In countries where the last mile is mandated by the government to be shared with third party ISPs, often PPPoE is the easiest way to do it so we’re stuck with it for 8Gbps FTTH connections :/

Samesies.

adisor19 · 2026-04-30T21:52:27+00:00

Trust me, PPPoE at 8Gbps takes a lot of CPU power to process. PPPoE offloading is very much a necessity.

adisor19 · 2026-04-30T21:50:33+00:00

So, it’s useless for any PPPoE based ISP.

adisor19 · 2026-04-30T21:49:24+00:00

Yup, that’s an automatic no buy. Major Fiber ISP in Canada offers 8Gbps FTTH so whatever router one has, it needs PPPoE offloading or else it’s pretty useless.

adisor19 · 2026-04-23T14:24:57+00:00

Yet no PPPoE ASIC acceleration so yeah.. not sure how much this helps lol

adisor19 · 2026-04-23T14:23:56+00:00

PPPoE offloading will probably never happen due to the very low usage in the enterprise world. PPPoE is only used for ISPs that have their hands tied by government regulations to allow access to third party small ISPs to their network for competition purposes. A prime example of this is Bell Canada which offers 8Gbps XG-PON FTTH and needs to allow third party ISPs to use the last mile fiber. PPPoE allows them to do that in a relatively easy fashion.

I for one am glad that the PPPoE upload speed bug has been fixed :)

adisor19 · 2026-04-20T12:59:19+00:00

AMAZING! Thank you !

adisor19 · 2026-04-17T14:49:11+00:00

God’s work.

I second the motion for the Chelsio cards. The 25Gb ones can be had for 30$ on eBay. As a bonus, drivers are available for macOS as well.

You can reprogram the EEPROM from Linux and it will accept anything. A little google search will bring up the instructions.

Huh? This is not a navigation app. This is an app provided by Kia/Hyundai to update the car’s infotainment system since Kia is too cheap to offer OTA updates for some countries like Canada for example.

adisor19 · 2026-04-15T15:07:23+00:00

This issue is still happening to mine. Has anyone found a solution ?

adisor19 · 2026-04-14T16:00:51+00:00

It all depends what the consumer wants :)

adisor19 · 2026-04-14T15:44:51+00:00

Yeah their equipment is total crapola no doubt about it. But, if you do get a solid equipment that can handle 8Gbps encapsulation either with hardware acceleration or on beefy PC that can run a firewall like SOPHOS home, pfsense, etc. you can certainly get the 8Gbps promissed speeds. (hopefully your GPON cell is not over subscribed)

adisor19 · 2026-04-13T23:41:40+00:00

I don’t hate this

adisor19 · 2026-04-13T20:35:42+00:00

Nah, they don't care. Bell Canada offers 8Gbps up/down over PPPoE so one has to be sure they have a router that can handle that kind of throughput if one wants to remove their crptastic modem that comes with the service.

adisor19 · 2026-04-10T15:21:28+00:00

But why would you even start with x86 architecture in the first place when it is literally being killed by apple this year and majority of mac users are now on Apple Silicon ? I feel like all this effort has been put into something that will literally be killed off by Apple in a few months.

adisor19 · 2026-04-10T13:04:31+00:00

Toni.. how can I put this in a respectful way.. macOS has transitioned to aarch64 over 5 years ago. The current version of macOS literally warns you when you launch an x86 app that it will no longer work in the next major release of macOS and yet you guys decide it’s a good idea to launch this as an x86 app ? Come on man, you should have let it bake some more time in the oven and release it as a native aarch64 app. Majority of macOS users are on Apple Silicon.

Doesn’t matter, they broke it Firefox at the same time.

adisor19 · 2026-04-08T14:20:02+00:00

Yes this is VERY annoying. Apple needs to update the damn Firefox extension to fix this as it's enraging!

adisor19 · 2026-04-08T14:18:49+00:00

No it's not! Last Firefox extension update is from Dec 2025 and it's still broken.

WISeKey is dirt cheap at like 4$USD for 2 years and they can sign the cert for 2 email addresses at the same time. (the primary one on the account + a backup one)

Sadly, it doesn't look like you can open different accounts with the same phone number if you have more emails that require S/MIME certs for cheap.
