  1. Ars Technica: New undersea cable cutter risks Internet’s backbone. “A Chinese ship has tested a new device capable of slicing through submarine data cables thousands of meters beneath the ocean surface. That demonstration may exacerbate security concerns over a spate of suspected sabotage incidents targeting undersea communications and power cables from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean.”

  6. Okay, new fiber to the office is in the conduit and the old fiber (both the working multi-mode fiber and the too-short single-mode fiber)'s all bundled up and put away! That took forever, but it was worth it! And hey, that's one more SFP+ port open on my Brocade ICX-7250 switch, since now the office is on the same breakout cable from the Mellanox SX6036 as the living room!

  9. Genuinely so chuffed with what we got done today. And there’s nothing more zen than threading cables around an apartment. #HomeAutomation #Cabling

  14. Finished cleaning up the cabling and getting the Beelink properly installed in the minirack. Overall, I miss the Pis because they looked pretty cool, but I'm not gonna complain: this looks pretty good as well.

    The doggo wasn't quite as impressed.

  19. #tech #usb #cabling #random #thoughts In the mists of time cables were frequently shielded twisted single fibre copper wire until they were soldered into a jack plug or USB connector. Used in a variety of situations from charging to unit to unit connectivity. Now it seems totally random twisted copper and very iffy at either USB end. I know it's material and labour intensive but I'd pay the difference, Over the course of the last year I've 'burnt through' at least 12 such cables. #justsaying

  24. No matter how much you plan, you WILL need to pass another #cat6 #cable for #ethernet
    In this case, I have two #PoE devices (a camera and an access point) and I don't want to spend 100€ on a PoE passthrough switch (plus the energy it will consume from now on...)
