I hope that you don’t all find yourselves with your own version of this guy, with too much unilateral authority… Good luck neighbors in the North

Log on to BBS, play LORD and post to forums with local users, maybe chat a bit. Fire up sirdoom, waste a few bozos with a BFG. Drive to my buddies house maybe smoke some weed…

Reddit killed third party apps, and so they killed my engagement with them. Why go back?

This all day. USB3 has plenty of bandwidth to keep those spinners busy, and a cheap pc can be bought for under $200 that would handle all the services op described, plus more.

I bought an n150 with 12gb RAM, dual 2.5gb nic, built in nvme and USB 3.2. it uses like 15w of power, is basically silent, and with a 5 bay HDD attached I’ve got enough storage for whatever.

Building a home lab server from components is only a good idea if you have some really specific use case not covered by cheap imports…

Harry and the Hendersons when they make him leave. Lithgow telling him he wasn’t wanted 😢

I’m actually planning to do just about that, based on the discussion in this thread.

I found that I can get an unmanaged switch with 4 2.5gbe ports for under $60, I can use my existing cabling at that speed. I’ll upgrade my aging router to an x86 (n100 or similar) and load my favorite router distro on it. Use that as the router, connect Wi-Fi APs (might even use the eero they give me that way).

I’ll upgrade my systems on the Ethernet using USB dongles (several options at around $20 each)

I’m feeling that improving much beyond 2.5 internally is a bit of a waste at this point.

Thanks to all posters in this thread!

At this stage I don’t know - but they seem to describe a setup where they are essentially providing a WiFi 7 router as an access point, which connects to another piece of hardware acting as the gateway

Ezee fiber is the ISP. Eero max 7 WiFi. XGS PON agree, it is symmetrical

Interesting point about cg nat. With my current ISP setup I get an actual (dynamic) ip4 address and ip6 thru 6rd. Can I still point my domain to the nat’d address?

Why?

Every time I post it’s in the wrong community or against some rule and I get the hammer

I post things I want to see, but I’m apparently alone in that desire

Agree it’s not that complicated Many ddns providers can update aaaa just as they do a records… Most isp should either be providing some range of native ipv6 addresses, or some kind of 4-to-6 translation. It’s 2024 - we’re beyond RFC 791 specs I find it helpful to deal with prefix delegation by providing a “token” for nmcli to use. Then the ddns script can locate your defined suffix and push it to to the host

Melting pot

Good things: you get someone to spend time with. Frequent sex. Someone to share your world with.b you tell your secrets, you trust them

Bad things: they have their own needs, even when it isn’t convenient for you. You have to accept that you’re a partnership, and their judgement is important. You trust them, whether or not they deserve it. You are open and vulnerable, which means you’re vulnerable. Sex can be mechanical and unfulfilling. Your growth needs to include them

Yep this. They are afraid that their way of life is being threatened… Just like the other fanatics There are religious fanatics, sporta fanatics, Independent fanatics prepping for the aliens to come and kill them, etc. Mobs are dangerous no matter the flag they wave.

I remember it being pretty incredible that there were other users out there I could talk to. I had heard about email and I got an address! I didn’t know anyone to email, but I had an address! Chat was amazing. BBS systems offered text games, like LORD - which also took things to a new level. Participation in discussion forums on BBSes and AOL led me to forums on the Web. At school we used to use gopher but the www was more fun (if you could see past the construction sign graphics) and you could always see the hit counters and guestbook links on most pages. Then the construction signs got more sophisticated and animated😀 The early-mid-90s Internet was glorious. Google showed up after Yahoo was too littered with ads… Some guys in college made a search engine that prioritized speed - dreadfully important at analog speeds…
