Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.

  • I have basically a full rack of equipment. Here’s the network side of it all. My desktop is 2 SPF+ fiber connections back to the core switch. Tons of stuff in my rack is all 10gbps or 40gbps.

    Dual opnsense firewalls (top 2 slots, dual 40gbps connecting to core switches), though one is inactive until they let me buy static addresses. I run some business stuff on this. Boatloads of homelabbing and self-learning.

    If you want to do full IPS/IDS, then yes you need some horsepower. But just connection with basic rules there’s plenty out there that’s not super expensive. Ubiquiti has their dream machine line which even the “cheap” $400 one can do 10gbps (2gbps with ips, or something like that. I dunno, I don’t keep tabs on them).


    I didn’t stop any active connections/downloads happening on the network. I very likely had a gig of other stuff going elsewhere on the network.

    Their “smart-nid” is also a router… so that works too, but I don’t trust it and in my setup it’s in transparent mode.

    Edit: Formatting sucked










  • Real Autopilot also needs constant attention

    Newer “real” autopilot systems absolutely do not need constant attention. Many of them can do full landing sequences now. The definition would match what people commonly use it for, not what it was “originally”. Most people believe autopilot to be that it pilots itself automatically. There is 0 intuition about what a pilot actually does in the cockpit for most normal people. And technology bares out that thought process as autopilot in it’s modern form can actually do 99% of flying, where take-off and landing isn’t exempted anymore.




  • non-standard functionality of the latter.

    My guy. In the 90’s ALL browsers were non-standard. Even at the protocol level.
    http/0.9 - 1991
    http/1.0 - 1996
    http/1.1 - 1997

    html/1.0 - 1991
    html/2.0 - 1995 revised in 1996, and 97.
    html/3.0 - 1997
    html/4.0 - 1997 revised in 1998, 99, and 2000.

    Then comes all the add-ons like flash, shockwave, etc… Nothing was standard at this time-frame. We threw everything possible into browsers. Toolbars for literally everything (I remember even having winamp controls in my browser).

    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Evolution_of_HTTP

    Between 1991-1995, these were introduced with a try-and-see approach. A server and a browser would add a feature and see if it got traction.

    Literally sites and browsers would just implement stuff just to implement and see if it became used.

    A lot of recent times (2010’s mostly) has been back peddling the mad rush of just shoving EVERYTHING into browsers. Now I actually fear we’re going to far though… With google removing useful backend stuff for plugins and such. I just hope Firefox never follows suit.





  • I’ll have a map where you have to prevent a nuclear meltdown

    Who would want to play a game where there’s nothing to do?

    In every nuclear reactor we’ve ever had issues with it took ignoring engineers or specifically bypassing normal operations procedures to cause.

    In your game… the answer would be “do nothing”. Game over, you win.
