Sounds unwinnable to me.

Naw, this guy wasn’t. Just another dipshit who is mad at everyone except the source of their problems. Which of course is them and only them.

Heh, We already live like this. Thanks to the few the majority have to suffer through this without any hope that the powers that be will do anything useful to curb this behavior.

This morning I took my usual route to work. Its not the most popular route taking five to ten minutes longer from day to day than the main route. Its a two lane road with three spots where the lane expands to two lanes. For the most part its stress free which is worth more to me than five or ten minutes a day of my time.

Today however I was honked at and flipped off for four miles because the type A(Asshole) was mad because when the extra lane ended he didn’t race to me in time to go around me. In this fools mind I had done him wrong by not pulling over to let him by. Four miles later the road expands in to a large two lane with a turn lane going both ways.

I blew him a kiss as he flipped me off when he went around.

Oh wait this isn’t the onion. Of course it isn’t. I wonder what his is. He doesn’t look bald at all.

I don’t remember the command but it was easy to find. There are a couple of ways to do it. I used a scheduled power shell script for the persons computer I did it for. They used it to avoid a annoying set of trackers that kept her from getting the lowest price on some equipment website. That was in 2020 or 2021.

Edit: I was mistaken about what generated ID I was talking about. You can however change GDID but it will force microsoft to reregister the installation so I don’t know how many times you could do it before microsoft refuses to do it again

Its doesn’t have a off switch but you can generate a new one.

Meh. I used to think it was bad to not feel bad about someones death. Used to.

I don’t think I’ve every given a status update. Unless telling people I’m playing a game with that I gotta go piss is a status update.

Fart to establish a perimeter.

I’m sorry OP. I knew a boilermaker that had your name tattooed on his ass. Every now and then he would bet some one who didn’t know him and then drop his pants and sure enough he had “Your Name” on his ass. One word to the cheek.

You keep trying to convince me that because someone can make a mistake there is no difference between the two. You are not a network guy or you would accept just because someone occasionally fat fingers a table entry on BGP it doesn’t brink a hard link down to the less reliable wireless links. Everything you have said is basically a amateurs view of it. I get it you like wireless and you don’t think that wireless link you have is connected to any routers that use a hard link or BGP. I’m done I said earlier I couldn’t convince you simply because you lack the experience to make such a statement.

My heart pumps piss for them.

Yeah I have a owl too. He wouldn’t be there is there wan’t something to eat.

Why wouldn’t I want my connection to be stable and reliable? I have a tunnel to work that is stable. I have ssh sessions that last until I restarted one side or the other.

You keep moving around from one useless point to another. I’m making a basic statement about your statement about how a wireless connection is just as reliable and better than a hard link. Its not and its pretty obvious that it isn’t. I don’t use spectrum. Never have. Don’t care if they don’t know how to manage BGP. I know or at least I knew back when I was using it for a year to balance out two small connections to keep the plant I was responsible for from getting congested. It would probably take a week or two to get back into the groove on it.

We took over half the households that ATandFee had in our service area in six years by doing it right. As bad as ATandFee’s management is the techs and plant engineers are top notch. I know some of them and they know how to make it all work. They also know the places where they have the most trouble is where they have to rely on microwave links. They know and I know. Anyone who has maintained a wireless infrastructure knows it. As a result of the great uncongested speed provided by that cable plant ATandFee finally started putting in fiber in the area. It isn’t oversubscribed and I know I’m getting what I’m paying for.

My router logs all these things because I have no trouble setting it up and maintaining it. Its trivial for me. I know they haven’t oversubscribed the line because I know how to test for it. I also know because of the throughput logs on my router. I know that my old ISP. The one that I ran the back end largely by myself for a decade learned not to oversubscribe. That when the QOS was just a little faster than they were paying for so all the speed tests went over the speed. I know because even though I went another direction after the buyout I maintained a professional relationship with them. I know the very next year after they took over they upgraded the whole plant by moving to node plus one and upgrading to docsis 3.1 All the subdivided areas upgraded expanded the return frequencies on the the HFC plant. I know just like I would know how stable and how much ingress there was on any wireless link I had. The two links I still have any dealings with have seen the ingress increase steadily over the past decade and there is no hope it is going to drop. I know because I’ve been a network guy since token ring was the thing.

Who cares that traders use shortwave for trading. I bet that is some legacy shit right there.

Under ideal conditions or any conditions a wireless connection can never equal a hard link. End of story. You keep trying to convince me what you said had merit when Its clear I don’t think it does. Unless you live in a dessert you are exposed to constant interference including congestion brought about by simply sharing that single link aka the wireless spectrum you operate at with everyone else nearby. Whereas If you have a fiber link back to the switch and the line isn’t oversold you wont have congestion problem on your last mile. The last mile of your connection is shared with everyone whereas mine currently isn’t being shared with anyone or more to the point I get what I pay for with little worry someone is gonna install a shitty appliance and start knocking my internet out.

Nope. I like it. I’m on the very edge of the town and it isn’t as bad as thh guy beside me in the county.

My back yard is overgrown really bad right now and the neighbor with the dogs has been doing his passive aggressive best to get me to act. I think I may find some goats.

Looking forward to it. The next two had their moments and that is most you can expect for farcical sequels.

Same can be said for anyone with a outside dog.

Let me tell you a little story about a 2008 Chevy truck. Around 2018 we had daily interference with our satellite receivers. It was a ongoing problem and we couldn’t find anything wrong. We changed out LNB’s and even the receivers. Ran temporary cable replacements on the ground. Finally someone noticed out outdoor wifi was going down at the same time as our other problems. We fired of a spectrum analyzer hooked to a tuned 5ghz dipole and nothing out of the ordinary. The next morning our CEO was calling cause fox news went out in the middle of his daily indoctrination and he was getting calls from his assholes buddies he golfed with were not getting their fix of manufactured outrage. We go to the headend and sure enough its out and the spectrum analyzer was showing a massive signal wider than the analyzer could display at once.

We of course were dealing with the problem and didn’t notice the twenty year old in one of our old trucks loading up what he needed to bury some drops that day. We also didn’t notice as soon as he drove off that everything started working again. After a few minutes of getting our ass chewed when the CEO called and wanted to know what we did and we had done nothing, our operations guy called the kid in the chevy back for something unrelated. As soon as he drove up everything went tits up again and it dawned on us all it was that truck. We switched him to a different vehicle and parked that one. After replacing a number of parts the problem went away on the truck.

It doesn’t matter if its the weather or if it exists in you corner of the world. It can be anything cratering your signal. I’ve seen old lighting ballast interfere and all manner of electrical appliances. I know you can’t be convinced because it hasn’t happened to you yet but wireless is a poor poor substitute for a hard link.
