<riteo>
sorry people this thing does not turn itself on and the power is super unstable so the stars have to align
<riteo>
I'm unironically tempted to poison myself with lead by soldering a goddamn whole ass arduino just for a "wait 10 seconds, pulse half a second" script
<kris_>
what are you hosting this on
<riteo>
I already told ya
<kris_>
most things have a toggle in the bios for power on after AC loss
<kris_>
i know
<kris_>
i just wanted to make sure
<riteo>
a gutted laptop ziptied in a pc case powered from an atx splitter and a boost converter
<riteo>
along with like 3 full fat hdds
<riteo>
my baby
<kris_>
yeah im just surprised that doesn't have a thing to boot back up after power loss
<riteo>
IIRC i already played around with the bios
<riteo>
I don't think laptop have that feature really
<riteo>
that's more of a desktop PC thing
<riteo>
that thin client and my desktop have that feature indeed
<kris_>
mayhaps i dunno
<riteo>
I should really put the client on the thin client
<riteo>
I have to just set up the switch
<riteo>
sooo uhhh I tried setting the trunk to tagged and i got locked out
<riteo>
I guess my router is too dumb?
<riteo>
I just set the thing as untagged and put everything on the same switch?
<riteo>
never configured one before
<kris_>
the problem is that i can't really explain it to you because it varies by vendor
<riteo>
aight
<kris_>
but you want to tag traffic from specific ports
<kris_>
and usually you have like a management vlan with an ID of like 1
<riteo>
yea but then do I need to tag it all the way to the router
<riteo>
because it's not happy about that apparently
<kris_>
yes
<riteo>
fuck
<riteo>
my router has no vlan funcionality so I have no way to tell it to just go ahead
<kris_>
so when the packet hits your router it will see that it's tagged and shuffle it into its LAN
<kris_>
oh you dont have openwrt?
<riteo>
my laptop is a broadcom shit brick from my ISP
<riteo>
wifi is cooked too
<riteo>
had to put an AP like next to it
<riteo>
s/laptop/router/
kata has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<kris_>
yeah the switch just tags traffic and the router does the rest
<kris_>
you can't split traffic like that with just the switch
<riteo>
what if I ignored all the ports of the router
<riteo>
and just like put everything in the switch only
<riteo>
would that work
<riteo>
tagging everything except the trunk
<kris_>
your router has to be running two different DHCP servers and has to be vlan aware so it can view the tag and route appropriately based on that
<riteo>
pain
<kris_>
if there's no way for you to do this via your router than idk what to tell you
<kris_>
then*
<riteo>
fuck my ISP
<riteo>
€200 and has no vlan settings
<kris_>
do you have another router
<riteo>
nope
<kris_>
you can daisychain them if you were so inclined
<kris_>
ah
<riteo>
planning long term to get an openwrt lan
<riteo>
but first gotta get ftth
<kris_>
and yeah vlans are generally like an enterprise gear concept
<riteo>
but first gotta convince my parents that their ISP is shit
<riteo>
does not support fiber here yet the government infra thing does and a competitor too
<kris_>
i'm lucky that my dad and stepmother give me full control over this stuff
<kris_>
and yeah we don't have fiber either
<riteo>
"no we've been customers for 30 years we gotta stay here, TIM got the majority and most technicians"
<riteo>
"no mom that changed a few years ago"
<riteo>
"the competitor must be wrong then"
<riteo>
"there's a box outside our home"
<riteo>
and so on
<kris_>
so daisychain
<kris_>
both people get to be happy outside of power consumption
<riteo>
by box I mean fiber receptacle
<kris_>
use the ISP router as WAN
<kris_>
for your openwrt box
<kris_>
double NAT is fucking disgusting but it works
<riteo>
I don't have an openwrt one yet
<kris_>
well i mean just incase you cant convince them to change anything
<riteo>
gotta convince them to buy a new router :P
<kris_>
up until i managed to get what i wanted set up my network setup was fucking bad
<riteo>
we aren't poor by any means but still is a chore to buy anything that isn't perceived as excessively important or like... a leisure like a game
<kris_>
i basically made a DIY wifi card out of a raspberry pi
<kris_>
connect to wifi, route out the ethernet port into a switch
<kris_>
because was the only way to get ethernet upstairs for a long time
<riteo>
feel ya
<riteo>
fun fact
<riteo>
APs/Boosters work like that too
<riteo>
so like you can wire them "backwards"
<kris_>
egh im gonna have fun with APs shortly
<kris_>
one of my friends bought like 6 of them and wants a seamless mesh wifi setup
<riteo>
ouch
<riteo>
never got the seamless part to work onestly
<kris_>
irl people i mean and he hasnt been able to get it to work whatsoever so i figure i'm going to end up over there fixing that
<riteo>
I suppose that the only way to get seamless is to go full mesh network overpowered stuff?
<kris_>
riteo: see my solution to this is just to buy a stupidly OP access point
<kris_>
just the one
<riteo>
traditional mesh is like, same name for all aps and fast roaming
<riteo>
but that's not seamless
<kris_>
my little wax210 on max compute power reaches so so so so far beyond my house that i can walk down the street for like 15 minutes and still be connected
<riteo>
kris_: that's an awesome idea
<kris_>
compte / broadcast
<kris_>
s///
<riteo>
although it's gonna be fun near it
<riteo>
200 TeraWatts of power in your phone
<riteo>
gonna feel like the dude who discovered microwaves
<kris_>
my old IT teacher used to resell internet to his neighbors
<kris_>
basically he'd pay for internet from the normal ISP and just give everyone else their own wifi SSID and LAN
<kris_>
he had like satellite dish looking things outside of his house that *according to him* had a range of like 10km
<kris_>
apparently cranking them to max would give everyone headaches that was standing near it but idk if i believe that
<riteo>
I'd expect at least some warming tbh
<riteo>
like
<riteo>
10 kms dude
<kris_>
forgive my spelling mistakes and whatnot right now, i accidentally got myself high by overlapping doses of medicine
<riteo>
no worries
<riteo>
it's like 3 am here so I don't really mind
<riteo>
not that I'd normally
<riteo>
but especially now
<riteo>
also
<kris_>
this is the second time ive done this, i really need to quit it
<riteo>
I accidentally 4th'd of july
<kris_>
i don't have a schedule to take my meds so i just try to do it at the same time daily
<riteo>
as an italian I'm really outraged of my sin
<kris_>
sometimes there's a lot of variance and i get a bunch of built up overlap
<riteo>
I can eat once a week normal food so I like. Blast myself with food. Unhealty amonunts
<riteo>
but yesterday the power went out so it became today
<riteo>
and I'm eating... tex mex
<riteo>
full american
<kris_>
oh i thought you were going to say you set off a firework way too low to the ground and set off the car alarms on every car on your street
<riteo>
mamma yee haawww
<kris_>
(has happened in my neighborhood probably 30 times today)
<riteo>
lmao
<kris_>
i'm getting fucking pissed
<riteo>
fuck now that you let me think about it there were quite a few fireworks today
<riteo>
and this place is full of americans
<riteo>
because NATO base
<riteo>
I wonder if those were usual fireworks or the local americans
<kris_>
it tweaks me out because they're literally right above my house so it shakes my house
<riteo>
fireworks moment
<riteo>
I mean I can't really consider myself better, we neapolitans love them
<kris_>
oh they look amazing
<riteo>
end of the year? A metric ton
<kris_>
i just hate them being so loud and impactful that i can feel it in my chest
<kris_>
the vibrations from them i mean
<riteo>
too fucking much. It's basically a meme to hear people using illegal fireworks and losing fingers
<riteo>
here we go overboard
<riteo>
and don't let me started now that we started winning the national cup
<riteo>
last year was the first time in like 30+ years?
<riteo>
YOU COULD NOT GO IN NAPLES WITHOUT BEING SUBMERGED BY PEOPLE
<kris_>
can't be as bad as british football fans
<kris_>
or maybe australian ones
<riteo>
now they did it again at the last minute and they closed my fucking university
<riteo>
nono I'm 100% that we're worse than both of them
<kris_>
lmao
<riteo>
wait lemme fetch the stuff from last year
<riteo>
like, this year people cheered so hard that they made, no joke, a sismic reaciton
<riteo>
reaction
<riteo>
the ground fucking VIBRATED
<kris_>
thats pretty impressive
<riteo>
I can't find quickly stuff from last year but got a fish eye view of the event unfolding in real time
