Curious as to know which ZTE Device (LTE Puck) which was Jake plugging into the Ubiquiti Dream Machine SE, as their LAN Party's Internet Failover?

Not sure the exact model, our ISP provided it to us for emergencies.  We're planning on replacing it with a GL.iNet Puli AX Cellular Router (GL-XE3000).

What OS/hypervisor would be running on that Minisforum? 

Proxmox! It's awesome and free!

Wondering what UI Jake was using for LanCache, I thought LanCacheUI was abandoned a few months ago?

That's Netdata, a super lightweight general system monitoring tool. It's sick.

An old video; but still no response (despite having mentioned it a few times over the past year in a few different threads where others were tagged).

 

There is no excuse for stating a cable is that cheap when clearly it wasn't, or there was idealized pricing.  Given the cable linked though was $5000+ CAD; and there was a whole segment of the video that talked about how the pricing was under $1000.  Especially given that I mentioned this over a year ago, and have mentioned it a few times in other posts since then; with all it being ignored.

 

So @LMGcommunity @LinusTech response?

Sorry for the delay on responding to this, it slipped under my radar. It's common for products sold "by the meter" to be vastly more expensive than bulk or as a long assembled cable, as they have to account for the handling cost of potentially selling it in increments as small as 1 meter. That would explain why when you looked at the cost of 700 meters of that cable it seemed so ridiculously expensive ($8.14 * 700m = ~$5700 CAD). I went ahead and reached out to InfiniteCables to get an updated retail price quote for the same assembly for you. This project kicked off back in April of 2022, and since then the cost of bulk cable that was used to assemble the cable from the video (Superior Essex brand) has skyrocketed - so much so that IC started manufacturing their own version of it. Even when comparing to their generic version, the cost of an assembly like this has increased an average of 35% since we we're quoted for the original.

Here's the quote they gave me at retail pricing today:

2,296ft - 700m custom 6-strand singlemode LC/LC, 18inch 2mm furcated break-out, outdoor LT armoured direct burial with 2x pulling eyes - $1,623.20 CAD retail

1,640ft - 500m custom 6-strand singlemode LC/LC, 18inch 2mm furcated break-out, outdoor LT armoured direct burial with 2x pulling eyes - $1,213.95 CAD retail
 

If you factor in the ~35% increase in cost, along with the average USD:CAD exchange rate in April of 2022 (1.2628 - according to Bank of Canada) that brings you to a approximate cost of ~$1202 CAD or ~$952 USD when we originally ordered the cable. I will admit, we didn't specify currency in the video, but we are typically always dealing in USD unless otherwise specified since the majority of our audience is in the US. In the video Linus specifically says "$700" before I clarify "under $1000" and that was because the pricing I shared with him a few months before the shoot was for a 500m cable, since we hadn't worked out the correct distance yet ($1213.95 CAD retail / 1.35 / 1.2628 = ~$714 USD). 

For some additional background, it's pretty rare that a cable like this would be purchased at retail pricing - most of their custom cable customers are registered resellers/installers who get a bit of a discount, bringing "usual" pricing down even further. Again, sorry for the delay on a response, and I hope this clears things up a bit!

Folding month lets goooooo!

Got 6x 4090's (courtesy of a Comino Grando!) and a 7900 XTX running so far.
