I have never done this myself (not a lot of drywall in europe), but I found this video which seems to describe exactly what you want youtu.be/FonedKgrP5U?t=224
So you want the available bandwidth to be monitored in “real time”, but you don’t want constant speed tests to happen. Then you mention a script doing a speed test.
You’re gonna have to choose: Either you run some kind of Speedtest on a regular basis, which will give you somewhat “real-time” results, or you don’t do it, and you don’t have real-time data as a result.
A very quick google search brought up this power shell script, that even formats the results for PRTG:
So, a speed test can show bandwidth but so can a graph, when you see the flat line, you’ve hit your limit.
Use interface counter graphs to map out b/s and then you’ll be able to see where you’re actually maxing out. If you’ve hit a bandwidth limit on a connection but your graph is still spiky it’s not you it’s them.
But if he wanted that historical data for, say, making sure an ISP delivers promised bandwidth, then unless he’s constantly maxing out the connection, the usage graph is going to be fairly useless.
Yes, but doing a speed test while you’re using the link isn’t an accurate test, so it’s extremely difficult to be able to show bandwidth issues with anything other than a graph. If the ISP is not giving you your full bandwidth, you’ll flatline below the full bandwidth on the graph. If you are using half your link and do a speed test you will only get results for about half your link unless you drop all other traffic to do the speed test.
I really enjoyed Voyager and still watch episodes regularly. For me it was the idea of being so far from the “known universe” and what that would be like.
@catshit_dogfart Voyager was my main Trek when I was younger and will always be my favourite. Janeway was awesome, and it's location in the Delta quadrant, far from Starfleet, made for some unique story opportunities.
When Seven was introduced, I was already bitter about the move Sliders made to remove a beloved character and bring on a hot woman, so I was really upset that Voyager did the same. But grew to love the character over time.
I’m still really sad that Kes was written off. Got no problem with Seven, but Kes was a good character on her own.
But, Neelix was pretty crap until Kes was removed from the show. Without her to be constantly jealous of, Neelix finally started to be useful and interesting.
I think the character of Kes was very poorly written. It limited the acting range of Jennifer Lien, which is only really given a chance to shine in the episode Warlord.
I’ve been on a marathon since April. In order I’ve watched Discovery season 2-4, SNW, TNG, DS9 and am at season 6 of Voyager. I’ve also broken up Voyager with the first 6 movies.
I did manage a couple of ToS episodes but I honestly find ToS hard to watch.
Voyager is feeling like a slog so it’s not background viewing while I work from home and I’ve switched to The Orville for my evening viewing recently with a plan to watch Babylon 5 after.
I too felt Picard season three was heavily overhyped, especially by many of the Star Trek specialty sites.
In general though, I welcome nonspoilery general early reviews, especially from less specialized professional reviewers.
In this case, I am noticing that the more mainstream reviews are the most positive and the specialized genre or franchise reviews are working for a more measured tone than with Picard.
Is it because the genre reviewers have felt the disappointment with of some of fandom with Picard, or is it because they are at heart TNG era fans? Makes one wonder.
In my own case, I can forgive much of the overly positive reviews of Picard because I really found the early episodes the strongest, with the writers doubling down on everything that most concerned me in the back half of the season. It was episode 6 where the wheels of plot and character began to come off and nostalgia was given the work of heavy lifting TNG fans through to the end.
With SNW being episodic, six episodes would seem to be enough to know if the shows continuing strongly or hitting a sophomore slump. No one yet has called slump. So it seems that those who liked season one should expect to be satisfied with season two.
I have had a subscription to YNAB (you need a budget) for years now. It’s simple and straight to the point for exactly what we need. It pulls everything from my bank accounts smoothly. My partner understands it and is able to easily use it, which is extremely important.
I tried Mint and have suggested it in the past as a free alternative to folks who need help budgeting, but it tends to be too complicated for most that I’ve suggested it to. And that’s even after setting it up for them and showing them basic usage.
I used the GNUCash for a while. As a manual option, it was good for when I was importing everything to Quicken.
I no longer use quicken or manually import anything.
There’s not a lot of products that I’ll recommend, but I can say that YNAB is worth every cent.
