  • How to properly test my internet speed from ISP?

    Jump

  • 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."

  • The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Is Python's tooling incredibly difficult, or am I just stupid?

  • 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'

  • Store (and access) old emails

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Store (and access) old emails

  • 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?
