VLANs on Sodola managed switches
TL;DR There’s an aspect to the web user interface of Sodola switches that’s far from obvious, and not documented :/ When setting up trunk ports it’s necessary to select all the VLANs that will be carried, and the default is only to select VLAN 1. Background I’m starting to accumulate a small selection of things […]

April 2026
Pupdate It’s been mostly warm and dry, so plenty of opportunities for longer walks :) Milo is now on the final cycle of his 4th chemo protocol, and it’s proceeding OK. Toronto We started the month in Toronto, which was a really fun trip deserving it’s own post. Eyes My cataracts are gone, and I […]

March 2025
Pupdate March was reasonably dry (and even sunny sometimes), so the boys were able to get out for some nice long walks :) Milo also finished his third chemo protocol. I’m overdue a diary post about that, but the short version is that he’s doing well :) Skiing The month started with me skiing in […]

February 2025
Pupdate February was mostly cold and wet, so no particularly long walks for the boys :( FOSDEM The month started with my first trip to FOSDEM, and it was quite an experience seeing something like 8000 geeks descending on Université libre de Bruxelles. Day 1 was all about getting a feel for the event. So […]

GL.iNet MT-6000 Flint2 Review
TL;DR The Flint 2 seems to be a pretty awesome router. It was a little fiddly to set up my (quite complex) existing VLANs and wireless networks onto it, but it’s been working without a hitch since then :) Why? I’ve had a Draytek 2866ax router paired with an AP960C access point for about 18m[1]. […]

October 2024
Pupdate Autumn is definitely here, and it’s been wet enough that the boys have needed their coats some days. The good news at the start of the month is that Milo’s treatment is working, and he’s back in remission :) Travel The end of the month has been quite busy for travel. NYC One of […]

Background At home I have a bunch of SSH tunnels from a VM to my various virtual private servers in various places around the world, so I can direct my web traffic through those exit points when needed. I’ve written before about using autossh to do this. But when I’m travelling I don’t have my […]

Background A travel router has been part of my kitbag for many years, starting with a D-Link DWL-G730AP back in 2007. More recently I’ve been using a few GL.iNet GL-MT300N (v2), as they’re small and cheap enough to have in my work bag and my travel bag. I wasn’t particularly worried about speed, as I […]

January 2021
Pupdate He’s getting more used to the rhythms of life with us. There’s obviously a distinctive sound to my lock keyboard keystroke, as he’s up and stretching before I’ve had a chance to change my glasses. Speaker fix I was watching The Midnight Sky[1]. It has a bunch of scenes in a spaceship, with very […]

Using 1.1.1.1
TL;DR One of the best features of Cloudflare’s new 1.1.1.1 DNS service is the privacy provided by DNS over TLS, but some setup is required to make use of it. I put Unbound onto the OpenWRT routers I use as DNS servers for my home network so that I could use it. Background Yesterday Cloudflare […]
