C# is not my primary language but have the misfortune of debugging C#/.Net junk. Seems like an issue with not closing resources properly. Looking at your server code, seems the Close and Dispose methods are not overridden. Try that?

It shocks me to this day that news articles and journalists barely cite their sources. The best I have seen is shitty hyperlinked sources l, which are subject to link rot over time. Thus losing the context/source if underlying paper go

Loyalty means absolutely nothing anymore. I have pondered switching but I feel it’s just the same shit, different company. In the US, you don’t have many options. Primary carriers are ATT, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Sure you can go with an MVNO

I didn’t know this and thanks for sharing. Glad I run ad blockers (no ad revenue for them). Not sure why there are so many salty comments. Russian invasion of Ukraine represents a regression to colonialism.
