Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
but so far at least I’m happy with the bandwidth.
Oh for sure, it’s boatloads and I love it… but I’m in the market for a /28. I want to hand them like $40 extra a month. LET ME PAY YOU QUANTUM/LUMEN/CENTURYLINK/LEVEL3. It’s effectively free money as once it’s setup there’s nothing that changes or goes down. There’s so little maintenance/upkeep cost to it that I just don’t understand why they don’t want to print free money.
I’ve been repeatedly told by everyone I talk to over there that it’s not ready yet… still… even though it was supposed to be ready by end of Q2 this year.
Calling them today still yielded the same answer for me.
I’m forced to use DDNS and a service to route my emails for me. But email and PBX servers really don’t do well on DDNS type stuff.
I have basically a full rack of equipment. Here’s the network side of it all. My desktop is 2 SPF+ fiber connections back to the core switch. Tons of stuff in my rack is all 10gbps or 40gbps.
Dual opnsense firewalls (top 2 slots, dual 40gbps connecting to core switches), though one is inactive until they let me buy static addresses. I run some business stuff on this. Boatloads of homelabbing and self-learning.
If you want to do full IPS/IDS, then yes you need some horsepower. But just connection with basic rules there’s plenty out there that’s not super expensive. Ubiquiti has their dream machine line which even the “cheap” $400 one can do 10gbps (2gbps with ips, or something like that. I dunno, I don’t keep tabs on them).
I didn’t stop any active connections/downloads happening on the network. I very likely had a gig of other stuff going elsewhere on the network.
Their “smart-nid” is also a router… so that works too, but I don’t trust it and in my setup it’s in transparent mode.
Edit: Formatting sucked
My personal best so far is 7TB in a month 😂
This is just my past month… I have no idea what my record is… but would likely be significantly higher as I slowed down on some stuff recently. I need more harddrive bays/harddrives… Stupid ebay doesn’t have what I want.
Edit: here’s past 90 days as well
Harris did not out perform Biden in ANY category.
The only downside is it’s still IPv6 Rapid Deployment.
And no static IP addresses yet… Even though it was supposed to be rolled out Q2.
And yet here I am in the USA with 8/8 Gbps fiber with no caps. Though I do pay $185 a month. I live in a Red state, and in a metro area, but not near the metro core, in unincorporated county land.
last 30 days stats to prove no caps:
Good thing what I actually said was
Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.
My point was that the advice was terrible. Not that there are other circumstances that could make it useful. Overall, as a general rule you shouldn’t want to just hold onto debt for no reason if you have means to pay it down. It’s also why I specifically showed 10% as well rather than just the typical 20% downpayment, it furthers my point that
you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.
“As much […] as you can” And not just some 20% or whatever magic number.
For it to be ironic, there would have to be some sense of Texans doing it to themselves. People coming in from another state is not a Texan’s fault. I don’t see the “irony” here.
This is terrible advice. Paying anything you can up front saves you several times over in the long run.
Let’s talk 500k house, 6%, 30 years, no pmi, no taxes, no extras…
Paying 100k (20%) up front you’ll pay: $863,352.76
Paying 50k (10%) up front you’ll pay: $971,271.85
Paying 0 up front you’ll pay: $1,079,190.95
Paying 20% down (100k) will save you over 200k.
If you intend to live in the house indefinitely, you’re so much better off if you put as much into the down payment as you can.
Edit: List formatting
but that it’s ironic that they didn’t think through the consequences
And what part of that consequence is the native Texan’s fault? If anything it simply proves their point.
If your vehicle isn’t disabled, what’s the big deal about stopping?
If you’re just careening down the highway at 80, you’re not really giving your car a fair chance to let you know that it’s really in a disabled state now are you?
It’s just common sense that after a major impact you should evaluate the safety of continuing in your current state. Stopping and doing the bare minimum of just looking at your car would be the first step of that process.
Real Autopilot also needs constant attention
Newer “real” autopilot systems absolutely do not need constant attention. Many of them can do full landing sequences now. The definition would match what people commonly use it for, not what it was “originally”. Most people believe autopilot to be that it pilots itself automatically. There is 0 intuition about what a pilot actually does in the cockpit for most normal people. And technology bares out that thought process as autopilot in it’s modern form can actually do 99% of flying, where take-off and landing isn’t exempted anymore.
Color doesn’t matter to Lidar… Oh wait… Elon nixed that.
We have evidence of the US messing with nist standards
What… You realize that NIST is literally a government agency? It’s part of the United States Department of Commerce. It’s literally the US government. Are you saying that the government is messing with itself? What does that even mean?
I don’t like what this bit of information is doing to discussions in Lemmy.
Cool. That’s fine that you don’t like it. However people have a right to not see what they don’t want to see. If they decide that means it’s lemmy.ml, then that’s their right.
Just like I have a right to not peer with lemmy.ml if I didn’t want to.
Hell I have a hard block on ALL Russian and Chinese IP addresses. Not because I have something against the people. But I just don’t want to deal with the headache of accepting traffic from those countries.
Just because some (or even a majority) of the people on lemmy.ml are fine to interact with doesn’t mean that there isn’t contention from other users and admins on that instance.
non-standard functionality of the latter.
My guy. In the 90’s ALL browsers were non-standard. Even at the protocol level.
http/0.9 - 1991
http/1.0 - 1996
http/1.1 - 1997
html/1.0 - 1991
html/2.0 - 1995 revised in 1996, and 97.
html/3.0 - 1997
html/4.0 - 1997 revised in 1998, 99, and 2000.
Then comes all the add-ons like flash, shockwave, etc… Nothing was standard at this time-frame. We threw everything possible into browsers. Toolbars for literally everything (I remember even having winamp controls in my browser).
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Evolution_of_HTTP
Between 1991-1995, these were introduced with a try-and-see approach. A server and a browser would add a feature and see if it got traction.
Literally sites and browsers would just implement stuff just to implement and see if it became used.
A lot of recent times (2010’s mostly) has been back peddling the mad rush of just shoving EVERYTHING into browsers. Now I actually fear we’re going to far though… With google removing useful backend stuff for plugins and such. I just hope Firefox never follows suit.
Trillium
Trillian, not trillium. And they’re actually still around.
Why we gotta do Derpy like that?
TOTP is cheaper.
SMS is actually expensive at scale. An example would be Signal, the messenger app that doesn’t use SMS. They have overhead for sending backup codes/new account creation/Verification/etc… https://www.wired.com/story/signal-operating-costs/ 6 million a year. API integrations for SMS messages/codes are still like 1-5 cents per message.
TOTP’s requirements? A reasonably accurate clock on the server, and storing the shared secret in a database.
