 emily | what SFP fun 👀 | 17:06:40 |
 K900 | I got the GPON modem thingy | 17:09:34 |
| K900 | And it's basically horribly broken | 17:09:39 |
| K900 | So I'm trying to figure out how to least painfully unfuck it | 17:09:48 |
| emily | the GPON SFPs are basically just tiny Linux SBCs right? | 17:09:51 |
| emily | with web interfaces and everything? | 17:09:55 |
| 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 |

| 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 |
