POE is where it's @
Yes, he kicked down the Point Of Entry. Also, Power Over Ethernet is the best. It is known.
And here I thought someone was just saying they like path of exile.
Listen, it's a series of short horrific stories and you need to sit down to read about these absurdities that Edgar Allen Poe has to relate.
Honestly though, I really do need to read more of his stuff. I've only read a few, but they're incredibly good.
I was thinking Pillars of Eternity. PoE is always on-topic. :)
It's even easier to cut the Internet cables going into a house.
If I had a PoE surveillance system I'd have it saving to a local server.
I got great pictures of the people breaking into my van. It did nothing to help catch them.
Well, if you got a license plate, maybe the police would pretend like they care.
Thieves who use cars during thefts usually use stolen cars. Yeah, I was able to get a license plate of a car that dropped them off once, it didn't seem to do much since it hasn't stopped them from returning.
Well, it'll hopefully help them connect crimes and nab those thieves eventually. It certainly doesn't hurt.
A license plate for what?
The license plate of the thieves who stole from the van. Just one thief is probably a drug addict, more than one is a crew that likely has a getaway car nearby.
Never lived somewhere with buried infrastructure huh?
This but unironically. Burying lines costs money and who is going to spend it?
Uh, no it doesn't? Just use a shovel, wedge open the dirt like 6-12 inches, and Bob's your uncle. I recommend also putting in conduit so you can fish another line if you ever need to.
On asphalt and concrete?
Are you talking about utility work? If so, that's on your ISP.
Our infra is all underground until it reaches my house, so there's a few feet of exposed cable in the corner of the backyard behind a fence where it enters my house. I'm not exactly sure what the arrangement is, but I think they coordinate with the electric or water utilities if they need to service one of their boxes.
I would reply, but you clearly are more interested in making your own answers for yourself.
At least with my setup, I get a notification from Unifi basically immediately if my internet/power goes down. With all my POE being run through my walls and attic as well, I don't really have to worry about individual cables being cut.
At some point when I have enough money to consistently eat dinner again, I would like to get a secondary wan through a satellite internet provider specifically for when my main internet goes down.
