2/28    Just got DSL. Only getting max 320k uplink per dslreports
        Tried bunch of tweaks, no change. Tried different machines.
        Tried PPPoE hardware-router box, no change. What's up? Is
        it Pacbell doing this to me? How can I check?
        \_ dude, did you get dsl for XBox?  Which carrier did you use?
           Did you take my advice and ordered DirectvDSL from Circuit City?
           It's sweet, 1.2mbps/75k (d/u).  I can't do anything about the
           upload speed though.  Used Dr. TCP from <DEAD>dslresports.com<DEAD>
           \_ Cable is 1.5/128.  What's so sweet about 1.2/75?
             \_ well, I don't get cable modem here.  My DSL speed was supposed
                to be 1.5/128.  But dslreports shows it 1.2/75.  Anyone
                know how to tract down upstream bottleneck?
        \_ 320k after the TCP/IP overhead? --oj
        \_ 320k is very good and more than they promise (128k). What
           are you getting for downlink speed? --dim
        \_ aw sh*t, sorry, I mean 320k download speed. ugh. too
           much caffeine and too little sleep. uplink is 104k, ok.
           I signed up for 384-1500/128. Are they screwing me?
           \_ Depends? How far are you away from the station? I'm right
              at the border (about 3miles away I think), and I'm getting
              ~750k
              \- hello, just out of curiosity, what are you measuing the
              per hop bandwidth with? this is kind of a hard problem i have
              some research interest in which is why i ask. or are you just
              checking you ftp speed tosome large well-connected site [i.e.
              path thruput rather than per-link bandwidth]. ok tnx --psb
              \_ like the orig. poster, i used http://dslreports.com
                 \_ Give me a more precise url than that. dslreports is a mass
                    of confusing cluttered links. I can't find anything there.
                    \- somewhere on that site is a "bandwidth tester" but it
                    isnt clear how it works, but it is clearly doing path-thrpt
                    and apparently it has kind of a low upper bound. --psb
                    \_ Some sort of client side app gets dumped on you.  God
                       only know what it's doing.  Sniffit.

4/26    I see that soda has an ipv6 address but ipv6 traffic from this box
        doesn't actually work (ping6 <DEAD>ipv6.google.com<DEAD>, ping6 http://www.v6.facebook.com
        Is this expected to work?
        \_ Soda doesn't have a real IPv6 address.  The IPv6 addresses you see
           in ifconfig are just link-local addresses; any IPv6-capable machine
           will autogenerate these, whether or not it's connected to an IPv6

11/1    I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
        code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
        DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home.  Is that BS?
        Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
        U-verse service?  I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

5/22    Are LED monitors much better than LCD monitors?
        \_ OLED is still too new to know.  They're direct emitters, so don't
           have a backlight, and can turn completely off, hence better black.
           The early news was that blue pixels burn out relatively quickly.
           \_ FWIW, Zune HD will use OLED.
        \_ Dunno, but I saw a very nice LED TV for just $2K. Wouldn't that

5/2     I have a 1Gbps switch. It is connected to a SANS RAID-1 with
        two WD Green 1T that takes 1Gbps connection, as well as a laptop
        that is also 1Gbps. Online benchmarks show *sustained* transfer
        rate of about 1/2 of 1Gbps with the WD Green... cool!!! But
        in practice, I'm only getting 68Mbps (read SANS->PC file transfer),
        far below what I expected. The switch says both devices are using

4/22    ok, here's a little networking puzzler. I haven't been able to access
        youtube for a couple weeks. Couldn't figure out why. Happened on all
        browsers. traceroute did weird stuff and then timed out. Finally I
        got so frustrated I setup firefox to ssh tunnel through soda.csua,
        which worked great. Then, I kill the ssh proc, quit FF, and now,
        I can access youtube just fine from any browser. wtf? any
