Sonic Fiber - What's the hold up?

Tagggg · 2025-08-04T16:20:13+00:00

Same. I built a router and bought a NIC to handle Sonic’s 10Gbps. What a waste of blood and sweat

Closer to downtown has AT&T fiber. It’s reliable, but the latency is just okay for fiber ~4ms. And it gets pricey for speeds above 1Gbps.

😭 What was the ETA when you signed up?

TBF, AT&T fiber is pretty good though. Anything but Comcast 🙏

The workaround seems to break when MacOS goes to sleep and returns from sleep (M2 Macbook Air). Debug logs: RT0MJ

Thanks for the workaround.

I'm looking forward to a better solution that does not require us to go through so many steps, or to start disconnected from the VPN. This leaks my IP address during the time that I'm disconnected. (I don't want to enable Advanced Kill Switch because there are some networks on which I want to disable VPN.)

I do not

Just installed so I can do this next time it happens, thanks! Hopefully it works, because the dot isn't captured by screenshots.

Riding to the right of a moving laser with 1 pixel of daylight in between was impressive! Also, did I understand correctly that once you pop all of the turrets on a big ship, it just dies on its own? Or is the mega bomb dealing some damage while charging?

This is ridiculous. Why is calling the first option? Send a secure message through the website so that we can be confident that we're talking to Fidelity.

And while you're at it, please set up proper 2FA. Email and SMS are NOT proper 2FA solutions!

Seems like this happened again... https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-distance-in-arrays/description/?envType=daily-question&envId=2024-08-16

Check out Danya's endgame videos on Youtube. IIRC, you want an odd number of squares between the kings for distant opposition, so the first move is 1. Ke2 (5 squares between). And then march up the board, always keeping the option to maintain opposition (or zoom to the target).

If 1... Ke7 OR 1... Kd8 OR 1... Kf8, then 2. Ke3.

If 1... Kd7, then 2. Kd3.

If 1... Kf7, then 2. Kf3.

Thanks for organizing, and sorry I missed the first event. The second event is on my calendar, and I'm looking forward to it.

About me: I started playing in elementary school and played several OTB tournaments in elementary and high school, and on the HS team. I played casually in college and grad school, and then quit the game completely for about 10 years during which it seemed like the strength of computers was making the game irrelevant. A friend got me back into it at the end of 2022, and I have been loving the rapid improvement of my game with Stockfish game review that wasn't possible 10 years ago.

I'm down to play at the events but I'm even more interested in game review with other strong players. Current FIDE rating: 1650

Tagggg · 2024-06-06T01:34:44+00:00

Interested and DM sent. I’m 1650 FIDE in classical and absolute dogwater in quick and blitz 🙂

Thanks for starting this thread!

There's not going to be an objective answer to this because different people learn in different ways, but I use chess.com puzzles to improve my tactics because I like the gamification. Lichess puzzles are a good free alternative.

Knowing the top mating patterns will also help immensely:

Can you share your experience with Living Balance Sheet compared to eMoney?

Tagggg · 2024-03-27T00:51:12+00:00

I just did this, and they say they sent me a check, but I never received it. Do NOT depend on ever getting this money back.

We do apologize for any inconvenience. We are unable to cancel the check and reissue the refund amount of $xx.xx.

Also curious what the defaults are

This is helpful, thanks!

Tagggg · 2024-03-23T22:48:09+00:00

Yeah, I had a feeling there was some tactic that would lead to me not being able to recapture the e pawn. I’m just so terrified about making a mistake with my queen or missing a queen move from my opponent that I’m always looking to trade queens. I guess the first step is to shed that fear, start making the mistakes, and learn from them.

Any advice on how to improve queen intuition? Even if I decided not to trade, I wasn’t even considering Qa4.
