Sure but it's not the only descrimination my friend who is also 50 faced.

She's been working in tech companies for long and it's sad that some 20 somethings call her MILF when she's not around.

Age descrimination is a very small thing in the grand scheme of things, so she said she doesn't feel much descriminated as age is a proxy for experience if you are good with what you do.

I wonder why they don't use syncthing.

Can't we modify syncthing so that it becomes like a low latency shared filesystem and uses bitttorent as an underlying protocol.

Or is the bitorrent not fit for making a shared/distributed file system?

I think this is a bad move.

There is already:

SourceTree

SourceView

SourceForge

TheSource

SourceCode

SourceDaddy

OutSource

By adding more "Source", you are just diluting value of source brand.

It will be interesting to see how many more "Source" untill we stop using Source at all?

Same is the thing with "Git" and Docker escaped this issue by prohibiting use of "Docker" in non docker owned companies.

Please enlighten me.

Which one is worth buying iPhone X or iPhone XS Vs iPhone 8?

After getting my TPlink router bricked and not having soldering skills for Serial UART. I got fed up and built my own router which never gets bricked:

I bought Orange Pi3 (38 USD) from AliExpress.

Orange Pi 3 H6 2GB LPDDR3 8GB EMMC Flash Gigabyte Ethernet Port AP6256 WIFI BT5.0 4*USB3.0 Support Android 7.0, Ubuntu, Debian https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bfPcZFXS

It has Gigabyte ethernet Port and USB3 capable of delivering 5gbps. (Superspeed Mode)

And I bought 1300mbps WiFi dongle (15 USD) from AliExpress:

CF-WU782AC USB 3.0 1300Mbps Network Card Wireless WiFi Adapter+Dual Antenna High Speed 5Gbps Net card https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/cGawgQRQ

I used this to build a router. Setup Hostapd + dnsmasq

Alternatively run Pihole and your custom iptable rules

I get around 900Mbps (5Ghz AC network) on WiFi to all my rooms.

Build your own router!

Why do you guys still buy overpriced routers? What advantage do you've over my custom built one?
