The image that has been burned into my brain since I was 5

If you're going to run fiber cables, run two or three. At least two.

You don't want to do that twice if you don't have to. And if you need to troubleshoot your layer 1 at some point in the future, it's a lot less frustrating to have a good spare versus having to run more later just for testing.

I would go with 2 in aggregate (if you have the ports) + 1 spare.

But yes, fiber would definitely be a better option if you have enough clearance to run it without kinking it. Might even be cheaper depending on the cost of copper these days. The real cost is usually in the SFP+ modules.

Definitely do some research on the switches that you have before you buy the modules and cabling. Certain modules can be finicky with certain switches.

Do you have room to keep one quiet switch in the existing closet? Maybe mounted to the ceiling?

Can you run 4 uplink cables from the closet to the basement?

Fanless managed switches with 4x 10G uplink ports and at least 16x 1G access ports are reasonably cheap (minutes transceivers, of course). For example:

If you can fit the cost into your budget, use CAT8 for your uplinks. That way if you ever do decide to upgrade your access network to 10G, you can bump your 4x uplink up to 25G without having to rewire.

Not that you'll probably ever need that much bandwidth in a house in the next decade or two.

If someone really cares, they'd jump on the platform I use or they don't.

What do you do when they feel the same way and don't understand why you think you're worth so much extra time and effort to interact with compared to everyone else?

Do you just cut those people out of your life?

The US is cheap. We even famously have large gaps between the door/stall panels. I can only imagine it is to accommodate temperature/humidity changes so that they don't jam.

Nicer places sometimes have actual deadbolt locks connected to a vacant/occupied indicator on the exterior. But it is rare. Usually it's just a gapped stall with a sliding lock that will often not even line up correctly without wiggling the door.

In some instances I have had to use my gym key fob in place of the missing sliding mechanism to secure the door.

Some do. Most are too cheap to bother.

Does that make Vulcan Taiwan?

The actor who portrayed him was also RDA's stunt man in both SG-1 and MacGyver.

It became a lot more obvious when RDA greyed and Dan Shea didn't.

I also pay for YouTube. I just don't normally bring it up because it usually results in a lot of rather unpleasant replies.

It's fascinating, really.

Google gets a lot of hate for being a data collection behemoth. The whole "if you aren't paying, you are the product" thing. And rightfully so.

And pirates love to say that if companies would just charge a reasonable rate for an easy-to-use service, then they would just pay instead of pirating.

But when it comes to YouTube, a lot of people seem to want to have it both ways.

Have you tried the built-in recorder from the game bar?

Interesting coincidence that Tom Paris and Not Tom Paris both have a penchant for designing ships

That's from Stargate SG-1. The conversation is between Hammond and Siler.

Small g, son.

In pure form it turned out to be an insulator
