I have a couple of keyboards lying around, I have become increasingly particular over the years about having full sized arrow keys numbers pad on the side, full sized enter and shift keys, heh.

That's one nice reel.

Still updating some PHP functions on the back end, but almost done. Updated the GeoIP library for IPs on the main site today.

Hehe, be careful about the max legal size limit

In Florida recreational limit is 11 to 22 inches fork length.

Looks like you have a comfy setup there, I prefer spinning reels for normal size fishies, I only use conventional if we go deep-sea/reef fishing for bigger game.

Good to hear, not scientific but it seems faster on my end too.

Welcome to the new SG server (Dual AMD Epycs, 256GB RAM, 3ea. Samsung 990 Pro NVME SSDs in RAID1, etc.) !!!
Upgraded OS to latest Fedora Core Linux, PHP, SQL, etc. It was a major change, especially for the main site and the forums, everything had to be updated to work with PHP 8.

This upgrade has ...

Good to see you around as well! :)

I tell people they don't need 1Gbps if they can get away with 500Mbps anymore, unless you are a power user with a number of teens in the house downloading large files, heh. Even streaming 4K video is 10Mbps or less, so yeah, speeds changed ;) Technology also ...

21ms of latency is great.

You can't directly change the RWIN/TCP Window value in Windows 10, so don't worry about it, as long as the TCP Auto Tuning is set on "Auto" in the TCP Optimizer it will be fine.

Congrats on the updated Internet speed, that's quite a difference, heh

Ordered one, it's processing. Tempted to order a second, heh (edit: tried, wouldn't let me use the code a second time).

If anyone else is interested, the gift card is in the "Shell Shocker" section.

That sounds really good, thanks

Good points TonyT, I also find some of the major brands' UI unnecessarily bloated compared to stock Android.

Yeah newer phones are much faster. I upgrade more often because technology changes, and I am cheap, so I don't get the top shelf phones usually

Good comparison of Android phones processor speeds, whatever that's worth (I prefer the multi-core performance tab) :

Yeah, most manufacturers are moving away from the MicroSD slot. OnePlus only has it on their budget phones, like OnePlus Nord CE4 (2024 model).

That said, when I fill up 128Gb/256Gb I just backup videos/pics to the PC and start over anyway.. I do have some mp3s on the phone, but for music I also ...

I stopped buying Samsung phones, I have their Galaxy S Tablet thgough.
For phones, I look at OnePlus or Google Pixel, etc. Something with more stock Android and good specs, without paying the Samsung premium.

Android or Apple? 8 years is a lot in phone years, heh.. I change mine every 2-3 years it seems. Newer OS versions usually require better hardware, newer models have better cameras, etc.

I was encoding some old TV shows in x265 HEVC, and just switching to the appropriate NVDIA codec vs the default one gave me like 3x encoding boost, 3x reduction in time, even though my CPU is pretty good (Ryzen 9 7900).

They don't, heh, unless they have money from a side hustle, or a Youtube channel, discord followers, family, etc.
The most expensive cards I bought were close to 1k, but I used them for crypto mining, so that they paid for themselves in less than 6 months.
I have a RTX3080 in my rig now, I liked the ...

Happy Birthday!

Most models that are fairly recent (released in the past couple of years) should be fine. Depending on your use, there are two major things I consider:
1) Screen size - anything from 8" for one-handed reading use, ~10" is good versatile size, and 12" feels more like a laptop/stationary use.
2) SIM ...

Hoping there is not much damage.

I would go through all the Network Adapter settings on the server. Disable all types of packet "coalescing". I would try without jumbo frames as well.

If the issue is only with your own client, that machine may need some TCP tuning.
I would try enabling "Jumbo Frames". I would go through all the Network Adapter settings, turn off any "Packet Coalescing" and "Offloads", "Green Ethernet", etc.
Look through this article:

Very nice fishy indeed

Happy Birthday, and many more!

When starting the TCP Optimizer tries to read all properties from the Windows Registry, etc., however, it may not be able to read all adapter-specific settings for all network adapters.. Probably that's the case, it just doesn't read all settings on startup, even though it applies them properly ...

Yeah, totalitarian regimes at some point just dig in, regardless of what it will do to their economy, that's not their driving force.
China scares me much more than Russia though. Their economy/GDP is huge, they have more engineers than us, they have more factories than us, their work force is ...

The tariffs rollercoaster, heh.. Even Apple airlifted 600 tons of iPhones out of India to the US at the end of March to mitigate the effects of tariffs, companies don't know what their costs will be tomorrow.

Seems to me tariffs shouldn't be that complicated. You can't always try to use them as a ...

If you edit the setting in the Network Adapter properties without using the Optimizer, does it survive reboots?

MD! You got to two posts already!

Have you tried a different mouse, or if the problem persists when the mouse is disconnected? One of the mouse buttons may be stuck at times?

Is there another slider you can use for the speakers from the Windows menus? Remove uninstall/reinstall audio drivers?

Happy Birthday Humby!

I also used Teamviewer a few years back, until they made it very expensive, and marked every residential user as "business"... It basically broke most clients, many people moved away from it.

Thanks for sharing Tony!

Do you use self-hosting with Rust Desk? Do you run your server on a Windows machine?

I often use Ultra VNC, problem being you have to set port forwarding in the client modem/router, and also allow it in the Windows Firewall.

Ah, that sounds like fun, heh. Glad you figured it out.

I haven't used Aero Admin. Could be something with the protocols it uses, and/or a "Virtual Monitor Driver". If it happens to a PC you can play with, I would compare with another tool like UVNC.

Heh, kind of specific :)

For Flatpack MCU... there is a manual that suggests password is set to a default "service"
See page 72 https://nickvsnetworking.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/351300-013_OperGde_Flatpack-MCU-Mon-Ctrl-Unit.pdf

For the Flatpack v2, the default password to change parameters ...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to those who celebrate it. Stay sober enough to remember it

We're having some Shepherd's pie and Corned Beef from an Irish Pub down the street with the wifey, just got takeout it's too crazy in there today
