<p>I’m fortunate where I’m at in the Bay Area to get 10Gpbs for $50/mo from Sonic. Service has been amazing.<p>It’s a no brainer at the cost even if it’s not saturated. 10 gig equipment is expensive so majority of my LAN is 1gig. I ended up getting some new network equipment and my WiFi caps at 2.5Gbps.<p>Steam and Usenet are my primary downloads that can take advantage but even my NAS only has a 1gig card as I haven’t bought the 10gig upgrade card.<p>Majority of homes are most likely fine with 1 gig, but we also don’t know what the future holds for network bandwidth.</p>

<p>I did a double take seeing this on the front page. I came across this website only yesterday after searching how to properly lace a heel-lock. I bought a new pair of shoes and my right shoe wants to slip out of the heel ever so slightly.<p>As a result, I came across this absolute gem of a website! Glad to see it here as it's a wealth of knowledge. Who knew there were so many ways to tie and lace up shoes. There's even methods to design your own! Amazing.</p>

<p>I’m looking for a setup like this. I currently have a simple usb-c splitter that I use to switch my keyboard between the two. I bought a similar one for display ports but it doesn’t work super well, so I ditched it and just manually move the display port from my desktop to my caldigit.<p>They were both $20. The keyboard one works fine. I’d love to have a kvm like this but the price certainly gets gives me pause when I got halfway there for basically $20-$40.</p>

<p>Cool project.<p>I haven’t looked at the code too much(yet). I’d be curious to know how you’re handling some of the more wiry edge cases when it comes to following foreign key constraints. Things like circular dependencies come to mind. As well as complex joins.<p>I feel ok posting this because it’s archived, but this problem is basically what we designed for with Neosync [1]. 
It was probably the hardest feature to fully solve for the customers that needed it the most, which were the ones with the most complex data sets and foreign key dependencies.<p>To the point where it was almost impossible to do this, at least with syncing it directly to another Postgres database with everything in tact. Meaning that if on the other side you want another pg database that has all of the same constraints, it is difficult to ensure you got the full sliced dataset. At least the way we were thinking about it.<p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/nucleuscloud/neosync" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/nucleuscloud/neosync</a></p>

<p>Like many I installed omz and ran it as the default for a long time. After a while I looked to optimize my shell starts and realized I was only using a fraction of the functionality.<p>So I figured out what I was using and created my own very paired down version of what I needed. My boot times are much faster and I’ve been totally happy with it. I also learned a lot more about shell configs as a result.</p>

<p>I bought a moonlander in 2020 after work gave us a work from home credit when we transitioned to remote for Covid. I tried it but couldn’t get into it and it sat collecting dust for years.
 In 2024 I dove back into splits with a kinesis freestyle 2. I loved it as it felt more natural as it’s a basic keyboard just split.<p>After I got used to that I was able to migrate to the moonlander pretty easily. I just had to spend the time to sent it up properly for programming.<p>Now I own 2, each with the platform addon, which solves many of the issues with tenting as you no longer have to pivot the thumb cluster. It is expensive though.<p>Both keyboards also have shrimp switches to make typing pretty quiet.<p>This combined with a ball mouse have solved my RSI that developed a few years ago entirely.</p>

<p>Hm, 600 symmetric with monkeybrains?? I’ve had monkeybrains for over 3 years and have never seen over 200 down. 
In fact, I reached out to them today because for the last 3 months it’s been about 50 down or less. Like, I can barely stream content slow. What gives? I am in a 6 unit in lower haight. Most of the units also have MB. The hardware is relatively new (2019?). What gives?</p>

<p>Maybe you would be the person to answer this. Back in 1.6 it was common to install amxmodx for use as admin software in game. There was a function in one of the menus that would open up a players disc drive on their PC! 
I was an admin on a wc3 fun server back in the day and would do it to people for fun. Too young at the time to ever think more about how that was actually done or what security vulnerability that must have been exploiting! I always wondered how it was done.</p>

<p>Back in the cs1.6 days there were servers that advertised as hacker servers. Obviously anti cheat was turned off, but the draw was that everyone was hacking and you could test your hacking skills. The goal was to see who had written the best hacking software. It was actually really fun and an entirely new way of playing the game.</p>
