(#lz6e7ra) @mckinley@twtxt.net To be honest, Iām not doing that much computer stuff at the moment. After work, Iām usually heading right for my bass. š (Or Netflix. š)
(#m6xngra) @mutefall@twtxt.net IIRC, we gave Juniper a try a while back. š¤ Something wasnāt right, but I donāt remember anymore what it was (probably the API not being available or not good enough?). 𫤠But this was 5 years ago or more, maybe it has changed ā¦
I hope we can stay with MikroTik for a while. Changing switches is not that much fun. š

(#55q3pqq) Interesting idea ā¦
anybody have any advice about picking out a desk chair? the one Iām using makes my butt go numb if I donāt have my feet propped up on something, and Iām starting to think thatās not just a Quirky Bisexual Trait

(#7bajjqa) Nice! š
(#xwr5mfa) Itās not very well known. It should be. The CEO has asked me to help promote it a bit better. The reason itās not so well known, is these guys have focused on features and user experience over āmarketingā. Letās help them by promoting this little gem š
On SaaS/Cloud services and finance tracking software. Of all of the pieces of software out there and Saas / Cloud services the one I truly do enjoy using and have a great deal of respect for is Buxferā¢.

(#pqidh6q) @mckinley@twtxt.net Thanks! š
(#6jag67q) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Whatās the trouble?
Good call tonight, touched on some interesting topics.
(#kuu4t7q) Iām missing this one today, finished work for the week. So Iām stuffing myself with food and taking a bear nap until Monday. š„±
(#bw5c54a) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk As a matter of fact, I do. http://mckinley.cc/
(#kuu4t7q) @prologic@twtxt.net Iāll be there!

(#bw5c54a) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk I bet my site would look fine :)
(#lz6e7ra) @novaburst@twt.nfld.uk Best of luck to you. Iām in XSLT land, myself.
there seems to be a risk of people actually seeing my writing these days and it makes me go full hedgehog in the footnotes ā four defensive footnotes is after they were pared down
missing concepts in link culture?: https://maya.land/monologues/2022/05/20/missing-concepts-link-culture.html
Itās been a slow couple of days here in Yarnspace. Whatās everyone up to?
there is one correct answer here and that answer is āseven dollarsā, and I might also allow āsix ninety nineā only if you live somewhere without any sales tax
i have a theory that when you meet someone who truncates something like ā$6.99ā in speech as āsix dollarsā, you know that person has never been broke
thatās not what performative means, vol. XXII
So, monkeypox. Surely, that wonāt be the next pandemic, eh? 𤣠š
(#m6xngra) @xuu@txt.sour.is Sad but true. š¤£
(#m6xngra) @prologic@twtxt.net Iāve tcpdumpāed and wiresharkāed the shit out of this. š Itās not very helpful. Iād need to gain insight into the decision making of the switch itself. Why does it drop certain packets? Thatās almost impossible to find out (unless it happens to be included in the switchās logs, which it usually isnāt).
Like @mutefall@twtxt.net said, itās usually some kind of misconfiguration. Hence you begin to dump the entire switch config into a file and then run diff
against the config of a working switch. 𤣠Sometimes this approach works, sometimes it doesnāt ā¦
We recently changed from Cisco to MikroTik switches. At least those switches offer some kind of basic API, which means we can configure them via our config management ā instead of using the switchās web UI or SSH, like some cave men. That should make our life much easier.
Honestly, all the switches Iāve seen so far were total crap. So far, MikroTik is the best thing. Maybe there are actually good switches out there, but they probably cost a ton of money, and we canāt afford that.
(#m6xngra) Also have you pulled out wireshark yet? š
this feels like it ought to be achievable with money
i just want to be a soundtracked-with-a-harpsichord bitch is that too much to ask
(#m6xngra) spooky action at a distance. Just remember all computing infra is rocks smashed together in a particular way to move sparkys around in the right statistical modal.
(#jjjxnzq) @mckinley@mckinley.cc š¤£
(#m6xngra) @prologic@twtxt.net In this particular case: Figuring out why a switch decided not to forward ARP broadcasts to certain switch ports. Like, you connect two devices to the switch ports 3 and 4 and they can ping
each other ā but when you move one of them to port 5, no ping
anymore. So, rather low-level stuff.
Or, we have another switch that intermittently doesnāt respond on its management IP anymore (even when you connect your laptop directly to the switch with no other networking hardware in between). I still havenāt figured out this issue.
(#j2hiwdq) @mckinley@twtxt.net Nice, thanks!
(#tjtdc2q) @anth@a.9srv.net canāt you just go into settings and turn off JavaScript?

(#j2hiwdq) @mckinley@mckinley.cc Lovely! š I wonder which distro that is. Itās a pretty new kernel and itās running systemd, so it canāt be something ancient. š¤
saw a lament for the decline of blogs ā¦. because nothing has come to replace the Greatness of the Atheist Blogosphere takes all kinds, I guess
Spent the last few days debugging network issues at work.
Exhausting. You never get a full picture. You poke a little here, poke a little there, ⦠Form a hypothesis and test it. Eventually, maybe, you can narrow it down a bit to some segment or even some component.
A very time consuming process. Even more so if you try not to cause downtimes for your users.
I want a magical device that allows me to look inside a cable/fibre.
But hey, at least we got rid of a bunch of Cisco switches in the process. So thereās that.
(#itqyskq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org ⦠and, yeah, I didnāt follow Die Anstalt for quite a while, either. I think it got too depressing at some point and then I stopped. š
(#itqyskq) @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Nah, I meant Tresenlesen. They did a reunion recently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghkLLpXyols So itās really mostly the two guys sitting there and reading from their notes. š„“ (Itās still good, though!)
(#hwcf5hq) @mutefall@twtxt.net uhh I can buy 1/5 of a base model iPhone 12 per day hahaha! So I could theoretically have 52 iPhones a year.
