So I work for a smaller regional ISP in the Midwest. I can definitively say every single notice we have ever received about any IP addresses on our network causing a problem has always been a compromised legitimate device on a user’s network. Most of the time it’s somebody installing a shady app on their smart TV/streaming stick.

That’s totally fair!

I appreciate you taking the time to be so thorough with everything here!

My guess is a lot of that rule was created to cut down on the “is this a good server?” Questions. Which I could see becoming a problem.

Maybe a rule specifically calling that out and a weekly “Hardware guidance” post that people can comment and ask those kinds of questions?

Also happy to help. I’ve modded on Reddit a few times and agree with light touch to avoid all the dramatic junk.

Not sure when Croatia switched to digital, but I think the year they found her was around the time the US had only just switched to digital.

So everyone else has good points but there's one other part I don't think was mentioned.

Most ISPs use a PON based network. This lets them connect one fiber in their network and "split" that to up to 128 (or more, depends on the OEM) customers. You need a either GPON (Gigabit passive optical network) or XGS-PON (10 gigabit symmetrical passive optical network) SFP module and usually the ISP has to get a serial number off of that module to provision the proper data service.

This is contingent upon the ISP being willing to do that. The one I currently work for, we really don't do that except for businesses.

Lived in Kansas my whole life. Can confirm I grew up with and now own more lawn chairs than people that live in my house (gotta have extra for guests).

I do however enjoy hiking, I just have to leave the state to make it "hiking" and not a "long walk."

I still see it.

That's assuming IF there ever was a push to build things like this to help homeless they WOULDNT find a way to make it look as inhumane as possible.

For what it's worth.... I can't find the source, but I saw specifically that staff said that was not true.

What about a WiFi connected smart outlet? It can be voice controlled or controlled from a phone or turned on at the outlet. You can set just a "run timer" (from the time I turn it on, run 2.5 hours) without it repeating.

AND if you need to make sure it's off at any point, just check your phone.

TP Link Kasa outlets can run for 23 hours and 59 minutes at a time.

Nothing says professional like a Gmail account.

Also, try harder to look legit next time. Your title says $280,000 and then in the post, you got back $65,000.

For anyone else seeing this post.... If you have to pay money to get your money back.... they're using the fact you were gullible enough to be scammed to scam you again.
