Re: FedEx Club

In light of this I will setup a pc to bring with multiple network cards and a crap ton of stuff to share and a lot of extra hd space. Mabye organizing a time and place we can start the dc swap spot or something. Just my 2 cents.

sweet, this could kick a lot of ass, i think.

and thank you for being so great about doubling my movie collection overnight!

Re: FedEx Club

nah, 5 ports should do .. 2 for dump server, 3 for user (2+1 split to interfaces on the dump box) .. others wanting to dump could feasibly connect through USB/firewire on a box as well. .. just not Renderman, he's banned from USB ports.

Re: FedEx Club

ya, but it probably couldn't handle 1000 sustained on all ports, possibly 100 or so on all though, which should work out. Ideally the dump server would take two of those .. then divy load across the two 1000 nics to keep the box writing as fast as it can receive

Well, with a little reconfiguration and downgrading of non-gigabit interfaces to 100 Mb/s I could take the 8-port 10/100/1000 off my home LAN and bring that with me instead of the 5 port. I was thinking that 5 port would be enough for us to use in case Deviant wanted to set it up in the Lockpick or WiFi Villag but if not, somebody let me know and I'll start redoing the home LAN.

Re: FedEx Club

Are all five ports 1000? The earlier linksys switches only had the upload link as 1000.

Yes, all five show as 1000 when I connect to them with my MBP.

I saw a
netgear 5 port 10/100/1000 on newegg for something like $40 with a $10 rebate.

I'll probably bring that with me to con too. I'm not sure what I'll do for external Disk though. Cheap, fast, external USB2/Firewire 1-2 TB drives are not very common-- yet.

Re: FedEx Club

Use a small picture. :>

Is this even possible - you and small seems to be an oxymoron like Army and Intelligence.

I was going to bring an 8-port 10/100 switch. I think I'll bring a 10/100/1000 5-port instead.

Re: FedEx Club

I would suggest a seperate dumping ground from the actual TTB .. that way file organization and quality can be maintained on the live set.

Re: FedEx Club

How about an FTP Server that anyone can access and upload to? We can attach the drives to the server, and make a RAID1 so that we can make two sets at once.

What would it take to set up an effective dump station for content to be added to the TTB at Defcon? Mailing is great, but with everyone flying in to one central spot it seems like that could be leveraged to more efficiently transfer files.. ship around to those that can't, then dump at the con for anyone that can to maximize goodness?
