Absolutely. Should have clarifying that I’m not defending the attitude and abuse of developers. However driving non technical end users to insanity with ill thought through processes is also wrong. Such as expecting users to write bug reports when an automated tool should be being used. An unclear installation guide where 90% of user run into the same problem. etc.

Linus’s (LTT) Linux challenge was the ultimate test of the open source community and they failed miserably. Blaming linus for bricking the system. Um hello, he never should have been incentivized to open the command line at all.

The entitlement of the open source community can be astonishingly deaf. You tell users that open source is better, users try it and your response is, oh it’s free software, you get what you pay for.

Pay who? If I donate do I get paid support? Almost any other paid product/service based off that project almost certainly won’t be open source and probably subscription spyware. So your answer to use open source is don’t use open source???

If this is your attitude on your repo then don’t imply/demonstrate it as for production ready use. It a personal fun dev project not fit for mainstream use. Pick a side, you can’t have both.

Open source developers: Why aren’t more people using open source software software for everything. It’s better.

Also open source developers: Oh it broke your computer, well that’s your problem. You should have had a software engineering degree in order to vet the software yourself.

User goes back to closed source paid spyware… ahem software.

Open source developers: Why aren’t more people using open source software software for everything. It’s better.

DeArrow by the same developer as SponsorBlock seems to be actively developed and community contributions are fast.

Thanks for the tip. 👍

I mean I know that !homelabsales@lemmy.world exists but including my post there are two submissions. I guess I was wondering if there was a more active community that I missed. So far things have been really inactive.

Yes I am aware of that solution. I should have clarified the goal of the exercise. I’m trying to work out if I can make an easily interoperable system where a singlemode fiber wall jack fed from a 40G switch can act as a both a 10G or 40G port as needed depending on what ethernet card the client is using. I am using singlemode as I want to avoid using MTP multimode cable seeing how much more expensive it is than simple lc-lc singlemode.

Yes. There is also an adapter that would allow me to use a SFP+ in a QSFP+ port. But I’m trying to work out if I can make an easily interoperable system where a wall jack fed from a 40G switch can act as a both a 10G or 40G port as needed. Hence the question.

QSFP+ to SFP+: MTP/MPO-LC Breakout Cable

This is almost the setup I’m looking for. Except example is using MMF. I want to know is this setup can be done to one SFP over SMF.

I’m holding out for the PineNote from Pine64.

I thought Google funding Firefox was the cheapest way to fend off an antitrust issue?
