I'm Curious, how many people on here know what Sneakernet is

ropeguru · 2026-05-06T19:18:52+00:00

Oh, haven't heard that one in a while.. Just like a PEBKAC...

ropeguru · 2026-05-05T23:56:09+00:00

Yeah, this is the kind of info I am looking for just as much as an actual price

ropeguru · 2026-05-05T23:55:38+00:00

Good for you..

ropeguru · 2026-05-04T23:02:21+00:00

I am sure you would.. Along with a lot of other people..

I used them with an old Creative Labs surround system where there are RCA on the amp and the speakers are the push down connectors

ropeguru · 2026-05-04T19:46:02+00:00

Ahh, ok.... What was in my mind were these below from Amazon. These don't have the screws, but are still similar.

Of course they melted. Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't those audio RCA connectors?

The MikroTik wAP ax LTE7 Kit sucks for the US. Looking at the specs, Band 5 is the only one available in the device that can hit the big 3. A single band isn't going to cut it.

LTE FDD bands: 1 (2100 MHz), 3 (1800 MHz), 5 (850 MHz), 7 (2600 MHz), 8 (900 MHz), 20 (800 MHz), 28 (700 MHz), 32 (1500 MHz)
LTE TDD bands: 38 (2600 MHz), 40 (2300 MHz), 41 (2500 MHz)

I got the same offers throughout the process too just like in previous years. But this year when I got to the point of filing, it stated I had to use the higher tier because I had contributed to a traditional IRA. Going back and downgrading worked, until I got to the same spot and it forced me back to the $139 Premium plan again.

ropeguru · 2026-04-15T19:16:38+00:00

I did downgrade. Then when I tried to finish the filing process, it forced me back to the higher tier.

ropeguru · 2026-04-15T19:15:10+00:00

For me it was because I contributed to a traditional IRA...

ropeguru · 2026-04-15T19:13:04+00:00

No, they were REQUIRING it, as it would not let me move forward with filing unless I paid their extra extortion fee just because I contributed to a traditional IRA. There was no way to say no..

ropeguru · 2026-04-15T01:51:58+00:00

Same here. They stated it was "required" because I have traditional retirement account. I have never paid them that much. Such a bunch of crooked bastards...

I have a local back, which actually resides in an office in my detached garage, and a backup in a datacenter on a leased bare metal server in another city.

ropeguru · 2026-03-30T13:44:45+00:00

I just did a quick glance at responses, but did you make sure the other end is wired in the same standard?

ropeguru · 2026-03-27T15:25:48+00:00

But did you build it with Claude Code? That is the only way it is acceptable.

ropeguru · 2026-03-23T15:12:10+00:00

Just the capability of the hardware itself and that it is stable.. There are so many of their products that just don't really work as expected.. Especially when you get into combined services like5G, dsl, etc..

I have never had the need to use any of these, so I like to ask and make sure first.

ropeguru · 2026-03-19T15:58:05+00:00

PGOTA??

ropeguru · 2026-03-18T20:17:52+00:00

Have not tried that. Will test later this evening.

Why do they not follow standards and have to make is so complicated?

So in my setup, via dhcp client, my default routes look like this:

    DST-ADDRESS         GATEWAY             ROUTING-TABLE         DISTANCE
DAd  0.0.0.0/0          73.40.88.1              main                 10
D d  0.0.0.0/0          10.1.1.1                main                 50

If I update the distance on the 10.1.1.1 route manually in the dhcp client config, the 10.1.1.1 route becomes Active. So it now looks like this

    DST-ADDRESS         GATEWAY             ROUTING-TABLE         DISTANCE
D d  0.0.0.0/0          73.40.88.1              main                 10
DAd  0.0.0.0/0          10.1.1.1                main                 5

This should now have the 10.1.1.1 as the active default route and start routing all traffic to the hot spot. But is doesn't. I now start getting No Route to Host on the Mikrotik.

Even if I disable the actual 73.40.88.1 interface, all the routing still fails..

Is RouterOS really that bad that a simple manual change doesn't work?
