So, by way of answering my own question, I found this map, which lets you work it out for yourself. Interesting stuff.

Which brings me to the question of how to benchmark now that I can make good guesses. Speedtest to US and Europe?

ETA: For those that follow, what I did was spin up multiple gluetun instances, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, hook them to firefox with FoxyProxy (different ports, duh) and compare speeds on https://librespeed.org/. Bottom line was the bottleneck was my ISP (surprise!!)

Still, I suspect there are ways to leverage crap internet to useful torrenting.

I'd be going through Singapore to get to Japan, so I doubt that'd be better... Hmm maybe, after looking at the map, it might actually work out better, depends on how saturated the direct cable is I guess.

Time Bandits is great so far and does justice to the original.

Umbrella Academy final season just dropped, wacky fun, also time travel among other stuff.

The Dragon Prince also dropped a new season, beautiful (in multiple ways) animated story.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End : Slice of life anime with interesting thoughts on immortality and a great feel.

Exploding Kittens pulled it together by the end.

If you missed Scavengers Reign, how 'bout don't :)

If you do this (and it's a good idea) also record it, replay and make notes later. The more forms you learn in, the better the recall and understanding.

Investigate tailscale, run your phone's internet thru your pihole when you're out and about, or set your phone's dns to dns.adguard-dns.com. No-one should have to live with that crap.

Heh, welcome, look around, think a bit, you might find something useful to do.

Truthfully, I usually double-check with Strava heat maps to see where people are actually riding...

Yup, the proof of the strong version (the full Reimann hypothesis) very likely lets you brute force large prime factors. This is a slightly stronger weak version, but has lots of interesting new bits in a field that has been stagnant for a long time. Those functions were going away on Q-day anyway, and we already have functions that are resistant to both, but now there are two Damoclean swords hanging over all that encrypted data the NSA and others have been hoovering up for years.

Basically depends on if it's legal to unilaterally record in your jurisdiction, if not the apps won't be made available on pain of lawsuit. Nothing stopping you using speakerphone and recording with something else tho. Again, depending on jurisdiction, you may need to CYA with 'your calls may be recorded for training purpose'. Note that unilaterally recording (i.e. without notifying the other party) is often a felony.

I like this rundown better...

Agreed, if the bandwidth is better than bad it's way better, also, Wayland support.
