leave it to serve files and iscsi. it's very good at it
if you leave it alone, no extra software, it will basically be completely stable. it's really impressive
as you say, cutthroat

Specifically looking for non-growth mindset, non-toxic, normal jobs. If you work weekends, please move along. If you grind people against each other in weird secretive stack ranking exercises, please also move along.
I'm nice, helpful, communicative, and open, and I would like to work in a place that expects that. Please.
It does not ask you to play Candy Crush, for example.
single binary, no complex deps, ftw
remote: ok, have done so for many years
willing to relocate: too complicated
technologies: java (25 years), python (1 year, but it's fun)
resume: apple, google, startups, a bank, 20+ years of experience, 1st class degree from a good institution. email me for a pdf please
no 'growth mindset' places please

pretty cool that we are undoing it as a design decision
but it will take a long time
but i called them to sign up, and they told me my house was two apartments. it isn't. it never has been. and when i asked them to update their data, the operator said that isn't something she can do.
i would be a customer otherwise. sigh.
i so desperately want it to work, but it messes up often enough that it's not worth it yet
fwiw, using local intellij with nfs mounted source is a better experience

Works well for me (600mbit down / 400mbit up, over a single pair of cat 3)
(1) Running gigabit ethernet over the cat 5. Maybe it works?
(2) Look at GFast. I run a GFast service in my apartment block. We have Cat 3 (yes, 3!) cable. We can do 500mbit. You would need to buy a DSLAM.
Very impressed with the colo{u,}r purity
You can disconnect the transformer and power with 36v DC. Dimming works well with a PWM Meanwell dimmer (0-10v input)
If you're like me and want to avoid proprietary/locked-in stuff, highly recommend doing the 0-10v thing. Your control system is then separate from what drives the lights
Their lack of Wifi 6 across the range, and the security problems drive me to look at alternatives. Found the Netgear WAX610. Very happy with them.
not the full web interface, but... try wireshark on it
if you have the right setting enabled, you'll find it is broadcasting its status onto the network for you to pick up
vigor's routers use this info. to show line speed etc. when using a modem via the router
machines: I have won
humans: oh
:-)
Things get sped up, slowed down or played back with jitter. It's not great. Older devices (DVD/BD players) used to change framerate automatically. Newer devices (streaming) seem to default to 60hz with an obscure Settings menu to manually change it. Nearly everyone ends up watching the content in the wrong frame rate :-(
