Hi everyone, I'm curious about how people approach network connections between separate buildings, especially when reliability and electrical isolation are important. Copper Ethernet can be simple and inexpensive for shorter runs, but once equipment is located in different buildings, factors like …

@rosiecharles Please write your opinion. Have you ever prepared BOM and cost estimate? What decided what solution was better? It is next topic with an artificially created open question that looks like pumping users to get "stories" to publish them or needed for a summer assigment. Moreover it co…

Off topic. Admins, feel free to remove this post. [image] BartoszP: If there would be no sensible answer the topic probably would be closed. WFT - Why???? Someone asks a perfectly reasonable technical question and your first reaction is to accuse them of farming stories, doing a summer a…

To me it does look like an attempt on feeding ai data through official mikrotik forum. Because people often who use llm to get …

Is Fiber Always the Better Choice Between Buildings?

It's not a question if OP is real enough. Can you comment how these topics ended?
What would be next? What PCs do you use? What .... you use as "it is known that ...blah, blah".
