I had to rebuild my stupid unifi network at home. I still have to, but I used to, too.

I need to rejoin the stupid access points that are somehow still operating but not really. but gently caress this poo poo I have to do this at work every day, you want me to do it at home? where I live?? gently caress that.

oh neat side project here: i realized that i have a spare gig port on both the linux server and my nas, so i ran a patch cable and moved all the NFS mounts to go over that. now qbittorrent can move completed linux isos to the nas at full gigabit while also downloading more linux isos at full gigabit

i only recently realized that i could use the openvswitch install on my synology (part of the virt host thing?) and use that as a switch to supplement my meager router. now everything actually has an ethernet port hell yeah

(this is what i get for being obsessive about low-power routers that have like 2 ports)

i wanna complain about software devs thinking that adding more default routes that point to routers that dont go anywhere fixes problems

but i get part of the way through describing the situation and just … gently caress

i accept that im the rear end in a top hat, fine

but… dont current compsci and sweng degree programs have at least 1 networking course that tests you on understanding how a multi homed routing table is gonna work?

didnt they explicitly tell you that multiple default routes is a special special case and you dont need that ever until you know why you dont need that?

multiple default routes work just fine but if you're using provider-assigned address space from multiple providers of course you'll need some policy rules to make sure source address selection is performed correctly

hell you can even put a whole rear end routing table in a linux box

yep “can work fine” absolutely when “special case of multiple providers”


that aint what this is. this is a kvm host in a dev lab with 1 network that points to the world and 1 private network thats only in the lab with no routers on it.

oo i know ill add a bridge in the kvm host for an internal to kvm virtual network and set the kvm hosts default route to point to that network instead of the rest of the world. oh wait why cant i ssh into the kvm host from outside the lab now? oh noooooo.

i ended up diying a linux router (debian stable) on a protectli box. running systemd-networkd and firewalld, with all the configuration in a basic ansible config in a git repo making it easy to rebuild later or revert if i break something. wanted something that could serve as a wireguard gateway and also run arbitrary docker containers

got everything working in about a day, with the one annoyance currently being that the built-in dhcp server in systemd-networkd is technically functional but extremely barebones. like afaict theres no way to list the hostnames used by clients to figure out where things are. the best i can find is a list of ips/mac addresses in "networkctl status <iface>"

meanwhile i've already got it running adguard home in a docker container for the dns server, and that has a dhcp server feature, so i might just try using that for the dhcp service too. however the file format for tracking static leases is undocumented which doesn't give me much confidence that it's much better

also firewalld is good but its docs are awful, and requiring "--" for command parameters in firewall-cmd is haram. thinking that ill want to switch to direct nftables someday but firewalld had everything i needed for now and was quick to get functioning despite the docs situation. for example i ended up creating my own zones from scratch because i didn't get the point of the built-in ones. i also don't know when you would want zone rules vs a separate policy, the latter seems to be newer and usually unnecessary

an upside for mikrotik is that it is surprisingly *easier* to find information/docs/support for than from scratch options

yeah if we're talking about the miktrotik CLI it's a little bit quirky and bespoke but it probably compares favorably to the rats nest of dozens of quirky and bespoke formats that is /etc/* on a linux box with equivalent services?

i do disable all the winbox, web interface, HTTP API, etc. garbage on mikrotiks, though, that poo poo's awful

i mean you probably don't want to think too much about all those CVE's in mikrotik's homegrown protocol implementations since they didn't want to use off the shelf daemons

in my case i had been using the web interface on the dish (LHG XL 52 ac), was wanting to get it to act as a transparent AP, with the wired connection acting as upstream to the two radios. had thought i was doing this correctly but i kept getting it into a mode where it wasn't working at all and i couldn't reach the web ui anymore, so i kept having to climb an orchard ladder to get up the pole and hit the reset button so that it was reachable again

eventually gave up and picked one of the easy mode prebake configs in the ui to run it as a basic router, it's been running fine that way for like a year now

if i decide to try again ill probably just take it down off the pole mount first, which i assume guarantees that it'll work correctly the first time

best all-flash block-based storage in the game. i would say "ok" at file-based storage.

notable good/bad thing: you have to use their support for installation, for software upgrades, phone-home is basically required, etc. it's almost like a managed product. which is good if you don't like doing that kind of stuff yourself, but bad if you don't like having to schedule an appointment just to roll code.

one of my worst home networking bugs was where i'd get disconnected every hour from the internet for like 2-3 seconds. i figured out it was every 1 hour because it always happened at least three times during my 3-hour wow raid.

i ended up going deep and connecting directly to the modem and wiresharking for a few hours. i discovered that comcast was issuing dhcp leases for two (2) hours, so my device would try to renew at the half-life of one (1) hour.

however, the server that my dhcp renew message went to at comcast would send a NAK, which caused the lease to fail and my device would start over. the new request always worked (for the same ip even). it was like the request vs renew messages were getting routed to different dhcp servers on their side.

after talking to a friend of a friend at comcast, i discovered that the 2-hour lease timer was abnormal; they usually set it low like that when they're going to do a maintenance. so if you're still getting 2-hour leases, a dhcp server somewhere in their network is on maintenance-mode.

i ended up fixing the issue by regenerating a new MAC address on my virtual router's WAN port because there was literally zero way to contact anyone at comcast with any capacity to actually fix the issue
