we don't have a real networking thread and the closest thing i can remember is the cat 5 in the laundry room thread so why the hell not

talk about wifi and ethernet and sonet and atm and frame relay and your personal token ring setup and your infiniband home lan and your fibre channel san or your 40gbE nas or whatever the gently caress

things i have or will have going on at some point
  • 10gbE chelsio nic someone must've recycled at some point that I found in my storage unit
  • dell powerconnect 6248p someone definitely recycled. very loud and it has four 10gbE SFP slots
  • four buffalo wifi APs for my dad's place
  • i can get a spool of plenum rated cat 5e from work for $20 to wire said place the hell up. was gonna buy the cat 6 we had but i pulled on it and there was only 4 feet of cable left

my eventual plan with the Very Fast Ethernet equipment is to build an iSCSI NAS to hold all of my archived digitized video tapes and photo scans so I can stop janitoring my free space.

I already have a rackmount appliance thing with the ram and hard drives removed, but it's pretty old. I can gut the digital parts and reuse it I think. It was originally a NebuAd UTA-1000. the Nebuad Ultra Transparent Appliance was basically a deep packet inspection box used to build detailed advertising profiles on ISP's users and insject ads into their web pages.

so basically I'm going to eventually have a big storage box built in the husk of a server that caused "congressional concern" :allears:

currently i have a 2011 sharp 1080p hdtv. it's got 1 hdmi in, so i'm all set there, thank you.

the wdtv is also from 2011, it does 1080p out and has an "ethernet" jack on it, i think it's 100mbps but maybe we can OC that bad boy up to 100gbs. this isn't for streaming bullshit, this is for xferring files over there. right now it can take like...several minutes for a linux iso rip to get xferred to the wdtv.

does the nas support 10gbE? also you're probably not getting 100gbE

10gbE is either fiber (good) or 10GBASE-T (apparently sucks) or some weird standard nobody uses

I have some consumer-level VDSL2 modem/router with one 1Gb port for my NAS/digitv-server. Thus normal desktop computer is connected through lowly 100 mbps port and everything else is on 2.4 GHz WLAN. The 2.4 GHz channels are congested af so maybe the next investment for me is a better VDSL2 box that has more 1Gb ports and 5 GHz transmitter.

Maybe garbage house has multiple wall panel plugs for wired home network? :shrug:

A family friend is building a 6+ room house and I haven't counted how many wall plugs he has installed on it. Legal demands here require that there is a 2-socket RJ45 plug on each bedroom.

Good. A well wired house with like 3 outlets per bedroom plus an extra 3 per other room is fine and good.
