This should mean that, if I wire my house with all Cat6, my whole house should be able to do 10Gbps with all lines being less than 200 feet.

Right?

The creeper paradox: the harder you try not to be, the more you appear to be.

I replied to OP but I also need to say that I have definitely been the bully before. Very very inept coworker that after months of mentoring started to blame me for their short comings. So, after that, I stopped being so nice. There was only so much bullshit I could handle.

So at the time, it felt justified? But looking back I wish my response was to just ignore them.

The last time I was bullied, was by my own boss, back in 2007-2009. Truth is I didn’t deal with it, and eventually they fired me. Next job basically taught me that it was possible to enjoy your boss & coworkers.

If you’re going through it now, best advice is to find people to talk to. Partner at home, work friends, anyone you trust. If it’s to the point of harassment, you tell management. If they blow you off, look for employment elsewhere.

It’s similar to “portable” versions of software. You just run the .exe and of you go.

I have PIA and have so far been very pleased. If you are concerned about owner, maybe just go 1 year at a time, so you can pivot elsewhere if their reputation changes.

I DO get captcha on Google sometimes. But it just convinced me to switch to DDG and never looked back.

I bet it’s also common/planned that they would just reopen another one somewhere else. Esp if it closed for bankruptcy, etc.

Agree that was a strange take. Can you usually tell it’s AI/fake? Yes. Is it still achieving the goal of the creator/user? Yes.

and the other 99 million?

as far as I could tell/search in 15 minutes, everyone was mad when they got bought by kape, but not seeing any evidence of decline in services by PIA. I have been using them for 4 years without a single issue.

that said - I am going to buy into the Proton package for drive & email, which gives me VPN “for free”. meaning I was going to switch to ProtonVPN anyway, but from a consolidation/cost savings standpoint.

How did PIA fail? It showed a forwarded port but didn’t work, or it wouldn’t show a port?

If the latter, I had the same problem at first but it was a simple matter of changing servers. Not all their servers support it. After changing it appeared to have no issues and showed a forwarded port that I then used in qbittorrent.

Thanks! Fortunately (unfortunately?) I’m all Windows atm. Other than my pihole and photoframe.

oh I wouldn’t say I’m “adamant” - but to answer your question I was looking to unGoogle my Google Drive and GMail, and Proton popped up pretty quick for having both. I’m currently paying for Private Internet Access VPN, but once that expires I could also get a 3rd function out of Proton with their VPN. I also want my new mail service to allow custom domains, which Proton also does.

Me too! Pretty close to moving to proton though. Might wait for Black Friday rates.

Completely agree!

Sam’s club. $60 or so for prescription glasses.

we can make so many things from fermentation now, its unreal. We can ferment plastics now.

I’ll admit, BACK THEN, I thought it was funny and was sad E was taken. But yeah perspective changes when you realize how much worse he is/was/will be.

“away from China” according to the article. That’s what I wanted to know, so saving other’s clicks.
