Dude touching those is not allowed. When hardware blended into its environment that well still works you just leave it. Its like the pharaos curse at that point

Also the last person who touches or interactives with the hardware gets blamed when it breaks.

This is the downside of using IP over pigeon protocols for the WAN hops.

The only thing higher quality then the setup is the a cappella audio dub.

Don't touch it if it is working!

Even if it's not working, do not touch. Just redo everything.

Honestly just add some RGB and you should get more performance squeezed out of it. But overall nice quality setup for sure.

i want to use the narrators voice talking about the "three toe'd sloeth" to describe this amalgamation of networking equipment.

Couple of pringles cans for WiFi antennae and it'll be grand...

Our core switches have been up for 11 years. Security keeps asking me to upgrade IOS, but I’m not throwing away a decade of uptime just to fix a few CVEs. Haven’t had an outage yet 👍

Not going to lie, I've walked into clients with factories where the dust collected is far worse on ethernet switching >10yr of age. those old netgear switches are super reliable.

u/tikanderoga 8d ago

It works, no problem. What's the question?

u/Sharp-Selection-5985 9d ago

I’m impressed it’s still routing packets through all that dust and debris. Give it a clean before it starts serving packets from the Stone Age.
