I guess all the cows in the paddock right next to them were immune?

What noise? I was in a rural area taking this photo of one and even then, this close you had to listen carefully to hear anything: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

Morons. I saw some on the weekend and drove as close as I could get to them to check it out. I was within getting messed up range if a blade came off and I could barely even hear it. This was rural with zero background noise as well. It’s almost like the complainers have never seen one in person.

Here is a pic of how close I was: https://ibb.co/rmQRmyZ

What, no Atari Lynx?

Same! I pay nearly double what I was paying for 100mbps but it’s worth it. As soon as the service was enabled in my building I signed up straight away. In the same place 3 years ago I was only getting 14mbps as my only option!

Agreed that close helps in general but 200-300ms isn’t really that noticeable unless it’s something where latency is important. I’m also surprised that some of the larger instances aren’t using Cloudflare for caching. If things like images etc… are cached all over the world then I doubt anyone would notice any speed issues.

Close to you? I’m running my own instance in France and I live in Australia. It works great. The problem is overloaded instances.

You mean the games/midi port.

I’m surprised some large instances aren’t using Cloudflare. It takes a few minutes to setup and the added benefit of caching alone is worth it. Let alone the bot/ddos protection.
