I’m with you. Late 40s and no tech background. It took a long time for Reddit to attract people my age when I joined a dozen years ago. I hope the olds don’t take so long this time around
Maybe to avoid repeated questions like this there should be a set place on at least the home page to have a notice of potential issues. Sort of like a status of the general system, since there's a lot more going on under the hood than just a webpage loading. As far as real estate for such, right top under the settings seems fine for a line or so of text or something.
And it turns out that's exactly what is done. Just saw a notice about a planned outage tomorrow posted. I do think it should be at the top and not below all the subscription/magazine info though, and maybe a bit more "flashy" with an obvious border contrast or something.
Another edit: Okay, someone is either reading this and liking the idea, or it's total coincidence and they figured out it would look better.
Today kbin.social is blocking a huge list of domains just to get federation working again.
The reason for this temporally block is not to defederate, but rather to get the large backlog of 500k messenger queue processed again. Anyway, this does mean that kbin.social is federating again with other instances.
This is a temporary measure. Several users / developers are looking into how to better optimize the failed message queue, as we speak. Hopefully Ernest has eventually time to dive into solutions as well instead of workarounds, once his instance is migrated to Kubernets.

I think 10Gbps in general is the max. I haven't thought about that level of speed because it's expensive, for both the plan and the need to upgrade all my network equipment to support 10Gb.
I'm jealous, I pay like $33 for 600mbps after having opted out of paying from all the useless antivirus and filters and having my own router rather than renting.
I think different countries have different PPP, so I wouldn't say it's fair to compare directly like that. I think ease of access to such services and how much it costs in relation to wages is a better gauge.
I have 6Mbps (and it's not just me), if that gives you an idea on the pricing/tiers... (no other options, semi-rural USA internet, it's not even perfect service).
I don't believe fiber is available, or at least it doesn't seem to give that info (like it did before) that I can see now. Also, it's an old phone wire into our house and that's it (no ethernet jacks).
Poland here. Was quoted 2-3 months ago anywhere from 9.5% to 11.10%. Fixed rate for 5 years and then it would be updated to whatever the new rate will be.
I refused, gave up the purchase of a house till the prices will calm down (if ever), going to buy a boat to live aboard.
