I went with "cheap mikrotik router + cheap used enterprise APs (3x Aruba 325)," and I've been pretty happy.

What hardware you running for pfSense?

Not a huge Daft Punk guy, but the soundtrack is awesome (and IMHO works perfectly with the movie).

I thought that's the accepted definition of a "New York Minute"


the time between the light turning green and the cabbie behind laying on their horn...

I've heard that RawTherapee is good, but not quite on the same level.

I'd definitely recommend getting a credit report (not from the websites that advertise with an insane jingle, but from the actual credit bureaus


you're entitled to a free report). Mine had debt from a relative with a similar name; I was able to get that removed. They will also tell you in more detail what goes in to calculating it.

I agree that it's not perfect, and often very opaque, but you should be able to get some understanding of why she doesn't have good credit.

...except that it used to be that your ability to secure a loan was based on where you went to school, how firm your handshake was, and if you happened to have the right skin color and sex organs.

The current system certainly isn't perfect; and if you're denied a loan you have a legal right (in the US) to know the reason.

There are systemic issues, to be sure. But the nominal goal is absolutely better than what we used to have.

I think there's a bit of a difference paying cash vs. card


with cash, rounding errors basically mean, "this money will go to a cause rather than get lost in my couch cushions." With a card, the rounding errors add up


for the charity, yes, but also for the customer.

I think another point is, why isn't the large corporation using their rounding errors instead of mine?

But to each their own of course.

I usually suppress output of either wget (-q) or of tar (no v flag), otherwise I think the output gets mangled and looks funny (you see both download progress and files being extracted).

Or the lines are "separation of Church and State," and the car is a lifted RAM 2500 parked diagonally across them...

When I'm feeling cool and downloading a *.tar* file, I'll wget to stdout, and tar from stdin. Archive gets extracted on the fly.

I have (successfully!) written an .iso to CD this way, too (pipe wget to cdrecord). Fun stuff.

Right


not immune to congestion at all. Unlike ATT fiber, where we had 300Mbps (symmetric I think)...but if you log in to the modem it reported a gigabit link. Starting a download, you could often get more than 300Mbps, but it would slowly fall in line with bandwidth policies.

With Sonic, my gigabit connection would get north of 900Mbps (iperf3), both ways, to a nearby university computer. I miss it.
