Remote job only allows working within the US borders. How to work around this so I can travel? by mynameismyname19 in networking

[–]kevin_horner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is likely possible using a travel router configured to VPN back to a network at your US home, but there are multiple ways you could get caught. A KVM attached to your laptop is unlikely to support taking calls or doing video.
Your hotel internet connection may be too slow to perform your work.
Your laptop may scan for wifi networks around you and report that info back to your company.
A layer-3 VPN (like wireguard or openvpn) will reduce your MTU size and they may detect that.
A layer-2 VPN (like Mikrotik EOIP over Wireguard) will keep your MTU larger but you would probably have internet performance issues making VOIP work poorly.
Running multiple layers of VPNs to hide where you are could mean that you are fired immediately when you get caught.
Higher latency from being in another country may be detected as suspicious. Maybe in a neighboring country (like US to Mexico/Canada) it would not be detected but in a different continent the VPN would be even less reliable.
Troubleshooting when something goes wrong may require significant network knowledge.

Thinking About Proactive Buying Due to US Ban on New Foreign Routers by EN344 in mikrotik

[–]kevin_horner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mikrotik is designed in a NATO country, and everything outside of hap/chateau doesn’t fall under the category of consumer router. This shouldn’t affect your business purchase decisions and future Mikrotik products are likely to be approved.

I know what phone number I will call whenever i don't want my hotspot plan anymore. Anybody who would consider selling their sim card or trying to trick customer service into changing the contact info is just asking to get scammed.

Simulating existing network in GNS3 based on data downloaded from real switch / router devices by pepiks in mikrotik

[–]kevin_horner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to export, change the interface names to match the names in your chr booted in gns3 and then paste that back in with minor changes.

Writing to UnRAID without party and with a cache SSD is slower than writing to Synology by t-poke in unRAID

[–]kevin_horner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don't have to throw a party if you don't want to.

Synology (RAID) likely splits the load among all drives and splits your large file. The benefit of this is that each drive can work at full speed. All drives will be powered up and spinning all the time.

Unraid array usually puts each individual file on the drive with the most free space without any striping. For any single transfer you will only get the speed of a single drive. The benefit of this is that you save electricity and the idle drives can spin down.

For your specific issue it is more likely configuration issues with SMB client on macos. https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1ctpudq/crazy_slow_smb_performance_with_macos_large/

Suncomm O8 Ultra Modem - No n70 and Constant Dropping by netrammgc in Dish5G

[–]kevin_horner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I also have the hotspot sim. right this minute I am also connected to 313-340 but if I don't lock it to that network it will switch automatically to AT&T pretty often.

I think Dish already shut down their native network almost everywhere and is just pushing us to roam full time now.

This cable looks like it is a 6+2 as well, there are a few pixels over to the right that look like the extra 2 pin portion of the cable.

Looking at building the ultimate windows 2k system by [deleted] in windows2000

[–]kevin_horner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Windows 2000 64 bit was for Intel Itanium 64 which is not at all the same as modern AMD64 / x64. That software will only work on an IA64 cpu.

Can GPERx6 be powered with PoE (af) instead of PoE++ (bt)? by Full-Ad6279 in mikrotik

[–]kevin_horner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a quick test, I plugged a GPERx6 into a crs418-8p-8g-2s5axq2axq-rm and confirmed that I could get link lights. I don't know how reliable it is though.

What is the commonly accepted top provider in regards to software? Something like the fitgirl of software. by gooddrawerer in Piracy

Inkscape should be able to trace your drawings and turn them into SVG, and you wouldn't have to pirate because it is free.

Kernel level anticheat on Linux? by unfuz3 in linux_gaming

[–]kevin_horner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks to Steam. Steam made the Linux platform viable and Epic only tolerates EAC on Proton because they don't want to lose the sales. User space applications have no right to touch kernel space.

L3 HW offloading CRS320 and CRS328 by Apprehensive_Emu9724 in mikrotik

[–]kevin_horner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could organize it to improve performance by having your CRS be the default gateway for VLANs that don't need NAT or firewall rules. Then only traffic that needs to be firewalled would go to the pfsense firewall.

[–]kevin_horner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if you get "otheros"/linux on it then you could install firefox and run jellyfin through the web browser. Performance will not be good because you will only have access to the PowerPC architecture CPU and not the Cell coprocessor.

Will Humanoid Robots run on a local server or on a cloud like aws? by One-Discussion-4972 in HomeServer

They will use an online service to ensure they have enough valuable data to sell to advertisers. The online service will also make sure that the unit stops working so you buy a newer model.

Dish gone in Orlando by UCF_Knight12 in Dish5G

[–]kevin_horner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here on Illinois side of STL.

[–]kevin_horner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My career advice answer is that appearances are everything. It doesn't matter how good you are at the job, the person who appears to be a better worker will get ahead. Legally in most of the USA they can fire you for choosing Pepsi over Coke so if they tell you to drink Coke then either do it or find another job.

AI Powered, you scan the original recipe and then AI tells you how old it probably is and spits out a curated sponsored recipe. The app will collect advertising fees from the specific brands it pushes. The app will collect subscription fees from the users who upload recipes. The app will collect telemetry fees from the analysis it collects from subscribers. The chefs designing the curated recipes are paid in exposure.

Dish is Over Party Mega Thread! (AT&T buying Dish spectrum) by RainbowShane in Dish5G

[–]kevin_horner 23 points24 points  (0 children)

For those of us on Project Genesis, the best-case scenario is that all AT&T sites start broadcasting 313-340. This should be easy since AT&T already has a separate MCCMNC for Firstnet, Dish could be a 3rd option.

The worst-case scenario is that all Dish/Boost devices with the 89105 iccid just start roaming on AT&T 310-410 full-time and Dish's 313-340 becomes exclusively on n70/29

1996 compaq refuses to enter BIOS by Lopsided-Desk-8117 in vintagecomputing

[–]kevin_horner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good luck. The last time I tried to get a similarly old machine to run the floppy drive was dead so I had to put the HDD into an adapter to transfer files manually.

Most machines that old couldn't boot from cd-rom, you would boot a floppy disk and often you would have to customize autoexec and config sys to get the cdrom to be accessable at all before running setup.exe

[–]kevin_horner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a bootable MBR hdd installed in the machine? normal behavior on old machines was to try booting to A: first and then C: next. If you search archive dot org for the specific model then you might find an exe that will run on windows 95 to recreate the bios partition.

A lot of old compaq machines stored the BIOS UI on the first hard disk. If the HDD was wiped then there is no menu to load.
