At times we called it "Workplace entry fee" or "got your papers" sort of stuff when i was in college. We all knew that in the end it didn't really matter much, but it was just part of the game.

( tho i did learn a bit, not as much as some as i was also doing after hours tutoring for some of my classmates, but i wont say it was totally worthless for me )

Heck, when I walked out of college it turned out my degree was only one piece required for jobs. MOAR was needed. Which is fun because after you undergo an official course you learn nothing, you are just paying to get a paper.

Fun part is nobody here uses cast iron anymore. In fact I don't think

cast iron was ever popular outside of certain niches - industrial
workers doing long shifts out of home used big iron pots for the
working crew. For fireplace cooking, the traditional thing to use was

ceramic and stoneware.

I use mine all the time. In the US cast iron is popular among people who really know how to cook and can appreciate its qualities.

Normies stick with their stainless steel.

I think it's time to change my connectivity. Working on it now.

www.citadel.org (and related sites such as search.citadel.org, code.citadel.org, etc) have been running great on the new connectivity for about a week now.

dev.citadel.org moved yesterday.   I'm going to let it run for a few days before I attempt to move uncensored.citadel.org

As I mentioned earlier, I was reluctant to move away from Ace Innovative's static IP VPN solution, because they've always been good to me and I had some loyalty.  But the sudden removal of IPv6 without an explanation was a pretty bad development.  And tonight -- I finally found out the real problem: they've moved their whole damn operation into AWS.  And they didn't bother to plumb IPv6 into the cloud.

So I'll be leaving Ace without regrets.  It's been great but now it's time to move on.   uncensored.citadel.org will soon have blazing fast connectivity.

Perhaps the cost? Or that managing it in AWS is a nightmare?

Or, they are just lazy.   lol.

Whatever it is, the message is clear: they no longer care enough about this service to do it right. And as a matter of principle I refuse to have any of my web properties running through AWS. We're all about principled sovereignty here.

The new connectivity is working out really well so far. I'll probably move Uncensored during the Christmas break because there will probably be some email hiccups during the cutover and I can't afford to be without reliable email this week or next week.
