We Can Be Heroes - people are dying of famine
by
Lightspeed
on 28/03/2012, 03:21:03 UTC
So I have recently become addicted to comics. And I have started to notice heaps of ads in DC Comics about the huge starvation epidemic taking place in Africa. Here is what is printed in the back of Aquaman #6. Note I hate Aquaman but love Mera that's why I bought this issue. Anyway here is what is printed:

"Countries in the Horn of Africa
(Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya)
are facing the worst drought
in 60 years, causing a severe
hunger crisis. According to the
U.S. government, the crisis
is unlike any other in terms
of displacement, death and
starvation of the population. More
than 13 million people are in need
of critical assistance. In Somalia
alone, more than 250,000 people
face starvation. Hundreds of
thousands have fled to refugee
camps seeking help. The situation
is so critical that the United
Nations officially declared famine
for the first time in 21 years.

Humanitarian aid organizations are
on the ground working to provide
much needed relief to the drought
and famine-stricken areas. But
they need more help. They need
our help.

Join the Justice League and
DC Entertainment in raising
awareness and funds for three
nonprofit partners, Save the
Children, International Rescue
Committee and Mercy Corps,
who are delivering aid where it is
needed most. DC Entertainment
will match donations 100%, and
50% of the purchase price from
We Can Be Heroes merchandise
will go to saving lives.

The people of the Horn of Africa need us now.
One small act can make you a hero.

Give Now: www.WeCanBeHeroes.org"

Normally I detest charity for the destructive dependencies it creates, but this is something that even I see as vital. As a community I do not see why we cannot help. I'm sure there are some coin farmers who can think up innovative ways to help.

What say you ladies and gentlemen?

DO NOT DONATE TO MY ADDRESS, we need to sort out a secure system.

Ok really noob question here, but it has 4 ethernet ports right, I have more than 4 PCs that need to be connected, how exactly do I go about that? .. so how do I connect up a second network switch, say an 8 or 16 port gigabit switch

A hub/switch connected to 1 of those ethernet ports, maybe?
But it has wi-fi... I don't even use the ethernet ports, so I can't tell you exactly how to do it.
Now an even noobier question from me: How do you connect all those PC's to a single 3g modem that doesn't even have a single ethernet port?

its plugged into my main PC, and its set to share to allow all users on network to use it, main pc is connected to switch via ethernet

Same principle, then. But I'm 99% sure that you can connect the switch directly to the router port instead of your computer. Smiley
Maybe someone can chime in and say it with 100% certainty Smiley

Answer here: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/lanwan-basics/31442-how-to-add-ports-to-a-router

It's as easy as pie then, ok. If everyone is happy I'll give 1 BTC to the first person who suggested the netgear hardware and then divide the last .5 among the others who helped answer networking questions etc. I think the hardware solution is what i'll go with.

Looks like that may use a standard HSPA modem to connect, in which case it may be supported directly in Windows without needing to fiddle with the software from the broadband provider. Try disconnecting with the software app, then go to the Windows connections icon in the tray and check out the options. It should show up under the "Dial up and 3G" section, and there should be any number of ways to configure the device, including auto-reconnect options.

Yeah I can disconnect without going through the software, but on connect it asks for a bunch of settings that I have NFI about and I am going through the network settings and cannot find any mention of reconnect functionality

So you just need something that clicks the button when it says "Connect" ?  I should be able to do this easily...PM me with a link to the software if you don't mind.

Thanks

Ehhhh looking but yet to find


Without knowing the root cause (could be a disconnect command from the provider side) the simplest way to deal with this is scripting a mouse action with any of the many keyboard/mouse automation tools.

AutoHotKey tool is an option.

AutoIt is a bit more mature automation tool that allows COM and shell access, so that you can perform the mouse action only upon detection of no internet connectivity.



I'm going to write it in AutoIt, should be able to read the caption/text off the button.  Easy peasy.

Easy money if it works bro!

Hmm, 1second google search for your model brought up these results, if it works dont worry about the coins, this one is on me.

Go to Control Panel > Select Phone & Modems > Select the Required Modem > Go to Properties of that Modem > Select Advance TAB & insert Extra Initialization Command (AT+CGDCONT=1, "IP", "BSNLNET")
Press OK
Now Select Network Connections in Control Panel
Click on "Create new Network".
A wizard will start up. Click next.
Select "Connect to Internet". Click next.
Select "Set up my connection manually". Click next.
Select "Connect using a Dial-up Modem". Click next.
Select Your Modem. Click next.
ISP Name: (Any name could be written). Click next.
Phone Number: *99#. Click next.
Leave User Name, Password, and Confirm Password fields blank. Click next.
Click on "Add a shortcut to Desktop". Click on Finish.
Right click on the Dial-up connection and go to Properties
Select options Tab
In Redialing options
Change Redial attempts to 99
Change Time between Redials to 1 Sec.
Chnage Idle time before hanging up to never
Tick the Box which says Redial If line is dropped.


If you get error 619, make sure to check this:

Goto tools> options> general> select Ras (Modem) radio button in connection type and press Ok. Then connect the internet and it will automatically creates a Dial-up for you.

This sounds awesome (i'll still pay you) but you lost me at phone and modems... lol.... I feel like I am derping majorly right now

Internet Disconnecting - Losing Money, Help - 1.5 BTC Reward
by
Lightspeed
on 26/03/2012, 20:07:06 UTC
hello everyone,

I have a 1.5 BTC reward up for grabs to whomever can help solve my internet woes

First up, I am mining on a 3G mobile broadband connection. The place I am living in has no phoneline, but it has fixed electricity @ $10 a fortnight (hehe) so I am quite happy to stay

The problem is that I go to bed and wake up to find that all my hardware is offline, the single point of failure being a lost connection

I have considered an alarm on disconnect but honestly, i'd rather not be woken up every night along with waking up the neighbours with a blarring alarm (loud speakers)

So this is the software I am working with:



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

now I basically wake up and have to click that damned connect button, there is no auto reconnect feature anywhere in the software, I am a computer programmer (out of work for like 3-4 years now though) so I can understand advanced concepts

I just want to be up 24/7! can anyone here help, pretty please with 1.5BTC on top?

cheers

My wife recently kicked me out and one of her reasons was I talked about bitcoin too much.  Lips sealed

I know how you feel man.

Did you go buy more GPUs when she kicked you out as a fuck you gesture? lolol

* Lightspeed wants a feature

if I make the command prompt window like 120 high can we increase the number of displayed output lines so it fills the whole screen?

I'll donate again if you do it Tongue

Hi,

Tom Lightspeed here, did some stats work, if you like it please donate: 1LYjJCtP8RFJ6zz6orxf5ym9CrvxPS4pDr

I could do some of the things you guys want too from what I am reading

May the force be with you

I do appreciate it tom!  I sent you 0.5 BTC a while back.  If the pool becomes a net positive for me, or we request some work, I can send some more Smiley Others are of course welcome to donate too if you like the stats page!

Ahh that was you! thanks Cheesy
