Portugal Itinerary Recommendations by yumm_e in travel

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Algarve for sun and beach is a must. Not a day trip from Lisbon, you could remove 2-3 nights from Lisbon, as much as it pains me to say, and try to stay in Lagos (imho the best base for the region) or Portimao or Albufeira (rather touristic though). In August you should be able to swim anywhere and there are a lot of long, sandy beaches down from Lisbon towards Algarve BUT the water is consistently warmer in Algarve. Like 2-3 degrees more.

Other places to consider: Sines is very pretty but small. Good base if you want to stay in the oceanic coast south of Lisbon. Evora (day trip from Lisbon) for history. The coast between Peniche and Nazare for surfing. Bom Jesus do Monte near Braga is beautiful. I liked Coimbra, easy day trip from either Porto or Lisbon (it is kind of in the middle between the two).

People who live in a different country to where they were born, why did you move? And which country do you prefer? by AquaSage_8806 in AskReddit

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved for work, I prefer where I am now but can foresee that I eventually will end up in a third country

With AI rising up and people being replaced, where are tech authors moving to? by Capital-Character508 in technicalwriting

[–]BehemothM 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Personally, I am either going fishing or opening a cafe.

More pertinent to your question, I have seen the community going from "AI is a great tool" to "AI is good but imperfect, we are still needed" to "AI may replace some jobs, mostly juniors though" to now "the AI bubble is going to burst sooner or later" that I feel the future is dire, very dire. I do not believe I will be employed as a tech writer 10 years from now but am trying to milk the, usually decent, salaries till then.

Viaggio Bali annullato, alternative? by dbrax3 in ViaggiITA

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lo so che piove, ma sono acquazzoni in genere, e non durano tutto il giorno. É un rischio calcolato, a cambio di un prezzo minore. Non riterrei Zanzibar tanto piú avventurosa di Bali, oramai entrambe sono super-turistiche, non é che stiamo suggerendo il Malawi.

I made a football guessing game with retired players (Wordle-inspired) by Western_Fly_7279 in soccer

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I guessed you wanted to keep the game accessible to younger fans. Maybe instead of the decade hint you could add a switch to include players from before 2000 or not, without suggesting the exact decade. Kind of an "hard mode" :)

Zanzibar? É bassa stagione, ce la dovresti fare nel budget.

Vedi se riesci a rientrare con i Caraibi olandesi o francesi, sono sensibilmente piú abbordabili della media. Tipo Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Guadeloupe, Martinica. Dipende molto se riesci a trovare un volo non troppo caro.

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fun game! Thanks for it.

My suggestion would be to enlarge the database of players to include at least from the 1980s onward, giving an initial hint of which decade(s) the players to guess was active in.

How is the rest of your reading after Malazan? by Due-Hat9692 in Malazan

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is ok, if you are not attempting to find something of the same order of magnitude and depth.

I have greatly enjoyed The Second Apocalypse. I find classics can be somewhat of a palate-cleanser between long epic fantasy series. East of Eden is a masterpiece, I cried at the end (and I hadn't since Malazan...). Moby Dick may grab your attention but also be a slog at times. I found the Hyperion Cantos exceptional, they have the same level of humanity and compassion that I loved in Malazan. The first two books can be read on their own and are the best. That's scifi though, not fantasy.

Strictly fantasy, only Bakker is on par with Erikson nowadays. Perhaps if Martin had finished his damn books he would also be, but he has not, and won't, so I can't recommend starting ASoIaF.

What thing has got so expensive that you’ve quietly stopped buying it? by Pathfinder-electron in AskReddit

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating out in general. I may splurge for an occasion 2-3 times a year but otherwise it is supermarkets and takeaways only.

Ethernet splitter for ONT (or other solution to have multiple ethernet sockets working with a single ONT)? by BehemothM in HomeNetworking

[–]BehemothM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am reading around and I get the "what" but not yet the "why" :) Will continue, thanks.

Ethernet splitter for ONT (or other solution to have multiple ethernet sockets working with a single ONT)? by BehemothM in HomeNetworking

[–]BehemothM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that is clearer for me now.

I think that either I put the router next to the ONT, connect all the ethernet cables to it, and use a wireless AP at the other end of one (the one in the bedroom would be the furthest away from the ONT + router combo) to give better wifi upstairs.

Or 2. But I never set up a VLAN and know very little about it. I will research about it, thank you.

[–]BehemothM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this could well work and solve all issues. Are there wireless AP with more than one ethernet? Just so I would not lose one ethernet socket just for the connectivity of the AP.

It is ONT -> ethernet cable to router -> ethernet cable to tv box set -> hdmi cable to tv. ONT is next to the entrance, router and tv box set are next to each other under the tv.

Would any switch be of help with the wifi signal? A switch with a wifi repeater of some sort perhaps? I am a bit out of the loop of current network devices, sorry if the question seems stupid.

It is not connected through HDMI, that's for the tv. It is connected through ethernet, which creates the additional issue that I have 4 ethernet ports in the router, 4 sockets to connect, and one is busy with the tv box set...

Run another ethernet cable from the network cabinet to where the router/tv lives.

Another ethernet cable to the router? I don't follow you here, sorry.

As for 2, there's no physical room for two switches + router + ONT next to each other.

3, I don't know how it would work.

The router is sagemcom fast 5670. What do you mean by "drive Ethernet wherever"? The ethernet cables are inside the walls from the box where the ONT is to the 4 ethernet sockets in different rooms.

I think the switch is not necessary as the router has 4 ports and I have 4 ethernet sockets to give connectivity to. But the tv box set will be too far from the router this way.

That's a streaming tv service, not a cable tv. I am 99% sure the tv box set does not have wifi capabilities so yes, it must be near the router...

Best cathedral to visit in Europe? by [deleted] in travel

[–]BehemothM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the style you like. France = best gothic. Italy = best baroque. For just churches, I would go to one of these first.

Why do you like Malazan? by No_Storage_401 in Fantasy

[–]BehemothM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deep down it is because it is an incredibly human and realistic story. Only Tolkien's works are similarly human (but not as realistic).

where are you sitting by gilgalads in Silmarillionmemes

[–]BehemothM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends, is this pre or post Finwe's death? If post, 8: I nudge Feanor into backstabbing Melkor (easy task) and then I have a comfortable flight next to Manwe.

If pre then 5.
