7·9 days agoI have 10Gbit and hunted that whale. But I didn’t build my own router. Electricity is $0.51 Kw/h. Ouch.
First, 10Gbit hardware is more available now than years ago, so you have more options. I started off with the router my ISP gave me. It worked, but it was 1Gbit. Not going to do for me. Plus, basic function was paywalled. Booooo! Snagged a broken Asus router and got it working great.
With IDS/IPS enabled, I get about 3.5Gbps. There is newer router tech today that looks interesting with fewer bottlenecks that would have been nice years ago, but not worth the upgrade right now.
My desktop hits about 2Gbps downloading Steam games/updates, but my partners desktop lags behind with SATA SSD storage. Definitely need NVME with that speed.
I will say my experience with 10Gbit Ethernet cards is not positive. I have a lot of intermittent disconnections and there are a lot of bugs vs 1Gbit switches. They do not like sharing with 2.5Gbit devices. I keep my server on 1Gbit connections. It’s plenty fast for my needs though.
The law says all vehicles must yield to them, even if they were “breaking the law”.
Source? I’d like to read that.
I sort of do this because I own my domain. I generally pick an annual keyword email filters can lock on, followed by an identifier with whom I’m contacting.
It’s easy to trace if addressed get breached, especially unreported breaches, and add to a burn list if they get spammed.
Also, if I have no intention of responding I give fake info or if I need that rare password reset link I know when to look in the spam.
Yeah, using my domain is it’s self a bit trackable, but enough friends and family use it I figure poisoned data is sweet justice.
Fun fact, but for some reason old fake accounts have boomed in popularity; like data brokers with bad information bounce verifications off each other, linked it to some poor sap in another state, and snowballed into an actual profile. I’m going to use that identity as an alt profile for something someday.

Shut up and take my resume!
2·1 month agoHa! You think you can scare me with a haircut?
10·1 month agoExcited for that jump. How do I buy tickets?
Weeeelllllll… Yeah I guess you have a good point. If something did happen, finger pointing starts.
Gestures at wires
But it’s right there! I need a 1-day OSHA permit just to yank crap out!
I kinda want one of these. I could load it up with my collection. It’d be awesome. I can imagine my SO’s blood boiling already at the sight of “more useless junk”!
And what do you need an electrician for? Turn off power, open a panel, and disconnect the wires. Snip snip. Frankly, I’m surprised a dedicated switch/breaker for a 3rd party kiosk isn’t mandatory.
If only I had the space …
What? An item wouldn’t have both dates. But almost everything has at least one.
So we’re changing “Sell By” and “Best Before” to "Use By” and "Best if Used By”
I don’t really see this helping food waste at the consumer end, but greatly benefits supermarkets by allowing products to remain on shelves longer and closer to spoilage.
However, in that case customers could have less margin to use their purchased groceries before they go bad.
I think this has a chance to backfire. There is greater incentive to dig around for the product with the most time. Those who frequently shop or most desperate would buy the items expiring sooner, but folks like me who only really check items I’ve been burned on, will start checking everything. I’m not buying a $3.99 head of lettuce with 2 days left.
EDIT: don’t grocery stores already donate lots of near-expiration unspoiled food to support systems? I thought there was a organization in CA that coordinated all that. They may see a dip in donations.
Raises paddle
$2.50!
If I recall you still can through ADB, but it’s a pain and they started locking that down too. Ad blocking VPN (at least the one I tried) didn’t work.
There was a big update about a year ago that very clearly sent the message “this device will show what we want you to see.”
While based on Google TV, they lock down the OS, control the app store, and force their apps. You’re in their walled garden and it’s a pain to break out in any meaningful way.
No thanks. It’s all about data harvesting and ads now.
There was a time it was a neat product, but Amazon tech isn’t entering our household anymore.
The painting “This is not a pipe” sort of touches on this very topic. A picture is not the thing pictured much like a photo of an AI image is not that image.
Fun mind teasers!
132·2 months agoA % of customers won’t return an incorrect product so an accidental sale is still a sale. It sucks, but statistically benefits the company.
I get tricked now and then too by products that ended up not matching my search. So annoying.
Totally right. Forgot what community I was in.
Don’t most? Even Fitbit does that for ages. You can select what apps to receive notifications from.
Those are features, not bugs now. They know exactly who they picked.
