@tracketpacer Another fun fact, it you soak the cords in a tub of olive oil before attaching, it'll lubricate them so that the packets slide even faster.
@SecurityWriter@tracketpacer I always thought MTU was “Maximum Tilt Units” so I set mine to 360, but I now see the error of my ways - 45 would be MuCH better slope!
@tracketpacer Thanks. I realised that if I shake my router, performance is much better. This is because the inside of the motherboard has this lubrication in it to make the bits flow smoothly, and if you don't shake it once in a while it can dry up and the bits get stuck.
They used to have routers with a built-in shaker, but Big Network hit the technology to get people to buy more hardware.
@tracketpacer obviously ok in the home lab but In enterprise datacentres all switchs are mounted in the ceiling with ports facing the floor for layer 12 gravametric off loading. Also known as packet rain.
@tracketpacer that’s well done. But be sure not to leave the cables unplugged for long to minimize the amount of bits that fall on the floor.
Also, I have heard that if you get a long etternet cable and coil it into loops, it’ll act like a particle accelerator for packets and the latency goes way down.
@jerry@tracketpacer Everyone's talking about packet speed, this is so overrated. Data transfer is where the money is at. You plug one end, disconnect the cable, seal it at the other end and throw it to the other person across the room. It's cheaper than ssds and lasts longer. The data may be a bit mingled after the throw, but it's not that big of a deal.
