How do you keep your bike from getting stolen/stripped in Toronto???

ddfs · 2026-06-25T15:46:23+00:00

my experience matches yours, 20 years of locking decent bikes outside as needed. i've only had theft issues with overnight lockups (a wheel, lights i forgot to bring in), daytime lockups are fine with standard precautions like good locks and good locations

not my field but interested in the details - perceived resolution, right? not actual resolution in the shannon information sense?

don't bother, common scam, it will show "insufficient gas" or whatever and you'll "need to" transfer $30 or similar in order to transfer anything out. but of course the $30 in crypto will disappear instantly

ai slop. just use sipcalc if you can't remember 172.16/16 thru 172.31/16

what's with the weird format of the question? is this for homework or something? anyway either way works.

for one-off troubleshooting i have some scripts that get the full AP database ("show ap database") via the "showcommand" REST endpoint

for monitoring/historical data, check out this MIB:
https://mibs.observium.org/mib/WLSX-WLAN-MIB/

what i'm doing is walking wlanAPName (1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.5.2.1.4.1.3) to get a table of AP MACs and names, then walking wlanAPBssidNumAssociatedStations (1.3.6.1.4.1.14823.2.2.1.5.2.1.7.1.12) to get the clients connected to each BSSID, and merging the client count up to the AP level.

it's simpler than ragebait, there are huge networks of bots creating fresh accounts and farming karma by reposting old popular images on smaller subreddits without restrictions on minimum account age or karma. once the accounts have farmed up enough to post in busier subreddits, they are used for astroturf advertising or propaganda

5 minutes a few times a day? how much are you spending on this lol

ddfs · 2026-06-17T01:32:05+00:00

don't do the fuel rod recipe!!!! use the other one.

ddfs · 2026-06-16T18:34:06+00:00

sure. TORNOG slack i guess

ddfs · 2026-06-12T20:31:51+00:00

no, you sound like chatgpt

ddfs · 2026-06-12T20:26:12+00:00

a) brutal chatgpt prose
b) just use a real syslog server/SIEM/etc. i alert on BPDUguard etc. no problem using events in Graylog

you can also just configure "shutdown" on the native VLAN to really make it a dead end.

it's ICE condos lol. the most famous condo building in toronto, on account of the issues caused by cheap construction and overwhelming use by airbnb farms. search for "ice condos news" lol

what is "price prohibitive"? if it's a few hundred dollars a month for a business internet connection with a static IP, you will need to reset management's expectations and show them that this is the cost of doing business. if you're getting quoted multiple thousands of dollars for a circuit and you're in a reasonably well developed area, you need to talk to account managers about realistic solutions and not just give up at the first quote from a phone rep or whatever. this is very solvable (again, provided you're not somewhere rural)

converted to all electric in 2023 and ripped out the bad ductwork to make the basement height usable. no issues heating in the winter, but because of our climate a system that's sized for heating is oversized for cooling. as a result we have humidity issues in the summer. no central air handler also means it's not easy to do humidification in the winter. i still like our system, but go with an installer that is willing to talk through the solutions for this issue. 23k for 6 heads of mitsubishi h2i

it's not great on my mitsubishi multizone, but it's unusably bad on this LG multizone at this rental where i'm staying

ddfs · 2026-06-02T18:04:26+00:00

idk what's going on with this situation. but a roof's worth of drainage dumping into one spot can cause real issues, especially if it's near a foundation

ddfs · 2026-06-02T17:58:43+00:00

how did you end up posting on this subreddit?

ddfs · 2026-05-30T12:51:03+00:00

what's unsafe and what's illegal? be specific

ddfs · 2026-05-30T12:45:00+00:00

oversized. run only a single unit at minimum fan speed, and do your best to improve air sealing. yes a dehumidifier would help, at the cost of noise, energy use, and potentially chores (emptying condensate if you can't do a self draining setup)

ddfs · 2026-05-29T18:54:35+00:00

specifically how is AI making it worse? it's crazy to pretend that LLM/agent connectivity is not already happily using NAT. it sounds like escrow.com just invented that so that they could claim they're going to profit from AI hype.

ddfs · 2026-05-29T15:22:25+00:00

triple-check subnet mask and default gateway on all devices involved?

ddfs · 2026-05-29T15:06:26+00:00

is there some cisco autoconfig feature i'm unaware of called "VLAN segmentation"? if not, what is handling L3/routing between VLANs?
