um. they block it on residential. I am on business and all ports are open (or 
can be made that way from the admin page on my cox business account). I also 
enjoy  a real honest fixed ip here. can't say that for residential.

 well,
 it took a little thinking to come up with the figure they quote for
 monthly usage.

 Consider that a typical 1080p Hi-def video stream is about 750 Kb/sec.
 if left going 24/7 for 30 days, that would be 2.7 GB per hour or about 64
 Gb per day. over the course of a month, that is: 1.944 Tb. now, so far as I
 know, no one leaves their TV on live stream 24/7 for 30 days.

 so, given normal usage patterns (tv watching of about 20 hours per
 week), plus web browsing and email, etc, 1 TB would be max typical for a
 standard residential circuit.

 now, I do have a room mate who falls asleep with the tv streaming some
 content or another, so it's quite possible that we are over 1 TB for the
 last 30 days. Since I am on biz class here, I don't have to worry about
 that 1 TB cap. :)

I am going to have to setup a DMZ on my personal router pointed to a specific 
machine. there I will have to setup the web server, a site (which I will need 
to register) and a few other goodies. nice thing about my router, I can assign 
separate subnet segments to each port. this way, if anyone gets control of the 
web server, about all they can see is that subnet (and the administrative 
interface for the router will definitely be locked out on that port, so no 
control there either).

my only questiild, IT support Dept.
on, what to use as a web server (I am also looking at putting an SDR on there 
for remote hf/vhf/uhf/shf reception). I was thinking a raspberry pie late 
generation.

Re: Cox Gigablast

[Eric Oyen]

well,
it took a little thinking to come up with the figure they quote for monthly 
usage.

Consider that a typical 1080p Hi-def video stream is about 750 Kb/sec. if left 
going 24/7 for 30 days, that would be 2.7 GB per hour or about 64 Gb per day. 
over the course of a month, that is: 1.944 Tb. now, so far as I know, no one 
leaves their TV on live stream 24/7 for 30 days.

so, given normal usage patterns (tv watching of about 20 hours per week), plus 
web browsing and email, etc, 1 TB would be max typical for a standard 
residential circuit.

now, I do have a room mate who falls asleep with the tv streaming some content 
or another, so it's quite possible that we are over 1 TB for the last 30 days. 
Since I am on biz class here, I don't have to worry about that 1 TB cap. :)

You can run KDE applications even if your desktop environment is GNOME, 
or if you're running xfce (or twm).  The first KDE application you start 
may create some support processes that only KDE applications use.

If you had it prior to late Sept, then you continue to get the unlimited

btw, I am on cox business premier service. it's 50 mbits/11 mbits for only
$79 monthly. I also use chrome cast here from youtube tv for about $35 a
month. so, I am definitely spending over $140 less than I would be for
residential service (including tv).

hope this helps.

Re: Cox Gigablast

[Eric Oyen]

heh.
you know what's funny? if I had the storage (about 200 TB), I could effectively 
download about 100 TB for a month on my circuit and not run into overages. 
that's the nice thing about business class service: no caps. However, if I were 
to do that, cox would call me up and ask if I am sharing my connection. :)

btw, that 100 Tb for a month is a calculated figure based on my current service 
level and assumes max bandwidth for the download (which in the real world 
doesn't happen). Still, it made for an interesting math problem. :)

Re: Looking for video editing software

[Brian Cluff]

The 2.4.1 version of Openshot is actually a complete rewrite of using 
totally different technologies (libopenshot instead of the MeLT 
framework), so in a lot of ways it's a lot less mature than the "older" 
version 1.3.


You were probably better off with the latest of the first generation of 
OpenShot.


Try Kdenlive, the 9.6 version in Trusty wasn't terrible, and it was 
definitely already the most capable editor back then.  It probably won't 
crash with what you want to do with it, but even if it does it's got a 
very good emergency save mechanism that will allow you to pick and 
continue where you left off... just make sure that you have it saved at 
least once.  I usually create a new project and immediately save it 
where I want it to make sure that I get the emergency save functionality 
kicked in.

I run gnome, so I assume kdenlive is not supported?

Simple stuff...jpg as title at the start, fade into first

I tried openshot...crashed twice.

Tried Pitivi-ei-ei-o. The controls from the track headers are
missing and it crashed, too.

Looked at Kino. It does not seem to fit my model for editing.
I am looking for a playback window, some tracks to add my

tutorials? Really don't want to spend months on this project!

They have capped new gigablast subscribers with the 1tb limit unfortunately.
If you had it prior to late Sept, then you continue to get the unlimited data.

let me dig up the sales number for cox business.

I couldn't find the phone number directly, but there is this site here:
https://www.cox.com/business/contact-us/contact-sales.html

I just called them through their residential number. they gave me this
number for direct contact: 800-529-5118 <(800)%20529-5118>


hope this helps.

btw, I am on cox business premier service. it's 50 mbits/11 mbits for only
