well, in Poland there's UPC Polska, but they:
a) practice scenic routing
b) put your IPv4 behind CGNAT (DualStack-Lite) unless you ask them to switch you to IPv4
c) aren't every reliable

@hufman @Zergling_man
yeah lol :D

but what do you call it, when packets from your flat in Warsaw goe on a trip to Berlin and Frankfurt before arriving at a university in Warsaw, 15min of walk down the street from your place?

@Suiseiseki ok, then recommend an ISP in Poland that provides IPv6 and good routing, and a cheap basement within that ISP's range

I'm looking for a VPS with a lot of IPv6 (at least /64, ideally /56 or /48), good routing to Poland, and enough CPU to run chacha20 at 100Mbit/s.

Is there any provider you'd recommend?

@lanodan @leo @domi
hmm yeah it'd need to come with an SLA

@domi @leo
a bit of a tangent:

If you had the choice to:
- make ISPs required by law to let you bring your own modem / media-converter,
or
- make ISPs required by law to provide you an ethernet port bridged to whatever they're using for L2, that you can connect your own router to

which would you prefer?

> horrifying spaghetti that you can't find anything wrong with

that reminds me of @cjd

@quad hmm Bergen is where submarine cables connect?

I hope the problems aren't due to some asshole "accidentally" dragging an anchor across the sea bed...

@cjd are there ETFs that aggregate things like steel, agricultural tractors, and 155mm ammo?

@cjd so yeah, as I thought before - sticking to inflation-indexed bonds and not getting into stonks until a global financial crisis hits

@cjd
> to avoid bubbles, I will buy bitcoin

Sorry, but no.

Anyway, if Poland can't hold its promise on 10-year retail bonds then that probably means my home town is getting overran by RUS soldiers and I have bigger problems.

@cjd
5. Insurers get to make a fuckton of money
6. Having children is even more expensive, fertility rate plummets

@cjd hmm ok

Still, the insurance would be socializing the costs of crime, just this time it'd be risk-weighted.

That means risky activities that you nevertheless want to encourage (eg. having children) will be economically disincentivized

@cjd without the next generation, any pensions are doomed. Fewer working people -> fewer goods produced -> same money chasing more goods -> inflation

And inflation is basically tax on savings

@cjd what if government is *not* spending money on the eldery, but the eldery have a fuckton of savings that they weren't spending for decades and now want to spend it all?

@cjd not if you print more money and let inflation eat the existing one

@cjd
by "destroy X market" do you mean make it so cheap it can't be used to hold savings, or make it so expensive nobody can buy?

@cjd I can't fuckin wait.
AI bubble burst 2028 let's gooo!

@nadia so you'll need to count how many USB endpoint each device has and make sure the sum of them doesn't exceed the controller's limit.

Most normal devices have like 2-3 endpoints each, but Android phones have like 10-15.

@nadia
Not a hub recommendation, sorry if unhelpful, but:

if you don't want Weird USB Shenaningans, you might need multiple USB host controllers.
Because there are some ID limits that are per-controller and no amount of hubs can increase that pool.

There are PCIe cards thay have like 4 USB-A ports, each on its own controller.
