  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. 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...)

  7. The Register: Altnets told to stop digging and start stuffing fiber through abandoned pipes. “Network operators laying fiber infrastructure could cut their costs by taking advantage of ‘thousands of miles’ of abandoned infrastructure, including gas and water pipes, according to a firm that tracks such things.”

  8. Part-timer (me) vs BT "engineer". Which is which?

    My work isn't the neatest, but some of this supposedly professional work we've had done at this place is something else.

  9. My weekend project - labeling and upgrading all the #RG59 cables and wall plates in our 65 year old house. Ran a brand new, shorter, and more direct cable to our #CableModem and the signal is vastly improved as you can see in the second picture. Venturing into in the dusty crawl space was well worth it! #HomeInternet #DOCSIS #cough #WhoInstalledThis #cabling #sneeze
