How did you arrive at a 1300B MTU for your openvpn server?
1460B is the MSS for TCP over IPv4 over Ethernet (which has a standard MTU of 1518B) but I can’t figure out the 1300B.
Maybe AirVPN is fragmenting your packets to fit the 1300B, and when the AirVPN server doesn’t bother you get the message too error. Maybe a limitation on individual servers, which is why it sometimes works.
“Clear to Send” and “Packet Ready” lines coordinate direct neighbor-to-neighbor transmission,
So you’d want to dedicate two pairs to this? As in half the wires? For something that is already dealt with by doing full duplex?
Each host only talks to it’s upstream neighbor.
As in another host? So it’s p2p? How does it scale?
TBH your idea sounds like a mixup of rs232 and token ring.
I really don’t want to stifle innovation, perhaps you could draw it up? I really don’t get the logical-ring stuff
On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I’d 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.
Wow, the US education system must be improved.
I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.
1J is 3600Wh.
No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J
That’s literraly the same thing,
It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.
but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh
Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.
What are you trying to achieve?
You need to be on the same network as the next hop (ie router), otherwise you can’t communicate with it. That means that either your ISP or your VPN provider, will have to have the same prefix.
In a matter of “asking” for an IPv6 address, ie using DHCPv6, I don’t think most ISPs do this. Hopefully your ISP just hands you a GUA prefix through SLAAC, meaning you’ll do a Router Discovery broadcast when enabling IPv6 on your host interface, you’ll get a Router Advertisement back, and from that you get the prefix. With the prefix in hand you generate the last 64bits either randomly or through EUI64 (if privacy isn’t your thing).
When I say hopefully, it’s because at least one of my possible ISPs insists on DHCPv6 with a ridiculously short lease time. Or at least that’s what the customer rep said before I ran away.
System Tray Icon?!? What is this sourcery?
Sounds so futuristic. I mean I may be stuck in the 70s reading my electronic mail in pine on a pdp11, so that may influence my judgment.
Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article, my rant is entirely based on the title.
[a] Fork That Promises Better Features
Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?
Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
Well, if you stab some potatoes, circumcise a cauliflower, and proceed to nunchuck a bag of flour … Then it might just have been a grocery list and now you’re not allowed in the store anymore
Yeah, I think most people, myself included at one time, are more fascinated by RO than we understand the practical considerations.
Use RO locally at a single tap in the house, if the water quality warrants it. Perhaps add a desalination unit before the water heater, or centrally if you have some very hard water. But a central RO? Sounds expensive.
I’ve considered a central RO for prepping purposes, but even then a gravel/sand/active charcoal filter, followed by a UV-C mercury lamp, would probably be more cost effective, and easier to maintain without access to replacement membranes.
No, I’m married, I don’t do offline pron
DownThemAll is one of those extensions which get installed immediately for me. If I didn’t have DownThemAll and uBlock origin, I’d might as well just use edge smh
Packet tracer is definitely not OSS nor free as in speech. But it is probably your best bet for something to get started with. You can go on netacad and get it for free together with the self-paced introduction to packet tracer course. I’m not trying to shrill for Cisco, they’re a soulless company that exploits their position to extort insane prices. But PT is kinda nice, IF! all you want is to build simple networks and you don’t care about being vendor agnostic or only running FOSS.
PS: and cisco? 2900€ for a 24port l3 switch? GTFO, a mikrotik crs326 can do the same and is 200€ and it doesn’t require a DNA-center to enable licensing, why? BECAUSE IT DOESN’T REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LICENSES!!1!one!

This list is GREAT … but if you’d be willing to venture back to the late 90s or early 00s I’ll offer you three more names:
All three are open world.
Unless you go with a pc with 10gig interfaces my suggestion would be a mikrotik ccr2004-16g-2s and a couple of 10gig sfp+ interfaces. It comes with the added bonus of passive cooling and more software options than most of us knows what to do with. Even has WLC capabilities.
OMG the naming schemes for powershell is enough for me to stay away. A +20char name for a command that shares the first 10 chars with 15 other commands, so you can’t just tab through it? No thanks!
Will look into nushell though, thanks for the advice.
Original Finnish management has split off to a new independent company with the same name last year
Best business move EVER! Now people have to wonder with whom they’re doing business. Sorta keeps people on their toes. Way better than coming up with a new brand, making it easier for their five customers. /s
I was wondering what a washing machine needed a TPM for. Better title: “machine fails to boot after power failure”
Thank you for telling why I’m wrong :)
I agree with you partly on your first point. Putin has other ways of making his fortune. BUT that doesn’t mean that he couldn’t also do this. Maybe it’s not the primary reason, but if Putin doesn’t care about Russia or the Russian people, then money could be a motivator.
On your second point IDK though. Russia still has a pretty large black sea port in Novorossiysk to the south east of Crimea. That port is on the mainland, has a rail connection, and doesn’t rely on an explosion prone bridge. Sevastopol may be an important port, but important enough to go to war over? Besides, the black sea ports aren’t the only warm water ports west of the Urals. Not counting the unconnected port in Murmansk, on the Baltic sea there’s Kaliningrad and the three large ports near Saint Petersburg. On wikipedia’s list of largest ports in the Baltic sea, the three at Saint Petersburg are in the top four.
So why go to war for a fifth port? Was Novorossiysk operating at capacity? I dont buy it. The war wasn’t for a path to Sevastopol alone.
You forgot the “classic” version(s?)… God dammit I hate it so much. Why? I can’t even tell the difference and I’m the reactionary kinda guy that ditched Ubuntu over the gui switch in 2012!
