Re: [AFMUG] Searching for a simple Desktop PC

2017-04-25 Thread Rory McCann
With HP most of their systems will have VGA and either a displayport or 
HDMI connection but they natively support dual monitors.


On the refurbished HP side you may want to look at the ProDesk line. 
I've been a big fan of the ProDesk Mini because it's the size of a thin 
client, most come with SSD, at least an i5 processor, and have dual 
displayports for dual monitors. You'll need to up your budget a bit though.


I don't know if you'll find anything in that range that has dual HDMI 
specifically, but you could get any off the shelf desktop and add 
discrete graphics.

[AFMUG] Juniper SRX Platform

Anyone out there used the SRX series firewalls/UTM appliances from 
Juniper? I'm moving away from Mikrotik and wanted to go with something 
on the "known compatible" list with AWS. Never been a fan of Cisco and

Just curious if their UTM compares well to others on the market (like 
Fortinet, Watchguard, etc) or if it's a crapshoot?

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Apple abandoning development of wireless routers

The thing I like most about them is the network extender functionality. 
I can daisy chain them with Cat5 and properly extend my wireless network 
without having 1000 different SSIDs or killing performance with a 
wireless extender. I've done this with an Airport extreme in my house 
and an Airport express in my detached garage and it works seamlessly.



I haven't been able to find another product (other than Mikrotik) that 
can do this that either doesn't cost a fortune or doesn't require a

This is sort of an illustration of why I am still very wary of
Mikrotik for routers.

There's a myriad of Cisco routers available with 12 to 20
SFP-based GbE interfacess (used/refurb) that are just as capable,
if somewhat bigger and hotter, that run very stable versions of
IOS. It's totally unacceptable for Cisco to break basic
functionality for $HUGE_ISP and $HUGE_ENTERPRISE_CUSTOMER , which
are usually using the same IOS trains I use for service provider
functions.

Mikrotik OS software support is pretty much "hey go over to this
forum and hope somebody answers your question", if something is
broken you are just supposed to wait for a new version release in
a month or two. If something is fundamentally broken in a version
of IOS used by a mature (6+ year old) Cisco platform it's almost
certain that somebody much bigger and more important than yourself
has already run into the issue, escalated it with Cisco, and a new
build fixing the bug is available.

If the space and power are available I would much rather have a
6503E with dual supervisor than a CCR

2015-12-18 Thread Rory McCann
I wish I could find the article, but it basically said that the reason 
there aren't other mfgr's of the drug has to do with the costs of 
getting it FDA approved. Since the average person who needs the drug 
only uses a few doses, it's very hard to reach ROI at $13/pill or 
whatever it was. The fact that he drove the price up 5000% was just him 
being an asshole and trying to make a bunch of money off of his purchase.


At one point, another company did make a non-FDA approved generic they 
were selling for like $1/pill, but you couldn't get it through normal 
medical channels or something (it classified as one of those 
"experimental" drugs even though it was the same formula).


Long and the short of it is that regardless of your views on capitalism

As far as capitalism, the approach is to find something that is
inexpensive to make and has been around forever and there is only
one supplier because there isn’t enough demand for multiple
suppliers.  So you buy that supplier and jack the price up to
ridiculous levels until a competitor can go through getting
government approval to compete, which can take a year or more. 
Meanwhile, you make a bazillion percent profit, because of a

temporary market failure.
That isn’t really capitalism.  It’s exploiting a loophole. 
Capitalism assumes an efficient market, where competition drives

prices down to cost plus a reasonable profit.  The pharma market
is different for two reasons.  First, there is a lengthy
government approval process.  Second, the payer is usually an
insurance company, pharmacy benefit manager, or Medicare.

I can't defend his brashness, but the fact remains that pure
capitalism is the best way demonstrated to date to innovate and
health care or pharma is not exempt. Big rewards encourage big
effort yielding big results. These pharma companies have something
like 7 years until the exclusivity period expires. That can be a
pretty short time to recover investments. This particular case may
be a bit extreme but to say that capitalism is broken in America
is simply ludicrous.
I recently attended my sons graduation from Texas Tech on a
Friday. Thursday night at the hotel was $159 and Friday was $269.
I don't think that is price gouging. I think it is a reflection of
the simple fact that there are fewer rooms available on that
particular night than are demanded at $159. The equilibrium was
found at $259 where supply and demand come closer to being equal.
At that price I still witnessed people turned away wanting a room
due to their poor planning. I don't think that is price gouging.
Their hotel was full at $269 a night. The next day was $159 again.
Since the hotel was full they probably could have been even higher.
I really don't understand what people have such a huge issue with
the fundamental theory of supply and demand. Yes I understand that
it is a potentially life saving drug. There are other cheaper
treatments. Maybe they aren't as good, which is why they are
cheaper. When did we stop rewarding people for the value they

Sales over the next few years will prove if he made a mistake.

different set of circumstances too.


I just make sure to have more runs than I think I'll ever need. If there 
are any TV/AV locations, run them there as well. The labor costs are the 
same regardless if it is 1 drop or 4.


I do have to agree with Faisal though - a remodel isn't necessarily 
something people like to do more than once a decade at the most. If you 
have a chance to gut and start over, nothing wrong with future-proofing 
things a bit. I can't think of many situations where people regret going

Re: [AFMUG] The DUDE is not dead!

You're mistaken. It could be run as an agent for remote networks or as a 
standalone server on ROS. They've removed the ability to use Windows 
server for the backend (which on the older builds provided much better 
performance).


That was part of the draw to Dude - you didn't have to have a windows 
installation to throw it on to do its thing - you could install it on an 
already on-premise RB.

When I first installed that "Dude" package, I assumed I'd be able to 
connect the dude client to it, but it didn't work that way.

and check work comp cases to see if employees were really hurt on the
job. My Calcs come in at needing around 4-5tb of storage to accomplish
this, so I'd like the server to have 6-8tb of storage for some
overhead.  Rather than building out a server with a bunch of drive bays,
RAID Card and mirroring/striping drives etc, I was wondering if anyone
has used an External JBOD enclosure for this?  I'm thinking like a DROBO
unit or similar.  Any Caveats to watch out for?  Is there too much disk
IO to have this work well over a LAN, USB 3.0, or Thunderbolt
connection?  What other (Affordable) options am I missing to get a bunch
of storage in a single volume for the NVR?

You just need to get yourself a thick piece of steel pipe or conduit. 
You can mount it to the railing with the M-TOWs.


The last one we did was with a couple of M-TOW-V clamps and a 4 OD

then the pipe mounted inside the M-TOW.

Re: [AFMUG] Angry landlord over Roof mount antenna

2015-03-17 Thread Rory McCann
If the landlord owns the property, they should ultimately have the final 
say. If the tenant did indeed lie/withhold the information in this case, 
bye-bye deposit.


I get the OTARD argument, but I can guarantee if I was renting a 
townhouse and a tenant didn't ask for permission to mount something to 
the roof and drill holes, not only would the antenna be coming down but 
they'd either be fixing it or out on their asses sans deposit. It would 
definitely be part of the lease agreement.


Personally, I'm of the group that believes you catch more flies with 
honey than vinegar so I would work with the landlord to make it right. 
If you handle things properly, you may actually end up gaining business 
- especially if he/she has other properties and is satisfied with how 
you resolved the issue. I'm betting they are just pissed right now about 
it and will cool off to a more reasonable level in the next few days.

Maybe all governments speak from both sides of their mouth.  In this 
case I think there's a good reason for it, they say Landlords, you 
cannot prohibit tenants from having an antenna.  They're not saying, 
Landlords, you must let John and Adam drill holes in your house, 
because they straight up can't make a mandate like that.


If you *can* force the landlord to accept your antenna being on their 
building against their will, would you really want to?  You gain 
$30-50/month, but also make a permanent enemy.  IMO, better to just 
defuse the anger as best you can and fix the damage.


So like everything else they are talking out both sides of their
mouth. The problem becomes, how much aggravation does the landlord
want to go through as the burden of proof undisputedly lies with them.

example, the rule would //*not*//apply to restrictions that
prevent drilling through the exterior wall //of a condominium or
rental unit and thus restrictions may prohibit installation that
requires such drilling./



Don't think so. The rules are clear that permitted
restrictions have to be reasonable and if there is a
conflict the burden of proof is on the landlord.

Further, restrictions cannot violate the impairment clause in
section 2.2 i.e. may not unreasonable delay or increase costs,
or preclude reception or transmission of an acceptable quality
signal.

I bumped the L2 MTU to 2028, max of that particular unit and set the 
other side to match, then DNS stopped working. Traffic worked, I 
could ping by IP but not by name. Of course my DNS server was on the 
other side of that cable, so a handful of folks were having issues.
I dropped the L2 MTU back to default on MT of 1600, improved, but not 
100%.


I had the DNS max packet size set to 4048 or so, dropped it back down 
to 1536, started improving.


UDP speed tests were all over the map, then would randomly quit. TCP 
was decently reliable, though not as fast as they should be.

I've got one similar to that.

DNS doesn't work.

TCP works okay, but DNS just absolutely fails.

Turns out the Ethernet port is dying on me. I've got extra
hardware in the
air, so quick fix is a wireless shot from the AP to the
ground to the switch
that feeds the PTP shots.

It'll work until I can fix it properly.

What is happening in my case is the Ethernet is dropping
packets, frames,
something. TCP retransmits, UDP just disappears.

Not sure if that will explain your broken download issue, but
it is one of
those odd problems.

Could be the server side is just dropping the connection
after 100+
retransmits.

Re: [AFMUG] 900 MHz 450....

That's exactly it. This isn't a product aimed towards the guys that 
advertise streaming, nor is it aimed towards a user base that wants to 
do solely that. It's a product designed for the customer with no other 
good options.


With the data caps on cellular 4G and the all around piss-poor 
performance of satellite, some customers only have 900MHz Canopy as 
another viable option aside from dialup. In our area it's going to be 
big for the company that purchased our WISP - especially since the group 
they are a part of who owns their 700MHz spectrum is flirting with

It would probably be OK, but if you do do it, I would put grease on 
the plugs.

Subject: [AFMUG] Structured Cabling - Looking for Ideas

Hi guys,

I'm planning on rewiring my house this winter and was looking for ideas
on structured wiring as well as products to use. I'm looking at simply
RG6 coaxial and ethernet (for phone and data).

The wiring will be run in a rather deep crawl space and would like
something that can either mount to the floor joists or something where I
could build out a mounting platform with 2x4s and install it that way.
I'd like the wiring to be vertical so I can kneel and access things and
not have to crank my head and look up.

My original thought was to get a wall-mount vertical rack and mount it
horizontal - this would effectively give me a 19 6u rack to work with
that would hang from the floor joists. I was then going to just get a
couple of keystone patch panels and populate them with the various
connectors by room. Doesn't need to be fancy. It would still leave me
some room for a battery backup, rackmount switch and router/modem.

After looking around a bit I also see that Leviton offers some
structured solutions. These would have to be mounted between some 2x4s
or something so that I could have normal access to it. Wondering if any
of you have any experience with these or similar products and if they
would be a better solution than my rack idea?

Unfortunately, I do not have any room or areas upstairs for the wiring,
so the crawlspace is where it's going to go.

I'm not looking to spend a small fortune on this project - just want
something to centralize, label and clean up my existing house wiring as
well as give me some flexibility in the future.

Is there a direct attach copper 10Gbps cable that has a CX4 format on one end

I want to connect my Dell array with CX4 Ethernet uplink module compatibility 
to my SFP+ switch port without using optics/conversion.

Can't seem to find such a beast, but maybe I'm looking in all the wrong places.

What remote desktop / support application do you use?  We're looking 
at Teamviewer and ScreenConnect. Teamviewer works well but can get 
expensive for multiple users, version upgrades, etc.  ScreenConnect is 
self-hosted and more customizable.  Any other alternatives we should 
be looking at?

[AFMUG] List Threading

2014-10-22 Thread Rory McCann via Af
Is there anything that can be done to fix the message threading (or lack 
thereof) with this new list?


Prior to the move to Amazon, things *mostly* threaded nicely based on 
subject, however now I'm seeing multiple separate threads related to the 
same discussion.


I'm using Thunderchicken and Gmail.

big shocker, with our radios off, not a single bit of change
hes recommending bigger antennas or a licensed link (better to make 
money than go fix a poor installation, right?)


I did find out something cool I wish I had known yesterday, APC smart 
UPS with a management card has a sleep feature you can set a time in 
tenths of an hour to put the output power to sleep. I could have just 
shut the radios off remotely for 15 minutes while running the spectrum 
on their radio.


Im still pissed for getting thrown under the bus. And I know every 
time the landlord has a wireless issue theyre now going to immediately 
be on the phone with us thinking we are interfering with them, hell 
probably even if they go with a licensed link.

So what happened?

nope, just swapped radios, the leads are handmade crimp on N
connectors that are like 4-5 years old, the lightning welded our
switch to out battery backup.

I dont have a problem with ten minute shutdown, but it will end
up being an hour or more. I have 477 to do tomorrow so it will be
the boss going.
I told him to take the power supply completely out of the box so
the guy doesnt claim the power supply capacitors must still have
power going to the radio
I also told him to not let the guy powercycle the 650 unless our
radio is powered on because it will probably come back up and
perform, so if our radio is powered down, of course its our radio
causing the problems


The whole point of this thread was to say the interface on the
650 is really cool and to find out about ATPC on the 650, but
when i got the email telling me it was relayed to the landlord
that its a combination of our radio and local interference I got
really pissed.

Going out on a limb and saying maybe there is not directly a
physical issue looking at the fluctuations on both sides output
power (-15 to 21) and receive power (-47 to -78) with an ATPC
threshold set to -35 (is this the default value?) The numbers
make sense, output power is ranging 36db and receive powers are
ranging 31db. EXCEPT that when i was on them the remote transmit
was 21 and the local rx was -78, its not correlated to the range
of numbers.

so our radio was on 5755 i think at the time before i moved it,
10mhz. so for the sake of argument their 650 was also sitting on
5755 for whatever reason, and we will say it was recieving at the
linkplanner target of -61 and had a -35 threshold on ATPC, if my
ubnt had some sort of massive fart and hit the 650 antenna with
more energy than -35, could the 650 assume that additional energy
is coming from the remote and and issue an ATPC power down? would
that account for all the tx power and rx power fluctuations? What
I dont understand is since the peak rx was -47, why would the tx
have even dropped if atpc was functioning especially don as low
as a negative 15

Are there any bugs with ATPC with the 650? I dont recall there
being any real configurable atpc parameter in the 3/500 series.

I'm not talking about your issue, per say. Just commenting on
the receiver front-end overload on rockets (and other UBNT

Im pretty sure there is no atheros chipset in a ptp650 to
have this issue happen and since the rocket is a backhaul,
if it were deaf im pretty sure it would be hard to manage,
and the fsk customers beyond it would be calling in with
concerns about the lack of internet.

I highly doubt that a brand new 650 would go deaf the minute
it is powered on, and had it gone deaf the minute it was
powered on, I doubt the spectrum would show well defined
hills and valleys so clearly you can tell the channel size
of the interfering systems, it would more likely either be
fairly flatline or constantly in flux
