@[email protected] Do I see two fiber optic cables going into your workstation? 👀
What do you have there, 2x 10G in LAG?@[email protected] That’s an Intel X710-DA4 4-port NIC, which you’re quite correct about… 2x 10G lagg with a bridge on top, the other two ports are similarly lagg/bridged with one port disconnected during an optic swap.
@[email protected] may I know the usecase? just curious
@[email protected] use case for the lagg/bridge: the lagg(s) provides link failover for connection redundancy, and the bridge(s) offer transit for network connections to/from jails and virtual machines located on the host
use case for the host itself: it’s a development resource which allows me to run (and break/fix/iterate) code and infrastructure locally, prior to deployment in staging / load-test / production where things cannot be readily iterated in the same lackadaisical adhoc manner.
@[email protected] I could never take a photo of my desk. What shocks everyone is that I’m extremely organized with my computer, server, etc. (everything is arranged meticulously according to fixed rules that I don’t compromise on), while my workstation is always chaotic 🙂
@[email protected] @[email protected] now you have to
@[email protected] @[email protected] Sorry, I can’t. I have to rush to mow the lawn before it gets too dark 😆 😆 😆
@[email protected] @[email protected] dura lex sed lex
@[email protected] @[email protected] Jokes aside, I also have documents and things I can’t show right now, but I’ll make one soon 🙂
@[email protected] @[email protected] I’ll go first: https://michal.sapka.me/blog/uses/
@[email protected] @[email protected] This is clean and ordered…here’s a glance of mine…
@[email protected] @[email protected] cables! :-)
MacBook :-(
@[email protected] Wait, is this a T14s G6 with the X Elite SoC?
@[email protected] that’s correct. it arrived rather recently, and firmware updates are required (easy, but requires Qualcomm’s app which runs on windows, so that’s a thing). As of today I’m working through some kernel debugging and setting up remote log capture for easier parsing during boot iterations. very fun!
@[email protected] That sounds way better than I expected! Excited to see non-Windows support increasing over the next months. I’d love to also tinker with this device. :)
