 emily | anyway it looks like I can plausibly run fibre drops to every room via disused phone sockets | 18:23:35 |
| emily | so that's exciting | 18:23:38 |
| emily | unfortunately I know nothing about fibre and need someone to teach me what all the words mean | 18:23:59 |
 toonn | What's so bad about MIPS? | 18:29:38 |

What's so bad about MIPS? NixOS does not officially support it | 18:31:02 |
 raitobezarius | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
much less second hand, but obviously I wasn't recommending actually buying a 100G switch oops too late | 18:34:16 |
| emily | well I'm not saying I don't want one | 18:38:10 |
| raitobezarius | i can give ssh once i'm done with it | 18:38:32 |
| emily | does the 100G go over SSH? | 18:38:46 |
| emily | can I download the bandwidth? | 18:38:52 |
| raitobezarius | :DDDDDDDD | 18:38:55 |
| emily | alternatively can I run some fibre to you? | 18:39:07 |
| raitobezarius | you don't need | 18:39:17 |
| raitobezarius | i already have dark fiber | 18:39:19 |
| raitobezarius | just hit me up at TH2, Paris | 18:39:31 |
| toonn | Oh, you want to run NixOS on a switch? | 18:39:59 |
| raitobezarius | yes | 18:40:07 |
| emily | yes | 19:04:56 |
| emily | I mean if I go MIPS it'll be Liminix | 19:05:02 |
| emily | but actual NixOS would be nicer | 19:05:06 |
|  jayf99 joined the room. | 19:27:17 |

 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | xikestor has a loud fan design, the tp-link 1008 thing has a fanless design | 11:19:42 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I just wanna run a Linux I compiled on a switch rather than some outdated awful crap | 11:20:26 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I don't even care about the distribution at this point | 11:20:39 |
| emily | does the TP-LINK actually have better cooling? because if not you just have to turn off the fan, right? | 11:30:37 |
| emily | magic_rb: is now a good time to ask about your antenna config? :) | 11:52:58 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | it has no fan | 11:53:34 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I suspect it being fanless means the manufacturer is comfortable with its design | 11:53:51 |
| emily | well the xikestor stuff is made to be rackmountable I think. | 11:55:32 |
| emily | where you certainly want a fan. | 11:55:46 |
