I have been struggling with transfers in AWS between EC2 and S3 being way slower than the advertised EC2 bandwidth

Last week I learned about:
aws configure set s3.preferred_transfer_client crt

and now transfers are super duper fast.

The more you know
Otherwise, it resolves to classic. Between versions of the AWS CLI, auto resolution criteria may change. To guarantee use of a specific transfer client, set the preferred_transfer_client configuration variable to the appropriate transfer client listed below. classic - Use the builtin, Python-based transfer client that supports all s3 commands, parameters, and most configuration values. crt - Use the AWS Common Runtime (CRT) transfer client when possible. It is a C-based S3 transfer client that can improve transfer throughput. Currently, the CRT transfer client does not support all of the functionality available in the classic transfer client. The list below details what functionality is currently not supported by the crt transfer client option and the corresponding behavior of the AWS CLI if it is configured to prefer the crt transfer client: S3 to S3 copies - Falls back to using the classic transfer client Region redirects - Transfers fail for requests sent to a region that does not match the region of the targeted S3 bucket. max_concurrent_requests, max_queue_size, multipart_threshold, and max_bandwidth configuration values - Ignores these configuration values.

Texas/Southwest ICE/CBP/National Guard could be at home where it's warm and they aren't being yelled at daily.

Instead, Chicago:

Authoritarianism is a political system characterized by the rejection of political plurality, the use of strong central power to preserve the political status quo, and reductions in democracy, separation of powers, civil liberties, and the rule of law.[1]

"The conservative writer Rod Dreher, a close friend of Vance, warned, “I am told by someone in a position to know that something like 30 to 40 percent of D.C. G.O.P. staffers under the age of 30 are Groypers.” The figure is impossible to check, but it captures a widespread sense that Fuentes’s politics are ascendant."

Because a lot of people think people are using the term Nazi too lightly these days, know that I don't.

Federalist No. 4- John Jay
It is too true, however disgraceful it may be to human nature, that nations in general will make war whenever they have a prospect of getting anything by it; nay, absolute monarchs will often make war when their nations are to get nothing by it, but for the purposes and objects merely personal, such as thirst for military glory, revenge for personal affronts, ambition, or private compacts to aggrandize or support their particular families or partisans. These and a variety of other motives, which affect only the mind of the sovereign, often lead him to engage in wars not sanctified by justice or the voice and interests of his people. But, independent of these inducements to war, which are more prevalent in absolute monarchies, but which well deserve our attention, there are others which affect nations as often as kings; and some of them will on examination be found to grow out of our relative situation and circumstances.

The new Pentagon press corps will include the Gateway Pundit, the National Pulse, Human Events, podcaster Tim Pool, the Just the News website founded by journalist John Solomon, Frontlines by Turning Point USA and LindellTV, run by “MyPillow” CEO Mike Lindell. The Pentagon’s announcement came less than a week after dozens of reporters from outlets like The New York Times, The Associated Press, CNN and the Washington Post turned in their access badges rather than agree to a policy the journalists say will restrict them to covering news approved by Hegseth.
