Hellmo, making sure that the kid knows this is peak life right here. Someone feeds you, someone wipes your ass. But tomorrow, well tomorrow you’re on your own. Hellmo welcomes you.

Trading Places, is the movie. 80’s movie

Ok, you poke fun but there are public bathrooms in Italy that have a hose and nozzle just like this near the toilet so you can rinse.

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.

Heh, 18. Got some cool ones too

Who’s going to stop him?

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.

That’s because they are tracking what you watch to place relevant ads. You need more than pihole to stop them

Rokus are relentless

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.

Check out the sunrise times in the summer. 5am, we’re seeing dawn breaking. I’m not hiking in the dark, nor on a trail I don’t know. Also, flashlights help for those 20 min.

Ha, come hang with me in the summer on a Saturday. We’ll start climbing a 14,000 foot mountain (thats like 4600 meters for my EU friends) at 5/6am with intent on reaching the peak before 12. Why 12? Because the afternoon thunderstorms are rolling in and lets just say lightning is electrifying at 14000…. Well, at any height really.

Boring, never.

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.
