Engadget: How To Safely Recycle Your Old USB Cables . “It’s important to recycle your old cables instead of throwing them in the garbage for the same reason it’s crucial to recycle all electronics: If thrown out, they can be buried in a landfill or burned, and many have plastics or rubber that can release harmful substances, causing pollution…. So, before you toss an old USB cable in the […]

Marine Technology News: New Google Transatlantic Cable Connects Portugal with the US. “Alphabet’s Google has successfully connected a new transatlantic subsea cable to Sines in Portugal, it said on Tuesday, adding another U.S.-Europe data route as demand for cloud computing and artificial intelligence services surges.”

I might be a nerd, but I'm fascinated by the thought of the journey my data takes inside my house.

The router is downstairs and is connected via a 10 Gbps fiber link to the upper floor, and to an access point whose cable goes directly upstairs (a relic of old telephone lines that I ripped out during the Covid lockdowns). It’s powered via PoE by the router itself.

Upstairs, on the other end of the fiber, there is a 2.5 Gbps switch. Connected to it are another access point in the same room, various devices, and a cable going into the attic, where the temperature is exceeding 40°C these days. Up there is a PoE switch installed in 2020. For years it was powered via PoE and in turn powered another access point; now I've put a power supply up there, and it distributes the network to other parts of the house, as well as to another access point (which it powers via PoE) in another corner of the medium floor.

In the garage, far away from everything, there's a device without Wi-Fi that I need to reach. Also back in 2020, I set up a MikroTik mAP lite acting as a station and router, allowing the device to be reached.

Right now, I can connect to the device downstairs: I'm on the access point that goes straight into the router, so down one floor, from there it goes up to the switch in the study, up one floor, which in turn goes up to the switch in the scorching hot attic, upper floor, from there it goes back down to the other access point on this floor, and the device in the garage gets its signal from there. Effectively, it's just a few meters from the router, same floor, but it travels through the entire house.

Yes, I'm a nerd, and I'm proud of it.

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.”

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!

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.

#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

If you get the chance, always run more extra network fiber cabling

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.”

I had fun attaching an RJ-45 to the cat5e cable. Glad it worked tho. :>

I want to run an Ethernet cable upstairs.There's a unused aerial cable that already does that (goes up a hole in the lounge room ceiling into the room upstairs). Going to presume the best way to thread the Ethernet cable through that existing hole is to tie is to the aerial end then go upstairs and pull that old aerial cable and the Ethernet cable tied to it up?
What could possibly go wrong? (is it everything?) #Ethernet #cabling #DIY #DIWhy

@goatsarah I see your smirky sailor, and raise you a smirky stageworker / theater lighting tech.

It's definitely one of those skills when you see someone doing it wrong it's a hard fight not to fling yourself across the room and tackle them "NO NO NO NO NO! WRONG WRONG WRONG! GIMME THAT"

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.
