Buster’s slightly concerned he’s about to be replaced with bookworm

They were thinking the same thing the same thing the cable execs were thinking.

“If they have to buy both our service and others, then other service are not my competition.”

So I’ve implemented Obsidian Git, and it works really well. The only trouble I’ve had is on iOS (I’ve got m it on android, fedora, debian and windows) where it’s bot supporting merge changes.

I’m considering moving to logseq and implementing the same.

The other alternative to self hosting is ‘SyncThing’. After I introduced my dad to obsidian, I saw how he did his synchronization with it, and it looks like a lot less overhead - fairly compelling

Happy to share some notes on my setup and his if you like

This is also true for UDP and ICMP connections, in case anyone reading wasn’t sure. This is how you’re able to ping stream and browse from behind your regular firewalls

No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.

Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.

DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.

In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:

I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

$1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.

I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.

Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.

Do not forget to log out and log back in after you add yourself to a new group. Your desktop environment is a program, and it won’t know about the update until you spawn a new graphical shell with the updated permissions.

Just in case it’s not clear from the replies - you can edit pdfs in libre office draw. Text, images, arangements, whatever. It’s all editable.

Lining up the wires, ensuring they’re straight and making sure they’re trimmed to the same length will help avoid crossover too.

You can help straighten them on the square edge of a table, just press them between your finger and the table at the part that’s stripped from the insulation, then pull them over the edge applying pressure the whole time.

You can also look for the newer cat 6 connectors. Lots of brands have an insert that you can slot the wires in to before putting them in the housing, which helps a lot.

Sweet! Yeah, I’m guessing that the iptables-mangle and landing page link setup relies on getting that IP before populating the page, and that it’s not reactive to changing IP address. It might have worked if you were disconnecting networking all together, and joining a different network, but with the wonky way wifi roaming actually works, the mediabox management scripts probably never noticed there was a need to re-trigger.

You’re looking for mdns! Depends on which distro you’re on. For apt based stuff like mint, look for mdns (used to be libnss-mdns on raspberry pis, guessing it’s the same for mint? It’ll install avahi zeroconf stuff if it’s not there already. Check the service is running, then ping $HOSTNAME.local - replace with whatever your host name is.

If you’re starting the mediabox setup on the isp network, it’s doing local natting with iptables, based on the IP that it resolves from the hostname. Probably would need to shut down and re-up to walk between the deco’s and the isp wifi domains.

I agree with the other comments, looks like you might be in a double NAT scenario - fortunately for you, I think I know how to fix it, seeing as we’re both running deco’s!

You want to go into the smartphone app, go to ‘More’ at the bottom right, (as opposed to ‘Network’), Advanced > Operation Mode > Access point.

Be aware this will cause a disruption, and anything connected to them will need to be reconnected so it gets dhcp/ip addressing from the isp router rather than the deco.

The other alternative is, if they’re already in AP mode, it might be recognizing the deco SSID as a separate network to your ISP’s router, and randomizing your mac address (for anonymity across airports and hotels and such). Then, with your original mac address holding the first IP in lease, your ‘new’ mac address gets a different one. Check your mac with ip link too when connected to the two different networks, and see if you can find an option to set it manually for both networks, or just use your default one for those networks.

I’d love to hear how you get on, I’ve been putting off building this exact solution (mediabox) from scratch, had no idea there was a project set up to run it all

Can you give us some more details about how your network, mesh and machines are setup?

Are you trying to access the containers from the machine they’re running on, or from a different machine?

Is the container host moving between different AP’s, or is it on ethernet?

What IP address do you get when connected to the different access points? Does it change?

Are your access points in Access Point only mode, or are they acting as routers? What brand/model?

How are the mesh access points connected - powerline, ethernet, wifi meshing?

I found out the other day that LibreOffice Draw has a full pdf editor built in.

I know adobe makes many more products, but boy do I like telling people they don’t have to pay for Acrobat!
