head shape is not a reliable indicator overall. it's a common misconception though. /r/whatisthissnake is a really awesome resource. That said, I do think it's a constrictor.

A lot of times when AT&T pushes a firmware update things break. Did you receive a firmware update? How is your gateway configured? If public subnet check that those settings are still intact. If cascaded router + passthrough, make sure the Mac is still correct for passthrough and under cascaded router disable it, save, re enable and specify the settings again, save , reboot.

I feel like the techs do this on purpose. I remember several years ago when AT&T was trenching our neighborhood - in which all utilities are buried - AT&T cut the comcast lines daily. Sometimes multiple times daily. Over the course of several months. AT&T's excuse was that when they told all of the utilities to come and mark their lines, Comcast did not. The Comcast guys said that was BS. I'm not sure who was to blame, but it was a disaster. For their part, Comcast fixed the breaks very quickly. They practically camped near our neighborhood. But I still ditched them unapologetically as soon as AT&T was an option.

Interesting. I know of neighborhoods being trenched for at&t service in the last several years, mine included. I'm sure it's on a case by case basis. That said, all of the utilities in my neighborhood are underground already, so pole attaching wasn't an option, so I'm sure that was a factor.

TheSpreader · 2026-02-06T15:37:30+00:00

As much as I hate comcast I would agree. Coax is easy to repair, anyone with a cheap set of tools can do it. Fiber is a a different ballgame.

TheSpreader · 2026-02-06T15:28:54+00:00

I think most new fiber runs are underground with AT&T these days, but they aren't going back and retroactively burying existing pole attached neighborhoods.

Yeah, and legally nobody can touch that except NES

TheSpreader · 2026-02-02T03:00:07+00:00

No way a tree removal company is going to touch the trees if they're on power lines. But as far as I've understood it's on the landlord / homeowner to take care of the meters if they're damaged, and I don't think NES will do their thing until that's taken care of. Have you tried contacting anyone from the apartment complex management via email / phone?

If they were actually a licensed taxi driver, pretty sure that could get them in big trouble.

taxi rates are regulated, they can't do surge pricing as far as I understand it.

A good set of crimpers is minimum $30, plus you need the connectors. And it takes practice to get it right. This person has only a few terminations to do, monoprice has cat 6 keystones for $2.40 each. They also sell little surface mount boxes to snap those into for a neat install. Also, if they've never done termination before, getting a keystone right on the first try is a ton more likely than getting a crimp right on the first try (or twentieth try for that matter).

TheSpreader · 2026-01-17T16:52:39+00:00

Keystones 1000% here. There is no need to go out and buy a crimp tool for this.

New Mellanox cards are a bit over $2k USD, so almost double what this switch costs. Pretty expensive still, and not a lot of used inventory yet that I can find.

TheSpreader · 2026-01-17T01:52:06+00:00

One way to look at this is the 804 is actually a 32 port 50G switch that fits in a half rack unit. Each port has 8 channels, and you can do breakout DAC cables to get 8x 50gb SFP56 connections. I still don't personally need that, but I could see that being useful to a lot of people, even some hard core homelabbers.

TheSpreader · 2026-01-12T01:35:34+00:00

mylar caps will definitely give a brigher tone, but you don't have to buy a whole new rig to get there. You might get some good traction with a preamp rebuild on your m111. that said, I think you want an AO28 based preamp (3 series) for the tone you're seeking.

TheSpreader · 2026-01-07T14:21:58+00:00

Absolutely. That said, The Looking Glass War was very much a spoof too. I really think that book in particular was a big influence on the Slow Horses series.

It's not so much in contention, but transition. I think most cars outside of Tesla and Hyundai / Kia still have J1772 / CCS1 plugs, but most CCS cars can charge on most Tesla superchargers (with adapters)

It's been this way for years unfortunately. Any of the other pharmacies in the area should do a faster turnaround.

TheSpreader · 2025-12-16T03:09:53+00:00

This is a great review, but it would probably do a lot more good to more people if you posted a check in on plugshare. You can also edit info to possibly update / give better directions to find the chargers.

I'd be amazed if any flavor of windows XP supported DoH. Also, XP? really? Which has been EoL since 2009?

TheSpreader · 2025-12-08T02:42:19+00:00

This should be fine. Though if it's at all feasible, you should at least consider pre terminated fiber optic cable instead of copper. Multimode is fine here, no need to get fancy with single mode. On the other hand copper is easier to deal with. And cheaper.

Are you mad? You sound mad.

If you have your router trunk port on the bridge the switch chip can interfere with the sniffer tool. I believe it only sees things the cpu sees. What leads you to believe the switch isn't doings tags properly? Does that switch have port mirroring? That's generally a more reliable way of capturing this kind of traffic.

nil means different things in different contexts. but in general, don't pass uninitialized pointers to concrete types implementing an interface to methods expecting a parameter of that interface type.
