  1. This week's exciting forays into computing:

    🟠 Finally replaced Windows 11 with Debian on my main computer.

    🟠 Got one of my many Raspberry Pis to boot entirely from the network greatly reducing my use of stupid SD cards or expensive NVME drives.

    🟠 Related to the above, started building my own smart doorbell where no data leaves my network.

    🟠 Re-learned the ancient art of making network cables.

    How was your week?

  6. If you can tell what’s wrong here, I feel sorry for you. I also feel sorry for me, because I have at least two of these. 🫠😞😭

  11. Learning by doing here… The first set of RJ45 connectors I bought had individual holes for each wire sort of arranged in a double deck.

    The second set (shielded) has an open, zig zagish shape. WOW so much easier to thread the wires through this design.

    If you are going to be doing any hardwiring, get the zigzag ones. 🤩

  16. We discovered an unused and (at the remote end) unterminated #CAT6A cable between the two buildings. After some cable debugging (the terminated end at the patch panel had one missing connection), I mounted new #keystones at both ends and thus we could remove the 60GHz PtP APs.

  19. I’m in the process of re architecting my home lab and network. It’s been too long since I did too much exciting with it.

    So far I’ve ripped out my #ubnt #usg and replaced with #pfsense. Ram #cat6a everywhere. About to order a 10Gb switch and upgrade to wifi 6.

    #homeassistant is on a dedicated network with all sorts of fun going on.

    Anything exciting I should be looking into?

  29. Having an afternoon with the youngest of my two boys watching #Sonic on a lazy day with #snacks, #dogs and dressing gowns. 😁👍

    And yes, the eagle eyed fellow nerds will indeed notice the big ass reel of #CAT6A...
