I mean hey, that's exactly what I did at my work for my home connection and it's turned out fine.
OK sorry I've been at work. I was wondering about what the responses would be considering I didn't explain the situation too well.
So, we have our own intranet set up at the radio club in the school's union, including our own APs, routers, and switches. This lets us link our repeaters and radio infrastructure without having to go through the IT department every time we need to get new equipment setup. This is all OK'd by our IT department. Hell, one of the main network admins is a member of the club. Anyway, they've made it clear they really don't care what we do with our network as long as it doesn't start causing problems on their end.
Highlights of our escapades include:
- A hidden SSID network setup for our club members
- Our own webserver running our club website and sql server
- Bouncing a 24ghz link off of a building a mile away in downtown and creating a link that way.
So nobody at the club, me included, is concerned about any repercussions from this. Our club is the oldest one at the school (hell, we invented radio here) so in some aspects we've got quite a bit of freedom.
Anyway, that's the full explanation.

That was in highschool. At college I'm not, but like I said above I'm good friends with a few of the head guys and they don't really care.
[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]
There's a lot of unofficial stuff on the campus network here that they know about and ignore.
that scares me more than you putting random point to point repeaters on their network not gonna lie
I guess you gotta realize that a lot of the IT people here are students themselves. We've got a huge CNIT program here and a lot of them have part time jobs as system admins for IT.
I'm not going to complain about how they manage their network when I can get nearly 1gbit/s download and upload speeds from anywhere on campus.
Not sure why you even ask when you don't plan on accepting a "no" :v:
My college got us to sign a usage policy for the IT system they had there and one of the things they did reserve the right to was to completely ban you from it if they deemed what you were doing to be inappropriate, and they did not appear to give a shit if you actually needed to use it or not. They could ban IT students with zero consideration for the work they needed to do. Be very careful what you do.
just because everyone does it
doesn't mean you should (or that it's okay)
if you've got a health center on campus, you could in theory be sorta violating hipaa

you meaning the people who decided a shadow network was a good idea

Oh and I discovered [URL="http://www.balticnetworks.com/mikrotik-hap-ac-gigabit-dual-band-indoor-access-point-built-in-antennas-us.html"]this mikrotik[/URL] today. I think they've finally reached the point I can recommend it for powerusers/small businesses as their sole device assuming they don't need huge wifi coverage.
I find myself having to take the case off of USB drives and wrapping it in electrical tape too often
I get all my USBs kind of hand me down but they always have a huge case profile.

guys I've got a bit of a problem
It's been about a week since I last logged in to my digital ocean webserver, and now I can't ssh to it from any machine on my network. however, I can ssh to my local file server in my network just fine, and machines outside my network can ssh in to the remote webserver fine as well.
I thought maybe a firewall rule got added by some mistake, but there are no firewall rules on my router. I tried ssh directly from the router CLI and it just hangs as well. I can still log in to the server through digital ocean's console, and I can even ssh into it from itself using 'ssh localhost' so everything's fine on that side.
I think the only thing that leaves is that something outside my network is now suddenly blocking port 22. Windows firewall isn't blocking anything; my router firewall isn't blocking anything, but nothing can get through on port 22.
I need help. This is way over my head and I need to be able to transfer some files to my server.
What happens when you try to telnet to port 22 on the server?
[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]
Or SSH to anything else?

that IP would be easy to get anyway so I don't care if people see it

My nas inside my network can be ssh'ed into no problem. I've tried a few other servers outside my network and all of them time out.
[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]
Obviously something on my side is blocking port 22 for whatever reason. I've changed nothing in the router/firewall config for a good month now.
[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]
Yep, I can easily ssh into anything on the local network with no issues. Anything outside just times out.
[editline]26th July 2016[/editline]
okay, somehow the [I]modem[/I] had port filtering enabled for every port other than 80. that's really weird.
Apparently pressing and holding the F5 button when on the desktop will make DisplayLinkManager (the USB 3 dock software I am using) use up a lot of CPU the longer I hold F5 for whatever reason. Eventual space heater button?
Logitech G502 has a very large scroll wheel.
Neat how the macros still work without drivers unlike the Lachesis despite those being stored on the device too.
I'm going to be in California for work next month, probably lots of overtime, so come September I'll have a pretty decent chunk of change. I can't decide whether to buy a new phone, probably a note 7, or upgrade my computer. I could probably sell my current desktop, but I have no idea what its worth, or if its worth anything.
If I do upgrade, I'd like a 1070 or 1080. Might go 4k too.
[editline]27th July 2016[/editline]
Maybe I'll wait till October when I get paid three times.....and you know what I'll wait till black Friday.
Shhh

I'll sell the mobo and include this free processor
[editline]27th July 2016[/editline]
Also, it would be a local sale, no way am I parting that shit out on eBay. I have a buddy who wants to get into PC gaming, but I've got no idea what a build from 2011 would be worth. :v:

Profiles saved on mice is the best thing ever, especially when the mouse has a bunch of buttons and you've mapped a bunch of stuff to it for a specific game or program.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50782291]iirc aren't you running a Intel Confidential CPU? Can't REALLY sell that.[/QUOTE]
Yes you can, Intel doesn't actually care, as long as it's not something unreleased.
Its an old as shit(still going strong) nehelem i7-965. I don't feel like I need to upgrade, but it wouldn't hurt I'm sure.
[editline]27th July 2016[/editline]
My mobo is an evga x58 and does have a dead USB port and no back plate. It didn't come with one when I got it, and someone threw out the replacement I did buy...like the day I got it. e.e
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;50782441]I thought it was still their property regardless if it was released or not.
Didn't even know just always assumed that you couldn't.
Thanks for the correction.[/QUOTE]
Technically, but if it's already beyond the original company it was sent to, Intel doesn't really care as long as it's not an unreleased product. You can find them pop up on ebay and shit all the time, Hell one of my 9140N's is an engineering sample from NASA Columbia.

*uses an rdp.exe that's 3 versions old to remote into home desktop and get around internet filters*
[editline]27th July 2016[/editline]
We had local executable blacklists (don't remember what program they used), and IT would add the hash of the rdp.exe we were using to the list
So we'd just go back one version :v:

Updating to a mini ITX board/case is fucking wild. I [I]feel[/I] like my computer is less powerful even though it's slightly MORE powerful than it was before, because it's less than half the size.
smaller is better imo
[QUOTE=Warship;50784978]smaller is better imo[/QUOTE]
It definitely is. It just feels wrong.
I'm sure I'll get over it. I made it smaller for the purpose of College, and with its water cooling it's effectively 100% silent when the case is all closed up.... It's kind of crazy, to be honest. It's missing all the markers of a "powerful" computer but it's still extremely good.
One thing that also kind of makes a computer "feel" more powerful is a higher resolution screen, at least for me.
I guess it's because I associate low resolutions with netbooks and budget laptops.
