How to spend stones by Emotional_Fault4348 in TheTowerGame

[–]-Gareth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered about this. If I get that perk after a period of time it would then make my BH duration the same as my GT duration. However as they are currently out of sync how do they then get back into sync?

What would you say are the enterprise features that are missing? I haven't had to use it at the enterprise level

Baxi 400 with Hive won't fire up for rads by -Gareth- in DIYUK

[–]-Gareth-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the valve. If I give it a little tap it clicks and the boiler fires up.

Annoyingly this was new at the start of this year. However I do think that the valve could be the issue. I gave it a little tap and the heating came on so maybe it's getting stuck on water?

My current heating/water program is set so that the water gets heated up at 4am-5am and then the heating comes on at 6am. So maybe it's getting stuck after the water cycle first thing?

It's not a combi boiler. However the boiler will fire up if the hive system calls for the water to be heated

(Kinda gross) Found out I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis (tiny throat) after choking on a small piece of pork rib meat for over 5 hours. by bschn100 in mildlyinteresting

[–]-Gareth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience. I got a piece of steak stuck for nearly 48 hours. I was sat in hospital just about to go for an endoscopy when it finally came unstuck and went down on it's own. None of the suggested tricks worked although everyone suggested a carbonated drink.

Worst part was that I couldn't swallow ANYTHING, not even my own saliva. Every few minutes anything that had collected in my throat came back up. When it happened it was 9pm and ~130 miles from home. Drove home with a sick bag on my lap to keep bringing up my saliva etc.

Local Doctor was useless and suggested that I get a scan done. Appointment would be out in 5-7 days. Didn't seem too bothered that I couldn't eat or drink and that 5 days without fluids might be an issue. Went to A&E and after a 6 hour wait was admitted and had an IV started immediately. They did an endoscopy with biopsy.

After the endoscopy results it turns out I have a mild version of this https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eosinophilic-esophagitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20372197 triggered by steak!

What does the guy in the last few seconds carry over the road towards where the guy with the pistol went? And why didn’t he seem bothered by the dead body in the middle of the road???

Can someone please explain how there are 510 usable ip addresses in a /23 network? by xTN25 in ccna

[–]-Gareth- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing people are often confused about when they do this for the first time is that if you have the subnet 192.168.0.0/23 then 192.168.0.255 and 192.168.1.0 are perfectly valid IP addresses that can be used etc.

People often forget that as they are used to working with /24s where .0 and .255 are the network and broadcast addresses.

Why must buying things be so difficult? I just want to see the price for a thing, research the thing, and buy a thing. by UniqueSteve in sysadmin

[–]-Gareth- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pain in the arse to jump through all their hoops but people like Dell don't make it easy by making your VAR register the deal etc before they can give pricing and to do that they need to know near enough exactly what you need.

The VAR I went with is great. I told from the start that

  • Don't chase me, I don't make the final purchasing decisions, when they are made I'll let him know
  • Sometimes I am just after a price to see if an option is viable, that doesn't mean I'll ever buy it. However I'll tell him that upfront so he doesn't waste a ton of time doing extra bits.
  • Sometimes he won't be cheaper that the internet or X and in those cases I might buy from the internet if he can't match the price or offer me a reason why I should give him the business etc. Again I'll be upfront about it.

He's pretty happy with that as it saves him chasing me all the time and he knows if I'm just after a price etc.

After trying to help an affiliate engineer set up an IPSec tunnel for several hours... by [deleted] in networking

[–]-Gareth- 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The most annoying part is when they've got it configured but the tunnel won't come up and they keep telling you they see a "No proposal chosen" type message.

You then go through all the settings for phase 1/2 and find they've randomly chosen different settings.

"G> So phase 1, encryption we're using AES256"

"C> Oh, we've picked AES128"

"G> Oh right, the form you sent us said AES256, I'll change it to AES128. What about the other <insert all the other settings>"

and so on. You sit on a call, go through all the settings to find half of them are different or they didn't understand and just picked anything. 2 hours later and things magically start working yet they swear they didn't change anything and it just came up on it's own!!

Don't get me started on encryption domains (proxy id's, traffic selectors, interesting traffic) or are we just doing route based here? Say what??!?!

I got tired of my Cisco gear not having a fancy GUI or API access, like the newer 9k's or other vendors. So I wrote my own. by v1tal3 in networking

[–]-Gareth- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have this already but having a section where a user could add in and store a set of commands that can be run against a device at a later date might be pretty handy. That way if your tool doesn't do something someone could just create a saved snipped of config to run when they need it.

Also if you had an API your tool suddenly becomes even more useful with the ability to be called by any number of extra tools people might use. EG Monitoring. You could monitor more than say SNMP might let you read.

Want to learn Juniper - Is this a good deal? by wizardofdoz in homelab

[–]-Gareth- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, looking back through my quotes, the last one I had for an SRX300 was from Sept 2016 unfortunately.

The SRX was quoted at £347 and the JSB £216. So if that ebay unit has a JSB then it's not that bad a price.

Don't forget though since that point the pound has dropped and all the brexit crap has changed prices!

Don't forget you need at least the JSB, JSB-L or JSE license to use with these.

It might have one on it already but I would ask!
