That is some knowledge I wish I never learned.

Thanks, I think I got 24awg cca before I swapped them to pure copper, and now I also think, I wanna re crimp all of my connectors using staggered ones lol

Also learned this the hard way, when i was starting my “homelab” , I bought a box of (not knowingly that its bad) cheap CCA(copper clad alum) cat6 cables and im wondering why are my access points not negotiating to gigabit, turns out cca are trash and shouldn’t be used on POE or even on high speed trunks, learned my lesson now and swapped my cables to pure copper, they are more expensive like 100$ more expensive but at least they do the job.

I agree with what you’ve said about enforcement and also as an ex smoker 🤝

However, I don’t agree with total ban of stinkies and vapes, etc(as much as i also would like to) because it will cause a fuck ton of new problems, just look at US alcohol prohibition during 1920s and wow, that was wild (feel free to watch oversimplified video about it, i find it as a good reference material)

Neat, I’ll admit that im a bit late with vpn bandwagon, I’ve been fiddling around with dynamic dns and prays to the network gods that my LAN wont encounter some replicating malware or nasty stuff (although im monitoring it and has logs). And yea, wow, this thing is fast and easy.

Omg its seems its working with cgnat, ill give this a try

I got 2 q+ tv boxes running armbian for h6

1st one runs as my dns server + sinkhole via technitium (pihole is a bit janky on them idk why) 2nd one runs as my unifi controller + samba fileserver + torrent downloader

Reason why i went with this is because they are cheaper than sbc or 2nd hand laptop

Fun part is that they are running at 20w/h in total
