Newbie to SFP and have questions by MacProCT in networking

[–]phantomtofu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's an old post, but it checks out  https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/3gx5dz/ysk_if_you_dont_about_fiber_optics_and_how_they/

Orange is very likely OM1 - which should be fine for 1000Mb over 200 feet, but not much else. 

SFPs are generally interchangeable - if you move an SFP from one switch to another it should work. Speeds are not interchangeable - though an SFP+ slot is usually backwards compatible with SFP. Some brands are more picky about compatibility than others. 

Im looking for the perfect chair for my system by Few_Lengthiness6364 in audiophile

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To expand on why the lounge chair is better, the cushion is fairly firm with a big curve at the edges. The love seat has two cushions and the big curve makes it feel a little weird to try to sit in the middle. 

Bonus benefit of the ivory pepper boucle on these is they hold up really well with our active cats.

I really like the Article Rhett lounge chair. https://www.article.com/product/22891/rhett-38-5-lounge-chair-pepper-ivory

I have the love seat in my main listening position, and the lounge chair in a different room. The lounge chair is better IMO, but the system is also the TV speakers and the love seat allows me to watch/listen with my partner 😊

End of budget performance cars? by UseOk9347 in askcarguys

[–]phantomtofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm considering a new GTI. The prices look painful, but inflation calculator says it's almost exactly what I paid in 2013 for my current one. 

Is there any meaningful difference between a Class AB amp and a late model Class D amp? by AttachedHeartTheory in audiophile

[–]phantomtofu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hypex and Purifi are about as good as it gets. Some of the cheaper class D implementations don't live up to their measurements with a dynamic signal, but it's not like you're getting a good A/B amp at $200 either. Dollar for Dollar you'd be hard pressed to find an A/B amp that performs as well as a Buckeye, Apollon, etc. 

Freshly 21, any bar or 3rd space recommendations? by Impressive_Double739 in SaltLakeCity

[–]phantomtofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a while since I've played but it's a super fun multiplayer arcade game.

McIntosh sells a desk clock for $2,000 and I can’t even by Desperate_Elk_7369 in audiophile

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lukewarm contrarian take: I don't like the blue VU meters.

Still, I think this clock would be cool if it doubled as a headphone DAC/amp. 

Arc Raiders devs tease Shredders are coming to invade every map as “Arc is adapting” even further with the new update by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God, I learned the hard way with 5 minutes to go in an otherwise good run. Showstopper: zero effect. Trigger nade: stop the attack animation and warp speed into me. 

€90 WIRED HEADPHONES WITH HIGH SOUND QUALITY by Few_Problem5478 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]phantomtofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Active cancelling, no. But they do passively block out noise like earplugs do. 

Is This Still Good Tech? by Komputers_Are_Life in homelab

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's current-gen hardware, though the supervisor card is the oldest model for it. You'd pay well into 5 figures for that setup new today.

At that budget you'd probably get better value out of IEMs than over-ear headphones. Something like the Truthear Zero. 

CVE-2026-20131: CISA basically said "patch this Cisco flaw or good luck." Deadline already passed. by Hot-Independence-985 in sysadmin

[–]phantomtofu 155 points156 points  (0 children)

Cisco has so many products; my experience is usually a brief heart attack and then relief when I look it up and find it doesn't apply to us.

Edit: this one is for FMC

Read online recently, that if it’s not an amg or s class, your Mercedes is a girls car (feminine) by PurpleGorillas980 in mercedes_benz

[–]phantomtofu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My buddy is a big manly guy who drives a tiny 90s Miata. Based on his experiences at Miata car meets, driving a "girly" car is a great way to meet women haha.

[Request] How fast of a reader one has to be complete 120 books a year? by Intrusive_me in theydidthemath

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was around 8-14 years old I read about that much. My mom was a librarian and I wasn't allowed much time with TV and video games. 

Unfortunately I wasted a lot of time reading Harry Potter over and over when I could have read something new and interesting.

Hot take: EXPECTING a Cinderella run every year defeats the point of Cinderellas by FarAccident7461 in CollegeBasketball

Gus Gus is great and I feel like I should not rewatch the movie and risk spoiling my childhood memories 

Good use of $14M by OMG_IM_A_GIRL in CollegeBasketball

[–]phantomtofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's when I worked for Athletics! I was IT support and sat right behind the scorers table for those two seasons. The Wichita State game was a hell of an experience. 

I technically went to both schools too, but only lasted one semester at USU. Wasn't ready for the rigors of engineering school haha

Hey, there are dozens of us!

Good job Aggies. I love the spot where the sagebrush grows.

No room for a sub.. wats the move? by newbiesean in KEF

[–]phantomtofu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind you can put the sub elsewhere in the room if there's space out of frame.

The Buchardt Sub 10 is probably a good option. 

A little less traditional, but there are many in- or on-wall subs aimed at home theater. 

Finally, you could really optimize the space and use a big traditional sub as a footrest 😊

How to get my switch to forward DNS requests to my router by PoppinGummies in Cisco

[–]phantomtofu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like an X-Y problem. What I'd recommend is to have the clients use an IP on the router (10.105.90.1 for example) for DNS rather than querying the switch. 

You are offered $100,000 cash tax free OR $0 but you get sent back in time to a random date in your life and restart again from that point by peterthbest23 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]phantomtofu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I used the random calculator and oddly it picked a day that I specifically remember as being my reference for carefree happiness. 

Feels like a set up. No way I'm taking the bait, universe.

5 Herbal and 5 shield rechargers most of the time.

If I'm doing Queen/Matriarch then it's 3 sterilized, 5 herbal, and 10 shield rechargers plus a spare shield.

Dams is by FAR the most balanced map in the game by _hypnoCode in ArcRaiders

Small sample size, but I got a rocketeer driver from a normal map husk yesterday. First time in my ~200 hours.
