why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests "Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).
The open source alternative: LibreSpeed. No tracking scripts, no GPS harvesting, no profile building, no ads and no data sold to anyone."

@rikviergever I'd like to use it but no servers available to me except in the fascist state to the south. Can't use it now but ookmarked for future consideration.

@rikviergever Given that librespeed’s closest test server is a 14 hour flight away, it’s a noble idea but entirely impractical.
But you still understand the warning that a corporate "internet speed test" is a strip search by chimps?
The speed test that doesnt sell images of my underwear and bank pin # is not as useful at guessing my internet speeds.

LibreSpeed doesn't have a good selection for Ping for me either, but once you use it with a certain server, you can compare later to see if the ping has gotten worse. LibreSpeed was very accurate at telling my upload and download speeds.

@rikviergever I generally use fast.com , and while I am sure it does the same overcollection of data, it’s Netflix, so they already know. But I will give this a try.

@rikviergever Accenture was that final nail for bugtraq too. it had some sort of zombie resurrection by them that went nowhere.. https://seclists.org/bugtraq/2021/Jan/
2021 was when Accenture pivoted from tech-aquisition to AI-everything. I'm not surprised projects from that year immediately died.
Blame Thiele for become Sweet's best friend.

@rikviergever Is there an alternative to Downdetector?
-
Is this working for everyone? Just hangs on looking for server.
@mastodonmigration @rikviergever same (uk)

@rikviergever This got my speed wrong by a factor of 15.
@kf0are @rikviergever not as bad here but still a factor of >2 (compared to fast.com). Download only, upload was pretty in line.
Guessing the server has its outbound link saturated?
