Just attempted that, odd thing happened was that both evened out on the reverse test at ~800Mbp/s. So higher than the download test before and lower on the upload. Conducted iperf3 tests and that shows the 2.5gb bandwidth so I retried file sharing. Samba refused to work for whatever reason on Debian so I conducted a SCP transfer and after a few tests of a 6.3GB video file, I averaged around 500mbps (highs of around 800mbp/s and lows of around 270mbp/s).

Yes, it's a single hop.

ISP wouldn't matter regarding handling of LAN only traffic right?

[–] dontwakethetrees 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I've done pings without any drops. ISP doesn't come into effect as this is only LAN traffic, laptop and server are on the same switch.

Thanks! I think thats the closest term to what I was thinking of.

So I’ve gone back and forth between Apple and Android for the past decade and a half: I currently daily an iPhone 12 mini because I like the UI, size, ease of use, and the fact that I don’t use my phone as a multimedia device. If I could do akin to GrapheneOS or CalyxOS on iPhone I’d stick to it.

In the future once my iPhone breaks or finally becomes obsolete, I intend to go to either a used Pixel or a Fairphone. Both are supported by secure OSs but I also dislike how big both of them are.

TLDR: love iPhones, appreciate Fairphones.

For some games yes. It works alright for some older video games but wouldn't recommend for something modern. Use Crossover for that. However Parallels works well IMO for windows exclusive software outside of gaming.

[–] dontwakethetrees 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

It 100% is possible. You can’t bootcamp on Apple Silicon but Parallels is virtualized. It’s my goto for if Crossover isn’t playing nice with certain software.

If half your library is 32-bit Valve games sure but just because Steam warns you, doesn’t mean it’s broke. As I don’t play any Valve games (CSGO, TF2, etc), the 32-bit games I do have will run just fine on apple silicon. Haven’t found one game in my library that won’t work due to 32-bit.

So I had been using Orion for about a year with good results. It’s modified webkit so it feels like Safari but supports Chrome and Firefox plugins and has anti-fingerprinting/privacy measures.

I switched away after the situation a month or so ago with Kagi (same dev) adding Brave to their search and being a general ass to the people that raised concerns.

Currently I am using Librewolf, a privacy focused fork of Firefox, which has preformed really well. The only real issue I have is not being able to auto-fill sms 2FA codes like Safari.

Is it only some Mullvad servers that are flagged/blocked? I’ve used quite a few different servers (across North America and the EU) through Mullvad VPN and lemmy.world hasn’t blocked me afaik.

Only if you’re using an x86 version of Java. I have quite a few modpacks and realistic shaders and get 100+ fps using Azul’s Zulu JDK on a M2.
