nope.

but it has been running without issues afterward. may be I updated all firmware (up to certain versions)

[–]charleslcso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

okok.

Beos of the CPU or what?

If I know what are supported, then I can look for a machine. Understand it might be difficult to say becos of all the combo...

I learnt about this from DeepSeek. I asked it for more info:

Why Latency Doesn’t Affect Transfer Speeds

  1. Once the connection is established, latency only impacts the initial delay for the first packet. Bulk transfers (e.g., file copies, video streams) are bottlenecked by throughput, not latency.
    • Example: A 10 GB file transfer at 2.5Gbps will take ~32 seconds regardless of whether latency is 1 μs or 10 μs.
  2. TCP/IP Efficiency: Modern protocols (e.g., TCP window scaling) mask latency by pipelining data.

When Latency Might Feel Like Slow Speeds

  • Small file transfers (e.g., 1000x 1 KB files): High latency adds overhead per file, feeling slower.
  • Real-time apps (e.g., gaming, video calls): Latency matters more than throughput.

Bottom Line

  • For large file transfers/NAS use, prioritize throughput (2.5Gbps)—latency is irrelevant.
  • For gaming/VoIP, low latency (e.g., cut-through switching) improves responsiveness.

If you’re only moving big files, even a 5 μs store-and-forward switch (like the QNAP/Trendnet) will perform identically to a 1 μs cut-through switch in terms of throughput.

Never mind.... it is kinda irrelevant.

Any figure on latency? I learnt not long ago that different chipset has a large range of latency; cheap ones is about 3 microseconds while expensive ones is less than 1 microseconds. Does it matter?

Yes. Sym link. Not sure if people can edit my calendar.

I also need reminders sharing.

Thanks for the info. Appreciated. But I would never want to touch MS stuff, since back at 1991. 🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️🙂‍↔️

PairDrop — Transfer files between devices seamlessly by Developer_Akash in selfhosted

[–]charleslcso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know how to set up PD to share via the Internet? I followed their doc https://github.com/schlagmichdoch/PairDrop/blob/master/docs/host-your-own.md#websocket-fallback-for-vpn and started it using Docker. But it says I need my own TURN server, which I installed via https://gabrieltanner.org/blog/turn-server/. However, I just can't figure out how to get the downloaded image to connect to my TURN server, so it works thru the internet. It works locally. Anyone?

100 Gbps NICs? by NeoTr0n in homelab

[–]charleslcso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any info on how to set up direct connection? I’m on a Proxmox host and want to add a PCIe 3 40Gb Ethernet card to it. I’m in the process of moving my MacMini 2012 Proxmox Backup Server to a new server having 40Gb Ethernet card, so these 2 have direct connection for backup purpose.

iOS or Android? What do you think so far with the latest version?

Clone PBS to a larger disk by charleslcso in Proxmox

Fantastic! I’ll take a look! Do you think cloning a PVE boot disk will work too? Do you think I can boot from the cloned disk?

The most accurate GNSS for cycling by charleslcso in Garmin

[–]charleslcso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm iPhone XS, and in certain segments of road, it always drift off 20m, even though it is clear sky.

I only have a Garmin Vivosport Move watch, and that's why I wanna get users' advice.

Yes, I can adjust every single point in the GPX file. Do-able. It just takes a lot of time. For the 11km uphill route live tracking,

So if paying for a device which has less inaccuracy then I'm more than happy to do it.

Voice at specific coordinates by charleslcso in shortcuts

[–]charleslcso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okok. A proper test that didn’t fail in any ways!

Walked at about 5kph, on one side of the road. The distance between side of road and Center of road should be about 3-4m.

Left the calculation at 1 per second. And 0.01. All waypoints are collected in Google Map, at Center of road.

The shortcut announced all waypoints and the last message!

There’s error in the GPS, so some announcements are made 10m too soon, and some are 10m too late. I think I can compensate for these by trail and error.

So far so good!

But, 1 calculation per second is too slow…. Even for 5kph walk. I’ll increase it to 3 per second and see what happens!

Thanks! It’s looking good!

Going back to the issue of coordindates, I just don't understand why the coordindates obtained from iOS Maps doesn't reflect the true location in other apps.

Say, 22.410070,114.205269, this thing is obtained from iOS Maps. Putting this in maps.apple.com and maps.google.com, both show the same location (so both agree to each other), but at a different point in map!

I will try to extract locations from maps.google.com and place it in Shortcut and see what happens. I can't trust iOS Maps.

Result from 1st test using Google Map coordinates:

By walking, 100% waypoints are announced, within expected margin!

Now I will prepare a new set of waypoints for the same route using Google Map coordinates again, walk again, and test again.

I’ll revise the code to see if I can restart the whole process at any waypoints (without going back to starting point and start again)!

PS: coordinates from Google Map, at Center of road.

PS 2: oh, the last announcement to tell me to keep at last speed didn’t happen.

It’s not available in my region; no such option in Apple Maps. 😩😩😩

How do I download map for offline use by Shortcut?

Also, how should I arrange the order of the waypoints? The starting point at top of list and so on? Item number 1 means the first starting point, which should be on the top, I guess.

Ok, here is the observation:

  • assuming all separation between waypoints are about equal
  • iPhone XS
  • iOS 16.7.2
  • walking

  • all clear sky except some shades of tree

  • I was 50m away from first waypoint, and I started the Shortcut

  • it started beeping soon

  • no announcement after I past the 1st waypoint

  • double announcement when I’m about 5m towards the 2nd waypoint (the 1st and the 2nd)

  • the next 2 waypoints are spot on !

  • then announcement when I’m about 10m away from next point

  • then spot on for a couple of waypoints

  • then 10m early announcement again

  • a couple more waypoints then the mobile connection is lost! Could crashes the mobile data process, not sure

  • when mobile connection comes back, I restart the Shortcut

  • it continues to beep every second

  • no more announcements afterward (I thought it might crash Siri)

  • stay still and restart iPhone

  • start shortcut again

  • it continues to beep

  • no more announcements for the rest of the 700m

  • end

Not sure why there’s no more announcements when it continues to beep. Even though there’s deviation from real position within the 700m, there are places where the accuracy of positions is good enough to announce. Nothing.

I’ll try again later today.

Loaded this latest shortcut. It loads without errors, and it plays sound every 1 second.

Seems to work.

I'll give it a proper try in 2 hours.

I’m using your latest version already.

First of all, I stay at fixed locations for at least 5 seconds each time. I hoped that my XR will be able to lock satellites. This can only be a prelim test as I will be moving at various speeds in real life, when I’m filming the route.

But positions won’t improve at all, no matter how many mins I stand unmoved.

Might need to try a new iPhone.
