That would be several thousand bucks a month, but there are numerous companies in the city that would run the fiber to your house. I had 50/50 and was paying $300 with a company called fibernet, but I dropped that in favor of a 300/20 + a 100/10 backup/load balanced at my house in the city.

Excellent, I have 300 MBPS/20 MBPS fiber at my house near the capital San Jose, and at our beach place (Jaco Beach) I have cable internet which is 200 MBPS/10 MBPS. Both cost about $90 a month cabletica.com tigo.cr kolbi.cr are the three main ones but there are tons of options and starlink will be available in early 2022.

xmichael99 | 5 years ago | on: I bought 200 Raspberry Pi Model B’s and I’m going to fix them

so dumb...

"I’m sorry to disappoint but I won’t be building a cluster or decorating my walls with them! In fact I don’t have a project planned for these instead they will be sold on starting at £4 for a “Model A” and up to £9 for a fully boxed un-repaired Model B. I’m not doing this to make a quick buck I’m doing it for the blog content and the experience and to hopefully provide you guys with some very cheap Raspberry Pi’s for your projects!"

I checked out the project on github, and I was a little surprised to see no mention of jsmpeg.com as over on that project the number one question and issue is the lack of a quality web socket server. Long story short, anyone try this or think it would fit with jsmpeg?

Apparently it's against Amazon's API terms to compare with other sites. I recall years ago the guy who runs the site explained that he is only ok to compare Amazon with Amazon.

I read your comment twice trying to fully understand your perspective. I've been working in C# off an on now for about 10 years and as a guy who "grew up" on version 2, I mostly use the core features, but wow do I love some of the new features. The introduction of Tuples in 7 changed the way I program so dramatically in a positive way - every has their own style for me Tuples as per my example allow me to return a code + the data. I welcome the improvements and think MS is doing an amazing job.

xmichael99 | 8 years ago | on: OVH CEO: Unlike Amazon, Google, “we will never be in competition with you”

OVH won't do anything even slightly advanced, no BGP support, no firewall beyond the very basic stuff and everything about OVH is super confusing. It is like they got together and decided to make up nonconventional names to common network terms to piss everyone off. OVH is pretty cheap, but very basic. Plus good luck trying to understand an overage bill.
