For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Come over to my place, the address is 192.168.1.123

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 54 points 2 days ago (2 children)

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

Side note, the joke in The Simpsons is becoming increasingly obscure. Not only do you have to know about DOS command lines, you have to be familiar with the old "See Spot run" textbooks.

[–] BJ_and_the_bear@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes, no place like localhost

Can we meet at 192.168.1.69...... If you know what I mean.

[–] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

I actually set my router to statically assign this IP to my computer

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I hear this location is well connected

RJ11 vs. RJ45.

[–] Miphera@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Best internet connection in the entire neighborhood.

Who lives in switch port 7!?

This is what happens when the architect can't be bothered anymore and just start submitting things they found on their desk.

It's not a switch, it's a patch bay.

Once spent a whole day troubleshooting a site remotely over the phone to re-establish network connection

The client assured me the server was connected to the network switch. It wasn't until some repeated questioning about the indicator lights on the switch, which were mysteriously absent, that I realised we were talking about a patch panel and not a network switch.

This was before facetiming and decent res photo cameras on mobile phones.

Yup, status LEDs are great for over-the-phone troubleshooting. If you suspect somebody unplugged a thing and everyone says it's running, ask for them to check the power LED's color.

[–] sqw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 days ago

the usefulness of most status LEDs is what makes NICs whose LEDs shine and even blink when they are totally unplugged that much more infuriating.

Ouchie, I felt your pain.

For when those jumbo frames are not big enough and you need a switch that supports super jumbo frames.

[–] sylver_dragon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It looks like Microsoft is trying to bring back WINS. Those are clearly Window Frames.

The left one is a VOIP-to-landline converter.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That is a really big router or switch.

[–] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

If you imagine it a hub, the network collisions get a lot more interesting!

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

That house better be a pokemon go gym called "the switch"

I immediately thought of space invaders game.

There could be that many Airbnbs.

[–] ___@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Looks like Japan. Any GeoGuessrs know where?

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's way too much detail for geoguessr, They like a blurry photo of a dirt road.

This pebble looks Bolivian...

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The footpath has tiles found in Japan. The cycle sign is also quite common there. And the shop has japanese writing

It'd be crazy if this were outside Japan

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago

And driving on the left

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 2 points 1 day ago

Not a geoguesser but I'd say near tokyo. I haven't seen such protected cycle parks in Tokyo. The footpath tiles are very similar to the ones in Tokyo though

[–] flactwin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

i think they have good experience with their so own lo interface

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago

ConnectPort at the plaza.
