If you can traffic shape cell network data, thats not much different. Everyone has to BGP peer with another network to provide connectivity to other networks. I guess its just where do you prioritize one type of customer traffic over another

Yeah they got the Firefly experience there

You can traffic shape wired traffic as well

I know a guy who bought in to it. I asked him recently how thats going for him. He is underwater and bag holding… the hype for many retail investors was real. Glad I didnt jump in.

I am seeing this more and more at my work. My manager uses it to fill in the gaps of his knowledge. On the surface he seems incredibly knowledgeable, but in a real meeting where he has to speak to his AI generated ideas, he has a dull stare.

Good thing I dont use Windoze 11

People only saw the percentage returns and not the human cost. We haven’t learned our lessons and are doomed to repeat the same scenarios.

That’s a fair point to bring up. You’re right that it is an investment that has paid for itself in terms of a streaming service. Much better than hooking a laptop up to a TV and playing files directly, forgetting which episode you are on, or where you stopped watching a movie when you want to resume.

My thought with Jellyfin is that I don’t generally watch outside my home network. I have sent invites to friends to watch my library, but none do. So most of the features I don’t use at all. I could have saved myself the money, learned how Jellyfin works, and probably set it up exactly how I currently use Plex by now.

I bought a plex pass about 5 years ago. I figured it would be a reasonable long term investment. I am starting to think I should have just gone with Jellyfin to start with.

Made me snort with that one

Good thing I put mine in airplane mode when I first got it and never updated firmware. I load books like its a flash drive.

As someone who designs and builds networks as a profession, I don’t see this being a great idea. Maybe I just don’t have all the facts.

I am leaning heavily on the example of M$ trying an underwater datacenter, which they decommissioned and have not pursued further. Put a node of compute somewhere and eventually it will become obsolete or unusable due to hardware failure. Not to mention the energy requirements and cooling needed in space. Waste heat does not just dissipate unless it has a heat sink, which adds more volume and mass to the payload!

Yep

You summed it up perfectly

That’s a valid question, especially with AI coding being so prevalent.

There has been a lot of data mining in the past few months that indicates they are working on something that has yet to be released, which is very likely a Half Life game. I’ve been watching the HLX Files series by Tyler McVicker for a while as he sticks to just facts without much hype.

The only games I’ve struggled with are those with codecs that are not distributed with Proton. Installing GE-Proton solved it.

99.99% of games on Linux unlocked.

I agree with you on this. Let it handle things you don’t care about and massage the output if necessary. Anything I do care about, I code myself, but will ask for help if I get stuck on something. I’m a novice programmer at best, 18/100 skill score.

Jerboa works great. I haven’t had a strong urge to check out any other app
