It’s not uncommon for a single web page to use 5-10MB. Shopping and social media sites are the some of the worst since they have lots of javascript libraries and pictures. It’s not hard to use a couple GB in a day without streaming anything.

Modern websites are excessively bloated. That data goes fast.

I wouldn’t suggest relying on Google for anything. killedbygoogle.com
Search and Gmail are probably about the only thing they won’t kill. - Comment on Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance? 3 days ago:
Just remember that you will be required to remove any illegal content that people post. I certainly wouldn’t want to be responsible for that.
- Comment on The Most Printable 3D Printer Yet 3 days ago:
Punch cards have been around for over 200 years. No electronics are needed to punch them. Some very complex patterns were created with the Jacquard loom without any computers. It just takes a massive amount of work to create the cards.

I just check it every hour or two and stop drying when it stops getting lighter. I usually see an 8-10g drop after drying a new 1kg spool of PETG.

- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 1 week ago:
You would have to specifically open a port in your firewall before anyone could access a device over IPv6 on your network from the internet. Just like you would have to forward a port on IPv4.

- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 1 week ago:
That doesn’t support data yet. Data will probably cost a fortune when they enable it. I doubt anyone will be willing to pay that much to serve ads. If they do, then the antenna will be replaced with a dummy load.

- Comment on ISPs and robocallers love the FCC plan to “delete” as many rules as possible 1 week ago:
I noticed a huge increase in spam calls back around September and they haven’t let up since. I had to set my phone to reject calls that aren’t in my contacts. If someone needs to contact me, they will have to text or leave a voicemail.

The lack of an FM radio and headphone jack make it unusable for me.

I usually use butyl tape to seal my coax connections. It’s a bit of a pain to remove, but mineral spirits cleans off the residue fairly well.

Water will find it’s way in even if you try to seal it. Just put some anti seize on the threads.

I wish they would just get rid of shorts all together. Vertical video shouldn’t exist.

Put a multi port NIC in your router PC and use a separate unmanaged switch for each network then.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 2 weeks ago:
I would just get a basic layer 2 managed switch and use VLANs. The 5 port and 8 port switches are super cheap these days.
