Symmetrical 4.7Mbps down, 4.7Mbps up today.

My current main laptop runs #Kubuntu 20.04 LTS. The #systemd resolver seems to have problems resolving on #hotel_inet ... everything is fine once it gets past the login page and I can start the #VPN, but until then, it is dicey.
I’m thinking that I might install the latest #Devuan in its place and skip religiously-inspired choices like replacing proven DNS clients with one that is integrated into the ever-famished, all-devouring System Daemon.

I went with #Mullvad #VPN. The connection is perceptibly slower, but the DNS errors are gone. The original plan was to get both Mullvad and #NordVPN, but I think I'll just use the one for a while.
#Hotel_INET (whether "wired" or #Hotel_Wi-Fi) is generally not trustworthy enough to use without a VPN. When #Tunnelr (a now-closed VPN service) shut down, I didn't get their announcement. I was in a hotel in #MO and found a large list of sites that were suddenly blocked because I couldn't log into my VPN.
In that case, the hotel's service provider was local, so when I told the lady at the front desk I was going to move to another hotel over the blocking, the hotel manager called and put someone from the service provider on the phone ... he then logged into the firewall and edited the rules until I was satisfied.

I'm going to have to get a #VPN service again. Since I haven't been in hotels (and dealing with #hotel_INET) for over a year, I had no reason to pay for a service I wasn't going to use.

@musicman I don't think there was a #TomEE in 2004. I hadn't even heard of #Glassfish yet. I used regular #Tomcat (with #Apache and #IIS) at school, and even looked into a #Java based web host ... but the work schedule and commuting (and then traveling and #hotel_INET) just made it not doable.
-
#hotel_inet of any variety, but especially #hotel_Wi-Fi, stinks horribly.
-
@amic Why are you copying me? #hotel_inet stinks.
-
@kurisu 56k bits per month? #hotel_inet can do that.
-
Not just #hotel_INET ... #hotspot is running 660kbps down, 1.5Mbps up. Going to have to find another hotel, I guess.
-
The new hotel is newer and cleaner. The #hotel_Wi-Fi is painfully slow, even worse than the old #hotel_INET, but it is the beginning of the month and I have hotspot data.

Watching @sir's coding stream at https://live.drewdevault.com/
Probably won't stay on too long, as I'm on #hotel_inet and it keeps pausing to buffer.
-
Today’s #hotel_Wi-Fi speed: 14.5 Mbps down, 1.1 Mbps up. That’s before connecting to #VPN, which normally slows it down a little.
With VPN, #hotel_INET gives me 13.2 Mbps down, 449 kbps up.
-
Hotspot is almost out of data. Going to switch back to the tablet and use #VPN across #hotel_Wi-Fi ( #hotel_INET stinks, but the price is bundled in the price of the room )
-
5.75 Mbps down, 63 kbps up. That’s not all PIA VPN, most of that slowness is #hotel_inet. Time to buy a card for my hotspot, so I get decent connection speed with some level of privacy and security.
-
@corbin Sad to hear it. Those who usually access the Internet from places where streaming is difficult and unreliable (like much #hotel_inet these days, where even a short YouTube video is more buffering than watching) really benefit from video on discs.
-
I bought a portable DVD player a year ago. #hotel_inet, so not reliable enough to stream even if I could get to the ports to attach my Roku; hotel's cable TV service was a wasteland.
-
#hotel_inet really has high latency tonight.

So I'm not going to completely pull the plug on either #Bitmessage or #Twister yet, but neither one seems to have much personal interaction going on*, so I expect to greatly reduce the time and effort invested in either one.
Twister is full of feed repeaters, but not much actual person-to-person conversation. Meanwhile, it can be months between incoming messages on Bitmessage. Be aware that the !Bitmessage #GNU_Social group broadcast address (BM-2cThQovMpBKcomn5xbLKZdT63CcnmAUC1k) is only functional when my client is connected, which is only intermittently with the current #hotel_inet situation. It is probably a good idea to use the group public address (BM-2cSmr7ACeZ2jVEdXAEHxAgr7jyhv1herKv) instead.
* As observed over a reasonable time period.
