“according to Western Officials”, i.e. the people who are (formally or informally) at war with Russia and have been isolating North Korea. They are a very biased source

I turned off QoS and immediately am getting 930 on speedtest.net from the desktop browser!

Also, very helpful to know Issue 1 here. I assumed that the router would be the best spot to test since it is farthest upstream (other than the modem). I didn’t know it could pass traffic faster than it can decode, but that makes sense that people would have tried to make that the case. The router is still getting ~500 Mbps while the browser is much closer to the full 1000.

fast.com gives 500 Mbps

going to librespeed.org got me 482 down

that makes sense, and I’m looking now. However, the only thing that has anything other than zero in the ‘Real-time rate’ on the router is the computer i’m typing this on, which is at ~30KB/s up and down

I’ve got a coax cable (not fiber) coming into the house, in the USA. My understanding is that there is some amount of shared network with the neighbors.

That is the correct question, and mostly no, I don’t have any specific problem.

The biggest motivator for me looking at it is probably just hobby/interest/how-does-this-work.

That said, my partner and I both work from home ~50% and are often pulling files/data that are a couple GB from the work network, and having those go faster would be nice. Probably the limiting factor in those, though, is the upload from the work network and so faster download for us likely wouldn’t matter, but I’d like to be able to say “I looked into it, honey.”

“DO NOT EVER TURN THIS SERVER OFF - CALL RON” is very good

If you arent an actual journalist who is being personally, specifically hunted then you probably don’t need to take the same precautions as one.

And yea, the guide boils down to “none of these things are 100% safe but they are realistic things you can do that can offer more protection than not doing them.”

Your skimming of the article missed how they do indeed talk about the shortcomings of every suggestion they have. For example, the article also does indeed talk about how you can turn off gps but your phone will still ping towers revealing your location, and goes on to say that you can put your phone in a faraday bag but that isnt practical for most people but is indeed an option if you want to do it.

The nsa wants to watch people who are watching the pornhub video of someone else watching porn. The third level there is more difficult to find

Playing games was fine - it was loading things up that has sucked. I haven’t gotten dota up on the SSD yet, but on the HDD it was real clunky and would half-load the landing page and sit there for ~10 seconds.

The biggest difference, though, is that firefox now opens immediately instead of taking ~10 seconds after clicking the icon

The folks who found it are presenting at Defcon this weekend, according to the article.

I imagine some of the industry press (i.e. Wired) are just looking through the Defcon agenda to figure out what to write. I saw two or three other articles about hacks or exploits and things like that that also mentioned it was bring presented at Defcon.

I doubt PBS has 15% slack in their budget, so a 15% cut would cause a lot of havoc.

Everyone who downvoted me didnt read the article, or didnt read what i said, or didnt read op, or something, i dont remember what they didnt read but they cannot be real because the only way to disagree with me is to not have read something or other (or did read it, cant remember which)

I read the fun blogpost that is not an academic paper and ive downvoted you. Does that mean i dont actually exist or that u dont actually exist???

Inside me there are two wolves, one that thinks “gamer” stuff is stupid, and another that thinks this router looks sweet as hell.

Im very amused at it being in word rather than .xlsx or .txt, like them going out if their way to make it worse because word is all they know.

I imagine that this incident will come up in the Apple antitrust case that the US Department of Justice has brought.

I started out using certbot, but once i needed a reverse proxy i found caddy. I was confused at first at how to set up the certificates for caddy, but it told me it would just work and my sites have the https and the little lock, so i guess it is just magic!

Have found caddy to be generally easy. I think first starting with it took a bit more to figure out, but it does work well

Pretty well lit for a shadowy place.

But holy shit those ergonomics. The desk is at their shoulders…
