Reading such articles, I feel like a hermit or something. I never stopped doing these things they describe as "going back to" and thinking about it, there really isn't any such algorithm I ever used or felt a need for.
The cognitive dissonance is quite ironic isn't it?
Ah, that is what I missed. Thanks.
This is only the theory. In the end there is still a chip doing the routing that has a total throuput it is capable of regardless of the direction.
The routing equipment at the distribution boxes is likely a limit. Both in regards to power consumption and heat production, plus especially with older equipment the total throughput it is capable of.
If you have a 10GBaseT connection, only using 5Gb in one direction doesn’t give you 15Gb in the other. It’s still 10Gb either way.
That's just a question of adhering to standards. The chip that does the routing internally has a total throughput and that is obviously both directions combined.
A factor I noticed here with my fiber ISP that hasn't been mentioned: total bandwidth of the router that comes with the contract.
While this is finally changing now, the cheap SoCs that where used for building these mass produced routers topped out at about 1.5gbit total throughput.
So to avoid people complaining about false advertisement and still sell ”1gbit" fiber, the maximum they are offering is a 1000/400 Mbit connection.
Cool stuff.
Is it possible to set both a dark and a light theme as a default?
I think XMPP is a nice supplement to ActivityPub instances for more private chat. You can quite easily hook the user database of Mastodon or Lemmy to an XMPP server and have the same user address work for both that way.
