The networking related box on my wall was indeed an ONT. The repair person showed me the fiberoptic cables. Absolutely amazing. Think of how much good we could do if we channeled all our hatred into innovation. Man…
ISPs have crazy levels of granular control of and insight on the settings of the ONT. The other person, whom I overheard on the phone, was talking about “hard coded speeds” and shit.
ONTs have a failsafe against overheating. I guess it’s “simply” their CPU throttling? When I asked what the actual diagnosis was without dumbing it down, they said that the problem was both a hardware and a software one. The ONT is so old that it is failing: when run at 1 Gbps for prolonged periods of time, it throttles and hard locks its speeds to 100/100 (Mbps) to protect its hardware.

All in all, I got a new one. Now, where were we with the Linux ISOs. :3

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This isn’t an advice forum

Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
