[02:20] <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
[02:48] <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
[02:49] <minasota> Vertical split - w3m on the left, weechat on that right with mouse enabled (/mouse /enable)
[02:50] <minasota> err /mouse enable that is
[02:54] <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
[05:12] <netritious> nice wrst! glad it was just a cable :)
[13:40] <wrst> 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] <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
[18:29] <netritious> can I just rent a room in the back? pitch a tent? SOMETHING?! lol
[18:39] <wrst> ha ha could give you the wifi password
[18:39] <wrst> :)
[18:39] <netritious> :)
[18:40] <wrst> now my challenge is just getting things so I can actually use it :)
[18:42] <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 :)
[18:48] <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
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <netritious> do you plan to run more than one AP wrst?
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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.
[18:53] <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.
[18:54] <netritious> and some config of course via the GUI
[18:55] <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
[18:56] <wrst> sounds like pfsense is just the stuff really when you get down to it
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <wrst> I used a mikrotik router for a while and its default setup was really good and reasonably safe
[19:01] <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
[19:15] <netritious> I use 2.5" laptop drives mostly, although recently I paid way to much for the only officially supported ssd
[19:20] <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?
[19:21] <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
[19:22] <netritious> there is no real benefit to using SSD unless you are going for really low power (which I am)
[19:23] <netritious> If you have it use a SATA HDD although I'm not 100% it will matter. YMMV with IDE.
[19:24] <wrst> have sata just a very small one :)
[19:24] <wrst> this sounds fun
[19:24] <netritious> that should work fine
[19:25] <netritious> you'll know if it doesn't work right after install, and sometimes only then.
[19:26] <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
[19:28] <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
[19:29] <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 :)
[19:30] <netritious> *an additional physical machine to do all the routing/filtering
[19:30] <netritious> nah, it's pretty basic.
[19:31] <netritious> depends on the packages. not every package has the same ease of configuration
[19:36] <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.
[19:37] <netritious> took the 2GB DDR2 from one and filled the four slots in the other for a total of 4GB RAM.
[19:39] <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
[19:43] <netritious> but for a 2-3 NIC setup, if you already have the hardware, it's reasonable and cost effective.
[19:46] <netritious> nope, cost me <half two have a cold standby, more ram, more ports, and user serviceable
[19:46] <netritious> *to have
[19:50] <wrst> but the fun is in the building and tinkering when I get something to work I'm partially disappointed :)
[19:51] <netritious> and get bored so move on to something else... :)
[20:13] <wrst> ha ha yes :)
[20:18] <wrst> ohhhh parts just came... bye! :)
[23:52] <Omnifrog>  I hate lawnmowers
