they use 600W for an architecture no one cares about anymore

I wouldn't use the computer anyway, but 600W really?

I'm paying my own electric bills now, can't afford it

copy pastaing from the blogpost

you really thought I'm going to read that shit?

is the blog yours?

hell no

it came up HN ~a week ago

I don't click on blogspot links and stop reading HN....

it pretty much summarizes trying to use one of those toasters these days

good choice

gotta browse the top tier sites

the content can be good, but community is cancer. I have no words to even describe it... also my IP is banned

off HN or plebbit?

HN of course

fair enough

banned from creating an account, insta hell ban. I can still unfortunately access the site but there was a time I couldn't

at least you have a proper static IP

yeah that's nice... it comes handy. i could do some fuckery with the router to get a new one, but it's a pain.

have to reset all the conf

don't you just need a dynamic DNS program?

or are you hard coding IPs?

my isp doesn't change my ip, but it's officially not static. if I reset my router and all the conf., it sometimes gives me new ip, sometimes not. have to reset again.

for my own purpose I just poll the IP changes and update DNS.. but it happens so rarely

hmm

I only need it for my home VPN

if I'm not at home I can use my comfi network

my up speed is so shit it's not even worth setting up a VPN

idk, I have 100mbps and don't have problems.. not sure if it's fast or not nowadays. I don't download much shit so it's more than enough for me

100Mbps up is pretty good

canada has shit telecom though

I'm getting like .5Mbps up :(

I have the fiber cable coming in so theoretically I could go 1gbpt but I have no use for it.. oh that sucks. I have it equal 100/100

I can seed public shit 24/7 and still only upload a few gigabytes a day

what are you seeding...

I have nothing to seed or download, maybe I have become an old fart

now it's mostly media off private trackers

I'm not buying into the private tracket bullshit and the public ones are dead

is there anything like soulseek nowadays?

something for normies
