there's basically only one kind of optical cable used in consumer audio (S/PDIF+TOSLINK, or however you want to refer to it). the trick is to arranging for both ends to use it.

i've never had a problem. but i'm not working for huge companies where the contract change would have to go through a legal department.

what (if anything) have you used for pedagogical materials for the guqin? and how effective have they been?

i'd like to futz around with an instrument in that family someday, but there aren't lessons available anywhere near me.

like actual cisco-brand ones, or cisco compatible ones?

i checked my order history, it looks like ipolex and 10gtk 1000bT copper modules have had troubles in my mikrotik switches. the mikrotik brand works fine. and every 10G fiber module i've tried has worked (lots of fs.com, and i think 10gtek, and probably some other brand off amazon)

i've got one of those, and another mikrotik 10gb switch. whatever the 16 port one is.

they've been working nicely. i have good luck with fiber SFP+ modules, but it seems picky about 1G copper SFP modules, fwiw.

> They could probably infer that if I'm watching comedy ... I don't want to watch some guy's channel about bassists that they've tried to get me to watch 100 times prior.

davie504 is basically a musically-themed comedy act, so this doesn't seem that unreasonable.

> I think I'm on the same boat as you on this one; I tend to have a pretty libertarian view on free speech, but lately the bizarre rise of hyper-radical idiots on places like 8chan (and even YouTube to a lesser extent) has really made me question these things.

there have always been hyper-radical idiots. with 8chan and such, you can see them.

you're not getting rid of anything, you're just sticking your head into the sand.
