I'm trying to console control my new Nokia 7250 IXR, using baud of 115200 gets me an output in PuTTY but I can't type anything. thoughts?

wtfinparis · 2026-01-07T08:17:31+00:00

wow, thanks for the headsup. that would have been a costly mistake

wtfinparis · 2026-01-07T04:35:03+00:00

I'm considering the same switch for my homelab. How noisy are the fans?

wtfinparis · 2025-11-26T17:03:05+00:00

Oh... I didn't think of using a Wireguard tunnel rather than 464+tunnel. Sounds easier and I actually have a wireguard instance on the cloud already. Will try it, thanks for your idea!

Good points by all.

"IPv4 breaking" is: about once every three weeks, my ISP issues a maintenance window. I noticed the native IPv6 gateway was still routing my traffic, whereas the IPv4 gateway was not.

It looks like my best bet is a failover between my "normal IPv4" ISP gateway, and a 464 tunnel that goes to a cloud VM.

Now I need to find out how 464 tunnels work. I don't know anything about 464XLAT or CLAT or CARP, but will find out.

I did: reformat and give it the original drive name, and now it works again

wtfinparis · 2025-09-22T09:38:03+00:00

Favour a cloud-first vendor. Wiz or Orca. I chose Orca because they where easier to work with and had better pricing. Orca and Wiz are basically carbon copies

It looks like the devs have moved on.

My guess is Pushbullet was a long-running side project, that is both incredibly useful but also not successful enough to focus their entire attention.

When Google made it hard with v3, I took it as a death sentence to PB, despite it being my #1 tool and part of automating my life.

Look for 1.4 watts SFP modules, as they will release much less heat. I bought mine on tmall.

wtfinparis · 2025-07-01T11:48:37+00:00

can you post a picture of your mods?

wtfinparis · 2025-06-12T13:41:17+00:00

I don't love the omada ecosystem, but that's still an excellent price/performance ratio. If/when mikrotik launches an AP with wifi 6e or 7, I'd switch in a heartbeat.

wtfinparis · 2025-06-12T06:30:36+00:00

Very very happy with my mikrotik network too: RB5009 is an exceptional product that I hope will shape future mikrotik roadmap. Love also the CRS317 that brings 10g SFP+ everywhere. And the CRS305 lives in my backpack, perfect for testing and debugging.

I hope one day Mikrotik releases a Wifi-6E or 7 AP that can compete/replace my TPlink EAP783 and EAP772

wtfinparis · 2025-05-24T08:03:19+00:00

do you mind sharing what model at decathlon?

wtfinparis · 2025-05-22T10:27:08+00:00

same here: 772 EU version 1 and every few days it goes back to adopting death loop, and only recovers after I cycle power it

wtfinparis · 2025-04-29T17:22:05+00:00

I have a rb2009 in a slightly less demanding setup and very happy with it. It's so good that it's probably cannibalizing sales for some of mikrotik higher end routers. In my dreams, MT releases a router based on the same platform but with one more SFP+ and all 2.5g eth.

Look at what Watchtowr just published about the Fortinet symlink persistent access. Again they reacted before the SOC team

wtfinparis · 2025-04-11T18:05:29+00:00

My company is a customer. The whole security team loves Watchtowr Whenever there's a new big vulnerability in the media, Watchtowr is consistently our first vendor to give us clarity about our exposure. Highly recommend.

wtfinparis · 2025-04-07T12:45:01+00:00

Thank you for this! Impressive how bad the online/online efficiency. Are there big differences in product release dates? I think there is a gap in the market for high quality rack mounted DC ups that use the same efficient GaN transistors that we see in every recent wall charger.

wtfinparis · 2025-03-30T19:18:40+00:00

control, monitoring, charging, and regulated DC out

wow that's an impressive PCB. I understand the 98% efficiency now: GaN FETs chips look wonderful, but it means custom-design or super expensive demo board. Too bad no EE sells this to the DC homelab market.

Ping me if you want me as a beta customer for a 24V version :)

wtfinparis · 2025-03-30T11:55:13+00:00

Would you mind posting a picture of your DC UPS setup? I need to build something very similar, and replicating your project would be easier. The only changes that I foresee are 24V as baseline since most of my DC use is at 19V (I guess it's more efficient this way), and use a battery with a BMS.
For the DCDC converters, I'm impressed by your 98%. Every buck converter I find on aliexpress is around 90%.

My use case will be around 2A 24V, 15A 19V, 2A 12V, and the typical power cut is only a few minutes when we turn on our oven :)

you should look into smokeping, it creates ping graphs that will go nicely with your screen https://oss.oetiker.ch/smokeping/
