Leighspped reacted to LinusTech in Tek Syndicate is Burning
This has clearly become completely derailed at this point. Sorry OP I'm going to have to lock it.
I'm busy and I don' t have time to PM everyone involved in this ridiculous network switch discussion, but grow up, you guys.
As for my comments on the Tek Syndicate thing, I haven't worked with Logan or anyone from his team since HighLANder, so I don't have any comments.

Leighspped reacted to jakkuh_t in 40Gbit Tutorial
Install the two cards in your system, ours sadly came with no PCI slot covers, however we don’t recommend using the cards without a bracket, so you might have to get creative.
For the purposes of this video, our setup will be a “Gaming-PC” and a “NAS-PC”
Boot up systems and head to windows device manager, and under “Network adapters” you should see “Mellanox ConnectX-2 IPoIB Adapter”
If you don’t see them now, you may after installing the drivers, if you still don’t, you may have a faulty card
Head to the Mellanox OFED for Windows page (http://www.mellanox.com/page/products_dyn?product_family=32&menu_section=34)
For the ConnectX-2 series the drivers are hidden under “Archive Versions”, so we didn’t immediately find anything, and the ConnectX-2 cards aren’t listed in the recommended versions, scaring me a bit.
Were going to install version 4.95 and then update to 5.10 which seemed to be the most reliable install
WinOF Download>Archive Versions>5.10>Windows Client>10
WinOF Download>Archive Versions>4.95>Windows Client>8.1
Install the 4.95 drivers and once done, immediately install with the 5.10 drivers
Now, technically our cards should have had their firmware updated with the driver install, but this didn’t seem to happen
We will need Mellanox Firmware Tools and the firmware file for our specific cards to update them
Download and Install MFT for Windows
Download the firmware file
In our case was for the MHQH19B-XTR
Open an elevated command prompt
Get your device name by running mst status
Format: mt<id>_pci_cr0
CD to the directory containing the firmware file
In our case was cd C:\User\6950X\Desktop\firmware
Run flint -d <Device Name> -i <Firmware File>.bin burn
In our case was flint -d mt26428_pci_cr0 -i fw-ConnectX2-rel-2_9_1000-MHQH19B-XTR_A1-A3.bin burn
Re run the version 5.10 driver installer choosing the “repair” option
Follow these steps on both machines
We now have functioning Infiniband NICs, but no subnet manager (which assigns an ID to the NICs, and creates a routing table based off of that)
I’m going to setup the subnet manager on our “NAS-PC” to keep any extra load off the “Gaming-PC”
Now, if you want, you can open up command prompt and run the OpenSM executable every time you turn on your PC, but that's way too much work.
Elevated Cmd>C:\Program Files\Mellanox\MLNX_VPI\IB\Tools\opensm.exe
So, with the magic of Windows services, we can make it start on login in the background!
Start by opening cmd as administrator (Right Click Windows Icon in Bottom Left>Command Prompt [Admin])
Enter sc create <SERVICE NAME> binPath= “<FILE PATH TO OPENSM> --service” start=auto
Replacing <SERVICE NAME> with your desired name, we chose OpenSM
And inputting the file path which in our case is
C:\Program Files\Mellanox\MLNX_VPI\IB\Tools\opensm.exe
Which equated to
sc create OpenSM binPath= “C:\Program Files\Mellanox\MLNX_VPI\IB\Tools\opensm.exe --service” start=auto
MAKE SURE, you have a space after the “binPath=”, and that you use quotation marks around your file path
Then just run sc start <SERVICE NAME>, which in our case is sc start OpenSM
To ensure the service is indeed working as it should
open Task Manager, go to Services
Find OpenSM and check that it’s status is Running
Now that we have a subnet manager, we need to assign each NIC an IP
We want our Infiniband cards to operate on a separate subnet from the rest of the devices on our LAN
Open cmd, run ipconfig
Look for your regular Ethernet adapter which in our case is Ethernet adapter Ethernet 3
Under that look for IPv4 Address which is listed as 192.168.0.20 for our host PC
Which means our regular network is running on 192.168.0.xxx
With that knowledge, I decided to assign our Infiniband NICs IP under 192.168.1.xxx which should prevent any conflicts
On each PC, search View Network Connections in the start menu
Right click on your Infiniband adapter which for us is Mellanox ConnectX-2 IPoIB Adapter
Properties>Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)>Properties
Click Use the following IP address
For our “Gaming-PC”, we are going to assign 192.168.1.21 as the IP
The subnet mask should autofill as 255.255.255.0
Last, set the Default gateway to the IP of the other PC, which we are going to set as 192.168.1.20
For our “NAS-PC”, the ip is set to 192.168.1.20
With a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
And a default gateway set to the IP of our host PC which in this case is 192.168.1.21
Should receive a “new network popup” asking if you’d like to enable network discovery, say yes on both machines.
To test that you do indeed have apc nam connection
Open cmd, and ping the opposite PC, which from our NAS-PC (192.168.1.20) would be ping 192.168.1.21
You’re probably thinking that you’ll need to unplug your ethernet cable every time you want to transfer files to your other PC over Infiniband right? WRONG.
To ensure your PC’s utilize Infiniband when doing transfers, we have to set the priority of the Network adapters, otherwise known as Metric
On each PC, search View Network Connections in the start menu
Right click on your Infiniband adapter, which for us is Mellanox ConnectX-2 IPoIB Adapter
Properties>Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)>Properties>Advanced
Deselect Automatic metric
Enter a higher number than your regular ethernet adapter, we are going to use 10
Right click on your regular ethernet adapter, which for us is Ethernet 3
Properties>Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)>Properties>Advanced
Deselect Automatic metric
Enter a higher number than your Infiniband adapter, we are going to use 20
You now have a 40Gbit link between your two PCs.
Click on your Infiniband Adapter and then click View status of this connection
Should show a speed of 32.0 Gbps
To test the full 40Gbit (which after 8/10 encoding shows as 32Gbit in our connection status), we needed an extremely fast storage medium
So we reached out to the folks over SoftPerfect who hooked us up with a copy of their RAM Disk software for our testing, if you a ton of extra RAM and want to use it for insanely fast storage, definitely check them out!
Using their software we were able to obtain around 7 gigabytes per second sequential read & write on each PC
From our NAS-PC, we shared the formated RAM disk over the network, and it showed up immediately on the other PC in the Network tab (if your PC has a password, you will need to enter it at this step, unless you are in a homegroup)
If you were planning on using this as a long term solution, I’d recommend mapping a network drive to this shared folder/disk

Leighspped reacted to LemonSpice in multi AP wireless network
I use ubiquity myself and it is very nice if Setup Correctly Ohterwise it can go to hell. Did you include the power over ethernet set for the ubiquity. Also how far away are these aps since they should all be on different channels also

Leighspped reacted to Scheer in multi AP wireless network
I use the basic 2.4 Unifi at my house, $65 on Amazon right now. One of them covers my small house perfect, and even gets out to my workshop which is about 100 feet from the AP through 5 walls. I only get 3mbps speeds that far out, but prior to this I had used an Almond+, TPLink N600, and a Linksys EA4500 and could not even see them out in the shop. Actually I couldn't even see those in the yard 10 feet outside the house...
I highly highly recommend Ubiquiti products now that I've seen them in action.
The company I work for has a ~15,000 sq ft building with two floors, and they recently swapped out all of their APs for two Unifi Pro's, one on the main level and one in the basement, the only reason they needed two was because it couldn't penetrate the thick concrete and steel ceiling of the basement. Had it been a typical wooden ceiling I bet one would have covered it fine.
I'd start with ordering just one and seeing what the coverage is like, and adding if necessary. Just set it on a counter near the center of the area you want to cover and use it for a day to see if it is sufficient.

@terrytek I heard about it, and for me it's just stupid. A car with 500bhp is already overpowered for daily use, so why 5000 FFS.
And I know the 5000 are "theoretical"

This is a thread about cars. If you are not into that then the door is on the right. 'tis also in off topic.
It's finally here. The long awaited and often discussed car thread.
Welcome to the Garage. Pull up a chair and have a cold beverage as we discuss cars
It's time to get this thing going! It's been talked about many times in various threads and it's time to git'r done
Rules:
Anyone that's interested in cars can join.
All you need to do is click the follow button.
Fanboying is looked down upon.
Car guys respect other car guys. If you are into Americana,Japanese cars or european cars or anything in between you are welcome
And respect other peoples opinion. I do not like the 2JZ. You might. And there is nothing wrong with that
Blatantly bashing any cars from a certain market. Be it american cars,Japanese cars or european cars. without basis is dumb. And should not be done in this thread.
This is mostly because it's tiresome to read through and can start an argument. Debate is fine. Arguments are just a waste of time.
Do not bash another guys car.
Because it's a dick move. And being a dick is against the CoC (harharhar)
Respectfully disagreeing is alright. Intentionally bashing something to bait people is not.
Word your opinions properly and bring up fair points or explain your problems with a certain thing clearly.
Can i talk about TRAINS!?
No WinNut. No you cannot. No
If you quote someone with a picture in their post. Snip the picture.
The car might be nice but we don't need to see it twice^^
Bae means shit. For the love of god.. stop
