wallybeavis,

2007, excellent year! Also, I swear Cisco those older switches are will run forever (as long as you don’t reboot it too often 😂)

wallybeavis,

It’s an old joke, when a switch (or any electronics really) has 365+ day uptime rebooting could kill the power supply during its POST power supply test.

Realistically you shouldn’t have to worry about it, those are solid switches. I have a 3524 from 2001 that’s still running, it gets bounced about once a year when I bump the power cable while recabling. I also have a 2960G that’s on a UPS, and without logging in I couldn’t tell you the uptime

wallybeavis,

Do you remember if you could get to a rommon prompt? As long as console access is available you should’ve been able to upload replacement FW. I once had to use kermit or xmodem (I don’t recall) @2400 bps to recover an AP by transferring new FW over the console cable (I’m not sure new APs even have a console port), but switches should be recoverable…the things you do, when you want to go home and not spend another day on site 🤣

My only caution would be to ensure that you use the correct FW. IIRC -L means Lan Base not IP Services, but it should warn you that there isn’t enough space, if that’s the case

wallybeavis,

I use the uBlock Origin extension to block instances. If it’s available on your browser:

  • click the uBlock Origin icon next to the URL bar in your browser
  • click on the gears icon
  • Select the ‘My Filters’ tab

add this line (assuming you’re on lemmy.ml and hexbear.net is the instance you wish to block): lemmy.ml##.post-listing:has-text(@hexbear.net)

Please keep in mind, this is using a sledgehammer to swat a gnat. YMMV

wallybeavis,

I think you’re right, it measures 200x145x15mm with 2 PCIe slots at right angles connecting to the backplane. I’d had it taken apart for so long I hadn’t considered the height. I was also wrong about the model# it was an 1815, now that I look at the mobo. I guess I could re-purpose the case for something else. I appreciate the reply, looks like I’m going hunting for a similar form factor case this weekend

wallybeavis,

I was incorrect about the model#, it’s actually an 1815. I’d had it apart for so long I’d forgotten. I was going to try the resistor ‘fix,’ but too many people were reporting erractic behaviour after they’d done the same. I may re-purpose the case for something else as it seems only something like a Raspberry pi or one of the Adafruit boards would fit

wallybeavis,

I had no idea that existed, that’s a slick piece of HW. If I pull the case off I may be able to shoehorn it into the spot where the old mobo was. I could also just rip out the Synology backplane, add a sata expansion card, and make it a general purpose NAS, just with fewer disks.

My hope was to re-use the case to backup ~30TB of RAIDed storage. This is an excellent find, thank you!

wallybeavis,

I’m going to have to give the hair dryer trick a shot, I’d already migrated to a 1821, so I’m not sure if it’ll boot diskless…but getting a busted NAS to boot with a hairdryer, is too hilarious not to attempt 😂

wallybeavis,

I defintely will!

wallybeavis,

Someone will correct me, but I believe when the Mali gov’t took control of .ml they started revoking a bunch of domains. IIRC I saw a post stating that the datacenter hosting the .net was having issues, not sure if it was HW or ransomware related

wallybeavis,

I’ve seen posts where I had to assume OP/the commenter wasn’t a native English speaker, because of the sentence structure and odd choice of words. A multilingual platform such as lemmy, can sometimes leave you scratching your head. Since I don’t speak a 2nd or 3rd language I’m always in awe of polyglots. I always try to offer an olive branch by assuming the fault was mine, and I wasn’t clear enough in my wording.

however…

There are people (myself included) who will skim long form texts, rather than actually reading all of the words (thanks to every prof who’s ever assigned busy work or HW on a school holiday). I can only speak for myself when I say, once I’ve skimmed something, if I get to the end and it doesn’t add up, I go back and re-read it in its entirety. I have to imagine in a world of 6 billion people, there willl be some who don’t choose to re-read the text, and choose outrage…also some people just think it’s funny to be contrarian, there’s not much you can do about that, other than smile and move along.

Tomorrow you will wake up, the world will be full of promise, and maybe a satisfying breakfast, and you won’t even remember [email protected]…they, on the other hand will wake up, and still be them…

wallybeavis,

I’ve got you fam: c/osha

wallybeavis,

I do, at least once a year (nothing excessive), mainly because I use the website occasionally. It’s the same reason I bought ‘reddit coins’ or whatever that used to be. I just wanted to contribute to a useful service, especially given that there is so much garbage out there

wallybeavis,

Canon Connections: 2x07 - Those Old Scientists

• In the episode “No Small Parts” Ransom explains to Captain Freeman that he calls the 2260s the ”TOS Era” in honour of ”Those Old Scientists” like Spock and and Scotty. Of course, this episode takes place in 2259, so clearly it’s time for a shake-up among the SNW production team....

wallybeavis,

I agree! This was the first one of !USSBurritoTruck’s posts I’ve seen, and also one of my favorite episodes yet. I just read it over my lunch, and I think I will need to re-read it again when I get home - just in case I missed anything. Thank you !USSBurritoTruck!

wallybeavis,

According to Gorman, it is “not possible to implement technical controls preventing the use of personal email accounts for government business.”<

Why the heck would anyone be sending sensitive information from a personal account? I guess vendors sending docs to .mil addresses? I think we need more details. Humans are going to human, no technological answer can stop a human typo-ing a tld. Reminds me of this cartoon

wallybeavis,

So, is that gravel…just free? Like, can anyone just take it?

wallybeavis,

😂

wallybeavis,

I was heavily misquoting a scene from Ted 2 from memory 🙃

wallybeavis,

The Planet Crafter, they just put out their latest update. They’ve added additional blueprints and another way to get the blueprints

wallybeavis,

Lemmy link for those interested: https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

wallybeavis,

I know this is late, but I believe this will work https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected]

Basically you swap the URL around instead of kbin.social/m/baking, you change it to [email protected] and append to lemmy.world/c/
