Agreed, if comcast provides a testing server, test against that first. Cox did before, not sure about recently, but speedtest.net isn't bad to use to test either if you pick a correct server. They tend to want to test you against your locale, but as stated, understanding your isp peering egrees

Intel is always legit under linux. I use their nics to test at 40gb and 200gb, depending on the scenario. 1-10gb is pretty much without thinking fine with standard commodity hardware. Intel or most any vendor at 1gb is fine, even typically usb chinese crap nics are fine. Only at 10gb + do you

I use docker quite a bit. It's an intentionally crippled version of containers that forces you to obey certain design patterns. Sure you CAN get around them, but they exist for a reason. For sanity's sake, I suggest using docker-compose or some other form of automation to recreate your

Sounds like a bad partition being found that udev can't make sense of. Try deleting/clearing/fixing that partition? Do "ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid/" and see what device that is linking to, and see why it's broken in fstab or udev. -mb On Wed, Sep 5, 2018 at 12:20 AM, Jim wrote: > Whenever I
