Cool! Found this bundle. Goes for about €54. (Swedish site) https://www.kjell.com/se/produkter/natverk/installationsmateriel/verktyg/dibotech-verktygsvaska-for-natverksinstallation-p38194

I knew there had to be some truth to the “have you tried rebooting” trope…

I was mentally prepared for anything at this late a time on a Friday when all I wanted to do is to grab some sweet Linux ISOs to enjoy. So I explained every single step that I had taken, described every piece of hardware and exposed any and all quirky software that I had turned off for the final speed test. They were extremely polite and kind when they said, “you are exactly right, sir, the ports on your ONT can only deliver 100 Mbit/s. We’re getting you a new one.”

I was so goddamn relieved.

Thanks for sharing! I was also surprised and even tried to “provoke” an explanation as to why it wasn’t changed a long time ago, or at the very least, why they allowed me to electronically sign a contract that they would not be able to live up to…

And your story reminded me, that I really should try to remember to tell the technician that they are sending out sometime next week to check my cables! I’d hate for them to leave me a gigabit ONT with who know what ancient category Ethernet cables in my walls…

Is this something that you were able to do? I unfortunately don’t have the necessary skills for that… YET!

Thanks! In that case, I am proud :D

LOL AdAway blocked liberux.net wtf😂 but thanks! The specs are surprisingly good too! :O

Right, then I’ll just stay on my current build, being careful not to flash an OS update 😈

But in all seriousness, couldn’t one manage without OS updates - relying on only proper cyber hygiene and opsec - until a more viable solution comes up? 🤔

Apart from how unethical it is for a government to target activists instead of inviting them for dialogue, this could have been avoided with decent opsec. Be kind, be educational! ✊❤️‍🔥

It would also be nice to see the Commission reach out to and making good use of all the talented software engineers that reside in the member states, perhaps even trying to evenly distribute outreach, not just focusing on states that produce economic wealth. It would be even nicer to see the Commission realize the benefits of and invest in open source software and hardware in creating the EuroStack.

Thanks! I’m doing this on Linux, which I failed to mention in the post. I terminated the program with ctrl + c, but it was still interesting to me how such a short, seemingly uncomplicated snippet could tax my Ryzen 7 5800 X3D so much that the fans needed to increase their speed. Couldn’t a malicious actor theoretically disrupt a target machine by having an unnoticeably insignificant program loop in the background, taxing the CPU to it’s usable limits? This is off topic of course, but still interesting.

Thank you so much! :D Yeah, I noticed there were no remainders. I’ll try with float and see what I can come up with.

Thanks! Really important to have fun with it too! :)

This is amazing(ly curious)! I put in a letter, the program went into an infinite loop and my chassi fans sped up like crazy.

Checking it out now. Thanks!

Thanks! I really appreciate the more advanced steps too! Now I have something to do next weekend! :D

Looking into it now! Thanks! :)

Signing off now, but I did have the strength left to do this:

else if (choice == 4) {
                        if (num2 == 0) printf("\nhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_by_zero\n\n");
                        else {
                        memory = num1 / num2;
                        printf("\nThe quotient of %d and %d is %d\n\n", num1, num2, memory);
                        }
                }

Cheers!

Thank you! I really appreciate your guidance! It almost feels like you could have experience from teaching or the likes, since you are so good at explaining! Or maybe that just comes with being a senior SE? Either way, thanks again!
