... Or better said... time to buy a switch for my (new) home
Since I have about zero know how in networks, I thought Codeproject could be the right place to get some advice.
So I need about 8 ports, Gbit of course, as less noise as possible. Note : I have a router between the Interweb and this switch.
So far, I found something like this:
Netgear GS108E-100PES Switch Configurable 8 Ports Gigabit[^]
Any (better) ideas ?

Unless you have reason for a managed switch, you can go un-managed and save 50%.

What can you do with a managed one ? I have no idea what programmable feature would be required on a switch (for me it is just a multiple plug, but for network instead of electricity).

A managed one will allow you to create VLANs for example, in case you have a complex architecture with several LAN segments that you want to separate from each other.
But, for a personal, home usage, an unmanaged one is quite sufficient.
I've used Netgear switches for years, had to change the AC adapter once, but apart from that got no problem with them.

I've bought mostly cheap five Port ones and had only one fail, but I also went all spendy for a sixteen Port one a while back, which wasn't too expensive. I think it even has some firewall functionality.
I'll have to see what it is when I get home.
Amazon tells me it's a

Definitely go with a consumer model like you're looking at, no matter how cheap a used/on sale rackmount one might look. I'll have obnoxiously loud fans, probably with no control since it's designed to go into an oven where they always need to be running.

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I've purchased them from Ebay - used or new. They work fine and are cheaper than brand new. I bought 24 port / 48 port and 8 port used switches for very reasonable prices. They've been working fine for years.

Continuing from here...
Since I am not at liberty to make a Weird and Wonderful post, I will rant here instead.
Apart from the 100 KLOC, there are some real "hidden" gems here. Apparently a series of callbacks go to 27 calls deep. And those were JavaScript Promise "then" callbacks invoking another promise.
No one taught them to return the promise.

Hi All,
<<start moan="">> got in early to help some one, who was on the verge of breaking 'elf & safety with their original plan, found they had done a no-no, was hesitant to touch said no-no, when no-no starts making annoying sounds, gets others annoyed. Take life into hands to undo and silence no-no. Wait 5 count 'em count 'em 5 hours for said person to turn up. Do three minutes on no-no, 'but it was easier than...', spend time wasted getting upto speed, just managed to do a cut to work plan (due to wrong sensors ordered ) to get it finished in time, me aside from ordering the bits and bobs I could have done the project minus the docs which he still has to do in about a week... <<end moan="">>
