00:56:37 <MrMobodies> ooops
00:57:05 <MrMobodies> ASUS RT-AC57U v1 turned up today
00:57:09 <MrMobodies> with Openwrt on it
00:57:27 <MrMobodies> surprised to find out that I can even change the MAC addresses on the controllers and switch ports
00:58:10 <MrMobodies> Which standard OEM router software will allow me to do that I wonder.
00:58:50 <MrMobodies> the fact I could just open a page and either turn the wireless radios or the stations off EASLY
00:59:00 <MrMobodies> That's why I like Openwrt for that reason
00:59:23 <MrMobodies> and seems I can create as many SSID's as I like too
00:59:47 <MrMobodies> whereas others that do only seem to only allow 4 or 8
01:02:58 <MrMobodies> It seems it has two network adaptors, one very configurable switch port (on ETHO) and one WAN (on ETH1) which I'll use for the Vlans to route the SSID's to VLAN networks on the Pfsense.
01:03:13 <MrMobodies> Anyway here use Openwrt?

02:40:30 <MrMobodies> Hate it just hate it, hate it when an answer to what something is or does uses the SAME as the answer.
02:40:41 <MrMobodies> https://forum.openwrt.org/t/what-is-masquerading-and-do-i-need-to-use-it-in-the-lan-wan-firewall-config/102113
02:40:42 <EEVBot> [url] What is Masquerading and do I need to use it in the LAN -> WAN Firewall config? - Network and Wireless Configuration - OpenWrt Forum | forum.openwrt.org
02:40:56 <MrMobodies> "Masquerading is the technology that translate/*masquerade*"
02:42:05 <MrMobodies> iF I don't understand a word or a word used in a context it is useless using that same word, whether it is used as a verb to help understand.
02:42:57 <MrMobodies> "What is Masquerading, oh it Masquerades your lan..."
02:43:50 <MrMobodies> and the word "technology" used in there I find is unnecessary like the user is too stupid to understand.
02:44:02 <MrMobodies> and not expected to understand
02:46:30 <MrMobodies> I see, so it is to allow NAT on the WAN side or interface.
02:48:06 <MrMobodies> What do you think of that? Is that them making things longer and difficult to understand.
03:11:35 <MrMobodies> Disappointed, set up a port just for administration (with dhcp) but OPENWRT webserver on that interface is reachable from the LAN despite setting a rule to drop traffic.
03:19:20 <MrMobodies> Just found out it is not routing across to the other network, it is just the Openwrt webserver
03:36:29 <arch> no masturbating in the lan
03:43:27 <MrMobodies> One downside of Openwrt and seems a short sided one out of everything else
03:43:52 <MrMobodies> WEB UI LIstens to all
03:43:55 <MrMobodies> no setting
03:44:28 <MrMobodies> seems to be ignord by the firewall despite setting it to drop traffic to itse'f
03:44:46 <MrMobodies> no file browser like pfsense to go in and easy set it (httpd) to bind to
03:45:03 <MrMobodies> they expect you to PISS and FART arond with an SSH terminal.
03:45:42 <MrMobodies> just to edit files, something that should be done easily on a platform like that without no dependency on things
03:46:15 <MrMobodies> or even provide the terminal within with nano
03:50:55 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
03:52:27 <MrMobodies> Going to look at this later see if there are any packages for text editor and i want to have a play with SNMP which also seems optional.

03:55:00 <Nothing\> hello chief! Let's talk why not!
03:57:31 <Nothing\> jeez i bought 20 games on steam in the last 2 or 3 months i think
04:17:05 <rc-garage> Nothing\, I prefer burmese
04:17:12 <rc-garage> သွေးသွင်းဖို့ လိုအပ်တဲ့ ကောင်လေးတစ်ယောက်ကို ကျွန်တော် တစ်ခါက သိခဲ့ဖူးတယ်။ ဒါပေမယ့် သူက သွေးကို မကြိုက်ဘူး။ ဒါကြောင့် သူတို့က သူ့ကို ပန်းသီးဖျော်ရည် တိုက်လိုက်တော

04:17:48 <Nothing\> heyo rusty
04:17:57 <rc-garage> yo hey
04:17:57 <Nothing\> howsit?
04:18:07 <rc-garage> eh, could be better
04:18:12 <rc-garage> could be worse also
04:18:22 <rc-garage> getting ready to go to bed
04:18:24 <K> do be do be do?
04:19:05 <rc-garage> Znal jsem kdysi chlapce, který potřeboval krevní transfuzi. Ale neměl rád krev. Tak mu dali jablečný džus a na podzim zbledl, spadl ze stromu a zemřel.
04:19:35 <rc-garage> Es reiz pazinu zēnu, kuram bija nepieciešama asins pārliešana. Bet viņam nepatika asinis. Tāpēc viņam iedeva ābolu sulu, un rudenī viņš kļuva bāls, nokrita no koka un nomira.
04:20:41 <Nothing\> what language is tha?
04:20:52 <Nothing\> it's very unique
04:22:16 <rc-garage> which one?
04:22:31 <Nothing\> both, apparently
04:22:32 <rc-garage> the first is burmese. I like it, because it is so round
04:22:55 <rc-garage> the second is czech, third is latvian
04:23:38 <rc-garage> I think
04:25:33 <K> is that a norwegian joke?
04:25:59 <K> i like it.
04:26:25 <rc-garage> no, it is something one canadian likes to say
04:26:53 <K> i see.
04:48:04 <MrMobodies> Steve30, search results the headlines of Utilita Week (paid/authwll) I see this "Surge pricing for water ‘legitimate way to change customer behaviour’"
04:48:10 <MrMobodies> oops scroll stuck
04:48:43 <MrMobodies> I know many people, who already feel they are paying a lot and say to me they are using less and less water.
04:49:10 <MrMobodies> not taking baths anymore and taking quick showers
04:49:57 <MrMobodies> Basically hellbent on using as less water as they can on their measured billing. Do you think that maybe out of touch?
05:31:44 <Nothing\> so i've got a few am antennas i pulled outta radios
05:32:13 <Nothing\> wondering how i can make at least a receiver hard-tuned to a local station
05:33:16 <Nothing\> the antenna has 2 pairs of wires so i'm assuming one pair is for the output and the other pair is for a capacitor to make a tank circuit. but i'm completely guessing on this before i actually look it up
05:34:20 <Nothing\> or perhaps instead of a capacitor, the rest of the circuit, as well

12:12:15 <MrMobodies> and another heatwave soon in September
12:12:44 <MrMobodies> Doesn't seem to be very stable weather
14:07:40 <MrMobodies> Found a file manager and editor combined for OpenWRT luci
14:07:46 <MrMobodies> Looking at the github pae
14:08:11 <MrMobodies> some Overzealous Inconsiderates on there demanding that there MUST NOT BE ANY TEXT editor
14:08:20 <MrMobodies> https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/7300
14:08:21 <EEVBot> [GitHub] [openwrt/luci #7300] closed PR by rdmitry0911, created 1 year, 10 months ago: luci-app-filemanager: initial checkin | Thank you for your contribution to the luci repository. […]
14:09:04 <MrMobodies> This bit: "2. Hex Editor is definitely not needed."
14:09:04 <MrMobodies> "It is easy to remove it, however, I'd leave it here as I believe there are some users who would appreciate this functionality"
14:11:18 <MrMobodies> Not needed? how stupid is that? I thought that was the whole idea of the OpenWRT LUCI UI to make things easy and convenient to get to. Might as well not bother with the UI and turn it into a command line based control.
14:16:54 <MrMobodies> "stokito: When last time you used HEX editor? Do you think a typical user will edit some binaries?" What a ROTTEN attitude blowing it out ot porportion when there are settings not available on the UI.
14:17:53 <MrMobodies> SO he thinks the users of Openwrt are somewhat stupid and will never ever use a text editor to change things nevermind the SSH and should be denied this convenience.
14:33:55 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/0PwnvWH4/Luci-Texteditor.jpg
14:34:22 <MrMobodies> Well very pleased I could get to that easily without having to do a whole load of things.
14:36:25 <MrMobodies> and even if it had a luci console with a console editor but it doesn't seem t
