I’m not a gamer but I’ve noticed reviews of anything are usually trash. And if you’re thinking about buying a product and looking at reviews, you’ve gotta be careful to avoid reviews where they get a cut on the “buy now” links. In fact, usually if it has a link to buy it I just go back and forget that review.

I made this mistake but honestly? AWS is the most confusing clusterfuck of all time. I can’t stand it and refuse to use it for personal projects.

For me the problem came down to four conflicting sources on AWS regarding tiers and then another problem with the SDK. The SDK didn’t match the tiers at all so “archive” meant Glacier for some reason. 👎

I used to live in Dumbfuckistan and I can’t really find fault with this.

Sorry

I used to run ASUS and definitely agree. If Ubiquiti didn’t exist I’d go back to ASUS for residential networks.

I like to think of them as Ethernet switches that happen to have WiFi. Their goal is just to bridge (in the colloquial sense, not necessarily networking sense) WiFi to Ethernet.

And they let you run 2 GHz, 5 GHz on the same SSID which is such a small stupid feature that for some reason a lot of consumer-oriented devices disallow.

(I know, supposedly it’s “bad” to do this because apparently there are some garbage WiFi cards that aren’t smart enough to seamlessly switch between the best option, but that’s never been the case for me. I prefer this to clumsily switching manually between the two whenever I move a device.)

I have a Ubiquiti access point. Changing settings on the thing rarely impacts connected clients, and if it does it doesn’t take six years to restart like a typical all-in-one router/switch/AP.

You’ll need their controller software, but I run this in Docker without issue. And if the controller goes offline the AP keeps going regardless.

Ubiquiti in my mind is the Apple of networking. It literally just works and you won’t have to do tons of hacking to get it to do stuff.

Being vegan.

This is such a difficult question for me. Living in LA I’d say 99% of the best meals I’ve had were at cheap, unassuming restaurants located within their culture’s enclave in the city, though a few high-priced places do come to mind.

I’m actually surprised by this. When my wife and I went to San Francisco we actually stayed in east bay. After an exhausting day we decided to head back to our Airbnb there and just order something from DoorDash. Coming from LA, I was absolutely blown away by the vegan/vegetarian section. She wasn’t really hungry so I picked something that I thought was cheap and basic and it ended up being the best vegan food I’ve had to this day.

It’s a poor choice of words for the headline; I oftentimes misinterpret unclear headlines like this and it drives me nuts.

I bet if you stopped murdering animals the mean judgmental vegans wouldn’t hurt your poor precious feelings. Honestly? You deserve it if you continue contributing to animal abuse.
