| wrst | oh an netritious bought cables from amazon the amazon basics brand I was a little suspect of them but had good reviews, so far so good | 02:20 |
|---|---|---|
| minasota | Is there a way to get links in weechat to open in w3m? When I ssh into my vps and attach the tmux session, I would like for the url's I click on to open with w3m in the split pane | 02:48 |
| minasota | Vertical split - w3m on the left, weechat on that right with mouse enabled (/mouse /enable) | 02:49 |
| minasota | err /mouse enable that is | 02:50 |
| minasota | I can disable mouse, use the tmux keybinding to select text and copy, then toggle to w3m pane and paste the url... It works but it's... not as easy as I judge it could be | 02:54 |
| netritious | nice wrst! glad it was just a cable :) | 05:12 |
| wrst | yeah netritious now to purchase a boatload of network cards.... the budget must catch up a bit I will "struggle" along for now :) | 13:40 |
| netritious | wrst: lol struggle | 18:28 |
| wrst | yeah this connection is wonderful! | 18:28 |
| wrst | have 3 HD video streams playing right now | 18:28 |
| wrst | and not taxing anything close | 18:28 |
| netritious | can I just rent a room in the back? pitch a tent? SOMETHING?! lol | 18:29 |
| wrst | ha ha could give you the wifi password | 18:39 |
| wrst | :) | 18:39 |
| netritious | :) | 18:39 |
| wrst | now my challenge is just getting things so I can actually use it :) | 18:40 |
| netritious | i bet you could subsidise the cost of the connection and equipment between your neighbors via wifi | 18:42 |
| wrst | ha ha well they can all get the same thing now | 18:42 |
| wrst | but I could get fancy and charge them a fraction :) | 18:42 |
| netritious | that's what I meant, charge a fraction to each neighbor monthly and it would cheaper for tehm and you | 18:48 |
| netritious | *them | 18:48 |
| wrst | could get some of those point to point wifi antennaes | 18:48 |
| wrst | yeah I don't think I need to get into the ISP business :) | 18:49 |
| wrst | I'm having enough trouble getting a connection to my dad's barn for cameras | 18:49 |
| netritious | lol | 18:49 |
| netritious | I imagine it can become time consuming | 18:49 |
| netritious | do you plan to run more than one AP wrst? | 18:50 |
| wrst | at home? I'm not unless I need to but the ubiquitis I think automagically mesh together if you need them so plan on starting with one of them, or possibly might just go with that AP you showed me that would be a LOT easier and really make more sense | 18:51 |
| netritious | I've read a little bit about the ubiquiti routers and mesh networking and am not entirely convinced I'm ready to make that move. | 18:52 |
| netritious | If it ain't broke... | 18:53 |
| netritious | but if you do decide to run two APs at home with a pfsense box, it's simply adding another NIC on the pfsense box and plugging in the new AP. | 18:53 |
| netritious | and some config of course via the GUI | 18:54 |
| netritious | so say one AP is 192.168.1.1/24 and the other AP is 10.0.0.1/8, these networks will route to each other without issue via pfsense | 18:55 |
| wrst | sounds like pfsense is just the stuff really when you get down to it | 18:56 |
| netritious | if you only want 10.0.0.1/8 to talk to 192.168.1.1/24. but not vice versa, just setup a firewall rule | 18:57 |
| netritious | it's the closest thing I have gotten to that is free, stable, works on just about everything, has a webgui (like most routers do, commercial or otherwise), etc | 18:57 |
| netritious | commercial grade firewall for free | 18:58 |
| netritious | the best advice I could give you is don't go crazy on the packages unless you intend to backup very often | 18:58 |
| wrst | yeah netritious I just want the network to work | 18:59 |
| wrst | I really have no fancy needs just need to forward a port or two and that is really about it | 18:59 |
| wrst | I have found with things like pfsense usually the default is a pretty safe setup | 18:59 |
| wrst | I used a mikrotik router for a while and its default setup was really good and reasonably safe | 19:00 |
| netritious | I've heard they are nice...the microtik routers I mean. with pfsense though I recommend to use a hdd and not an ssd, use intel NICs, at least 2-4GB ram, (1GB is fine if you don't run snort) and you are gtg | 19:01 |
| netritious | I use 2.5" laptop drives mostly, although recently I paid way to much for the only officially supported ssd | 19:15 |
| wrst | yeah I was planning on a hard drive, shoudl I use a SSD for pfsense? | 19:20 |
| wrst | is the processor very important? figured it needed to be decent? | 19:20 |
| netritious | stick with an HDD | 19:21 |
| netritious | a harddrive | 19:21 |
| wrst | gotcha will do | 19:21 |
| wrst | have a 40GB just sitting here that is a good drive I never used | 19:21 |
| netritious | there is no real benefit to using SSD unless you are going for really low power (which I am) | 19:22 |
| netritious | If you have it use a SATA HDD although I'm not 100% it will matter. YMMV with IDE. | 19:23 |
| wrst | have sata just a very small one :) | 19:24 |
| wrst | this sounds fun | 19:24 |
| netritious | that should work fine | 19:24 |
| netritious | you'll know if it doesn't work right after install, and sometimes only then. | 19:25 |
| wrst | ha ha | 19:26 |
| wrst | well not like it has to work on the first run, I would be disappointed if it did | 19:26 |
| wrst | downloaded it last night and played around with it for a few minutes in a vm | 19:26 |
| netritious | yeah it works great in a vm. I use to use a pfsense VM configured as a bridge so I could put VM's directly on the net and manage it all on one workstation. | 19:28 |
| netritious | was good for testing servers | 19:28 |
| netritious | but not having to manage another machine to do it all | 19:29 |
| netritious | *do all of the routing/filtering | 19:29 |
| wrst | cool I was just looking at the UI nothing so grand :) | 19:29 |
| netritious | *an additional physical machine to do all the routing/filtering | 19:30 |
| netritious | nah, it's pretty basic. | 19:30 |
| netritious | depends on the packages. not every package has the same ease of configuration | 19:31 |
| netritious | if you recall I mentioned a few years ago buying two hp sff that had 3x PCI-e and 1x PCI? still have them, still running pfsense, every slot filled, four NICs in primary, two dual ports, one intel onboard gigabit, (7x RJ45 gigabit), then a cold standby with just two NICs, no RAM or hdd/ssd. | 19:36 |
| netritious | took the 2GB DDR2 from one and filled the four slots in the other for a total of 4GB RAM. | 19:37 |
| netritious | at the end of the journey, I might find I could have just spent the money and purchased a router directly from pfsense with commercial support lol | 19:39 |
| netritious | but for a 2-3 NIC setup, if you already have the hardware, it's reasonable and cost effective. | 19:43 |
| netritious | nope, cost me <half two have a cold standby, more ram, more ports, and user serviceable | 19:46 |
| netritious | *to have | 19:46 |
| wrst | but the fun is in the building and tinkering when I get something to work I'm partially disappointed :) | 19:50 |
| netritious | and get bored so move on to something else... :) | 19:51 |
| wrst | ha ha yes :) | 20:13 |
| wrst | ohhhh parts just came... bye! :) | 20:18 |
| Omnifrog | I hate lawnmowers | 23:52 |
