25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg (forget MikroTik for this)
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/07/05
Two interesting posts on fast network routing:
- [Wayback/Archive] 25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build – Michael Stapelberg
- [Wayback/Archive] How I configured and then promptly returned a MikroTik CCR2004 router for Fiber7 (2021) – Michael Stapelberg
… I also ran into weird DNS slow-downs, which I didn’t fully diagnose. In Wireshark, it looked like my machine sent 2 DNS queries but received only 1 DNS result, and then waited for a timeout.
… Since I last used MikroTik in 2014 the software seems to have barely changed. I wish they finally implemented some table-stakes features like DNS resolution for DHCP hostnames

Hopefully a newer and more reliable “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device will ever be released
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/05/30
For my link archive as this was a cool idea, but for many their device didn’t last that long:
[Wayback/Archive] ElectricRCAircraftGuy/eRCaGuy_ComputaPranksta_Support: Public support for my “Computa Pranksta” mouse jiggler device I sell on Amazon and elsewhere.
This device is a mouse jiggler. It keeps your computer awake. It can also be used to have some fun with your friends (please don’t take it too far–it’s meant to be used in good, friendly gest–not for any type of malicious purposes).
Notes:
- There are software based Mouse Jiggler implementations as well; I wrote about one of them a loooooong time ago in Mouse Jiggler – MouseJiggle.exe will (virtually) move your mouse cursor so the screen saver does not start.
- I have a bunch of “original” USB Mouse Jigglers of which there are compact and long ones. I forgot I had ordered the compact ones too, so I got reminded when I decommissioned the old kiosk machine after my mom passed away and had to lookup what a [Wayback/Archive] cru mj-3 – Google Search was (:
Links on those USB Mouse Jigglers below, but first some links on the Computa Pranksta:

Veel Streamdeck tips in het topic “Mountain brengt DisplayPad- en MacroPad-toetsenbordjes uit voor content creators”
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/29
Het grappige van sommige Tweakers.net artikelen is dat er dan ineens veel tips over een concurrerend product in staat (omdat de laatste over het algemeen op bepaalde vlakke beter is).
Zo ook met diverse handige Stream Deck (van Elgato) tips in commentaar onder het artikel [Wayback/Archive] Mountain brengt DisplayPad- en MacroPad-toetsenbordjes uit voor content creators – Computer – Nieuws – Tweakers.

Karoly Negyesi on Twitter: “Apparently some/many/most powered USB C hubs with Ethernet are causing serious problems when not connected to a computer. This is such an amazing interaction of various standards.”
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/04/05
TL;DR: for the foreseeable future, avoid USB C hubs with built-in Ethernet as they will bring down your local LAN when no PC is connected to the hub.

VoIP: passing on a phone number from one Fritz!Box to another Fritz!Box
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/03/11
Most Fritz!Box VoIP configurations have a phone number configured to only work on telephony devices (i.e. handsets) on the same Fritz!Box.
But it is possible to define a telephony device that itself is another VoIP end-point.
This way you can hook a second (or more) Fritz!Box up to the phone number(s) of the first Fritz!Box.
I am using this for two reasons:
- the second Fritz!Box was the primary one, but is not supported by your VoIP provider any more (this happened after a forced migration from xs4all to KPN: VoIP would not work no matter I tried: Many links about free modem/router choice and their configurations for the Dutch KPN internet/VoIP provider)
- you have a LAN2LAN VPN between multiple locations and want to use the same phone numbers from different LAN locations (beware of LAN2LAN error messages; see Reminder that the Fritz!Box IKE error 0x1C is still barely documented: crucial places like the built-in help page point to non-existing URLs)
Below is how to get this going, assuming the first Fritz!Box is a 7490 running firmware 7.29 and the second is a a 7360 with firmware 6.33 (other versions and firmware versions vary slightly).
But first the related post: Many links about free modem/router choice and their configurations for the Dutch KPN internet/VoIP provider where I figured out that just using a 7360 won’t cut it any more.

thuddevort on Twitter: “You can disable the extra confirmation under System > FRITZ!Box Users > Additional Confirmation”
Posted by jpluimers on 2024/02/16
My ISP did auto-update the Fritz!Box, but did not send release-notes, so I was not aware this feature had been added eons ago:
[Wayback/Archive] thuddevort on Twitter: “@jpluimers @wijnands @b0rk @xs4all You can disable the extra confirmation under System > FRITZ!Box Users > Additional Confirmation”.
I know a second factor is better for security, but doing that on both sites at the same time when setting up LAN2LAN VPN is tough (Fritz!Box names this either “LAN-LAN coupling” or “VPN Connections between the FRITZ!Box and Other Networks”.
A better feature at the same configuration page is instead of disabling, enabling to confirm using apps like Google Authenticator and Authy:

A while ago, I had to redo all of the existing Fritz!Box LAN2LAN VPN connections.
It was a pain for many reasons, reminding me of the pain
This is why it was so painful:
