Yeah I’d check for fragmentation, particularly coming from whatever was on the opposite end of this tunnel. This looks like librespeed (which is super simple to run in a container, ‘adolfintel/speedtest‘, if interested…I run some at work and it’s very useful) so I’m assuming it was running on the server at the other end of the wireguard tunnel?

That latency and jitter are also absurd tho. Op should run a bufferbloat test on both sides. Though I don’t always trust those results from librespeed.

Serious privacy issues around copying cards. That means the store has to retain a physical copy of the full embossed card number.

There were boxes full of them in the backroom.

Pet peeve #209: implying DFW has a bigger furry scene than Austin. For some reason I doubt that.

This is bad practice.

More accurately it should look something like this:

# Load sys library for exiting with status code
import sys

def sayHelloWorld(outPhrase: str="Hello World"):
    # Main function, print a phrase and return NoneType
    print(outPhrase)
    return None

if __name__=="__main__":
    # Provide output and exit cleanly when run from shell
    sayHelloWorld()
    sys.exit(0)
else:
    # Exit with rc!=0 when not run from shell
    sys.exit(1)

Does DisplayPort also support audio?

Yes, DisplayPort supports multi-channel audio and many advanced audio features. DisplayPort to HDMI adapters also include the ability to support HDMI audio.

DDR. Would see scrolling arrows when I’d shut my eyes b

You wouldn’t download a serial killer.

But you could download countless murder-mystery audiobooks and ebooks from Libby, so that’s a close second.

Sigh…

git revert HEAD
echo \*.json.\* >> .gitignore
git commit

• Take picture with digital camera.
• Store as jpg
• Convert jpeg to base64 string
• Compress the string in a .zip split into 2.5KB chunks
• Encode the .zips as a base64 strings
• Render a QR code for each string.
• Print out all QR codes on a sheet
• Store in family photo album.

Most of that could be like 10 lines of python…

My primary laptop is a Lenovo T495s. I’m a big fan because my requirements for a laptop aren’t particularly demanding, but while a 5 year old Ryzen 7 is a bit aged, I’d hardly consider it underpowered, at least for my (and many others) needs. Laptops like this can easily be found in great condition and under $200. I spent a little more after a new nvme and maxing out ram.

I’m sure the only reason why they waited this long is that they needed to make sure it’s old enough that the companies they stole code from can’t sue.

There’s proctored private resale of IPv4.

A lot of orgs (mine included) are sitting on large chunks of IPs they don’t need (we have a /16 and several /24s) because they adopted early, got an ASN and prefix assigned by ARIN, and their addressing scheme is now so disjointed and scattered that they can’t sell off anything bigger than a /22, and that makes setting up BGP a pain. Juice ain’t worth the squeeze.

That’s just one loopback address.

I could list 2^24 IPv4 loopback addresses.

Because SecOps still thinks NAT is security, and NetOps is decidedly against carrying around that stupid tradition.

I somewhat disagree.

WYSIWYG document editors are terrible at getting things exactly as you want.

If you’re a perfectionist, especially in presentation, it’s probably easier to adopt TeX than it is to get (Open)Office to do exactly what you want into.

Right?

Like, I get it Nintendo, you want money. That’s understandable.

Then let me buy the damn games. I’d love to be able to buy roms to run in an official emulator, or ideally any emulator.

Honestly at this point why even bother with DRM. The roms for classic systems are absurdly easy to get. Hell even switch roms. But Nintendo insists the only way to play retro games legitimately is to buy either a monthly subscription, or a copy of the rom bundled with the official emulator that can only be run on that specific generation console, or buy dedicated system for it.

And even then its only the games they put out on the system/marketplace/subscription service. A tiny fraction of the library.

For the price the specs aren’t terrible.

Depending on need they can be a very effective device. Keep in mind they can also easily run a lot of android packages and Linux. Some come in tablet form factor with a keyboard folio case…I was looking at the Lenovo Duet for a while but ended up buying a OnePlus Pad recently.

Stadia has been abandoned for long enough I don’t think it’d be used in marketing.

This was the description:

Acer - Chromebook 516 GE Cloud Gaming Laptop - 16" 2560x1600 120Hz - Intel Core i5-1240P - 8GB RAM - 256GB SSD

Looks like it comes with 3 months of GeForce Now and Amazon Luna.

I was mistaken about the GeForce iGPU - that placard must’ve been for GeForce Now. It has an Iris Xe.

I think I saw Xbox Game pass in the marketing too.

Still, pretty cool idea.

I saw a “gaming Chromebook” for $649 (USD) at the big box electronics and appliance store today.

At first I was astounded, but it did have a high refresh rate display and some type of GeForce iGPU. Apparently designed around cloud gaming. Which is na interesting use case.

You can turn off the phone???
