#Ethernet

3 posts3 participants0 posts today

Everyone and their mom has a #Wifi232 to get their #VintageComputer online, but I wounder if there's a #wired (#LAN) option instead.

Background: In my area, 2,4 GHz WiFi is so overcrowded that it's basically unuseable and also because Ethernet is more reliable.

I don't mind if it looks like a MAU but with like a unmanaged 4-port Gigiabit Switch for #10Base2 / #10Base5 - lookalike "passthrough" and internal 10 MBit/s port so it can be used to directly link units or be hooked up to a switch. Similar to FriendlyNet

So technically it's closer to a DEC DELNI than real AUI but if someone wants to implement an #AUI and even add a an AAUI adaptor cable I'm not gonna tell anyone not to.

Broadcom: Ethernet-Chip mit ultra niedriger Latenz für riesige KI-Cluster

Broadcom stellt einen Ethernet-Switch-Chip mit niedriger Latenz und 51,2 Tbit/s Transferrate vor: ein Angriff auf Nvidias proprietäre KI-Cluster-Technik.

@lea TBH, I think it's a fundamental mistake that vendors use #RJ45/ #8p8c connectors for #RS232.

UnFUG Mastodon4censord :nfp: (@4censord@unfug.social)@lea@lea.pet but serial over rj45 is amazing, then i can patch it through to my desk instead of going down to the network closet

@lymenzies From my own experience I can tell that even the Original #RaspberryPi and #PiZero can run #RaspberryPiOS all day long and will run circles around the orginal #EeePC701, only getting beaten by the #Vaio #P11Z when it comes to #RAM and #IO options.

  • Granted a #CM4 or #CM5 with > 2GB RAM will shift the tides but those alone cost more than a used #Wyse3040 and #upcycling a #ThinClient into something like a tiny luggable is propably more budget friendly and useful anyway, espechally since built-in Gigabit #Ethernet and #USB 3.0 really kick ass, so you'd propably be better served doing some #PoE / Wide-Range DC-in & battery setup to make good use of the oversized build volume at hand.

  • Maybe take some "THICC" 21700 LiFePO4 cells or one of those #LiFePO4 motorcycle batteries for a spin? Pretty shure that you can sqeeze battery runtime measured in DAYS out of it without much tweaking.

Fosstodonlymenzies (@lymenzies@fosstodon.org)@kkarhan@infosec.space I see pi zero on the list. It would be amazing to actually do something useful with these. I have several and they are excruciatingly slow. Hard to believe I used to use Linux on a 386 with 4MB of RAM, but maybe I was more patient then. I'll try building OS1337 when I have a moment.

Wenn wer Ärger mit dem #NetworkManager im #AccessPoint Mode hat oder #DHCP, #DNS upstream, DNS port usw. individuell einstellen will...
...ich kann jetzt qualifiziert helfen...🙈

Kein Witz - ich habe sowohl im NetworkManager als auch #dnsmasq jede verfluchte Zeile im Code gelesen und verstanden die das Zusammenspiel beider Dienste im AP-Mode betrifft...

Von 06:00 bis jetzt #NetworkManager Sourcen gelesen...😍 🤷‍♂️

Gestern habe ich 12h versucht meine Fragen mittels der Manuals und Foren beantworten zu können.
Ich bin in den #Sourcen (plain #C) so viel schneller und effektiver - all dieses blöde BlaBla in Handbüchern - ich kann das einfach nicht mit meinem #AuDHS.

@ChrisPirillo I remember when some #TechYoutuber showcased one.
