  • For home use (and small uses at work) I’ve found cyberpower to be cheaper than APC and yet work as well. You’d likely need to get a model with a network card option, and that’ll cost more I think. I’m not in EU though, so IDK what model would meet your needs and price point (which seems pretty low to me for a network enabled UPS).







  • Well, what you could do is run a DNS server so you don’t need to deal with IPs. You could likely adjust ports for whatever server to be 443 or 80 depending on if you’re internal only or need SSL. Also, something like zerotier won’t route your whole connection through your home internet if you set it up correctly, consider split tunneling. With something like zerotier it’ll only route the zerotier network you create for your devices.





  • Yea, I think 2.5G is really searching for a market, that may not exist. For home use, 1Gbit is in general plenty fast enough, and maxes out most US customers Internet too. For enterprise use 10G is common and cheap. The cards to get an SFP+ port into any tower or server is just really small. Enterprise is considering how to do 100G core cheaply enough, and looking for at least 25G on performance servers, if not also 100G in some cases. If you’ve got the budget you can roll 400G core right now in “not insane pricing”.

    2.5G to the generic office (that might well be remote) is likely re-wiring and unnecessary. And that’s if you don’t find ac WiFi sufficient, i.e. sub 1G.



  • Ok but marketing teams and micro transactions teams to get rich have fuck all to do with k8s or clusters to run lots of data quickly over the network.

    Maybe you know some magic way to provide high availability for petabytes of data pushed at hundreds of Gigabits per second to millions of simultaneous connections. But I don’t. And I work with large data volumes for research that still are a fraction of Netflix data and throughput and we’ve hit the limit of single high performance storage devices necessitating a ceph cluster for storage and availability.


  • I can’t speak to k8s but there are reasons you need clusters to handle absurd amounts of data with high uptime and high networking performance.

    The reason the streamers are creating their own content is licensing breakdowns and copyright law. I don’t know why everyone thinks they can out Netflix the Netflix streaming service, but they also think they’ll make more money trying to do it. It’s like Amazon deciding to somehow make their delivery system better than UPS. Or cheaper.

    I think it either calls into question the supposed economies of scale and core business competency theories or they’re not doing it to save money / make money at all.
