Poal is back baby!

Please refresh your browsers cache to see all the fancy new stuff!

So this update went amazingly smooth, it was like butter really.

Thanks to @AOU for all his hard work and dedication. I believe at this point you all personally owe him a 🍺.

Lots of new stuff this time around, thanks to the guys at phuks too for all their hard work on throat. @polsaker should also receive a big thank you from everyone.

Now some stuff @AOU did and some stuff came from the updated throat source. If you have questions or you find bugs feel free to ask questions here and post bugs to /s/poaldev

Everyone thanks for being here and I hope the downtime wasn’t too much of an inconvenience.

Sincerely yours boobs2

Yeah well I moved into a house that I bought. Really nice feeling btw. Well so I called up the utility company and got those changed over and they said “hey did you know you can’t get fiber from at&t through us for 50$ a month” and I replied “hell yes I want fiber!” Well then I spoke to at&t and they said it’ll take 20 days to get it installed so for the first week I called every day trying to get a sooner install date. It wasn’t happening so here I am in this new house with no internet until the 16th. I’m only having minor withdrawls.

I have mixed feelings about fiber - but it's probably not going to be a situation I need to deal with before I'm dead.

I have DSL with decent download speeds - for my needs. My upload speeds are abysmal.

But, fiber can only be bent at a 30 degree angle before it breaks and it has serious degradation after like 20 degrees. At the same time, I've seen my telephone lines encased in ice, plowed into a snowbank, and I still have connectivity and about normal speeds.

I have wind and solar, not because I'm a dirty hippie but because the grid is that fucking unreliable. My phone line stayed in the snowbank for like two weeks, long after the power company removed the tree and restored their lines and service. Copper gives no fucks. Fiber? Not so much.

I'd love to upload video. Ain't happening. My upload peaks at like 1 Mb/sec. Sometimes, if the server is close and the declination of the moon just right, I'll get like 1.5. Usually, it's like .5 to .75 and this seems to saturate my bandwidth, making using this connection impossible. (I have two DSL connections on distinct lines, one for guests and one for me.)

Well I’ve never had the chance to have fiber before this. So I’m taking the chance because upload speeds. Out of the gate I’m at 25 up with a static. Sure it has it’s limitations but so does copper. Don’t get me wrong copper has been good to me. Fiber however will get me upload speeds that I could never dream of on copper.
