Going to do “The Old Computer Challenge v2” soon: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchallenge-v2-rtc.html
tl;dr:
Use the internet (a bit) like it was in the 90’ies, i.e. only connect for very brief amounts of time. I think 20 minutes a day was already quite a lot for us. It would be total madness to also limit the available bandwidth to the speed of a 56k modem, so that’s not part of the experiment.
I’ll write about the experiment in my gopher hole.
@mckinley@twtxt.net iphone per hour is a remnant of a odd situation from february. does not represent any of our finances.
if i calculate my iphone/hr finance equation it would put me in the one per leap year category.
internet throughput related prior to my decent debut as a digital hobo i ran 1gbps, 2gbps, and 5gbps fiber links.
could download the entire internet while my leer jet was being fueled and my platinum-coated kalashnikov was given a massage by a team of swedish courtesans.
this thread is depressing. i miss being a billionaire and parking my aventador in my library while tai lopez fetches my crushed velvet smoking jacket.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de du erinnerst mich sehr oft an “yeti”.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net rms batch transmits. if it’s good enough for him we can do it too. but i draw the line at eating my feet.
