Well my new Intel N100 16Gb ram, 250Gb NVME is now online running #OPNsense . I didn't need to do any of the changes that Ben Tasker mentioned it just gave a full on 1GB PPPoE connection. Fingers crossed I have most things set up correctly ? I did notice a bug after updating though. Before I updated the system health graphs showed the correct date and times now it is showing me the 14th and 10PM UK time yet the systems is reporting the correct date and time plus time zone as I'm using NTP. Oh well no doubt it'll get fixed shortly.
[ EDIT - The issue is resolved ]
I just had to reset the RRD in the settings and wait just over a minute and now all the graphs under health are working as expected. 😄
Go to Reporting -> Settings
Click "Reset RRD Data"
Wait over 1 minute

By any measure, a 1 year return of 40% is excellent.
I’ve been seeing a lot of these charts on Mastodon and I think anyone who is posting them is taking a premature victory lap.
Could it be that the Biden tax breaks were inflating the price? That those electric car tax subsidies went right into Elon Musk’s pocket? Were you posting pictures of the price *rising* during the Biden years?
@rob
The two most relevant metrics here, because we are talking about the impact of Musk’s fascist politics on his company, would be:
1. Return since the election
2. Return since inauguration
Go check those.
I feel like these posts are not only dishonest, but they are just plain dumb.
I know so many people who bought Teslas because of the Biden tax breaks. What did you think was going to happen to Tesla’s stock price while they were in force? And after they expired?
Posts like “Tesla is down, yay!” just play into the conservative narrative - especially when you just look at a tiny sliver of data. They don’t care - they made 40+% over the previous year.
@rob For you, Rob:

The memo still hasn’t made it to everyone about the systemic function of the #TeslaTakedown protests. I still keep getting well-meaning quesitons like the one below from @tymwol.The purpose is •not• just to register symbolic discontent. The purpose is •not• just to take individual action that directly harms Musk.
The purpose is to tank demand for Tesla’s product, and thus tank their stock price. This is Musk’s biggest vulnerability, Smaug’s exposed belly.

Timothy Wolodzko (@tymwol@hachyderm.io)
@inthehands yeah, but I don’t think that it hurts Elon if you buy a car from him and destroy it. You paid for it, so it’s yours. It’s like burning your books to protest against Amazon.Hachyderm.io

Question: what were you saying when Biden was shoveling buckets of money to Tesla?

Study shows widespread H5N1 bird flu infection in cattle
Scientists are sounding alarms about a genetic mutation that was recently identified in four dairy cow herds, nearly one year after H5N1 bird flu was first reported in Texas dairy cattle.Susanne Rust (Phys.org)
So I walked around the neighborhood giving out flyers with info about the NIH and how to advocate for our local scientists and diversity in science and this was a very embarrassing thing to do lol but then I met a neighbor who runs a nonprofit that works on STEM education equity!
I fear this is the "community building" everyone is saying to do and it is scary and embarrassing but nice
I'm not exactly sure why @gardiner_bryant praises #Gaming on #Linux - i'm on #KDEneon, and i can't even install plenty of my #Steam library - not even #DeusEx GOTY!
How are people playing #Cyberpunk2077 on the #SteamDeck, when there's no Linux install candidate/greyed out install button?
I might've missed a memo, but until i become aware of it, imma be dual-booting!
(I'm not impressed. 😉)

in reply to Jonathan Matthews • • •My own is a Celeron J4125 based one, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD. It came with pfSense but I put Debian on it instead. Back in November it was £160.
It's running foomuuri to organise the firewall, Asterisk, nginx (forwarding), bind9 (doing the equivalent of a PiHole), OpenVPN and Wireguard, ZNC, fail2ban and of course snac2. It's barely ticking over.
I changed the filesystem to f2fs to better use the SSD.
It improved throughout on the 1Gbps Virgin Cable connection by about 5% on the previous Celeron G1610 box (with dual Realtek gigabit ethernet ports). At some point if OpenReach gets its stuff together, I may be running one interface with PPPoE.
