eXOfàsiaEn línia general, per aquí defensem que la infraestructura de fibra òptica hauria de ser un comú, de forma similar a les carreteres o les línies elèctriques.<br><br>En ciutats com Zürich és el cas: una empresa municipal administra la part física, subcontractant el manteniment i la instal•lació si s'escau: <a href="https://www.ewz.ch/de/private/glasfaser.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ewz.ch/de/private/glasfaser.html</a><br><br>Els proveïdors paguen a aquesta empresa municipal per l'accés a la part física (al mateix preu, totes les empreses) i competeixen en prestacions i atenció als clients finals, que poden canviar de proveïdor super fàcil donant el múmero del punt terminal de Fibra Òptica.<br><br>Aqui això no és una realitat i llogar la part física, encara que sigui als grans, te sentit; però clarament no és una competència en igualtat de condicions.<br><br>Apart de la capa física, hi ha moltes coses involucrades en un ISP (Proveïdor de Serveis d'Internet), i aquí és on potser la crítica a <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/users/somconnexio" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@somconnexio@mastodon.social</a></span> és parcialment vàlida, però cal ésser conscients que per la seva estructura cooperativista hi ha una sèrie de limitacions salarials que fan que potser no puguin assumir amb personal propi certes tasques; no és pas una qüestió fàcil d'adreçar, i segur que està en el seu ràdar.<br><br>A eXO, per l'escala (petita!) i la tipologia de sòcies, tot el que va més enllà de la capa física ho porta l'associació mateixa amb feina voluntària i col•laboracions estretes; així els routers poden ser genèrics (n'hi ha amb <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=openwrt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenWRT</a>, mikrotik, <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=freebsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a>, …), les IPs són pròpies (eXO és membre del <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=ripencc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RIPENCC</a>), hi ha una IPv4 pròpia i una delegació de bloc /56 de <a href="https://exo.cat/fedi?t=ipv6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IPv6</a>, si canviem de domicili les nostres IPs vénen amb nosaltres, i si ens hi volem implicar, podem involucrar-nos en l'operativa de l'associació, aprenent com es fa i com funciona internet en el procés.<br><br>Sobretot el tema de l'escala petita fa que el preu d'accés a la capa física sigui alt, i que les despeses fixes es distribueixin entre poques connexions. Tampoc hi ha un ànim de lucre, inversions ni especulacions, així que els serveis s'han de poder sostenir econòmicament.<br>Això fa que no sigui viable oferir els preus tan baixos com els que ofereixen altres ISP, però sí que baixaran, i sobretot contribuïm a mantenir una infraestructura de manera diferent, mancomunada i comunitària, i a poder oferir serveis al públic general com ara meet.guifi.net / meet.eXO.cat, que és operat i suportat econòmicament 100% per l'associació.<br><br>CC: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://bcn.fedi.cat/users/marcelcosta" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@marcelcosta@bcn.fedi.cat</a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://bcn.fedi.cat/users/polme" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@polme@bcn.fedi.cat</a></span><br>

I didn't need to do any of the changes that Ben Tasker mentioned it just gave a full on 1GB PPPoE connection. Fingers crossed I have most things set up correctly ? I did notice a bug after updating though. Before I updated the system health graphs showed the correct date and times now it is showing me the 14th and 10PM UK time yet the systems is reporting the correct date and time plus time zone as I'm using NTP.

Rob 💚<p>I've been studying fsync() for a couple of years and I thought I'd seen every weird way that it could be used and misused, but this week I learned of one more that exists in the wild: if the program crashes between write() and fsync(), on restart, fsync() after open() to ensure those writes are on disk.</p><p>I am pretty sure this doesn't do what people think it does, and here's why:</p><p><a href="https://despairlabs.com/blog/posts/2025-03-13-fsync-after-open-is-an-elaborate-no-op/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">despairlabs.com/blog/posts/202</span><span class="invisible">5-03-13-fsync-after-open-is-an-elaborate-no-op/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.lol/tags/fsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fsync</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://social.lol/tags/OpenZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenZFS</span></a></p>
