I too was in middle school when Columbine happened. The next year we weren’t allowed to wear trench coats… In Phoenix…
Sam didn’t spring for the ad-free tier and now has to have his time wasted?
I like the cut of your jib, Tex.
How would you prepare for telecom? I’ve got a background in IT and have been trying to switch to Software Engineering by learning React and TypeScript. Would the skills compare at all?
I’ve never used an Android that felt like it was out of beta testing yet and they stopped making Windows phones and BlackBerrys (BlackBerries?). I only used my phone for texting and email and my significant other talked me into an expensive-ass iPhone 8 and I’ve just kinda kept going with them. I have an 8 and a 12 and I plan on using the 12 until it falls apart and then go back to the 8 until that one dies too. If e-ink phones aren’t a thing by that time I’ll get a dumb phone and separate device for Authenticator passcodes.
As for why - I don’t need the latest and greatest features on my phone. It may be an old way of thinking but I’d rather use a computer and dumb phone over a smart phone on its own.
I did the same recently and can’t recommend them more. They’re wonderful. I can’t imagine a world without one and I’m shocked that they didn’t become the staple in every household decades ago. Big TP really did a number on my country.
VPN is connected. I have gotten bursts of up to 180kbps downloads that slowly deteriorate to nothing. Currently sitting at 0 upload, 0 download. Collecting bonus points for seeding I guess? But I have no idea what the issue is. I tried switching to a random port and I saw some activity for a couple seconds, but it quickly went to 0 again. I’m so tilted.
Sorry, I’m on mobile and I’m not sure if the commenter removed their post so my comment lost context but I can’t see their comment in my post on mobile for some reason.
While the file is downloading I do not see any uploading happening either. I was messing around trying to set up a vpn docker container last night and couldn’t get everything playing nicely but I’m not even seeing any downloading going on anymore either.
Docker ports are 1:1 mapped. 63430:63430. I’ve mapped all the ports 1:1, added them to the firewall for tcp and udp on the device AND port forwarded them through the modem.
Separately, I’m also getting 0 upload on other devices that aren’t docker containers. Seems like my ISP is just blocking all upload traffic. I see peers connect and disconnect.
I shouldn’t be, I own a single family home. I’ll research this further though.
Yeah, I’m definitely not behind a CGNAT.
I can, yes.
Excellent questions.
I do not download and upload at the same time.
The server is exclusively wired so I can’t try it on a hotspot but I can try connecting my laptop to a hotspot and check connections between them. I don’t have friends or family or a friendly network I can try anywhere nearby, unfortunately.
I can try creating a torrent sometime soon but I need to take a break. I’m starting to see the terminal when I close my eyes.
I went all out and sold my PS5, bought a guitar and have been teaching myself how to play. I feel awkward because I didn’t just move to Lenny but now I can play dope ass riffs.
FFXIV for sure is up there. Probably my most hours in a single game. The first several Monster Hunter games are so similar that I kinda want to count all their hours together. If I did that then the MH franchise MAY surpass XIV. Either one is a hell of an experience and I don’t regret any of it.
I think there’s a difference between being a shitty person and being unwilling to help and being repeatedly used because you’ve helped out a couple of times before and now people end up leveraging your kindness. I personally subscribe to the line of thinking in the comment you replied to after giving the person I’m working with the benefit of the doubt that it’s a justified emergency a couple of times. I have a list of people at work now that I’ll still assist but I don’t jump at the opportunity as quickly because everything is an emergency to them and I think that’s just as shitty as not helping someone.
Just to clarify, I phrase it a bit differently: Not “piss-poor planning” but rather “a lack of planning” since it sounds less aggressive.
Fire in the Sky. It’s about an alien abduction and the dude has PTSD and flashbacks throughout. Ruined maple syrup for me for a long time.
My parents are close to 65 and completely out of touch. If you turn 65 during your next term you should be ineligible.
