It’s a 2009 Audi A3 hatchback with the sport package. While old, I’m in love with the car and it’s my first “nice” car. I already dumped way too much money into it fixing things, but I work from home and mainly use it on the weekend anyway.
I want to hold onto the car as long as possible. I do want it to look nice so it’s kind of worth it for me.
I had to get into it on my own time. I didn’t really like it the first time I tried watching it but I eventually started it back up again in VR and got sucked in.
I tried watching the first episode and turned off after 30 minutes because nothing happened. I had friends who loved watching it but it just seemed like a soap opera aimed at men—the drama was way too heavy for me.
My car is in rather excellent shape mechanically but I need to prioritize reupholstering and repainting it within the next few months.
I bought my current one because IPv6 failed to provision on the one they gave me when I moved to a bigger apartment just two units away. I found some post on Reddit about the problem and it mentioned one that “ignores” the lack of IPv6 provisioning and does it anyway (I’m a programmer and IT geek but I don’t really understand cable/DOCSIS well).
If the modem they provided is just a modem and it works well, I don’t think there’s much reason to get rid of it. But personally if it’s an all-in-one box that has “bridge” mode I’d still run away and just go with my own modem.
I’m on Spectrum and have tons of friends that always complain they’re shit. Spectrum itself isn’t shit, it’s the garbage equipment they set you up with.
Make sure whatever you get works well with IPv6. For whatever reason IPv4 can go out at random but their IPv6 has never failed me (in the Los Angeles area at least).
mesh network
Or traditional network with Ethernet backhaul and lots of access points. I really wish mesh networks would die off honestly.
Take a trip through flyover country (my hometown!), there are still loads of stupid people everywhere.
This is actually why I usually install a VPS in whichever country I’m physically in—my end devices always appear to be connecting to something innocent in-country (like a corporate VPN). That VPS then does the double-hop out of the country so that the VPS also seems pretty innocent too.
I don’t think it’s actually more secure though since the VPS is in my name and it’s technically decrypting everything. But I’m a bit less paranoid about that. (I’m not doing tons of illegal shit anyway.)
Angeles & Airwaves - We Don’t Need to Whisper
People will eat insects rather than stop fucking with animals. The lengths y’all go to are insane.
I get that this is in the news but whether it’s actually something newsworthy feels debatable.
