  • It’s basically just an end you attach to the fiber:

    You’ll use a cleaver to break the fiber at a 90 degree angle to reduce attenuation, and slide it into the connector. Once it bottoms out, you press something down and it grabs the fiber, holding it in place.

    I know it’s Youtube, but here’s a video of the process:

    The idea is you would pull a fiber cable through a building and terminate it with ends like these. Then install them into a bulkhead to make them similar to solid-core CAT5/5e/6 cable into a patch panel. You can then use premade jumpers to connect from the building wiring to the devices you’re using.

    The fusion machines are generally used for long distance links because of the significantly lower attenuation per splice. A fiber line that goes 40 miles is likely to have tens if not hundreds of splices in it depending on the number of spans of cable, and industry standard for fusion splices is 0.00-0.05 db attenuation per fusion splice.





  • They’re both about the same in terms of privacy so that’s quite an irrelevant thing to bring up. Windows sucks infinitely more from an usability perspective, though.

    As someone who has used Linux as their primary desktop OS for about 7 years now, you don’t have to tell me that Windows sucks.

    Edit: Oh, one more thing, you don’t have to do some bs hacks to use macOS without an Apple account.

    I don’t use any accounts for my OS at all.

    The only thing that makes Apple marginally better is that the company spying on you tries to pretend like they’re not in it for your sweet data.

    They might not be selling it right now, but only because they keep making money hand over fist from the non-repairable proprietary bullshit they produce. Once that faucet starts to slow down, you better believe they’ll be the next Google.



  • A user made a community called LinuxSucks.

    Poe’s law being what it is, it can be hard to tell the difference between satire and someone actually drinking the kool-aid, but having talked to this person and been banned from his little fiefdom, he strikes me as the non-satirical kind of poster.

    Trolls revel in the attention. They want the outrage that comes from interaction, and he’s locked down his community, disallowing anyone from posting anything at all last I checked.

    He’s taken stances like “Open Source software is inherently bad for society because it takes jobs away from companies” and “the spyware companies like Microsoft build into Windows (IE Windows Recall or any other data aggregation system) are where things are going and you should be happy because you’re helping a company make money”.

    I’d personally describe him as a Temporarily Embarrassed Billionaire trying to find a cock to deepthroat so he can join their ranks.
