Why multicast enhancements cause wired devices to sometimes not see WiFi devices:
“Because when a wireless device roams, it will no longer receive multicasts on the new AP until the next time it subscribes.
Multicast enhancement blocks multicast traffic from being transmitted on APs with no multicast subscribers. (…) losing things like MDNS updates, in some cases for many minutes.”
Aiight #homelab partnas!!! Do any of you run HA DHCP services? Do we even care that much? I've heard the, " I run DHCP from my router so if that's down we are fucked anyways.. explanation! Yes!, what about those who don't run in them on their routers. Y'all the real ones!! I kid I kid 🤣
Damn #ipv6 you just keep coming back up in the #homelab!! Can we make a ipv5.5432 or something that I can wrap my head around this shit easier! It's the adkjlfa;dljfklad:adlkjfal;dkfja:a;lkdjlfkjfjd:123:1233435:3434:22123233 that throws me off. Then here comes them network heads be like.. You dummy the fuck wrong with you that's easy as shit to see.. It's the 3rd semicolon from the back.. you ass hat.. ummm what! 😐
Hello tech folks! This is perhaps a bit of an edge case for a residential setup, and maybe more along some commercial ones, but I am moving to a cabin in the woods. In these woods, there's a meadow of a few acres in which our cabin, a separate building that will be my wife's office, and a greenhouse are located. Due to the national forest networking, we have fantastic, symmetrical fiber optic internet service.
The "office" building is about 85 feet from the main cabin, just slightly above it, elevation wise. The greenhouse is about 125 feet away, and up maybe 40 feet in elevation.
I've twisted myself in knots trying to decide what outdoor unit to deploy at the main cabin. We already have a pole that currently has an old antenna, with coax coming off, doing nothing. I don't think it ever did anything down at the bottom of the valley it's in. I think that was a wishful thinking deployment by someone back in the day.
My thought, as a noob here, was something like a Ubiquiti U6 mesh with indoor APs in the indoor spaces. I'm running a Firewalla as a router, and would like to set up some VLANs.
Am I way off here thinking that a residential-type solution will work for me here? I just don't have the real world experience here to know if I'm researching the right path or not.
@BE the pole will definitely help squeeze out every last bit of range. I tend to overspec range, too, though it doesn't seem they've got a wifi 6 version of their max range outdoor AP.
📚 How the ARPANET Protocols Worked | Two-Bit History
「 The ARPANET protocols were, like our modern internet protocols, organized into layers.1 The protocols in the higher layers ran on top of the protocols in the lower layers. Today the TCP/IP suite has five layers (the Physical, Link, Network, Transport, and Application layers), but the ARPANET had only three layers—or possibly four, depending on how you count them 」

There are broader questions here about national capability and technological inter-dependence on other countries
But for me, it was another reminder of how much of our #infrastructure is hidden, unseen, yet able to shape our everyday lives. Surfacing hidden infrastructures helps us think critically about who's shaping those infrastructures, and for what purpose.
This past month, I was talking about how I spent $528 to buy a machine with enough guts to run more demanding AI models in Ollama. That is good and all but if you are not on that machine (or at least on the same network), it has limited utility. So, how do you use it if you are at a library or a friend’s house? I just discovered Tailscale. You install the Tailscale app on the server and all of your client devices and it creates an encrypted VPN connection between them. Each device on your “tailnet” has 4 addresses you can use to reference it:
Machine name: my-machine
FQDN: my-machine.tailnet.ts.net
IPv4: 100.X.Y.Z
IPv6: fd7a:115c:a1e0::53
If you remember Hamachi from back in the day, it is kind of the spiritual successor to that.
There is no need to poke holes in your firewall or expose your Ollama install to the public internet. There is even a client for iOS, so you can run it on your iPad. I am looking forward to playing around with it some more.
Conferences present a great opportunity to meet other professionals working in your field and lay the foundations for future collaborations. But what should you do if the idea of meeting new people puts you well out of your comfort zone? Check out this week's blog for insights from a conference aficionado!
