@disaster2life Hahaha, been there when young, and then owned a glorious 24 ports 100M switch that made unbearable noise in the bedroom
@gagath aaaa, I am jealous! The problem with the noise thing is I do somewhat share the apartment and the other person doesn't like my antics, I don't think a managed rack switch would mend relationships, _I hope I can get it_
@disaster2life you do not... But it would be cool.... Fuck now I want a 24 port switch
@lunarequest I yearn so hard, I can completely work off of the AP / Switch combo box my ISP gave me even accounting for me wanting to wire up my desk, I really want one for the yearn, but same mood.
@sahil I do really want it, I **don't** need it, I don't even have that many things with an ethernet jack! ~~I could start reselling my internet access to my neighbours maybe?~~
@disaster2life worst case you can buy a unmanaged switch
@lunarequest naaah this one is enterprise gear! i wanna own enterprose stuff
@disaster2life ahhh fair enough, I too want a enterprise switch and a rack. Although you can 3d print racks now :3
@disaster2life @sahil me too, though i wanted to be the tata kind of ISP and (read in doof's voice) take over the entire tri-state area
@libreinator @disaster2life there's quite some work to become an ISP here.
IIRC, you would need:
- a company reg and GST
- class A/B/C license (A being pan India, B is usually state/circle presence and C being small area) from TRAI
- keep NAT logs for atleast 5 years
- and the usual ISP stuff (IP space, physical POP, upstream connecitivity, DNS and AAA/radius servers)
Then you go to cust.

Or
you can go the easier route and become a LCO (local cable operator) and resell someone elses internet like for BSNL, Excitel etc.
Here you just maintain the last mile fiber and customer relations. Most tech is handled by upstream, including billing. You usually get 50% of each cust bill.

@libreinator @sahil lmfaoo! I've day dreamed for a bit about the idea and only thought about getting leased lines for the apartment buildings I have lived in, thinking how I could make a collectively managed internet area in them
@sahil @libreinator its all big steps and id rather be a class C operator organsing local area internet for the community, but both paths sound fun, *and exactly like what I end up fantasising about* though ... I do have computer networks this semester, _maybe_
