| 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 |

| emily | yes | 14:30:08 |
| emily | yeah that explains it | 14:30:15 |

| 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 |
| emily | infiniband seems cursed. | 14:35:55 |
| magic_rb | it is :P^ | 14:36:04 |
| magic_rb | * it is :P | 14:36:05 |

Is the gpon i have here running some kind of linux or do they tend to run some embedded cursed thing? If it's Realtek or Lantiq, it's running Linux | 15:02:19 |
| K900 | If it's Huawei, it might be some weird RTOS or it might be Linux but they don't admit it | 15:02:36 |
| K900 | I don't think anyone but those three actually makes PON modem chips | 15:03:52 |
| K900 | Oh Broadcom is also a thing and also Linux but fuck Broadcom all my homies hate Broadcom | 15:05:52 |
| K900 | And Mediatek supposedly has one (1) SoC for baseline GPON that is complete Bigfoot status | 15:06:22 |

Oh Broadcom is also a thing and also Linux but fuck Broadcom all my homies hate Broadcom I wonder why rpi keeps using shitty broadcom chips | 16:05:59 |
