@rikviergever And of course, accessibility is… meh. I wonder, why almost all open-source solutions are so careless about accessibility?
@menelion @rikviergever replacing "open-source" with "unpaid volunteer with hyper-specific skillset" might help explain it? Same for design.

@rikviergever You know what it also doesn't have? Screen reader accessibility. It's pretty much unusable with any screen reader for various reasons, unlike Ookla Speedtest which works very well. BTW, this sucks.

@rikviergever Given that librespeed’s closest test server is a 14 hour flight away, it’s a noble idea but entirely impractical.

@rikviergever Hmm, not bad.

Interestingly I get higher numbers from this than Speedtest gives me, including the ping.
@the5thColumnist @rikviergever for the ping lower is better.

I already use OpenSpeedTest, but there's no alternatives for when I ssh into my servers and am limited to the cli.

@the5thColumnist @rikviergever librespeed regularly overreads - my ISP runs their own instance for testing and it frequently tells me that my internet is faster than my devices or connection can physically do.

@rikviergever Does libre mean my eyes have to bleed?

I know that's what I though that was weird, two readings better and one worse

@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.
