now that i have found a way to silence the wifi on my connection, here is some clear demonstration of the benefits of not using wireless connections

my connection naked, via my ISP based in funchal:

and over my VPN, amusingly enough, connected automatically via morocco (which is one of the places cables go to from here, it's only 500km):

pleased to see that my kinda expensive VPS service does indeed do gigabit speeds and as such carries most of the capacity of my line through my VPS that i have here

seriously mad though, i mean, 500mbit download speed... who is even going to use that? that's more than you need for 4k video streaming... 

it's no wonder i have no problems hosting my relay for testing on these connections... the one at my previous place though, it did not have this much speed download, i think it was around 200Mbit

so i pay 50 euro less per month, get almost perfect nature silence most of the time except when the dogs are barking at the cats around sunset, and occasionally cars drive past, and there is sometimes tourists wandering past on their way to the arco de sao jorge hiking trail, and i think some stray dogs do a patrol past here... and my internet is more than 2x faster

ok i've doubled my housing cost for 5 weeks but this is so much better

the sound of the creek down in the gully and the ebb and flow of the sound of the ocean smacking against the rocks is so soothing
