ULPT: Get simple cat traps. Then bring this cat to shelter.

Get ultrasound devices triggered by motion. E.g. from AliExpress.

How did you tell?? 🤌🤌🤌

Then it’s probably a culture thing. In Lithuania people don’t talk to strangers, even in the mentioned situation.

favorite music artists going on tour?

In Spotify or Youtube they sound way better than live. Also I don’t have to stand in corwded environment and enjoy overpriced snacks & beer.

I just don’t go to live music concerts.

Firefox. This browser became solid one, have no issues with performance and plugins support are great. Also Mozilla seems to be against of what Google is doing, such as web DRM.

Also have Google Chrome installed as a backup, and mainly use it for things like WebSerial. Other than that - not using at all.

😅

Can you even make a messenger bot? Last time I checked it had bots, but they were incredibly crappy.

Install Telegram (or Signal before everyone downvotes me) for your family & friends. For me most of my friends & relatives migrated to it and using for chats between themselves.

Bonus if you are good at programming and can make some very unique telegram bots that do some interesting stuff, like reporting local news.

I think that instead of saying printers we should say hp printers.

Yes, just like rust. It compiles into a single binary.

Blocky is written in Go, which I understand is an interpreted language program, versus a compiled language program. Please correct me on this if I’m wrong.

Yup, you are completelly wrong.

If I’m right, then what kind of performance issues if any do you see using Blocky? I asked this assuming that an interpreted program will run slower than a compiled one.

N/A

Go is awesome. My favorite programming language. <3

It sucks. That’s why we need regulations for ISPs. This shouldn’t exist.

Yes, this one.

Pihole has a cache also though, does this do something different?

The cache you are referring to is basically:

1. Device asks to solve google.com
2. Pihole asks upstream for IP.
3. Pihole returns IP to device
4. Another device asks to solve google.com
5. Pihole returns IP from cache to another device.

Blocky has the same functionality, but it also detects which domains are frequently requested, therefore puts them into “always keep up to date in cache”.

Basically let’s say that many devices keep requesting for “google.com”, blocky detects it as frequently reqiested domain, and as soon as it expires, instead of removing from cache, blocky simply refreshes it’s value and keeps in cache. Expires again? Refresh and keep in cache again. And does this idefinitely.

Let’s say “google.com” TTL time is 10 minutes. Once 10 minutes passes - blocky should remove it from cache, but because precatching is enabled - it will refresh it instead of removal.

Check documentation for details. ✌️

And the plan name sounds like a firmware of a IoT device used to perform some sort of ARP speedtest.

ChatGPT told me this:

the maximum download speed you can achieve without exceeding a 3.3 TB limit in a month is approximately 10.185 Mbps

As someone who lives without data cap, I can hardly imagine having such limit. :/ Wondering if anyone knows what is the best approach to handle such data cap? Like, using some sort of queues/limits with some sort of smart bursts?

I’ve used to temporarily live with 100mbps internet (~95mbps up/down). What really helped me:

• CAKE queue (QoS stuff) - every device gets fair share of internet.
• Since I was lucky to have static speeds - bufferbloat was also eliminated.
• QoS - my seedbox had only a spare internet. Which means if everyone/me uses internet at max, then seedbox would have literaly 0 bits per second throughput, and would get it once there is spare throughput available.
• Local DNS-based adblocker. I prefer blocky, but others prefer Pi-Hole. Blocky has a feature to pre-cache commonly used domains, so additional internet performance. :)

I just don’t understand the point of data caps. Internet is not something you order, like 10TBs for a village and the next order will arrive the next month. Or worse - internet supply issues, where Cisco is not able to manufacture TBs in time… Like what the fuck is data cap.

You don’t have TBs in internet infrastructure. You have throughput which means how much data per second you can send through your infrastructure.

Anyway, everyone flexing their ISPs, so do I:

• Vilnius, capital city of Lithuania
• “Telia” ISP.
• They offer speeds from 250mbps min to 2gbps max.
• Not sure about the other plans, but 1GBPS that I have is 940mbps down and 580mbps up and costs 19.90eur per month. Most importantly - no data caps, no slowdowns (at least in the past 3 years) and public IP that does not change.
