TracketPacer @tracketpacer.com · 03/09/2026if i run over a cable w my car do yall think i can get it to connect at 5gbps? 15390
Davina @davinak.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Of course! We are referring to tactical fiber, right? Right? 110
Scott @scottypippen08.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Is it going to be coiled or uncoiled while you drive over it? 100
Just some guy, you know? @infinite-loopy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026the old stagehand living inside of me is cringing at the idea of purposely running over cables.... 120
Greg Etling @getling.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Only if you do it at 88 mph (I hate that I HAVE to clarify that’s a Back to the Future reference, nothing more) 160
Rob Lion @rnlion.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Probably. With a car tire at ~30psi and the cable thin enough that the tire can conform around it, the force squishing the cable is likely less than from a person stepping on it. But, very interesting to explore experimentally! 000
Chris Baiocchetti @matchstickboy.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Rubber is an insulator, right? Isn't that how more data go faster works? 010
David Rosicke @drosickesho.bsky.social · 03/09/2026What is the surface you are driving on? Asphalt or dirt should be OK, gravel not so much. 000
Norman Wilson (⚠️Ontario is not America) 🔵 @oclsc.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Depends on your car's networking. 110
Brentley Beerline @brentley.bsky.social · 03/09/2026that sounds like an interesting experiment, especially if you were to try say a light small car versus a bigger pickup and measue before and after throughput 010
Name_Too_Long @nametoolong.bsky.social · 03/09/2026"It depends..." If any of the conductors break, no. As long as continuity is maintained I... don't know. I haven't done much with 5GBASE-T so I don't know how much headroom is built into the spec. Gut guess would be you can. One way to find out! 000
