  1. Fibre-Optic Curiosity Poll: people who deploy single-mode point-to-point fibre links (any distance beyond inside a datacenter), do you use two-strand optics, or single-strand with two colours? Please #boost!

    I very much lean on Bi-Di optics since I figure there's half the amount of OSP cable to go wrong, and swapping failed optics is MUCH easier than splicing a bad strand in an inaccessible flooded underground vault that's on fire.

    Let me know in the comments what you do, and why.

    [Note top-of-rack/intra-rack and in-datacenter is NOT what I'm asking about that. That's the realm of MMF and DACs.]

    Additionally I'm wondering about NNIs and medium-haul 100G+ links, since bidi there is LESS common, but is beginning to happen. LR4 -> LR2 <- LR1???

  11. There are a lots of alternatives to discord.

    IRC is essentially the same thing as textchannels on discord. For speech you can use teamspeak, or mumble.

    You can also set up a forum using phpbb, or simple machines forum. All you need is a webhost that supports PHP, and MySQL.

  25. Just so everyone knows, I'm still alive and kicking!

    I've been deep in development work, creating an enterprise-level donation plugin for #SimpleMachinesForum. Once it's complete and fully tested on my own site, I plan to release it to the #SMF community free of charge.

    For #trans #POC people, or anyone else — here's an image of a #black and #brown phoenix with trans flag color wings, please feel free to use it however you'd like — I created it with AI and it's yours to take.
