Proton VPN has severely limited their free version. The gravy train was always going to come to an end at some point.

I've looked into Windscribe and hide.me for free alternatives. I don't really think either is suitable to get around ESPN+ restrictions. If you just want a VPN to give you another IP, then they're all still fine.

I guess I'll have to pay extra to learn that ESPN+ is the exclusive home of the complete 30 for 30 library.

I use Avast secure Line VPN, I pay the year and is cheap, at least for me and I'm in a poor country and poor economy but don't have problems to watch the games and I use to see more than 90% of Lightning games.

My main use of a VPN is just to get around ESPN+ blackouts. Proton VPN free was perfect for that.

There are only a few weeks left in the season on Bally Sun, so I'm just going month-to-month with VPNs right now.

I could theoretically build my own for like $20/year, but everything feels like such a waste when I only need it for a few minutes a month.

When Paradox starts giving the DLC out, it seems we're getting close to a disappointing sequel announcement. HOI4 has had legs, and stayed one of their most popular games.

They had been posting L's at launch for a while now, but Cities: Skylines 2 appears to have shaken them a bit. The games are eventually improved, but the damage is done.

Is anyone else watching Shogun? It is terrific.

Is anyone else watching Shogun? It is terrific.

I was planning on waiting until the miniseries was finished before I started watching, but it seems relatively safe to start now.

(there are shows that start off with a few good episodes, but fall off)

Just got into Snowfall, quite good!

Happy 19/3 Day

BlackBerry is on Hulu.

It's a fictionalized movie around RIM, who made the BlackBerry phone. The co-CEO was Jim Balsillie, a major character in the movie.

Balsillie tried to buy the Pens, Predators, and Coyotes with the intent of moving them to Hamilton.

That story is going on in the background as a C-plot. Although an actor playing Gary Bettman does appear.

X-Men '97 is pretty good so far (3 episodes).

The showrunner Beau DeMayo got fired shortly before the premier, which wasn't a good sign, but the show works.

Cool seeing the 19/3 still being used! How will the Lightning ever survive paying 19 million to 3 players?

In case you want eclipse spoilers:

Spoiler

The sun will be obscured 57% at the maximum eclipse visible in Florida. The eclipse will begin at 1:45 p.m. and will be peaking at 3:03 p.m. It will end at 4:17 p.m.

I know it takes the fun out of staring at the sun all day for some of us.

Eclipse really picked up in the last few minutes.

 

[Rschmitz]

My students today thought the eclipse happened all over the world at once. Now obviously the other side of the planet is dark so how is that possible? Well apparently according to them on the other side of the planet it’s called a lunar eclipse and the sun passes in front of the moon

May I ask how old your students are?

That would be a HIPPA violation.

I was messing with ChatGPT for some NHL Utah team name ideas.

It occurred to me ChatGPT 3.5 likes to give me a lot of garbage, and that there's a fair amount of overlap between car names and team names.

I told it to give me names for possible future Jeeps.

1. Jeep Wrangler Zenith
2. Jeep Renegade Apex
3. Jeep Gladiator Fury
4. Jeep Cherokee Summit
5. Jeep Compass Horizon
6. Jeep Patriot Trailblazer
7. Jeep Liberty Vanguard
8. Jeep Commander Odyssey
9. Jeep Grand Wagoneer Legacy
10. Jeep Trailhawk Titan
11. Jeep Compass Voyager
12. Jeep Renegade Nomad
13. Jeep Gladiator Titan
14. Jeep Wrangler Sentinel
15. Jeep Patriot Vanguard

We're supposedly pretty close to the next GPT release, whether it's 4.5 or 5.

Assorted facts things about Utah.

Utah has the world's largest living organism.

The Beach Boys have a song about Salt Lake City. I give it a light 6.

Utah has the National Dinosaur Memorial, but despite this, dinosaurs have, so far, been denied the right to vote.
