networking

[amber yarrow]

yeah, it supports NAT loopback

[fading oar]

it pings fine

[peak cloak]

would love something like this

https://mikrotik.com/product/rb4011igs_rm

[hollow tapir]

netstat -ln | grep 6379

from the redis server

[peak cloak]

remotely as in the same LAN?

firewall probobly

[fading oar]

yes

[faint depot]

No wifi?

[peak cloak]

no

[faint depot]

Hmm, as secure as that is, we've got phones. >.<

[peak cloak]

uhh, you just have a access point

[amber yarrow]

also if there's any problem with an asus router, you can flash merlin firmware on it

[peak cloak]

my router is in the basement right now, FAR from the optimal place to have the wifi radio

but my Access Point is in the center of the house

[amber yarrow]

merlin supports pretty much every mainline asus routers

[peak cloak]

right now I have the ER-X

[fading oar]

on my ubuntu box it says thaat 6379 is open

[faint depot]

Is this router better than the asus one?

[hollow tapir]

firewall rules

[peak cloak]

the ER-X?

depends how you look at it

[amber yarrow]

also you can run apps in merlin, just like in OpenWRT routers:
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin.ng/wiki/Entware

[peak cloak]

it's not optimal to run things on routers

not meant for that

[faint depot]

Haha, futhark runes. I like the logo.

[amber yarrow]

too late lol
vpn companies are advertising how to get your asus router to run OpenVPN services

[faint depot]

Alright, I think I'll go with the Asus router, because I don't have a lot of space for an access point, and because I'm 100% going to flash that merlin firmware onto it.

[peak cloak]

well vpn is something else

I have wireguard on mine for a site to site tunnel I have

also, vpns are mostly such a scam

[faint depot]

Hmm, I know some routers have VPN hosting built in.

So that other people can access your NAT drives and whatever.

[peak cloak]

well I do that, just not on the router

run a wireguard server

to access home network when I'm away

[faint depot]

See what I mean by overwhelming?

[peak cloak]

tf?

"gaming"

damn marketing sucks

[faint depot]

the "high end game model" is something else entirely, and it's way cheaper.

That's the "high end game model"

This is the middle model.

and this is the "tri-band"

[peak cloak]

more spikes doesn't mean better

the best wifi access points don't have any

[faint depot]

So I guess the middle one?

[peak cloak]

idk

just saying

it's the internals that matter

[faint depot]

😭

I can't read it.

[peak cloak]

just marketing

no way are you getting 2 gig over wifi

they just tally up the aggregate wifi bandwidth and slap that on

[faint depot]

Lol, I figured that's what it had to be.

Well, my main system is always plugged in, it's my phone, my wife's phone, my wife's laptop, my other laptops, and my daughters laptop - that are all wifi.

[amber yarrow]

probably the 2.5Gb WAN port
from their page
https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-Gaming-Routers/RT-AX86U/

[peak cloak]

can it even route 2.5g

[faint depot]

Hmm, that's probably faster than my internet allows

My ISP**

Hmm, but that's a dedicated fast port? That's not bad.

Since I only have one system plugged in, I'll get a lot of benefit from it. Alright, I'm convinced. I'll purchase this router.

[peak cloak]

not really

[amber yarrow]

there's a review where they test the port speed
https://dongknows.com/asus-rt-ax86u-ax5700-gaming-router-review/

[peak cloak]

if you just have one device that has a 2.5g interface but nothing else with 2.5, then meh, it's kinda useless

[peak cloak]

should have used iperf3

not nas

it should at least get 1 gig

[amber yarrow]

WTF they have a gundam collab version

https://www.asus.com/Networking-IoT-Servers/WiFi-Routers/ASUS-Gaming-Routers/RT-AX86U-ZAKU-II-EDITION/

[faint depot]

asus rt-ax89X ?

That one looks way better.

[amber yarrow]

89x if budget isn't your concern i guess
it's $400 from what i see

but then you might be better off investing a whole mesh system if you have that much of money

ax86u is around $250

[faint depot]

Hmm, I guess that's a matter of diminished returns.

I'm not getting a lot of value out of those extra dollars.

[amber yarrow]

yeah, for single unit it's hard to beat in terms of value

[proud basin]

Hello,
I have a problem with my Raspberry. My model is PI 3 B+

The problem is that i have it connected to network with multiple subnets and cant connect to it from the other subnets

i've tried checking with tcptrack and the request gets to the pi, but it stays at SYN_SENT

i need port 25565 to work from all subnets, but port 22 doesnt work as well

any ideas?

[waxen scroll]

does netstat show it listening on all IPs for those ports?

[proud basin]

didn't try that yet

how do i do that?
sorry, kinda newbie to linux

[waxen scroll]

netstat -anp

should see "0.0.0.0:22 LISTEN" and "0.0.0.0:25565 LISTEN"

[proud basin]

on the pi or on my computer?

also
i can connect to it without a problem from the same subnet

just the other ones dont work

found port 22

i figured out that the pi is the one listening

there's no 25565 one, but i can connect to it from the same subnet with no problems

[hollow marlin]

Sounds like a missing route. Can devices in the other subnet ping the PI?

[proud basin]

nope

i've tried that

but i can ping other devices in other subnets

so i dont think its network problem

looks like the pi is causing it

one more detail:
it worked yesterday, but then i reset the pi

and now it doesnt work

and it that helps,
i have a wireguard client running and connected on the pi and i've set iptables to dnat incomming 25565 requests to my minecraft server ip over the wireguard network

[hollow marlin]

Being able to reach certain subnets and not other is a clear indication of a routing issue. On the Pi run ip route and show paste the output

[proud basin]

this is the output:default via 192.168.5.1 dev eth0 proto dhcp src 192.168.5.23 metric 202 10.6.0.0/24 dev wg0 proto kernel scope link src 10.6.0.9 192.168.5.0/24 dev eth0 proto dhcp scope link src 192.168.5.23 metric 202

[hollow marlin]

What are the IPs of the devices in question. Pi and device in another subnet

[proud basin]

pi is 192.168.5.23

pc from which i CAN connect is 192.168.5.24

and pc from which i CAN NOT connect is 192.168.9.46

[hollow marlin]

@proud basin When you attempt to ping the Pi from the PC, are you getting timed out or another message. Also try pinging from the Pi to the PC. Note, if the PC is Windows the firewall needs to be temporarily disabled to respond.
This is either a missing route, bad firewall policy or incorrect subnet mask.

[proud basin]

so i tried pinging the other way arround and it fails too

i'm on ubuntu desktop and i dont get any errors

it just tries pinging until i stop it

i tried ssh too and nothing happens -no timed outs, no nothing

[peak cloak]

how is this pc connected to the network? on a different vlan/port on the router?

[proud basin]

the 192.168.5.x subnet is for ethernet connections and 192.168.9.x is for wifi connected devices

so i can switch my pc between the subnets by unplugging my ethernet cable

the pi is wired, so it is on the 192.168.5.x subnet

i could connect it to wifi to get the second subnet, but that would be too slow

this is the weird part:
this is ping attempt to 192.168.9.1 PI with local ip 192.168.5.23

and this is ping attempt from my ubuntu pc with local ip 192.168.5.24 to the same ip

[proud basin]

i get the same result when pinging PI from my pc when on wifi

[proud basin]

anyone any ideas?
i really need this fixed

[peak cloak]

try a traceroute, see if it gets to the router

what's the router then if pi is 192.168.9.1?

[proud basin]

oh

i gave up

i reset the pi and i'm trying if clean install works

aaand it still doesnt work

[peak cloak]

like I thought, prob not the pi

[hollow marlin]

Resetting does nothing most the time. What router is in use?

[proud basin]

i dont know

this is a dorm network we are talking about

that's why i'm using the wireguard link

they are blocking most ports

[peak cloak]

if you don't have access to router, than it's prob blocking it

[proud basin]

but the traffic is getting to the pi

i've tested with tcptrack

the connection appeared there, but it stayed at SYN_SEND

the pi got the request, but didn't let it through

and when i tried ssh from the pi into my pc, there wasn't even an outgoing connection

[hollow marlin]

Wireless is mostly setup as guest and not allowing clients to talk back to the LAN. If you run tcpdump on the Pi and try to ping or ssh, I can almost guarantee you're not seeing the traffic reach the pi

[sour nebula]

which one should i get?

[proud basin]

yep, you're right

how do i fix it tho?

[modest flame]

What's the best way to test the cables in my walls? Without driving to my office and getting the BERT. Will iperf3 give enough info? I would like to move my networking equipment from my home office to a better location in the house and want to make sure the cat5 cables installed back when the house was built in 2006 will be good enough:)

[primal ice]

if the cables are cat5 (2 pair) you are going to be stuck at 100mb max speeds. if its cat5e (4 pair) you should be fine up to 1 gig ethernet.

[modest flame]

its 5e

[peak cloak]

You don't own or have access to router, so nothing really you can do

what I would do if I were on campus, is get my own router

[proud basin]

i've thought about that but that's too expensive for me xD

[peak cloak]

a router is like what, 70 bucks?

[proud basin]

but i would need to pay data for it monthly

[primal ice]

no no you would be creating your own subnet off the schools network, and would have control of all the routing in your subnet then.

[peak cloak]

you said you have ethernet ports?

[proud basin]

Yeah, but if i connect my router to their network, the whole thing goes down

Trust me, i've tried

[peak cloak]

what...

that makes no sense, unless they have 802.1x or something

[proud basin]

I dont even know

But that's what happenned

[proud basin]

Also, i was connecting to the wifi and was setting 802.1x in the certificate or something

Dont renember but i know i was setting it somewhere

[fading oar]

what's a good firewall GUI program for linux

[peak cloak]

it's best to just learn the cli tbh

nothing really I found was really that great

maybe yast firewall, but idk of anything else

[fading oar]

I downloaded whatever the stupid thing is called ‘dwgr’ it’s a basic gnome one

For some reason I just can’t connect my computers at all
Ports are open, they can ping, it worked before

[thick minnow]

nice u use shopee

well they are very fricking cheap

to get from there

[lone sun]

🙂 Just make sure you actually change it to full duplex 1gb in the adapter settings in Device Manager.

[thick minnow]

Hi, I wander if I can treat DMZ NET like a guest NET, as another interface that managed with firewall rules.

[primal ice]

DMZ is technically out side of the firewall. it has no firewall from the routers point of view. the devices put there would not be protected by the routers firewall.

[thick minnow]

I'm using private IPs dose it correct for me?

[upper jackal]

is it possible to put a entire VLAN in DMZ?

[faint depot]

UGH, I'm so sick of living in Japan, seriously.

I got a new router, and it has this kind of wire:

How am I supposed to ground it when my power bar uses 3 prong?

Like this

.> Such a stupid system, and my landlord won't let us upgrade the outlets because he's a moron and doesn't realize that 2 prong adapters still fit inside 3 prong outlets. He thinks I'll need to change them again when we move out, so it's not worth the hassle. I told him "No, they don't need to be switched twice, only once"

I definitely want to ground this router because power surges DO happen. One killed my laptop a few months ago, since then I decided I'd ground all my tech equipment.

But now got this stupid fat hook wire that's definitely not going to fit inside the grounding hole. I have no idea what to do.

[pulsar thorn]

Is it hard wired into router or can you get another cable?

But yes 100% I agree you should always ground your stuff, and people are dumb and don’t understand basic shapes and how they fit into things

[mental topaz]

Is there somebody who works with 4G/5G modems in M.2 or Mini-PCIE format?

Do you know if there's a modem that can do parallel dual SIM? So that the modem establishes two separate connections. I've seen dual SIM adapter thingamajigs, but those usually only allow one active connection

Please @ me when answering, gotta pretend I'm working

[thin hull]

I mean ... really ?

[peak cloak]

Other way around

You put a dmz network on a vlan

[pulsar thorn]

That’s what I get at my place, feel lucky

[thin hull]

U got 100/100 to ?

[pulsar thorn]

100/20 on copper :(

[thin hull]

Yeah ,, the morrons put in fiber in to the basement .. and then copper together with old electric wires ... about 50<100meters .. no shielding

[pulsar thorn]

Haha what country you in?

[thin hull]

<<<<<
That's sweden

[pulsar thorn]

Oh that’s alright

In Australia we aren’t so lucky

[thin hull]

But it's my landlord's fault cuse she is a morron to and don't listen to knowledge ppl

[pulsar thorn]

Hahaha fax

The highest I can get is 100/40, anything higher is a $3k upgrade to direct fibre

[thin hull]

offf.. that hurts

[pulsar thorn]

Yeah and I already pay $100 a month for 100/20

It’s terrible

[peak cloak]

Run new ethernet?

[thin hull]

Wdym ?

[peak cloak]

Run new wires from basement to room

[pulsar thorn]

Nah that’s isp property isn’t it?

[thin hull]

I can't, living in a apartment house
That's why I have a landlord 😛

[peak cloak]

Rip

[thin hull]

jupp

[hidden socket]

England's upload speeds really are sad xD

[pulsar thorn]

Yeah same in Australia lol

[thin hull]

And on top of that, when we asked this stupid isp why we don't have fiber all the way to the flats (like all the other isp have) the answer was ..."it's cheaper"
WTF !!!!

[peak cloak]

I have 300/300 which is the lowest plan. College internet is going to suck.

[peak cloak]

I mean, fair argument

But like, just get proper Ethernet cabling

[thin hull]

Been trying the last 10 yrs ...
They cinda stubborn
Have to move ...

[peak cloak]

I only have fiber to my basement, and then I have ethernet to my PCs and devices

[thin hull]

#networking message

[pulsar thorn]

Yeah I guess you could kinda run your own Ethernet so it’s at least higher quality and terminate the ends with whatever you need (presumably a phone socket so rj11)

[peak cloak]

Wut

Why rj11

[pulsar thorn]

They ran copper from the basement of his apartment

So you’d think it’s some kind of bodge adsl setup

[peak cloak]

I don't think so

[pulsar thorn]

That’s all they use here in Aus so it’s the first thing I think of lol

[peak cloak]

I haven't seen dsl in like, forever

[pulsar thorn]

That’s the most common thing in Australia

Fibre to the curb, then dsl from the curb to the house

[thin hull]

Huhh ?

[peak cloak]

Weird, could have used coax if they really wanted to save

[pulsar thorn]

We do have that too

[peak cloak]

Moca has higher speeds than dsl

[flint matrix]

australian internet is bad unless you got FTTP or FTTC and want to pay the upgrade to run it to the house

[pulsar thorn]

There’s
HFC (Hybrid Fibre Coaxial)
FTTN (Fibre to a node, then up to 1.6KM of dsl copper to your house)
FTTC (Fibre to the curb, then dsl from the curb to the house)
FTTB (Fibre to the basement, then copper to each apartment)
FTTP (Fibre gets split at the curb and run down to your premises)

[flint matrix]

my current house has FTTP, and the house im building thank god has it too

[pulsar thorn]

You lucky :(

[flint matrix]

but the previous place i lived, best we got was 50mbit because the node was not ideally located

and they wont do bonded

[thin hull]

Anyway .. it's getting there slowly 👀

[pulsar thorn]

If you think hard enough it might speed up lol

[flint matrix]

im honestly surprised australia hasnt gone back to NBN fiber for everyone, but just stopping at the curb

and dumping the last 100m cost on the consumer

[thin hull]

hahahaaha ...

[pulsar thorn]

They’re slowly moving everyone into fttp

[flint matrix]

if you download some ram - it might go faster

[pulsar thorn]

Suburb by suburb

[upper jackal]

ah oke. any idea how to do this with unify? i want this as i have a lot of servers runing which i manage there own firewall and such on

[flint matrix]

you have a UDM pro?

[pulsar thorn]

Was just about to say #networking but that’s where we are 😂

[flint matrix]

just create a new vlan

if you dont know how to do that - id suggest watching some guides- lawrence has a bunch

so does cody

[pulsar thorn]

NetworkingChuck?

[thin hull]

Btw ,, have torrent running and downstreaming disney .. so I think it's kinda ok anyway ?

[flint matrix]

cody is mactelecomnetworks - he does a LOT of unifi

[upper jackal]

i have a cople of vlans and some firewall rules blocking trafic to each other

[pulsar thorn]

Oh you’re getting good speeds then

[flint matrix]

lawrence is literally lawrence systems

[upper jackal]

i got a USG pro 4

[flint matrix]

you shouldnt need disney circle anyway - new update got pushed to the controller today that literally has the ability to block things based on network/vlan/device

[pulsar thorn]

Pfsense is where it’s at

[thin hull]

It's ok for 100/100 with sucky quality, noticeable tho when switching to new episode

[upper jackal]

well there is cisco which we use in class. but the prices on those devices are huge

[thin hull]

I think thats what my isp use in the basement

[upper jackal]

haha probaly

[pulsar thorn]

All I see at school is Aruba/HP

[upper jackal]

i got a class that is all about cisco. no idea what the school it self ussage though

[thin hull]

So they have to save a few bucks on shitty quality for us paying customers ... morrons
#networking message

[upper jackal]

thats just bad

[pulsar thorn]

Yup, cost cutting

Exactly what nbn did

Ended up costing more than original lol

[thin hull]

What's nbn ?

[pulsar thorn]

National Broadband Network

[thin hull]

ahh

[pulsar thorn]

Was meant to move the entire country from Adsl2+ to direct fibre

Government changed and so did the plans and the amount of money going into the upgrades

[thin hull]

I have a friend living far out at the country side
She got fiber all the way in to the room where the router is ... cost her around 2500usd
never have any problems
Another isp tho than me

[pulsar thorn]

That’s roughly what it would cost me to get 15 metres of fibre laid under some grass

[upper jackal]

they are curently bring fiber to where i live. cant wait for it haha. the latency will be the best upgrade we get i think

[pulsar thorn]

They reckon they can’t pull it through with the copper or smth

I get 1ms on adsl

Pretty good if you ask me

[thin hull]

Kinda ok tho

[idle axle]

that is some very nice speeds

imma just chillin with my 50Mbps

seems terrible compared lmao

[thin hull]

Umm .. well .. I got a good router and shielded cables in the flat .. so that helps a bit

[idle axle]

my network attempts are pitiful

have a mesh wifi network and then an ethernet from a node to my pc

it works tho i guess 😂

[thin hull]

At least U have internet 🙂

[idle axle]

this is true

[upper jackal]

i got 250/70 but the latency oh my it is at 150/500ms lot of the time

[thin hull]

offf

[idle axle]

that is a big ooof indeed

[upper jackal]

so i am happy we have fiber soon xD

[thin hull]

Yay 👍

[idle axle]

where does your internet connect to?

like how far from where you live

[thin hull]

Me ?

[upper jackal]

i have no idea actualy

[idle axle]

well both of y ou i guess

[pulsar thorn]

I feel extremely violated right now

[idle axle]

mines 200 miles and i get like 17ms

[upper jackal]

i sometimes get 20 but not oftent. so i think there cables or something are just bad

[idle axle]

probably

[thin hull]

In sweden they have node stations everywhere
I think I have 6-8 nodes before me

[idle axle]

issue as everything moves to fibre optic if youre stuck on old broadband can feel crap

[idle axle]

well it seems to hold on pretty well

[thin hull]

LoL .. ya .. when it's working 😛

[idle axle]

ye seems to be everyone i know who has good internet only has internet like 50% of the time full stop

[thin hull]

Numbers is one thing .. how it actually works is another thing.....

[thin hull]

From what U said .. that's not bad at all 👍

[idle axle]

ye i'd talke that ^^

[thin hull]

Did a test now with all the crap I have downstream 🤔

[peak cloak]

DMZ is just another subnet with firewall rules

doesn't even need to be a vlan

vlans are just a way to carry many networks over one pysical link

[peak cloak]

damn I have better at school

well not better upload

[thin hull]

U must have missed this

they are blocking the traffic
today i can't ping anywhere outside 192.168.5.0/24, byt i could yesterday
any ideas how to bypass it without access to the router?

[peak cloak]

kinda can't

[steep igloo]

is this a place i can ask about ethernet cable? if it is, is a 5e?

[low pond]

What...?

[steep igloo]

it says networking so i asked if it’s about like wi-fi and stuff

and if a 5e cable was good

[peak cloak]

uhh, it's a cable

[low pond]

Exactly, define good

[peak cloak]

it's not good/bad, it depends on what you want

[low pond]

Yep

[steep igloo]

I have a 230 mbps wi-fi, should i keep my 5e or get something better?

[peak cloak]

cat5e is an older standard, still usable, still can do gigabit

hell it can technically do 10gig technically on short runs

[steep igloo]

i’ll take that as a keep it

[peak cloak]

10gig over copper sucks anyway

[rocky badge]

lol

They only gave us 8 Cat6 runs in the tech booth

So we're gonna run our own completely separated cat6 for our network

[thick minnow]

my whole damn house is either cat6 or cat5e now all running through the attic

made things suuuuuper easy

i even repurposed the old att box outside that ran pots with uv cat5e to run an AP into my bedroom

[rocky badge]

We're probably gonna be running at least 12 new Cat6

[thick minnow]

then for my office

i replaced the ceiling light with one that isnt terrible, but its not that bad

my wife took the downstairs office with french doors, so i got a mancave in one of the upstairs bedrooms

[rocky badge]

one year I ran cat6 & fiber in the house lol

[thick minnow]

fiber is something i havent worked with yet, too many tools to buy, wife wont let me 😦

[rocky badge]

So I had fiber to the PC

I could have fiber all the way to the PC, except from my ONT to my switch it's CAT6

[rocky badge]

my parents were like "ok as long as it doesn't make a mess" 😂

Then I added 10 gig to my server

lol

[peak cloak]

prob will be moving for college next year, kinda stopped buying stuff now

[rocky badge]

@pulsar thorn 🤪 https://i.ryois.me/6L1i2hQai2.png

I've spent $2.4k on it so far

Not that bad tbh

[hardy sandal]

I can get cisco 6500 series for free bruh

[rocky badge]

Could be worse

[pulsar thorn]

:(

The jealousy that flooded through me just then is stupid

[rocky badge]

I haven't touched a lot of it in a while

Which is nice

[hardy sandal]

Bruh , u have big house or ?

[rocky badge]

nah, only 1.8k sqft

[hardy sandal]

And u spent 2.4k on network

Bruh

I spent money only for servers,switches,patch panels.

I can get all stuff for free

[peak cloak]

I got a lot for free as well

[rocky badge]

We have an AP in the garage for the car 🤪 🤪

[peak cloak]

my "servers" and switch I got for free

[rocky badge]

outdoor AP for porch/backyard

[peak cloak]

really only spent money on structural cabling, rack, and router

[rocky badge]

You can actually see the fiber in the background LOL

[peak cloak]

got a lot of cables for free as well

[hardy sandal]

I get cables for free in school

I hope i can get cisco nexus

[rocky badge]

but my network isn't the most expensive hobby lol

[hardy sandal]

My expensive hobby is HAM and Airsoft

[peak cloak]

FPV drones are pretty expensive too

[hardy sandal]

And electronic

[peak cloak]

just got a RTF drone kit last last month

[hardy sandal]

Nice

[peak cloak]

already broke some stuff

[rocky badge]

I want to spend way too much money on RF shit

[peak cloak]

lost GPS module, then found it

[rocky badge]

That I have zero use for at home

[peak cloak]

video antennae is broken, but still works. and I lost one of the receiver antennaes after it broke

[rocky badge]

and video broadcasting stuff

[hardy sandal]

I spend money on military stuff and military radio stations and receivers

[rocky badge]

I also have zero use for that at home, but I want to spend money on that

[peak cloak]

RF as in?

[rocky badge]

radio freq

[peak cloak]

yeah but what specifically?

just radios?

[rocky badge]

Wireless microphone shit lollll

[hardy sandal]

I have "rare" racal radio stations

[rocky badge]

UHF stuff

[peak cloak]

oh

[hardy sandal]

Blob do u have rtl sdr?

[rocky badge]

no

[hardy sandal]

Oh

This is so "OP" usb for RF

[peak cloak]

SDR seems cool

I've wanted a radio to be able to listen to aircraft coms

[peak cloak]

SDR could prob do that cheaply?

[rocky badge]

baby shark doo doo doo

[hardy sandal]

Yes

[rocky badge]

I needed a temporary way to mount this fin so I just grabbed a 2x4 from the workshop lolll

[hardy sandal]

But if aicraft coms have crypto for their frequencys u can't listening their coms , monkey

[peak cloak]

yeah ik, it's not

I'm an avgeek myself

[hardy sandal]

Im making imsi catcher

[peak cloak]

even ads-b isn't encrypted

[hardy sandal]

By crazy danish hacker

[peak cloak]

but that basically just transmits aircraft position

[hardy sandal]

So with rtl sdr and gsm 16TB tables u can encrypt gsm calls and messages

[peak cloak]

huh

[hardy sandal]

Just receiving not TRX

TRX is riskit

[peak cloak]

SDRs can transmit though right?

[hardy sandal]

Nope only receive

For transmit u need to buy beter sdr

[peak cloak]

ah

makes sense

[hardy sandal]

With rtl sdr and russian code u can listening not encrypted tetra radio

[peak cloak]

but 30 bucks is cheap so not complaining

[hardy sandal]

buy it

I was thinking about DF-direction finding receiver

[peak cloak]

what antennae?

[hardy sandal]

?

[peak cloak]

ik very little about rf

[peak cloak]

needs an antenna too no?

[hardy sandal]

Yes

[peak cloak]

does the antenna depend on the range receiving?

[hardy sandal]

U need 500khz-1.75ghz antenna for rtl sdr

[peak cloak]

ah ok, so there are antennas with a wide freq range

[hardy sandal]

Yeah

I have ah2000 antenna for icom receiver

[south blade]

because I forgot to stop the recording and I can't remote into the PC

[waxen scroll]

is this still high school? what kind of time commitment do you have to do to participate in that?

[rocky badge]

lol

[waxen scroll]

I did this stuff outside of school and the time commitment was 12hr/weekend but only on weekends you're scheduled

[rocky badge]

99% of this was during school hours ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[waxen scroll]

oh? being a tech is a class?

[rocky badge]

yes

[waxen scroll]

[rocky badge]

I only have one real class this year anyways

So my teacher don't care what I do

I'm in his class for like 3/4ths of the day

[waxen scroll]

I only did computer electives myself... Web dev, CAD, the usual suspects

[rocky badge]

Hopefully we'll get our Mac tomorrow or Monday

Then all of the monitor arms, stage box, cabling next week

@waxen scroll Tonight was our veteran's day perf. One of the photographers there was using the fucking flash

There's plenty of lighting on the stage, you don't need it

My phone takes good enough photos without a flash

[peak cloak]

I've never liked using flash when taking photos

Unnatural light

[rocky badge]

Use it at the appropriate time

This was not an appropriate time

[peak cloak]

When needed sure, but most of the time, not needed

[waxen scroll]

i have flash turned off on my phone. i only turn it on if I think what I see on screen sucks

also dat night sight mode

We have loads of conduit

[peak cloak]

yeah, that's what I meant

those systems with those boxes, etc.

[rocky badge]

Even to the catwalk (in the background)

We're only using like 2 of those 4 conduits

[peak cloak]

ah, like that

[rocky badge]

From FOH to booth, we have like 6 conduit

2 fat ones, 4 smaller ones

oh more than 6. its like 10 lollll

[waxen scroll]

lol that looks like drop ceiling sprinkler pipe

into a water heater too

[rocky badge]

I think it is too lol

[waxen scroll]

oh, i thought you put cables in it

[rocky badge]

Wait, are you talking about the thing in focus

the conduits I was talking about are in the back of the photo

[faint depot]

So I didn't know this, but my wife actually pays a monthly rental fee for our modem. o.O
I'd like to... stop paying for the rental. The modem is an NTT GE-ODU. It looks like this:

But, my ISP says we could get up to gigabyte speeds, I feel like this modem won't allow that.

I'm not sure if I'd run into compatibility issues if I try to replace it, and if I did, I'm not sure what I'd replace it with.

Any suggestions on what to do, or what replacement to buy?

[dry ferry]

ISP modems have a reputation of being buggy, and having poor WiFi range and performance. Looking at the manual, it looks like this guy takes in fibre internet. If it were me I'd do what LTT did in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCz1DeM_7aM and set the modem into bridge mode and feed your Internet into a third party router, as I'm not aware of any consumer routers that are able of taking that in on their own.

[faint depot]

Oh, yeah I have a router already, but the modem sucks.

I thought I could replace it, primarily to stop the rental fees.

[peak cloak]

Uhh you have fiber?

Since it says ONU

With fiber it's very tricky

[peak cloak]

well it depends here, usually for DOCISS service, there is an additional modem rental fee

but for fiber, you can't use your own equipment offically, so it's not it's own seperate cost

[peak cloak]

modems modulate/demodulate the signal to/from DSL/Coax

a router can't do that

ISP provided eqipment is usually a modem/wireless router all in one

you can very well just have a normal modem, and no need for weird bridge mode things

which is what I had

[faint depot]

Hmm, that's very confusing. I guess I've never really looked into it. :S

So, I should just continue paying the rental fee?

[cinder canopy]

At least you don’t have one of spectrum’s new routers

They have to be managed on the spectrum app and will not function unless they are properly added to the account

But at least it’s a Wifi 6 with 4x4 antennas for both bands

No way to login from 192.168.1.1

And set it up that way, spectrum has to do it

[obtuse cypress]

That sounds terrible

[peak cloak]

spectrum is DOCISS no?

could easily buy a modem and router? or are they stupid and mac address lock it

[faint depot]

Does that mean you have to call spectrum every time you want to forward a port?

Hmm, I'm going to keep trying to replace this modem. I don't like the actual modem itself. Feels like a cheap 40 dollar device, and I'm sure we're paying 12 or so dollars per month to rent it.

I'll call my ISP and tell them I want to replace it. >.<

[peak cloak]

do you have fiber?

[cinder canopy]

Yes

Do y’all know a way to login to the Askey SAX1V1K?

You can’t do much on the spectrum app

[peak cloak]

can't find anything

best bet would be to get your own modem and router

[rocky badge]

This? https://fccid.io/H8NSAX1V1K/User-Manual/User-Manual-4757298.pdf

[peak cloak]

apparently there isn't even a webui

need to use spectrem app bs

[cinder canopy]

Yeah

But 192.168.1.1/warehouse gets you to a sign in page

[peak cloak]

oh it does

[cinder canopy]

This is the actual manual https://d15yx0mnc9teae.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/2020-12/WiFi 6 User Guide 12092020.pdf

[peak cloak]

oh wait, so you do have a seperate modem

[peak cloak]

since on the back it only shows ethernet

[rocky badge]

I don't think Spectrum has a combo unit

[cinder canopy]

Yeah it’s great hardware for free

[peak cloak]

so just get your own router

[cinder canopy]

No combo unit except for 100mbps

[rocky badge]

Their modem now is a 2.5Gbps port too

[cinder canopy]

But it’s a free Wifi 6 router

[peak cloak]

eh, imo I could care less if it's wifi 6 if I can't do anything with it except basic stuff

[cinder canopy]

And you get 550 down on their equipment which you can’t get on your own(btw I only pay for 400)

[peak cloak]

I mean how do you know?

[cinder canopy]

I’ve had old equipment in the past

[peak cloak]

if you want to experiment, try plugging in the wan port from modem directly into pc

[peak cloak]

maybe that just couldn't handle it

also was that wifi?

[cinder canopy]

Also when one of support agents messes something up when adding the equipment to the account they don’t blame me

[cinder canopy]

Actually Ethernet

You basically got 400 down even

[peak cloak]

I doubt they would have different qos rules for spectrum equipment vs your own

[rocky badge]

that's illegal in the US

[peak cloak]

new law? I heard something about it

[rocky badge]

for ISPs to prevent you from using your own equipment

[peak cloak]

but only if it's an additional charge or no?

[rocky badge]

The only time ISPs may prevent you from using your own equipment is if it doesn't work at all

[paper gazelle]

How many switches does this rack have? (Important)

[rocky badge]

[rocky badge]

https://i.ryois.me/bLVq293d1B.png

[paper gazelle]

Thx

[peak cloak]

hmm, but does this apply to internet as well? multichannel video programming distributor

[rocky badge]

https://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2016/db0510/DA-16-512A1.pdf

Section 629 of the Act, as implemented by Section 76.1201 of the Rules, prohibits
MVPDs from “prevent[ing] the connection or use of navigation devices” on their network. It provides an
exception from this prohibition only “where electronic or physical harm would be caused by the
attachment or operation” of a navigation device, or when the device could be, or is intended or designed
to be, used for “the unauthorized receipt of service.”1
“Navigation devices” include cable modems, which
are used to access “other services” (namely, broadband Internet access)

[peak cloak]

cuz would that apply to lets say verizon fios? would they be required to provide information for you to be able to use your own gpon module

[rocky badge]

no

GPON isn't like DOCSIS

[peak cloak]

yeah ik

it's complicated

[rocky badge]

DOCSIS is a common standard that if the modem and ISP implement it correctly, all DOCSIS modems work on a DOCSIS network

ISPs cannot claim that 3rd party equipment don't work on their DOCSIS network

However with GPON, they can

because of proprietary vendor extensions/config

[peak cloak]

yeah, it sucks

[clear igloo]

And wrong

[peak cloak]

cat 5e can do gigabit

[clear igloo]

Yup ^

[rocky badge]

My ISP offers a ZyXEL router for $5/mo but it's 100% optional

[clear igloo]

100m

[peak cloak]

verizon fios has an option to use theirs but it's optional

[rocky badge]

5e does gigabit as far as 6 does

both are 100m

[clear igloo]

Cat rating doesn't increase distance

[peak cloak]

no, not to spec

[clear igloo]

Not per spec it can't, it's luck of the draw beyond that

[rocky badge]

yup ^

nope

[clear igloo]

4.5m per the IEEE spec but some can do 20m on high quality cables I'm reading

[rocky badge]

@clear igloo I need an AP like this 😩 https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-wireless/products/unifi-in-wall-hd

[clear igloo]

@rocky badge Just buy the entire store 😛

[rocky badge]

no

[peak cloak]

contracts as in?

[rocky badge]

It would go well beside my jacks in my room lol

[clear igloo]

AT&T fiber doesn't afaik

[peak cloak]

oh yeah verizon fios does

[clear igloo]

psh, only 1 fiber and copper jack

When my parents renovate a house or build new, I'm making them put in conduit

[clear igloo]

Nice!

[rocky badge]

if my mom inherits my grandmother's house, she has a shed that we can add a mini split, insulation, security, and a subpanel to...boom server room. @clear igloo

[clear igloo]

That's sick

[rocky badge]

put pipe in the ground to run a mpo

[clear igloo]

MPO breakouts ftw

12 or 24 strand?

[rocky badge]

it also pains me to see YouTubers run multiple fiber somewhere instead of MPO

LTT

[rocky badge]

[paper gazelle]

Any smart networking people mind helping me with homework?
The question is: You go to visit your grandmother and WiFi is buzzing, you are looking at the logs of the WiFi router. Grandma doesn't use the internet very much and you see in the log that a device is constantly going to http: //asv.transsion [.] .Com. Very strange. What's up? What device is going there?

[peak cloak]

quick google search: https://therecord.media/malware-found-preinstalled-in-classic-push-button-phones-sold-in-russia/

[paper gazelle]

sorry I am googling in my native language and took some time to translate the question

[peak cloak]

all I googled btw https://www.google.com/search?q=asv.transsion

[paper gazelle]

oh, well

thx anyways

[waxen scroll]

lol is that snagit?

they're hitting me up to renew my maintenance

[rocky badge]

idk

not my pic lol #networking message

[waxen scroll]

yeah but you put numbers on it

[rocky badge]

yeah, to count the number of switches in the pic for them

[fading oar]

UM

i changed the hostname of my server because i reinstalled ubuntu and uh

[faint depot]

I have no idea. I'll have to find out on monday. >.<

[peak cloak]

just asking, cuz you can't replace modem with fiber easily or sometimes at all

[peak cloak]

it's cuz of the reinstall

same ip, and different ssh fingerprint will bring that up

[fading oar]

how do i fix it

[peak cloak]

go to /home/kaiac/.ssh/known_hosts

find the line with the host

delete said line, save it

try again

[faint depot]

I see. I asked my wife if she knew, and she's never heard of fiber.

Guess it's not a huge thing in Japan.

[peak cloak]

Take a pic of the cable going into modem

Don't need to take anything out, just show it connected

[viral canopy]

could anyone maybe diagnose my problem? i built a pc about 2 weeks ago now and had no problems in terms of internet connectivitiy to games on my old pc. When I try to play gaes itll make me dc midway into the match saying i lost onnectivity to the host server ik it isnt the game bc it happens w almost every game i play valorant,apex,wz,coldwar,vanguard i check the server status of the said game and theres no problem. It doesnt happen everytime but it occurs quite often.

[faint depot]

It's the white cable on the right.

[peak cloak]

Huh, it could be fiber, could you take a closer pic? Maybe a pic of the wall socket or modem socket

[faint depot]

One sec, on it.

I can unplug it a little later and show the connector, but I've got to go for the time being.

[peak cloak]

It looks like fiber

I've got a very similar thing as well

[faint depot]

Hmm... that's no good. I'll still contact the isp. They'll probably make it difficult for me, but it's worth a try.

They dont open until Monday.

[fading oar]

heya
so i managed to successfully login to my redis database with a gui on another computer, how do i create something like a spredsheet.
p.s. i only need a single table of information, its nothing special

[peak cloak]

https://redis.io/topics/data-types-intro

I've really only worked with redis keys

redis is really meant for cache, not permanent storage

I used it as part of a bot which would retrive info from an API, but the API had a rate limit, so I would cache all the requests

so I would have a function to get API paths, which would check if it's cached, and return if cached, or if not, would send out a HTTP request

[fading oar]

ah

[peak cloak]

you can sync a redis storage to a permament database ofc

[fading oar]

is there any decent open source ones with a GUI? so it works similarly to libre-base

[peak cloak]

why gui?

if anything you have a database

then connect to the database with a client, which may have a gui

[fading oar]

its apart of a school assesment, the client has to have a gui but the server doesnt

[peak cloak]

hell, libre-base does exactly that

can connect to MySQL/MariaDB, Adabas D, MS Access and PostgreSQL

[fading oar]

ohhh yessss

[peak cloak]

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/libreoffice-base/

[fading oar]

should i switch from redis to something like mysql?
for the database

[peak cloak]

yeah, redis is not really a database to store things

[fading oar]

ok

[peak cloak]

Redis is an open source in-memory data structure store

[fading oar]

ah

[peak cloak]

basically everything is stored in ram

[fading oar]

i searched opensource database and clicked the second result XD

[peak cloak]

I'm not too good with databases, but mariadb is pretty good

made by mysql devs, and it's basically a fork of MySQL

and fully open-source

[fading oar]

the display for my ubuntu server isnt the right size im so glad ssh exists

thanks for helping ^-^

[peak cloak]

Np

[swift gazelle]

so ive got a problem where my lan connection isnt working, ive tried running windows troubleshoot thing and it said "ethernet doesnt have a valid ip configuration / not fixed"

[austere relic]

Try uninstalling in device manager, unplug the cable, then plug it back in (and re enable in device manager if needed, I don't remember how it works exactly). Other than that, try just rebooting the computer. Hope that helps.

that's interesting

[serene sparrow]

Hello

I need wifi recommendation

What wifi is the best wifi

[low pond]

define wifi, router? Spec? ISP?

[serene sparrow]

Router

Is tplink ax 1500 or ac1200 ok?

[clear igloo]

AX has theoretically faster performance but unless you've got WiFi 6 (AX) clients it won't really give you any benefit

[serene sparrow]

I've got 1 only

The rest are wifi 5

[clear igloo]

Then whatever is cheaper would be fine in your case

[serene sparrow]

I'm wondering how it'll handle 20 devices tho

[clear igloo]

If they're the same price go with the AX just for better longevity with new stuff

[hot hawk]

Y'all - Who here has spliced fiber. I have possibly a few questions

[peak cloak]

never done it, all ik is that there are 2 ways, and it's just better to buy premade cables

also don't ask to ask, just ask

[distant wedge]

I have already prefaced it because if I don't ask the first question, it gets lost to the void

[peak cloak]

not necessarily

[primal ice]

https://www.amazon.com/Welding-Splicing-Machine-Automatic-Function/dp/B07N8M6DP5 that is what it takes to splice fiber

[peak cloak]

well there's 2 ways from my research

that

or mechanical splicing

[distant wedge]

In any case - I need to know the significance of removing a certain length of cladding / coating while prepping the cable, as well as while cleaving the cable before it's fused / mechanically spliced

[peak cloak]

@waxen scroll @clear igloo or @hollow marlin prob know

[distant wedge]

Already asked Lurick, he's got no clue, but perhaps the other two know

[peak cloak]

there was someone in r/homelab who worked as a ISP tech, but I think he left

[waxen scroll]

Nope. I buy pre terminated

[distant wedge]

Yeah, this would be the ISP tech kind of question lol

Well, I was hoping to get a general idea, but in any case, that's fine

[waxen scroll]

I hear the process is quite difficult unless you have experience

[distant wedge]

I've watched a few videos, it seems dressing the splice tray is more difficult than actually splicing

[ornate jungle]

One of the most comprehensive videos covering Fiber splicing I've seen yet. It covers both Fusion and Mechanical splicing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xba2MThR9Ls

[distant wedge]

I've actually watched this, along with other youtube videos, none of them have answered my question, but I'm starting to think that the lengths are the way they are so you don't have too much glass flying all over the place when you cleave

[ornate jungle]

The amount of sheathing removed from cables during most splicing or connections is kept to a minimum so as not to leave more of the cable unprotected than is needed to complete the connection. Or in the case of twisted cables like ethernet, it's to prevent untwisting more than needed.

[hollow marlin]

It's about removing as little as possible, I usually did about .5".

[distant wedge]

Okay, so I guess I was on the right track. I just needed that confirmation

Thanks you two

I actually got hired as a field service tech for the local ISP, but I want to be informed on practices and how things are done before I go in just so I have the gist of it

[hollow marlin]

If you are getting into splicing. Most don't tell you but do not get a sliver. AKA, don't touch the end of a spliced fiber. Other than that it's pretty straightforward

[distant wedge]

Lol yeah I remember reading about that. I will definitely use my due diligence

[waxen scroll]

@hollow marlin guess what

I have a switch that is not forwarding packets FIFO on just one port of a big port channel

Luricks company makes the best bugs

It sends some packets out of order

We haven't told TAC yet

[hollow marlin]

Yeah let TAC have fun fixing that. How bad is it? Or what about changing the hash config and see if anything changes?

[ornate jungle]

This should be part of your training package. If there is no training or at least a quality check to ensure applicants know how to do the job, I'm very concerned for customers of this ISP. I have seen some outage tickets where really dodgy Fiber Backbone splices are performed due to the Fiber Splice contractor not knowing what they're doing, resulting in repeated breakages at the same location over and over again.

Congrats on the job though; I've always wondered what field work actually entails in the Telecom industry.

[waxen scroll]

It's bad

[distant wedge]

Oh I'm sure it'll be part of the training package, I just like to learn a little bit before I go in so I understand what I'm doing. I find that some trainers don't know how to rescue the people they're training. My hope is that I'm able to use what I've learned from both youtube videos, as well as in class training to support myself when I go out into the field. I've done field work in other jobs, and I always try to do things the way I'd want them to be done if I were the one signing up for the service.

Causing performance issues for some servers and not others

Business units are mad

[distant wedge]

However, I have heard a lot of horror stories about my ISP screwing up their own splice trays because they don't actually deal with the splice trays, they subcon people to do splices from the CO to the neighbourhood, and those are often mismatched

So CO to neighbourhood is outsourced, but neighbourhood to house is done by the ISP, and sometimes it just doesn't work. I'm just like.... why

[primal ice]

bean counters its cheaper to contract the work out then have a person on the payroll doing nothing 40% of the time.

[ornate jungle]

Super smart of you to do that - hopefully the ISP appreciates your ambition to learn everything you need to know to do the job properly, the first time, as it's far cheaper to just pay more up front to do it right than to repeatedly contract out multiple crews over and over again.

[waxen scroll]

@hollow marlin we have expensive tac

They'll have to build the whole thing in lab

[plucky delta]

Ppl active at this hour?

[peak cloak]

it's prime time EST

[plucky delta]

Fair nuff

I'm feeling a little stumped and unprepared. I have a old server I'm thinking of repurposing in to a Nas but i start to remember how little I've actually interacted with servers compared to PCs and laptops

[distant wedge]

Every day's a new day to learn

[peak cloak]

what model server

cuz how old is it, at a certain point, it's just old as it'll be power hungry, hot, and loud

[plucky delta]

An old dell poweredge t110 ll

[peak cloak]

hmm that's a bit old

[plucky delta]

Was going to make it a truenas machine i could hook up in some corner with just power and Ethernet

Since i payed such little money for the machine and got a great deal on drives, thought it made most sense with truenas

[toxic chasm]

Is there somebody that could help me with port forwarding on a MicroTik router running RouterOS?

Just trying to get plex to work over the internet and having issues

Weather I try to UPnP it or make a forwarded port I cant get it.

Plex will say it works for a second or two, then will stop working

[peak cloak]

should be just a dnat rule and firewall rule

[toxic chasm]

I have gone to Firewall -> NAT and created a dstnat rule, but plex is still not working

[peak cloak]

how are you testing it

[toxic chasm]

Plex has a built-in utility

[peak cloak]

hmm

[peak cloak]

could I see the rule

[toxic chasm]

These are the sections the guide told me to configure

[peak cloak]

yeah seems correct

just it's not enabled?

or did you disable it for now?

[toxic chasm]

I had disabled it a moment ago

Bringing it back up and trying plex again I get nothing.

Plex is running on a docker on unraid

Is it possible to hit up the command line and check if the port is working or something?

[peak cloak]

you have a public IP right?

[toxic chasm]

Yeah

[peak cloak]

@toxic chasm in all examples I see for dnat I see they add dst-address

with that being the public IP

give that a try?

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/NAT

[toxic chasm]

Nope. Plex is still doing the thing where when I check it says it works for 1/2 a second, then reverts to saying it does not work

got it

Changed in interface to all ethernet and in interface list to WAN

No, it died again

WTF? why will it say it works for a few seconds, then die

[peak cloak]

weird

you could try a tcpdump on that port on the tik and see what packets are going through

[toxic chasm]

Is there a way to like ping it on that port to see if its a networking thing or a software thing?

[peak cloak]

uhh, try the test, but then run tcpdump on tik to see the traffic

tcpdump port 32400

[toxic chasm]

Cant. These are the only commands I have

Unless I need to do something else first

Or are we talking on the unraid box?

nothing there eitherr

[peak cloak]

ah they call it this

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Tools/Packet_Sniffer

[toxic chasm]

All im seeing is local traffic between my computer and the plex web interface

There is no NAT configured on the bridge, could that be an issue?

[peak cloak]

try getting rid of in. interface

[peak cloak]

I mean you have src nat configured no?

and it depends on config

if the ports are in a bridge you want to use the bridge interface to reference those ports

[toxic chasm]

Had to delete and start over, but did try that already

[toxic chasm]

I dont think so? Dont know. Did not do that while trying to get this to work anyway

[peak cloak]

to access the internet, you need src nat to use one IP

[toxic chasm]

Ok

I can access the internet

so I guess so

[peak cloak]

what does the current config look like again?

[toxic chasm]

Oh, yeah. I see it

Guessing this guy right here?

[peak cloak]

yeah masquarade

[toxic chasm]

Was still looking at the bridge, that is back in IP -> Firewall -> nat

[peak cloak]

fyi pub ip is shown if you care, two, get rid of in. interface on the dst-nat rule

trying to get the config to be like the example

[toxic chasm]

That is In. Interface List

not in. interface

[peak cloak]

ah, still get rid of it

[toxic chasm]

k

[peak cloak]

this is what the example shows /ip firewall nat add chain=dstnat action=dst-nat dst-address=172.16.16.1 dst-port=22 to-addresses=10.0.0.3 protocol=tcp

with the internet being reprented by 172.16.x.x

and 10.x.x.x internal

[toxic chasm]

That seems to be what I have

I did find this

XX.XXX.XX.XX is public IP

I think that is the check to make sure its online

Line headers are

TIME INTERFACE SRC-ADDRESS DST-ADDRESS IP-PROTOCOL SIZE CPU FP

Interesting. In the Plex app I can now load the menus and navigate my libraries over LTE (eg not on my network) but I cant stream shows. Maybe it needs another port?

[peak cloak]

No clue, never used plex

I use jellyfin myself

[hot hawk]

I have a zero tier set up on my openwrt router (192.168.0.2)
it can connect to my zerotier network and clients can access the openwrt router web gui when connected to the network

but I cant access any other devices on the network that the openwrt router is connected to, any help?

followed this guide for setup

[sick glade]

Good morning everyone, in my company due to Covid, we had to invest in streaming station to do online demonstrations of our equipments, we have 5 and I hope soon 10 identical computers. I am look for a simple network management software in order to push updates such as windows update, gpu drivers, obs and so on. I saw once an add on a ltt video for that, but I can’t find it anymore. Anyone got an idea ? Thank you

[ornate jungle]

Microsoft's own solution is SCCM. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/understand/introduction

[ornate jungle]

I believe SmartDeploy is one of LTT's sponsors that offers similar functionality. https://www.smartdeploy.com/

[sick glade]

Thanks !

[fading oar]

yo
im trying to connect to MariaDB with a libre-base front end on a different computer on the same lan, can anyone help?

[peak cloak]

Should be as simple as opening the port via firewall and I think you may need to enable remote access but that should be it

Hey, Idk why my Laptop cannot see my desktop in network but my desktop can see my laptop in network and access files.

[bitter shell]

i have enabled the network discovery in both laptop and PC though

[primal ice]

is one linux and one windows?

InTune is a cloud based solution for this too

4G/5G home internet?

Don't know if I screwed myself for delaying signing up for Starlink or it actually now got pushed to early to mid 2022 (was saying late 2021 on the sign up page before). :/

[peak cloak]

starlink is going into v2 stage now or less beta basically

there was a bit of a delay with the new sats

[south blade]

Shet, moving outside the city in a few more weeks, need internet. 🥴

[peak cloak]

What are the options?

Only cellular and sat?

[south blade]

Yeah, BroadbandNow shows my current ISP available at the new address, but I signed up and they called and said no.

[peak cloak]

Could maybe ask how much it would be to get a cable down to your location, if possible

[south blade]

If the cable is where I think it is...I'm like 1,900 feet away.

[bitter shell]

no, both are windows 11

i sus windows 11 because, when both was win 10 i was able to access files and share printers, when i moved 1 pc to windows 11 printer cannot be accessed via network but files does and when i upgrade both to win 11, one PC is not showing in network

[primal ice]

make sure both are set to private networks. guessing one might be on public. is the only thing I can think of.

[south blade]

Are links not allowed or was the service I was trying to ask about censored for a reason?

[primal ice]

the bot is pretty spastic on what it lets through.

[peak cloak]

dm me the link?
