[02:20] 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 [02:48] 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 [02:49] Vertical split - w3m on the left, weechat on that right with mouse enabled (/mouse /enable) [02:50] err /mouse enable that is [02:54] 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 [05:12] nice wrst! glad it was just a cable :) [13:40] yeah netritious now to purchase a boatload of network cards.... the budget must catch up a bit I will "struggle" along for now :) [18:28] wrst: lol struggle [18:28] yeah this connection is wonderful! [18:28] have 3 HD video streams playing right now [18:28] and not taxing anything close [18:29] can I just rent a room in the back? pitch a tent? SOMETHING?! lol [18:39] ha ha could give you the wifi password [18:39] :) [18:39] :) [18:40] now my challenge is just getting things so I can actually use it :) [18:42] i bet you could subsidise the cost of the connection and equipment between your neighbors via wifi [18:42] ha ha well they can all get the same thing now [18:42] but I could get fancy and charge them a fraction :) [18:48] that's what I meant, charge a fraction to each neighbor monthly and it would cheaper for tehm and you [18:48] *them [18:48] could get some of those point to point wifi antennaes [18:49] yeah I don't think I need to get into the ISP business :) [18:49] I'm having enough trouble getting a connection to my dad's barn for cameras [18:49] lol [18:49] I imagine it can become time consuming [18:50] do you plan to run more than one AP wrst? [18:51] 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 [18:52] 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. [18:53] If it ain't broke... [18:53] 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. [18:54] and some config of course via the GUI [18:55] 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 [18:56] sounds like pfsense is just the stuff really when you get down to it [18:57] 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] 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 [18:58] commercial grade firewall for free [18:58] the best advice I could give you is don't go crazy on the packages unless you intend to backup very often [18:59] yeah netritious I just want the network to work [18:59] I really have no fancy needs just need to forward a port or two and that is really about it [18:59] I have found with things like pfsense usually the default is a pretty safe setup [19:00] I used a mikrotik router for a while and its default setup was really good and reasonably safe [19:01] 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 [19:15] I use 2.5" laptop drives mostly, although recently I paid way to much for the only officially supported ssd [19:20] yeah I was planning on a hard drive, shoudl I use a SSD for pfsense? [19:20] is the processor very important? figured it needed to be decent? [19:21] stick with an HDD [19:21] a harddrive [19:21] gotcha will do [19:21] have a 40GB just sitting here that is a good drive I never used [19:22] there is no real benefit to using SSD unless you are going for really low power (which I am) [19:23] If you have it use a SATA HDD although I'm not 100% it will matter. YMMV with IDE. [19:24] have sata just a very small one :) [19:24] this sounds fun [19:24] that should work fine [19:25] you'll know if it doesn't work right after install, and sometimes only then. [19:26] ha ha [19:26] well not like it has to work on the first run, I would be disappointed if it did [19:26] downloaded it last night and played around with it for a few minutes in a vm [19:28] 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] was good for testing servers [19:29] but not having to manage another machine to do it all [19:29] *do all of the routing/filtering [19:29] cool I was just looking at the UI nothing so grand :) [19:30] *an additional physical machine to do all the routing/filtering [19:30] nah, it's pretty basic. [19:31] depends on the packages. not every package has the same ease of configuration [19:36] 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. [19:37] took the 2GB DDR2 from one and filled the four slots in the other for a total of 4GB RAM. [19:39] 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 [19:43] but for a 2-3 NIC setup, if you already have the hardware, it's reasonable and cost effective. [19:46] nope, cost me *to have [19:50] but the fun is in the building and tinkering when I get something to work I'm partially disappointed :) [19:51] and get bored so move on to something else... :) [20:13] ha ha yes :) [20:18] ohhhh parts just came... bye! :) [23:52] I hate lawnmowers
