Facebook is EXPLICIT that they do not care about this. If you report the post they will respond that financial fraud is NOT something they pursue as part of their community standards.

Not sure of the exact shows she wants but since I 'cut the cord' from Comcast video services 4 years ago I haven't found a single show that I couldn't watch when I wanted to using on-demand streaming. Initially I went with YouTubeTV because of their 'unlimited' cloud DVR but with their price...

Just drop their video service completely, go data only and get a good streaming box - FireTV or Roku or whatever. You’ll get more choices than Comcast will ever offer and have more control over what you want to pay for. Linear cable service days are over…

That is the lie they are hoping to hook people with. It is 1.2mbps down, 40up - with a promise of symmetrical speeds later in 2023 in “limited markets”. They’ve talked about possibility of 10g in docsis 4.0 with deployment many years down the line. Maybe. They do have a few (very few)...

Uh huh…marginally higher maybe. They do have plans to (eventually) offer symmetric upload speeds. But it’s not “10g” speeds. It’s marketing.

Marketing. Pure marketing, no meaning, no substance,

But of course I do and they have yet to comment to me about it. Likely because it is used very lightly and, overall, I am still more than 10x below their overall usage limit. If you were more aggressive about it they would likely assert their TOS and bill you and/or kick you off. Like almost...

Definitely never use UPNP. It is a security risk disaster. If your router supports it you should disable it ASAP. Port forward is OK - but better to port-forward to a reverse-proxy server in your network than directly to the NVR. Something like Traefik or HA-Proxy. Lots of examples of how...

There is a good reason most router/firewall software is based on BSD. Other than sheer momentum and the fact they they have just forked each others code (.e.g, PFSense/OpenSense, etc.). Most of these platforms rely on OpenBSD Packet Filters, which until recently only existed in the BSD kernel...

OpenWRT is Linux based.

Does MIL use a humidifier?

Born pre-JFK assassination. Was also major driver for IPv6 consumer introduction at a large wireless company. Sometimes the old guys are drivers for change - we are not all stuck living in the past ;)

I don't know how to define "a lot". But I did just look and I have 63 wifi clients currently attached at my house. I would guess that makes my network somewhat above average.

This. +10,000. NAT is a thorn in the side of the internet. While it might not bother your day-to-day web browsing there are literally thousands of applications that are not "NAT safe" and require Application Specific Gateways to make them work right, which has led to security nightmare...

Disregarding the opinionated part... The effective lifespan of IPv4 has been extended by the widespread adoption of CG-NAT by the largest ISPs and the growth of IPv6 on the interior of most large scale networks like AWS, Azure, the ISPs themselves, wireless carriers, etc. This has allowed the...

You are seeing faster speeds on things that use acknowledged protocols (TCP/HTTP/etc) like web browsing, file downloads and even speedtest sites? But video conf apps like Zoom, etc., generally use unacknowledged transfers. If you are seeing speed improvements but choppy video my first thought...

I think its something on your client's side. I just visited your link - and that is a beautiful dog. No HTTPS required...

I've not seen that. Mine are still sitting at 10-12% utilization on 2GB. What add-ins are you running?

For cameras and other IoT devices - whether they are from China or anywhere else - you should really block ALL traffic except on the ports and IPs that they are supposed to be talking to. Better still if you can isolate them on their own layer 2 (their own physical LAN) or at least VLAN...

Terminate the ends with rj45 connectors and then put them together with something like https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwip0eCB7dnlAhWbH60GHeDHBMAYABAgGgJwdg&sig=AOD64_2o8-JTcFrRO5RKP1OEtqMASMOYlQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwiJitmB7dnlAhWwJzQIHTbYCTkQwg96BAgMEBA&adurl=. Then protect as...

All that SSD love over 1Gbe LAGs? Like running on a blown hamstring... Nice touch on the mounting though. I do hope you have direct airflow through those things. They will get plenty hot packed in that dense.

In that case - and since you are familiar with working with raw SBCs like the Raspberry - give the Odroid-H2 a close look. J4015 based (very slight downclock from the J5005 and a few less graphics cores, but otherwise identical). Unfortunately they are out of stock until May or so due to Intel...

Look on eBay for used HP Elitedesk 800 G2 mini PCs. They are really small and quiet. Depending on how much you want to spend you can get anything from a low end i3 to an i7-6700t. They h ave space for a 2.5” drive and an NVMe m.2 slot. There are good ones with i5-6600t and 16gb ram listed...

Have you ever been to Ripon? It’s a farm town with a bunch of soccer fields built in a farm runoff basin. Add in some dodgy industrial sites and farm chemical processing. It is a cesspool of carcinogens...blaming the cell tower is almost comical.

Google stopped building out because they discovered its expensive to build and they couldn't meet their financial return objectives. Like duh!, As to why there is no residential fiber in the Silcon Valley - that falls almost exclusively to the local jurisdictions making it really hard and far...

For Verizon its likely about cleaning out the residue of the landline business. Remember that >70% of their bodies work in that old tech. As for the Tumbler question, I think I read earlier that the Oath (former Yahoo/AOL) people were not included in the voluntary offer.

It’s voluntary - nobody had to take it unless it worked positively for them. And its generous. Most of the people taking it are either retirement ready and got a nice bonus or they work in fields and in places that are near zero unemployment (as in, they are getting better jobs). So yeah, I’d...

Wipe out the labels. If you have a Linux machine drop it in an "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX obs=4096 count=10". Replace "sdX" with the correct drive name. This will write zeros over the first 10 sectors (assuming 4k sectors, of course). Should be enough to make the drive look wiped to any...

Ah, nostalgia. My first programming job was a data management system for a school district written in a mix of Cobol and assembly code (really - yes). Late 70s, still running on an IBM-1401. We had one old guy keepign it alive while others worked to port in place to a 1401 emulator running on...

An article suggesting that a national intelligence service got caught doing their job...wow, amazing. The problem isn't that people are trying to steal from you - the problem is the totally lazy job done protecting the info.

I could be wrong, but that's not the way the Commerce Clause of the constitution works. The FCCs prior claims (now rescinded) were undertaken under Title II, which traces its authority to the Commerce Clause. The regulation of Interstate Commerce is reserved as the sole responsibly of the...

How come the state isn't required to post billboards: "wildfire smoke is known to the State of CA to cause cancer".

Going into Home Depot on Saturday there was a new HUGE sign (over 3 ft square) that read "those entering this facility will be exposed to wood dust. Wood dust is known to the State of California to cause Cancer". This state has gone completely off the rails.

Or perhaps those of us who are old enough to have seen the hundreds of "next big things" that failed getting us to our current world see VR for what it is. There are some very important technologies being developed here, but a world where masses of people cover their eyes just isn't going to...

Maybe VR headset sales plunged because - like 3dtv - nobody cares except the promoters hucksters?

+1. This. Exactly.

OpenWRT is a "kinda competitor" to pfSense. While they can do pretty much the same thing they are targeted to very different applications. OpenWRT is targeted as a replacement OS/Firewall for embedded WiFi routers. It if FOSS to run on your Linksys/Cisco/Ubiquiti/etc wifi box as a...

Not even close to accurate. NN played no role here. The complaint alleges violations of general business law (fraud and deception). The fact that it happened when NN was in force is immaterial. And the fact that the remedy is being applied after NN ended is immaterial (or maybe not - if NN...

Not only happened while Net Neutrality was in place, but the remedy relied on general business law. Net Neutrality did nothing to stop or even moderate this bad behavior, it provided no value in identifying and proving it, and it played no part in the remedy. In short, Net Neutrality was...

Taking images and speech snippets is a bit of an escalation, but both Google and Apple track so much activity info that they already have your whole usage history logged. Why so much animus against the Chinese when our own American companies are at least as bad?
