🔍 A Little Background

longer video encoding queue

  • Running loads of video encoders for 3Speak means I’m basically the “video chef” of Hive. 🍳🎥
  • Encoder Systems systems churning out encodes day and night – with electricity (and its backup!), plus Tata Fiber internet. 🔋⚡
  • But then... Pune rain said, "Let there be fiber cuts." 🌧️✂️
  • Users endured endless waiting, and my inbox: “Why so sloooow?” 😵‍💫
  • After one too many queues, I said: NO MORE! ⛔ Let’s fix this!

🤔 Another Backup Internet?

What if

  • Thought: "Two fibers = double fun?" But what if both get “snipped” in the next monsoon? 🌧️🔎
  • Sales agents everywhere swarming faster than my internet could load – but who truly listened? 🤷‍♂️
  • Finally, one sales champ whispered: “Try air fiber?” Now we’re cooking! 🍳🛜

📡 Enter: Air Fiberrrrr!

  • Google says: Airfiber is wireless broadband. No cables. Goodbye, fiber naps! 🎆📡

Yes that right there gif

  • No cables = no fiber cuts = only needs electricity ⚡🔌
  • Who wouldn’t want that? I was all in! 🙌
  • Of course, slightly expensive than regular fiber connection 💸

🧑‍💼 Sales Guy With Excuses

but sir sir

  • Excuse level: 🥇 Sir, only for cable-less places!
  • Sir, must do feasibility study 🧐
  • Sir, sir, sir… can’t. (Was this a sales call or a government office?) 😁
  • Pulled my trump card: “But Jio gave me an air fiber quote!” (Fake it till you make it? 🤫)
  • Sales guy: “Jio isn’t in your area, sir,” mic drop ☎️🚫

🦸‍♀️ Wife To The Rescue

wife is always right

  • Pro tip from wife: "Stop calling. Fill the online form. Let them chase you!" 💡
  • Two minutes later: Submission complete.
  • Twenty minutes later: “Sir, may we do a feasibility check?” 🤯
  • Three hours later: Technician arrived – “Antenna here okay?” YES! Please, install and save my sanity! 🚀

faak yeah

  • Never underestimate online forms… or a wife’s common sense.

🔌 Got Connection... But Wait!

  • KYC: done ✔️
  • Installation: done ✔️
  • But “few hours” = all day ⏳
  • Next day: “Sir, please test.” Uh… that’s 2 hours away! (Ever tried fighting Pune traffic? 🐢)
  • So what now?

📲 Update Defaults Like a Pro

update it

  • Airtel app lets you update wifi name & password from your phone. Magic. 🪄📱
  • Remotely changed SSID & password without being anywhere near the device. 🙏
  • Bonus: Remote access to all 3Speak encoder nodes! 🖥️

🐧 Ubuntu Tips: Switching WiFi via CLI!

  • Need to switch to backup WiFi without being there? Enter the magic of CLI!

List all available WiFi networks:

sudo nmcli dev wifi list
  • Output looks like this:

see list of available wifis

Connect to new network:

sudo nmcli device wifi connect “SECONDARY_SSID” password “SECONDARY_PASS” ifname wlan1
  • Swap in your WiFi name and password. 🔑

✨ That’s All, Folks!
