He replied to a tweet of mine and I still have it bookmarked and screenshotted to this day. My GF didn't understand why I was so excited

Printed and framed, right?

For a while, before TCP/IP really became "the" network protocol, IPX/SPX was also around and a lot of games used it. Red Alert 2, Descent 1 & 2, etc all used IPX/SPX.

Yeah, setting up IPX circa 2010 to play Dungeon Keeper 1 in multiplayer 15 years late was quite the puzzle ! Especially since I didn't have admin access to those computers... at first.

What the hell are you talking about

I wintered over at Palmer Station. Drinking increased heavily during the dark months.

I did the same thing, pulled up my pfSense config in a VM side-by-side with the fresh OPNSense install and manually ported everything over.

Kind of a pain, sure, but I felt better knowing it was a fresh build and everything was where it should be.

I switched to OPNSense (fork of pfSense) years ago and have been very happy with it. Consistent, reliable updates, and easy to understand interface.

One could argue they "earned" the wealth by taking an enormous risk and holding through crazy swings when no one else would. And ended up be rewarded for taking the risk, as they should.

Along comes the people salty they didn't take the risk, and want to steal the money from the people who did take the risk. It's a tale as old as time.

I wintered over in Antarctica in 2016. Drinking definitely increased during the dark months.
