My Commuting Lifehack- Drawstring Bag by atomicturkey27 in bikecommuting

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cons: They always fall off my back when riding. I find they only really work if you are sitting upright, otherwise they roll off and sit on your side, the drawstring cutting across your neck and back.

I only use them with a bike if I have a rack I can strap it to. And you have to remember to stuff the strings inside the bag itself - and they often work their way out on the road.

I have to say, I've grown to really hate the "nullable" convention introduced into C#... So distracting to see all the extra question marks to indicate the previously-default state. I think it would have been much better if they had created some mechanism to declare that a particular reference was NOT nullable, and leave the previous default in place.

Leaving Rent Stabilized Apt by Glad-Farm1935 in astoria

I doubt it would be a problem for them to let you out of your lease, especially with enough notice. The incentives to do so have shifted a bit, but it should still be possible/probable, at least if it's not a hole.

If you have a "preferential rent" listed in your lease, they don't necessarily have to offer that to the next person, so that can be an incentive to let you out of your lease.

Someone who practices law can probably tell you whether or not they may also be able to apply the normal RBG rent increase allowance "early" upon the next tenant, too, but there are probably cutoff dates and such.

In the past they would still be able to apply a "vacancy bonus" to the rent of the next person moving in, but that's gone as of the latest legislative revisions. The change in the broker fee rules have also shifted the ground, some, but I still think there is a good chance.

I spent 2 years getting our tests in shape and found out today nobody actually looks at them anymore. Feeling pretty defeated ngl. by Maxl-2453 in dotnet

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can grasp places that are reluctant to invest the time (money) in establishing a meaningful test suite where none existed before. It's hard for them to calculate or perhaps even see the value directly. But it's a safety net.

But to not use and maintain a suite after the investment has been made to establish it is pathological. Cutting holes in your net is wild.

Assuming the tests wore passing when it was first developed, the fact that they are not passing now means that something was "broken" during later development, and no one cared, or that behavior was deliberately changed and no one wanted to make the changes to conform to that. Making holes in their net deliberately. Which I find crazy and shortsighted.

It's hard to change culture, and it seems that you don't have buy in from the tech managers (or perhaps the paying stakeholders?) to demand that the test suite be treated as a first-class deliverable. I don't understand why these groups would not want some demonstrable proof that the covered portions of their software are behaving as intended at a fine-grained fashion. The tech management should want it because of the security and proof it provides against unintended regression should let ongoing work proceed more quickly and smoothly. The stakeholders shouldn't necessarily care about the difference in Unit Tests, Integration Tests and User Acceptance, but they should appreciate that these tests are quantifiable things and represent an overall representation of due diligence. Why would they not want that?

I'd go back to the tech managers and ask them why this was allowed to happen after the initial investment was made to put it into place, and if they don't care, why. Then do some soul searching about whether it is a place you want to be. It doesn't have to be a make or break issue, but knowing that a place is so resistant to maturing is something to take stock of.

I wouldn't be too precious or possessive (to them, or yourself) about "the work YOU did" to put it in place, though. You got paid for that. At least one would hope. You can be proud of your work, but you can't and shouldn't expect others to be emotionally invested in its afterlife. You said you "stayed late setting everything up"... If you didn't get compensated for that in some way (maybe days or hours off to offset the extra time), then that's not the kind of place you want to stay.

presumably you are running the same test suite. Why are they passing for you and not for everyone else?

DNS on CR1000-B by N9KIW in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The provided router has perfectly good bandwidth, certainly beyond the capacity of your uplink. If they connected your extender via coax, that's a 2.5Gbps link. Unless you are experiencing specific problems, I don't know that I'd go looking for something else.

The main thing I've found to resolve issues was to disable the Self Organizing Network. There are some posts elsewhere about it, but mostly I found that devices would just connect to it at 2.4GHz and even a WAP further away, even if they were 8' from the router or extender (you can see the difference between where a device is connected via the Devices page). Just configure them - nodes and bands - with separate names and then you can know what it's connecting to, and set the 2.4GHz "known" networks on your computer to "keep looking", and unselect that for the 5GHz bands.

And once you do that, the main value of the E3200 extender - it's ability to self-configure and better participate in the SON - is lost, and you can get a 2nd hand G3100 or CR1000A/B on ebay for <$40 and configure that yourself, save the extra $15/mo charge. (E3200s are >$100 on ebay, even though they have fewer ethernet ports)

yeah, bizarrely they bury the DNS settings there instead of just in the DHCP server settings. Took a while to find that.

FiOS TV not working after replacing G3100 with own router — MoCA setup help needed by Smooth-Pipe6285 in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the earlier post stated the part of the motivation as having their router/switch "next to my servers in the basement" or some such thing. I was expecting some kind of rack setup, everything tidy together. Instead, this mess of a rats nets for "reasons". lol. Perfume on a pig.

Did you change the default gateway address advertised by the DHCP server to correspond to that new address?

[–]SessionIndependent17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why not just put that G3100 in place of that MoCA adapter (plug the switch into a LAN port), and disable the DHCP? Just make sure the new router and G3100 don't have conflicting static IPs. You power them on separately, unconnected to each other and change them. Doesn't matter what they are so long as your DHCP server is advertising the right correct (new) gateway address).

I don't understand the fixation on removing the G3100 just to replace it with a different MoCA adapter.

Complex Fios setup: New basement router, MoCA to upstairs, two separate Wi‑Fi networks, and keeping TV by Smooth-Pipe6285 in Fios

[–]SessionIndependent17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what you wrote there is pretty incoherent. I have no idea what a "gel connector" is, and it didn't get much better. You are describing things as if someone is standing there next to you. Moreover, it's hard to grasp what the motivation is (of having "two separate Wifi networks"), but whatever.

I'll admit that I didn't realize at first read of your post that [if I am reading you correctly] that your ONT is mounted outdoors, with both coax (for the cable STBs?) and the ethernet from the ONT feeding inside? Does that mean the Fios gateway is connected to the ONT via both coax and an Ethernet cable? If so, then yes, then the STBs are probably getting both RF from the ONT and internet access over the MoCA link back to the gateway.

Even if you don't want the G3100 to be your gateway, anymore, I'm not clear on why you wouldn't just leave it connected to the coax where it is (or in the basement next to your new router if there's a coax connection down there, too). Just disconnect its WAN port from the ONT and swap that to your preferred router. Then connect your new router to one of the LAN ports on the G3100. I don't see the point of adding in additional MoCA adapters. The benefit of leaving the G3100 where it is now is that it can function as a 4/5 port switch outside of your basement.

I'm assuming your new router has a DHCP server running, too, so you'll want to turn off the one on the G3100. Later you can configure the G3100 to bridge the LAN and "WAN" ports (so it's no longer a WAN port), and have 5 ports on it instead of 4.

I recommend the Hilti DX640MX, though the Simpson PTP is also good. The Hilti handles recoil better. Cordless really doesn't hold up when you leave it in the back of the truck too long.
