For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on KZfaq.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

Mount it sideways so it can breath - thanks for the video! Have great day!

:-) "breath" I think you are giving this cheap chinese switch a bit to much AI credit... :-) I know what you mean...

you need more monitoring and a flat floor in the bunker but it is progressing - 2.5 is a good addition with jumbo frames you should get 230mb/s or so, do add hepa pos pressure vent and that will take care of humidity issues when coupled with dehumidifer

cheap D-Link work well and also their managed ones are very cheap. Also, Mikrotik are a bit more expensive but you have good optioins with SFP/SFP+

If you add up all the stuff I wanted for this switch,, the options got very limited. 10Gbit uplink SFP+ uplink Minimum 8 ports of minimum 1Gbit ports Managed Fit in my tiny rack. (this did not fit where I wanted it but still) Affordable (this is a for fun project,, trying to keep the prices down)

Great video Morten… Maybe you find DC/DC power supplies for the switch and the de-humidifier so you can switch of the AC part of the battery- avoidance of switching/conversion loss Would be fun to see

@MyPlayHouse 2 ай бұрын

Yes,, I need to step down 12v to 9v to the de-humidifier,, just haven't gotten to that yet :-/ and I need it to run in a timer on/off or even better a humidifier sensor,, on/off.

Have you tested the through put of the switch , that its is possible to to pull the 2.5GB from each port , also Dose the SFP port require any particular Type Of SFP ? Since these things have there own firmware installed on them .

What you saw, was what I did,, I have not tested any more than that. (witch was really not much of a test, more like does it work at all) I put in a standard SFP+ ,,, I think this will take more or less anything,, it´s the big brands that are picky and only want to work with there own SFP's

Would you not be wary of Aliexpress networking gear? Because of spying concerns? I've heard of cheap Chinese network devices sniffing your packets and sending it to foreign servers.
