Just finished building a Discord bot for a friend and hosting it on AWS.
Nice. I keep wanting to play with stuff like this but never actually stop and look up how to do it.
Here's the tutorial I used: https://anidiots.guide/getting-started/getting-started-long-version. It was pretty good for a starter. Most bots can run on AWS free too, so that is helpful.

It is SO hard to work when I'm in Houston on this dog slow Xfinity network. Speedtests show it now being so bad, but that's clearly being prioritized. Actual speeds are like 1Mb/s or something insane. Even video conferencing barely works.
SpeedTest gives us an upload of under 6Mb/s. OMG Comcast is the worst.

Comcast... 881MB file.. estimated download time 13 hours.

that's just the estimated time. You can probably shave a few minutes of that easy.

LOL, or it might take days. I let it run for a while, and that was probably accurate.

@scottalanmiller Why don't you watch all the Harry Potter movies?

I must have a special Comcast line in my apartment. I've always had good results with Comcast residential service where I'm at.

Things like SpeedTest always show it as working. But actual traffic is throttled to an insane degree.

Comcast has been throttling since NN was killed. That day.

I don't think you can stream movies here on Comcast, not enough bandwidth (remember how much it struggled just to do screen sharing yesterday!); and all of my BluRays are up in Dallas.

try a non affiliated speed test

And before that, they always fell back on the "best effort" clause in their contract.
50/6 service best effort actual speeds may vary.

Yeah. I mean when I'm downloading files, etc. the perceived speed is good for me.

That's essentially what I did. It's under 1Mb/s.

LOL - I'm surprised you can post to ML at those speeds

Anyone here ever work with MX Guard Dog spam filtering? Their pricing looks pretty good, and I really would like our company to step up from the hosted-in Alabama service we currently have (my bosses are way too nostalgic and keep vendors because "that's who we had when we were getting started"). Or does anyone have better suggestions for a hosted spam filter?
