| 19:29.29 | Ackis | Torhal: how well do you know networking equipment? e.g. managed switches |
| 19:30.10 | Torhal | I don't know much networking at all, TBH :/ |
| 19:30.45 | Ackis | darn |
| 19:32.58 | Ressy | that you'd be asking Kaelten about. |
| 19:33.10 | Ressy | or, if gabe was still in #teksavvy, him |
| 19:33.14 | Ressy | Ackis, ask in #teksavvy |
| 19:33.18 | Ressy | tons of sys admins there. |
| 19:33.24 | Kaelten | :P |
| 19:33.26 | Ackis | I'm not on that server anymore :P |
| 19:33.31 | Ackis | a wild Kaelten appears |
| 19:33.33 | Ressy | well it'll only take a minute or two |
| 19:33.34 | Kaelten | Ackis whatcha need my friend |
| 19:33.36 | Ressy | oh my. |
| 19:33.51 | Ressy | I ping him and he responds. <3 |
| 19:34.44 | Ackis | Kaelten: I'm looking at getting a used switch - 24/48 ports - somewhere around there - I want gigabit lan minimum - any place for me to start to figure out what to look for? e.g. managed/unmanaged - what does that mean, what's a "web smart" switch, etc |
| 19:35.11 | Kaelten | where you going to deploy it? |
| 19:35.33 | Ackis | in a dusty corner in my house |
| 19:35.34 | Kaelten | is this for an office, just you're house or a datacenter or? |
| 19:35.50 | Kaelten | going to do any serious workloads or you just want it to work and never break? |
| 19:36.24 | Ackis | this is pure personal, and no real serious workloads - I was just looking at prices and a used 48 port looks like it's the same price as some 5 port ones |
| 19:36.36 | Kaelten | ok so managed generaly has some fancy layer 3 features |
| 19:36.54 | Kaelten | which is massive overkill for almost any home situation |
| 19:37.35 | Kaelten | I've used this series at home for years |
| 19:37.36 | Kaelten | http://www.netgear.com/business/products/switches/unmanaged/gigabit-unmanaged-switch.aspx#tab-models |
| 19:37.54 | Kaelten | and they 'just work' require zero config and I've neve rhad one break |
| 19:38.24 | Kaelten | even the two 5 ports that acted as the hub for the in wall cat5e stuck in a lockbox with zero ventilation for the last 5 years |
| 19:38.54 | Kaelten | and the small ones at least are 50-100 bucks |
| 19:39.30 | Ackis | I'm looking at least for 16 - preferably more |
| 19:39.44 | Ackis | right now I have a bit of a daisy chain happening which sucks |

| 19:40.26 | Kaelten | 157 US new |
| 19:40.54 | Kaelten | shouldn't be more than 5000 Canadian if I understand the conversion rates correctly. |
| 19:41.00 | Ackis | har har |
| 19:41.08 | Kaelten | ;) |
| 19:41.34 | Kaelten | if I needed that many ports for my house that's what I'd get :) |
| 19:41.38 | Ackis | http://www.ebay.ca/itm/D-Link-DGS-3426-24-Port-xStack-Gigabit-L2-Stackable-Managed-Switch-/201533010991?hash=item2eec4db42f <-- $48 new for the same ports - and I think I found a 52 port one for $40ish |
| 19:41.56 | Kaelten | not a fan of dlink personally |
| 19:42.19 | Ressy | :P |
| 19:42.24 | Kaelten | http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NetGear-ProSafe-JGS524NA-24-Port-Gigabit-Ethernet-Rackmount-Switch-v2-DD1-312-/152033432435?hash=item2365e61373:g:K2gAAOSwNyFWeuA0 |
| 19:42.25 | Ressy | Means your mean stretches far here. |
| 19:43.26 | Ackis | $68US + $28US Shipping and $14US "import" == sucky |
| 19:44.06 | Ackis | eventually I'd like to throw a couple more nics into my server as well |
| 19:46.30 | Ressy | money*. brain fried |
| 19:47.19 | Ressy | EVerything just hit my desk last 20 minutes |
