In this episode we dive into the wonderful world of bandwidth since there's an open source alternative to Speedtest.net and Fast.com these days, and it's LibreSpeed.org. Take a peek, preferably after they update their expired certificate (they seriously did this to us after we speak so highly!) and get a slightly more honest look at your speeds! For bonus points, try a different country. We also dig into some of the technical bits behind those tests.
Also, when speaking about jitter, I should have said 'delta' or 'difference' rather than 'average'!
Then, more age verification. This time, though, Linux distributions are caught in the crossfire and some are exploring the ways to actually handle potential implementations. Nothing's too dire yet as most of these 'laws' are still bills, and that means they don't matter quite yet.
Also, we look into a post by Gabriele Svelto, a Firefox developer, to find out that not only is Firefox a little more reliable than you might think, bad RAM or other hardware bits might actually be the reason things are crashing, and not just Firefox!
Finally, some feedback, and we learn that our Mac User / Listener Venn diagram isn't just two separate circles.
