 raitobezarius | managing the expectations of hexa | 14:59:19 |
 adamcstephens | I don't remember why I went with the ICX 7 series over the 6. It's been a number of years | 15:01:25 |
| raitobezarius | ICX7250 has a 0.5 times power draw and sound level of ICX6610 | 15:01:55 |
| raitobezarius | you lose rear QSFP+ & redundant PSU in exchange tho | 15:02:04 |
| raitobezarius | (and i guess you don't need to reverse engineer to obtain licenses for the L3) | 15:02:19 |
| raitobezarius | ah but i think you don't have BGP on ICX7250 | 15:02:36 |
| adamcstephens | ahh yeah, sound level I remember | 15:03:08 |
| adamcstephens | I'm only switching on mine, I route on NixOS | 15:03:21 |
| adamcstephens | https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/brocade-icx-series-cheap-powerful-10gbe-40gbe-switching.21107/ has power draw levels | 15:03:28 |
 hexa | sometimes I wish I could scale down my network more | 15:03:48 |
| hexa | get a flint 3 and be happy with it | 15:04:00 |
| raitobezarius | is this growing up | 15:03:59 |
| raitobezarius | if so, no thanks | 15:04:03 |
| hexa | but the thing is a qcom platform, so meh | 15:04:18 |
| hexa | but looks otherwise decent | 15:04:34 |
| hexa | with 5x 2.5Gbps | 15:04:46 |
| hexa | tri-band | 15:04:55 |
| hexa | finally mlo | 15:05:03 |
| adamcstephens | I'm not sure I even have any clients that could use the third band | 15:09:49 |
 K900 | OpenWRT Two Soon(tm) | 15:10:43 |
| K900 | Also you will not be happy with it lol | 15:10:51 |
| hexa | the openwrt was a weird compromise as well | 15:11:05 |
| hexa | well, weird for my use cases | 15:11:13 |
| hexa | ax211 in the laptop and pixel 6a can both do 6ghz in theory, but I don't have anything 802.11be, so no MLO | 15:11:41 |
| hexa | honestly, gl-inet feels like a much better fit for production | 15:13:21 |
| hexa | what they do is much closer already to what openwrt people want | 15:13:31 |
 emily | the one and two both seem like there's no reason to buy them over just a normal BPI board | 15:14:08 |
| hexa | you mean the bpi-r4 pro? | 15:15:34 |
| hexa | how are your arm adventures with that board coming along? | 15:17:17 |
| emily | but like | 15:18:04 |
