Granny was hardcore. If you didn't eat what she made, you didn't eat. That opens up the palate at a young age 😂
It's ok. I know it's scary the next day in the bathroom but it's totally safe, I swear.
So delicious. It's a good flavour combo, peanuts, salt & vinegar. You see it often in Asian cuisine. Thai peanut sauces 🤤
Don't tell her about my love for peanut butter & dill pickle sandwiches.
I thought it wasn't necessary either honestly 😂 The boss wanted it though.
It was on site at a 300m tower, in a leased room for our equipment. There was a lot of other things at that location too, terrestrial TV & Radio broadcast, other microwave links, cellular stuff as well, even some ham stuff I believe. The boss had 20 years experience though, and it was replicating the setup from our initial location which had a similar set of conditions. I'm sure he had his reasons.
💯
And that was with fairly narrow directional antennas. With an omni it gets even messier.
Possibly, but sometimes reflection isn't your friend. I remember having issues shooting 5ghz links between sheet metal buildings and having to turn the signal way down, or echoes started causing interference.
The server room was at a location that was our central hub, sending out from there to links in rural areas. We had a lot of 5ghz unlicensed stuff, and some licensed dragonwave stuff that was at ~16ghz if I remember correctly. The paint plus some metal shielding kept the room pretty clean of interference.
Mikrotik is good. Said server room was for a wireless ISP and we ran their devices on towers all over the place.
Sdr spectrum analyzer. Even though it was pretty plain even with just your phone. Go into the room, close the metal door and your phone and wifi signals would plummet by 40-50db. You couldn't place a cell phone call from within the room.
It's always hard to get the new year into your head. I'll be writing 2025 until February 🤣
I don't use my ISP box wifi, bought my own router that lets me use an open source firmware. Not necessarily for privacy, moreso for features I needed. But it's a bonus I guess.
Also I wonder if lead paint actually attenuates signals. Prior to the bans in the late 70s was it known to interfere with TV or radio reception? I grew up in a farm house built in the 1920s and it had lead paint on some interior rooms as well as the exterior. Wifi and cell phones work fine there. I wonder if there is any actual data showing the signal attenuation levels caused by lead paint.
Working installing wifi commercially I got a pretty good idea of what would block wireless signals. Sheet metal, anything with a lot of water (trees, vegetation), and the ground were big culprits. It doesn't pass the sniff test for me that a sub mm thick layer of paint containing 0.5% lead would cause any significant signal loss. Maybe it's possible but I'm a "don't trust, verify" kind of person, especially when something goes against my real world experience.
