  • They banned flavored pods. That's why disposables took off. Those are banned now too, but enforcement is basically non-existent at the federal level.

  • Systemd-init, the core part of systemd, offersa wide range of features surpassing other init systems. More features lead to more bugs and security vulnerabilities.

    This is a bad take. Many of systemd's features improve security significantly. And having all that code in one cohesive place can't possibly be inherently less secure than the cornucopia of init scripts we used to use.

  • If you're going to run fiber cables, run two or three. At least two.

    You don't want to do that twice if you don't have to. And if you need to troubleshoot your layer 1 at some point in the future, it's a lot less frustrating to have a good spare versus having to run more later just for testing.

    I would go with 2 in aggregate (if you have the ports) + 1 spare.

    But yes, fiber would definitely be a better option if you have enough clearance to run it without kinking it. Might even be cheaper depending on the cost of copper these days. The real cost is usually in the SFP+ modules.

    Definitely do some research on the switches that you have before you buy the modules and cabling. Certain modules can be finicky with certain switches.

  • Do you have room to keep one quiet switch in the existing closet? Maybe mounted to the ceiling?

    Can you run 4 uplink cables from the closet to the basement?

    Fanless managed switches with 4x 10G uplink ports and at least 16x 1G access ports are reasonably cheap (minutes transceivers, of course). For example:

    If you can fit the cost into your budget, use CAT8 for your uplinks. That way if you ever do decide to upgrade your access network to 10G, you can bump your 4x uplink up to 25G without having to rewire.

    Not that you'll probably ever need that much bandwidth in a house in the next decade or two.

  • You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

    Oh, great! So it's going to restore all that state funding that universities used to get? The funding that student loans were used to make up after it was cut?

    No?

    Oh well.
