    Pensei que poderiam gostar de saber que existe um novo servidor em São Paulo onde a população é maior e com Latência Baixa também no o Rio de Janeiro. 

    Em 2025, o Brasil tem 183 milhões de pessoas conectadas à Internet talvez o 5º do Mundo? e talvez o 3º onde passam mais tempo na Internet.

    Hiya the site is great, thank you so much
     
    Can there be an automated test for the latency? I want to see if latency varies throughout the day. So like the automated test for download speed that checks every hour, can there be one for the latency? 
     
    or if there's a way I can automate it myself, is there a command line I can run to do the latency test? or does it only work through the browser?
     
    Thank you!!

    TestMy.net started in 2001... but my first internet speed test became popular in 1996, on accident.  Was pretty crazy trying to run it early on, not knowing anything.  No real tools to even learn online yet either.
     
    I hope one day more people find TestMy.net again.  I'll just keep building.

    CA3LE got a reaction from LigmaBalls in My Dream Server is a Gaming PC   
    Over the decades I've always strived to have the fastest servers I can afford to host TestMy.net.  My journey with hosting has taken me into a colocated datacenter where I pay for cabinet space, power & internet connection and bring in my own equipment.
     
    When I first started using colo I built everything out with brand new, current generation servers and networking gear.  Over the years I added servers and built up a High Availability Proxmox cluster.  Adding servers I found that eBay was definitely my friend.  Now I could afford servers that only a few years earlier often went for nearly 10X what I was able to get them for "off lease".  Each time I added a new server, it was more powerful than the previous.
     
    Over this time I'm adding more resources, things are getting faster.  Even my first servers were full solid state, employing arrays of 4 Samsung 850 Pro SSDs.  But things really started flying with the advent of Optane storage.  A game changer... really, it was too good. (and now it's gone.)
     
    Fast forward to 2024.  I get a generous donation of servers, the person doesn't care what I do with them, they're just happy to give them to me.  They're newer than my servers, 2nd version into the next generation of CPU.  So quite a bit newer.  I get one of them setup with the same Optane storage I run in my current master server and start benchmarking. 
     
    It's not really faster and doesn't justify switching servers.  Sometimes it was slower.  I assume because my servers are higher clock speed, highest end of the CPU SKU.  Scratching my head, I really thought being so much newer I'd get a much better result.
     
    I take the storage out and pop it in a gaming rig... another machine recently donated to me by a friend.  This PC happens to have hardware from the same year as the server I just tested.  I run the same tests and had to do a double take.  Not only was it faster on the gaming rig, it was WAY faster.  This made me reimagine my server topology.  Maybe it was time to build with consumer hardware.
     
    Here I had a setup that was a fraction of the cost that was out performing in real world scenarios.  The better single thread performance and higher clock speed, faster memory... it all makes sense. There's more competition in the consumer market, things cost less.
     
    So I sold those servers to someone who can better utilize their resources.  Extremely nice servers but for my use case here, they had too much of everything.
     
    As soon as they were sold I ordered parts for my next build.  Promptly put it together and got to testing.  Minimum, 2.5x faster at everything.  Average is 3x faster and in some cases I've seen over 6x faster.  It has completely blown me away.
     
    What is the magical setup?  Nothing much really, minus storage I think it cost my about $900, including a piKVM setup to remotely control the machine.  Much less than any of my used enterprise servers cost me.
     
    Here's my build.
     
    AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MT/s CL28-34-34-89 Optane 905p (zpool) and Samsung 960 Pro (OS) ASUS Prime B650-PLUS WiFi ID-COOLING IS-40-XT Black - 47mm Height Low Profile CPU Cooler EVGA 750 BP, 80+ Bronze 750W PSU Rosewill 2U Server Chassis RSV-Z2900U BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B 2PCs 19in Individually Addressable  2GB Raspberry pi4 Geekworm KVM-A8 (kit for building a piKVM) 10G network card  
    It's only a 65 watt TDP CPU! very easy to cool in a constrained (or SFF) build like this.
     
    A single half dollar sized CPU out performs all of my dual Xeon systems.

     
    Yes, I can't run a terabyte of RAM with this setup but I don't need to.  My current systems are 128GB, I figure I only really really need 64GB with this CPU backing the system. 
     
    Especially in single thread performance the new Ryzen system blows all my other systems away.  This type of gain will be felt everywhere, especially in mysql queries and responsiveness.  It still excels in multithread and even has a larger cache than my Xeons.  It really wins for me on every level.
     
    And yes, RGB was a requirement.  I never put RGB in a computer, not really my thing.  But I figure this is a gaming PC at its core so for $13, why not.  I can control them in linux but it adds a bunch of unnecessary packages, I like my base PVE to be as simple as possible.  So default rainbow it is.
     
    lambo-2025-lq2.mp4
     
     
    I haven't been necessarily doing it wrong all these years.  Without the low TDP and high performance of the 9700X this build would be more challenging.  These are recent developments.  There's basically zero redundancy in this server.  So, it also helps having a PVE cluster that has a bunch of reliable machines, to back up this consumer grade hardware.  
     
    I can't wait to bring Lambo into production!

    Sorry man, for some reason it got installed in my datacenter. 😜
     
    This server is running TestMy.net now and I definitely feel the difference.
     
    Had a few networking issues over the weekend.  My pfSense server had issues, something bugged out.  It was my oldest VM, maybe it had some kind of legacy setting somewhere causing issues.  The backups were jacked as well, so I just deleted it and put up a new one...
     
    Not really a big deal, that pfSense router is really only for my internal, non-production network and none of TestMy.net services run through it.  So not a big deal, right?  WRONG!  Side effects are real.
     
    I didn't realize that before I had specifically setup pfSense without IPv6.  With the default install it ran normally... until I got to my datacenter and reset my switches.  I do this sometimes when I visit, just to get a fresh boot on them.  Well, most things came back up normally but TMN was down.  Everything indicated that it should be up, I'm getting pings all over the place as expected.  Why isn't it working?
     
    Very stressful situation.  This should have been a routine visit to quickly rack the new server.  But now, nothing is working right!  To make matters worse I'm on my laptop where I'm already not as comfortable working.  Connected with hotspot on my phone and I realize that I only have a USB-C cable for my phone and no USB-C on my laptop.  My battery's at like 30%.  So now it feels like Mission Impossible.
     
    I was running in circles at this point, so I took my hands off the keys and thought for 5 minutes.
     
    ... then came up with...
    "Default Route."
     
    I look closer at the networking on the host and client.  I then see an IPv6 address assigned to an adapter that should only have an internal IPv4 address.  This device is connected to a VLAN.  So traffic was trying to route out the adapter connected to VLAN.
     
    The gotcha is when an IPv6 address is assigned on the same adapter as an IPv4 address that takes an isolated route.  Another fix is to tell the adapter "never use as default route".
     
    A different VM had a spare network adapter that wasn't configured, had been sitting like that for years.  When this happened, it did DHCP, got an IP and then default routed to that adapter.  In that case it was an IPv4 address.  Same kind of issue, a little different.
     
    So I worked out a few kinks.  When it came down to it, lambo joined right into the cluster, replicated my VMs and migrated them without issues.
     
    The lesson for me, when you're flustered... take a step back and think.  The answers often surface.

    I was looking to see when Testmy.net started as I Swear (Even though my profile says 2009) I came across this site approx Sept or Oct of 2001 or 2002. I lost my login info and think I had to start over in 2009 as I know I used the site in 2005 as I was always testing the Internet at a club I did music for .
     
    Back to the Title, Being a site for 5+ Years prior to speedtest why do you think they have more visitors (or considered #1 Site to test)? I have my opinion.
     
    Also I have yet to have a ISP ever tell me to use this site though have had them argue with me about the results until I show the history and when the speed dropped as well as consistency in the results 
     
    My Opinion, I think a lot of people do not like the facts or truth even if ignoring it is detrimental , Would rather have results that match what the ISP says and they pay, when they get the accurate results more than likely it is not what they want to or have seen, Plus when you go say something to say Xfinity or Other ISP's that you feel the sped is not what you pay for they want you to test where they know they will get a higher speed and it is hard to argue with that unless you have been doing this awhile and have had to deal with all the scripts they read that state it is on the customer end,  I can list things till my KB wears out
     
    Honestly I think the only times I knew for sure it had to be either a Xfinity issue (Or 1 time iRacing Server issue) was thanks to be able to test here and use my history or results to compare with.
    Sadly until they make a set of test parameters/Rules as far as Internet Speed Testing  a lot of people will be missing out on the bigger picture about  their connection speed.
    I am just thankful we have Testmy.net as a tool to use as well as all the Time and $$ CA3LE has spent on the site
