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 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.

Gives me a download speed, but no upload reading. Tried it three times. Not that impressed

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 This got my speed wrong by a factor of 15.

@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 bookmarked for future consideration.

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.
