Many users will know all this as I have been around for over 9 years so to them sincere apologies, but there are a few new users around [welcome!] who don't know about me.
I am a retired C and machine code programmer, packed that in 20 years ago, made a pittance as a consultant for a few years until ill health forced me to give up work.
For the past 7 years nearly I have been semi confined to bed although I can make it as far as the bathroom next door. I have various sorts of pain and also chronic fatigue syndrome which is just a posh way of saying that I feel incredibly overwhelmingly tired some of the time. I am on a lot of extremely powerful drugs for pain which mean that I am pretty out of it a lot of the time.
I have big problems with concentration and memory.
I have three extremely long IP-bonded ADSL2 lines with the ISP AA (aa.net.uk). I love my IPv6 and everything also has a global routable public static IPv4 address too as I have a decent sized routable IPv4 address block from AA which I got (they give IPv4 addresses for free!) before a good while ago before IPv4 really started to run out. I use a Firebrick FB2700 router and am currently switching to 3 * ZyXel VMG 1312-B10A modems instead of the DLink DSL-320B-Z1 modems I have been using for about five years. I get just over 3 Mbps sync rate downstream from the new ZyXel
modem, reality is 88% of that. The other modems are set to be replaced but give me 2700-2800kbps sync rates. I get a combined real 1.20-1.30 Mbps IP usptream and the Firebrick router combines the upstream pipes into one efficiently load-spreading all IP packets. Single TCP connections in both directions go at triple speed; I don't need three conversations/activities/users to see the benefits of triple line goodness, it works on a single straight download without even multiple TCP connections in use.
I use an iPad Pro (large screen model) solely, for absolutely everything. I write code in the Textastic editor.
That's about it. Might explain some of my oddities.
