Also glad I run wireguard for my homelab.

Fortunately for my work connection, I work at the ISP I get my internet service from, so they just pipe my work VLAN to a port on my ONT and I don't need a VPN.

Usenet is definitely really good if you are using something like sonarr to autograb the newest stuff coming out. But if you are looking at old content, Usenet might be missing stuff, whereas BTN has a very extensive archive.

Where I lived in Maryland, I had Xfinity and FiOS coverage at my house. Probably the reason prices were so reasonable.

Agreed. Patience is key. One thing I remember about the digg migration and the telltale sign that digg was dead is when you went to it and digg was just full of links to reddit.

I think we need to do the same thing. Originate the content on lemmy, and xpost it on Reddit.

Things will slowly grow if we all stick with Lemmy though. It's really just a matter of time until it reaches a critical mass.

Sounds like we need to comment more to me. Great work all around!
