i would be happy. switches can cost a fortune, and this is for a rack so why so sad?

"What do you mean you can't play games with it, son? When I had this in high school, I got invited to every LAN party and got free drinks."

But dad, I wanted the 10gbps model with sfp+ Fiber support!!!

Hon, you don’t even use the 1gbps we have at home.

That’s not the point having a larger bandwidth on the server end removes bottlenecks to multiple simultaneous clients!

You kids with your new words, that’s Skibidi toilet Ohio Rizz alright.

1GB is so 2010s. Now it's all about 10GB

Old Cisco gear shows up in the thrift shops here. I think you can't even give 10/100 kit away.

What if it were 10/100 Gb/s ?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

how could you tell it was a 10/100... or even a cisco switch?

it looks more like an old small plane dell powerconnect to me.

This picture has been jpeg-ified so many times that the details are illegible now

I'm pretty sure it was a Cisco if I'm not mistaken, but I could be remembering wrong

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago

I didn't. It just looks like the fair number of Cisco (and the occasional Dell) 10/100/sometimes Gigabit switches I've seen in junk shops.

I bought a nifty blue Netgear 24-port one mostly because I'm more willing to buy junk from the Humane Society shop, but then decided it was too loud (40mm fans) and went to 2.5G (with smaller fanless switches) instead.

At least that switch is fast.
