thanks for the hot tip friend :)

also sorry for being a dick a while ago to you. :/





e: I'm trying have a homepage for rodtronics, but there are many options, and I don't know what I'm doing lol. is it better to use a squarespace style thing, or try to put it together myself and host it on something like fastly? I guess just keep experimenting.

the point of fastly is a distributed CDN cache, you'd use it in combination with something like squarespace or whatever lets you build your website, then you point fastly at THAT domain, and your REAL domain to Fastly, and now you get the benefit of the squarespace DIY site, but not having to pay them $$$$$$ for hosting, since you consolidate the content in the cache parent tier, and then pay a much much smaller rate to Fastly to do the lifting of last mile delivery

basically,

squarespace/et al. = DIY website tool is free, hosting is megabucks
Fastly = no webpage hosting themselves, but they take what squarespace gives you for free and take over for the actual serving of traffic, which they are wayyyyy cheaper at (cuz squarespace et al. make their $$ by overcharging for that portion)

you'll still need squarespace to serve it a little, its just your GBs transferred will be cut in like, a half prolly if its low volume. the more volume you add tho, like if featured ina 10k like tweet and you get 'slashdotted' you'll owe not a single penny more to squarespace on the hosting part data transferred, cuz fastly just does that part. and you might owe like, a couple bucks worth of fastly for the rush of traffic.

basically it caps your costs, at this scale

uhhhh

so I moved into a new apartment building

There's some wacky local ISP that put an ethernet drop into my apartment. I called them and in about 13 seconds they flipped on ~300 mbit of internet for a free trial and said 'we'll call you back in 2 weeks to see how you like it'.

Their phone option for 'Tech Support' just calls their network engineer, who I spoke to in their car, and found out that they just run a Cat5 link back to their closet, and you can patch it into whatever port you want in your unit

I also discovered that they just slap everyone in my corner of the building on the same subnet with absolutely zero separation, and I can see like 4 AppleTVs on my computer right now.

if they can do all that poo poo they can implement a vlan for your port just ask them to do that lmao

they should be EMAZ or EFAX white label reds, non-shingled tho?

halp how do i diagnose low-level ethernet bullshit without $bignum of fluke poo poo

i have one of those pcengines pfsense boards. i cannot get fuckall when trying to connect to my apartment's internet, which has ethernet wired to the units. ifconfig just reports no carrier when using the same cable that works fine for connecting other devices. connecting the same port to another router negotiates and obtains dhcp info fine, so it's something that happens with this wall port only

i thought maybe there was an issue where the nics couldn't handle negotiating across either type of ethernet cable and i needed a crossover, but no difference with that

is there any way to see the ethernet negotiation... packets? idk, whatever to figure out what's wrong (on FreeBSD, specifically), or is that locked inside the network driver? is there anything else i can try other than setting random manual modes?

You seem really interested in solving layer 2 without really validating layer 1. Do you get a link light when you plug a straight and/or crossover ethernet cable into a dumb hub or switch?

if yes, do you also get link negotiation in the pfsense board port you're choosing to use? have you otherwise admin up'd the port? does it get a link light to a switch/hub?

Let's make sure we have a good layer1/2 to start

they describe the product as audiophile-grade, but fair enough

i mean it is audiophile grade if you're talking about well designed audio amplification, just not the obscene bullshit

the things only 2500 bux its far less than anything else even comparable in performance. i'd totally get one if i was building a home theater i just don't have room in this house for one.
