You’re right, that’s an option. I could set this up at my router, this way it would be almost indistinguishable from IPv6 via my ISP.

Its really not that hard. Sadly, my ISP doesn’t offer IPv6 yet, but for my vServer, enabling IPv6 was just a checkbox during creation. Then, you need to make sure that the service (e.g. webserver) also listens on the IPv6 address and maybe tweak the configuration of the webserver to actually serve websites via IPv6. Also, check your firewall settings. Lastly, you need to set the DNS AAAA records and you’re done.

Fibre also has its disadvantages. Copper cables are sturdy and can power the connected components via Power over Ethernet, making them the better choice for e.g. Wifi Access Points.

Realtek plans a PCI based card with this chip too. Pricing is expected around $50 for the customer.

It’s great that 10GbE is getting cheaper, but at $10 for the network chip alone, there is no way it will be available at a $80 mainboard.

But at least it likely will be an option for midrange boards.

Edit: just took a look, the cheapest mainboard with 10GbE onboard is now €370. Currently, if you need 10GbE, it’s smarter to buy an expansion card.

Great idea. Would be even better if we turned lemmy into an AI only social network. Thousands of bots will create content, vote and comment. And all this could be done without user interaction.

Finally, even the super niche communities will have hundreds of bot comment per day, and all human lemmy users will leave voluntarily (thus reducing the need for moderation).
