xmichael99··on Costa Rica signs law to attract digital nomads
Excellent, one of the safer countries in the world.
xmichael99··on Costa Rica signs law to attract digital nomads
That would be several thousand bucks a month, but there are numerous companies in the city that would run the fiber to your house. I had 50/50 and was paying $300 with a company called fibernet, but I dropped that in favor of a 300/20 + a 100/10 backup/load balanced at my house in the city.

Atlantic side tends to suck, try going back and explore the Pacific!
xmichael99··on Costa Rica signs law to attract digital nomads
Excellent, I have 300 MBPS/20 MBPS fiber at my house near the capital San Jose, and at our beach place (Jaco Beach) I have cable internet which is 200 MBPS/10 MBPS. Both cost about $90 a month cabletica.com tigo.cr kolbi.cr are the three main ones but there are tons of options and starlink will be available in early 2022.
xmichael99··on Why we decided for and against Ubuntu Core
Devuan.
xmichael99··on I bought 200 Raspberry Pi Model B’s and I’m going to fix them
so dumb...

"I’m sorry to disappoint but I won’t be building a cluster or decorating my walls with them! In fact I don’t have a project planned for these instead they will be sold on starting at £4 for a “Model A” and up to £9 for a fully boxed un-repaired Model B. I’m not doing this to make a quick buck I’m doing it for the blog content and the experience and to hopefully provide you guys with some very cheap Raspberry Pi’s for your projects!"

xmichael99··on Milestone: Half a million downloads for VideoLAN packages in the .NET ecosystem
I regularly use this and love it. The guys did a great job and a great job supporting it too!
xmichael99··on OpenBSD 6.8 released (OpenBSD's 25th anniversary)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_de_Raadt

The guy who founded and does a fair bit of the work. Interesting skim.

xmichael99··on Janus WebRTC Server
I checked out the project on github, and I was a little surprised to see no mention of jsmpeg.com as over on that project the number one question and issue is the lack of a quality web socket server. Long story short, anyone try this or think it would fit with jsmpeg?
xmichael99··on How to disable the built-in Windows 10 ads
Is there no magic script or program out there that will just do this for my lazy ass? (:
xmichael99··on Disk Prices on Amazon
Apparently it's against Amazon's API terms to compare with other sites. I recall years ago the guy who runs the site explained that he is only ok to compare Amazon with Amazon.
xmichael99··on Deep Dive Into C# 9
I read your comment twice trying to fully understand your perspective. I've been working in C# off an on now for about 10 years and as a guy who "grew up" on version 2, I mostly use the core features, but wow do I love some of the new features. The introduction of Tuples in 7 changed the way I program so dramatically in a positive way - every has their own style for me Tuples as per my example allow me to return a code + the data. I welcome the improvements and think MS is doing an amazing job.
xmichael99··on Elementary OS – Fast, open, privacy-respecting replacement for Windows and macOS
Oh you use ArchLinux, tell me more (;
xmichael99··on Qualcomm Plans Exit From Server Chips
It should also be noted that Cloudflare lies about nearly everything? Bandwidth numbers are always inflated at least 5x reality.
xmichael99··on OVH CEO: Unlike Amazon, Google, “we will never be in competition with you”
That is assuming you manage to find the right portal to log into! Heaven forbid you travel and hit their geofence!
xmichael99··on OVH CEO: Unlike Amazon, Google, “we will never be in competition with you”
OVH won't do anything even slightly advanced, no BGP support, no firewall beyond the very basic stuff and everything about OVH is super confusing. It is like they got together and decided to make up nonconventional names to common network terms to piss everyone off. OVH is pretty cheap, but very basic. Plus good luck trying to understand an overage bill.
xmichael99··on Lsofgraph – Convert lsof output to graph of processes, pipes, fifos and sockets
Waiting for your github posting (:
xmichael99··on Lsofgraph – Convert lsof output to graph of processes, pipes, fifos and sockets
Thank you for referencing the package dot is in!
xmichael99··on Knusperli: A deblocking JPEG decoder
C# wrapper? :D
xmichael99··on Nuklear: A single-header ANSI C GUI library
C# Wrapper please!
xmichael99··on Low-Latency Video Processing Using Thousands of Tiny Threads [pdf]
Yah I read it and just shook my head as silly...
xmichael99··on Learn FFmpeg the hard way
I would gladly donate to anyone that wants to statically bind this for use with c# with mono multiplatform support. I really would love to see the power of FFmpeg open to more apps. I've used FFmpeg libs dynamically linked, but it requires FFmpeg be installed on the system.
xmichael99··on Toward better CPU load estimation
Do note that this does not work on multiple CPU's (e.g. 2 sockets) it does however work on multiple cores. ( 1 physical CPU with multiple cores )
xmichael99··on An Open Letter to the FCC
Like my father always used to say - being apathetic on any important issue makes you; a pathetic! (:
xmichael99··on Show HN: LogoFox – fast logo maker
Why only alpha numerics? Totally fails me because of that
xmichael99··on 20 Years of Adobe Photoshop
Cool stuff, never heard of Affinity Photo but looks great! You likely created a new customer for them!
xmichael99··on OVH Incident in Strasbourg
This happens to Internap almost weekly... I always wondered why they never make it in the news.
xmichael99··on LightVM – A new virtualization solution based on Xen
ZeroVM, thanks for the link. I wonder if this solves glibc type dependencies across platforms, it seems unclear.
xmichael99··on ChrysaLisp – A 64-bit Lisp OS with GUI
For me, calling something an OS requires it to have it's own kernel ... maybe thats just me, but I think this is the 2nd project this month which has called itself an OS when in reality it is just a GUI.
xmichael99··on CockroachDB 1.1 Released: Production Made Easy
TiDB is really cool, however my experience in reporting bugs to them didn't go well... I was trying to report that a generic sql file produced from mysqldump failed to import into tidb. I simply provided a sample table and a comment of the issue, and they told me to go F* myself. There seems to be no shortage of hostile comments from the TiDB developers if you google around a bit.
