K900 | Yes | 17:09:58 |
emily | it seems kind of horrifying. | 17:10:03 |
K900 | It's basically a modem in an SFP form factor | 17:10:07 |
emily | I feel like at that point I'd prefer a standalone unit. | 17:10:20 |
emily | …can you run OpenWrt on the SFP? | 17:10:34 |
K900 | Theoretically? | 17:10:47 |
matthewcroughan | what | 17:12:08 |
matthewcroughan | sick | 17:12:10 |
K900 | It's really not | 17:12:21 |
K900 | It's just a modem | 17:12:23 |
K900 | After all | 17:12:24 |
matthewcroughan | no I mean it makes me sick | 17:12:29 |
K900 | But I don't think those Realtek SoCs are supported on anything even vaguely resembling mainline | 17:12:36 |
matthewcroughan | in a good way | 17:12:38 |
K900 | Some people got OpenWRT running on similar units that are Lantiq based | 17:13:19 |
K900 | Because for some reason Lantiq is decently supported on mainline | 17:13:30 |
K900 | But those can't do 2.5G | 17:14:07 |
| @assert-inequality:matrix.org left the room. | 19:33:11 |
K900 | JAJAJAJAJAJAJ | 20:02:22 |
K900 | I WON | 20:02:24 |
| @tiferrei:matrix.org joined the room. | 20:54:11 |
flokli | Hmm, I always assumed this gpon stuff is using some certificates and provisioning from the provider to control when to send etc | 21:03:12 |
flokli | And that you cannot just plug in your own thing, but need to use the media converter that the ISP provides | 21:03:50 |
flokli | Or am I mixing things up here? | 21:04:03 |
K900 | No one said you can't just steal the credentials from the ISP box :P | 21:15:58 |
flokli | Sneaky | 21:28:44 |
flokli | It's just a small white Matchbox from Huawei | 21:29:21 |
flokli | I think all the jitter is just because of gpon, not that boxes' fault | 21:30:40 |
emily | AIUI they generally just bind it to a serial | 23:11:45 |
emily | and you can just copy the serial | 23:11:48 |
