  • 55mbps down will be enough when lower cost is most important. it’s about the download speed we have at the office (55mbps), and at home too (faster but network gear is slower than the pipe coming in, so 55-60mbps is what i get on the main pc).

    we can have a remote desktop going with multimedia coming through that (for work; low bitrate but latency matters), 2-3 hd streams, a couple screens on web sites, something downloading a huge batch of updates, an online ‘shooter’ game being played, and still not worry about loading up something else to use some more.

    for straight downloads from servers and cdn that can handle it, expect 2-4 minutes for a typical linux iso download, and for big downloads about 25 gigabytes per hour max.





  • in the olden days, one ipv4 could host one domain securely. when a client connected to that ip, the connection was encrypted with the cert for that domain it was hosting.

    the finite ipv4 space was gobbled up like crazy between this and every fucking thing on the planet wanting to be online.

    an update to conserve ipv4 space allows one to host multiple domains (i.e. different sites on different domains, all using https) on one ip. to do this, the client needs tells the server which domain it’s looking for on the ip it’s connecting to–in the clear. once the server knows what cert to use, an encrypted connection can be set up.

    ‘encrypted client hello’ (ech) allows that initial request to be encrypted.

    that’s pretty much all it does.

    they’re trying harder to hide that now. as of last year, a sg-based holding company owns a uk-based company which owns the original developer, the software, and numerous regional branch offices.

    kinda sucks, because it is a nice program. doesn’t have feature parity with microsoft office, but it’s got pretty much everything that most users need or would want. it’s also horribly slow on lower-spec hardware.





  • yup. cable got too damn expensive to have just to be able to get the local channels (only way to get them where i am). really should’ve dumped them years before i finally did. haven’t had a streaming sub in a couple years either. i mainly watch old recordings (some on tape, even), discs, and other things i have here. and maybe once or twice a month, i’ll look for something different or ‘new to me’ on a free service. i get enough news and current events from public radio when i’m in the car or when the radio is on at the office.


  • doesn’t need to be, of course. they just want to cut social security because ‘the poors’ rely on it more.

    debt reduction efforts

    deep-six every loophole used mostly or only by the wealthy to avoid paying their share of taxes.

    increase funding for irs, streamline enforcement actions, give them the resources needed to go after the big fish.

    eliminate the cap on social security contributions, lower the ceiling on benefits for the very wealthy retirees, while raising the minimum benefit.

    single payer tax funded health care, paid by higher taxes on the wealthy.

    raise the capital gains rates. raise the estate tax, lower the assets value needed to trigger it.

    raise the marginal rates for high income earners (by a lot. i want reagan screaming from beyond)

    budget problem fixed. well over $2 trillion a year pumped into the economy by people who are now no longer padding insurance companies’ bottom lines with it. but we aren’t done yet…

    $12/hr min wage (wait wut!!! wait for it…)

    $24,000 universal tax credit for everyone. the higher taxes up^there on high income earners would negate this for them, and they fund it for the others that do receive it.

    this is a compromise between the $15 (or higher) crowd and small businesses. a little lower fed min wage than what’s being pushed, but then essentially doubled based on full time work via the tax credit all receive.
