 ifiguero | But the whole "get fiber" is a bit confusing. Are you replacing ethernet with MM fiber? | 16:30:38 |
| ifiguero | What does mikrotik has to do with you "getting fiber"? | 16:30:57 |
 jeffmca | Regardless of whatever else, i'd suggest single mode rather than multi mode | 16:31:50 |
| ifiguero | MM is way cheaper. Why would you buy SM for your place? Unless you have several acres because SM is rated for 10Km and MM for 500m | 16:33:06 |
| jeffmca | The price difference is minimal anymore. And SM just gives you more options and upgradability. | 16:34:05 |
| ifiguero | Probably. A couple of years ago bought some ubnt MM SFP modules at 10 bucks, but if you buy the splicer you probably will have a harder time finding MM. Besides that the switch won't care if you use MM or SM | 16:38:02 |
| jeffmca | The general wisdom is stay away from vendor branded optics. There's basically zero benefit to them and they're a lot more expensive, and they particularly jump the price for SM. In 3rd party optics world, the price premium is non-zero, but also not large. | 16:40:46 |
| ifiguero | Well, yes. I meant that ubiquity is more of a consumer grade cheap. Then you buy some jumpers of the length you desire. But if you are doing some wiring you probably will need a splicer to patch. | 16:42:44 |
| ifiguero | Mikrotik is my experience is good value. But you probably can find something cheaper. | 16:43:39 |
| jeffmca | Yeah, fair enough. | 16:44:10 |
| ifiguero | Now there is some GPON used for wan, not sure how they play with this kind of equipment. | 16:45:03 |
| jeffmca | GPON is a whole different beast with different equipment. Same type of fiber, tho | 16:48:24 |
| ifiguero | Yeah I figured. Something to keep in mind if he think he can just plug the fiber that comes from the provider into his switch. | 17:04:45 |

| Tremor | Hey guys. I have a small issue with my backups. I'm doing a backup of my media, but I have most of it hard linked to a more structured hierarchy in another location on disk while the source files are there for archive purposes. When making a backup with rclone, it copies the same file "twice" because of the hardlink, causing double the storage usage.
What's the best way to mitigate this? Do I need to switch to softlinks? | 19:43:30 |

 Oscar | hello | 12:36:55 |
| Karlis Zemitis | omg, sorry wrong chat. 😄 Have a room called Homelab and testing n8n automations 😄 | 12:38:11 |
| Oscar | time to use the internal room id =) | 12:38:57 |
| Karlis Zemitis | naa, just nuked and renamed 🙂 | 12:39:26 |
| Oscar | you really want to use internal room ids in automations, though | 12:39:45 |
| Karlis Zemitis | It uses IDs at the back end. I can just select from a list of names. | 12:55:51 |

 🍄 HB 🌿 | Guys, hi, I just moved to #self-hosting:matrix.org on Matrtix. If you're into that, please join and discuss self hosting stuff. 🙂 I mean more than the homelab stuff. | 22:31:43 |
