Wooo Action Retro!

Props to ChatGPT on this one.

Why can’t we just have fewer people too? Instead of finding ways to support 50 billion people, how about we have good birth control facilities, education, and economies not based on constant never ending growth? The reality is unending growth WILL end whether people like it or not- wouldn’t it be better to do it on our own terms rather than in a global catastrophe?

I’m not angry about this- it seems it’ll cut down on the initial scalping.

You took me a little bit too literally- I was illustrating a point. People have comparably giant displays compared to the 90’s and yet still treat them as single small displays.

It sounds like people in your workspace haven’t discovered opening multiple windows side by side.

I’ve found people in the windows world often make everything full screen all the time- such a waste. You have a 40” 6k display and you open a single giant word doc.

You could have 3 or more documents open side by side- or a webpage for reference, a notepad, and your work or 1000 other combinations.

I do development work so my workflow is extremely text heavy, but it’s rare that I don’t have 4+ windows open simultaneously per display. I also use an old dell monitor I had laying around rotated 90 degrees as others mentioned for log monitoring or chat threads.

I think people just need to get more creative using their space- it’s not the monitor’s fault if you don’t fill it with stuff.

Really? Cause my kids don’t know what Netflix is and love the switch and portal. Maybe it’s Netflix people don’t care about anymore.

Duck duck go is bing on the back end

You can’t get faster than instant- so if something is already instant, it wont improve. Also, 16GB ram isn’t exactly rocking the boat, workstations have 64-1024GB of ram these days.

Yeah, first few years going to the beach my son just laid under an umbrella on a towel and wanted to watch blippi. He came out of it.

Vacations with kids need to come with certain expectations and limitations on your part, but as they get older and you do it more often, it gets better and better. Hang in there!!

If they require you to use the bastion, then trying to avoid it is probably a bad idea.

If the bastion is running an ssh server, you can jump through it with ssh pass through (using -J).

SSM provides session manager which allows you to skip having a bastion altogether- it basically lets you start an “ssh” session to a private instance without opening ports or networking using aws creds. This requires that you have access permissions to do this and that ssm is enabled.

But… if the reason you are using the bastion is so that they can inspect the traffic, then they’re not gonna let you bypass it via ssm because that also bypasses the managed networking.

I use the cloudflare dns, but there are all kinds of adguard ones too. The Adguard app itself has a big list of options for the fallback.

If you’ve never used adguard, check it out, it can run as a container or on a pi, you just point your router dns at it

I love anything with a tech tree or a skill tree or items that improve based on usage. The ratchet and clank games have such a great mix of all of those things, I end up spending a bunch of time just leveling up the guns!

They pop up regardless- the “algorithm”. I downvote and block the worst of them to try and reduce it, but Google still ends up pushing some in

It’s all over YouTube shorts from shitty third world content theft channels.

I read that as Michael Bay syndrome at first and thought “how terrible!”. Michelin Baby makes more sense.

Make sure you’re not mixing up MBps and Mbps. Internet speed is almost always measured in megabits (Mbps) not megaBytes (MBps), the former being 1/8 of the equivalent megabytes per second.

55 megaBYTES per second is just fine, that’s a full HD movie download in about 3 minutes. 55 megaBITS would be about 24 minutes for the same thing. Would that matter to you? No idea. But if you’re currently at 100, everything would take about twice as long as before the switch regardless.
