[01:12]<Quantos> Have fun, feel free to take him for a walk
[01:12]<Quantos> He doesn't gett out that much
[01:12]<guest_69> hah
[01:12]<guest_69> is he chained up?
[01:13]<Quantos> No, we just don't take him anywhere with us
[01:13]<guest_69> ah
[01:13]<guest_69> where's alma hiding?
[01:13]<Quantos> You know I won't answer that
[01:13]<guest_69> psh
[01:14]<Quantos> It's the same if someone's looking for you
[01:14]<guest_69> aw
[01:14]<guest_69> thanks
[01:14]<Quantos> Oh
[01:14]<Quantos> By the way
[01:14]<guest_69> hm?
[01:14]<Quantos> have you seen the size of an RTX 2080?
[01:14]<guest_69> the full size? yeah
[01:14]<Quantos> Do you know how big that laptop would have to be?
[01:14]<guest_69> ya >>
[01:14]<guest_69> i just watched a teardown video
[01:15]<Quantos> My 2070 is huge
[01:15]<guest_69> yeah it can't be the full 2080
[01:15]<Quantos> I bet the 2080 is a bit bigger
[01:15]<guest_69> yeah
[01:15]<Quantos> The chip itself is pretty big I understand
[01:15]<guest_69> strangely it says the area 51 m desktop has desktop cpu i9
[01:15]<Quantos> Might have a desktop i9
[01:15]<guest_69> and everything is upgrade-able including the gpu in their laptop
[01:16]<guest_69> yeah i think that's all it has
[01:16]<Quantos> Not very battery efficient though
[01:16]<guest_69> ya :(
[01:16]<guest_69> and like patio said...we'll see if it actuallyyyy comes out
[01:16]<guest_69> thats a good point
[01:16]<Quantos> Oh, yeah
[01:16]<guest_69> i got a cute VPN
[01:16]<Quantos> Oh?
[01:17]<Quantos> Which one?
[01:17]<guest_69> hide my ass vpn
[01:17]<guest_69> lol
[01:17]<guest_69> it sounded cute
[01:17]<Quantos> If it's free don't trust it
[01:17]<guest_69> its $7 / month
[01:17]<guest_69> for 12 months
[01:17]<Quantos> Hmmm
[01:17]<Quantos> Sounds on the low side
[01:17]<guest_69> https://www.hidemyass.com/en-us/index
[01:18]<guest_69> its on sale
[01:18]<Quantos> What does it do to your bandwidth?
[01:18]<Quantos> Probably half eh?
[01:18]<guest_69> haven't had any limitations
[01:18]<Quantos> Are you running it now?
[01:18]<guest_69> not at the moment
[01:19]<Quantos> Fire it up and check your internet http://www.speedtest.net/
[01:19]<guest_69> on the craigslist laptop at a coffee shop
[01:19]<Quantos> Oh
[01:19]<guest_69> ill give it a try at home though and let you know
[01:19]<Quantos> Well, that's where you should be using a VPN
[01:19]<guest_69> not doing anything really
[01:19]<guest_69> just drinking coffee, browsing youtube
[01:19]<Quantos> Don't log onto open networks without some security
[01:20]<guest_69> is it considered open if there's a security key?
[01:20]<Quantos> Considering anyone can get the key for the price of coffee
[01:20]<Quantos> I'd say it's pretty open
[01:20]<guest_69> thats true
[01:20]<guest_69> lol
[01:20]<guest_69> welp good idea
[01:21]<Quantos> Now's the perfect time to test it
[01:21]<guest_69> this laptops a blank slate right now though
[01:21]<guest_69> i guess but its not my home network ;o
[01:21]<Quantos> Yes, but it won't be
[01:21]<Quantos> Get in the habit of good security early
[01:21]<guest_69> true
[01:21]<guest_69> okay lets fireup speedtest.
[01:21]<Quantos> In my opinion VPN's are nothing more than a glorified proxy
[01:22]<Quantos> But every little bit helps I guess
[01:22]<Quantos> Yeah, test the speed without the VPN first
[01:22]<Quantos> Good idea
[01:22]<guest_69> yeah
[01:23]<guest_69> had a friend help me setup some security at home...
[01:23]<Quantos> Oh?
[01:24]<guest_69> was kinda interesting, but all i understood is he setup an additional router as a firewall and blocked udp?...
[01:24]<guest_69> got a couple things too...ccleaner?
[01:24]<guest_69> and something else
[01:24]<Quantos> ccleaner isn't useful for security
[01:24]<guest_69> yeah it wasnt for security
[01:24]<Quantos> I guess if you want to flush your cache
[01:25]<guest_69> bitdefender for security
[01:25]<Quantos> Two routers is kind of silly, all that is is two firewalls with the same ports open
[01:25]<guest_69> not sure what he meant by setting one up as additional security -shrug- but now its sitting on my floor because no space on the shelf
[01:25]<Quantos> Unless he set up some redirection on the ports maybe
[01:26]<guest_69> im gna run this speedtest again thats weird
[01:26]<Quantos> Okay
[01:26]<guest_69> download 238mbps upload 188
[01:26]<guest_69> but after...
[01:26]<Quantos> Heck you can run your own dedicated firewall and VPN if you have a spare desktop kicking around
[01:26]<guest_69> 94 and 24
[01:27]<guest_69> i have a few spare laptops and desktops
[01:27]<Quantos> Yeah, that's a significant drop
[01:27]<guest_69> yeah...
[01:27]<Quantos> Look up PFSense
[01:27]<Quantos> It's what I'm running my firewall on
[01:28]<Quantos> It's pretty easy to install and setup
[01:28]<guest_69> which one?
[01:28]<Quantos> PFSense
[01:28]<guest_69> which product though
[01:28]<guest_69> https://www.pfsense.org/products/
[01:28]<Quantos> Oh, none of those
[01:28]<Quantos> Just the OS
[01:29]<guest_69> ohh
[01:29]<Quantos> I have two blade servers that a friend gave me
[01:29]<guest_69> that's handy
[01:29]<Quantos> But you can run it on a desktop
[01:29]<Quantos> I'd suggest a quad core and two NIC's
[01:29]<guest_69> hm
[01:30]<guest_69> what about my old laptop? no?
[01:30]<guest_69> lol
[01:30]<Quantos> Doesn't seem to take much in resources
[01:30]<Quantos> Sure, why not
[01:30]<guest_69> i sold my old monitors, but i kept two desktops
[01:30]<Quantos> It doesn't hurt to try
[01:30]<guest_69> weird...so i did speedtest again
[01:30]<Quantos> Yeap
[01:30]<guest_69> 244 / 246
[01:30]<guest_69> to 90 / 24
[01:31]<Quantos> It's strange that their upstream is equal to the downstream
[01:31]<guest_69> thats without
[01:31]<Quantos> Yeah
[01:31]<guest_69> lets see..try again..
[01:33]<guest_69> run 1) ping 4 , jitter .47, loss -%, 189dl, 241up
[01:33]<guest_69> run 2) ping 3, jitter .29, loss -%, 221 dl, 253 up
[01:35]<guest_69> now with...run 1) ping 10, 93dl, 24up....run 2) ping 11, 94dl, 24up
[01:35]<guest_69> -shrug-
[01:35]<guest_69> well i can cancel any time ><
[01:37]<guest_69> well time to walk home l8r
