“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 git repo should ignore the venv folder, so when you clone you then create a new one and activate it with those steps.

Then when you are installing requirements with pip, the repo you cloned will likely have a requirements.txt file in it, so you ‘pip install -r requirements.txt’

it is indeed infrequent, but the modern world has trained me to expect convenience and instant-ness. Last time i wanted a 12-year-old email I was in the car with friends and and to pull it up. it wasn’t anything important at all, to be clear, but i’m hoping to search my 12-year-old emails with the same convenience as last month’s.

I think that that is right that I fundamentally want an archive, not what a normal mail server provides. Part of my thought on looking at mail servers is that those would integrate directly with whatever other front-end/client that I’d normally use, whereas an archive maybe would not.

And regarding archive-specific stuff, I am seeing some things on a search, but I guess i’m wondering if folks here have any recommendations. When I look at , for example, nothing comes up for email archive, just for email servers. That, plus what I see when searching, makes me think that the archive-specific stuff is either oriented to business or oriented to a CLI (like NotMuch, which was mentioned in the discussion here and does look cool).

This looks like a good backend for sure, but the web frontends look a little lacking and I’m not seeing anything about a mobile frontend (other than if a web one was up, which would be fine). Have you tried any of the web frontends?

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

Women are you and I are going to be a little late.

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.

Unrelated to your actual post (plan to read later), but is your RSS busted? The rss link on the webpage gives a 404 and my RSS reader is erroring on it as well…

I learned a lot about pandas (a library built mostly on top of numpy) by going to stackoverflow and trying to answer questions with the tag. Hopefully the questions have a minimal reproducible example and are isolated to one specific question
