@EricKaufman there are also tag-wiki's

@JohnP Real life must have caught up with him
Apr 30, 2015 07:04
its quite natural to have these questions
Apr 30, 2015 07:04
no worry if you don't really know what you're asking for
Apr 30, 2015 07:04
@JohnP You could always bring it up on Meta, which at least guarantees that more people will see it
Feb 6, 2015 14:18
and there are several good books about the topic
 

 The Bridge

General Arqade Chat. We tried to leave once, but the door lock...
Aug 20, 2015 08:30
you caught me red handed
Aug 20, 2015 08:28
Aug 20, 2015 08:26
you didn't notice a boatload of boats in Amsterdam?
Aug 20, 2015 08:26
or did you have to fly back already
Aug 20, 2015 08:26
you picked a nice day to come to Amsterdam though @badp, with SAIL and all
Aug 20, 2015 08:20
then imagine how much more civilized you would become if you moved to the Netherlands
Aug 20, 2015 08:19
the North of Italy is at least still somewhat civilized :)
Aug 20, 2015 08:18
and it wasn't in Rome :P
Aug 20, 2015 08:18
luckily it was late in the evening, so little traffic
Aug 20, 2015 08:18
I've had worse
Aug 20, 2015 08:08
@badp Well at least we found it eventually :)
 

 Root Access

For all you Super Users out there. You have backups, right?
May 19, 2015 10:28
so unless its sunlight, I wouldn't imagine it being an issue
May 19, 2015 10:28
@Bob and its standing on top of a table with nothing else blocking it or whatever
May 19, 2015 10:26
@Bob Then we'll just first try adding a switch and I'll keep an eye out next time things go haywire
May 19, 2015 10:25
@Bob but then how do you browse for pr0n :P
May 19, 2015 10:23
well, we still need one with more ports anyway, unless we put a switch behind it
May 19, 2015 10:22
I have zero faith in that piece of code :P
May 19, 2015 10:22
I reckon it doesn't try to clear old ones, so after a while it just overflows or something
May 19, 2015 10:19
364
May 19, 2015 10:17
I have access
May 19, 2015 10:13
on top of logging, being done very inefficiently
May 19, 2015 10:12
but I suspect one of my former colleagues wrote a shitty piece of code that makes our software try and connect to our server every second (or more), simply causing a lot of connections or something
May 19, 2015 10:11
will do
May 19, 2015 10:10
but the building's management regulates how much bandwidth we get
May 19, 2015 10:10
I think we're hooked up to fibre, but we're in a building with like 50+ startups and we're connected to the local backbone
May 19, 2015 10:09
@Bob I understand, but I can't reliably reproduce it, so I'll have to get back to you on that as soon as it occurs again
May 19, 2015 10:08
the router probably just locks up or something, so we no longer have an internet connection
May 19, 2015 10:07
I'd only dare to flash it if I have a replacement on hand :P
May 19, 2015 10:06
I think you might be right @Bob
May 19, 2015 10:05
v1
May 19, 2015 10:04
@Bob That may well be true ;)
May 19, 2015 10:03
I reckon that's why it was bought in the first place
May 19, 2015 10:02
I think there are about 10 computers actively using it
May 19, 2015 10:01
Possibly so, but I don't intend to flash it, I'd prefer to buy my way out of it
May 19, 2015 10:00
It tends to lose connection, requiring reboots
May 19, 2015 09:58
we now have a TP-LINk TL-WR1043ND which clearly can't handle it
May 19, 2015 09:56
there's probably more traffic internal
May 19, 2015 09:53
I won't need any fancy pants Cisco router/switch that costs like $1000+ but I fear a regular consumer model won't do either
May 19, 2015 09:53
but there's also a lot of internal traffic, though I don't have any exact numbers
May 19, 2015 09:52
and we only have a 10 Mbps connection at the moment, but should be getting ~40 soon
May 19, 2015 09:52
well our current router can't handle it, so we would prefer to just replace that one instead of putting a switch behind it
May 19, 2015 09:48
Any suggestions for a router with at least 6-8 ports that can handle quite a bit of traffic
