I just thought this was funny...

my brother is sending me a 'few' files through my FTP. We had never seen a "days" dialog before.

It's also kind of funny that we get awesome connections with everyone else in the world but each other...

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks to my brother, Evil, for the screen ;)

I run fiber optic he runs dsl. We both get fantastic rates with everyone else we connect to. Whats so funny is that we only live about 10 miles away from each other. We could burn cd's of the files, walk them to each others houses, and be back enjoying a beer before this transfer was finished.

My brother and I are 10 miles apart. I ran traceroute on a new transfer (we killed that 51 day transfer yesterday) and it seems our data is moved over most of North America and into Britain and then back again.:dead:

So he's bringing me some data cd's tomorrow (in exchange for a sweet 2 hour Bruce Lee biography I have on tape)...looks like we'll be finished 47 days early!

What's funny is I ran a traceroute on a Q3 server located about 100 miles away from me that I use alot...the data doesn't even leave the state. Go figure.

    • Microsoft explains how it made Teams so much faster in 2026

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

    • Phone Dilemma

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
