the ferengi are moral giants when compared to any recent US administration - and, with the 2024 election, perhaps the us as a whole. :-|

I lack the mental capacity to unpack any of this blurbage, but holy hell - what a cover and strategic use of an ellipsis.

holy shit! the FBI is communist?! cool, cool.

pretty much. learning things without a corresponding “oh… shit.” moment, just never quite stick with you the same way.

oh, cool - RFKs suggested DSM just dropped!

I imagine, sometimes, its the only way to cope with them. some people get paranoid, some do not. setting and grounding play important roles in this.

if you really want a deep dive (cuz your post suggests that), fire up wireshark on a speed test PC and capture the traffic while you test. look for out-of-order, missing and corrupted packets. you will also get awesome stats on the traffic - wireshark is your best friend. be warned, this is the entrance to the rabbit hole.

edit: because at some point you are going to want to slide wireshark between the cable modem and your router - for general troubleshooting (and funsies!) then things get interesting as you figure out how to do that properly.

110% legit. its just that simple.

test it early morning when your neighbor peeps are sleeping (or bulk traffic torrenting - QoS usually knocks them back down pretty quickly). at the least you are looking for rock solid ping times. if pings are wild your link or the community bandwidth is possibility saturated.

is something already pushing 300Mbps worth of traffic across the router? speed tests that are good at power cycle, but quickly deteriorate after, can sometimes indicate that you have unaccounted for traffic crossing a bandwidth limited i/f (your ISPs service).

check your router stats for the missing traffic.

edit: also, almost all ISPs have a “burst bucket” for quick but intensive bursts of traffic. you get super speed for a few seconds while your bucket fills up. once full/overcommitted, your ISP starts rate limiting your service again. that may be why you get nice initial speeds, but they drop off quickly. does your ISP give burst speeds and sustained speeds in its terms of service contract on your kids?

at which point you turn on all symbols/debugging, bloat your binary 10x and submit it …cuz it seems to work sometimes then.

or, if you are really lucky, you can poke the right locations and release the magic blue smoke from the chips. super fun and all the cool kids are doing it.

Crowd sourced, open access FLOS(Data) is almost always good. will check it out. thanks!

I torture it by pointing its webcam at the wall outlet and forcing it to watch its own pull-the-plug execution.

I will be among the first against the wall when the AI revolution comes.

without addons to control internet crazy, that word “function” is doing some heavy lifting.

ok, now thats just a slice of awesomeness! thank you, kind friend. will look for the show.

looking to slow right the F down? any of the family (meaning not primary islands) islands in the Bahamas, but particularly abaco, eleuthera, long island or andros. 100% totally different way of living than you are likely used to.

visited many times and wanting to go back before its all gone due to climate change.

edit: tagging @espentan@lemmy.world cuz I did a dumb and subcommented.

GNUs Not Unix. I don’t recall him claiming it was. if he did, well… :-/

didnt finish the video but, seriously, one of the best laymans explainations I have seen of emulation and thin compatibility layers.

what did you do to that poor oldstable, you, you… monster???
