Do you know if the new Messages “check-in” feature works with Android users? Or is it an iMessage feature only for other iPhone users?
I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.
I’ve only been running a few services like AdGuard Home so I can’t speak to very heavy loads. I’ve had no issues with it. I probably wouldn’t run my Plex server on it but any regular network services should be fine.
I have mine sitting on a wire metal shelf so it gets plenty of air flow. I did misconfigure the Unbound DNS server to recursively query itself and CPU load was at 100% for several hours. I noticed it was warmer physically but it was not hot enough to give me any concerns. Still well within what’s safe to run.
It depends on your goals and what you mean by HA. Do you have multiple Internet connections at your home to utilize?
If you just want to make sure you can use the Internet if one of your ISPs go down, then yeah it sounds like the gateway group + failover is the way to go. Just know that existing connections are going to break because they're associated with a different WAN IP.
The magic of these specific SDWAN products like Speedify is they're essentially a VPN client that can (or claim to) multiplex over your multiple Internet connections, terminating at their servers. So in theory they can boost bandwidth, though I'd question how well it works in reality. Then when a link goes down, your clients continue on like nothing happened, because all their Internet connections are tunneled + NAT'd through their VPN servers.
You could get a similar result by combining the gateway failover + a Wireguard tunnel to your own Digital Ocean or Linode VPS, where you can then control things like your IP ranges, port forwarding, etc etc.
I haven't set this up exactly, although I have setup the Wireguard VPN side of it so that all the devices on a specific VLAN would appear in another location so I could stream a blacked out baseball game :). I think you could use WAN load balancing + a Wireguard tunnel if you wanted to achieve a similar multiplexing setup that Speedify would provide, but I haven't played with that since I only have a single ISP.
I personally use a Qotom PC. Not sure if it fits your exact requirements since you can’t get a PCI card into it, but it does have 4x1Gb ports. Works really well with opnsense.
I probably need to go back and replay to make a more objective opinion, but I remember the feeling of Gen 2 with the day/night cycle, breeding and baby Pokémon, and then when Pokémon Crystal came out with animated sprites during battle. Definitely my favorite.
I’m curious to see how they’ve made the gameplay. I’ve briefly played the first one on 3DS and it really didn’t appeal to me. Felt like it was targeted to someone much younger, but this sequel with all the coffee references and references to the movie feels more like a nod to the movie which did really well with old timer fans.
The only things I can think of are
- You are misremembering something. Maybe it was a different Pokémon you saw, or you battled someone with it (although I looked and didn’t see any trainer in Leaf Green with a Murkrow...) Or you played someone’s Fire Red and conflated the two.
- Non-genuine cart with a hacked ROM has exclusives from Fire Red added.
- An unknown/undocumented glitch caused you to encounter it.
The latter two seem unlikely and the first one seems most plausible to me. I don’t mean any offense and I’m not trying to call you out. Just feels like the most likely explanation.
The games don’t forget which version they are so that can’t be it. It’s not a single ROM that gets marked as red or green, each game is compiled and built to be what it is on the cart.
Other than that I really can’t think of what it could be. I agree, searching around online I haven’t found anyone or any glitches to explain that happening. Weird!
It wouldn’t be too bad if you could grind/hunt like a regular mon, but the delay in trying to connect to online raids and playing over the internet makes this practically impossible.
They did this with the the Spyro trilogy remake. The cart contains only the first game and you have to download the others. Kind of defeats the purpose of buying physical.
I’ve been with them for 12 years, so far so good. I was a little bummed out they discontinued their annual discount. They’ve been rebranding as Akamai Cloud in more and more places but I haven’t noticed any service impacts.
It’s not about education at this point, it’s about regulation. Without mandates and penalties there is zero incentive to change for the large corporate polluters.
