Considering I can’t even identify the flavor by the label, I’m gonna say, no, probably not.

Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

Basically shit like that (it’s not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I’ve enabled “turbo” on my block button).

I guess what I’m saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won’t be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

I’ve blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don’t know what’s worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.

An unmanaged switch is just a single plane where all ports are equal. All ports share OSI layers 1 and 2. Anything you plug into port 24 can always reach anything you have plugged into port 3.

Managed switches (also sometimes known as “smart” switches) provide additional features on top of that. The most useful is VLANs (virtual LANs) which let you segregate traffic. Two ports on different VLANs share the same physical layer (layer 1) but are separated at the data link layer (layer 2). This lets you create up to 4096 different networks on the same switch; each network is isolated from the other. If port 24 and port 3 are on different VLANs, then they will not be able to communicate unless they can reach a common router at layer 3.

Additionally, managed switches let you do things like disable/enable ports (for security, power savings, etc), enable port mirroring, and combine multiple ports into an aggregation group (e.g. bond four 1 Gb links into one 4 Gb link).

The available features on a managed/smart switch vary by manufacturer and, often, by the license level (sadly common in enterprise gear). VLANs, port control, mirroring, and LAGs are usually common “baseline” features, though.

Or, you know, we could just quit it with this generational shaming nonsense. It’s not like human beings are complex creatures or anything.

Just an x64 box running OpenWRT.

Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?

Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town’s worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.

But there’s probably a point where cost for that vs height becomes prohibitive.

If the costs of engineering a tower is more than just buying more land, then why build taller?

Figured it’d be something like that. Explains why they get built out in the middle of nowhere since land is cheap.

Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive.

Probably a bit of “hiding in plain sight” that way, too. There are a few big datacenters relatively near me, and they’re massive compounds in the middle of even more massive corn fields. Kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you’re driving by.

Same boat. Declined their router and just use their ONT. Not that the router makes a difference, but my “wan6” interface has been waiting for an IP address for about the same amount of time as yours.

I have yet to play Skyrim with any mods even though I’d really like to. Only thing I have are the DLCs.

Getting it to run under Wine has been challenging enough (though it’s a lot easier these days) so I didn’t want to even attempt to mix mods into it.

I always start out with a random race, head in the opposite direction of Riverwood, eat everything I can pick up, and just start making and selling potions lol. Then I use the money to buy iron ore and start crafting daggers and selling those. Along the way, I may take a few side quests for extra cash. Then eventually buy or build a house.

By the time I finally go to Riverwood to start the main game, I’m…a fully Daedric-clad stealth archer. Every time. lol. (I don’t quite have the patience to level smithing to 100 for dragonbone, so I upgrade that along the way of the main quest).

^^ Every time I play Skyrim

Modern Classic problems require modern solutions.

Yeah, I don’t know about pre-installed with Android that aren’t ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I’d never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more “roll your own” in nature.

That person is giving me “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!” vibes. lol.

In a public park, you can absolutely ask random people to leave your party area. Not the park, but the space you are using. Double so if you’ve gone through the official channels to reserve that section.

And that goes both ways: If someone is having an event and one inserts themselves where they’re clearly not invited, then that person very much has issues respecting others’ boundaries.

It all boils down to people respecting each other.
