Stefano Marinelli<p>Ok, both FTTC lines are back online together. As expected and reported by the providers, there was an issue at the central exchange related to the long power outage yesterday.</p><p>Interesting observation: one of the two providers, being a business contract, has a backup 4G SIM that automatically kicks in (unfortunately, it doesn't keep the assigned static IP but instead assigns a random one, which seems to be disliked by various captchas).<br>It is capped at 30 or 60 Mbit/sec down, 10/15 up, depending on their decision. During the entire time the FTTC lines were down, it was running at 30 Mbit/sec down.</p><p>Since I didn’t need to upload anything significant, I carried out my usual tasks both last night and this morning:<br>- Higher latencies, obviously, but not high enough to be bothersome during SSH sessions<br>- Performance was a bit less stable, with occasional latency spikes, but nothing "tragic"<br>- Fairly low TTL on connections. SSH sessions, which normally stay up for days even when idle, were being terminated after a few minutes of inactivity. I solved this by using mosh, as I often do when on the move.</p><p>Other than that, the interesting part is that I didn’t encounter any significant limitations in my usage. I was able to stream Young Sheldon (maybe half a second more of initial buffering – i.e., negligible), perform updates, and carry out tasks on my servers, etc. My wife didn't see any difference.</p><p>When I see regular people complaining because their mobile connection is "only" 500 Mbit/sec and thus "slow," it always makes me smile.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Connections" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Connections</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Internet</span></a></p>

strict <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSP</span></a> headers to prevent <a

the underlying implementation provided by the browser is the best way to go. i have implemented the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a> using the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/webcrypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webcrypto</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/api" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>api</span></a>. i aim to not use a library for this. </p><p>i generally try to word things in a way that users can provide feedback on features. the app is still in a very early stage, but has a reasonable amount of features. im generally open to requests and questions.</p><p>&gt;

feel free to slowly ibtegrate them.</p><p>this is basically already my approach to get the app to where it is now.</p><p>thanks for the luck, take care and i hope you stay tuned for updates.</p>
