In a homelab scenario when asking “DAC vs. fiber” the answer is usually, “yes.” :) Basically, it’s a tradeoff as with everything else. DACs will usually be even (slightly) lower po…

15 months ago I saw writing on the wall on several fronts. I suggested my community commit to their buys/builds ASAP and be forward-looking, before things changed. My high-end HEDT…
