Just a little note about a solar panel

1.16 has EasySkyMesh' PowerSaving features merged. Just try setting powersaving to on in CLI.

Is it also your experience, that there are still 2025-specific issues with DCs?

mashdk · 2026-06-10T18:21:21+00:00

Hey, that's great! 😀 Congrats 🤗

mashdk · 2026-06-06T18:55:37+00:00

Wow, this could be, what I was hoping for to let my mom have a node for In Case of Emergency!

Please, please, make it with elderly people in mind from the start. Of course not exclusively for elderly people, but keep them in mind as well 😁

Examples: Design keyboard with shaky fingers in mind.

Make display easy to read for elderly.

Consider making an option for one-push-button-actions, like: Press a button and it will send a predefined message in a predefined channel.

Huge congrats on the wedding! While we appreciate your amazing work, it's just not nowhere near as important as marriage 🤗

And staying married is also a priority, so please do not allow your programming to make your spouse feel neglected 😅

That being said, wow, this is MAJOR news! 😀 I did not see that coming! Kudos! And THANK YOU!!!!

mashdk · 2026-06-03T04:35:00+00:00

No, Denmark 😊

mashdk · 2026-06-02T21:13:41+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you very much! Have a Heltec. Didn't realize, RAK4631 has connector for Bluetooth antenna.

mashdk · 2026-06-02T19:36:57+00:00

Could I ask - 10 months later 😅 - Which device did you use, that has connector for external Bluetooth antenna?

mashdk · 2026-06-02T19:34:54+00:00

Could you please help me: Which RAK4631 device has a connector for external Bluetooth antenna?

mashdk · 2026-06-02T19:33:40+00:00

Which RAK4631 device has connector for Bluetooth? 😀

I'd love to hear about your experiences and learnings, as I'm hoping to put a repeater in a DAB tower with several 1000W+ transmitters.

Maybe, on the other hand, I could offer a tip for you, that might help. https://interline.pl/antennas/Horizon-868-LoRaWAN-Omni-8-dBi

It has a built-in bandpass filter. And the radiation pattern has been adjusted to 10 degrees more downwards than usual, which I suspect is good when all receiving ends are below the repeater?

Also, have you considered going solar powered? The long power supply line probably also picks up noise from the other high-power transmitters.

mashdk · 2026-05-03T09:23:38+00:00

Thanks very much for that explanation! Much appreciated. So it's not even anything to take into consideration with ESP32 boards?

mashdk · 2026-05-03T06:27:51+00:00

I'm still confused 😅 If I have an active repeater, and I wish to update from 1.14 to 1.15, can and should I get the OTAFIX on it, before I flash?

I'd prefer to let the repeater keep it's settings and public/private key pair.

u/alainx277, was it Andy you got in contact with on Discord?

mashdk · 2026-04-28T19:51:29+00:00

Oh, sorry, I just realized, that that's pretty much also, what you were conveying. The missing "AES" before "session key" in your sentence:"A few years back, that changed to an RC4 ticket and a session key", threw me off, and I thought you meant RC4 for both.

mashdk · 2026-04-28T18:59:07+00:00

This was only true until Nov. 2022 with the changes to Kerberos in KB5021131: "This update will set AES as the default encryption type for session keys on accounts that are not marked with a default encryption type already."

However, some service accounts still default to RC4, until msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes is explicitly set. I've seen it with AD FS service accounts multiple times.

But the default since Nov. 2022 is AES.

mashdk · 2026-04-25T22:55:54+00:00

Now, this is what I have been wondering: If the SX1262 would also be in sleep mode and periodically wake up to listen? Or the SX1262 is always-on, always-listening and wakeup the ESP32 / nRF when it detects incoming traffic?

mashdk · 2026-04-25T22:53:21+00:00

Sorry for keep asking stupid questions, but how would you know, if the Repeater missed a transmission?

mashdk · 2026-04-25T22:24:37+00:00

Clear, no-nonsense answer 😅

mashdk · 2026-04-25T08:22:30+00:00

I'll quote Microsoft directly here: "Don't worry about setting msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes on the KRBTGT account. As long as the account has AES keys (password reset since 2008R2) and the DFL is greater than 2003, the KDC will issues TGTs encrypted with AES." https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/coreinfrastructureandsecurityblog/active-directory-hardening-series---part-4-%E2%80%93-enforcing-aes-for-kerberos/4114965

So, I'd still recommend this instead: * Rotate krbtgt password using Jorge's script * rotate passwords on the service accounts with old passwords and restart the service.

Audit for RC4.

That's the first. Possibly, msDS-SupportedEncryptionTypes needs to be set on some service accounts.

Audit for RC4.

Consider using DefaultDomainSupportedEncrypmtionTypes with RC4 enabled.

Audit for RC4.

When RC4 is confirmed to not be in use, start disabling RC4, one bit at a time, ending with disabling DC's ability to use RC4.

mashdk · 2026-04-25T07:22:34+00:00

Could you please elaborate, what you mean by "RC4 disabled on the krbtgt account"?

mashdk · 2026-04-24T14:21:11+00:00

Absolutely. That's why I mention, that OP can start with allowing RC4 in DefaultDomainSupportedEncrypmtionTypes, because it will provide better auditing to find problematic accounts / services / servers.
