So more of a "cattle" than "pet" approach in general?

This is my favourite comment. I laughed out loud. Thank you.

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

This is one of those things I didn't know I needed. I have so many usb sticks lying around with various troubleshooting isos. This is a game changer.

Thank you that was really informative. I paid <$50 for my IP address in 2015. My ISP has been around since 1990 so I suppose they may have been one of the lucky companies. Not sure if they do RPKI, first I'm learning of it. Maybe they're cross subsidizing from other areas of the business. Their monthly fibre fee isn't the most competitive but the service is reliable and haven't had anything to complain about.

They are a little behind in speeds though. They only offer 900mbps asymmetrical max, while you can get 2, 4 and 8gbit in my area from other providers. I don't need that kind of speed so I'm happy for now.

Why do some ISPs charge a monthly fee and others a one off fee? I paid one off with my ISP several years ago for my static IPv4.

If they want to transcode they'll need a dedicated GPU in that instance because they'll lose QuickSync.

But then don't you end up having to subscribe two or more different providers? Or is there a particular monthly provider that has incredible availability? I have block accounts with three different providers.

Why do most people seem to go with subscription accounts? I've used block accounts for a few years and only have to buy more every 1-2 years. Is there some kind of benefit I'm missing?

Yeah I always coveted one but couldn't justify the cost over second hand dell or lenovo SFF PCs.

How important is it to have something like coreboot for your firmware/BIOS on your router? I run pfsense on a mini PC router from aliexpress that has an Intel n100 cpu in it, so I guess the bios is intel as well. I self host a few things on an unraid machine, some apps are exposed to the internet through cloudflare tunnels.

There is some British stuff on Usenet (e.g. nzbGeek) but yeah in general I have concluded that British TV doesn't have broad appeal and so it is hard to find even if willing to purchase.

You could also try using a VPN with the BBC iPlayer app. I've done this before.

There is also the acorn TV app which is a paid streaming service, $8 a month, and probably the best option if you're really into regularly watching British TV as there isn't really a great alternative option.
