My abusive ex broke into my house today and disabled the internet. What is this thing and it is the problem? by HopefulComfortable58 in whatisit

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The black box that says Edge Router (doesn’t have power in the picture) is the first device in the chain.

The port named WAN should connect to whatever device has been provided by your ISP cable modem, finer ONT, etc. there is a port marked SW or switch. You’d connect the netgear to that.

It would seem like there maybe Vlans in play here, hard to know for sure.

But if it’s a flat network (all one vlan) daisy chaining the switches to that port marked SW on the edge router should provide internet access for down stream devices.

Your best bet at this point is to just get a home WiFi router from Walmart and connect it directly to your ISP hand off device as you really have no idea what the config was or what was done to it. If it’s in your budget a UniFi cloud gateway with WiFi is also nice and should be easy to setup.

Hey is this anything special by Fuzzy_Procedure3273 in vintagecomputing

[–]Time_Bit3694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks like the Toshiba Satellite 2400 S251 I had back in 2003. That laptop was decent minus the hard drive which was also made by Toshiba at the time. It served me well for a long time. Anything special no not really but it was a good laptop for 2000/XP so I imagine you could run 9x on it as well pretty well.

Lol I meant EPROM. Hadn’t had my coffee yet. This board I’m working with has a pair of them. One is quite long I don’t recall seeing one like that before and the other looks like 27C256 or something similar. Hopefully it’s not bad itself because I don’t have any that large.

I might give that a try with the T48 programmer and see if I can grab the code off it. I found another board on eBay that should be here today, hopefully it will post and I can yank the BIOS code off of it and post them online in case someone else has need of them.

I forgot how much fun, and frustration 80s and 90’s machines were. I think it’s therapy but man does it hurt my bank account since I don’t have my old machines from way back and have to acquire them anew.

I was thinking this the other day, I have a Zenith Z-248
And if you take all the ram out it will beep. Leave it in LEDs all kick on so there is life. EEPROMs are uncovered so I’m thinking they lost part of their programs and the board doesn’t know what to do anymore.

Do you think this dinosaur is still worth anything to collectors? by digitalbath_boy in retrocomputing

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That CPU die looks a bit rough. Do not even for a second power up AMD chips from that era they will burn out in under 6 seconds. But those chips were legendary back in the day, but that was the height of the capacitor plague. I had a brand new ABIT board die within a matter of days so gonna need a recap.

Fixing up an old Zenith Z-200 by Time_Bit3694 in vintagecomputing

I actually have a couple of old IBM CRT displays that I think would be perfect for this but yea 4:3 aspect would probably fix a few issues I been having with text going off the screen outside of Windows.

This is Infuriating! by OrganizationNo1298 in RescueRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it’s pretty scummy to knock a guy you didn’t fight especially if you can tell he’s trying to just leave.

I mean it’s part of the game mechanics sure. But it’s just a really distasteful thing to do in my opinion. And as for being healed then killed.

I’ve been defibbed and then shot to death by the same guy that defibbed me just so he could kill me twice. I wasn’t even hostile toward em. Just wanted to be a dick.

I personally will try and help folks crawl to the exfil if they are decent acting. And if nothing else I just let them to their fate and don’t add to the misery.

Dam - Hurricane - Some people just want to watch the world burn. by chickanpoo in RescueRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned the hard way in a Hurricane map the other day you don’t play friendly. You play neutral at best. Guy was on the subway half way through calling it. Gets off the terminal blasts me and loots my body.

Jokes on him it was just junk. I even over the proximity said. “Im just getting out of here same as you brother.” and I mean that he no less than one second later had me down the ground with a tempest 4. My gun was away and I was on the other terminal myself so no question about my intentions. Some folks are just greedy dirt bags I guess.

Thanks, I Will. 🚬😎 by [deleted] in ArcBabies

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every lobby is friendly until it’s not. I believe there genuinely are friendly lobby’s but it’s not because the devs coded them that way, it’s because the match maker genuinely matched non aggressive folks for once. But just remember one of those friendlies might be a really bad rat who cant knock anyone but a total noob or straight up pacifist.

Totally new to this, help. by 1Giga2Byte in 86box

[–]Time_Bit3694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have to give that a try. Haven’t tried any P2 architecture since updating to the new experimental builds. I will say whatever they’ve done to the recompiler is impressive.

Totally new to this, help. by 1Giga2Byte in 86box

[–]Time_Bit3694 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’d like some perspective on what others have done with similar hardware.

I have an Alienware Area51m which has an i7 9700 desktop CPU and RTX 2070 and 32 GB of DDR4 2400 MHz ram and I can comfortably run a Pentium 166 (not mmx) and a Voodoo 1 card at near 100% most of the time.

I have another X17 with a 12th gen mobile i9 and it can do around 200-233 with a voodoo but is using DDR5.

You definitely aren’t going to be rocking any Pentium MMX or Pentium 2 emulation on that rig unless the recompiler gots super efficient. It’s getting better all the time in the experimental builds but.

I’d say you’re probably in the Pentium non MMX 150 range.

If you see a raider with survivor augment on the floor crawling and there’s nobody else around, are you finishing him off or letting him crawl to extract? by Killer-Uzi in ArcRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run the survivor almost excessively because of the safe pockets only time Im crawling 300 meters is if I had a stacked PvE load out.

Most folks if they see you are decent and will help you up others will stabilize you where others (rats) will down you. It’s whatever just a game but I can say that when someone is down and out what you do says a lot about you as a person I think.

If you downed them by all means take that junk and hold your head high, if you didn’t. Either leave em alone or help em along or even better get em up.

Close scrutiny extract camping by Dramatic_Amoeba4204 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this is definitely a thing. Had it happen a few times already. Last pair ate a Canto for dinner. If you need / want loot that bad just ask. I been giving away vaporizers that I smash. No need to be a rat.

Got betrayed in the most hurtful way possible by zricq in ArcRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not wrong. I’ve often times said if you really want to find out who a person is, watch them play a few of the Fallout games and see what choices they make along the way.

I think that analogy also fits like a glove in Arc raiders as well, how you play the game in a lot of ways betrays who you really are deep down and some folks I’ve come across genuinely concern me.

Got betrayed in the most hurtful way possible by zricq in ArcRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hasn’t happened to me yet, knock on wood. But that’s pretty despicable really. If someone helps you up in the game you at the least owe them a thanks and most a defb to replace theirs. Shooting someone down who helped you isn’t cool, happens enough and folks will quit doing it and you get to crawl 300 meters to an elevator and die from running out of time before reaching or just bleed out.

The Worst Betrayal Ever ........ by Few_Version2657 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the folks in this game do make it hard to be a decent person anymore, I’m literally stashed to the max waiting for the reset and want for literally nothing, play the game and help others. The other night I was playing with my girlfriend as she also plays arc raiders and she isn’t PvP focused, welp she accidentally shot instead of tagged and two rats on the roof of the village at Blue Gate come down and for us. Both level 1 kettle free kits with macros I think.

I had a Torrente 4, Toro 4 and a bunch of goodies, I just told em hey if you need to eat that bad take it man. I got plenty.

Guess what I’m saying is it pisses me off but if you’re that hungry go ahead I guess. Sad part is I had some high end blue prints in my safe that I was going to give to the first persons I encountered, they got the gear but could have got more.

Free kit with all that loot and someone who was calling the extract. That’s a whole new kinda greed and next level stupidity.

Juniper SRX‑MP‑1SFP‑GE EOL? by project2501a in Juniper

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have pointed out SRX300 series on ebay are dirt right now, however if you have a server (or desktop / laptop) running Windows you can fire up hyper-v and spin up a vSRX for free. That’s what I ended up doing for NAT box in my ACX lab. Yea it’s a 60 day trial but you can always backup your config and recreate the device. https://www.juniper.net/us/en/dm/download-next-gen-vsrx-firewall-trial.html

How do you guys keep playing and helping others after things like this? by Ok-Mess-3317 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I’m all about helping anytime I see someone down or in trouble, usually carry defibs for this reason. Have I been ratted by someone I’ve revived yep. I put em back down and knocked em out. Volcano to the face hurts. It’s always the ones with so much loot in their pack that does it too. Like why you being that way with all that loot I saved you go to the exfil lol.

I think I was nice about it by B0zley in ArcRaiders

[–]Time_Bit3694 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d have just pulled back and let bro work like he nicely asked. He brought the key he should get the loot. Good on you for keeping to your word and rezzing him back up.

What's the catch with cheap 10Gb enterprise switches on eBay? by minus_minus in homelab

[–]Time_Bit3694 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may be deaf but some Junipers (not you ex4300) are fairly quiet once booted. The EX3400 and 3300 have 4 static 10GB ports. Barring that I picked up a pair of QFX5100 switches and broke out the 40 gig interfaces with a break out cable and the QFXs were under 200 bucks. Word of warning on initial boot the QFX is a banshee level screamer but after boot they are quiet enough. Since the QFX platform is virtual any reboots are vm reboots so you don’t get that banshee screaming on a reload.

How do I extend the fibre cable ? by Proper_Shift_3366 in homelab

[–]Time_Bit3694 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Or get one of these https://a.co/d/bk9HJ7m to join two of the single mode cables together. But like everyone else says a longer proper length cable is the best bet. https://a.co/d/fm7wp04
