From what I've noticed while on commutes is that most commersial stuff is electric. Busses, company vehicles and other transportation has switched to electric, but long haul trucks have not. I assume that's because of the energy density of diesel for stuff like transportation of heavy products.

I had some fun issue with inconsistent speeds a while back so I set up a docker container to periodically run a speed test and show that on a web gui. After about a month I stopped at ~200tb of network traffic both ways, not because I got a warning, but because I scared my isp shitless with statistics clearly illustrating them that they're not delivering the service I pay for.

You're not wrong.... By becoming a fish, you get to escape life's responsibilities like paying taxes and working.

I suggest you become a fish...

I assume this is because people link to other websites like Twitter, so twitter's trackers get mixed in with analytics for lemmy

I guess one pro to decentralized federated instances is the fact that noone can block them completely. And if one gets blocked, another one can spin up and deliver the same content.

im just surprised that there weren't any checks that could have prevented an unknowing customer from exposing their devices. Nothing on the fiber modem was labeled, so im kinda worried how many things could be potentially exposed

I'm sorry

I had a fun little issue a while back where my isp replaced our fiber modem to one that didn't allow for port forwarding. The settings were missing but when I set up dmz host on that to allow our equipment to work again, I noticed it was behind some nat in their system. I found out I could call them to get functionality restored for a fee, but instead I plugged in the old box and still keep an external ip with port forwarding enabled and no nat. To be honest the old one has been a lot less stubborn as it doesn't drop every 10th packet on the network. I switched back about 6 months ago, and I've not had any issues, so we'll see when they call demanding me to plug in the new one. Their explanation for switching systems was that their old one wasn't powerful enough for gigabit speeds, even though both have interfaces for gigabit sfp. After some testing, the old one was more capable and stable at those speeds. I assume they wanted to switch systems due to some licensing thing, or to get more money from the .5% of people who care about these features.

Whoa thanks for the info! Some of them look pretty scary when they're long.

Idk seems fine to me
