I'm using it all the time :)
Most of the "professional" features are there, you have tons of filters and exporting is really easy although I usually export to qp 0 h264 and then encode it myself using ffmpeg/x264.
It seems that it is using the same libraries though so I might be able to do it from within now too.

Anyway.. I'm never paying for another video editor as long as Kdenlive is maintained.

Got to love competition mandated by law.

In my area, 15 minutes from the closest city which has about 60.000 inhabitants, I have about 20 providers competing on fiber, cable and copper. You can also toss in a few 4g providers that sell broadband you can carry around.
I settled for fiber 100/100 with tv and phone for $100 a month. It's not the cheapest, but I'm hooked on the speed :)
They also provide ipv6 and "bridge mode routers" with a fixed ipv4 address for my own router and a /62 ipv6 prefix.

We used to have a public telephone company called Telenor, but after it became private it came with the catch that all competitors can buy capacity from them at cost + investment write-offs. It's been working wonders.

Comment Already on IPv6 (Score 2) 574

My fiber ISP provides 6rd connectivity with a /62 prefix address space, and will bump it to /54 when they implement dual-stack on all systems.
There are still legacy routers on the system apparently.

However tomato on my rt-n66u handles the 6rd just fine.

A lot of systems are on ipv6 already, and I think I have around 50/50 ipv6 and ipv4 traffic now. There is no real difference in use for a regular user. Even all the phones, tables and the chromecast use it without me having to do anything except connecting the router.

I still have a regular fixed ip for ipv4, but all my devices are behind nat.

We have standard european 230V grid.
I've never had issues with anything using an european plug.
My guess is the cold. It's been bad lately.

Another thing is the number of teslas here. I see them _everywhere_.
With my Toyota I had to pay $25000 as a one time tax, yearly taxes, road tolls, gas at $9/gallon.

The tesla and other electrics are completely tax free. Not even VAT. No yearly taxes. You pass for free in the toll roads, and electricity is about 16 cents/kWh.
I could also drive past the traffic in the bus lanes and save one hr compared to driving, 30 mins compared to bus/train.

I'm seriously considering selling the toyota and getting a tesla, or buying a leaf as a 2nd car.
