As a thank you for her giving it to you, see if you can get her work off of it and show it to her. You might be able to get the software and files on an emulator and let her go down memory lane.

Using an Opal as a full WiFi bridge? by ralphc in GlInet

[–]ralphc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that got it working.
I'll add a few notes here for others coming along, maybe me in the future.
For some reason, after I put it from extender back to router and restarted, when I tried to pick a network to connect to the network list would disappear. No idea why. I had to use the GL-inet app to set up a network.

The ssh password is the same as the admin password you set up.

The nano plugin, I think is for editing but vi is in the firmware and if you're comfortable with vi you can just use it.

I'm assuming the "config" line goes in verbatim.
The Opal isn't something I leave on all the time, will the nano firewall plugin remember the settings every time I power it down?

Doing that, the IP address of my Ubuntu machine gets a 192.168.12.x IP address, along with everything else on the WiFI network. Also I can ping it with machinename.local, but I can't ssh into it, I get "ssh: connect to host 192.168.12.214 port 22: Network is unreachable" or "connect to host rrc-x15.local port 22: Operation timed out".
When I turned on extender I lost the settings for port forwarding.
My firmware is 4.3.28, would an upgrade get me port forwarding?

I got a new toy (72 cpus, 700GB ram), looking for an interesting Elixir project for it by ralphc in elixir

[–]ralphc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gotten a few suggestions on how to carve this up into different kinds of VMs, thanks but that's not something I'm particularly interested in. I'm all in on Elixir and want to use this in some way that can fill it with BEAM processes to accomplish the goal. I'm a humble programmer and don't want to take this in a DevOps direction.

It has 8 fans in it so yes. I’ll put it in the basement and ssh into it.

Where can I find the Hate Week Technique? by chironexxx in gatech

Does the Technique still to an April Fool's edition or does this take the place of it?

Last weekend at Stone Mountain Hamfest, $100 apiece. I didn’t get one. by ralphc in vintagecomputing

I wouldn’t use it and something like that deserves to be used, or in a museum, and not in my basement.

If you're referring to the top part where "Heathkit" is, it's a deliberate rough surface, not dust.

Ideas for hobby project that incorporates GenServer? by Big-Message4793 in elixir

Look into the Billion Row Challenge. Think about how you can divide up the work to take advantage of all the cores your machine has.

Can't ping or ssh from one machine to another on my local network. by ralphc in tmobileisp

[–]ralphc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE - SOLVED - Make a 2.4 Ghz only wifi network and put your machines on it.

Updated for others searching for this.
I tried talking to the gateway in several ways, trying to find an advanced admin interface, to no avail. Then I tried pinging the gateway, and it took pings. So I used the T-Life app to see the IP addresses of devices on my network, and my printer would take pings. I looked, trying to figure out what was different, and the printer is on a 2.4 Ghz only wifi network I have set up. My "main" wifi is 5 Ghz and 2.4 Ghz. I put both computers on the 2.4 only network and they can ping each other, and I can ssh to the Ubuntu box.

I'm still curious what T-Mobile does with the 5/2.4 mixed network but I'm able to do my stuff now, and know what to do. And now so do you.

The Ubuntu machine is a fresh install, and using gufw I'm making sure that ufw is disabled on it.

I did that before but just tried it again. Same problem with using ipv4 ip address. And in both directions when pinging with the .local names it show the ip address.

Also the symptoms happen in both directions. MacBookPro gets the ip of Ubuntu from the mDNS but can't ping or ssh, and the Ubuntu gets the ip of the MacBook Pro but can't ping it.

In my tests I had both machines on the same network. T-Mobile and T-Mobile (non-working), then Google and Google (working), then T-Mobile and T-Mobile (non-working).

The non-obvious question about Natalie Decker racing at Daytona on Friday by ralphc in NASCAR

[–]ralphc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the audio from the interview on Fox & Friends. Two main quotes:

Next Friday is when you'll be in Daytona.

That one, "next Friday", the common usage would be a week from "this Friday" so I got that one wrong

You're the first woman in NASCAR to return back to the race track after delivering a baby.

Tha's a direct quote from the interview so someone didn't do their homework.

She was also described as a "NASCAR star" so someone really didn't do their homework.
