@erindesu@tech.lgbt I wonder what the global collective extra energy usage is due to PPPoE!

@erindesu I think the point of PPPoE is so the ISP can tell which packets belong to which subscriber when the medium is shared (PON, fiber-to-the-node, DSL, etc). Although my current ISP is somehow providing me with fiber service that uses plain old DHCP and Ethernet. Which I love and cherish very much. But I'm sure it'll be PPPoE o'clock again if I ever move or if the ONT ever needs replacement.

@erindesu you can have MTU 1540 with PPPoE as of... *checks notes* last week https://github.com/ppp-project/ppp/commit/f691c224e12ee13a1b317a1838d150f1ffef14a1

@erindesu Ah, yes, MTU 1492, or as it is better known: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1492:_Conquest_of_Paradise

@erindesu I'm with you, but also I'm plagued with DOCSIS currently.
