Well, technically anywhere from 5 to 40, but I still have a nice chance to grow old before libreboot starts building. Also, still slower than dial-up.

    Guix user pains. The packages download at that speed.

    It’s a tossup whether downloading Librewolf or building it will take longer

    Once upon a time I mirrored Project Gutenberg. As this was a pain having only 64kbit over ISDN, I was expecting great things from attending a LAN party where we actually had Ethernet speed connection to the internet.

    When I started my mirroring script, though, it was not faster than at home. Turned out that the mirror host limited connections to clients in unknown networks to 64kbit.

    Luckily I found another mirror host that had no such limits.

      They use grub and gnulib. Well, I could’ve also re-configured it to use only seabios but decided it’d be fun to play with grub as a payload.

    Try to use the Internet from UPC Slovakia. It’s going very slowly.
