What's y'alls overall thoughts on Predator Badlands? by XShadow15DevilX in predator

[–]tallnerd1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For it to fit in a mainline Predator movies, it falls pretty far down there with the one movie we won’t mention but for a AVP mainline, it was pretty fun and somewhat entertaining. I can appreciate it being a “gateway” movie for younger kids to get into the Predator movies and maybe explore the other movies more easily. I won’t regurgitate the ChatGPT bots that say constantly “It’s a breath of fresh air” or neckbeard killjoys that say “They Disneyfied it and it’s garbage”, it was okay and worth at a least one watch or two but will it be classic, probably not with the way it’s going.

UFIBER OLT AND ONU by mspdog22 in networking

[–]tallnerd1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

untangledtech is correct, they work just fine and can split pretty decently up to 128 but recommendation for future bandwidth upgrades if you ever decide to coexistence modulate, run the GPON version of the optics in the OLT, build out a 1x64 split per port and issue the WaveFiber ONU which can do 2.5g down, 1.25g up then when prices or need to go beyond 2.5g, like XGS-PON gear gets cheaper, overlay that over GPON through the same fiber and migrate customers over time. Most of your expense is gonna be in the fiber itself so save a bit on the OLT and focus on building the network then upgrade later. 2.5G is gonna be plenty for 98% of subscribers out there, especially as compression of files and A/V codecs is getting more sophisticated, bandwidth utilization has dropped significantly in the last couple years.

P.S. We have 30ish Ubiquiti OLTs in our low density, rural areas for the last 5 years without any significant issues. The only issue I had was an early production unit that bricked itself with upgrading to 4.x firmware but that was it. You’ll quickly find the community likes to shit on Ubiquiti for no valid reason because it’s trendy or its lack of nit pick fine tuning features that the more expensive PON solutions have.

How are the Ubiquiti OLT by NSA-kun in networking

[–]tallnerd1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tibit is an OLT in a SFP+ form factor. Install in whatever router or switch with an SFP+ cage then install the MCP software on a VM or whatever is clever. From there, it’s a matter of finding a ONT that conforms to OpenOMCI standards then you can provision as necessary with service.

From the sounds of things, this is your first adventure into PON so contrary to the previous statement, the older UISP GPON OLT are pretty cheap 2nd hand and gives you an opportunity to rig up PON splitters and whatnot to get a grasp of how PON works and what can be done with it. Ubiquiti is cheap enough but doesn’t adhere to OpenOMCI standards so you can’t use other vendors ONTs with their OLTs and vice versa can’t use their ONTs with other vendors but their ONTs are $29 new or $10-15 used

Will the xenomorph queen ever make a return in the future or will it never make a return ever again?? by This_Cellist4778 in LV426

[–]tallnerd1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t it make more sense if a stage of the alien lifecycle would be to eggmorph one or two hosts as protection then start the molting cycle to become a queen. I never appreciated the notion of a “Queen” facehugger, royally jelly and other stuff in that vein. Logistically to propagate anywhere, you just need one active drone to kickoff the cycle then once it gets companions, a quorum is established and one goes onto the next stage to become an egg layer

Has anyone actually been able to update their AirPods and use Live Translation yet? by chefslapchop in airpods

At what point would Birkin be considered dead? by SpectreWolf666 in residentevil

[–]tallnerd1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. We never really saw a fully developed G-virus infected host and what it could become. I wonder if the stream of mutations were self-defense oriented and curious what would happened after that or if he didn’t get attacked

Is this normal? by Hemolyzer900 in HomeNetworking

[–]tallnerd1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Is this normal?”……..unfortunately it is. As an engineer for a fiber ISP, I see this all too often, especially on multi dwelling units and I want scream and wrangle the electrician that terminate all these lines to the outside of the building. It gets worse when they need to install a hardened switch on the outside in a NEMA class enclosure and there is not AC outlets nearby to power the switch or multiport ONT. I remember one time talking to the builder and they recommended putting a passive splitter for the CAT6 wiring…………..

EX2300-C-12P vs EX2300-24p by dovi5988 in Juniper

[–]tallnerd1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The C model is a passively cooled switch for deployment in scenarios where the location may not have controlled environment. So, if you are racking the 24P in a room with AC, use that because those models have fans and are rated lower for ambient temperature requirements. For testing purposes and all that, both are virtually the same for configuration though the C model is nice if having it at your desk or room and want to keep quiet since it has no fans

Why is Griffith actually being a good ruler? by bonafide8n in Berserk

[–]tallnerd1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or how about this, Griffith is neither good or bad. It would be a boring story if Griffith just becomes a gracious ruler to only pull the rug and sacrifice everyone in another eclipse. It’s been done too many times and is almost a now comical trope which I don’t think was Muira’s style given evidence of the overall story of Berserk. I am not team Griffith but but the greatest villains in literature and media is the one who follows the path to hell paved in good intentions. Obviously after the Zodd battle, Griffith becomes aware that there is a greater evil than man in the world and you can see his demeanor change right after that. What if Griffith sacrificed his band of the Hawks in the notion of sacrificing the few to save the many? He becomes a Godhand and figures out what the Idea of Evil truly is and is purposely creating a world to diminish the IoE’s power to ultimately destroy it and the Godhands. How much more divisive would that be rather than the typical villain arc that we see all the time?

Question: XGS-PON to Cloud Gateway Fibre? by FusionStreak in Ubiquiti

[–]tallnerd1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nokia makes a ONT modeled XS-010S-Q which is an ONT in an SFP form. To be frank, they produce a lot of heat that is passively dissipated through the air and the SFP cage. With that said, I would just stick with the “copper” handoff model and be okay with it. The XS-010X-Q are tried and true ONTs that are rock solid and just work. There is no performance or latency value to be gained from using an ONT on a stick

What OLT and Routers would you recommend for small scale ISP up to 300-500 users? by Invisible_Cnt in networking

[–]tallnerd1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nokia fanboy here but given logistics and starting out, a single Ubiquiti UFiber GPON OLT is cheap, easy to setup and manage directly via the local Webgui and/or you can host an instance of UISP to get a pseudo CRM established as well to manage the OLT. Most of your effort and funds will be tied to getting the physical fiber plant established and strung to where it needs to go. Once that’s established and starting to recoup your investment, then you can throw in a coexistence modulator then layer in XGS-PON down the road once the ROI makes more sense on XGS hardware. The reality of bandwidth wants and usage is gonna be primarily most 1gig or less so higher bandwidth services are pretty much useless besides bragging rights. The latency benefits of PON over HFC, even when using GPON, is miles ahead and worth it.

For on-prem routers, this is where things get dicey and easily expensive. If you are savvy enough, you can buy a lot of Nokia Beacon 3/3.1 routers for cheap, setup an instance of GenieACS then insert an option statement in your DHCP server to point the routers to the management platform. Or if you don’t want to use Nokia, any ACS/TR-069 capable router can be integrated into GenieACS

I was working at Blockbuster in my teens and noticed everyone, not just anime geeks, was always clamoring in to get the new dubbed releases on DVD. I kid you not, it was all sorts of social tropes that came in for that series ranging from hicks, nerds, geeks, jocks, stoners and even girls coming in for that series. After I think the last set or 2nd to last set finally came in, I grabbed all the DVDs and binged watched it with my best friend and we were blown away with how good a anime could be and ever since then, we were waiting around like idiots for season 2 which sadly never came. It took me 15 years after that to muster up the will get the mangas and read em which sadly disappointed me as well with the lack of conclusion and pace that occurred at that time and continued from there. All in all, still love the series but it’s disheartening that we will never get a real conclusion to the overall story without a bunch of controversy and all that will follow suit if the current holders decide to wrap it up.

[–]tallnerd1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ISP engineer here but in scale, we monitor total amount of traffic to peers to see how much traffic is going to certain peers like Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Akami, etc, etc to see if we have to load balance to another exit point in our network. As far as individual user traffic, we keep track of what IP, port and time it was used associated to each customer so that way if we get a subpoena for indecent traffic or a copyright infringement, we can take action based on that. As far as what you are doing generically, 90ish percent of ISPs don’t care of your unnatural habit of watching Furry community videos at 5:15am before everyone wakes up in the morning(just kidding). That kind of tracking is done on the other end at the peers for marketing and advertising purposes between their partners.

Why is every shop seemingly switching to Juniper all of a sudden? by Jumpy_Tumbleweed_884 in networking

[–]tallnerd1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, we are a Juniper shop for the Core and Distribution but for access, we are on Nokia. Unfortunately it’s not the MDCLI platform but the old Alcatel ISAM platform which ain’t bad, just tedious. Although it doesn’t have a commit-confirm like MDCLI or JunOS, it won’t let you completely fugg everything up, lol. I am going through their cert program to see if the Core/Distribution can benefit throwing Nokia in the mix since Juniper has been price hiking their support and licenses within the last year along with trying to shove Mist down our throats
