Almost all 32x8 (capable of 1 gig) docsis 3 modems are going to be puma based.
No reason not to get docsis 3.1 unless you are truly cash strapped. That leaves the SB8200 if you’re ok with 1Gbe ports, or the S33 if you want a 2.5 port.
It has to go upstream for answered requests, so it can add 1 or 2 ms to the 45 ms it would otherwise take when you’re local. If you’re using a VPN to your home dns, it can add 75 ms and I can feel it.
You used to be able to PHOTOPRISM_SPONSOR: “true” but they plugged that hole. They poor-mouth on reddit and GitHub. People that self-host are trying to get away from subscriptions, you think they’d see that
Back when I dabbled with alt firmware on consumer routers, radio drivers were always a problem. Reliability, performance, or both always suffered. Maybe get a dedicated access point and use just the routing functions. It can move from router to router, firmware to firmware.
I built it with the goal of being upgradable when prices came down and I grew into the system. That lasted 2 months and I’m swimming in transceivers and switches lol
Yes, WOW. It’s docsis 3.1 down, but still 8x 3.0 up. They’re planning high split and fiber but I’ll have to wait. My nic is dual sfp+, just need something worthy to plug into it.
Downloads won’t hit 1000 from home (but still 500+) if I pick more distant servers, but uploads are usually fine. I think my ISP games it and uncorks for speed tests.
Cable, yes. WOW is planning high-split soon, and also fiber in my city but it isn’t complete yet. The alternative is Comcast but there are ridiculous data caps and you have to use their gateway for the higher tiers. They also pulled the “failed to return equipment” scam on me back in 2007. That stayed in collections for 7 years, fuck 'em.
I've got 1000/50 service from a mid-size ISP. It's pretty consistent- any time I run a speed test from home, it will hit those numbers. I have an opnsense plugin checking twice a day.
Performance from my self-hosted services to the internet, however, is very inconsistent. Sometimes I get the full 50, sometimes it will only hit 5 Mbit/s.
Is it possible a VPS proxy could provide less congested routes? Is there a better way to troubleshoot the bottleneck? When i notice a slowdown, usually watching a clip on frigate, I'll use a public speedtest to check my field connection. If it's over 50 down, I'll check librespeed on my server. If frigate or plex is fast, librespeed will be too. If I've noticed a problem, librespeed has always agreed.
My host machine is a 5700g w/ 64 gigs of ram, X520 nic to an S33 modem, so I don't think it's a hardware bottleneck.
I got into MAM pretty easily. Readarr doesn’t support text and audio with a single instance, so I abandoned that for audiobookshelf. People rave about calibre but it wasn’t my cup of tea.
