@GossiTheDog dare I ask what latency is like?

Does anyone I know get their internets at home from #Toob?

It seems they’re coming to my area soon, and offering 900mb/s symetric for £29pcm on 18mo contract

How are the speeds, reliability and customer service?

Is the router any good and can I run it without NAT and keep my #openwrt box doing the routing?

Do they do #IPv6?

@GossiTheDog it’s certainly not gonna make FS2024 load any faster 😆

@GossiTheDog

@GossiTheDog a thousand thankyous to you as gracious host

@RickiTarr the first time my parents left me at home for an evening out with a babysitter, our otherwise very placid family dog wouldn’t let the babysitter anywhere near me. Sat by the cot and growled at her whenever she tried to touch me, apparently 😀

@RickiTarr I mean, look at her: not exactly guard dog material 😂

@GossiTheDog it looks a lot like Cyberpunk 2077 was at launch 😬

@JulietEMcKenna @cstross club and pub goers in Nottingham of the alternative scene in the 90s will no doubt remember Seamus Oblivion And The Megadeth Morrismen

I don’t think I need to explain more, a case of “does exactly what it says on the tin” 😂

@GossiTheDog those of us of a certain age 😂

@thanius that’s kinda the problem, though 😬

In the past some bright spark decided to bundle bundles together with cable ties, that now need carefully cutting off to release unused bundles.

Worse, some monster cable tied bundles to the pedestals, making pulling them out an absolute nightmare 😵💫

Siri, show me physical technical debt

(We’re clearing out at least 30 years’ worth of accumulated cabling under a datacentre raised floor. Lots of voice copper, co-ax (voice and Ethernet), serial cables and even some AppleTalk!)

I finally got to see the aurora 😀

I can’t see the pinky/purple stuff because I’m colourblind, but the green was incredible 🤩
