You'll get faster download, but your upload speeds drop off a cliff

Use another fan to make the wifi circular, then your upload speeds shouldnt be hindered

Then you add ping by changing the path

You can counter those with a pingpong bat.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

If you play pong online, your ping will be super low.

Genius. Where’s your GoFundMe?

If you make a series of tubes, you can route from the router and reroute back to the router, creating an information highway through, what we call in comp science, a "loop". Depending on which side you install the turbo, you can replicate the same tech your ISP charges extra for in "speed boost". If you go bi-turbo—one in inbound and one in the outbound tubes of the loop—you can generate effectively unlimited speed, where onlyfans used in your inbound and outbound tubes limit based on their RPM. This is why I use RC plane turbines. It's loud, but I'm streaming YT in 480.

If you put all this in a very small tube that you can easily plug into your router and your PC, then we've got real innovation on our hands!

I'm interested to learn more about this. Any article I could read?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That's absurd. You don't need to route to or from your router. That's it's entire job. Do you also run computations for your computer and speak on behalf of your speaker? Complete madness.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes I do, computers calculate okay but I'm different

[–] boCash@lemmy.blugatch.tube 1 points 1 year ago

I bet you fing too, you monster.

I'm no expert but from my experience it is the other way around: Upload speed increased, Download speed decreased. Which makes sense because the outgoing data is boosted by the wind whereas the incoming traffic has to overcome the wind. If you want to increase download speed I suggest placing a hoover behind the router.
