An Open Letter to an Unnamed Troll...

I usually try to temper my criticism with humor, but I've had enough, and the gloves are off.

Most people on this forum have given you the benefit of the doubt at one time or another since January…and tried to reason and debate your statements. The people on Sky Angel Forum did the same in December.

But the closer it gets to a final answer in the life or death struggle of VoOm, the more you salivate over the prospect of a dead body. And the more ravenous you become…and the more you try to take center stage…and the more absurd you appear.

You don't to like to discuss the pointed questions...so you plead "topic" and "personal attack", or try to blame someone else, or simply ignore the question posed to you.

You behave a lot like the typical schoolyard bully…when he's cornered and pressed for accountability…he cries.

For the benefit of any newcomers, here's just one example…http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?p=375710#post375710 I could cite dozens of others, but I won't waste any more of my time on you by searching them out. Even newcomers will recognize your pattern of behavior after a little reading.

What goes on with VoOm has nothing to do with you, and will not be influenced by you, no matter how much you plaster the boards with your simpering and snide comments...get over it!! The ultimate outcome for VoOm will be determined by Charles Dolan and others…not you. So save yourself some breath, and quit telling him how he coulda', woulda' shoulda' planned his strategy. And quit telling the posters on this forum that they are liars, ignorant, deluded, or worse.

If you're so freaking smart, why aren't you the one in charge? You're don't get to make the rules and you don't influence the facts—either with VoOm or on this forum.

You may have a certain amount of knowledge to share, but I believe that sharing knowledge is NOT your agenda. The crux of your agenda is something I still can't figure out…but it seem apparent to me that it's based on hate of some kind...for some thing...or some one.

Your misanthropic behavior is not disguised by putting smiley faces on malicious statements, or by disingenuous attempts at conciliation when you've been exposed for trying to twist the facts, leave out pertinent facts, or actually just fabricating your own facts.

I have never before felt it necessary or even desirable to actually ignore someone…but you are to be congratulated on at least one thing! You are the very first person I have ever found to be so totally lacking in redeeming value that I am actually going to put you on my "ignore" list. Now, now…don't get emotional…there's no need to thank me!

I won't be surprised if this post gets pulled, like so many of yours have been. And frankly, I don't give a "well you know!" I'll just take satisfaction in knowing that at least one or two people may get to read it, and more than likely may agree with it.

I want to learn. I'll look on my control panel. I like the idea of the "ignore" feature and need to learn how to use it. Someone please let me know how this works in case the feature is somewhere else.

I found this forum when I went looking for this mystical provider Voom in 2003. It was a great resource then. I forgot about it unfortunately as I went about just enjoying Voom as a sub. Of course when everything hit the fan I was back and again this has once more been a great resource. However I've become very tired of the the ongoing bashing that's filled these threads. I also believe in self regulation. Ignore will be a great help in enjoying this forum again.

To quote the Music Man, "Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little pick, pick, pick, pick, pick." I can't wait to toon out the hens. :)

Your right. Racoon hiding behind a mask so appropriate. Good candidate for Racoon roadkill stew though. LMAO

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

A recalibration might be needed. Even if it shows full, the individual cells may have become unbalaced. And the BMS chip in the battery reports false information to the pc.
Try this. Start it up in the bios/uefi and leave it there until the battery dies and it shuts off.
It might just keep running longer than in Windows. Or run for a short while and shut off.
If it's the first case. Probably just needs a balancing. If the latter, the pack might just be dead.
Not throwing stones but perhaps just a cheaply constructed battery with substandard cells. Could be.

Patience. Keep restarting it in bios/uefi until it won't fire up anymore.
Then plug the charger in and let it complete a full charge. And see what happens. If it's better.
Do the same thing one more time. Run it until it dies dead-dead. Then just let it charge, pc shut off.
When charged, it might be better. It might not be.

There are bench jigs that read the actual BMS and override it to let a tech manually monitor and charge the separate packs. They can also reset any "time bombs" in it that cause an otherwise good pack to show bad.
Maybe Santa will be good to me some year.

You might just need a new battery. Maybe the PC power management chip is going. A Dell common thing.
Leaving a laptop plugged in with a full battery is known to reduce the life. Asus for one recommends that you don't leave the charger plugged in all of the time even when shut down. And setting Windows to charge the battery to 85% instead of 100% increases life.
That's all I got.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can't get into the router to reserve an IP address just don't use DHCP on the device that needs connected and assign it to a specific IP address in the network settings.

They are not. Your best bet is to set up a third-party router, attached to the Starlink for your server, that you can get into, like a Linksys, etc

The Starlink V5 Install Kit I just got comes with the Mini Router. It is pretty limited in what it can do. For example, it can provide only one IP subnet at a time, no Guest Network, but it does support the pass-thru to a third-party Router. You can also split the Wi-Fi into separate 5 GHz & 2.4 GHz SSIDs to help some IoT devices that don't support 5 GHz bands to work.

The larger Starlink Router that still comes with the V4 Kit does support a Guest Network with separate IPv4 Subnet, but it's $120 from Starlink. And it still won't do DHCP Reservations.
harshness
If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.

Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):

Now that I've had the v5 kit with the Mini Router, it's not as bad as I first thought. Yes, no DHCP reservations, but you can set up multiple SSIDs that have separate IPv4 subnets, and like the big brother, you can select from 192.168.x.0/24 or 10.x.0.0/16 (where "x" is 1-4).

You can also split a subnet and have different SSIDs for the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz channels to handle some IoT devices. I haven't discovered what subnet the 2nd NIC on the router assigns, I'm guessing it's the first subnet.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Thought this article might be of interest to some of you who might travel via train.
