I can’t fathom that amount stored there in addition to the amount of data traffic occurring. Those fibers are on fire; coming in the centers in 3 foot tubes! For some reason they don’t appear on google image search. ;)

One of the largest.

From what I’ve gathered certain really illegal content was being created and uploaded; and paid for using crypto. It really is a harsh shame to people who have obscure files or services and have been using the service for more than 5 years. I think they should reevaluate their policy and allow registered non-crypto accounts to have access to it after a certain period of time. Simply removing the feature is unacceptable; I put my trust in IVPN after much research. I’m concerned about how the other providers will handle the windfall of new users signing up for the feature and if they will keep it active.

Does anyone remember the add on voice to speech and advanced sound module that chunked into the right hand side of that machine. It was black magic back then.

Surely we recall typing code into basic from the back of a magazine. Later we were blown away from having a EGA card that didn’t make text look like crap? Right guys?

Agree completely. I’ve been migrating from system since bulletin boards were around. It’s nice to see change in action!

My account was banned due to the username. It was made in jest before the war in Ukraine. I’m glad they banned it though; it was a 10 year account.

Yeah but eventually another primate will take our place; and there will be wars.

My advice. Call a local electrician or small business networking company; get some quotes for what you are looking for. Have 2 cables run from the network interface box to where your router/firewall is in addition to a second location in case you ever need to expand the network setup in you home. The cost is well worth not worrying about pulling cables. Install CAT6 boxes in almost every room you foresee a cable ever being run. Good luck! I recently rewired my home with CAT6 from the fiber interface box and am now enjoying 900/850mb everywhere in my home.

Yes, but can they handle the influx of people coming for port forwarding with their servers? This seems to be why IVPN has claimed they are not offering it; and removing the feature from paid subscribers. There is a lack of logic in removing it from existing clients who renew each year.

With all the sites and release groups that have shut down recently there seems to be something big occurring. It looks like this might be the gradual shut down of open trackers chaps. IVPN was the choice for services for years; will have to see what happens from here. I felt comfortable using their service; however this changes my self hosting. Usenet from here on out? IRC? Where do we go from here?

Oh no! It’s the EEE PC!

Epic shit post.

My father who is Russian has been talking about Wagner turning on Russia for the past 2 months. Dogs of war. So my bingo card has been stamped.

Pointless shit post. Doesn’t even have any original value to it.

People are tired of this war. Putin wanted to secure food reserves and have an open access sea port for his military; however he wasn’t honest as to his reasons why; understandably so. Given this the Russian public doesn’t see the actual geopolitical value of the conflict. This was inevitable. If Russia couldn’t play nice with the rest of the world as their money mostly comes from oil and gas; which we are moving away from. Let them pay for their crimes.

No. Karma is a fake metric and can adversely effect others perception of a current comment. Comments should be judged on their own merit. One can have differing opinions or views that may be viewed as negative; however positively contribute to an active discussion with a agreed view.

I was doing this analog with the International Space Station in 1992. During the horizon overpass I was able to establish voice contact via a 2 watt handheld transmitter. This was a two way contact with an ham radio operator on the ISS. The voice bandwidth far exceeds the 4g bandwidth. I’m not sure exactly how this is new being that it was a one way contact. It’s basically line of sight communications which is exactly what the higher frequencies are intended for; nothing in their path. Still cool nonetheless. I wonder how they received the FCC okay for it though.
