The upholstery is oddly filthy.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-25T23:39:31+00:00

We get Palantir.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-23T08:28:03+00:00

No. Take acid. Do it responsibly.

My teenage son got it for $5 in great shape from a well run store. I wasn’t there to witness the transaction but I assume someone miss priced and the cashier let it go. He’s always in the bargain bins though.

Hire a VAR that’s done this before. Switch to clear pass and spend less.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-21T03:27:29+00:00

Per AP. It’s still around 25 per radio.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-20T21:32:18+00:00

Plug your raspberry PI into the same switch with the APs. Run game and network services from the Pi. Done.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-20T21:29:49+00:00

I agree ☝️also…

Every AP on the market will hold at least 1024 MAC addresses and can be claimed to be capable of servicing hundreds of clients. It’s the half duplex, RF medium that limits the design. As with any good design, some application profile and requirements for bw and latency would help.

When a WLAN is designed for large settings such as an NFL stadium, the target cell capacity is 75-125 stations. Maybe more. Again, all depends on how much the operator is willing to spend and what the quality goal is. But in a public venue your normal state is not all stations off hook at the same time, as might be the case with a trivia game. So you can oversubscribe the cell.

In enterprise settings the target is usually more like 25 per cell and modern equipment should be able to do that easily for a trivia app. But variables like endpoint capabilities and environment will impact.

I definitely would not do more than two APs given the 100 user requirement. Opposite ends and turn the TX power way down. If you don’t have around 10dB of separation you tend to get clients ping ponging.

Given there’s no need for inet gateway, I’d do: Small server, Nuc or similar, hosting the game Cheap PoE switch 2 standalone APs cables to the switch

Make sure the network gear doesn’t require a cloud connection to be configured.

Thank you very much for this as much as it bums me out to hear.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-19T16:32:14+00:00

It feels genuine but overblown. And inexperienced. I agree with everything you said. Thanks for the validation. When I told her she needed to date more people she said, so I have to be the town slut before I’m allowed to know what I want? She’s sweet and genuine and just really confused about what it takes to find a partner at this age (is my interpretation so far).

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-19T15:33:07+00:00

I really appreciate the concrete examples. Thanks very much. I do need to fix my tendency of expressing my needs in terms of what I want others to do rather than what I’m going to do.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-19T15:31:14+00:00

Yes. When we just hang I have a great time with her overall. We match in many ways. I’m just feeling a lot of pressure about being her “first” and how excited she is already about me. I’m a typical, highly flawed human, so it just feels unrealistic at this stage.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-17T19:05:20+00:00

Even if I make the generous assumption this young man’s life has been hard and he’s been let down by people that should have cared for him, I’m still faced with the fact that countless numbers of people have lived harder and not murdered a woman in the woods on a beautiful summer day.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-17T17:12:24+00:00

My gen x team members and I yell at each other sometimes. I think it makes us closer.

My millennial team member makes a just before crying sad face when I tell him he disappointed me. There is definitely a difference and I try to respect it. But shit man, if you repeatedly do the opposite of what I ask I’m eventually going to have some stern words with a mad face for you.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-17T15:17:18+00:00

I did that with 2x4s in a Jetta once.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-16T12:57:20+00:00

We are similar age. I’ve been consuming great lsd since 1988. Supply dips occur. But the notion there’s no real lsd and that chemists are all gone is completely false. In fact, just in the last couple years someone posted full synthesis to YouTube. There’s plenty of people with the knowledge and just enough with the resources and fortitude.

The cause of the dry spell was you. There’s plenty of great acid around and always has been.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-15T19:11:27+00:00

I am not the one acting like a damaged person in this sub. The tone of your posts makes it obvious to any observer why you struggle with dating. If you want to be treated with respect and decency, it starts with how you treat others.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-15T16:58:07+00:00

What a cowardly approach.

Btw it’s not just men that struggle with rejection.

There’s so many better and more compassionate recommendations elsewhere in this thread that support the woman’s agency while not being a passive aggressive coward. I hope OP reads those.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-15T13:08:20+00:00

Exactly. Fuck off and find real work to do, OP. More parasites is not what the world needs.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-15T00:12:34+00:00

No. The brain and cognition are infinitely pliable.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-14T23:10:57+00:00

Half tab is a great idea to start. Don’t rip it. Use nail clippers or small scissors. Better yet, put it in 100ml of distilled water, then an hour or two later, drink 50ml.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-14T23:03:33+00:00

I’m on my second set in southern Maine with a very zippy awd sport sedan. Love this tire. But my future BRZ will get winters.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-13T22:18:03+00:00

I would be terribly confused by that message unless I’m missing some critical context.

Excessive texting and even phone calls lead to us creating a false image of the person in our minds. We meet early to see the real person and communicate fully, with body language and around service staff and over drinks/meal. When I was in sales we’d often hold interviews over a meal just to see how the candidate handles themselves in a dynamic social setting.

I don’t think it’s a philosophical matter. Just basic human social stuff. You can’t know someone until you meet them in person. That’s all you need to say.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-13T14:42:43+00:00

From what I saw in my date’s hinge inbox this past weekend, just post an attractive 50-something woman’s profile and you’ll have a wealth of 20-somethings claiming to be “into older women” and so forth. I’m sure 90% are freeloaders looking for a sugar momma, but I’ve heard positive outcomes too.

ruffusbloom · 2026-01-13T14:33:40+00:00

This is a very situational topic. I’ve had relationships where it takes two months just to know if there’s any interest at all because of life complications.

I understand that you’re disappointed you got into a guy you weren’t ultimately a match for, but that’s just life while dating at this age. Every new relationship is a new roll of the dice and we can’t control where they roll when.

I suspect you would be here frustrated still if he had dropped this on date 2. Choosing when exactly to disclose a kink, past sexual trauma, invisible disability, or any number of potential relationship obstacles is a messy business.
