Me

Career

I am a network engineer and will not disclose specifics. I do a lot of LAN work and network architecture as opposed to the more usual help desk, service deployment, -or network maintenance.

I do intend to switch fields of work and do cloud or network engineering for a different company within the future.

Education

I currently am in college for cloud and network engineering. My current certs include A+, ITIL 4, and LPI 010. However, I have 3 CompTIA certs in my degree and plan on getting -my CCNA, terraforge associate, and AWS SAA-C03.

Experience

Well obviously Hugo, Caddy, vps management, Linux, git, HTML, CSS, and SSH. That is everything I needed to make this website.

However I do have a large list of skills and softwares, as well as a large base fundamental knowledge of how these tools work. I don’t care to list them all as it feels -pointless, however, you can see all of my (recent as of writing this) experiences I thought were notable on the blog page.

My equipment

Dell Optiplex 3060

Specs: Intel I5-8500 | 16GB DDR4 RAM | 250GB NVMe | +4x1GiB NIC

Current purpose: Running OPNsense in a ProxmoxVM. Firewall & router

Main home server

Specs: Ryzen 9-5900XT | 32GB DDR4 RAM | 2TB NVMe

Current purpose: Hypervisor is Proxmox. Hosts adguard home for DNS a presistent IRC client.

Personal PC

Specs: Ryzen 9-9800X3D | 64GB DDR5 RAM | 2TB NVMe | RTX 3080

Current purpose: Almost all of my personal computer needs, network management, SSH etc. I have Arch Linux with a lightly customized KDE Plasma & BTFRS subvolumes. I would -switch to ext4 but I tried something new when installing it and it surprisingly is stable so now I’m too lazy.

Thinkpad T14s gen3

Specs: Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U | 32GB DDR5 | 512GB NVME | 14" 1920x1200 | Debian 13.6 with Cinnamon DE.

Currnet purpose: My main personal work, travel, and leisure laptop. I’ve never had a laptop I cared about, trusted, or valued, and this is finally that. Also it starts into -tty mode as I don’t need a DE for a lot of things.

Laptop 2

Specs: Some 11th gen I7 | 4050 | 16gb DDR4 | 512GB NVMe | Debian 13.6 Cinnamon

Current purpose: Isolated windows laptop because my college requires it sometimes and I don’t dual boot or do VMs for windows.

Laptop 3

Specs: Im not entirely sure, I think 8th gen I5 & 8gb DDR4 ram + 512GB NVMe. Its a dell latitude 7480

Current purpose: Just a burner laptop I reinstall a new OS on every time I find I need a laptop for a specific purpose. Usually for travel because it was cheap and I don’t -mind if it gets broken

My ideology

I dislike the amount of politics in software development currently. People hating good things because of the person that made it. I entirely beleive you seperate the creation from the creator. That if someone does something bad you don’t make it worse by throwing away the good they have done. If you say “I don’t like X because it was -made by Y”, you’ve just stated you made your ability to objectively observe something benign in the pursuit of bias.

Welcome

I am one individual who bought a .org domain because thats silly. I wont introduce myself here because you can go to ‘About’ to see that.

This is where I post sometimes informative rants about network engineering, pc building, programming, and other similar things.

Slow VPS due to bad luck w BGP

+ +

+

The VPS

+

The VPS itself was a 10GB/s VPS with enough hardware to handle most of that throughput on a wireguard tunnel. The iperf3 test I ran outisde of the tunnel would show ~70-100mb of download. The YABS from VPS to multiple clearnet WAN test points would show correct speeds. My conclusion is it was probably bad luck with the BGP routing, one of the hops is probably just incredibly slow or dated equipment. Take this as a lesson that if you are going to subscribe to remote networking equipment to get 1 month first and test its performance against advertised or promised performance, then purchase the rest of the subscription time.

Data

Iperf3 without the tunnel averages to 14.6 Mbits/sec. As for the yabs;

OPNsense

Opinion

OPNsense is built on FreeBSD which has a broken network stack. The devs are great but I can’t recommend it. Use VyOS. -Also, having to configure 11 different areas in a website to set up a wireguard tunnel sucks compared to CLI where you just put wireguard.confin /etc/wireguard/ and run wg-quick up wireguard.

  • Enable above 4G decoding

  • Disable wait for F1 when errors This is really annoying, it will wait for you to press F1 if it detects an error, running it headless with no output at all will cause an error, making you have to plug -a keyboard into your server and press F1.
  • Disable secure boot or set to “other os”
  • Ensure secure boot allows UEFI USB boot

Installation

It will boot, and you literaly just answer your way through the setup prompts. Super easy.

    Trying to install Windows

    + +
    +
    +

    Installing windows from Linux

    +

    I attempted to install Windows on a new 512GB NVMe I bought so I can put Windows on it to play Tarkov. +Big mistake.

    +

    See it wants this driver to be able to sense the storage. The driver is the RAID or SATA driver from the manufactureres website. It has to be on the same drive as the installation media but if you dd the windows ISO onto the flash drive its read only. Using ventoy didn’t help either. The driver just didn’t work.

    +

    Giving up and installing windows from windows

    +

    Without using the Windows Media Installation tool you will have to install drivers from your motherboard manufacturers website. If they don’t work you’re screwed. I eventually gave up and used the installation tool on a windows laptop of mine. This worked fine OOB, didn’t even need the driver. It then proceeded to be a normal windows installation and take 2 hours. +Using rufus you can automatically configure some things like a local account. Running Shift + F10 in the installer will open the command prompt and you can then type oobe \\bypassnro, disconnect it from any internet, then restart. Then you can click “I don’t have internet” and you can make a local account.

    +

    CTT and other optimization tools

    +

    I used to use CTT aka irm christitus.com/win | iex. I notice after about 2 years a common pattern. When I used CTT on a machine it would often blue screen, when I didn’t it wouldn’t. Take that for what you will but optimization tools to make Windows go from 9.5GB of background RAM usage to 9.2GB at the cost of stability isn’t worth it to me.
