    I've been using Starlink as my primary internet provider for the past year. I'm just outside of Eugene, OR and prior to Starlink my only internet options were Viasat or dial-up. I …

    For about $50 US, you can get a 10Gbase-T SFP+ module that gives you a copper port at 10gig within a SFP+ form factor. That, coupled with a cheap Mikrotik switch, is plenty to get …

    A domain name that I am interested in is currently being squatted on by a ad-laded splash page. It's set to expire next month. I've been reading up a lot on NameJet, SnapNames, and…
