A festival is nice but I think making wearing a kilt to work should be normalized.
Having fun at M'era Luna.

This is definitely not how I planned to meet 2024. I’m not sure I’m even mentally prepared to sum up 2023, because on a personal level it was one of my best years. 85 days in uniform and counting. May 2024 be as boring as it can be.
@hacks4pancakes talks mentions OT folks retiring and loss of critical knowledge.
A few hours later I'm at a call with a developer who came back from retirement to help plug knowledge gaps.
So it took the better part of the week, two ISP tech visits, a complete refresher course on fiber technology, 48 hours of hunting for a stupid configuration mistake (RTFM level), but I managed to get a 2.5gbps line to run on my own hardware.
Lessons learned:
1. You can't get most SFP+ cards to run at 2.5G even if the SFP module supports it.
2. CRS305 can switch really well, but you need hardware offload and that will only work for ONE bridge.
3. You can pull an OM4 pre-terminated duplex fiber through a wall conduit used by a phone line, if you stagger the connectors and pull the phone cable out.
