 matthewcroughan - nix.zone | or at least safe for human hands | 12:08:25 |
 emily | sure I just mean if you're packing them into every port then sure, I'd worry about cooling. I wouldn't necessarily feel secure with the fanless TP-Link either though. | 12:08:34 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | Why would they sell a fanless 8 port SFP if it weren't tested | 12:08:59 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | * Why would they sell a fanless 8 port SFP if it weren't tested in that configuration | 12:09:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | it's not like you can add fans to it, it's designed to be fanless without the option of cooling it externally | 12:09:26 |
 adamcstephens | Because it meets their requirements for doing so, but that doesn't mean it will have as long of a life as one with a fan | 12:09:36 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | sure, lifespan, I'm concerned with human safety, not lifespan of switch | 12:09:52 |
| emily | probably they tested it not entirely full of copper modules | 12:10:17 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I mean, would they not have to regulatorily? | 12:10:29 |
| emily | I mean… the actual risk we're talking about is it shutting off because of overheating, I presume. | 12:10:39 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | I find it hard to believe they could manufacture electronics like this without testing that edge case | 12:10:50 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | a friend in hackspace has to do way more stringent tests to get approved on his dainty little RFID products | 12:11:07 |
| emily | I assume it's not going to start a fire… but I also assume you want the switch to keep running | 12:11:22 |
| emily | a bunch of RJ45 SFP+ modules will specifically tell you to space them out for heat reasons fwiw | 12:11:29 |
| emily | but anyway I'm not saying it's going to be a problem. I'm just saying I don't think you can say the TP-Link is definitely fine fanless and the XikeStor definitely isn't | 12:11:53 |
| emily | if I was worrying about cooling I'd definitely also be investing in ones with the Broadcom chip! since last time you were fine with one that hit 70 C at 10G | 12:15:10 |

magic_rb: is now a good time to ask about your antenna config? :) oh yes, ill send pic | 22:40:50 |

| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | is there any way to get the search domain of the network you're currently on? | 21:59:28 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | like whether I am reachable at foo.lan or foo.localdomain or foo.bar | 22:00:08 |
 Jeff | sometimes a DHCP server will send you that information, otherwise there's no automated way | 22:08:52 |
| Jeff | and it's unlikely that a random computer connecting to a random network will get a DNS entry added to the DNS servers (not impossible, but certainly not to be relied on). | 22:10:08 |
| matthewcroughan - nix.zone | resolvectl tells you about these domains anyway which is nice | 22:12:38 |
| Jeff | only if the DHCP server tells your system | 22:20:03 |

| prince213 | Can I have anyone review this PR? I know it's a review request but I'm looking for people with networking knowledge. | 12:09:06 |

| prince213 | Thanks in advance. | 12:09:15 |
| emily | cc K900 who expressed some interest in firewalld? | 13:05:15 |
