#clabretro
New blog soon. Some highlights.
- Found another vendor quirk.
- Bought a Cisco 2911.
- Maddy and I both think it's too loud... fan mod for that soon.
- Renewed appreciation for clabretro and Cisco engineers.
- The lab is probably the perfect CCNA and CCNP lab (and MTCRE).
- Need another room.

I blame Clabretro for this venture.

Spoiler Alert: The break-up of AT&T in the early 80's directly lead to the development of UTP. I did NOT know that when I woke up this morning!

clabretro said they liked the name "Merlin" so I can put that on my CV right?

Autism hits weird sometimes man. One minute I'm talking about playing cards, the next: I'm distracted by clabretro on YT setting up an ancient network because it's fun for him. All the while my brain is screaming in a James May kind of way: "Hellser you idiot. Go to bed."

casually enjoying the clabretro feature on AT&T Merlin phones and came across the comment that says that people watching it are on the spectrum at some form or another because we are sitting down for 40+ minutes to watch a video about old POTS phones

and honestly... yeah

I thought for a second you were going after clabretro and I got scared 🥺

If you want tech youtubers who actually make GOOD content, look up vwestlife, Druaga1, MattKC, Cathode Ray Dude, Action Retro, Budget Builds Official, Clabretro, people like that

Anyone nuts about older enterprise datacenter and telco tech, servers, Cisco routers and switches, and other such fineries, will find a slice of heaven over at Clabretro’s YouTube channel - it’s glorious❤️😛

There is surprisingly one whole video about old setting up CallerID from Clabretro, but it's very much just configuring it on a Cisco 2900 vs going over how it actually worked.

Uuuuh new clabretro video about token ring networks
February 7, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Today all cables arrived, so it's time to see if it can be revived.

Very much inspired by the clabretro youtube channel

You either die a hero or live long enough for clabretro to start featuring gear you're running in prod at home 😔

I've got my 8x8 matrix switcher configured with all 4K cards though, so idk how retro the thing really is.

Here's another banger from clabretro! This time he's cooked up ADSL service in his retro lab.

Without using the link I know is a clabretro video lmao

On the recommendation of clabretro I just read Open: How Compaq Ended IBM’s PC Domination and Helped Invent Modern Computing.
Great book! Easy reading and it moves along quickly. I knew Compaq was the first of the true IBM compatibles but not the extent to which they pushed industry standards […]

I love the clabretro meme era

This wouldn't happen to be the clabretro one would it? Because you won't believe what I'm actually watching. (Ok it's the pix firewall video but still)
