Nope. I can eat a burger at other places without issue.

I actually quit eating there over 15 years ago which is before I started traveling. Got tired of having hydro-dynamic gastrointestinal expulsion after eating.

A VPS is barely self hosting.

Monit is free and super lightweight

There can be multiple things at play but one thought it's you may be hardware constrained. This is not limited to just your server but also how you are connecting. If you are using a budget cell phone with a bunch of things installed and running it will get slower. If you use a bunch of social media apps disable them before starting a test so they are not running in the background or eating into your connection.

Another is it sounds like you are using your Tailscale connection to then reach out through your regular connection to a speedtest. So you're using the same connection with multiple data streams at the same time. You will be limited to your slowest speed when sending data to or from a server through you tailscale connection to the internet so give up on that 109Mb/s. You also have to take into account what your connecting devices speed is, if you are on cellular with an 18Mb/s connection that is your top speed.

Finally instead of running a speed test to the internet, spin up an instance of openspeedtest on a computer that is not hosting your tailscale connection and test to there. When you are starting to setup a homelab it can be useful to have an in house speedtest anyway.

Companies chase the money. Nvidia was never for gamers, it was for investors and gaming just happened to be where the money was. Now it's not and people are realizing the truth of it all. To corporations we are nothing other than disposable profit margins. If the corporations can find a better profit elsewhere they will gladly do so. It's been that way for a while.

Friends...

I would rather watch women's tennis or a fishing show. I don't fish, I don't play tennis.

But with a few million investment you can design and build as a startup. It won't compete with Nvidia or AMD to begin with but the potential is there.

It's looking more and more like Nvidia and amd are going to chase they data center/AI processing cash cow. With an initial investment of 10 million a company could start up and within 20 years be a market leader if they dedicate catering to gamers and the gaming landscape would shift drastically to function with their hardware even if the ai/processing centric hardware is removed.

You don’t need $500 million to start a GPU company; you need $500 million to mass-manufacture a 3nm desktop card. If you use a few million dollars to design a brilliant, streamlined graphics architecture, you can prove it works on virtual hardware, license it to console makers, or use an older, affordable manufacturing node to serve the millions of gamers that NVIDIA is abandoning to chase AI profits.

Nvidia is chasing the data center hardware market and will continue to do so to make their investors happy. In doing so they will create a vacuum in the consumer market with AMD and Intel likely to follow. History has shown that when a vacuum is created a new company will step in to fill the void created and a lean team with an efficient design and the drive to serve the people can succeed.

C/linuxsucks comes to mind....

It's just a group of angry people is all I can tell.

My post was https://lemmy.world/post/48179739 if you can access it. The community creator banned me and removed it.

No clue how the block buttons are set up. But I don't see that community going anywhere and I don't view the everything feed.

I would prefer to strap on my BCD and a cylinder and head under water.

Otherwise I try and work on my house but I'm often low on materials and have to wait to make purchases.

So I usually just put a movie or TV show on and research projects, parts, designs, and make plans for other stuff I'm working on.

For me to be less lonely I find it's better to be busy.

Maybe they should install Linux and start tinkering...LOL. That would keep them busy for a while.

Why people are infatuated with celebrities.

Reminds me of my buddy. He had cancer but loved me so much. He kept me going when my wife died.

Find an Asian market. Go to their international isle. Look for grace brand or wildwood brand.

The issue is that it's nearly impossible to get scotch bonnet peppers and habanero are not the same.

Also authentic jerk is smoked over pimento wood (pimento is what they call the allspice berries) so even having everything else authentic doesn't guarantee it's going to taste the same.

If you insist on doing your own https://jamaicacafe.org/jerk-chicken/ is pretty much it. And use real fresh ginger, not the pre mushed paste in a tube (if you get a micro plane and freeze the ginger you can quickly grate what you need) and it must be scotch bonnet peppers.

My late wife was from Jamaica.

Also try the Saturday chicken soup https://originalflava.com/soups-and-stews/chicken-saturday-soup/ get some packets of pumpkin soup and use that powder instead of the chicken soup they suggest and use knorr bullion powder for the broth.

Look at Mumble. It's FOSS (Free Open Source Software)

And this will be my last post on the subject. Look out for my post on c/linuxsucks.

Listen up, folks. We all know Linux sucks. It’s a fact. But I did some digging, and the conspiracy goes way deeper than just some neckbeard's broken desktop environment.

​It turns out Linux has infected literally everything. And since Linux sucks, by transitive property, the entire modern world sucks and we need to stop using all of it immediately.

​If you are a true Linux hater, it is time to walk the walk. Here is the hit list of things we need to boycott starting today:

​1. The Internet

​Yep, turn off your router. The Internet runs on Linux. The vast majority of the world’s web servers, DNS servers, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure) are powered by Linux. Every time you open a webpage, you are validating Linus Torvalds. If you’re reading this post right now, you are part of the problem. Smash your modem. It sucks.

​2. Smartphones (Yes, even yours)

​Are you reading this on an Android? Congratulations, you are carrying a modified Linux kernel in your pocket. It sucks. Oh, you have an iPhone? Well, the massive server farms that Apple uses to sync your iCloud data, send your iMessages, and process your Apple Pay run on—you guessed it—Linux. Throw your phone in a lake.

​3. Entertainment and Streaming

​Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube: Their massive backend streaming infrastructure? All Linux. ​Smart TVs: Most of them run on Linux-based firmware. If you want to watch a movie, go outside and act it out with puppets. Digital entertainment is ruined.

​4. Space Exploration

​NASA sent the Ingenuity helicopter to Mars, and it was powered by a Linux distribution. Space sucks now. SpaceX rockets? Linux. We can’t even leave the planet to get away from it.

​5. High-Speed Rail and Air Travel

​Commercial aviation routing systems, air traffic control data feeds, and international bullet train networks rely heavily on Linux for uptime and reliability. If you want to travel, you better buy a horse. (Just make sure the horse hasn't been microchipped by a vet using a Linux database).

​6. The Entire Global Economy

​The New York Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, and virtually all major banking backends run on Linux because they need "99.999% uptime." You know what else has 99.999% uptime? Garbage. Money sucks. Go back to the barter system.

1. Windows and Microsoft (The Ultimate Betrayal)

​Oh, you thought you were safe because you only use Windows? Think again! This goes all the way to the top. The mechanism used to fix, patch, and secure every Windows machine on Earth—Windows Update—is powered by a Linux backend. Microsoft uses Linux servers and container networks to push out their own updates because apparently, Windows Server can’t even handle distributing its own code. So every time your PC forces a random reboot to install a security patch, a Linux server just handed Windows its lunch. Windows sucks so hard that it literally relies on Linux to fix itself, which means Windows is Linux by proxy. They both suck!

​Conclusion: The Ultimate Protest

​If we are going to be pure, we have to commit. I am calling for a total and complete shutdown of modern society until the entire global infrastructure is rewritten in pure, unadulterated Windows ME. ​This is my final post. I am smashing my PC, disconnecting my power grid (because utility companies use Linux to manage the smart grid), and moving into a cave.

​Who is with me?!

Awww, I got banned.

If you are tired of receiving the offers send them a cease and desist letter via registered mail.

https://legalclarity.org/how-to-legally-tell-someone-to-stop-contacting-you/

If they continue contacting after about 30 days it is harassment and you can file for a restraining order and sue them for damages.

When you go to send the letters be sure to keep a copy for yourself along with the receipts for the mailing and be sure to have a witness to the mailing. I would just ask the person at the post office to do this for proof that what you sent was the same as the copy you keep for yourself.

If you want the service then you need to find out why your neighbors have the service available and you don't. That means escalating the call to a support person.

My stepson is likely a 37 yeast old virgin.

Don't be like my stepson.

Get a haircut, take a shower, go out on a date. When you are with her ask her on another. Take the chance to see where things go. If you don't before you know it you will be someone's 40 year old virgin.

Glad you found out before the purchase. I made my purchase September 2024 and still rely on it for FrigateNVR.

I'm hoping that somehow a few people will get together to keep it going for a while. I sadly don't understand most of the programming and such.
