magic_rb | In reply to @spaenny:tchncs.de Well never have to run it again I may be moving again in a year or two, so in fact ill have to take it out of the floor. No one after me will appreciate having fiber in the floor | 11:12:14 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Well that's the difference between invasive and non-invasive surgery | 11:12:21 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | one is a lot worse than the other | 11:12:25 |
magic_rb | Most people dont run ethernet at all there days and instead rely on wifi | 11:12:27 |
magic_rb | * | 11:12:39 |
Spaenny | Well in that case I agree with you no point | 11:12:44 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | You can also observe fluctuations in the signal when fiber is chopped, and there are protocols that care about this and monitor it, and let you know it has been chopped | 11:12:58 |
Spaenny | Sounded like its your property | 11:13:05 |
magic_rb | In reply to @spaenny:tchncs.de Well in that case I agree with you no point :P ill still run the fiber, just in september and not now. I need to save up some cash first | 11:13:10 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | copper is a radio emitting signal outside the cable | 11:13:25 |
magic_rb | In reply to @spaenny:tchncs.de Sounded like its your property Nah, not yet, im 23 where the fuck would i get the money to buy a place in the netherlands lmao | 11:13:30 |
Spaenny | On the same boat | 11:13:49 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | true, but I'm already wifi-maxxed thanks to the bpi-r4 | 11:14:08 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Now I want to be wire-maxxed | 11:14:16 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | tbh the bpi-r4 is an unfathomable device, how do they do it so cheap | 11:14:45 |
magic_rb | In reply to @spaenny:tchncs.de On the same boat If you go china fiber its not that bad, around 28euros per 30m run of fiber, then you need sfps which are around 25 a pop and a few switchtes. So its not that bad tbh and i plan to do it in such way where itll be relatively easy to remove | 11:14:49 |
magic_rb | Or i might just fucking leave the fiber lines in there | 11:15:00 |
magic_rb | Tbh | 11:15:01 |
magic_rb | In reply to @matthewcroughan:defenestrate.it true, but I'm already wifi-maxxed thanks to the bpi-r4 Most people dont have gigabit at home, most people dont have a computer anymore and rely on tablets/phones unless they need a computer | 11:16:05 |
magic_rb | I get the feeling youre underestimating how different the people here are from normal people | 11:16:24 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | A tablet/phone is a computer tho | 11:17:13 |
magic_rb | Right but a tablet/phone is a small slow shitty computer you wont plug into a gigabit line | 11:17:59 |
matthewcroughan - nix.zone | there's a lot of people who work on media at home too | 11:18:05 |
