    I somewhat disagree that you have to be a data hoarder for 10G to be worth it. For example I’ve got a headless steam client on my server that has my larger games installed (all in all ~2TB so not in data hoarder territories) which allows me to install and update those games at ~8 Gbit/s. Which in turn allows me to run a leaner Desktop PC since I can just uninstall the larger games as soon as I don’t play them daily anymore and saves me time when Steam inevitably fails to auto update a game on my Desktop before I want to play it.

    Arguably a niche use case but it exists along side other such niche use cases. So if someone comes into this community and asks about how best to implement 10G networking I will assume they (at least think) have such a use case on their hands and want to improve that situation a bit.



  • Personally going 10G on my networking stuff has significantly improved my experience with self-hosting, especially when it comes to file transfers. 1G can just be extremely slow when you’re dealing with large amounts of data so I also don’t really understand why people recommend against 10G here of all places.

    If I buy a switch and that thing decides to give me downtime in order to auto update I can tell you what lands on my blacklist. Auto-Updates absoultely increase security but there are certain use cases where they are more of a hindrance than a feature, want proof? Not even Cisco does Auto-Update by default (from what I’ve managed to find in this short time neither does TrendNet which you’ve been speaking well of). The device on its own deciding to just fuck off and pull down your network is not in any way a feature their customers would want. If you don’t want the (slight) maintenance load that comes with an active switch do not get one, get a passive one instead.

    So first of all I see no point in sharing multiple articles that contain the same copy-pasted info, one of those would have been enough. That aside, again, patches were made available before the vulnerability was published and things like MikroTik not pushing Updates being arguably more of a feature since automatic updates cause network downtime via a reboot and that would be somewhat problematic for networking equipment. Could they have handled that better? Yes, you can almost always handle vulnerabilities better but their handling of it was not so eggregious as to warrant completely avoiding them in the future.

    Can you elaborate on how their response was lacking? From what I found the stable branch had a patch for that vulnerability available for several months before the first report while the lts branch had one available a week before the first article (arguably a brief period to wait before releasing news about the vulnerability but not unheard of either).

    MikroTik also offers a 2 year warranty since they legally have to, no idea what you’re on about there. Also also not sure what you think they sell other than networking because for the life of me I can’t find anything other than networking related stuff on their website.








  • Man I was just wondering where this thread was.

    Lovely to see Akutsu get on her friends’ nerves with her lovey-dovey behaviour, even more lovely to see them suffer through it and support her. Slightly related: 18+ Spinoff wen?

    The author seemingly kicked the plot into gear recently, now my only complaint is that the chapters are too short and/or too infrequent. Which as far as problems with Manga go is a pretty good problem to have.





  • Coming from the absolutely unexpected confession last episode this feels… weird. I expected some form of friction to still be there but no it seems like both of their wants and desires line up quite well but on the other hand this outcome makes much more sense given how both of them have been portrayed so far. Marin doesn’t even have a cosplay account so her prioritizing cosplay itself over the attention it gets her is nothing new really. Whereas with Gojo we’re well past the point of knowing Hina dolls are no longer priority #1 in his life.

    For all I care this can devolve into nothing more than diabetes inducing fluff without any of the supporting cast but I think we still have some more regular plot available with the semi-ongoing references to the “Mandate of Heaven” author positively reacting to Marin’s cosplay of Haniel. Gut feeling say they’ll do one final cosplay as a couple going completely all out and then we’ll get a nice happy end. I’ll be happy to be proven wrong if even more plot to follows though.
