  6. @ety my shenanigans are mostly on much older kit than your average home lab phone setup (#electromechanical !)

    My preference for phone kit is “massive, heavy, and maintained with a spanner” 😂

    I just throw a ton of tags at it (usually as many relevant ones as I can fit in the post) are probably my most commonly used.

  11. Is anyone able to lay their hands on a firmware image for a Samsung Ubigate IBG1004?

    It’s an to gateway, and the one I’ve got seems to be corrupt and won’t decompress.

    My usual haunts for firmware images are coming up blank.

    The filename will be something like `iBG1004_Advanced_1.6.1.9.Z` - but I'm really not too fussy about the version number!

  16. Ok nerds! tell me about these things…

    The “MR” designation denotes some kind of diode (it stands for Metal Rectifier, a notation hangover from before silicon/germanium diodes) and they’re obviously arranged as full bridge rectifiers

    They’re in a PSU made for the British Post Office in 1972

    The brown stripe seems to denote the + end, but what does the other stripe mean?

  21. The (extensive) phone system in my house is reachable from the outside world, but I don't like anyone phoning me overnight.

    So I've made all the inbound routes time-of-day aware and they now play this message if you phone them overnight

  36. found an annoying fault on the - see that little pin just hanging out there at a jaunty angle nestled amongst the contact springs?

    It’s a lifting pin for the contacts at the top of the pile, it’s supposed to be straight, and attached to one of the contacts.

    Instead, it’s not lifting anything and is wiggling around connecting things that shouldn’t be connected.

    I guess now I get the fiddly job of replacing the stack of contacts without breaking any 70 year old wires!

  45. I’ve decided on my Easter weekend project… I need to swap the position of two cabinets in my shed, so I can set up the one I’m taking to as though it’s installed on-site

    I’ve measured, it’s possible… but involves moving about 15 heavy crates full of GPO relays, 7U of network equipment, 2 exchanges, an PABX, several reels of cable and other miscellaneous stuff I’ve forgotten about!

    Perhaps this needs to be a time lapse video of some kind
