There are many who use VPN's, both public and nonpublic. TPU admins are not in the habit of banning VPN users as they have to drop the ban hammer a lot. You'll be fine.

But I mean if my IP address is flip flopping from different locations alot. I can access TPU just fine without the VPN but if I'm on my laptop. I just leave it on.

While I can't speak for W1z and the other TPU staff, on my site I rarely even notice if a users IP is jumping around, unless there's a problem. As an admin, I don't care at all unless the situation requires a look. I'm guessing they feel the same.
I had a nice couple of days off. Now, it's off to bed so I can start my work week again. Good Night TPU!
Feeling a bit excited because our area might be getting SNOW early next week!! Even though I'm from California (where the Sierras are located) I've never actually experienced a snow event before...So I'm getting kinda giddy hehe
OK so, typical winter Wednesday. Slept in, sat around, watched some YT, ate a frozen pizza and did nothing productive, except relax and stay warm. Now, I am doing to bed. Tomorrow, off to the diner with my book.
Good Night TPU. :lovetpu: :sleep:
Took a Lyft home. Got home, no keys. Called work, yep I left them in the office. Took a lyft back to work. Got my keys. Took a lyft home. All told, with Tips, $68. Kind of an expensive ride home. On the other hand, I could have easily spent as much in the bar.

I normally do a pat down also, and I did do one but, went of the plan a bit running to the bathroom and back. Left my keys in the door to my office, coming back to pick up my hat, that I had left in there...walked away. :rolleyes: I did this once before, when I was working a ton of overtime and no sleep. Hopefully I have learned my lesson, AGAIN!!! LOL

More power to you. Keep up the good work.
Heading off to work, got a shift in Control. So, I'm bringing a book and some extra snacks to make it through 8 hours in one room. Should be ok, especially since the new trainee won't be in there, she trained today on 1st shift. She and I don't get along all that great, especially stuck in a room together. I'm me and she has an issue with it, she'll get over it, in time.:roll:
I guess Bitwit has to switch to "Fixer Upper" content. :twitch: Not much left to fix, though.

The man can't catch a break.
new solar system is being installed on Monday, i think 8 or 10 panels i cannot remember which cus im terrible at taking info in i need more ram.
Yesterday, Thurs. I managed to make it to the Diner. I think it has been 2 weeks since I felt well enough to do that. Started a new book, Metro 2033. It's the story that inspired the Cyber Punk video games. So far so good, I took a picture of the map, inside the cover. I spent some time studying it, to make some sense of the story.

Now, when they mention a different "Station" I have an idea of where they are talking about (or I can find it on my phone by enlarging the picture I took). Anyway, it appears to be a story with a lot of twists and characters, and that is just the first few chapters!
Man GPU's are drying up on the used market. Finding a GPU to replace this 2080S is taking ages!
