Well again, I’m only using /24 chunks of it.

The main reason I went with it is that it’s far faster for me to type “10.0.x.x” than to type “192.168.x.x”, especially on the keypad.

I use 10.x.x.x addresses at home, though split into /24 networks in each vlan.

I have the same issue (TRIPLE NAT’d! One of which is the CGNAT). Unfortunately I have external family that accesses from media boxes/TVs so those won’t work for me.

Thankfully I was able to get a small VPS server for $2/mo and set up some reverse tunnels with auto-ssh. Seems to be working fairly well so far.

All that said, I longingly look forward to the future when I don’t have to worry about NAT.

Because up until Broadcom bought them, it was a good product with a ton of useful features, endless supported integrations with 3rd party software and hardware, relatively easy to learn/use, with good support, all at reasonable and flexible price points depending on your needs.

Of course Broadcom has now thrown all of that into the toilet…

Yup. Looks like I’m making a trip to Dallas this weekend…

They have one called “Pink Drink”. It’s not available bottled, The only place I ever had it was at Austin City limits Festival a few years before the pandemic. It’s kind of a Prickly-pear Lemonade flavored soda. It was without a doubt the most delicious, refreshing beverage I have ever consumed, and the fact that I’ve never been able to find it since then is actually one of the biggest disappointments of my life.

I had garlic ice cream at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in California. Everyone leaving the free sample line had the exact same expression on their face as they tried the first taste:

Slightly scrunched up have with an expression that said, “I was really expecting this to be horrible but it’s not bad. Not great, but not bad.”

There’s a phrase you might give useful/insightful.

“Trust, but verify”

I use auto pay extensively so that if I forget (ADHD, yay) it still gets paid. But I do (try to) check every month that all the auto pay stuff did trigger properly.

Canon Rebel T6 with a 75-300mm lens (zoomed in to 300mm). This was one of the last shots right before I put the solar filter back on.

Yes and no. For the clouds that we did have, yes, the eclipse was enough to affect those.

However, for the clouds that we had earlier in the day, and that had been predicted that we might have, would have been far too heavy for eclipse to effect. Unfortunately my sister up in New York ended up in that situation, where it was far too heavy a cloud cover so they didn’t get to see anything. We had been predicted that we might have that, but that’s the manner in which we got lucky.

Or my dead-at-16yrs nephew.

Kind of. I don’t specifically pay attention to or know which sock is which. I just have a drawer full of all the same sock. So I just pick a random two and throw them on my feet without paying attention.

You had some fancy-ass McDonald’s in your area then. Ours has those flimsy tin/aluminum ashtrays.

That’s true of every study ever made, especially in today’s media environment.

And every probably done study includes acknowledgments of known shortcomings, most of the ones I’ve read include suggestions or thoughts about future studies that could be done to account for those known issues.

Media is to blame for most of the misinterpretations, not the studies themselves. It’s impossible to create a single, perfect study that can’t be misconstrued in some way.

No, odds are your parents didn’t buy a house in their 20s. Certainly it wasn’t common. And once they did, it was likely a small house. And it’s starting to piss me off that young adults think it was common.

• We (GenX) were 30 in a MCOL area, but with very good paying careers.
• My (boomer) parents were 35 when they finally got to buy a house in a LCOL area - and it was a real fixer upper that hadn’t been lived in for 2 years.
• Their (Silent/Greatest) parents didn’t buy a house until they were in their mid-30s in a M/HCOL area. On my mom’s side it was a 800ish sqft duplex with 1 bathroom where they raised 3 kids. Father’s side hadbit more room (maybe 1300ish) but still 1 bathroom and 3 kids.

And up to the point where we did buy a house, I always lived with roommates. There was only a couple month period where I ever lived by myself in an apartment, and it was a stretch, and I was glad (financially anyway) when I got a roommate again.

Neither of my parents ever lived alone l. They lived at home until they got married and rented together. Same for all my grandparents.

Based on what I’ve read, Len Sassaman seems the most likely candidate, but certainly nothing has been confirmed.

I quite certain however that douchebag extrordinaire, Craig Wrigh, is NOT Satoshi.

Um. Those have existed for years.

In this week’s episode of The Slow Mo Guys…

I’ve been using a personal domain for over 20 years. I’ve never had a service reject my email domain.

But it will eventually. It just happens to be a large enough mass in a stable-ish orbit to last a long time. The same isn’t true of most of our space junk.
