I'm not sure exactly what sub to ask this in.

i want to gut a station wagon, do some general handling and safety improvements.

I love the geometric designs of the 80/90 saabs, fox body, bmws, skylines, etc of those era. I refuse to buy a dodge.

However, I want to base my choice off of what would be a realistic starting point for a supercharger based engine. i4/i6/v6/v8 are all fine options.

Is there any solid option for this? or would I be better off just paying some performance folks to either do a crate motor swap or bolt a supercharger on.

Happy to give further refinement details. Thanks in advance.

12 years ago, I explained Bitcoin was a solid choice for stress testing hardware. Too bad not many believed.

I have been around BTC since the first $30 moon on 2012.

I still dabble in the game, and never became rich. Did buy a cheap condo with it and still refuse to sell my 2009 Buehl XB12R I paid a handsome 1 BTC for (at the conversion of $3300.)

Always set aside some income for the future and investment. You can do better than I did.

tl;dr: Anyone have contact or direction to take based on title?

Good day everyone, thanks in advance.

I have been procuring merchandise from Japan for a solid 5 years at this point. I've used almost the exact same delivery method each time. I've had packages get lost in customs in the past. Usually it's one or two here, I chalk it up to doing business, and continue.

However the last month, from a fee recent orders, I have 60 boxes (about 30" cubed, they are not small) get "lost" in customs. They have been stuck there for about 10 days. At the 10 day mark, they are "lost" in my experience 99% of the time.

There is a whole box truck worth of packages... Just hiding? Surely someone there

Screw your USB-C cables. Screw efficient charging. Screw all those battery banks with cables and non-wireless charging. Screw being able to physically backup your device.

All to give the EU a big middle minger because the EU sanely asked all phones to use the same style cable?

Ridiculous. So much ewaste, all for pride.

I simply can not see any logical move for this. It's the same as the headphone jack. Something which, due to entire shifts in the industry, I still have a daily use for and have to deal with dongles on many phones to use

Primary Problem:

What tools help with migrating phone data and ensuring everything transfers?

Here are the immediate issues I have:

* Digital wallet doesn't transfer. All those credit cards are miraculously stored in google fill for desktop browser.

* Most of my apps were missing. To the point I wiped my 9p, and redid the transfer process. It was still missing about 100 apps. Google Play store used to have a nifty list of all previously installed apps, but the current UI they use is clumsy at best.

* The migration tool specifically says it won't transfer files. (There was a list of locations; I'm still baffled as to why.)

* Google Autofill, despite every setting I can find, only

Edit: UPDATE: I won't be able to ship anything else until 4/13. All orders placed to now will be in the mailbox today.

I've been hoarding parts for too many years. It's time for a massive de-stash. All parts either came out of active servers that idled because I didn't have enough time to push projects to them, or have sat since I've purchased them. I like to take care of my equipment, and toss bad/flakey parts when I notice. This is only about 1/2 of what I'd like to sell. Expect updates!

Few points of interest:

  • I will ship Domestic and Internationally. Shipping is on buyer, I only ship with insurance/tracking.
  • I'll hand deliver larger orders to anywhere in the mdwest. I

My current server is in a DC, running pfsense on a gig line. I'm looking for suggestions on something to run at home that isn't pfSense (Looking to try new gear!) I can always fall back to using my pfSense on my hp t620plus which is currently doing the job.

Requirements:

  • Connection: 400mb/s down, 20mb/s up
  • quiet, not necessarily silent.
  • IPSEC capable, and would like to max out the connection.
  • Form Factor isn't really important.
  • Not crazy expensive, maybe try to keep it under ~$200 used.

Options?

  • Mikrotik?

  • Ubiquiti?

  • Peplink?

  • ???

  • The Mikrotik HEX S is $70 and supposedly does 470mb/s ipsec. Just need to wait for it to become available. [https://mikrotik.com/produ
