Cat 5e supports 5 and 10GbE at least for 10 meters. I wouldn’t bet on it considering the price of Cat 6a but 2 meters is really short.

Iperf is the standard for measuring speeds between devices, remote OR local. Can you be more specific about what you mean by “This”?

If the registration process just picked a random instance for you, maybe something nearby, and assured new users that they can visit communities and interact with users across instances, very few would pick the biggest instance.

Can anyone score me?

Taco’s and Tears of the Kingdom this evening. I also macrodose psilocybe truffles (Mexicana).

Windows 11. It came with a license, I’m depending on the Adobe Suite and several productivity tools that run trouble free on a Windows machine. My instance has been cleaned up by Windows 10 Debloater and Shutup10. I feel like I need to make excuses for using Windows but when it’s set up properly, it is very familiar and intuitive. Plus, whenever you get new equipment or need a niche plugin, you can count on it that they’ll have a well maintained Windows application.

First and foremost, the user that adviced you to look at the connection speed is 100% right. If you establish a gigabit link with a gigabit device, it makes no sense to upgrade other than future proofing.

There’s no point in going beyond Cat 6a. Keep in mind that the length of the cable is a big factor as well. For 1/2.5GbE, Cat 5e is plenty (for at least 100m). If you plan on going to 5/10GbE now or in the near future, Cat 6a will get you there with ease (for at least 100m). In both cases, keep the cable as close to the required length as possible + a 30cm/1ft service loop (slack) on each end. That will cause no more signal degradation then necessary and make for a clean install.

Absolutely. I want it to be a clear consequence of their anti-user policies. And I want Netflix to crash and burn for taking away account sharing. At the moment, the power is fully in the hands of corporations and stakeholders. We need to show that users can organise and have the power to pull the plug on a service or community if they are being treated like cash cows.
