You are given a a million dollars if you can spend it in one day. The transaction has to be finished that day, so no houses or similar. What do you buy?
  • Is this a "Brewster's Millions" scenario, where it has to be wasted, or do you just have to buy a bunch of crap?

    Also, I'm presuming you aren't counting time for the check/etc to clear. Otherwise, very few of us could ever even conceivably make that level of transaction.

  • Democratic Senator Mark Kelly to let go of his Tesla over Musk’s federal cuts
  • An electrified future would be the only silver lining that can come from all of this, even if it is from swastikars. The chargers (going forward) are standardized and universal, so the infrastructure will work for others as well.

  • What's Working (Or Not) On Our Ford F150 Lightning After 1 Year and 10,000 Miles!
  • 24 minutes, yikes!

    TL;DW:

    • Ford Home charger is a POS that's never worked right. Long-term escalation to engineering, still not fixed.
    • Roof gets stuck and won't always close
    • Charge port door sagging
    • Suspension recall was a pain in the ass
  • You have the power to remove one song from existence and nobody will remember it. What song do you choose?
  • The idea is to get people to click random and unhelpful links. The song is mildly annoying, but otherwise harmless.

    Earlier practice was to link to a shock site. The best known was goatse, but tubgirl and lemon party were also common.

  • You have the power to remove one song from existence and nobody will remember it. What song do you choose?
  • This must be regional. I've never heard the song, nor the title. Only the very end sounded familiar, and that was from Looney tunes.

    That said, not many people around here had cell phones in the 90s, and even fewer used them with enough regularity to notice their ringtone beyond the fact that it was ringing.

  • Can Donald Trump Arbitrarily Take Money from Anyone’s Bank Account?
  • You're glossing over the most important word:

    The payment was made just before everything got DOGEd

    It was a valid payment, not made in error. They decided after the fact that they didn't like the valid payment, and reversed it. This likely involved fraud, because that's not a valid reason to reverse a payment.

    10GbE / Getting started with fiber

    I'm looking to upgrade some of my internal systems to 10 gigabit, and seeing some patchy/conflicting/outdated info. Does anyone have any experience with local fiber? This would be entirely isolated to within my LAN, to enable faster access to my fileserver.

    Current existing hardware:

    • MikroTik CSS326-24G-2S+RM, featuring 2 SFP+ ports capable of 10GbE
    • File server with a consumer-grade desktop PC motherboard. I have multiple options for this one going forward, but all will have at least 1 open PCIe x4+ slot
    • This file server already has an LSI SAS x8 card connected to an external DAS
    • Additional consumer-grade desktop PC, also featuring an open PCIe x4 slot.
    • Physical access to run a fiber cable through the ceiling/walls

    My primary goal is to have these connected as fast as possible to each other, while also allowing access to the rest of the LAN. I'm reluctant to use Cat6a (which is what these are currently using) due to reports of excessive heat and instability from the SFP+ modules.

    As such, I'm willing to run some fiber cables. Here is my current plan, mostly sourced from FS:

    • 2x Supermicro AOC-STGN-i2S / AOC-STGN-i1S (sourced from eBay)
    • 2x Intel E10GSFPSR Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85 for the NIC side)
    • 2x Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G Compatible 10GBASE-SR SFP+ 850nm 300m DOM Duplex LC/UPC MMF Optical Transceiver Module (FS P/N: SFP-10GSR-85, for the switch side)
    • 2x 15m (49ft) Fiber Patch Cable, LC UPC to LC UPC, Duplex, 2 Fibers, Multimode (OM4), Riser (OFNR), 2.0mm, Tight-Buffered, Aqua (FS P/N: OM4LCDX)

    I know the cards are x8, but it seems that's only needed to max out both ports. I will only be using one port on each card.

    Are fiber keystone jacks/couplers (FS P/N: KJ-OM4LCDX) a bad idea?

    Am I missing something completely? Are these even compatible with each other? I chose Ubiquti for the switch SFP+ since Mikrotik doesn't vendor-lock, AFAICT.
