      @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

      Having the house wired up tomorrow, finally. We have two Internet providers (Claro & Teko), one on cable and one on fiber. My office is already wired to the fiber, but we are going to re-route everything so that we have both providers going everywhere. Gotta install a switch in my office and a switch in the middle of the house and put four or five access points up to get coverage.

      don't forget your speakers ! 😉

      @Obsolesce yes, with standard home toilets.

      Really? All data shows public restroom / commercial water jet toilets. I can't find a single reference to a home toilet test or study. Nothing at all.

      Until then, I have no reason to think a home toilet is at all as bad or even remotely close.

      Give Mike Rowe a shot. Here is a snippit from an episode he did with a "clean" bathroom, black light, and flushing a home toilet with the lid up.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqNus5AIHR4

      Over the years, I have become a huge proponent of closing the lid before flushing.

      They had an issue on Friday that affected people with GEO blocking......After research we found some of the IP's trying to respond were based in India. Unblocking India from GEO fixed it. I imagine companies that are government or companies based in the UK would be able to sue the pants off them.

      I saw the 1st episode. I think I was maybe 12ish. And yes, we watched more after that.

      Such a classic. I used to always watch that with my dad.

      I remember watching it at the Grandparents cabin - oh my word! the things the put on air then - we can't do now,.. and in retrospec... things we have now - would never ever have made it then... (GASP: covers kids eyes/covering MY EYES).

      I just got a ticket for Ohio Linux Fest. I'll only be able to attend Saturday, but looks like some interesting things happening.

      https://olfconference.org/ if anyone else is interested.

      Well, after the conference, I think it's time to give tower another look. A lot has changed, and it should be stable now.

      My manager (IT Manager) messaged me a screenshot of speedtest.net results from one of our DC's that showed there is 33 ms ping times, and that I should look into this. I login the DC, pull up command line, ran a continuous ping to 8.8.8.8 with solid 3ms ping times. I sent him a screenshot of the command prompt and said ping times look solid to me, and speedtest.net does not give accurate results of network latency from a computer as the built-in ping utility from windows.

      This is basic troubleshooting, and is just sad.

      Currently having my mind BLOWN by this crazy, Siberian throat singing album my neighbor let me borrow. It's kinda metal-esqe, very heavy, but it's just voice and traditional folk instrumentation. And it's a studio album, so their use of reverb and other effects add to the uniqueness. NYTT LAND!!!

      FCC “consumer advisory” panel includes ALEC, big foe of municipal broadband

      A committee that advises the Federal Communications Commission on consumer-related matters now includes a representative of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which lobbies against municipal broadband, net neutrality, and other consumer protection measures.

      Nope, I'm plagued by email reminders even though I deleted it.

      I don't get reminders. Maybe yo ucan't turn them off because you deleted it. LOL Go to the web login to turn them off.

      Might also consider a ring light.

      Actually the white wall that is just behind the laptop is much better than a ring light. Just bounce a light source of it and you'll get a very nice light. Search for "bounce lighting" if you want examples.

      I have this setup - I have a LED lap that I pointed a the wall and turned the camera on - much better lighting for video calls and wat not.

      Thanks for the idea!
