I'm now finally using #netplan to #configure #networking #interfaces instead of the good old networking / #ifup and if command with parameters in #scripts. Different way, the same end result. #Ubuntu #Linux

Are you still using #IPv4 ? Time is running out. Time to use #IPv6 . Space is getting smaller, and it's already really hard to get "new" addresses.

Had a terrible time last night (on arrival in Amsterdam) getting online: like in Groningen wired internet didn't work, and aparently I'd never used Tine (new laptop) via wireless here yet, so that didn't work either. Neither did my new phone. Haha security, only 'registered' MACs can connect. Luckily my old phone connected to wifi without and grumbles so I could get into the router from there and change settings so the new phone and the laptop could connect as well. #phew! But now that the wired connection doesn't woRk in either Groningen (it suddenly stopped working there) -or- Amsterdam, suspicion falls on the USB-C to Ethernet adapter I'm using. So maybe I should get a new (or 'spare') one... #networking (Did I explain this month already that I hate hardware? #ihatehardware!)

150 Mbit/s 5 GHz #WiFi / #WLAN #throughput is 33 Mbit/s. And 72 Mbit/s 2.4 GHz WiFi/WLAN throughput is 55 Mbit/s. Grah! Grr, Groan! Kw: Mbps, MB/s, #speed, #wireless #networking, #sucks. Great technology again. Sigh! Someone claimed that 5GHz would be faster, but actual throughput is lower.

Oh, and this morning, after installing wicd yesterday and endlessly futzing around with settings both in wicd and on the modem/router, I *finally* managed to get (what looks like) a stable internet connection. Just so, you know, I can finally actually get to do some actual work done online. #networking :D

I've got an idea how to improve #VDSL2 #speed a lot. Service provider says that only VDSL2 connectivity is available. So we all know that VDSL2 speed sucks, especially with long or poor quality wires. There are two ways how VDSL2 speed can be radically improved.
1) Use #CAT6 cabling for VDSL2
2) Connect the VDSL2 modem directly to #VDSL #DSLAM with short < 2M CAT6 #cable and then use #Ethernet signaling from that point to the end destination.
After short testing found out that both solutions work well, and provide clearly superior speeds compared to #CAT3 #cabling. #internet #networking -
OK, one thing I'm sure of by now: my internet connection craps out when the connection is *idle*. Always from Tine, both i Groningen and Amsterdam 9that 3 different routers), and both for line connection and wifi - the behavior is always the same. I've now been streaming an internet radio station for over 2 days and it's been solid... That's a decent workaround but of course no solution - and besides, it takes up bandwidth which is noticeable when loading heavy web pages. :( I'm ducking but so far have not found any description even of this, let alone a fix. Maybe I should ditch NetworkManager and try wicd? #networking #troubleshooting #timeout !linux #ubuntu

Now that my internet connection is stable again (for now....) I actually got a whole lot done - very necessary, too: I need to do my VAT tax declaration, and without an internet connection I cannot even download the necessary invoices etc.... #tax #finance #networking Still more to do #tomorrow but I really have to catch up on more sleep now (to keep away another allergy attack!)

Struggled practically all day with #networking: two laptops, two providers, two modem/routers... laptops and connections seem to be fighting each other, and I'm sure there's a solution but I haven't found it yet. It's probably quite simple, even. And finding a way to stoer all data in KeePassX is complicated, too (partly because both modem/routers ahve such a different organisation of their data, and use different terminiology). Ugh. And I really need to get this sorted or I won't be able to set up a decent sync-and-backup system either. By now my brain is shutting down (at least the 'networking' part of my brain). I think I need a hot shower and an early sleep...
-
*sigh* on and off and on and off... maybe I should fiddle with DHCP on the router(s) but I have no time for that today. I need to finish work on one of my new trousers firster so I can wear a clean, new trousers. #networking @tobias

These two little devices give me considerably more leeway in connections: the Mouse antenna now sits on the (USB-2) minihub, leaving two more ports, while HEMA USB stick sits in one of the three USB-3 ports on the USB-C to Ethernet converter, leaving two extra USB-3 ports, as well as the (powered) USB-3 port directly on the laptop, allowing my Blue Ray drive still to be connected to Tine as well #networking #usb
-
\o/ Arrived in Amsterdam where to my great joy the mini USB2 hub, and the USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet converter were waiting for me, so not only am I online with Tine now, but considerably faster than via WiFi. #networking

Some searching revealed that - to my surprise - Bluetooth CAN indeed interfere with Wifi. One possible solution: move Wifi to the 5Ghz band - which I cannot execute right now since the modem/router new provider has set me up with doesn't support that. So if I want to listen to music over Bluetooth while working on the internet, i may have to buy a new modem/router. *sigh* #networking #bluetooth #wifi

!grrr - Support for IPv6 is still wide and far between. Most Dynamic DNS hosts I'm trying are either not supporting it at all, or depending on an external script - looking at a Perl script now that needs a module not on my laptop. Since I'll eventually need to run this on the NAS, that isn't very hopeful. There's still hope, but this is taking far too log and it's far too complicated to do something that by now *should* be simple! #ipv6 #perl #networking #dns

Best explanation of a "glue record" I've ever seen: https://wiki.gandi.net/en/glossary/glue-record Thanks Gandi.net! #networking #dn #glue

In Firefox this setting is called network.http.fast-fallback-to-IPv4 (was set to default boolean true). I set it to FALSE but that doesn't seem to change the test result :( #networking #IPv6 #firefox #fastfallback
-
After correcting that, and testing again, I get: "Your browser has real working IPv6 address - but is avoiding using it. We're concerned about this." Seems to be related to another setting, for "fast fallback" (Chrome/Chromium has this mechanism, too): test both connections, if IPv4 is faster, comntinue with that... #networking IPv6 #firefox #chrome #chromium #fastfallback
-
In case you're wondering why some things IPv6 don't work, here's a useful service: http://test-ipv6.com/ . Guess what: I found out that my Firefox was set to (default!) disable IPv6 DNS lookups - only direct-to-IP connections would work. I had no idea (and why on earth would that be the default - still)?? #networking #ipv6 #firefox

#hammock time! Again a lot of work today, no real progress - except to find that Linode's DNS actually doesn't support being set up as master in a master-slave relationship. So, maybe write a few more notes and start from scratch with another possible solution. Ugh. #networking #linode #dns

After a whole day of trials and getting advice on #linode IRC channel, HE still isn't able to "pull" a zone from Linode (or at least this one). Giving up (for now) on letting Hurrican Electric "pull" a slave zone for this domain. That also implies that if I manage to set up a cron job to maintain part of that domain with Dynamic DNS, those Dynamic records will not be pulled automatically by HE: I can set up a "backup" domain there, but keeping it in sync will be all manual. :( #networking #dns The only alternative I can think of is to run a private DNS and getting that to AXFR the domain - but I'll visit that later.
-
Waiting for the latest change @ Linode DNS to propagate so Hurricane Electric DNS is allowed to pull the zone to maintain a slave zone. (Thanks to good help on #linode IRC channel - I'd forgotten that you need to set up the zone so it gives permission to the specific 'slave' DNSs.) Again, it takes longer than expected so I'm just going to sleep and see what's what #tomorrow. Anyway, step 3 of the "Backup plan" almost finished. #networking
-
Yay! I managed to actually use the Linode API with a properly constructed URL to update the IP addresses (IPv4 *and* IPv6) matching my NAS. That's the core of setting this up as DNS - by putting the 2 requests in a script to be regularly executed by a cron job. #happy that's a major step forward today: it took negotiating a few hurdles, but I got where I wanted to be :D #networking #APIfun
-
Getting my head round (part of) the Linode API now. Not so hard, it's well-documented! This is fun, really. #networking #linode #api
