That sounds more like DARE style bullshit to justify getting angry at people stealing formula. I’ve definitely heard of baby powder or baby laxative but that’s because they react similar to coke by dissolving in water like blow or acting like a numbing agent. Baby formula doesn’t numb and it gets milky in water.
It makes no sense from a economic stand point either. People cut drugs to make more money. Most of the shit they use costs next to nothing, isn’t watched and definitely isn’t locked up.
I remember standing in line at a liquor store, watching a (likely) homeless woman carefully pocket some food item. I said nothing. I talked about it the next day at work. A coworker suggested I’d just passed an “ethics test.”
That was many years ago, before I’d established my current worldview. Today, I’d be silently rooting for them. “Get some food!”
They birthed and normalized shitty internet behavior: rickrolling on the lighter end, trolling, doxxing, and swatting.
They would also do shit like make fun of mentally handicapped people, which would lead goons to harassing the victims IRL and teaching kids that this was all OK.
And they would go after people who talked shit about about them, criticized them, or otherwise attacked them. The 4chan army would come out in force and try to ruin people's online existence.
Before Q-Anon showed up, they had started calling Trump God Emperor during the election. I think they may just have chose him as the candidate who would cause the most chaos, but it's easy to see how others others would take their goals more seriously and want Trump as president.
And the cycles of shitty behavior over decades attracted more and more rightwingers. I used to think of them as a chaos collective, but the politics swung hard right.
And then they spread to other platforms with r/the_donald, pepe the frog, and calling each other pedes.
10G Base LR: It's a type of fiber standard that runs a 10 gigabits. and looks like this
QSFP 40G: It's a DIFFERENT type of fiber standard that runs at 40 gigs and looks like this
I only know the basics of fiber networking but I know that different standards are needed because light refracts differently depending on cable thickness and composition, so standards/variations of the same standard have different maximum length, bandwidth, collision detection, etc.
For example, the type of fiber that you use to connect two offices that are 10 miles apart is going to be very different than the fiber you use to connect your SAN storage to your baremetal ESXI servers.
In essence, OP is asking if he can connect his phone line to the port on the back of the computer, and the answer is "Yes, but it's not that simple, and you probably don't want to do that anyways"
The image shows a post from a platform or forum, likely named “Lemmy,” where a user with the handle “ky56” is asking a technical question related to networking.
Here’s a breakdown of the technical terms:
10GBase-LR: This refers to a specific standard of Ethernet transceiver module that can support data rates of up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) and works over single-mode fiber. The “LR” in the name stands for “Long Range,” indicating that this module is designed for longer distance transmissions, typically up to 10 kilometers.
QSFP-40G-LR4: “QSFP” stands for Quad Small Form-factor Pluggable. It’s a compact, hot-pluggable transceiver used for data communications applications. The “40G” indicates its data rate, which is 40 Gbps. The “LR4” suggests it’s designed for long-range transmissions, typically up to 10 kilometers, and it uses a 4-lane architecture.
CWDM: Stands for Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing. It’s a technology that multiplexes multiple optical signals on a single fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e., colors) of laser light. This technique enables multiple channels to be transmitted over a single fiber, increasing the overall capacity of the communication link.
The user’s question is about whether they can connect a 10GBase-LR module to a QSFP-40G-LR4 module using CWDM technology. Essentially, they’re asking if it’s possible to interconnect these two types of transceivers, which operate at different data rates, using a technology that allows multiple wavelengths on a single fiber.
Yeah but it didn’t answer the question of “can you connect them?”.
Others in this thread have said yes but chat gpt ignored the question and replied with a description of the question. It’s easy for a model like this to determine what a model name means(it seems complicated to humans but there is a logic to their naming).
That’s because I asked it to explain the technical aspect of the question, not answer it.
Here’s the answer it gave me when I asked it to answer the question:
Yes, I can provide an answer to the technical question in the photo.
The question is: “Can I attach a 10GBase-LR to QSFP-40G-LR4 (CWDM)?”
Answer: In general, you can’t directly connect a 10GBase-LR transceiver to a QSFP-40G-LR4 transceiver because they operate at different data rates (10 Gbps vs. 40 Gbps). Additionally, the QSFP-40G-LR4 typically uses four separate lanes of 10 Gbps each, which is why it has the “4” in its name.
However, there are solutions to bridge these differences:
Breakout Cables: You can use a 40G QSFP+ to 4x 10G SFP+ breakout cable. This cable will split the 40G signal from the QSFP-40G-LR4 into four separate 10G channels. You can then connect one of the 10G channels to your 10GBase-LR module. This will only utilize 10 Gbps of the 40 Gbps available from the QSFP+ port, leaving the other three channels unused.
Transponder or Media Converter: These devices can convert signals between different data rates. A transponder could take in the 10G signal from the 10GBase-LR and output it as one lane of a 40G signal compatible with the QSFP-40G-LR4. However, similar to the breakout cable, this will only utilize a fraction of the 40G capability.
Switch/Router Configuration: Some high-end networking equipment allows you to configure the data rate of specific ports. If both transceivers are plugged into such a device, you could potentially configure the QSFP-40G-LR4 port to operate at 10G, but this would be vendor and model specific.
Regarding the CWDM component, if both transceivers support CWDM and are operating on compatible wavelengths, they should be able to communicate over a CWDM system. However, CWDM is typically used to combine multiple signals onto a single fiber, so if you’re just trying to connect these two transceivers, the CWDM component may not be necessary unless it’s part of a larger network design.
Always consult with the documentation of your networking equipment and, if possible, conduct tests in a lab environment before making any changes to a live network.
You probably want to simplify your example to “the servers you’d connect in the same room” rather than going into “SAN” and “ESXI” or else they only people who will understand are going to be all the /r/homelab refugees in c/selfhosted, and they already all taken what this was about anyway lol
It's a meme. This image shows a lemmy user asking a highly technical question and a caption saying that that is the least technical user, implying that all other lemmy users are even more technical.
Fun fact: some people have a nature fetish and will dig holes in the ground or bore holes in trees so they can literally fuck the earth. I’m not judging, but now you have to share the burden of this knowledge.
I don’t even watch porn and still I always get uncomfortable when someone sees my screen. Is it really that difficult to knock, and come in after you have received some kind of response?
Yeah, I (used to?) always switch to my desktop when someone’s coming in, regardless of what I was doing. I wonder if people think I’m looking at porn non-stop.
You live in a place designed around cars, that’s the problem. Society worked fine without cars for a good long while. We could have adopted trains, bikes, and buses without the car and things would be going swimmingly. The idea is to fix our bad town planning so that it’s reasonable to get to any destination using any mode if transportation.
Most of the criticisms that come from the right are solvable problems, such as lack of chargers, electricity coming from dirty sources, or lithium mining. We pretty much know how to solve all those at this point. Just a matter of doing it.
Criticisms that come from the left tend to be more fundamental. Things like car-based cities being too spread out, infrastructure costs spiraling out of control, or having the average person operate a 2 ton vehicle at speeds over 60mph and expecting this to be safe. None of those are specific to EVs, and are only solvable by looking at different transportation options.
