My Home Fibre Network Disintegrated, Literally - Alienchow

This morning I woke up and headed to my bomb shelter to grab the bike pump to inflate the tyres on my children’s bikes. The handle got slightly tangled up in the fibre optic cables so I lifted up the cables to free the pump. Like cookie crumbs the fibre cable’s sleeve jackets crumbled in my hands. Before I could even utter “Oh fuck no”, another section of the cable exploded outwards with thin metal wires jutting out from what seems to be like strands of white plastic threads, which I assume is the Kevlar sheath. I think I must have stood in my pseudo server room in shock for a whole minute, unable to move or process what had happened. A main component of why I was in sheer horror was the fact that I had stupidly buried all of these cables under my cement flooring in PVC trunking from my shelter to all of the rooms in the flat. If this cable fails, the connection from the server room to a specific room would be permanently severed. The room for this particular cable turned out to be my home office where my homelab MS-A2 resided.

New blog post: "IPv6 at home — my simple solution" A very minimal, pragmatic solution so I can start working with IPv6 in my network at home. Experts might get a bit irritated and I hope you can channel your wisdom in friendly replies to this post so we can all learn and become better at IPv6, help a n00b!
