Oh my god… I get it now, thanks ⭐

I have been using Calyx for the past few months, which is a 1 year pre-paid connection through the T-Mobile network for $750 the first year. No data caps, have used it in the Southwest, South Central, and Midwest parts of the country with fairly good results. I measure up/down occasionally and get anywhere from 30Mbps - 250 Mbps up / 1 - 25 Mbps down. Lots of variety in the signal based on location and time of day, which is my main complaint, but it should be expected with a mobile data connection. Not fancy, but I go through a lot of data at my job and generally don’t have much problems streaming video.

To be honest, I will probably try to switch over to a fiber connection when my year is up because I’m not longer working from the road, but it really hasn’t been the worst solution by far.

Even worse is when your luggage gets switched with someone else’s by mistake - Stranger’s Things.

Games where at least a significant portion of it is low-key/relaxing. Thinking Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, Spiritfarer.

Seems reasonable to exercise caution. Plus, unless you have the means, it’d be a tough spot to deal with resource scaling without knowing what the volume of new traffic will look like.

I think it would be possible not to tie up/down votes to a particular user and still be able to allow votes, but you would probably need to disallow changing a vote (unless there are some fancy uses of cryptography I don’t know about). You could use a bit field to indicate whether or not a particular user voted on a particular post, whether up or down doesn’t matter. You could register the up/down count to the table that has the post id and not tie it to the user that voted. But then a user couldn’t change their vote because of that arrangement.

I don’t personally care how my votes are recorded, I just like databases.

Really well-done article, thanks for posting.

+1 for MUDs!

MUDVerse.com

Just started adding subscriptions to kbin magazines and I think it’s starting to sink in that there is actually a decent-sized community growing here with a LOT more potential. The FediVerse being decentralized makes things feel a bit empty at first as it is now, but once you start hooking up to other platforms’ content it immediately feels twice as big. The trick over time will be cross-platform development efforts that make things look and feel more seamless.

I just moved from an area where houses start around 350k to somewhere they start closer to 175k - going to try for it later this year. 100% involves other trade-offs, but to me they are worth it. Not for everybody though. I’m tired of struggling with shitty landlords and dumping my money into 0 equity - I’ll put that struggle toward a mortgage and repairs.
