The cloud flare unique visitors counts requests made by other federated instances. My solo instance reads around 14k unique visitors in the past week.

Tbf, a lot of these multi gig plans are geared to families, where more than one person could be doing high bandwidth activities. Or even just one person doing high bandwidth things doesn’t cause the other persons zoom call to stutter.

That being said, ain’t no one NEED 20gbits but by god I would enjoy it.

Love this quote from Iron Man 3.

_ “The human element in ‘Human Resource’ is our biggest vulnerability. We should start phasing it out immediately”_

billygoat ,

That is inefficient, we should put windmills on solar panels.

At first I thought it was a scoop of ice cream. Nope, crack pipe.

billygoat ,

At this point I assume every terrible decision like this is done for SEO reasons.

billygoat ,

I have the same SSD thought, except every time they come down HDD prices also go down.

billygoat ,

Tbf, minimum cost is going to be $4k, so for him/her the minimum was $8k. We don’t know their financial situation but that is a lot of money to cough up.

billygoat ,

Totally agree, but not everyone has the finances to do a big upfront cost like that. Same story as the $10 vs $50 pair of shoes from a century ago.

billygoat OP ,

I think I like this option the best. I’ve got a month before I get back home and have the fiber installed and the shipping from Ali express lines up.

billygoat OP ,

Personally I don’t think I will be getting anything over 5gb fiber so as long as it can do 10gb combined then it should be okay.

billygoat OP ,

Ended up buying this, arrived this week, and have it all setup. Was pretty simple to get it configured. Now just need to wait another week for google fiber to be installed.

billygoat OP ,

It has been a bit over 3 weeks and everything has been really smooth. I forgot to mention last time but I got the R86S-N with the N305. This was due to research showing that the N100 would not be able to hold 5gbits throughput and I wanted to have some wiggle room in case I upped the number of firewall rules.

Getting consistent 5.5gbits down, 5.6gbits up on speed tests. Steam download peaks at 213MiB/s and holds around 190MiB/s(but this could be the max I can get from steam🤷).

No issues with the R86S-N, no random reboots or forced reboots. Opnsense install was quick and didn’t cause issues.

Could this be a case of gen z having a larger online presence than boomers? Kind of like how people from Florida are more likely to be attacked by sharks than someone from Kansas?

Edit: I somehow missed this on the first pass.

There are a few theories that seem to come up again and again. First, Gen Z simply uses technology more than any other generation and is therefore more likely to be scammed via that technology

billygoat ,

Yeah, all I can think of is that they would play ads 24/7 right in front of the parking spot.

billygoat ,

My favorite are the chargers at buc-ees. Get to buy some beef jerky and a bbq sandwich while charging.

billygoat ,

You would be correct. It was a single prop.

billygoat ,

The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets. Event organizers have said more rain was expected through Sunday before the festivals ends on Monday.

Uh…

billygoat ,

On top of what ShustOne said, I would argue that they have know this for over 10 years and was the reason they created Netflix originals starting with House of Cards.

billygoat ,

It’s never gone above 35C/95F

I think I speak for 99% of the people here when I say “FUCK THAT”

billygoat ,

I think I misunderstood him. I assumed he meant that the inside of his house was 95, but I think he meant that the outside was 95. Still anything over 80 indoors I can’t handle.

Edit: nope just read his other reply and it was 95 inside. Again, fuck that.

What film, show or game that is not necessarily 'underated' didn't have the level of social impact it deserved.

What’s the antithesis of Arrested Development, Firefly or The Big Lebowski? Those may never have ‘found their audience’ but over time seemed to recognised by everyone. What are the deep cuts that you liked but it feels like everyone has completely forgotten they even existed.

billygoat ,

Lol same, I joined FMHY first because I wanted in on a smaller instance. I now self host. Fool me once.

billygoat ,

Exactly 😂

billygoat ,

Let’s be real here, for a gas station Casey’s has damn good pizza.

billygoat ,

That’s what I was thinking. I don’t think I’ve seen them available in the last 3 months.

billygoat ,

The one example I’ve heard that makes sense are NFTs to represent a purchase of digital games. This then allows the selling of digital keys second hand.

Other than that it all sounds like a scam.

billygoat ,

Of course not, but what little I know of NFTs is they do the two things needed for that to be possible: one, ability to transfer ownership, and two, verify ownership.

I have no clue if NFTs are the best way to accomplish that, let alone even a good way, and people much smarter than me can figure that out.

In the end I don’t think it matters. For it to be viable it would require the big companies to adopt it, which I never see them accepting a legal way to do second hand sales of digital goods.

Person who lived in Europe in the early 90s here. Couldn’t give blood until earlier this year due to the Mad Cow restrictions.

That was my first thought, get a few of them and create yourself a scootermox cluster 😂

Comcast, Centurylink Fail To Derail Community-Owned Gigabit Fiber Network In Bountiful, Utah (www.techdirt.com)

The city of Bountiful, Utah voted to build a $48 million fiber network to provide affordable gigabit broadband for its residents and businesses. Regional internet providers Comcast and CenturyLink opposed the plan and tried to force a public vote through a taxpayer group they fund. However, communities often build their own...

billygoat ,

Good! The only reason I am able to have affordable fast internet is due to having 3 real high speed options: google fiber(5gb max), att fiber(2gb max), and spectrum(1gb max). If only one of those existed at my location I would bet I would have worse service at a higher price.

billygoat ,

+1 this. I went further and have a 3 node proxmox cluster with a mix of beelink and minisforum pcs. If I find that I need more cpu power I can add another node to the cluster and drop the weakest link and proxmox handles moving all the vms/lxcs

At $50 a month using cloud services you could buy a very beefy mini pc but that also means you have to manage it. I’d say that it took about a month of setting up everything to get to a point where I only log into proxmox ~1-2 times a month.

billygoat ,

Thank you for the info. I set my instance up yesterday as well and my goal today was to do this.
