"The elders of the Internet...know my name?!"

I remember one Christmas dinner one of my aunties asked about iCloud and how are they "storing pictures n stuff inside clouds now?" (physical clouds!)

Everyone immediately looks at me and most of them probably didn't believe me when I said it's just a marketing term for storing your data on a companies "computer"/server.

My family is mostly tech illiterate, but still call me paranoid when I tell them the actual truth behind the tech they're putting their trust in.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer that you neither own nor control.

Or - hear me out - or it is a bit of cotton on the end of an Ethernet cable.

That's the stuff the elites don't want you to know

Jokes on them, the Covenant have broken long ago

[-] ForgottenUsername@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Exactly should've replaced the fluff with quite literally someone else's computer.

That patch panel is a thing of beauty from the front, I'll bet it looks even better ~~walking away~~ from the back

[-] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Not bad work, I'd use Velcro.

Hell no, even the servers are vaping now 😭

Why are those patch cables so long?!

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Well when you have to release a patch to a customer and they are quite far away...

(e: also I have my house networked with patch cables to every room via the attic, some are 100')

This explains a lot

Looks like something from HP's lab.

Don't those blue cables go to various locations in the office for equipment to connect to? You don't have 20 cables leading out to the internet. The purple cables connect to the switch/router/firewall and then one (or maybe a few) connection leads out to the internet.

It's not the Internet, it's The Cloud.

[-] _thebrain_@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 months ago

Purple cables go in, blue cables go to the cloud as you can see.
