 magic_rb | Yeah im not leaving fibre in the walls, no point | 14:25:18 |
 emily | so having single-mode transceivers will be useful when you wire up your gigantic mansion that you're going to live in for 100 years | 14:25:27 |
| magic_rb | There are maybe 10 people in this city that want fiber in their walls | 14:25:28 |
| emily | btw you could also just run 10GBASE-T :P | 14:25:46 |
| magic_rb | Yeah i think buying the transceivers and cable separately makes more sense from a "reparability" perspective or whatever | 14:26:11 |

| magic_rb | I didnt know that single mode is better than multi mode | 14:26:32 |
| emily | I mean you could just do Cat6a. | 14:27:05 |
| magic_rb | Nah thats lame | 14:27:18 |
| emily | right. so since rational considerations aren't being applied, pull single-mode through the walls :P | 14:27:49 |

| magic_rb | 4 euros for 30 meters lmao | 14:28:20 |
| emily | wow AliExpress fibre is a lot cheaper than FS. | 14:28:34 |
| emily | kind of scary. | 14:28:44 |
| magic_rb | Do i want single mode duplex? | 14:29:57 |
| magic_rb | Those are 16 | 14:30:07 |
| emily | yes | 14:30:08 |
| emily | yeah that explains it | 14:30:15 |
| magic_rb | For cable and then 16 for module | 14:30:21 |
| emily | so same price as FS | 14:30:21 |
| magic_rb | 10GBase-LR | 14:30:38 |

| emily | look you're the one who dismissed the AOC plan | 14:34:16 |
| magic_rb | yeah and i think thats stupid enough | 14:35:03 |
| magic_rb | if the bpi could do 25g then id agree | 14:35:09 |
| magic_rb | but if i want 40 gig between some two servers, ill just run infiband, used 40 gig infiband is cheap | 14:35:30 |
| magic_rb | infiniband switches are super expensive, but point to point its cheap | 14:35:52 |
