Aight I’ve played enough. Time to rest. I’ll scroll lemmy now.

Lemmy:

As someone who lived in rural area (single house, no neighboars), village/small city and capital city, I would pick capital city anytime:

• Maybe it’s Lithuania’s thing, but capital city is like day & night dofference in terms of culture and education from the rest of the country.
• Accessability (no depending on car).
• Everything in one place.

Why I would not live in rural area:

• Internet is shit
• accessability is shit
• Way more expenses
• Not much place for a walk, especially during wet season.
• Ticks.

Why I would not live in small city/village:

• People are retards (or it’s just my unique case lol).
• Government of the city is a joke.
• if no shop - still depending on car.
• Ticks.

You don’t understand. USB 2.0 is much faster than USB 1.0. Innovation!

Indeed. And consequences of alcohol to other people are way more significant than from smoking. Drunk drivers, drunk fights, drunk workers, aggression, depression and so on.

Myself I don’t smoke, but vape. Tabacco smoke stinks really bad that I can’t even stand the smell. My gf who don’t smoke or vape says that my vapor is basically nothing, can’t even smell most of the time, but cigarettes are just disgusting…

Just listen to musk and do what he says - stop calling it twitter.

We can brainstorm other names. For example, latelly I’ve been preferring twatter. xD

I never mentioned that you cannot use your own cloud :)

This is why there are previews. And yes, this is the case where it’s an issue with the cloud storage.

If I have to choose between this issue and data loss - I pick the issue.

Disagree

Any mobile device (that is not stationary).is a risk of being lost or stolen, which means if you have important data on it - it’s at risk

Cloud services offers backup for such data, so large storage is not needed.

After BG3 released:

Noooo! This would put new expectations on video games!!!

Lemmy sometimes feels like cult. Yes, I am here because Reddit went to shit. Yes, I want Reddit alternative, but being made fun of people who want it to be like Reddit is just ridiculous.

Yes, just like rust. It compiles into a single binary.

Blocky is written in Go, which I understand is an interpreted language program, versus a compiled language program. Please correct me on this if I’m wrong.

Yup, you are completelly wrong.

If I’m right, then what kind of performance issues if any do you see using Blocky? I asked this assuming that an interpreted program will run slower than a compiled one.

N/A

Go is awesome. My favorite programming language. <3

When Ukraine got invaded:

It sucks. That’s why we need regulations for ISPs. This shouldn’t exist.

Yes, this one.

Pihole has a cache also though, does this do something different?

The cache you are referring to is basically:

1. Device asks to solve google.com
2. Pihole asks upstream for IP.
3. Pihole returns IP to device
4. Another device asks to solve google.com
5. Pihole returns IP from cache to another device.

Blocky has the same functionality, but it also detects which domains are frequently requested, therefore puts them into “always keep up to date in cache”.

Basically let’s say that many devices keep requesting for “google.com”, blocky detects it as frequently reqiested domain, and as soon as it expires, instead of removing from cache, blocky simply refreshes it’s value and keeps in cache. Expires again? Refresh and keep in cache again. And does this idefinitely.

Let’s say “google.com” TTL time is 10 minutes. Once 10 minutes passes - blocky should remove it from cache, but because precatching is enabled - it will refresh it instead of removal.

Check documentation for details. ✌️

And the plan name sounds like a firmware of a IoT device used to perform some sort of ARP speedtest.

ChatGPT told me this:

the maximum download speed you can achieve without exceeding a 3.3 TB limit in a month is approximately 10.185 Mbps

As someone who lives without data cap, I can hardly imagine having such limit. :/ Wondering if anyone knows what is the best approach to handle such data cap? Like, using some sort of queues/limits with some sort of smart bursts?

I’ve used to temporarily live with 100mbps internet (~95mbps up/down). What really helped me:

• CAKE queue (QoS stuff) - every device gets fair share of internet.
• Since I was lucky to have static speeds - bufferbloat was also eliminated.
• QoS - my seedbox had only a spare internet. Which means if everyone/me uses internet at max, then seedbox would have literaly 0 bits per second throughput, and would get it once there is spare throughput available.
• Local DNS-based adblocker. I prefer blocky, but others prefer Pi-Hole. Blocky has a feature to pre-cache commonly used domains, so additional internet performance. :)

I just don’t understand the point of data caps. Internet is not something you order, like 10TBs for a village and the next order will arrive the next month. Or worse - internet supply issues, where Cisco is not able to manufacture TBs in time… Like what the fuck is data cap.

You don’t have TBs in internet infrastructure. You have throughput which means how much data per second you can send through your infrastructure.

Anyway, everyone flexing their ISPs, so do I:

• Vilnius, capital city of Lithuania
• “Telia” ISP.
• They offer speeds from 250mbps min to 2gbps max.
• Not sure about the other plans, but 1GBPS that I have is 940mbps down and 580mbps up and costs 19.90eur per month. Most importantly - no data caps, no slowdowns (at least in the past 3 years) and public IP that does not change.

IT persons? No

Millenials who only grew up with iphones, tiktok, and has no idea what is folder and/or file? Fuck yes.
