Thank you robert, but way more than dozens of folk were and remain more involved in the effort. For starters Jim Gettys fired it all up, and like him, I'm mostly retreated to the sidelines, working on other things. Perhaps in 2021, with a new administration and FCC chair, and so many families stuck at home... will be the year the average user will finally get gear that does more of the right things, especially for videoconferencing, by default, led by the smaller ISPs in competitive markets.
I've never figured out how to get the message "more out"; we ran a funding drive once that got more PR. Half the donations I take from https://www.patreon.com/dtaht go to keeping the flent servers alive and the other half buys top ramen. I just lost my dinghy in a windstorm and can't even get "home" at the moment, and one of my big frustrations from the harbor vantage point whenever I manage to get back... is having to run cake in front of my cell phone in order to make it behave... and another is to see all the very poor offloads from major manufacturers that claim an SQM implementation that doesn't actually work.... But all grousing aside: THANK YOU VERY MUCH for open sourcing a set of tools that help out a smaller ISP. We're all in this bloat together, and by sharing code and ideas we can make for a faster, more reliable, better internet, for everyone. I am quite behind on reading the bloat list, and this thread made my day. thx On Thu, Jan 14, 2021 at 9:59 AM Robert Chacon <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > I am new here, my name is Robert.
