If you ever spend any significant time around mid-level managers, VPs, or C-Level executives (or if you are unlucky enough to be one yourself), you see how their entire workday is just slammed full of meetings. Meetings meetings meetings. And boy do they ever love to go to meetings, and talk and pontificate about pointless shit. All day, every day. ...

I read about some executives having a meeting to arrange a meeting.

What I hated most was when some exec guy added me to the meeting participant list because he wanted to ask me something. So I had to attend and sit there for like 40 minutes to answer a single question. Pfff...

It's not all like that. Maybe in the bigger corporations maybe. The smaller ones, we actually do some work, even if there are a lot of meetings. I was at VP level about 5 years ago (in a small company in a 3rd world country), then I decided I wanted to do my own thing. I was the IT Manager type who did all the network cabling too, LOL, and set up a computer semi-manually every week. No real servers. It was that small.

Before I left, I set up a single 24 port switch for them, and I think it died last year. (I'm sure they replaced it with something else, the guys I left there to run the IT dept knew what they were doing.)

Yeah but I'm pretty sure Torque mostly meant huge global corporations for one of those your humble servant used to work as well.  

EDIT: Smaller companies for sure have to do some real work sometimes as they're forced to work in order to survive.

I have a better idea... a meeting... wait no... opsec and stuff...

Also will be looking to set up a low-key private wireless ISP service for the area (will at least have a single Starlink satellite system, in addition to whatever runs we decide to have the local telcos make)

Take a look at unify / ubiquity products. ui.com

I have their UAP-AC-Lite as my own separate wireless access point at home.

You will still want to install hard wire cables on your property, at least CAT6 ethernet (good enough for gigabit speeds or faster).

And fibreglass linked switches everywhere!

Did you mean fiber optic? That may work, you could check out their air fiber things, they allow you to connect one point to another up to 22 miles away (you'd need to set up little towers on both ends). That would be your own backhaul.

But one location can handle a bunch of CAT6 cables just fine.

No no, classic fibre optic cables, just between switches (or floors, buildings, server rooms) to circumvent throughput bottlenecks. IIRC hewlett packard built them too.
I wired some two decades ago, but they were made by some other vendor (cisco, maybe?)...

Maybe a zoom meeting (over tor, LOL).
No, of course not zoom, but something more trustworthy

Well, I could agree but note I'll be wearing a Guy Fawkes mask

Need to have a meeting about that. More seriously I like to have pre-meeting meetings where we hash out all the details. Then meeting goes smoothly and is over in 10m giving us 50 to sleep.

Hey's another fun fact from back then.

In the late 90's I plugged my managed baystack network into my dsl and it propagated verizon to my internal ip scheme.

I was quite amused.

I can imagine
Nortel was quite a big player in the business back then. I wouldn't have remembered that brand myself, though.
I remember being able to play around in the public subnet of my cable provider's modem by re-configuring the thing to work as a bridge.
Security wasn't much of an issue, because only a few people had abilities to handle the technology, and only a few of them was interested into "tweaking" things.
Golden times, indeed.  You also got much more respect as a tech. Not that i expected it, but i just recognized.

That Gamestop run up was put together by a Reddit group.  They set out to wreck all of the shorts that had been set.  They succeeded.

The guy who put it together pulled in $11 million from the run up.

This crazy fucking bastard held onto his stash and is up to $22 million now.

One for the bears - Entity-Adjusted SOPR

I don't know what the entity part means.

Of course all other long-term fundamental indicators are bullish. I thought it interesting all the same.
