Adventures in DSL land last night. For a small while, the ping between my router and the other end of the PPPoE connection was 200ms.
If it makes you feel any better,... my In-Laws had fiber installed yesterday... They are rural... DSL most sorta works out there and the only other option is Sat...
I can't get Fiber likely for another 3-5 years. and I'm about 5 miles from where it currently stops.
I'm on the waiting list for Stalink, and I'm doing some research into fiber or possible a dedicated copper connection. Both of which are a non-trivial expense, but if it might make sense as an investment into the property, then I'll consider the build out.

Testing / familiarizing myself with putting MeshCentral behind an Nginx reverse proxy.

@eddiejennings I took a look at Starlink, it'd be pretty outstanding to have 'net access in the middle of the Simpson Desert etc etc, but at $135/month, forget it.

Fiber - what's fiber?
Fiber was a member of the East German mens 4 x 200 metre swimming relay team, that competed at the 1874 winter Olympics in Tasmania.

Ugh, Quickbooks lost a months worth of data at a client. Wish me luck, I'll need it.

Playing with Powershell waiting for calls this morning - found a free microsoft course on powershell scripting.

Well, storing financial data in a non-production database without basic production protections... seems like someone was thinking this wasn't very important data.

Haha, you think $135/mo is expensive? Damn, must be nice to not live in the EEUU. Because that's pretty cheap there!
Here in Nicaragua good Internet is around $30/mo. So it would be expensive for us too, but not compared to commercial fiber which is a bit more.

I've got fiber AND Starlink on order for most of a year.

What you've been missing is that they agree with you. They just think that the company's financial data isn't important.

Audio editing... Making sure everything is trimmed up right so the new album can be rendered out and sent for mixdown and mastering. Hard hitting, heavy psychedelic rock coming soon.

In the mist of a freezing rain / ice / snow storm - worked from home this afternoon and now I am going back to actively hunting and sadly am not the only one in the office doing so. And such great potential...
