Linux needs to be a Canadian goose. Those cobra chickens are just fine when you let them do their thing and ignore all the shit left behind cause you’re not sure it’s important to the planet, but the moment you start to mess with it and you don’t know what you’re doing they will fuck you up!

Maybe, just maybe, Comcast should have spent all those government subsidies to update its infrastructure to full fiber and not bullshit like packet shaping, inspection and throttling to improve its bottom line and stop customers from using to the fullest extent the very thing we were paying for.

Before I moved, the local government subsidized fiber came into my neighborhood in 6 months (I was pretty far out there in the burbs) and I had 4gbit fiber for $80 a month compared to the forced triple play package I was locked into so I could have the fastest speed from Comcast (800mbit/30mbit) for astounding $350 a month. Top that off, I had a data cap I nearly exceeded monthly of 1tb and that cost and additional $50 for “unlimited“.

So good riddance Comcast/xfinity.

If anyone wants to come claim the USA as part of this, the key is under the rock to get in. We will need help removing the current and unwanted occupants, but a large number of us would gladly accept open trade and work with the EU.

• also, it seems that some idiot landing in a boat some 250 years ago and claiming the land, doesn’t really matter. So, remove the pests and claim it as new Europe.

Only if the bad people are killing the good people that we like. At this point I’ll be not surprised when we find out Nigeria has oil or rare minerals.

“I don’t travel on potentially doomed subs without these 10 things from amazon, you won’t believe how cheap number 1 is!!”

For those of us old enough to load games from cassette, this is fun. Unnecessary, sure, but fun.

Economy Airline seats for most planes are 17-18”, so thats pretty cool. So this car with 19” is yet another seat that my shoulders won’t fit in. At least I won’t be fighting my seatmates for arm rests.

Yeah, sorry. Nerded out there for a sec on description. I don’t remember the lag that much, doom was ok. I think we all upgraded to 10Base-T ethernet (you remember the bnc stuff) after playing quake and host tended to have the gaming advantage. A few of us worked at a pc repair shop, so we could source (aka borrow) the parts if we couldn’t afford to buy them.

A few laters Quake world came out, someone finally popped for a hub and we all had 100mbit cards installed. But around then, we got @HOME in my neighborhood and gamespy was my new friend. I hated hauling my whole setup once a month after a year or so.

Token Ring is a network protocol where a token—a small data packet—circulates around a ring topology, allowing only the device holding the token to transmit data, thus avoiding collisions. We played Doom and Quake.

Does anyone remember the exit came command? Legit done playing this release, it’s not fun anymore.

Seriously, 20 years from now we’ll all look back at this and go “wow, that was some crazy shit”

I remember getting a copy of linux from my friends at a local LAN party (though it was tokenring party for us) around ‘96. 2 floppy disks. I’m 99% sure it was slackware.

Yes, that’ll slow them down… they are obligated to delete everything too… yep, totally gonna do it.

Oh, good. I was worried we might actually get to keep a platform free of garbage. Whew. Can’t wait for all those conspiracy nuts to join in too!

Seriously, if someone would just off Putin, that’d be great. Let Russia fall into a little civil war as smaller leaders fight amongst themselves for the scraps.

+1 for cloudflare. But I don’t use their tunnel products, I just expose my ports to only their known IPs. With cloudflare you have a nice “free” waf in front with tls that points to a secure(nginx proxy) or unsecured docker container. Audiobookshelf is a great example. Is best to use their dns product too, for easy management of your public facing sites.

I hate to add to the conspiracy, but I know my eye doctor uses a 3rd party which has sections of their hipaa privacy acceptance which allows them to use your info to sell you ads if you don’t decline. Phreesia, is the 3rd party company. Now add the other apps that track your location… time spent there…

and I know my grocery store does the same when you use the discounts. and worse, they have facial recognition so I can’t even opt out (kroger).

Your issue was likely a combo of that.

+1 on this. Though i picked up 2 u7’s. VLAN support, easy to maintain and lets face it, superior function from most retail APs. If you’re a power user, this is the way.

Yep. This is the new answer. Either buy a model assured to have jailbreak and replace the stock privacy nightmare; or spend more $$$ on a dumb tv.

Before eSIM, tmobile global data and text in 150 countries was the dream for my 5x trips a year. Now I just pop into the Eu and pick up a prepaid month European esim and spend €20+€15 additional month vs the $200 a year I was spending. Italy even has a deal in the summer now for €15 for 30 days.

Yeah, that was a typo and my experience is limited towards the AWS side which is also facing this issue. But the numbers are there, some people have been at Amazon for a decade, so 20 months (if they had MY package of 2mos per year). Amazon was throwing everything at new hires, because they were making bank on their work.
