  • I always get my isp outers as pass through so network is controlled by my entry. I have never bothered doing much with it but it’s nice to have the option.

    I used to use a ddwrt firmware for years but eventually my hardware could never keep up with my net speeds and manufacture firmware was faster. Trying an Omada network now seems alright but haven’t added their wifi.




  • Definitely one of my favourites somehow didn’t read (well listen) till like 8 years ago, wish I made the effort much sooner but grew up mostly without an Internet or friends to tell me I should check it out…then decades happened. Took me a listen or two to really get it but it’s one of those I pick up on some line I didn’t ponder before that says more than first glance.

    Rest of the trilogy is great too I’m hoping the 3rd in the peripheral series will be good.


  • At my age (sorry dunno yours) everything comes quickly but I agree this, and other tech stuff lately, come on fast these days.

    Side note reminds me of neuromancer (book) where it’s described as subcultures can come up and disappear quite fast. Oddly relevant to today even if we can’t plug into the net. It’s a single line in the book so don’t think that’s the focus if you haven’t read it, but I do recommend. Though the prose can’t be difficult sometimes cause sometimes almost written poetic.


  • If you’ve ever watched cinema sins (or related videos), hahaha hahahaha…haha (no offense meant but it did make me do that laugh in my head is all)

    Mean I wish it would but programmers aren’t going to be more memory efficient due to hardware prices unfortunately.

    The laugh was in good nature, not laughing at you but the concept of a company being efficient for hardware costs, mean technically I guess games were otherwise we’d wait a half hour for a render but for the most part as long as it works without that half hour render it’s probably fine with settings adjustments.

    They’ll just make things with current specs in mind for longer…well once they realize people can’t afford better hardware.


  • At a first thought, I’m not even sure it was YouTube but probably, Charlie the Unicorn. I’ve been online too long to remember old YouTube favourites specifically heh. Hell if papa Smurf lick my ass is on YouTube that could beat it unsure of exact years I watched them first well Charlie was 07-08ish if that’s where it was from.

    Memory unlocked for Foamy the squirrel but that wasn’t YouTube specifically hah Neuroticaly Yours was the series name, it rocked. Probably shouldn’t re-watch but it fit well mid / latish 2000s.


  • There’s an early Robot Chicken bit where he dies and asks silly questions to a book that can give him an answer like how many times did I listen to this song, or how much of a wall could my poop make. This question sounds like an interesting one to ask that book though. Actually I’d probably prefer not to know the chaotic randomness that is our lives but guess the lives part would be redundant at that point anyways.


  • Lol that’s exactly how I saw it as well. Recursive gets those nesting dolls look in my head, loops are the same size but repeated, even if infinite. Yes even if the code is almost the same since you can write a loop recursively anyways (okay haven’t tested but seems like it’d work mostly fine but not always as clean).

    I think the beauty of it is that the joke can be amusing in multiple ways. Those are the best jokes to me, cause I can think of different ways the next time I see them.
