Gassing up is different with an EV...

@feld oh those have become much more affordable; last I checked they were still around a kilobuck USD.

I've pondered if getting a GPU-dock sans card would be similarly cost-effective.

@feld Also why wouldn't you put an SFP+ cage there? the latency on copper is higher.

@johnefrancis We're already a DSL wholesaler with ßELL so this is a logical next step.

Odds are I won't initially offer more than 500MBit, not because nobody needs it, but because we only have so much capacity today, but I have $$$ earmarked for this development. We're ready to figure out how to move quickly.

CRTC Mandating FTTP access to wholesale ISPs (like me!) in 6 months! Rates to be adjusted later, but it's finally happening: https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2023/2023-358.htm

Well this is exciting! https://www.canada.ca/en/radio-television-telecommunications/news/2023/11/crtc-takes-action-to-increase-choice-and-affordability-of-high-speed-internet.html

@johnefrancis y’Also know I have a Sun E450 for a nighttable? Still looking for another to make a matched set.

GF is less on board with this plan.

@johnefrancis “nobody understands EBCDIC”

@johnefrancis Is this where I get to pull out my example of how, as a summer student, in 3 weeks I did the job of a dozen-person department, with perl? Taking a 250 hour ETL process down to like... 40-60? And I did this in my spare time. Pro-tip: don't do your EBCDIC->ASCII conversion on the legacy hardware, while the multicore DB server is waiting.

Probably 60-80 lines of perl.

@mwl isn't that linked to ~ ? 🫣

@feld what even?

The only Powered USB-C Hub with >4 ports that I can find is $1200USD. (For industrial use) (see: https://acroname.com/store/programmable-industrial-power-delivery-hub-s99-usbhub-3c-pro )

I don't need to power 8 laptops, but I'd like to charge my phone/tablet/headset/etc and USB-C hubs don't seem to exist. Just USB-A with a couple USB-C ports.

Ideas?

@Auxonic both/either/yes

I just need more USB-C ports. Some with big Power Delivery, some with data, some with small PD, some without.

We just bought a house, I don't have time for moving anymore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyxBE163n20

@feld 10G over twisted-pair is a joke. And a PITA.

@johnefrancis @Auxonic mine has wheels =D

I didn't realize InstantPot was acquired by HPE Aruba networks
