| <riteo> | yea sewn just checked my steam is public |
| <sewn> | sendd |
| <riteo> | https://steamcommunity.com/id/riteo/ |
| <riteo> | :P |
| <kris_> | jitter is more or less just packet inconsistency |
| <riteo> | oh god is obamna |
| <kris_> | asking because i can hardly play on NA servers as is because my jitter bounces between 10-50ms constantly |
| <kris_> | you guys probably don't want to know how my network is set up lol |
| <sewn> | i do |
| <riteo> | folks what do I do omaba is looking for me |
| <sewn> | me |
| <kris_> | the fabled triple nat setup |
| <riteo> | no it's obama sewn |
| <sewn> | what is a nat |
| <riteo> | what an honour |
| <sewn> | no someone just called me obama once in a cs game |
| <sewn> | and i renamed it |
| <sewn> | and i kept it for about 3 yhears now |
| <kris_> | nat == network address translation |
| <riteo> | ik sewn I was kidding :P |
| <riteo> | it was very funny though |
| <sewn> | what does a nat do |
| <kris_> | funny little hack to compensate for ipv4 |
| <riteo> | sewn it makes your life miserable |
| <riteo> | I'm not joking |
| <kris_> | traffic hits your ip address, and then is translated to an internal one |
| <kris_> | i have three layers of this behavior |
| <riteo> | it breaks the end-to-end principle |
| <sewn> | oh |
| * kris_ | kinda likes NAT |
| <sewn> | wait so why do you need it kris |
| <kris_> | at least more than ipv6 |
| <riteo> | it makes direct ip connection hell if not straight up impossible |
| <riteo> | I'm sorry kris_ I will not allow you to have this opinion |
| <riteo> | NAT is wrong and must be burned down |
| <kris_> | i'm daisychaining "routers" at the moment because i'm compensating for lack of proper vlan support and shitty circumstances |
| <sewn> | what is vlan |
| <kris_> | virtual LAN |
| <sewn> | how is it different from regular lan |
| <riteo> | it's a weird way of partitioning networks without separate cables |
| <kris_> | it's fake |
| <riteo> | it makes lots of fake lans |
| <kris_> | i'm building a new router very shortly though so |
| <kris_> | and getting an actual managed switch and some APs |
| <riteo> | vlan is kinda ugly from what I've heard but it's something |
| <riteo> | yay |
| <kris_> | idk about ugly but it's "cleaner" than creating this separation with real hardware |
| <sewn> | you can build your own router??? |
| <kris_> | yeah routers are just computers |
| <sewn> | ive just used the one from my isp and it works i think |
