Good morning!

Morning!

Eventually decided in favour of 27" 4K monitor. 32" was too large to work in front of and 34" ultrawide felt like more head spinning than I’d enjoy :D - https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27UK650-W-4k-uhd-led-monitor and although this LG costs half of Lenovo’s 4K/UW, it has much better picture quality.

Looks like a good monitor!

@chokheliIf 32" is too large maybe sit farer away 😈

Alternatively...

lol

dog owners: anybody is paranoid with loosing the puppy while "in the wild"? any tractive users?

sorry, should be off-topic-eu

We don’t let ours off the leash in the woods, too much energy. Working hard on impulse control, maybe one day

I was reading about that, training with long leash too. But I think i might go all in and also throw in a gps gadget for peace of mind. Our garden is also probably safe but it's hard to make sure it's 100% closed

I think it might also depend on breed. if it has high prey drive or not

Long leash is also great 👍 Might think of a GPS tracker, too, when we finally let her off leash, it’s a good idea

tractive seems quite good for a very decent price

Helped catching a runaway dog in the woods during a run, some weeks ago and just thought “I’d be devastated if it was mine”

we have a whippet, there's no catching him if doesn't want to

at least once an adult

I guess for almost any dog of regular size the same is true anyway

Our Dalmatian is way faster than we are, too. I’m pretty convinced that she would not run too far from us, she’s really well attached. But if she sees something moving, she will be off and might not realize where she is going

that's my fear too

@mpenet I thought the topic of this channel was off-topic stuff 🙂

I mean we can talk clojure if we want to...

it's mostly greetings 🙂

hi! btw

👋

well, otherwise the channel would appear empty

we take the dog to an off-leash area where h e is very excited to meet other dogs

you can test recall in that situation to build your confidence

the area is fenced

sounds great, I need to find some place like that

That’s great!

it's definitely a lot of work to build good recall and he isn't 100% yet

damn, you made me reply in a thread 😆

Well, I had to sit about 2 meters away :D

tractive looks good, I actually like the activity part more than the tracking tbh ... it's not always easy to gauge that

yeah, fitbit for dogs 🙂

I was surprised by the pricing, it's actually quite cheap

I mean the subscription, given it has edge

yes ... way down from most that you see

or 4g or whatever they use

My wife bought an activity tracker for our dog, but it was a piece of crap, stopped using it immediately

so it's 50 euros + 4 euros per month

yes

you can have some extra insurance thing if you break/loose it too I think

but it just adds on the base price

On Amazon some people complain about battery life, though?

I wonder if they have an api

I guess the battery is counted in days, so even if you end up with half of what they claim i'd say it's usable

5days iirc

but it's difficult to say without having experience

they also have a larger battery: https://tractive.com/fr/pd/spare-battery-plus

greetings are good imho - they keep the channel 'alive' for when people want to talk about actual clojurey stuff

👍

I went for a 34" & now my head is spinning…

Evening everybody

No dogs here, only cats 🙂

Anyone got any recommendations for a mesh network for home? Our router isn’t strong enough to reach across our whole house. Looking for something easy to set up, with nodes that are not too ugly 🙂 There’s cable going from the bottom floor to the top, which would make for a much stronger link than the intermittently failing wifi signal between the floors, so the nodes need to be able to do cabled connections, too.

I have a AVM FritzBox with Mesh repeaters. They work okayish

A friend of mine had the same issue

I recommended a UDM

With that, you can then add on extra APs

He likes the UDM a lot

<https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-routing-switching/products/unifi-dream-machine>

I too use Unifi products, I have to APs that are "meshed"

with the controller software running on a VM (the UDM has the controller software already running on it)

2 of these <https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-access-points/products/unifi-ac-pro>

I live in a 3 story, so one downstairs, one upstairs. Seems to work grand.

.

Thanks, I’ll have a look 🙂

Looks great for tinkering. I think it does more than I need, but maybe I’ll discover that I can’t live without those features later on 🙂

Thanks!

When you say “meshed”, do you mean that those AP’s are separate networks that you need to log onto and switch between?

I’m specifically looking for something that acts as a single network.

a single network

With the unifi, you can create multiple networks

2ghz/5ghz whatever

At home I have one network that is both 2ghz and 5ghz

clients connect as they see fit to which works for them

It's very configurable.

That’s pretty standard, isn’t it? Not to put the unifi down. But I’ve had 2/5 for years on different routers.

Sure, but you were asking if it could act as a single network.

From the article you linked to, I think you are definitely right! Sounds very configurable.

Why would it work differently, if it's pretty standard!

@dharrigan sorry, didn’t know how to express that properly. Maybe it was offensive :l

What I like about unifi is that I get lots of stats out of it and I can create hotspot networks that are vlan isolated off that have access control (i.e., vouchers, etc..)

I’m not very good at networks (yet) 😄

It's okay 🙂

I can also highly recommend opnsense as a router/firewall.

Yeah I read about that, sounds interesting! Not sure if I need it, but it’d be fun to tinker with. And, with more and more IOT, maybe it makes sense to get more control.

vlans I mean

I run my crypto stuff on a vlan

zero access to my home lan

I can ssh, it cannot see anything out 🙂

Awesome.

I’ve been concerned about our security, we’ve got a media server which has internet access and no particular security in front of it :l

And it has network sharing properties, which I see as gaping security holes.

I mean, it’s nothing serious if it were hacked somehow, but why leave any holes.

I would recommend running wireguard/zerotier and put your media serfver on it

turn off external access

but allow your zerotier/wireguard network access to the media server

then no matter where you go, you can access the media server.

I use plex myself 🙂

I’ve considered Plex, but turned it down due to the security issues… And actually, idk if we really need it. We mostly just watch stuff straight off the tv screen.

Security issues?

Well, the unknown unknowns. My lack of knowledge and confidence in our security 🙂

I’m afraid to open even more up by letting our server be accessible via the internet, as I guess most people do with plex.

Everything has security issues. I've ben using plex for years without issue

I would really recommend running your own VPN, i.e., wireguard/zerotier.

Put what you want on those interfaces

Yeah I know. I can’t live inside a safe.

Then your router won't allow anything in

I’m going to take a look at wireguard and zerotier 🙂 Thanks!

np

Shout up if you need help 🙂

And the UDM looks very nice. This kind of stuff is exactly what I was looking for, advice “around” what I’m looking for. Mesh is what I need, but improved network control on top could be a lovely upgrade.

So thanks, I will 😄

I'm sure you can youtube it for some reviews 🙂

Already tubin’ 😄
