Ihmemies posted:I mean you can play games at 1080p 60.. but 4k120 is faster, and better in every way. So is 10Gbe ethernet compared to 1Gbe. It doesn’t really compare this way. Using the same concept, it’s like buying the 4K 120Hz monitor. You have potential, but the game isn’t automatically in 4K. The cabling , system , processes , etc need to be up to the task . If your server and a switch are connected at 10Gb, but other stations at 1, that could be worse depending on the traffic type and the hardware. You’ll get that extra zero on the stats screen though. In this case linking the two things only, a mGig cable adapter with a 6A cable (actual 6A and not various labeled trash from Amazon or similar) would be a great choice.

Welp. Well. The server without network card was 1700€, so I guess it doesn't hurt too much to lose a bit extra to the 10Gbe cards. Anyways, why is robocopy so slow when moving n very large files? Regular copypaste copies at full speed (gigabit), robocopy at 1/10 speed (100mbit) to a SMB share. Adding threads doesn't seem to help the speed. If I don't use /z it skips the folder it's supposed to copy... Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Oct 14, 2022 |

e: Started to blame SMB but nevermind, I misread. I'm not a robocopy expert but with a bit of searching it looks like the /z option uses a header block that it updates after every write to track progress. If you're on a spinning disk this will be a huge hit on an otherwise sequential workload. Eletriarnation fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Oct 14, 2022 |

Right. I'll have to test to figure out why it doesn't work at all without /z. Maybe it's just easier to copy the files over with copypaste...

I hope this is the right thread, if there's a better place to ask please let me know I'm helping a friend with a restaurant where they use tablets running Square to handle all the POS stuff. The tablets are often refusing to connect at the worst times. The internet access is a iphone in tether mode connected to a pc connected to a wireless router in a back room. I figure this might be the root cause of the problems. What would be the cheapest way to improve this? The setup is only used for the POS tablets so I figure it doesn't need much bandwidth. My current plan is to get one of those cellular modems instead of the iPhone/pc setup and add another wifi router to the middle of the restaurant.

Get a real ap and mount it on the ceiling. Unifi, omada are the two simplest ones. For internet access, if the usual culprits (telco/cable) aren't available, then yeah, rocketsticks (or whatever the local branding is for 5g modem/router) are fairly good if mounted in a spot with good reception (ie, not the basement).

You don't need much and if you are in an urban area it should be pretty cheap. If nobody can provide a wired connection then the big providers may have an LTE offering in the area. They should also consider if they want to offer guest wifi, which is becoming standard practice almost everywhere.

Encountered something insane today. Setup: ATT Fiber with a BGW-200 modem. OPNsense installed on custom hardware running the pfatt bypass in bridge mode to let me bypass the BGW-200. WLAN is served by a TP-Link XE5300 that I got a good deal on at Costco. Things had been operating with no issues for several months when out of nowhere, devices on WLAN could not see devices on either LAN or WAN. OPNsense indicated nothing wrong, but I bounced it anyway. Did not resolve the issue. I then bounced the TP-Link. No resolution. I then disconnected from WLAN and tried to WireGuard into the home server via cellular connection. This connected fine, and I could see that wired devices on the LAN had full access to the LAN and WAN. Certain that the TP-Link was at fault, I hard reset it. No joy. I then changed the switch port that the TP-Link was plugged into. No joy. Finally, I moved the cable plugged into the TP-Link port 1 to port 2. Everything was instantly fixed. I have not retested port 1 but assume it is dead. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen an Ethernet port die that was not related to an electrical mishap. Moral of the story is, buy from a place with an unlimited return policy if you must buy sketchy hardware.

Also, I’d be surprised to have the TP Link bite it due to a surge but not any of the upstream equipment (switch, OPN hardware, ATT gateway, ATT ONT). I was just surprised to see a port be at fault when there are a dozen software-related things that could go wrong in my setup.

What would prevent a 10/100 copper port from switching to base 10 when connecting? If you connect a native 10 base device it will establish a link but any 10/100 or 10/100/1000 device will not switch to 10 base, it's like the cable is still disconnected. I'm having a hard time finding any relevant information probably because I don't know the correct terminology, I get a lot of articles that are search terms repeated over and over with no actual information.

Ethernet has an autonegotiation protocol where both the switch/hub and device try to find the greatest common speed and duplex they support. A bad or improperly terminated cable, or misconfiguration on managed devices could cause a downgrade to a slower link speed but generally they should prefer the higher speeds.

Thanks for the term. It's a base 10 MM fiber to base 10 rj45 media converter, I'm guessing the auto negotiation failed to get all the way to the faster devices where the base 10 only device didn't need it to just start working. Time to find a faster media converter.

gently caress. Of course this loving stupid gaming case/mobo doesn't have room for a card in 2022. I forgot about that. PCIE slots are replaced with m.2 slots.  In the lowest slot the front panel audio connector interfered with the heatsink. I probably should install a fan to the heatsink. IF THERE'S ROOM. Some loving slim fit noctua may fit still, and it can draw air through the perforated pcie shroud. At least the cards work. In linux it worked straight out of the box. In Windows I had to manually download Intel Drivers, manually unzip them, manually open devmgmt with admin rights, manually install the driver twice for 2 separate lan devices/ports. Great experience really. Will these X540 intel NICs cook without the tiny fan when they're idling? Edit: also the click tabs from the other card are broken, great. I have to ask if I can swap it for a functioning one. Some idiot has just forcefully unplugged cables from the NIC or they are not durable at all.

How does pihole actually work? I thought it would be some kind of proxy server which I just boot up in docker, setup the device to use pihole's IP as a proxy and be done with it. But no. I pulled pihole/pihole from docker hub but when it tries to start it says:code:I have a DHCP sever already running in pfsense, I just want to route one ipad's internet traffic through pihole.

Pihole is just a project that integrates a WebUI and combined DHCP daemon and recursive caching name server daemon called dnsmasq. You either configure your devices to use it to look up things via resolv.conf (or the equivalent on other OS), or get clients up for you by relying on the DHCP functionality. It looks to me like it's not got the right permissions in /etc/pihole/, so that'd be the first thing to fix.

So I have to configure DNS servers to pihole, then pihole works as a DNS service for devices where I manually add the IP to use pihole's ip instead of automatic DNS server? Hmm. The pihole default config suggested: https://hub.docker.com/r/pihole/pihole volumes: - './etc-pihole:/etc/pihole' - './etc-dnsmasq.d:/etc/dnsmasq.d' So I put the same to volume settings:  Every other docker container has worked just fine for now, so I have no idea what to really do when things don't work

Your clients use the Pi-hole as a DNS server, and the Pi-hole in turn applies blocklists and either returns "no such domain" or forwards the request to whichever public DNS servers you specify, and returns that result.

They convert the media format (ie:fiber to copper), and not the data - many (old ones) were built to literally not care about the signalling/packet contents (ie:zero buffering - bit in on one interface goes out the other), so are unable to do any form of negotiation - some couldn't even do link failure pass through.

I bought 2 supermicro 10gbe cards. One of them had broken rj45 connectors. Cables won’t click into them. They sent me another one and said keep the old for “less critical networks ;-)”. So. I could use it on my htpc and maybe use hot glue to secure the cable? They really didn’t want the card back although I suggested it. Now I’m wondering how expensive 10gbe switches are..

Kinda weird how Ubiquiti is now listing all of their wired products with the name "UISP" in front of everything. The venerated EdgeRouter X is now the UISP EdgeRouter X, and have tweaked the sales copy to sell it as a gigabit router. Geez maybe more like a half gigabit? Guess it doesn't matter much anyway since like 50% of their lines are out of stock at any given moment, with bot-driven opportunists using scripts to bulk order anything that comes into stock to sell on eBay. They now have two items which I suppose will eventually supplant the previous line of EdgeRouters and switches: UISP Router and UISP Switch. The Router has a dual-core MIPS running at 880 MHz, it's literally the EdgeRouter X with twice the RAM and Flash and the same CPU, and 8 PoE (passive) ports.

It's kinda impressive how many Octeon CPUs that Cavium managed to get onto the market, before they got acquired by MicroSemi, for there to still be stock left. The ASIC they use to fastpath network traffic (unless you're doing DPI, if memory serves) is plenty fast for doing 1Mpps of 64 byte Ethernet packets when I used it. If you're doing DPI, set up a divert port to a more powerful machine running suricata.
