  • Seeing as you’re running this from a laptop, was this speed test performed on a wired connection?

    For self-hosting services you want to access remotely, you may find this to be exceptionally limiting. It may not be too bad if you live alone, and you’re sure no one else is using your network when you’re gone, but other devices performing routine updates may be enough to disrupt your outgoing connection. Additionally, that ping would indicate the speed test is being run from somewhere quite far from you. Latency that bad isn’t a great time for applications that might expect a consistent response time.

    As for streaming those FLACs from your server while at home: You’re not going to struggle loading these files, because your local network is likely running at least at gigabit speeds. That speed test isn’t representative of your network as a whole, but just your internet connection.



  • I had a real time of installing Windows on a laptop because I had a peripheral that only works in Windows.

    No trackpad drivers, no network drivers, no audio. Given Windows 11 now functionally requires internet during setup, I had to go get a USB drive, copy over the .inf files and have Windows find them before I could use the laptop that originally shipped with Windows.

    Absolutely crazy. None of it was weird hardware either. Intel wireless, standard trackpad (not synaptics), realtek audio. No idea what the hell its problem was.
