  • So you have local DNS set up?
    If you ping (or dig) speed.mydomain.local, does it resolve the same address as local_ip?
    Considering you are accessing local_ip:3000 and the domain on port 443, there is clearly a firewall somewhere redirecting packets or a reverse proxy on the domain but not on local_ip:3000

    Follow the port chain, forwarding, proxying etc. One of those will be bottlenecking. Then figure out why

    Edit:
    Just because your ISP speed is 100mbps and you are seeing 500mbps, doesn’t mean the connection isn’t hairpinning through your router via it’s public IP (as in, the traffic never leaves your router, but still goes through it)

    Conference rooms are built big. Like in hotels, or conference centers.
    But not everyone wants a big room if they only have 100 people in the audience. And they don’t want to pay for a room that can hold 600 people, when they are only gonna be clumped up in like 1/3 of the room or whatever.

    So conference rooms are built in a way they can be subdivided. By airwalls.
    Next time you are at a conference, look for tracks in the ceiling. Like a metal channel with a slot running through it.
    Or look for a wall made up of 1m sections.
    That’s airwall track & airwall.
    You run them along the track until they hit another bit of wall, stick an Allen key in the end of them, and wind down a soundproofing seal that also locks the wall in place. Then you run out another, and so on, until there is a wall.

    Where the track meets the actual room walls, there will be additional tracking and full height doors that allow the wall to be manoeuvred and stored


  • Stephen King dark tower?
    No. Not western, no guns, no science, not really horror.

    WoT is the whole “forgotten/suppressed magic, ‘the one’, forces of long imprisoned evil” kinda fantasy, along with a rise to power, world politics, massive battles, adventure, and - I guess - romance.
    Has a lot of the tropes, but carves a great story and adventure.
    I genuinely recommend it. I’ve read it 3 times, and I enjoy the TV series.

    It’s a 15 book epic fantasy, with the last 3 books written by Brandon Sanderson according to (deceased, 2007) Robert Jordans notes.

    It’s good.
    It has it’s faults, Robert Jordans writing has it’s faults.
    But it is good, a great story, a great adventure, a great over-arching story. And 15 books long, makes it great read to sink into and enjoy.





  • A page could load thousands of images and thousands of tiny CSS files.
    None of that is JS, all of that is loads of extra requests.

    Never mind WASM. It’s a portable compiled binary that runs on the browser. Code that in c#, rust, python, whatever.
    So no, JS is not the only way to poorly implement API requests.

    Besides, http/2 has connection reuse. If the IP and the TLS cert authority is the same, additional API/file etc requests will happen over the established TLS connection, reducing the overhead of establishing a secure connection.

    Your dislike is of badly made websites and the prevalence of the browser being a common execution framework, and is wrongly directed at JS.






  • I’m currently reconsidering using a couple mikrotik for some layer 3 hardware offloading.
    Not really homelab, but close.

    I have a project that gets integrated with another network for an event. I’m thinking of using 2x crs504 (cause I’m using mlag for servers, think vrrp or whatever for “public” (it’s all internal) ip) and seeing if I can get l3hw working as a router.
    While I could sit on a subnet of the “host” network, having a gateway that traffic goes through allows me to test and prove everything for my system in my homelab, with just the final integration being a do-in-a-time-crunch problem.
    I’m already using the crs504s for networking (I bought them ages ago, thinking 25gbps was going to be as easy as 10gbps. It’s all running at 10gbps), and this saves having to use something as a router, cuts down on rack space, all sorts of benefits. I think.
    Anyone have any experience with mikrotik l3hw offloading?

    My actual homeland is just a NAS and some networking. It’s a small flat, it’s just me. Not complicated, no need to give me more headaches!
