Snaps just don’t really work very well. When I have had problems in the past and gone looking for answers, what I consistently find is that the problem is fixed by installing the non-snap version of . I love containers but if I am going to use them I want to have control over how they are configured and that they have access to.

Or at least if I don’t control them I just want them to work, and they never do. I would use them if they weren’t consistently shit.

Just casual racism is all.

Thing is though, most consumer networking gear is capable of a maximum of 1gbit, so to even take advantage of 2gig or 2.5gig you at least need a router with a 2.5gig uplink. If you have this you can have a couple of people on the network using a gig each.

My setup is a 1.2g cable connection going into a 2.5g port on my router, with a couple of servers connected to the router over 10g. This basically lets me download off of my servers at the full speed of the network but the rest of my devices are limited to 1gig.

Going up to 20gig would require a large investment to see the benefits. First you would need a router with a 25g uplink port, which is really only going to be found on a specific tier of “enterprise” gear. These routers aren’t going to have a bunch of ports so you are going to need to dump the output either to a 25g switch or a couple of 10g switches (probably the most cost-effective option). From there you can distribute out to 20 machines at 1g.

Anyway, you are definitely right about the aim of a service like this but to see the benefits of a 20g connection would require some very expensive and specialized equipment.

Lmao, “terror tunnels”

Give me an opportunity to pay to access the content easily for a reasonable price. It’s all I ask.

I used to have a huge pirated music collection, and now I have no pirated music at all because it became convenient and reasonably priced to listen to the music I want the way I want to listen to it.

For quite awhile I had no pirated TV or Movies because the content I wanted to watch was available on Netflix and HBO Go. Now I have a lot of content pirated because I’m not going to pay $10-$25 monthly to pay for a streaming service for every show I want to watch. And another $10-$25 monthly for every show my kids want to watch.

To be clear, I am not claiming any moral high ground. That shit is out there for free and unless these companies can find a way back to reasonably-priced streaming I am going to continue taking it because I have a limited budget and TV/Movies are only worth a certain amount of money to me.
