Sonos devices and apps used uPnP. The router was not involved.

That's the one

Got that one as well a bunch of time with 2 fake dutch inventors. Reported it, got denied because Youtube thinks it's fine to promote a scam like that.

Ah yes, if line doesn't up and to the right then it must be bad.

For life expectancy, yes.

It can also be read as 1/3 are walking:

The remaining 1/3 are those who live close enough to the primary school that they are more likely to walk.

Didn't that halve the cursor speed as well?

Steam downloads are plain HTTP in separate file chunks. Easy to cache and load balance across connections.

1000/200 per segment of course. So in a typical HFC network that can be shared between 40-400 homes.

SQM with Cake is a life saver in any kind of network with bufferbloat. The per-host/IP fairness is the cherry on top.

My cable modem is in bridge but I can also reach its web interface the management IP. In that case, you should find out if the modem is vulnerable because an exploited modem could still be messing with your traffic.

Geekbench just lists the stock speeds for the chip, not the actual speeds used for the benchmark.

For over 10 years I've been running a semi-public Mumble server. It's pretty much zero effort, low CPU and low bandwidth usage.

These days mainly just as a backup for when Discord lags, which over the past few weeks has been often. It's so nice to have a very good, open source, self-hosted, encrypted communications app as an alternative to yet another Electron app.

For web traffic, yes, it's a solution. But if you deal with gameserver traffic like me, Cloudflare can't save you.

OVH's anti-DDoS (GAME variant) is quite good in my experience for protecting non-web traffic.

That's very interesting, that just made me realize my x299 ITX board has the exact same issue with CSM while trying to boot into OS/X (so also BSD-ish, but hackintosh). So a good chance of hanging on boot, unless I disable CSM and a power loss event will clear this CSM setting.

I recently encountered a bug in an Asrock UEFI (CPU power limits ignored in the X299 ITX motherboard) and contacted Asrock about it. Got a fixed version emailed to me within a couple of days. Perhaps try that instead of the forums.

Smart queue (fq_codel + htb) does not do per-host fairness, only per flow fairness. So a single host on the LAN can still hog all the bandwidth.

Just enable smart queue QoS in the web interface. The ER-X should be able to handle links up to about 150-180Mbit with Smart Queue QoS enabled.

Just enable smart queue QoS in the web interface. The ER 6P should be able to handle links up to about 300Mbit with Smart Queue QoS enabled.

You're one of the lucky ones with an ISP with properly configured buffers. A+ is the goal on that test though, which basically means no extra latency under load.

I love the ER-X because it's cheap, generally available and a fine router with SQM. Just keep in mind that with smart queue enabled it will top out at about 150-170Mbit. If you're on a faster connection the Edgerouter ER4 with its faster quad core CPU should be able to handle up to about 300-350Mbit.

When you need to shape even more bandwidth, routers based on the Marvel XP Armada chipset do very well. I flashed a Linksys WRT1900ACS with OpenWRT and was able to shape about 600-750Mbps before it ran out of horsepower.

Why would you have to choose either?

fq_codel and cake use a tiny bit of packet loss to get a sending host to back off, for example to keep a large download flow within the limits of your home link. Other flows aren't affected.

Bufferbloat regularly adds hundreds of ms on home internet connections, you can get an indication of your bufferbloat on http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest

An awful lot of home broadband connections suffer from bufferbloat and even for the ones that don't, a single host can easily hog all the bandwidth. If you're used to getting lag in your VoIP or gaming when a house mate starts a stream/download/torrent, this can be fixed :)

The cake traffic shaper in OpenWRT is amazing for fighting bufferbloat in your home network and it can also do almost perfect fairness in dividing the available bandwidth per LAN host with very little configuration. Just get it as part of the SQM tools in OpenWRT and enable it. For the per-host-fairness take a look at the "Make cake sing and dance" from this link: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/traffic-shaping/...

If you use an Edgerouter, you can get the cake traffic shaper but you'll have to do without the easy web interface OpenWRT has: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeRouter/Cake-and-FQ-PIE-com...

This is supposedly fixed in databases created with MySQL 5.7 and up.

MySQL 5.7 (2015) added some optimizations such as a variable length sort buffer, and also changed InnoDB’s default row format to DYNAMIC. This allows for indexes on VARCHAR(255) with utf8mb4; something that made migrations more difficult prior.

They provide the GPL sources and SDK to build the entire kernel or just custom modules. 3.10.x kernel, but still.

Sorry, I meant automated testing. Getting all the piecies running in a test stage isn't hard.

Every little piece is easy/easier to test, but testing end-to-end over multiple micro-apps is hard in my experience.

I love cucumber. When you join the development of a project it's a great place to start and learn what the project is about.

The whole 'customer writes features' thing never worked for me either, but just having it as automated specifications for my projects makes it very valuable for me.

If someone just uses your hotspot (signs in through Facebook :/ ), you get free data.

Code retreat is not about writing tests or code quickly, it's about writing them as well as you possibly can. If you have 2 lines of code after 45 minutes, that's fine. If you've solved half the problem, that's fine too. The 45 minute cycles are there to prevent you from attempting to solve the entire problem. You should be writing the best code you can, not try to solve as much of the problem as possible in 45 minutes.

During the break between cycles you can reflect on the solution you tried to write and hear how other pairs tried to solve the problem.
