The issue here isn't about charity for the less fortunate. Many of the people begging make a decent living (from begging), and moreso than those working shitty service jobs. I don't want to give money to someone that dresses homeless and puts on an act. I would happily give money to anyone that genuinely doesn't know where they will sleep next week, or where their next meal is coming from.

The problem is that I'm not in a position to evaluate that. As such, I would rather give money to food banks and the like, since they are in a better position for that.

Searching through the trash means they genuinely need the money, and are willing to work for it. That's worth something.

ARM wasn't a sudden shift. 15 years ago it was clearly not going to be going away, simply due to energy efficiency needs. Intel responded with the Atom line, which was widely panned. Once it failed, Intel seemingly decided to skip that entire market.

By definition, to win a Darwin award you must remove yourself from the gene pool. Usually that means killed, but sometimes means accidentally sterilized.

AFAICT, the guy survived, so no Darwin award.

It only seems logical that Lorde would have that talent.

Lots of songs are composed on piano, regardless of the final instruments.

Voter intimidation is a lot harder when the voter doesn't have to physically be there in a narrow window of time.

Kroger owns a bunch of other brands. Do you have one of them in your market, and it's just a branding difference?

While true, part of being a doctor is empathy and showing dignity to all of your patients. That includes the ones you detest, whether they be hippies, pregnant teens, atheists, or Nazis.

It's unfortunate that they are unable to voice their personal opinions outside of a medical situation. This is only going to get worse with basic statements of fact being politicized.

Watts per hour isn't a thing. Watts is already a measurement of rate. 67 watts, running for 24 hours, is 1.608 kilowatt-hours.

The rest of your math checks out, assuming no hidden "distribution" or "transmission" fees (like I have).

For anyone unaware, the gallon size of condiments (mayo, ranch dressing, hot sauce, etc) is typically for food service. IOW, restaurants and the like.

That said, there's nothing stopping individuals from getting it, so the point is still valid.

 

I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

Current existing hardware:

  • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
  • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
  • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
  • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
  • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

  • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
  • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
  • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
  • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
