I ran the calculations for LTE in a FM radio station allocation a few years back and came up with something like 1.4Mbps on a CAT4 radio (no idea what modulation and FEC levels I assumed).
I can't think of a payment hurdle for online purchases that I haven't been able to overcome in the past year or two while spending 99% of my time OCONUS.
I've driven the entire Baja peninsula many times and done a road trip across much of central Mexico.
I'm most excited for the next generation of FPGA retro consoles coming in the next 6ish months. Specifically the MARSFPGA. All the existing Mister cores, plus a bunch of new stuff enabled by a better and newer FPGA. The estimated price is $700, that's reasonable for those of us with large disposable income that want the retro kit with no hassle, easy access for the kids, and high Wife Acceptance Factor.
I'm also looking forward to all the upcoming arcade cores for the MARSFPGA.
The easiest way to 10x is to work 80 hours per week, but make sure you get paid for 80 hours per week, not just 40. I'm a workaholic, so I've been doing that for years on end.
I work multiple C2C contracts and make sure that the work that I do overlaps heavily between clients. I only take on clients that are all in on terraform and lean heavily on AWS managed services. With those two keystones in place, the value I can provide clients is far in excess of what they normally would get because I get to see it all. I run into an issue at Client A, and I put things in place at Client B to mitigate that issue before it even occurs. The DR solution I design for Client B is mostly copy/paste for Client C with minor adjustments and all the lessons from having just completed a DR failover test for Client A.
Five more years after that and I make 10x what I did 10 years ago and am working towards FIRE. My family lives on <30% of my income, the rest goes to savings and investments. We should reach our FIRE number before I turn 50.
I love the work I do (DevOps with a Security focus), and that year off I took I was miserable. I'll probably never really retire, just be to the point where I can do the work I need to in under four hours per day and travel.
If basically every NordVPN ad on YouTube is talking about safety, you can be fairly confident that it was a talking point provided by NordVPN.
Anyone who grew up in rural areas of the south is generally on the lookout for chiggers, ringworms, ticks, hookworms, and pinworms.
TFA = The Fucking Article.
Much like:
RTFM = Read The Fucking Manual.
- Network, Advanced, WiFi Direct, off.
I thought I would mention that age is now built in to SOPS, thus needs no external dependencies and is faster and easier than gpg.
> Just a month after Sundar Pichai announced Google’s plan to cut 12,000 jobs around the world in January, the company filed applications for H1B visas to hire software engineers, analytical consultants, user experience researchers and other roles from outside the United States, with several requests aimed for new Google employees to join in August, the report states. Google parent Alphabet owned Waymo too has reportedly filed similar H1B applications to hire engineers.
The article fails to mention and actual H1B requests by the others, just lumps them in with the layoffs.
Additionally, you neglect to mention that is was the US actions in cancelling his passport that stranded Snowden in the Moscow airport that he was transiting through on the way to Ecuador.
Also, curl can talk ftp, upload and download. Which is super useful when dealing with legacy things.
The most popular choice of accessory was the Sidewinder 3D Pro. That was my choice of input device and I was easily a top 5% player in my teens.
I never touched one, but many people swore by the SpaceOrb 360 as the pinnacle of controllers for Descent.
My own voicemail has been degraded to being the "We're sorry, the number you have called has been disconnected" recording on loop to discourage spam calls. It works, but is not great when I'm getting a call from someone I don't know but would find the voicemail useful for.

As an icebreaker, I pick out items from their resume that stand out and look like strengths. My goal is to play to those strengths and get them comfortable talking about their past battles.
DNS is a fun rabbit hole for interviews, for sure.
My favorite one to see on a resume is NIS. If you are listing NIS and don't have horror stories or other things to say about NIS, that's a really good indicator of the value of your resume.
I intentionally list NIS on my resume because it is such a fun conversation topic to go on about how security models changed over time, all the ways NIS is terrible, but also how simple and useful it was.
Clover, dandelions, crabgrass, dallisgrass, etc were just part of our yard. We also used it often as grazing for the horses as an alternative to spending hours mowing every few weeks. So any attempt as species control would have been undone by the horse manure anyways.
This has been an issue plaguing Alpine for years where the musl maintainer basically said the standard says may fallback, not must fallback. Let the rest of the internet change, we don't feel this is important. We're standards complainant.
It gained traction for the change with the latest RFC. for dns last year which made TCP fallback mandatory [0]. The cloak of standards compliant could no longer be used.
Now, if you did anything on the computer other than let WinAmp play without the flame graph, it would stutter. I had the machine under my desk and used VNC to connect to it and change tracks or whatever.
