Everybody talks about BGP and assumes it’s as easy as just simply routing out the internet gateway. This is what most ISPs and Cloud providers do is just advertise their paths.

I really do need to ask this question. I appreciate my followers and yes, they’re a loyal bunch. I do need to EVERYBODY one question and everyone on the Internet. We all go about our lives. We see the homeless person at the exit ramp, on the sidewalk, etc. Granted a lot of them are…

I guess this is a call out for help

Encoding Video Files for Free While Leveraging the Newest Tech including GPUs.
I encode plenty of files. The files include family photos to files for work presentations and of course, web work. Leveraging a GPU (Graphics Card) can significantly decrease decode time. The only problem is that all of the GPU assisted applications cost money! or do they? Well.. I use two applications exclusively. One is free,…
