Not sure why everyone’s making a big todo of all of this, he gently assaulted his victims targets caressees.

The person was asking a fairly simple question and I gave an answer that avoided jumping into the genealogy of GNU/Linux based distributions. Many apologies, won’t happen again.

I mean, they list Red Hat and Ubuntu as the only OFFICIALLY supported Linux distros and both of those are based on other “non-supported” distros, so I don’t think it means much.

“This has been what the last month of my life has been like.”

Is a perfectly acceptable and infinitely more understandable statement lol

They used our taxes to pay back our taxes!

The infrastructure for a lot of rural America is not there to support EVs. The closest charger to me is 100 miles away. There’s a town 30 miles away that got grant money to put in a whole two chargers at a gas station.

I am totally ready to be all in on EVs, but I also would like something faster to charge my car than the few hours I could do off a 50 amp circuit in my house. When the closest Walmart is 30 miles away and closest department store is 100 miles away, a 250 to 300 mile range vehicle definitely brings range anxiety to front of everyone’s mind.

That’s not even mentioning the fact that I just remodels my house and spent the money to put a 50 amp outlet outside by my driveway. Any other house where I live would require a construction crew to be ready for that kind of power requirements.

We did bug collections in 7th grade. Anyone that caught these guys was immediately the coolest for the week. If you caught more than one, you could trade for pretty much any other bug someone had caught.

The first time a kid caught one the teacher would put it on the projector and spent a solid 15 minutes fat shaming it and pointing out its little tiny wings.

I loved AsusWRT-Merlin back when I used an Asus router.

As others here have mentioned, Tdarr can handle a lot of it automatically

Your first mistake was using math in Missouri.

Cybertruck would have been prevented from ever happening with stronger regulations. And as bad as that launch is going, maybe that wouldn’t have been a bad thing for them….

Absolutely, it should be. I was being very sarcastic in my other post and basically said Squid didn’t outright say he wasn’t being paid, so that MUST mean he’s being paid and it was removed with a message saying I shouldn’t call a mod a shill.

Which honestly makes me think that I struck a nerve now.

I used to hate the hail corporate subreddit back in the day because literally anything with a logo was considered an ad by them, however nobody can deny that that kind of deceptive advertising totally happens.

Careful, my comment was removed for jokingly saying OP was a shill for not outright saying Spotify wasn’t paying him.

Obviously a corporate shill. He never outright said he wasn’t being payed.

So switches are able to do a lot of interesting things.

Think about in a business, you want to have credit card machines, users computers, and maybe a security system and cameras. There have been so many news reports of how awful the cyber security of security cameras are that maybe you don’t want them to be on the same local network as the thing taking your customers payments. So, you could buy another router and switches and pay for a second internet service. But you know you don’t use all the bandwidth you currently have and you have extra ports on the switch. What if you could create a second local network? Have it on the same physical hardware but logically separate in the router and switch. Like a virtual local area network.

This is exactly what a VLAN can accomplish. Now though, you have to tell the switch what port is using what VLAN, so you build a GUI into it.

Some switches are also able to supply power to those cameras and the access points around your business, but that takes more electricity going into the switch, so you need to keep heat down, so slap a fan in there. Also, what happens if you want to power cycle a camera? Well, you could go find the cable and physically unplug it, or you could just reboot the whole switch, but hey, you already have a GUI for VLAN config, why not slap the ability to turn a port on and off in there too!

The same goes for a home network, maybe you have a few cheap smart lights that have a questionable level of security… they’re fun though! So instead of risking your whole network, slap them in a dedicated VLAN and now some sweaty neckbeard doesn’t get to know what Christmas present you bought for your one favorite coworker.

These are just a few examples of the top of my head. There’s plenty of other reasons for a GUI and fans.

Depending where the water goes, a truckload of dead fish isn’t the greatest for an ecosystem either.

Still better than bleach or something, but possibly not great.

I remember the first time I learned about patent licensing….

Shit. Looks like we forgot about him again.

As a Kansan, I firmly believe the one thing Kansas and Oklahoma can agree on is Texas and Missouri sucks. That’s where the wall needs built.

Maybe something like diesel-electric that they use with trains with solar panels providing some of the electricity is a more realistic thought.
