- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
I have the opposite. Unlimited phone data, but it throttles above some high number that I’ve never hit. Capped home internet from crapcast, 1.3 TB, I haven’t hit it but I’ve come within a couple gigabytes.
They offer unlimited data if I use their modem/router for an extra $10/mo. Of course their modem comes with the wonderful feature of a public hotspot for any other Comcast customers in the area. I’ve been thinking about getting their modem, putting it in a metal box and just using pass through with my opnsense box.

Yes, cracked Denuvo games actually run better because you aren’t running
a virusanti piracy software in the background. It runs at the kernel level and Crowdstrike is a pretty good case study on why that’s bad. - Comment on What happens to my domain, website and email when I die? 5 months ago:
When my dad died, no one renewed his domain, [last name].com, and some domain squatter bought it. A few years later the squatter noticed that I owned [last name].net and offered to sell it to me. I didn’t respond and I guess they figured out that an obscure last name isn’t worth anything and let it expire. I should probably buy it.
- Comment on Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from? 1 year ago:
Just wait until you encounter morse code abbreviations, some of which are still used in some industries. Like the wonderful X abbreviations, such as:
Wx - weather
Mx - maintainence
Tx/Rx - transmit/receive
- Comment on How has Instagram largely avoided being associated with Facebook/Meta? 1 year ago:
Pi-hole is software that runs typically but not necessarily on a raspberry pi. It maintains a list of known advertising and tracking servers and blocks them by rerouting at the DNS level. For example an embed in a page tells your computer to contact tracking.facebook.com pihole tells your computer that that website is at 0.0.0.0 instead of it’s real IP address. Nifty thing is that you can redirect all of your DNS queries at the router so even devices that can’t normally run ad blockers can take advantage of it.
- Comment on The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation? 1 year ago:
people sleeping or feeling worse around that time.
Well there’s a great big bastard of a nightlight out so I guess that makes sense.
