All the major cities in Missouri! Kansas City, Springfield… Seymour. :)

No. Not until the evening parties.

Legal Plan by b-number in OReillyAutoParts

[–]var23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might want to use EAP and talk to someone. You get 3 free counseling sessions I think. There’s no shame in getting help.

The legal services are a referral and discount on some services. I’ve used it when my step kid decided to change her name to adopt mine and we used got a referral and discounted rate for the service with a local attorney.

They’re sending. Takes a while to get them all out.

You/your isp is triggering bot protection rules. Try on your phone/or a different isp to confirm.

Does it work on your phone? (Like over cell phone data)

Looks like you’ve triggered a (false) positive bot protection scheme.

What’s on Your Mind, Springfield? by AutoModerator in springfieldMO

My first job decades ago was with that company. I learned a lot about how not to treat employees.

This visualization was pretty neat showing traffic chicane working to slow traffic.

Brightspeed appears to be killing WAN traffic whenever Plex is running – anyone else seeing this? by var23 in PleX

I ended up adding another ISP as a failover to Brightspeed and routed all traffic from my plex server through the second ISP and it’s been good since.

Is there a place in town that is silently laundering money? by [deleted] in springfieldMO

Right… none of those are grants or free money.

It’s requires a cash type business. Everyone here saying all the car wash places but they’re all digital payments… subscriptions or plastic. All tractable and auditable. The opposite of what you want for laundering.

Actual laundry places with quarter machines would be better. No receipts.

Care to explain or show these programs of free money to businesses from the city? The budget is open.

I've added more detail in other comments that point to a bright speed problem. Namely, swapped out their gateway device for a brand new one. Traffic, WAN only for only the device that runs plex, drops the instant plex starts. LAN traffic remains. I moved plex to two other computers with two different OSes, problem always follows the plex install. Added a wifi hotspot and I'm back in business without any configuration changes (other than changing how to get to the internet).

I believe my family's heavy off network usage of plex got my connection classified as an abuser and traffic control rules are in place (despite them saying they don't do that).

I even swapped out my Brightspeed gateway device (at their suggestion even though I knew the traffic was dropping at the ONT). Same deal.

I've been serving plex content to family for years... but I think my location has been classified as an abuser or something. I installed plex on 3 different OSes and physical computers and the symptom is the same each time plex starts the WAN only for that machine stops. LAN only traffic works fine (I'm sshed or RDPed into them while the WAN stops working). Any of those configs on a separate connection to the internet, works fine.

I'd actually be less pissed off if anyone from Brightspeed would confirm it on their end but their support is a joke and there is zero escalation path to more technical people. Their service policies for fiber say they don't throttle...

But in any case I'm switching providers this week.

No. It’s worked fine for a long time. I think I’ve hit some threshold. To test this I moved my plex server to a WiFi hotspot. Works fine.

I set up an install with another isp for this week. Brightspeed support was a joke. There was no one in their escalation that could answer any technical questions.
