ATSC 3.0 having DRM that requires an internet connection. Defeats the point of over the air broadcasts if you need to be wired to the internet!

Litter, when people are inconsiderate and unaware of their surroundings, and when people talk over/ interrupt.

People who seemingly have all the time in the world to troll forums and make what could be happy places toxic. There aren’t enough positive people with spare time to keep a forum active and attractive compared to how little time it takes to turn something into a cess pit.

Steam and lemmy are my go-tos these days, probably thirty minutes a day. Yet I see the same people in every thread promoting negativity. (My block lists are in the hundreds for both sites, but once they finally incur the wrath of moderation they just make a new account)

Myself, my stupidity.

When I realize that something I spent quite some unnecessary effort on had a simple solution.
Actually just now I was playing around with Wireguard settings for an hour. Changing each setting to see if something would maybe help, searching forums, thinking about just giving up. Nothing worked.
I copied the wrong public key…

Or yesterday…
My carrier has some contract with another carrier (with faster network speeds) only for extending coverage, not load balancing. In the end their towers get me 30-50Mbps while my carrier’s only 0.5-3Mbps.
My carrier only has towers in 1800MHz band, so that’s a way to tell I am connected to the other carrier. (It signs in natively now so it’s not possible to select that carrier manually like in the past)
To connect to it, my phone needs to loose signal on my carrier. Originally I just let it do that while travelling by bus and then staying on VPN 24/7 (TCP) as it wouldn’t kill existing connections to switch bands.
I was thinking about another wild way to fix this - 1800MHz band jammer. But that would be illegal.
Yesterday however I realized what kind of a dumbass I am. It only needs to loose signal for like 15 seconds. Faraday cage.
And indeed, I tried putting it into microwave oven (TURNED OFF) for a few seconds, and TaDa! 2100MHz. 0.8Mbps -> 35Mbps.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Those sound like honest mistakes anyone in your domain could have made.

At least you learned from it? Might happen again. Probably won’t.
