13 year old was asking for book recommendations. I'm torn between recommending the Thrawn trilogy and protecting her from the heartbreak of knowing how good episodes 7-9 could have been.
The one(s) by Timothy Zahn? So much better than what's on the boob tube.

Comcast in Western Pa looks to be flaky if not upright down.
I'm on hold due to higher than normal call volume.
My feed out of Eastern Ohio is up and appears fine.
My feed out of Western Pa is bupkiss.Where are you? Ours is fine and has been really reliable for the past 3.5 years. I'm over by Indiana.
reliable? 3.5 years?
count yourself among the,... jeeeze I don't know... Executive few ...
we see Crapcast go down in Atl nearly ever week...
I've had it go down twice in 3.5 years. Once because someone hit a pole down the road. The second they had to replace something on the pole outside of our house. We only have internet so everything relies on it. So we notice when it doesn't work.
I would say that is very reliable.. 1000times more reliable that I have seen our client in just four months. The difference is more than that of Night and Day.. Count yourself among the very upper elite few.
I don't ever use their gear. I have my own modem and my own equipment behind it.
I have thought about getting our own modem.... this and recent issues aren't related to gear.
These were pure service related.
I hit a couple of sites. All services are restored.
BTW, don't call for support on the 4th. On hold for 2 hour and 37 minutes before they dropped my call.
Most days, the service is fine. Just frustrating when it's skeleton crew day.
Also, Comcast closed the New Castle business office. I believe that they still have a garage. We have to go to Darlington for a business office. About 40 minutes.
At the office. I power cycled the gear. Internet came back. Voice is still down.

@storageninja said in Ubiquiti WiFi vs... everyone:
Sure:
The vendor itself doesn't provide phone support. I was talking to an Aruba sales guy last week on the plane and he was laughing about this when I mentioned I was using it at my house now. That's a non-starter for a lot of people (yes their forums are fine and I get why they do it as it causes support case deflection).
Cisco Clean Air, and the like can operate better in some crazy RF hostile environments.
Security integration like NAC with dynamic VLAN. In compliance shops, or people who care about edge security this is a thing. Other SDN integration might matter to some.
Opaque finances. SEC investigations in Feb, long term lack of a CFO. Really bizarre stuff for a public company. There is a crazy short squeeze going on right now something's going to blow. Networks are labor and capital intensive with little return on investment if you have to rip and replace.
I'm guessing that you're talking about Ubiquity in your point list.
I'm looking at two quotes for Ubiquity and Aruba side by side and there's a difference between the quotes of over $800 per device. Hell, even the POE injector from Aruba is more than 3 times higher than the one from Ubiquity.
Am I missing something obvious?
All of our sites came back about an hour ago
I love it. I'm getting users asking if they need to do something to get the wireless fixed.
Not their fault
Someone broke something big.
No go Vroom
I just lost our PRI as well..... Comcast
Support described it as a 'wide area issue'.
Happy Friday folks
Western Pa. -- Spectrum sites are down as of around 12:30 EST. One Windstream site as well. Although I'm not sure that they don't use the buddy system for outages.
The card reader through to the processor is -- according to the vendor -- end to end encryption. If I setup an AP, turn off broadcast, turn up encryption, other than radios that I don't know about, what else is there?
Maybe that's my question.
IPMI stuff
I couldn't get ILO logged in no matter what I tried.
I was going to put XCP-ng on the server anyway. Installed XCP-ng, ssh'd in and tried this guy's tip.
Wallah! Reset the ILO password. Logged in.
Little tidbits are the best tidbits.
AP sounds good.
In this scenario, we don't fall under PCI. Sort of a tangential situation. Knowing how government & regulators work, I'm guessing that there will attempts in the future to umbrella our sites in somehow. I don't mind, I just want to prepare now with a little research and buy the right stuff right off the bat.
Aw. crap. I have a site down. Remote won't work. Printer issue. It's windshield time.
I'll check back.
You guys rock.
Access points will work fine. I'm doing discovery. Is there an application that requires that I use point to point vs APs that I lock down? Reminder: I may end up confronted with PCI issues down the road. For now, we'll be processing privately issued cards. If we move to fleet cards issued nationally, then I want to be thorough before we settle on a solution. I will never get a second chance correct without a lot of grief.
BTW, this is for a convenience store that has a 'captive' island for diesel sales to privately issued card holders.
Has anyone dealt with Ubiquity or similar with regard to point to point radios for payment card processing?
We are going to check on radios in lieu of trenching, conduit & wire. It has to be secure and documented as such. We would have to be able to pass a PCI audit if it comes down to it, although we don't believe it will come to that. We're still in discovery mode.
In any case, I have a vendor that says that he has a Ubiquity rep that has sold these in the past for warehousing and golf courses for process payment card processing.
If anyone knows of a usage case that I can pull up or even model #s, that would be gold.
The longest run that I need is no more than 100'. If I tag cameras on this, I'd need to be able to have separate networks. Maybe even point to point or point to multi-point for a radio network for each separate network. Dunno.
TIA
You could try DISM from the command line
I just build a CentOS 7 VM to play with.
Looks like I should park it for a bit and crank up a Fedora install?
