Same!! Its been really fun. No mods for the pure 2011 experience.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
Love your comix! Thx for creating these :D
Lemmy is still here yes? You're commenting on a Lemmy post and reaching other Lemmy users. That is what decentralisation solves. If it was centralized this would mean the end for Lemmy.
If you use IPv6 globally routable addresses for your services you can avoid all split horizon DNS, NAT, hairpin, etc. With the magic of IP routing and maybe some custom wireguard route advertisements your packets will go through the shortest path wherever your client hosts are.
I had a great day at Sasquatch Mountain in BC on Jan 1st. Crowds were very reasonable. Snow was packed powder, low wind and overcast. Temps were warm.
It was my first day skiing in over 6 years. I previously skiied 10 days a season for 10 years. My skills came back quickly, but a lot more to go to regain physical fitness.
I believe it. I still miss the starfield background on PLOP.
The PLOP bootloader floppy and TI calculator caught my eye. Nice set!
I bought this light a week ago. My overall impression is great satisfaction.
Positives:
I LOVE the beam flexibility. I use flood most, spot second.
The throw in spot mode is great. I feel a reluctance to buy a dedicated throw light because this does the job.
It feels solid in my hand without feeling bulky. The heatsinks and wider lens housing do not feel wide at all.
Neutrals:
The UI is meh. I do not have significant issues using it. I set the brightness I want for the activity then I dont change it for an hour+.
Bonus hidden UI: after you change modes with a hold press, you have again 3s to change the brightness with single clicks. So it is possible to adjust brightness without powering down the light, but feels like a hack not intended use
Negatives:
The included wrist strap has a wimpy attachment string, met with an equally small lanyard hole. I do not trust it with the weight of the light.
When pressing the button while locked, the indicator lights dont show the current battery level. They all blink. Missed opportunity.
Works fine for me. Steam autoselected a proton version and everything worked out of the box.
Thanks so much! I will take a look at your suggested ships.
Dang. Thank you for your answer.
Verdict: the MikroTik CRS310-1G-5S-4S+IN is a suitable L3 gateway for internet connections up to 500Mbit/s!
Story
I saw this device and knew instantly its port configuration was perfect for my needs: mix of 1G/10G, SFP for labbing optical connections, and an RJ45 for WAN uplink.
Its routing capabilities are well-advertised as inferior to its switching capabilities. The CRS (Cloud Router Switch) name and its capability to run RouterOS mean it can operate at L3, but MikroTik advertises it as primarily a switch appliance. Its sister product, the netFiber 9 which runs the same hardware, is advertised as capable of "light routing". Finally, the test results published by MikroTik show sub-1G L3 performance for all but the most optimal case. It is clear that I cannot expect line speed routing from the CRS310.
But, my home internet connection is 500Mbit/s. If the CRS310 can route at or above this speed, then it will be the perfect gateway device. Lets test it!!
Tests
I configured these parameters:
I confirmed that the bridge is using the switch chip. Fast Path is OFF but Fasttrack is working.
Test 1: https://fast.com/ speed test
No fasttrack
Result: 260Mbit/s average with 3 samples
Test 2: https://fast.com/ speed test
Fasttrack for established,related packets on all interfaces
Result: 510Mbit/s average with 3 samples
Conclusions
MikroTik's published test results for the CRS310 are realistic. It can route at L3 with a basic set of firewall rules and IPv4 source-NAT at least at ~500Mbit/s. I will be happy with this as my gateway :)
I did not inspect the packet sizes for the tests, so I cannot compare my results directly. My numbers fall between the 1518 byte and 512 byte reference numbers for fasttrack and 25 filter rules. I'm also using source-NAT which is not advertised to be a part of any of the reference results. Differences aside, it still felt like the published results gave a good-enough indicator of sub-1G but capable routing.

Mikro-pic!
I went on a long road trip all in one day across southwestern BC. It was just to see the landscape and to travel. I didn't have any specific destinations of interest.
It was amazing to see! There were three times that I started tearing up at just how beautiful the land was.
The route was Vancouver -> Lytton -> Whistler -> Vancouver
I took my drone along with me on a road trip and got some great shots IMO. Check them out! First is at Mill Pond Park north of Mission, second is over the Fraser River north of Hope.
The phone is pretty old, running Android 6. It has 2600.emu on it with the entire catalogue of 2600 games. She remembers playing on her friends' Atari as a kid and some of the games she played so I added those as shortcuts.
I tried several emulation apps: 2600.emu, droid2600, and MAME4Droid. The modern versions of all refused to install. 2600.emu and droid2600 both had an older version that installed. Overall I liked 2600.emu for its better onscreen controls & better paddle control on these specific versions.
It feels nice to repurpose old tech for something "new". It wouldn't be possible without a dedicated community.

Project Highrise is very similar! And its a bit newer.
