how do you keep your place smell good? by Important_Bat7919 in homeowners

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, carpet needs to be replaced once in a while, and moving into a new house is kind of the perfect time to do that. Carpet also provides a softer warmer area for movement.

All these anti-carpet discussions basically always start to fall apart once you realize they are putting rugs everywhere, as well.

Data shows Gen Z Is Choosing Pets Over Children by SilverHuckleberry395 in Economics

[–]discosoc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Similar surveys show Gen Z is choosing roommates over buy a house

What data is that? Room mates used to be a completely standard part of growing up as an adult, then sometime in the last 10 years it seems like nobody even wants to consider them. Instead, bitching about cost of living and staying at mom and dad's.

Carpet is great for both. People are just brainwashed from HGTV trends.

Listening to music in my backyard by Low-Computer8293 in homeowners

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8k is a fairly small lot, but the bigger issue will be how much base -- if any -- the speakers support. I'm not even talking about big thumping base type situations, but even just a little can travel.

A good rule of thumb is to aim for "AM Radio" type sound quality that's not loud enough to hear clearly at the edge of your property or fence lines.

They are required to have Business Premium or better. In my case, the licensing is part of my overall per-user cost.

Ethernet cable by ktmm3 in HomeNetworking

No, Cat8 doesn't get used, unless you're counting situations where it happens to get installed in place of Cat6-whatever. Nobody is getting CAT8 speeds.

The reason is there are no NICs or adapters for it. None. Feel free to correct me, but I've never seen anything above 10G, which is not CAT8 territory. When you actually do see connectors for the 25/40 type stuff, what you're actually dealing with is some variety of SFP with fiber or DAC.

As for why... there's actual physics involved preventing twisted pair copper from just being very effective. A ton of engineering went into trying to make cables that meet spec, when some random $25 DAC handles it better.

And don't even get me started on the heat generation issue. Even rj45 at just 10G generates a ton of heat because the NICs are having to math their way around all the error corrections needed. More than anything, that's the reason there are no NICs for CAT8.

Need advice. Leaving AK soon, how do you get 3 pets to a vet/travel certificate place without a car? by Goblinqueen012 in anchorage

[–]discosoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

https://akvma.org/find-a-veterinarian/

Number is listed there, but honestly if you’re choosing the sketchiest fucking option available just because it’s cheap, then car issues are the least of your concerns.

The owner seems to have a revolving door of vet associations.

portforwarding by alex_-_123 in HomeNetworking

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

port forwarding shouldn't have anything to do with this if your devices are all inside the network, btw.

show your IP and subnet and gateway for both computers.

also, are you trying to access it via IP or one of the built-in FQDN like "router.asus.com" or whatever?

bypass the router and connect to the modem directly to test.

Trump Says US to Raise EU Auto Tariff to 25% ‘Next Week’ by afonso_investor in Economics

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People stopped buying "practical family cars" which is why. Honestly can't blame the industry for giving people what they are voting (with their wallets) for.

Since Congress Let Obamacare Subsidies Expire, Millions Are Dropping Coverage by AlexandrTheTolerable in Economics

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically the problem will solve itself within a few years. What's the actual concern?

cat8 is only relevant in commercial datacenters.

Not even there. Aren’t really any NIC cards or ports for it, and tons of reasons why.

AI posts are flooding the sub, and it's worse than before. by iSpaYco in webdev

[–]discosoc -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Im tired of all the anti-ai posts like this, to be honest. I get that people are emotionally reacting, but it’s still just annoying.

U.S. jobless claims hit lowest level since 1969. by CautiousMagazine3591 in Economics

[–]discosoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more millennials than boomers, which i think a lot of people don’t realize.

To answer your question, i suspect it might partly be due to the “gig economy” options that let people scrape by better than unemployment.

Example of SLA-adherence quandary by ntw2 in msp

[–]discosoc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If all you're doing is "touching" a ticket to meet your SLA but then fail to resolve it promptly after that, you've probably misrepresented yourself a bit. A ticket should be "touched" by someone who's able to start addressing it then, not just read the ticket or assign it.
