it

[clear igloo]

Yah, they only need 1 cable

Otherwise I totally agree, terminating yourself would be better instead of couplers and whatnot 😄

[thick minnow]

yeah i dont know where to rent one of those

[flint matrix]

telecom rental companies

theyre all over

well - i cant find the consumer ones for rent, the prosumer/professional ones are like 200-300/day

but you could literally sit there and knock out 100 premade cables and save a ton of money

i suppose your success rate would be marginally better if you are inexperienced with the higher end models, better tolerances, etc

but after the first 10, the only thing that youll screw up is forgetting to put the stupid heat sleeve on and having to redo it

What is the best option for ensuring optimal connectivity between my desktop upstairs and my nVidia Shield downstairs? Right now I am using powerline but is that ideal? I've heard people say powerline sucks etc etc and media over coax-ethernet is better

[thick minnow]

does the sheild and the desktop have an ethernet port?

[peak cloak]

Moca is much better than powerline

Best is running ethernet of course

[spare elk]

Hello!
I have a Huawei Switch S5720-12TP-PWR-LI-AC, an dI’m trying to reset it.
I don’t have an RJ45 to Serial, nor does the web interface work (the thing with pressing 6s on the mode button). So I’ve looked around, and found this post (https://forum.huawei.com/enterprise/en/need-help-to-reset-the-switch-s5720-12tp-li-ac/thread/668803-871) so I’m not even sure if we can reste it.

[tulip rivet]

does length of cable factor into connectivity strength?

[clear igloo]

No, just know that 100m is the limit +/- a few feet

[tulip rivet]

that's wild

[clear igloo]

not really, it's a dedicated link but when you compare it to something like single mode fiber it's nothing but a drop in the bucket in terms of distance

[undone basin]

I don't know if you should have Huawei

[spare elk]

My dad gave it to me, so I can thinker a bit with network stuff.

[peak cloak]

length not really, but with unshielded ethernet you want to avoid running in parallel next to high voltage lines

interference will degrade your speeds

[waxen scroll]

How

[peak cloak]

it does for me

I can get gigabit over iperf locally with a short cable with no interference vs a long cable next to electrical lines which gets me around 600

[tulip rivet]

yeah how fast actually should i expect my LAN connection to be

like surely i should have no stutters etc streaming media on my lan

and on a related note what is the best means of testing lan speed?

[peak cloak]

iperf

[tulip rivet]

ty

[peak cloak]

https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php

get iperf3 on 2 computers

on the server and run iperf3 -s

[tulip rivet]

well the inhome streaming is from my desktop to my nvidia shield tv pro

it isn't anything sophisticated with a server

[peak cloak]

on the client: iperf3 -c 123.123.123.123

[peak cloak]

no, you just choose what computer you want to server to be

server just means something that is accepting connections

[tulip rivet]

ah right, in that case still i dont think i could run that program on the shield

[peak cloak]

prob not

but you could hook up a laptop to the same ethernet port

[tulip rivet]

yeah true just to test

im sure device to device on same network is comparable

[lean pebble]

That's why you have shielded cables.

[peak cloak]

yes, that cable I can't replace tho

without ripping out drywall

[lean pebble]

It's a pretty known thing that electrical lines can interfere network lines.
I had it to.
I switched some cables here at my house to shielded cables but I guess they were suck so I had to reuse my old cables at the end.

[peak cloak]

it's fine tbh

it was installed when the house was remodeled

I was little so I knew nothing really about computers

[lean pebble]

I added those cables I have only 1 cat5e cable that I can't switch

We have alarm with a phone app so it needed internet and it always killed our V.O.D and those hpna / the other one connectivity, so I just connected it to 4G network with a dedicated router to fix it

But our cellular network sucks too so it gets disconnected Everytime and never connecting again untill I reconnect it physically

[thick minnow]

I am trying to set up a true nas server but it is always getting stuck, can some one pls help me

[undone basin]

try turning off secure boot

[thick minnow]

I cant find sucre boot in my bios

[thick minnow]

Found it, and that works. Thanks

[thick minnow]

My tru nas server is showing up with no ip, I have connected it to a functional Ethernet connection. Can someone pls help me

[tidal frost]

Press 1 and see what it says? Seems like network may just be disabled or something? New server i assume?

Nvmnd read further back yea new setup

[coral flower]

So I am currently under a DDoS attack. What should I do? Because I know who did it.

Should I report it on ic3?

[thick minnow]

@coral flower check your duration, and tell me how long it's been active for

[coral flower]

So like 35 seconds

[thick minnow]

if it's really ddos, restart your router by turning it off for 10-20 seconds

[thick minnow]

yeah, 35 seconds, then its supposed to be 217k

[coral flower]

It's static. I would have to call my isp.

[thick minnow]

or do that, and tell them to switch it to dynamic

[coral flower]

I'm going to watch the data a little more.

Because me on the same network connecting to my server PC I get over 180ms connection.

When it's usually ~10ms at the most.

[thick minnow]

it's most likely not a ddos attack if the server has just been started

[clear igloo]

217,000 bytes in 35 seconds is not a DDoS attack

[coral flower]

I mean it's been going on for a while. I just turned it off for a few days.

I also closed the port on the router gateway now.

So it should be fine.

[clear igloo]

217,000 bytes isn't even a quarter of a megabyte, that's not a DDoS attack, that's generic network traffic

[peak cloak]

That's not ddos lol

[coral flower]

I THINK I GOT THAT THANKS.

[tulip rivet]

Hey, I have multiple dsl ports/telephone type jacks in my house, can they be used to connect to my router downstairs?

as opposed to a long ass ethernet or a powerline/moca

[waxen scroll]

https://www.amazon.com/Tupavco-Ethernet-Extender-Kit-Repeater-VDSL/dp/B01BOD8C9W/ref=dp_prsubs_1?pd_rd_i=B01BOD8C9W&psc=1

obviously you'll get DSL speeds over LAN though

[peak cloak]

that's $$$

[waxen scroll]

yeah well its the only solution

[peak cloak]

and not much bandwidth

[waxen scroll]

we used these on a corporate farm for the guard shack

xD

[opal bison]

Hey guys, I got myself a new modem, tp-link archer vr1210v, but I can't login the web page is buggy, only seeing the field for password there other one for username doesn't load

[tulip rivet]

ah okay, still considering my options for optimal LAN speeds for nvidia gamestream, atm i'm on powerline from desktop to router, and ethernet from router to shield

man when i build my own house i'm gonna put the optimal jacks errywhere

[peak cloak]

I put in jacks myself

except for 3 cables which really helped

those go from basement to 2nd floor

basement to 1st floor is easy

[tulip rivet]

i wish basements were standard

internationally i mean

[peak cloak]

in some places it makes sense not to have them

[tulip rivet]

yeah i think itd be one big pond here

[peak cloak]

my network rack is in the basement

[small glade]

found an old article that despite being from less than 10 years ago gave off a strong "retro-future" vibe

"In 802.11ac wave two devices--the next generation of 802.11ac, which will start showing up in 2014--the channels will take up 160MHz of frequency."

why was wave 2 delayed to like 2016 and ofc we didnt see 160mhz until wifi 6

fucking hell found another even more recent article/presentation

peak comedy

https://www.ciscolive.com/c/dam/r/ciscolive/emea/docs/2017/pdf/BRKCRT-1100.pdf the "in 2020" slides

although kinda pissed about 802.11af and ah not getting any adoption because in addition to iot it could have actual network device connection applications in rural areas with no cell signal where someone could be out on a field and they would need to be contacted via like a phone

[plain siren]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11ah

IoT has its own 802.11 option.

Has low power competing with that of BT

900 MHz so its better range

prominent aspect of 802.11ah is the behavior of stations that are grouped to minimize contention on the air media, use relay to extend their reach, use little power thanks to predefined wake/doze periods, are still able to send data at high speed under some negotiated conditions and use sectored antennas. It uses the 802.11a/g specification that is down sampled to provide 26 channels, each of them able to provide 100 kbit/s throughput. It can cover a one-kilometer radius.[7] It aims at providing connectivity to thousands of devices under an access point. The protocol supports machine to machine (M2M) markets, like smart metering.[8]

Like bruh holy shit it fixes thes the biggest issue with using wi-fi for IoT

It DOESNT KILL THE NETWORK

https://planetechusa.com/why-the-new-802-11ah-wi-fi-standard-will-give-z-wave-a-run-for-its-money/

[small glade]

"802.11af and ah"

[plain siren]

2016

[small glade]

yeah thing is ah is a tad too much for iot in terms of throughput imo

[plain siren]

the key gain is the use of license exempt bands

[small glade]

its theoretically almost useable as a normal wlan and could be in countryside settings where you would need to cover an entire homestead property with enough signal to recieve some sort of alert or message about something if theres no cell signal

[waxen scroll]

i hate how flakey zwave is ;/

[plain siren]

the wake/doze system of ah prevents use of it as a proper full blast data stream

Its actually a stand out from the rest of the 802.11 standards because of this

[plain siren]

And the fact its the only one besides LoraWAN that is not in the 2.4GHz busted up range

[small glade]

hmmm well im not saying somebody should watch youtube over it just that it could be used for like delivery of a text message or something

and doesnt wifi 6 have wake/doze / TWT too?

[waxen scroll]

I tried switching my RGB controllers from zwave to local wifi and I noticed no delay in automations

and its very reliable

[small glade]

what in the name of god and all thats holy is this

[plain siren]

I want one

AHHH WHY THEY WANT AN NDA

[small glade]

i already want to hold any 40mhz channel user on 2.4 accountable for their crimes against humanity now imagine if this was real lmao

all 40mhz mode does is clutter up the spectrum more i dont have a single wifi client thats capable of benefitting from 40mhz they all max out at 144mbps rate

[olive plover]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/672815804106145792/868878732381794334/20210725_210002.jpg I terminated my keystone since my ISP wont fix a simple issue im so excited it worked first time

[small glade]

tbh wifi 6 should have introduced 10mhz channels for 2.4 or something to clutter less especially since most everything can use 5ghz these days and 2.4 would be only for edge range

[plain siren]

ok now do it again but this time that sheath needs to be as close to the keystone as possible

[plain siren]

Honestly, I would be the asswipe that says "no, no 2.4G for you, use more AP"

[small glade]

ehh tell that to the countryside dwellers of latvia

[plain siren]

I would

[small glade]

are you supposed to stick an ap in the middle of a field on a stick with an ethernet cable running like 50m?

[plain siren]

yeah

[small glade]

bruh

10 and less mhz wide 2.4g channels is the way to go imo with 2.4 being something thats off by default to not blast in apartments

too bad wifi is kinda a shitshow

[olive plover]

yeah, I kinda thought about that, I was expecting myself to fuck up with the wires. I need to buy a long term enclosure for it

[plain siren]

The fact that there was no decent implementation of auto-tx control to keep from overlapping for shit like multi-family living units and shit is really damn annoying

Time to start lining walls with Grounded Steel Mesh.

[small glade]

wifi 6 does have the frequency reuse thing tho no? so at least aps arent quite screaming over each other but shut up while the other is transmitting. at least theoretically and when both are wifi 6

[peak cloak]

The thing is to have the wires twisted as much as possible

Until the very termination point

The great thing about keystones is that you can have excess and then cut it off

[olive plover]

yeah, I need to redo it when I get a proper enclosure and stuff

[plain siren]

Wall plate?

[olive plover]

I hope its not too bad for someone who never did anything related to networking before

[peak cloak]

Where is it coming from and where is the cable going?

[olive plover]

so the cable is comming from my fiber isp and the jack to the modem was damaged and they wont fix it, since I dont know how to do jacks, I did a keystone and used a patch cord connecting to the router

like my ISP has a long ethernet wire comming from the ground floor to mine, and the jack on my end was damaged so it changed to 100baseT instead of 1GbaseT

[peak cloak]

Ah

@plain siren are ONTs technically modems or no?

[plain siren]

Yeah actually

The technical raw definition is "Modulate" and "Demodulate" and thats what a ONT would do

[hollow marlin]

I wouldn't say it's completely the same. Mo-dems stand for the name and it's converting a digital signal to analog and vice versa. Light is still being sent sent in a digital signal. I think it's technically true though but many disagree

[plain siren]

Light <> Electrical
Digital <> Analog

and actually

QAM

quadrature amplitude modulation

[hollow marlin]

For GPON, yes. For AE, do you consider a switch connected via fiber a modem?

People had the same argument that NICs fall in the same category

[indigo lichen]

sooo

this is the spot for networking help?

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo 😡 https://i.ryois.me/V884owbJrl.png

[indigo lichen]

Your computer appears to be correctly configured, but the device or resource (DNS server) is not responding

this is my issue

[hollow marlin]

Those are actually the phones of the company we bought out last summer We purchased the HPBX portion of the company and Fanvil was branched off

[rocky badge]

lol

[low pond]

Avita or whatever its called is what i see heavily being used

[rocky badge]

avaya?

[hollow marlin]

Avaya, Mitel and Ploycomm are the most popular players

[rocky badge]

At school we use Avaya/Cisco/and random POTS phones lol.

[low pond]

Has to be this

[rocky badge]

The main campus isn't VOIP yet while most other campuses are

[hollow marlin]

We used Mitel for our HPBX until buying the company but now use rebranded Fanvil models. Mitel is rock solid but I don't have much input on the others

[rocky badge]

Fire & Alarm are cellular & POTS

Migrating the main campus to VOIP is a summer project

[low pond]

I always wonder how the equipment where nornal rj11 ports connect to look like, i think POTS is what its called but eh.

[rocky badge]

ripping out all of the RJ11 and running an additional RJ45

[low pond]

Like in hotel's especially.

[rocky badge]

66 block

[hollow marlin]

POTS to 66 block to Amphenol to SIP gateway

[rocky badge]

Paging in the main campus is also still POTS

its not VOIP like all other campuses

Because again, that's a large summer project with a lot more Cat6 required

A lot more PoE switches, a lot of configuring, and shit

@low pond

[hollow marlin]

Config is simple, cabling is not

[rocky badge]

POTS for a wing of the school

[rocky badge]

Importing and configuring the intercom sys tho

Import list of MACs and assign room/location

That's a small IDF

it only connects 6 classrooms

[hollow marlin]

Oh I know how it gets, I've done plenty of hospital POTS work. One of which had 700 66 blocks

[rocky badge]

I think the largest stack is like 8 switches or something

[rocky badge]

one wall of the MDF is entirely 66 blocks

the back wall is teleco equipment

including old shit from AT&T (T1 & DSL)

And the 64 strand fiber coming from the road

[hollow marlin]

I do not know if I have any photos of one of the locations. 3 of the walls being entirely 66 blocks.

[rocky badge]

I think network finally got rid of Enterasys switches

All Extreme now

A lot of the school was Enterasys before Extreme bought them. Then when Extreme bought them, Extreme was the only stuff being deployed.

But EOS doesn't talk and stack with EXOS

[hollow marlin]

Never even heard of the vendor

[rocky badge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterasys_Networks

[hollow marlin]

I know LZ loves his extreme though

[rocky badge]

Yeah school is mostly Extreme

If IT could have it their way, it would be all Cisco

but Cisco is only for routing now. Extreme wireless, switching, security, monitoring/dpi

I wonder what the new IT director is going to do tho

[waxen scroll]

@hollow marlin we had personal TAC people for extreme

new job has them for cisco now

[rocky badge]

My school does Extreme through an Extreme partner lol

[waxen scroll]

ew

[rocky badge]

aka an MSP

[waxen scroll]

i hate when tac is not level 1 and you have to call some other company

[rocky badge]

$$$$$

IT doesn't have that budget /s

[waxen scroll]

then take it out of the critical race theory budget

😙

[rocky badge]

how 'bout football

[waxen scroll]

especially sports.

[clear igloo]

t3h sp0rtz!

[waxen scroll]

@clear igloo every time....

company too cheap to use TAC, uses 3rd party as level 1. Major issue comes up. "No <company> get TAC on NOW"

[rocky badge]

Although, school said Meraki was too ExPeNsIvE :( @clear igloo

[clear igloo]

license costs $$$

[rocky badge]

k12 pricing tho

Meraki can be decently priced with k12

[waxen scroll]

cisco for k12 is like 80% off msrp

[clear igloo]

Ah, I don't deal with that stuff so I've never checked

[rocky badge]

I mean 😳

That's our normal E-Rate discount lol

our internet & metro E is 80% off

[indigo lichen]

hey

[waxen scroll]

do schools still do computer labs with desktops?

[indigo lichen]

my ethernet port on my pc died would a USB Type-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter suffice?

[peak cloak]

They're AIOs here

[rocky badge]

We have them but they're being retired @waxen scroll

1:1 laptops

[peak cloak]

We have a cad drafting room

[waxen scroll]

So what do they do when they use chromebooks and the class needs CAD?

[clear igloo]

Should do fine

[rocky badge]

The only rooms that have desktops are workstations really

For Adobe, Solidworks, Autodesk Maya, etc

[indigo lichen]

speeds be the same and such?

[waxen scroll]

I took CAD in high school lol....

[clear igloo]

Roughly, yah

[peak cloak]

And next year there's going to be a new lab for cybersecurity

[waxen scroll]

i liked it

[rocky badge]

Our Adobe lab is better than our CAD lab

[clear igloo]

Might not push gigabit constantly over long periods but should do fine

[waxen scroll]

Our adobe lab had macs.... i hated them :3

[rocky badge]

Adobe lab as 6c/8c, 16GB of RAM, Quadro P4000/P1000

[indigo lichen]

mines is a 200/200/ speed lol

[rocky badge]

Solidworks lab is like 4c/16GB and some GTX 980 lol

[clear igloo]

Then you'll be fine, USB-C adapters tend to be a bit more robust too compared to USB 2.0 or something

[peak cloak]

They never installed nvidia drivers so they suck tho

[rocky badge]

We had iMacs

We unified our lab to all Dell precisions

With the $75k lab upgrade 😂

[indigo lichen]

im sad the prt died and i dont have the money atm for a new mobo and its out of warranty

[indigo lichen]

can i post a bestbuy link here?

[waxen scroll]

i missed the 1:1 boat completely by like 4 years.... Bringing a laptop to class before that was not allowed unless you had special permission

[rocky badge]

Synology is cheaper and is stable af

[clear igloo]

Looks fine

[waxen scroll]

phones too.... not allowed in class

[rocky badge]

Looking at 8x8TB for 56TB usable

Maybe getting some M.2 SSDs for SSD cache

We'll have to talk to IT about 10 Gigabit though

[low pond]

As someone from India and studies indian cirriculam, that doesn't sound any off to me 😛

[waxen scroll]

rumor is its a legal problem now to ban phones in class

[low pond]

bruh.

[waxen scroll]

"what if theres an emergency" etc

[rocky badge]

Phones aren't allowed here either

[low pond]

its a "standard" to NOT bring phones onto school itself kek at least for CBSE (well, indian cirriculam) and It doesn't even matter only in India, any country, any CBSE powered school follows this "standard" d:

[rocky badge]

nor is BYOD

[waxen scroll]

well yeah, byod bypasses all their stuff

[rocky badge]

I wouldn't mind no BYOD

if the laptops weren't actual garbage

[waxen scroll]

they want to try to block games and all that

[rocky badge]

Who approved 8000, 2c, 4GB of RAM, 64GB eMMC windows 10 laptops

[waxen scroll]

eMMC wtf?

eMMC is fine for a ras pi

[rocky badge]

50MB/s seq read/writes

even lower randoms

[waxen scroll]

i mean for browsing and typing a document it works i guess

[rocky badge]

They even have a M.2 standoff and place to solder a connector

The horrible 42Whr battery barely lasts a day now

After 3 years

[waxen scroll]

does each classroom desk have power?

[rocky badge]

No

[waxen scroll]

OOF

it would cost a fortune to do that too

[rocky badge]

That’s why I like the science labs

Cuz they have 20A + Cat6 to each spot

[carmine moss]

schools here force students to buy business laptops with i3 for 600€ the build quality is good but still not what i would get for 14 year olds at all and before that they need chromebooks for 2 years just a waste. it would be better if they were allowed the windows machines from the start

[waxen scroll]

Probably cause they're cheaping out on the computer management costs

Chrome os probably free

[carmine moss]

it's just dumb what happens here in schools and businesses do this year a government owned place went from i7 4770 vpro 8gb ram and 500gb hdd systems on win 7 to 9600 8gb ram and 240gb ssd and win10

[rocky badge]

I’d much rather have a chromebook

[carmine moss]

and now those i7 machines are in the junk pile when people sell pentium 4 systems for 150€ still with a screen and keyboard but those are also so old

[peak cloak]

each engineering student gets a laptop here

med get ipads

windows got so slow with the HDDs that are in them

there's an m.2 slot

[lime spindle]

any opinions on the wall jacks where it is rj45 on both sides (no keystone)

[peak cloak]

👎

Extra work

Best practice is for in wall runs to be punched down

Not crimped

[carmine moss]

only use is if you run cable that is premade

[plain siren]

1 exception:
When you potentially may be attaching Wall mounted AP's

Or PoE Devices later on such as IoT

of which have a female RJ45

Also I found yall a new toy

[cedar igloo]

What's all your favourite lightweight Linux server distros? I'm looking for something that is security-first and is extremely minimal

Something like the new Microsoft CBL-Mariner but a bit more mature

The main feature I need is a working autoinstall/provision for automation

[undone basin]

So your focus is security

[cedar igloo]

Yes. Something lightweight so there's a small attack surface

[undone basin]

Gui?

[cedar igloo]

None needed

[undone basin]

I would go unRAID but I don't know if that's what you're looking for

[cedar igloo]

Thank you but not really what I was looking for. I am trying to find something a bit more lightweight than Debian or Ubuntu Server

[undone basin]

There is tiny core you need 128mb of ram to run it though lol

[cedar igloo]

Is it still stable/reliable?

[undone basin]

Very. But you have to know Linux pretty well in order to use it because it cuts out many components only the necessary one are there

[cedar igloo]

As long as it has wget/curl and systemd, it sounds like it will be fine

Thank you

[undone basin]

You might have to download it with sudo apt install curl or something like that

[undone basin]

No problem

[peak cloak]

Alpine?

Used a lot for docker images

[hollow marlin]

What device is that?

[cedar igloo]

Possibly. It will be used as a container host only, and alpine seems very minimal so could work well. I assume as it is widely used in Docker Images that it's trusted in enterprises?

[plain siren]

Wio Terminal

[plain siren]

Actually what present said, Alpine is my go-to for container hosting.

And basically everything now

It's literally only what is needed to achieve the task and no needless duplicate services

[cedar igloo]

Sounds exactly what I am looking for.

[plain siren]

And if a docker container with alpine can run things like docker in docker, NMS, home assistant, MariaDB, etc, it can do the same as if it was baremetal install

[cedar igloo]

Does it have auto-provisioning/auto-installation?

[plain siren]

You can do immutable installs and somewhat to that point out of box but it's got many ways to achieve this with a simple Infra as Code platform

The nice thing about it's slim nature is how easy it is to achieve that with minimal addition

Ofc you can get even more granular and higher tier of automated with something like Linuxkit

Which at that point it's like min-maxxing your overhead numbers

[cedar igloo]

I'm just looking for something that can be installed and converted to a template in Packer, then deployed using Terraform

[plain siren]

Alpine.

[cedar igloo]

I'm trying it out now. Thank you all 😀

[plain siren]

I set it up to straight dump the UART/TTL/RS232 On display.

It's dumping the GPS strings from the GPIO pins on back (RX, 5V, GND is in use)

I also got some other fun stuff in.

And this guy too. Which is called the Sipeed Maix Amigo

Wio Terminal can use LVGL, it has Wi-Fi

So for something like a room sensor for temp, humidity, etc + ability to do some some tasks like change thermostat, lights, etc, it's a great cheap per room wall panel

Likewise, same with this bigger terminal.

Which is a whole fucking raspi 4 cm with a nice polished package

So I can run ESPHOME, NodeRed, and/Or home assistant right off it while also still being a wall mounted panel, perhaps interfacing with something like thermostat or alarm panel

The sipeed max amigo is just to be a slightly larger/nicer Wio Terminal option

As I want one where the irrigation control would be with a more purpose driven UI default but still be able to do all the nice things

Another where garage button would be.

Although the Maix Amigo is kinda special

It is built for object recognition

[peak cloak]

Pretty cool

We want to actually install a sprinkler system

[plain siren]

If you're willing to do the trench work yourself it's actually quite easy.

You also pay somebody but isometimes it's quite expensive

Can*

They operate the zones by using 24 volt AC valves.

It's actually really quite easy to also do it yourself when creating a controller. And for cheap. However once again the pre-built solutions are expensive

But they are quite polished

This is one of those appliances that are a killer to have as an iot device

Being able to set schedules easily is a lifesaver

[crude silo]

When I have my Xfi gateway in bridge mode, does the TP-Link AC1750 that I have need to be connected using its WAN port or LAN ports?

[tender hazel]

@crude silo WAN port

you want to use the device as a router when your ISP provided gateway is in bridge mode

[paper valve]

Anyone here who is in the cybersec industry know of UST global?

Context: will be going for a interview for my internship and I have no idea what they are and what they do

Their website doesn't tell me much either

[plain siren]

Live Monitored Operations as a Service

Its basically Automation as a Service

they love buzzwords too

so use those.... (not joking)

[paper valve]

damn okay

[plain siren]

Hold on I think they got a YT channel that shows off their shit lemme find it

[paper valve]

by automation you mean network monitoring?

[plain siren]

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=UST+global&docid=608053337856307557&mid=DE99428D64024EE66B24DE99428D64024EE66B24&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Their whole marketing BS is legit BS tho

[paper valve]

the narrator is dubbed over

yea their website is the most confusing shit i've read in a while

[plain siren]

Its ran by a bunch of marketing turds

They do alot of their stuff B2B

So thats why nothings really public

[paper valve]

I see, thanks for the help

[plain siren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SI0MjljtSc OK Omg this guy @paper valve

Sums their shit up pretty well

[paper valve]

LOL

[elfin wraith]

randomly clicked, got mouthful of empty adjectives

[paper valve]

im 3 minutes in and barely have any idea what hes talking about

[elfin wraith]

is there anything in that video that actually has any concrete bearing

other than "we use words that appear to suggest positive outcomes"

[main tartan]

Does anyone know why port forwarding only works when I connect to my 5.0GHz wifi SSID and it doesn't when I switch to 2.4GHz wifi?

[main tartan]

Just fixed it by resetting the AP.

[low kayak]

can someone help me setup rules in zerotier?

i want to ONLY allow acces to certain ports on a certain ip address in the network

and block all other traffic

[deft crystal]

Dang that place is in Dayton? Makes me wanna visit. We'll put their level 5 security to the test...

Kinda wanna build a simple home network server, i can do this realitivly simply with a pi, yes?

[snow lance]

best midrange wifi repeater? not too expensive

[dusk oasis]

can someone tell me difference between straight-through ethernet cable and crossover ethernet cable ?

[wraith mirage]

Does anyone have recommendations for WAPs? Everything online recommended Ubiquiti APS....

[arctic cairn]

Hello Guys!
I want to 18 people acces internet, what would be the best option?

like velocity and for routers there are 6 plants with 3 apartments?

[thick minnow]

if i connected two 4 port 10gbe nics, would i get 80gbe transfer using fiber?

[clear igloo]

With same source and destination? No, at least not using LACP

[thick minnow]

let's say some kind of super nas, direct link with no router/ switch in between fiber optic. and less than 20ft away

[peak cloak]

Again, depends on the bonding

Like lurick said, not with lacp

[peak cloak]

18 people as in 18 apartments?

18 wifi clients?

[rocky badge]

@waxen scroll

[waxen scroll]

Are they at least using different channels?

[rocky badge]

Yeah

On 5GHz

2.4ghz lmao

[wispy wing]

Ooh rgb frisbees

[peak cloak]

Is the light even rgb lol?

Also

[rocky badge]

Not on these models

[rocky badge]

These models aren’t RGB, just white and blue

[peak cloak]

Doing 20+ ethernet ethernet crimps starts to get tiring fast

[wispy wing]

how does it work if it doesn't have rgb?

[rocky badge]

Blue and white LEDs

Lol @ doing crimps for this

All of those cables are just pre made, I never make my own patch cables

[peak cloak]

Yeah, did that first day of work

They didn't have a patch panel

Some apartment

[thick minnow]

Are there any other link aggregation protocols than lag+lacp?

If any minds can they dm me the answer i gotta go to work and dont want to search the chat for three hours

[peak cloak]

Idk, but fyi there is a inbox in discord

Can see all mentions

[brisk field]

Tell me about... Doing 16 right now and already had enough

[peak cloak]

The worst are the ones without any sort of sizing guide

The best are the ones where you put into the little thing and then into the connector

Better than passthrough tbh

And " higher quality"

I heard passthrough isn't the best because of the risks of shorts between wires, at the end

Especially for poe

[cursive valve]

Plus it feels lazy

[hardy comet]

Will cat.6 ethernet cable support 10Gbps networking?

[tender hazel]

if the length is short.. 6a is probably better

but if you really need 10Gbps you might consider fiber or SFP+ DAC's (direct attach cables)

depending on the length

[low kayak]

anyone here know how flow rules work in zerotier?

[modern tangle]

I have a debate to win, so I’m consulting a board of experts (hopefully). So my brother is saying bandwidth is speed of the network, and that bandwidth is network speed, transfer rate, or kbs. I’m saying bandwidth is the amount of is measured in GHz and that the speed of a network is kbs, and that bandwidth is like a large lab that the router splits into land for separate use

[thick minnow]

What's the best router OS for 900down 100up over pppoe?

[hollow marlin]

His interpretation is more accurate. Bandwidth is used to describe many different things but in the professional space bandwidth is typically referred to real world rates becaween two host, ex. file transfer, downloads, speed test.
Throughput is the raw data in bps which I think is what you were alluding to.

[modern tangle]

Oh, I see now. Thanks

[rocky badge]

my poor RF environment @waxen scroll

[frigid sphinx]

Bandwidth is also a general description of the capaciuty of some communication mechiniam

I oftwn say that in order of decreasing bandwidth... in person conversation is higher bandwidth than videoconferencing ... telephone conversation... text chat

[worldly mist]

TENDA AC5 or AC6? OR SOMETHING ELSE IS BETTER?

I just want something that doesn't freeze all the time and suffer from high temperatures
My connection is usually 2mbps down

[worldly mist]

Anyone here?

[brave heron]

are u gonna use ethernet or wireless?

[worldly mist]

Wireless only and super slow connection

[brave heron]

from product info the ac6 looks faster

but buy warranty

idk

[worldly mist]

1 month warranty

And it's only 23 USD locally

Dual band

[brave heron]

buying from amazon?

[worldly mist]

No

Local stores

[brave heron]

oh

4 yr protection is $7 on amazon

[worldly mist]

I just wanna replace my TP-Link

It keeps freezing

[brave heron]

lmao mine does too

[worldly mist]

It's dog shit honestly

My internet is only 2mbps

[brave heron]

mine was barely 1

[worldly mist]

Holy fuck

[brave heron]

slow internet gang

[worldly mist]

Where do u live?

[brave heron]

south carolina

i got an ethernet port and its still slow ass

[worldly mist]

You probably kidding

[brave heron]

no lol im deadass

[worldly mist]

Wireless system?

[brave heron]

ethernet

[worldly mist]

But how?

[brave heron]

lol idk

[worldly mist]

You have some big issues

[brave heron]

frfr

[worldly mist]

Where i live 1mbps costs 50 USD

[brave heron]

i have like 50mb down but whenever i play games my ping sky rockets

in new york?

[worldly mist]

Nah it's IRAQ

[brave heron]

ooooh

oh fuck

[worldly mist]

Literally the most expensive on this planet

Ping is always 80+

[brave heron]

lol

the pain never ends huh

[worldly mist]

Yeah

You have some real issues if you say you ain't getting more than 1mbps

[brave heron]

nah now im getting 50mbs
but i used to get 1mb from wireless like 10 feet away from the router

[worldly mist]

Probably noise

[brave heron]

idk what it was but it got me hella mad

[worldly mist]

Just try the magic trick

OFF then on

[brave heron]

lol

i made it so it restarts at 8 am every morning

it kinda works

[worldly mist]

It works Everytime

This channel is so quiet

31K online lmao

[brave heron]

my first time talking in here

[worldly mist]

Me too lol

[brave heron]

i was boutta ask why my ethernet is getting so slow

went from 70mb to 50mb in like a day

[worldly mist]

Yeah your router for sure

Your router model?

[brave heron]

tplink ac1750

i think

[worldly mist]

Whoa dude wait a minute

[brave heron]

what

[worldly mist]

That's a pretty Good router i think

[brave heron]

yeah

something is wrong with my computer

im the only one lagging in my entire house

[worldly mist]

Oh cable or wireless connection?

[brave heron]

cable

[worldly mist]

I'm 100 percent sure it's the cable

[brave heron]

prolly

[worldly mist]

Or something in your computer is sucking the connection

Probably

[brave heron]

im using a netgear router extender as the ethernet port

idk if its the different brands

[worldly mist]

Ohh that's why

More device = more latency

[brave heron]

i used to have very good internet with it when i first set it up on the netgear

after a day it started lagging

imma restart it again then ig

[worldly mist]

Can't you just hook your ethernet directly to your main router?

[brave heron]

ye i could but i would need to buy a 15ft+ ethernet cable

[worldly mist]

Believe me it's worth it

So you're kinda like using your Netgear extender as a wifi for your computer right?

[brave heron]

i have the extender set up right next to my computer and i stuck a ethernet cable into the extender

[worldly mist]

Netgear connect to tp-link through wireless and your computer connected to your Netgear through Ethernet

Right??

[brave heron]

yeah

wait i might see why lol

[worldly mist]

Yeah you're suffering from high latency

[brave heron]

but on the 1st day everything was fine

[worldly mist]

I've done that before

[brave heron]

or the extender is just old

its like a '11 or '13 model i think

[worldly mist]

Nah it's not a good setup i highly recommend that you hook your computer directly for way better stability

[brave heron]

ye imma buy a longer cable then

rip if it doesnt fix it

[worldly mist]

Nah it does for sure

You can try ping test before anything

And ask an expert

Check the latency between you and your main tp link router

If it's not higher than 20ms i think you're Good and it's your ISP

[brave heron]

my ping is 21ms rn

[worldly mist]

That's great

50 ms is a Dream for me lol

[brave heron]

was for me for a while too

lucky enough to get it

[lime spindle]

Why cant i deselect the instalation fee. What if I am fine with installing my own internet

[clear igloo]

AT&T Fiber? Or a fiber ISP? or is this a coax ISP?

[cedar igloo]

Hopefully someone here is decent with AD. How can I set environment variables inside a Domain Controller? Apparently you can't have any local administrators, which is required for setting environment variables

[crude silo]

Hi, I have an Xfi 3rd gen gateway in bridge mode, and the TP-Link Archer C7 that’s connected to port 1 through its WAN port isn’t connecting to the internet. I’ve verified that the connection works, because we’ve been using the gateway with bridge mode off for a month now without issues. Where should I look for static IP settings/how should I fix the dynamic IP settings?

[past berry]

has anyone used these? https://www.viloliving.com/

[wispy abyss]

No, but that sounds awful

Never use wireless without a wired backhaul period

Finally grabbed my first proper "layer 3" switch

[slate berry]

Hey so I'm training to get a job as a web developer and I am looking at working on getting my own vm or possibly vps server space in order to host websites and so that I can learn more about hosting and running websites and Linux servers in general. I hear a lot of websites recommending bluehost since beyond allowing me to host WordPress websites on it easily, the prices seem fairly good for what you get access too. I still want to make a home server to learn more about servers in general before I make the website on a vps, but I figure I should look into one early so I can focus my studies and test website I end up using to experiment to work on whichever service I end up using. Also if you feel I should just make my own personal server let me know since while I'm intending my home server to be for personal files, I could try using it for hosting if people feel thats more effective than just renting a server;

https://youtu.be/gsvS2M5knOw

Also figured I'd give a shout out to network chuck since as someone in training his video tutorials have been really helpful for learning more about networking subjects and server creation and hosting;

[elfin plank]

Im looking at getting a new router since i feel that its the only bottleneck when it comes to my internet, and im looking at this and I wonder are there any better routers than this available on the market? https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-Wi-Fi-Gaming-Router-TUF-AX3000/dp/B089MR1S31/ref=asc_df_B089MR1S31/?tag=googleshopmob-22&linkCode=df0&hvadid=341743162074&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=401481954630706390&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9071730&hvtargid=pla-923124128867&psc=1

I cant run Ethernet to my system as its too far from my setup and my current modem is a sagemcom trash can

[slate berry]

Powerline isn't a good option I assume right?;

Only mention since depending on situation that may be cheaper and more reliable than a new router. In the past I used a powerline ethernet and had acceptable connection speeds compared to trying to access via my wifi. But that was like 7 years ago so not sure if things have changed;

[elfin plank]

i cant, the electrics in the house is a mess

too much electrical noise

this may also be a better option tbh: \https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/networking/modems-&-routers/90349-rax70-100aus

[slate berry]

Gotcha then yeah I can't help you unfortunately not too up to date with wifi routers;

[elfin plank]

do you know anyone who is?

[low pond]

Wait here, someone will answer

[wispy abyss]

Do you have coaxial?

[past berry]

How so? Seems like standard distributed wifi but for $20usd a unit. Uses ac, but whatever.

[wispy abyss]

Power line is garbage

[past berry]

It's not powerline.

[wispy abyss]

Oh the mesh thing

Every wireless hop you lose at minimum half of your bandwidth

[elfin plank]

Yea i have copper to home, fiber to kerb

I may probably go signal boosters

Coz i just have bandwidth and packet loss issues

[wispy abyss]

That won't help

[elfin plank]

Going for a better router?

[wispy abyss]

If you have coaxial wiring in place at your house you can use MOCA to provide Ethernet layer2 communication over coaxial

[elfin plank]

Moca?

[wispy abyss]

Multimedia over coax alliance

It's very common for cable boxes to use it as well

[elfin plank]

Yea it has the switch box to the router and thats it

[wispy abyss]

2 adapters

https://youtu.be/dm_Znyh7uZ0

[elfin plank]

I cant really

[wispy abyss]

It's so much better than power line and wifi it's not even funny

[wispy abyss]

Oof

[elfin plank]

Coz Aussie nbn pepega

[wispy abyss]

No existing wiring?

[elfin plank]

Wait

Is it like terrestial

[wispy abyss]

Wdym

[elfin plank]

Like traditional analogue tvs or is more like the settop box

Like cable

[wispy abyss]

Coaxial is inherently a copper connection. It can be analog or digital

[wispy abyss]

Cable

You don't need it though

Even a straight wire of coax works

I use it because cable/coax is pretty much everywhere, but not rj45 in my home

[elfin plank]

Yea i cant do that

[wispy abyss]

Hmm

[elfin plank]

Coz Australia didn't use that standard

We used terrestrial tvs more and still do

Aka not cable

So i dont have cable runs in my house

So yea

Tbh ill just cope

Isps are shit

[wispy abyss]

No rj11 phone line?

https://youtu.be/BICWu9klzDA

[elfin plank]

Thats one way to do it

But tbh im not sure if i should, id just pass tbh and wait till i have a place that has a better coax location in an office area

I should be grateful i have no adsl

[wispy abyss]

Yeah MOCA isn't something I'd actively go for, but something to fallback on

[wispy abyss]

I recently started working at an isp. How they fuck do they get those speeds with vdsl?

I've seen 50mbps!

[elfin plank]

I just need good modem location coz it goes through one wall

[wispy abyss]

200iq use a dsl connection to create a sip trunk to make a dial up connection

[elfin plank]

And that is well i still get 260 down 22 up

272 down*

For wifi i still feel it should be better

But tbh i feel like its an isp cap

[wispy abyss]

In the US at least dsl seems way worse than other countries. I'd assume mainly due to distance

DSL falls off in range very quickly

[ebon wasp]

That still wouldn't explain why many farms in the Netherlands have better DSL speeds than houses in a fully build suburb.

[peak cloak]

Congestion

Idk dsl tho, so just guessing

Never had to deal with dsl

[wispy abyss]

Maybe construction and activity disrupts the signal

Dsl becomes shit the moment rain happens

[hollow marlin]

All forms of DSL can only reach 10mbps at around 2.5km on good copper. Limits before SNR is too much to hold a connection is a little over 3.5km. G.dmt signalling can push it a bit further.

[hollow marlin]

Interference. AM radio towers use the same freq. as DSL. If you are in a rural area, typically its not enough to be that big of an issue but even in the suburbs, you're more likely than not close enough to a tower to start seeing an impact

That not including how well the copper is maintained.

[thick minnow]

so im having a problem at them moment:
my router is in the basement but my pc is in the 3rd floor. im currently using a powerline (dovolo magic 2 next: https://www.devolo.com/magic-2-wifi-next ) to get any connection to the internet
here th real problem: the speeds are very bad... if i connect my laptop via lan to the router in the basment i get around 300 mbits down and 40 mbits up. but if i connect the same laptop to the powerline thing in the 3rd floor i just get 70 mbits down and 40 mbits up.

so:
can i get my dsl somehow through an old cable from an analoge telephone?

[lean pebble]

Hallo

Anyone knows how to regain lost disk space in VMware esxi?

[low pond]

Lost space hwut?

[unreal terrace]

"Your STACK is currently unavailable due to a problem with the server it is hosted on. Our system administrators are working hard on a solution and are doing their utmost to get your STACK back online as soon as possible."

Are cloud storage hosters even allowed to tell me that?

[peak cloak]

Why not

[low pond]

Yep, it's just a very generic answer anyway, "problem"

[unreal terrace]

Well they fixed it and send me this:

Your STACK is back online!

Earlier this afternoon, our monitoring systems reported a problem with the server that hosts your STACK.
Further investigation revealed that a spare disk in the server was not recognized. In an attempt to have the disk detected after all, our engineers decided to restart the server.

However, after the reboot, the drive was still not detected. The cause of this turned out to be that a kernel module was not loaded. Our engineers solved this problem by installing a different version of the kernel module. They have also decided to do the same for the other STACK servers.

If you have any questions about the incident, please don't hesitate to contact us via a message from your control panel.

[thick minnow]

I'm using tor and this append no matter how many times I'm recounting to the tor network, how can I fix it?

[peak cloak]

Tor exit nodes have lots of malisous traffic

So they are often blocked

[native orchid]

Same goes in Israel with coax

[thick minnow]

Its for that one specific or the tor net?

[small glade]

Tfw my routers nat is the limiting speed of my internet now

Good 150mbps less thought the router than connected directly to the external modem ethernet line

Through ethernet both cases ofc

[lean pebble]

what company in Israel HOT?

[native orchid]

YES YES YES ( btw YES is a tv cable company)

[lean pebble]

hahaha

I hate this ISP, the worst ISP in the country

[native orchid]

How do you know?

[lean pebble]

I'm from Israel

[native orchid]

Shalom

[lean pebble]

shalom lol

[native orchid]

who is your ISP?

[lean pebble]

suffering from adsl/vdsl network

[native orchid]

F
I got Fiber Partner

[lean pebble]

Bezeq and BezeqINT

[native orchid]

BEzeqint are good but bezeq are shit

[lean pebble]

I'm on private house they ignore from us xD

[native orchid]

I had Bezeq then moved to HOT (Bezeq were so bad, hot actually were ok besides the time they tried to charge me on a modem I already gave back), Now fiber thanks god.

[native orchid]

my friend live in a private house and gets from hot bizarre speeds

[lean pebble]

Partner fiber passing under the floor behind my house xD

My friend with HOT and they can't provide wifi they gave him "new" router from 2015 with only 2.5Ghz and I decided to half help him and gave him my old router that act like access point to 5 and 2.5 ghz

[native orchid]

That's the worst, so close yet so far.
They canceled the 3gb (Thanks god, what a miserable try to fight Bezeq 2.5Gb)

[lean pebble]

haha no one can't fight them with 2.5Gb

[native orchid]

any place we can chat in hebrew? I am getting tired

[lean pebble]

its useless I prefer that they'll give 1Gb up / down instead 2.5Gb down and 250Mbps up

I don't have hebrew on my computer 😂 was too lazy to add it after clean installation

[native orchid]

LOL

I thought this 3gb shit was just laughing on customers, wtf?! we want reasonable speeds and prices with higher uploads not this shit

[lean pebble]

Yeah higher uploads are necessary or at least higher upload from servers outside of Israel. I tried to downloading file with my friend fiber from my server and I got 15MB/s and my server have 1Gb up/down

[native orchid]

I am fine with 100mb but still, people need more.

I have a friend who got Fiber but moved to private house and there isn't even Coax installed

[lean pebble]

They must do at least 150MB/s instead 100Mbps

I just need the fiber I have a router that support it

[native orchid]

I wish we were able to adjust the upload speed, so when I need high download speeds I can just suck all the upload and vise versa

[lean pebble]

yeah

[native orchid]

as long as you have memir fiber ( I don't know what it's called in English) you can use almost every router

[lean pebble]

first they need to fix the internet infrastructures

I don't need fiber converter my router just have fiber port

[native orchid]

yeah right

[native orchid]

even better

[lean pebble]

I have 4 fiber cables of 1 meter each

[native orchid]

I am speaking about upload speeds meanwhile most of Israel don't have even 100mb reliable internet

[lean pebble]

I'm stuck on 40Mbps

[native orchid]

I never looked back since fiber

[lean pebble]

I wish I had fiber

[peak cloak]

Tor in general

That's the drawback of using Tor

[thick minnow]

but it used to work

[peak cloak]

Thats on an exit node basic, you could try to get a new route

[thick minnow]

what? i dont understand

[vestal sundial]

Just host your own exit node

[peak cloak]

It's like called, new circuit or something like that

[idle idol]

Anyone know of a place to get replacement rack rails?

I'm about to just shelf this nas

[little schooner]

@idle idol ohh hey I got the same Hikvision NVR as you

[idle idol]

ADT Special lol
Aka something they found a stock pile of in the back of the warehouse 😁

[lean pebble]

Wish me luck I'm reducing lvm partition on my main vps

[idle idol]

wow.. so the rack fits, but it drives me nuts.. Got it mounted in the HVAC closet up high but its litteraly the width of the door

Anyone else running their network rack under their desk?

[peak cloak]

Mines in the basement

in the utility closet

[idle idol]

gawd i wish i had a basement

stupid slab foundation

Do you have any heat issues with it being in the closet like that?

[peak cloak]

well

it's a "closet" right now

basement isn't finished

so no walls really

[idle idol]

ohhh one of those LOL

[peak cloak]

it's where all the utilities are

[idle idol]

That works though. I got an attic but im not to confident that the equiptment would last 30 days up there :p

[peak cloak]

yeah

an attic can get hot

[idle idol]

last reading during mid day showed it at 130f.

I just got to figure out a way to put it in my office under a desk or something.

and make it look clean

[low pond]

That's your setup? Wow ;v

[peak cloak]

no lol

[low pond]

Oh- 🤣

[waxen scroll]

i would hope not

thats LOUD

[peak cloak]

just a random pic off the internet

[low pond]

Yes, I'd presume the "room" here isn't a bedroom or has a bed

🤣🤣

[worthy coral]

What would you all recommend for a home server noob?

My work uses HP ProLiant Microservers that look cool but they are a bit pricey and proprietary… all I have at home is a Cisco 1941 router I got for $5 that I have yet to do anything with

[peak cloak]

anything you got

I run a optiplex 3010

[worthy coral]

Ohh

[peak cloak]

doesn't need "server" in it's name

purpose built servers usually have some nice features tho, which I want

like remote managment

[little schooner]

@peak cloak I'm thinking of getting a ddr5 system as a server since it finally has ecc built into the standard. I can use faster consumer systems instead of slow and expensive xeons

I'm sad it will be expensive at first

[peak cloak]

doesn't ddr5 not have proper ecc

I read something about that

[little schooner]

I'm not sure, I didn't see that

[peak cloak]

https://youtu.be/XGwcPzBJCh0

it's just resident data on-die ECC, but not actual full-path ECC all the way up to the CPU (as "regular" ECC is).
So great job, server-grade ECC memory ain't going away, even with DDR5.

@little schooner

[little schooner]

yeah I was watching the whole video

dang it man lol

awww it's not what I thought

Okay so I’m building a new house and trying to set up a home network, I need something that supports a lot of devices since I’m trying to do a full smart home. My plan was to get the Gryphon AC3000 which comes with the router and one mesh extender and then the Motorola MB8611. You guys think that would be a good pair? As well I’m wondering what switches to get and if patch panels are recommended or needed. I’m trying to run as much as I can through Ethernet

[thick minnow]

Why not just do Access points if you have the hardwire runs?

[sinful stone]

I don’t know much about home networking 🤷‍♂️ what are those

[worldly mist]

Is there a good website that ranks router or have real reviews that i can trust or some kinda list that ranks them or anything similar?

[peak cloak]

Those are devices you plug Ethernet in and they basically convert Ethernet communication to wifi

You get like 1-5 of those depending on the size and there you go, good wifi signal strength everywhere

@slate berry the best way to start on this "world" is with a Raspberry Pi. Just buy a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB of RAM run Proxmox and you can create/host several websites, learn about virtualization, learn Linux and explore the infinite Raspberry Pi possibilities.

Once you decide that you need something big and you're ready to evolve to the server side of homelab then you can just ask here or on the LTT forum for advices on where to start a homelab.

[peak cloak]

Rasp pi is one, way but getting older pcs for cheap isn't bad either

There are some drawbacks of a pi

[ember grove]

That's an option but Raspberry Pi is more beginner friendly and you can easily find help/support for it.

And you also have a way bigger community that's 24/7 available to help on any kind of problem that you may encounter.

@clear igloo hi ~~

Is a line card answering a ping a.... thing ?

I have idiots who are pinging my SVIs as their failover detection and COPP dont like

[clear igloo]

In the debug/attach console, yes

[waxen scroll]

I want to see if I can get pings answered another way

[jaunty talon]

Who here works with Nexus switches? :) I would like to get my hands on nxos.7.0.3.I7.9.bin for Nexus 3000 :) - SOLVED! :D

[waxen scroll]

I cant anyway, we're SSO and I cant access cisco from a personal computer

[jaunty talon]

I miss my own Cisco account I had back in the days when i worked at EA :D

[waxen scroll]

They're playing chess trying to stop data exfiltration so imma get caught most ways

[jaunty talon]

Nowdays I have no Cisco at work :D

[waxen scroll]

one of our SRE is trying to adjust copp and I hate that idea

[clear igloo]

Yah, COPP is not fun to mess with

[jaunty talon]

risky :D

[waxen scroll]

i want to go back to the app owners and tell them NO, figure out another detection method

[clear igloo]

Yah, pings are not a valid method for failover imo

[jaunty talon]

I did yesterday something very convenient for myself :D Try curl https://suom1.pub :D

[low pond]

it has some public keys

[jaunty talon]

It has my public keys :D

Very nice to have when you setup new machines or automate with ansible =)

[waxen scroll]

I dont want to put a ping target system out there either cause its just another point of failure

[low pond]

How much did the .pub tld cost

[jaunty talon]

28€ or something :)

[low pond]

Oh :P

[clear igloo]

28 for a year? Not bad

[jaunty talon]

Yeah

Worth it if you ask me :D

[low pond]

Eh for me, I like my 2$/yr fees for xyz 😛

[jaunty talon]

haha yeah, but .pub as so nice for public keys :D

[low pond]

I see the relation :P

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo @waxen scroll

[clear igloo]

Nice!

[small glade]

2.4ghz

Why can't we have a bit more spectrum and have 40mhz channels outlawed

Also how the fuck is my basement ap that's running at 5dbm of TX power only detectable

Don't want the network police or whatever the fuck to roll past and detect its running on channel 13

[plucky marlin]

So it turns out I'm an idiot... set pfSense up with Proxmox and bridged my gigabit LAN port and 2.5Gb ports. Then realised that the 2.5Gb port would only have high speed access to pfSense as everything else was on the 1gb port.

Then I realised I can just bridge it in Proxmox and it magically work how I want. Doh!

[dense laurel]

Idk where to put this but it's been circulating twitter. I don't quite understand how the people are doing what they are doing with the faulty extension but I do feel like it's important to mention. Lmk if it's the wrong place for it

LinoYeen (@LinoYeen)

Heads up there is people using IPv6 ip addresses as usernames on Twitch if you see one of these just report do not go onto the page. The panels have a extension that show your IP address. How to report without going on the page do https://t.co/CWTBhT0rIK ( replace the username )

[peak cloak]

how? it's pretty easy

why, I have no clue

[dense laurel]

I'm not that techy

[peak cloak]

wait, if you just go on their page?

[dense laurel]

They mention something about the malicious extension logging IPs

[peak cloak]

I mean you type the address in your browser, your going to that address

it will see a request from your ip

"malicious extension logging" sounds like bs

[dense laurel]

It's against the Twitch developer agreement

So it is malicious in that way

[peak cloak]

oh

as in a browser extension?

[dense laurel]

I believe it's a stream extension

On Twitch there are extensions called "panels". Some are desktop browser only, others are able to be used on the mobile app. They are inside of Twitch to my understanding

Each panel has terms of services even as a viewer watching a stream

[peak cloak]

I would need to proof of it working, other than that it just sounds eh

not a reliable source either

[dense laurel]

It seems like most of the Twitter users in the thread are streamers so we could always check the VODs

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo @waxen scroll not even a FUCKING DAY https://i.ryois.me/yPjvVG4Vhj.png

[waxen scroll]

wat

[rocky badge]

912 nearby APs in less than 12 hours

Its not even near much

[peak cloak]

how

[rocky badge]

this site isn't even near much....just a road
99% of those are cars driving by the APs pick up

[peak cloak]

I assume it deletes the entries after a certain amount of time not seen?

[rocky badge]

yes

historical data is auto deleted

[dense laurel]

Update on this, apparently Twitch Support has temporarily removed the misbehaving extension, but there hasn't been an official word on it yet

Apparently they've been using the IP addresses to do DDOS attacks when the streamer is live

[peak cloak]

wut

kinda makes no sense

you don't "use" ip addresses not assigned to you

unless they were spoofing

but those get marked invalid and dropped usually on the first hop iirc

oh ddos the streamers

[dense laurel]

Ah sorry I must have not made that part clear

Regardless it's still somewhat concerning

Twitch has yet to make an official statement about the matter

[dense laurel]

The only time I've encountered DDoS attacks was during midterms and finals seasons... Our uni kept getting targeted leaving most people on campus depending on outside networks to submit assignments. Idk if they've increased their cyber security since then, but it seemed like every year all the routers went down because someone, I think a vengeful ex-student, kept creating DDoS attacks.

[opaque osprey]

anybody has info or experience on the zte h196a?
im currently debating buying that or the deco e4 for my home mesh setup

[ember grove]

Is this GPU https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/nvidia-quadro-p4000-pcie-x16-8gb-gddr5-fh-gpu-graphics-card better then the P2200 for hardware encoding?

Or maybe going for this one https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/nvidia-quadro-p2000-pcie-x16-5gb-gddr5-fh-graphics-card and save a bit more to buy more HDD.

What do you guys think?

I got mikrotik and I could not find how to route the tafick to the tor net could someone help?

Has anyone here ever made an 18Km (11miles) P2P link with Mikrotik?

[wanton coral]

I have a Cisco 897 VAG LTE router - even after using the reset pin on the rear of the router it wont display a default gateway, does anyone know of a way to get into the default gateway? I dont want to have to figure out how to use cisco CLI unless I have to

[small glade]

Say what you will but 2.4ghz wifi still has a place in this world

I'm on the edge of my property rn and an getting 20 Mbps ish stable through 2.4 while 5 can't complete a speedtest

[rocky badge]

I disabled 2.4GHz on my main SSID lol

But we’ve got enough APs to cover everything

[small glade]

I'm thinking of disabling 2.4 on one of my 2 aps

[small glade]

Wait no actually 3 aps but the 3rd one is on channel 13 in my basement operating at 3mw of TX power so it's a non issue for interference to anything other than in the one room of the basement

[rocky badge]

1, 6, 11 here lol

[small glade]

1 and 6 here for my main aps

13 is illegal band afaik but again it's in a basement at miniscule TX power

[rocky badge]

12 & 13 is low power in the US

[small glade]

I think it's illegal in the eu

Maybe low power idk

[rocky badge]

The site I recently did is 3 APs per 1 6 and 11

Except I disabled the radios on one AP lol

2.4GHz was manually selected but 5GHz right now is auto

@clear igloo 😐😐I think whoever configured the PtP devices set a static IP

[clear igloo]

lol, whoops

[rocky badge]

The DHCP lease should’ve expired by now

But they’re in the 192.168.1 range

Their old office network wasn’t even 192.168.1 either, it was .0

[clear igloo]

that's really odd

[rocky badge]

Their office network went from 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24, to 192.168.0.0/24, and now 10.0.0.0/24

[small glade]

192.168.0 gang

[low pond]

[small glade]

also i notice that one of the points of wifi 6 is like lower latency but 802.11ac has pretty damn low latency like idk why you would want even lower latency

thats moonlight game streaming from my pc

1ms network latency

for some reason ping is very high if i just ping my phones ip with the ping command tho

i think its probably a power saving thing

video latency did shoot up to the mid teens tho when i ran a speedtest on my other phone

so maybe there is something to it in more crowded applications

imma crank the bitrate to 150 to make the network really suffer

still 1-2ms ping when my phone is the only client

wait its only barely pulling anything over the network when my pc screen is basically static

with a video playing on the pc the latency was 2-3 when only my phone was pulling anything abd again 15 ish when the other phone was pulling a speed test however that speedtest is quite worrying

That jitter and packet loss

wifi 6 maybe isnt a scam/marketing bs after all /s

[rocky badge]

A guy in another server I'm in gets around 720Mbps on a U6-Pro

[small glade]

is there any program i could use to run like a speedtest over local network so the "secondary load" isnt in any way limited by the isp connection?

[clear igloo]

iperf3

[rocky badge]

their speeds

[small glade]

pretty damn good for wifi

my shitty aps dont support dfs so im limited to 40mhz channels

so they are shitty for even wifi 5 standards

[rocky badge]

This site I just did is only using 40MHz 5GHz lol

Even 3 of the APs support 160MHz and all of them support 80MHz

https://i.ryois.me/Qe1zN2AsoA.png

[small glade]

i can get around 200 down and a bit more than that up with these aps over wireless 5ghz in ideal conditions

connection is gigabit but the shitty nat and routing limits the speed to around 800 mbps ish

i have tested directly through the modem and i got 950mbps both up and down so thats cool and all

[rocky badge]

tbh they get their 150 down

which is their internet speed lol

So at this point I'm worried more about lots of clients

[bronze swift]

Can anyone recommend me a wifi router with no additional Ethernet ports? (I’m not sure if it’s called that but I will be running a 150ft Ethernet cable from an Xfinity modem to my room then using that Ethernet cable, putting it into a network switch then into a wifi router I think then making my wireless wifi devices have faster wifi). Also, my net plan is 500Mbps

Maybe this is a bridge router?

[peak cloak]

So an access point?

No routing

Just changes mediums basically from Ethernet to wifi

I have the eap225

[bronze swift]

Yeah it’s that thanks

[bronze swift]

This?

[peak cloak]

Yeah that's what I have

[bronze swift]

I just bought a tp link network switch a few days ago and Ethernet speeds are AMAZING!!!! I went from 50Mbps to 400Mbps

I think my wifi speeds will be faster too but not that much

[peak cloak]

So yeah you can just get that or something similar

Routers are just things that route, my router has no wifi

An access point is the specific thing that provides wifi

[bronze swift]

I still don’t understand the router part, is it like only a network switch?
