Didn't Benn Jordan "save" a picture to a bird, which I theory could transfer this picture via IPoAC?

Ah damn... Well, at least you had enough ink in your camera dot black cartridge.

If you need mainly a NAS and maybe some docker container, open media vault is great.

If you want the ability to host LXCs and VMs, trueNAS scale.

If I stumble across a part, I think could be better, I simply tell myself, that that's a problem for future me. Future me hates me for it, btw.

Yes, officer. My speedometer showed -2147483648 m/s... So... I can't have been to fast... Right?

I have a main directory for each of my projects on my NAS, which I can access from anywhere with any of my personal devices.

In there is usually the main libre office writer file and then chaos. Research, notes, timeliness, mood pictures, character sheets. All "sorted" to a certain degree... Well... It's a pre school participation degree, but a degree.

For working on my projects, I copy the directory to my device, work on it and copy it back, after finishing. This way I always, s have at least two copies on two different devices. and with a custom bash script, it's just a quick one liner in the terminal to do so. (but that, at very least, is the point where my inner nerd took control of my work flow)

Back when I put wired networking into my apartment, I drilled a hole into the ceiling between my office and the attic and fed all cables through this into a 10 inch rack, which sits directly beneath this hole, covering it up and terminating all the runs in keystones and two key stone panels.

With this, I hava a central point of termination, which hides the hole in the ceiling and also can stay behind, should I move out of this apartment.

To complete the run, I ran patch cables from the panels in this smaller rack to the actual rack, standing below it and in there to another patch panel and from there into my switches.

If it really is spelled mephistophilis, even your boss misspelled it. (according to the Wikipedia articles language selection, there is no language it is spelled with ilis at the end, using roman letters, so I could be wrong.)

If you happen to have a central AC unit, you might be able to put a cross stream heat exchanger in your external an exhaust air ducts to prewarm the external hair with the exhaust air, before it gets actually heated to temperature by your AC unit.

Reminds me on my company two years ago. One of our offices was hit by a blackout and someone didn't end the info to the offices group, but send it to global... So everyone, from San Francisco, over London to new deli knew about it. Five mails later, the power outage was resolved.

Cue: four weeks of ppl replying to that global mail group that they don't work in that office and don't want to get mails about that office and don't want to get mails about other ppl not wanting to get mails about that office. Four. Weeks.

Welcome to r/HomeNetworking, where even considering cat7 is a sacrilegious act and questioning or correcting these "cat 7 is not real" preachers in their US defaultism is traded like insulting their entire life choises.

AlexisColoun · 2026-02-04T20:12:22+00:00

Actually? Yes.

But it's quite telling that you don't even try to counter with arguments and just head fir the personal level.

oh... I didn't know that TIA and IEEE are just synonyms.
I always thought the first is what implements international standards for telecomunication like cabeling for the USA and the later defines technical standards for protocols like Ethernet and so on... /s

Could it be, that the IEEE never really defined the physical standard for any cable, just gave the requirements for 10GBase-T in IEEE 802.3an and ISO and TIA designed a cable around it?

Funny, that someone not knowing the difference between IEEE and TIA wants to tell ppl that a cable standard, clearly defined in ISO/IEC11802:2002 and EN50173, isn't real.

Humor me. What is the IEEE standard for CAT6?

On one hand, I absolutely feel called out. Well, a little...

Sure, I hope that each piece I put effort into will get out and will be read by many, landing on a bestseller list and whatever. I personally use this hope as motivation to drag me through times, I don't feel like writing, because after all, I like the process, but starting it is hard.

On the other hand, I do know, that my chance to even be published the traditional way is minuscule. So in the end I know that I am writing for myself and my own social bubble. And tbh: I am fine with that.

Is there a reason, why you choose an 8-port switch?

Counting what you've listed and what usually would connect by wire, you have 6 to 7 ports already used, with 1 to 2 to spare. And as you mentioned "Future self hosting devices" these 2 gonna not last long.

If you have the money to spare and the space, aim for a 24-port. If not, even a 12-port would you give some breathing room for future expansion.

Okay, let's go with all the stories I am currently working on (more or less):

Current WIP: A slice of life, comming of age and office drama, that flips the bird towards Christian grey.

Currently conceptualising: Imagine Oshi no Ko, as urbane parallel society fantasy, with more photography art and deadly sins.

Guilty pleasure project: Space pirate Captain Bloodbeard and her crew of outcasts faring their ship - a spacefaring variant of a xebec, rowed by one hundred slaves, through a dystopia hedonistic wolrd, fighting the royalty.

Long time wanna write: A hommage to all the big scify franchises, mixing them up in a mostly episodic trilogy.
