As my storage needs grow, so too does the need for speed. And thanks to MikroTik, I'm well equipped to give my home network a substantial boost. In this video I install two 100gb MiktroTik switches, run all new fiber lines, and ensure my new network cards can handle the torrential flood of bits. My server rack has never been faster, and it's going to speed up all my services, even cloud gaming.

But first... What am I drinking?!

Well to kick things off, I got me a can of Pub Beer from 10 Barrel Brewing. But as weeks turned to months, this shoot wrapped in the midst of Mixology March. So I crack me an egg and enjoy a cocktail I've never tried: An Ace. A delightfully creamy and playful potion which will satisfy your holiday hankerings quite nicely.
