I’ve been very happy with Ubiquity Edgerouters the last few years. Their ER-X model can do 1Gbps total… So if you’re downloading at 500Mbps then you can upload at 500Mbps. It come in about USD 60 I think.

Next level up is the Edgerouter Lite 3. It is much beefier and can easily handle 1Gbps both ways and even faster. It’s just under $100. 99 or so. Maybe you can find it on special.

They are really prosumer and definitely much stabler than typical consumer routers. Eg I haven’t reset mine in more than 2 years.

It’s not open source like mikrotik but they are very hacker and tech use friendly. Most things work via CLI. And most advanced router functions are supported.

What do you want to do? How fast is your internet? 1Gbps fibre requires something much beefier than 50Mbps.

How many servers do you have going? Are people accessing them from outside?

How many people in your household? Are they gamers and need low latency? Heavy streamers? Working from home needing VPNs?

Without this context just look at a pricelist.

Just be less poor. /s

But seriously in business class you can tell them if you want to be woken up or not and they’ll remember and respect it. Or course you can also probably get something to eat even if you missed meal service.

Enshittification and masturbation.

These mines are going to be a problem for decades to come sadly.

Thousands of angry Muslims around the world demanding Sweden forbid such acts reacted by storming and burning the Swedish embassy in Iraq on July 20, for instance, as well as burning countless US, Israeli, Swedish and LGTBQ flags.

So they’re complaining about their symbols being burnt but they do exactly the same? Okay.

It feels good to be home

I suspect they’re thinking about port forwarding. For another torrent to connect inbound to you, you need to have a port open for inbound connections and most VPNs don’t provide this as standard.

But you can still torrent if you don’t have ports… But you can only initiate outbound connections to other peers. And it works two way… Those peers you connected to can request data from you without problem.

However if there are too many peers without ports then it becomes a problem because no-one can successfully connect with each other.

Agreed. It’s like people forgot about Microsoft and IE. They also had drm options in the browser. Anyone remember Silverlight?

And how did that work out for them?

Buy any kindle you prefer. Install calibre. Connect USB cable between kindle and computer.

Done.

Now download ebooks from anywhere, import into calibre and sync to your Kindle.

I have the paper white touch screen one.

Star Trek ships at home. And Game of Thrones characters at work.

That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.

Yes this has been a game changer and would’ve been my advice too (but you posted before me).

Using a deluge container with vpn baked in is amazing. And also it makes setup so much easier. Instead of messing with tags and complicated configs I simply run a deluge docker container for each other app. My movies docker compose file starts up radarr and it’s own deluge and jacket etc. My television docker compose file starts up medusa, it’s own deluge, etc.

Provides for maximum flexibility. And put traefik in front of it all… so I go to “movies.mydomain.net” and can use radarr… or “television.mydomain.net” and it goes to medusa. Much more family friendly.

I only emulate old arcade games so I built the typical arcade sticks and buttons myself into my cabinet.

Cool. But what about tomorrow when he changes his mind again?

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

It was the first to throw some real money behind it’s server infrastructure. A month ago most Lemmy instances - even the “big” ones ran on $10 a month 2 vCPU VPSs.

There was another influx early in June when the API changes were announced but before the blackouts even happened.

Most instances with public signups started struggling but Lemmy.world launched and Ruud upgraded the server hardware almost daily to keep up.

Other instances even had to pause signups from time to time but world kept working and so gobbled up most signups on those days.

Once it got to be a top 3 instance and then top 2 and then first it became a self sustaining snowball as a lot of people chose the biggest instance by default.

And before that Slashdot

Maybe weekly then until it picks up.
