This week Greg<\/a> and Tomas have a chat while recovering from their respective illnesses LOL.<\/p>\n

This cast we talk about:
\nNvidia acquires Mellanox<\/a>
\nMikrotik EU MUM 2019 New Hardware<\/a>
\nUbiquiti has 60GHz radios with 5GHz failover in beta – $130
\nFiberstore merged with an optic factory; SFP+SR $15, SFP+LR $21
\nWindstream in chapter 11, business as usual it seems
\nWISPAmerica next week
\n*Slack Updates*
\nDefault configs via netinstall on Mikrotik
\nVia Cox; Post v6.42 Mikrotik Hotspot creates hotspot server queue by default. This bricks user rate-limits. Miller suggest an on-login script that moves it to the bottom.
\nThrift noticed that the new CCRs have a fan between the redundant PSUs.
\nRob laments the fact that some Mikrotik switches have the top left port set as “port 2”
\nSteve says to watchout for fasttracking pure IPSec traffic “I’ve been burned in the past by it.”
\nNetwork statement in Cisco and Mikrotik says “Run OSPF on these interfaces”, it also happens to advertise those networks too.
\nFinding fiber crews; ask local municipality and colleges for recommendations.
\nBostjan summarized a lot of discussion on the dangers of wireless:
\n1) everybody I know was running around like theirs hair is on fire and screaming how all antennas are bad for you. We all are going to die. This seemed not logical to me so I tried to ignore it.
\n2) A guy who works for a carrier and installs antennas on towers for them said that antennas are dangerous. I couldn’t ignore that so I came here to educate myself.
\n3) This is what I’ve learned so far
\n-WISP is using 0.2 watt radios. Cell guys are using 20 watt radios. Broadcast (AM, FM, TV) are using 20,000 watts.
\n-There is no health risk unless you are sleeping on the Tower’s transmitter.
\n-if you are cold, go stand in front of the dish to warm up (is true, but don\u2019t do it)
\n-and there is this guy who makes other people nervous https:\/\/youtu.be\/ii82I1IzFRY?t=486
\n-some proteins in your body starts to changes it’s molecular structure from about 42\u00b0C. You’ll be dead before cooked
\n-one more thing, I think that antennas are dangerous; they can kill you if they fall from a tower on your head<\/p>\n
