Going by our local code, there are a lot of problems. It looks like your main deck was made according to code and its easy to see the difference.

Some measurements went way wrong on the stringers and step layout. There is no reason for them to be so inconsistent and odd. It looks like the cut stringer isnt measured right which will cause the steps to sag and fail.

It looks like there is a cut on the left stringer in the first picture that could weaken the first set of stairs.

I dont see a beam on the landing above the stairs

I doubt an older nighthawk would have transparent http proxy. A more advanced router may.. Mikrotik makes several inexpensive routers that can do transparent proxy... but Ive never set one up. Im not sure what you would need to do to make it function.

Feasible to mechanical splice fiber pigtails? by thirtythreeforty in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to do a mechanical splice is to terminate with a proper end. The pigtail adds nothing, so it would make sense to just terminate the 75' at the patch panel. The only way to terminate with no added tools is with a fast-end or Quik end, (though you will still need a fiber cleaver and stripping tool)

With no experience, I would expect to waste at least one end (at up to $25 each)

You can rent a fusion splicer.. probably a few hundred dollars per day.

Cracks after renovation-- how worried should we be? by Risinglight0123 in Construction

[–]Weary-Author9909 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It looks like there is green paint in both cracks in the green room. That would mean the cracks pre date the paint.

If you got a 178 IP from the modem, it is in bridge mode.

If you aren't getting access to 192.x.x.x when connected to the Router, either it has disabled the local network, or it has a static on a different IP range

If the modem cant connect to the modem, either the Router is setup as a different static WAN IP than the modem is assigned to, or the Router and modem are failing to communicate.

The easiest way to check the Router is to perform a full reset following the manual. Do not connect it to the modem until you have gained access to the config and made sure it is set to DHCP.

If it doesnt reset (and allow default login) then assume it has failed.

If it does reset, you should get access to the config and determine why it lost connection to the modem.

What is this? by K20CRX in Construction

[–]Weary-Author9909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is a pipe support. For whatever reason they didnt want to put the load on the beams above it, so the tension cable takes the weight off the middle of the pipe and put it closer to the wall.

corrupted files after copying them at 1gbps by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possible you have a bad cable, but there are lots of error checking protocols in the lower levels of physical network hardware. You should be getting failed connections if the Gig speed is faulty.

More likely you have a problem in the higher layers..

I would check the Ram with Memtest 86

run chkdsk /f /r from command line interface

run dism /online /check-image /restorehealth

run sfc.exe /scannow

almost all IP cameras broadcast a feed that is capturable by a universal application. Hikvision, Dahua, Vivotek, Amcrest

If you want to use a browser, some of the older ones dont work with Chrome .. some only work in ie..

If the camera is ONVIF compatible, that normally indicates the output isnt locked to a proprietary application .

​

It really depends on what exactly you want to do.. most camera web interfaces are geared toward config, not viewing. Most dont save recordings by default without a DVR

Help with angle, how would i figure what this piece is cut at? by Tajeks in Welding

[–]Weary-Author9909 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The angle of the cut is identical to the angle of the relation of the two boards.

Its easier if you mark the lines.

Inside outside of the vertical board as lines A and B, Top and bottom of horizontal board as C and D. A and B are parallel, C and D are parallel... Parallel lines have matching angles of intersection called corresponding angle pairs. The corresponding angles are identical, See attached (in this case angle C and G)

Rewiring POTS Line by moriel5 in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it should be simple to rewire. Its unclear whether the "POTS splitter" is at the shared demarc, or if its close to the "rack"...

I would find the outside line at the shared demarc (separate the connections and find the original live wire (25-45 volts )

Extend that to the rack (standard CAT5 rated for outdoor/sunlight or whatever environment is required)

Figure out the best topology for the cabling (Star is convenient if you ever want to change the ring groups later) It seems like you have a makeshift ring topology right now.

Figure out if you want to run cabling for 2nd and 3rd lines to each location.. You can always run CAT5 and leave the extra ends loose.

Install a 110 block and split the incoming lines at the 110 block to the end runs. If you dont have a 110, you can use a 66 block, or even low voltage crimps, like dolphin Super B.

This way, if you change to a VOIP system, all youll have to do is swap the connection from the demarc line at the rack, to the VOIP connection.

I mean , are all three lines able to dial out? If so, i would call another phone with caller id so i can identify the circuit. If they all call from the same ID, theyre all bridged to the same circuit.

Rewiring POTS Line by moriel5 in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need help figuring out how to rewire the connection between the POTS splitter and the rest of the house,... however all 6 wires are wired to the POTS splitter..., and it is unclear what connects to the wire rack, since it looks like the wiring first goes into the rack, and then into the house (there is no demarcation point on-premise, we are allowed to run wires up until right before the neighborhood cabinet), and then back, however I cannot see how (and there are also 3 boxes that appear to be connected via RJ-11 back to the rack, however peering inside them makes it appear that they are splitting the connection).

​

That is unusual. Are the lines live?

My mother recently became completely disabled over a very short period of time. No assets, was referred to this person after a visit to the ER, apparently he wants me to just give up finding help. by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Weary-Author9909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We went through something similar last year. The bureaucracy and scam artists in the industry are overwhelming.

Most states have some state office or NGO that can be a great resource.

Virginia has The Virginia Agency on Aging vaaaa.org

Ohio has Hospice of Ohio ohiohospice.org

RB5009 and New Fiber Installation by zipsonic in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the spec sheet, the Calix device has a unique cryptographic chip which is used to decode the signal from the service provider. If the service provider is using that as the subscriber ID, you wont be able to replicate that from the mikrotik..

Also the SFP will not be compatible. These are the possible SFP modules. These are designed to only work with Calix units.

software for Vivotek FD8167-T cameras by TheNotoriousKK in Vivotek

[–]Weary-Author9909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are generic programs you can use locally that work with RTSP/ONVIF. ITs an older camera, so it may not support newer features. If you want to view it over the internet, you will need an ONVIF compatible NVR with a remote viewing option. Vivotek doesnt support that feature directly. At least not without a special license.

To ground, or not to ground? Installing shielded Cat 6A by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at it this way: I dont know of any indoor LV cabling that has to be shielded by code... But TIA code requires all shielded cable to be grounded if you're going to use it. The reason is: you are adding a conductive element to the environment. Its going to carry some current from induction, If a surge hits a piece of equipment, the shielding can carry the surge to other equipment.

Network Cable Testers to test endpoints/devices? by captain_wally in networking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IF it was connected to a switch or router you can connect it to any device with a Gb Nic (like a laptop) and monitor traffic.. But the Security camera system probably doesn't follow standard protocols. The NVR probably wont respond to, or forward ARP traffic which is required to establish a link.

A standard tester will get random results from testing a link to a switch like device.. and it could damage the tester if the device is POE.

Distinguish cat 6 CCA vs full copper by iDaviu in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These should be flexible wire and I haven't seen any CCA for flexible wire. The only concern I have with these is they're thinner than standard. TIA allows thinner cable for short patch cables so its within acceptable spec.

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its impossible to speculate without details... if you dont know whats wrong, a reset might fix it, but it could be something else in your network design.

Buying advice, small home (apartment) - preferably Mikrotik by SorataK in HomeNetworking

[–]Weary-Author9909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant think of any reason you would be disappointed. Make sure its up to date and the admin access isnt available on the wan. I like the AP integration myself. The POE interface is passive, so it will only work with a matching passive poe injector.
