Bandwidth Sharing FAQs + Troubleshooting

[upbeat shuttle]

here's the list of servers that I've noted that people have had issues with before;
Nottingham, Virginia, New York, Atlanta

[jovial fiber]

my nightmare = Virginia

[upbeat shuttle]

the entire US is a nightmare that made itself into reality

[jovial fiber]

i mean United States is the nightmare of humanity so.... ||i'm joking pls||

[silver cedar]

I wonder if the testing server location has anything to do with where your bw comes from

[jovial fiber]

no

[tardy swan]

It’s true

[jovial fiber]

i'm in france but librespeed has no french server

but i have sgs FR

[upbeat shuttle]

yeah the server chosen for the speed test and the server chosen for SGS is not correlated

[jovial fiber]

lol imagine be in europe and have sgs US 💀

[silver cedar]

I guess a better speed test correlates to more bandwidth earnings

[carmine flume]

i enabled bandwidth sharing, but it isn't doing anything, i have 72.5 Mbps down, 89.4 Mpbs up and 39.0ms ping

[pulsar arrow]

virginia has been fine for me

but i dont like the ping

[upbeat shuttle]

hm

could be an intermittent issue, or they've already fixed it on their end

or those particular servers were just being overloaded at the time

though nottingham I can say for sure has had many issues from several different people

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd recommend reading through the pinned posts if you haven't already. It contains all of my knowledge about Bandwidth Sharing :)

[jovial fiber]

i wonder if we could replace librespeed-cli with a modified version that - wait gonna stop there

[pulsar arrow]

nottingham is fucking shite!

no offense nottinghamers

[jovial fiber]

use london so

[silver cedar]

bw spike jumpscare

[pulsar arrow]

yeah i just reload a couple of times and salad picks london

or even germany

or amsterdam

[jovial fiber]

taht's so scary, particularly when it drops

[pulsar arrow]

gradual scare

im still hoping that banwidth goes back to pre-april earnings

just stable 3.6 dollars a day

maxed bandwidth

[jovial fiber]

long scare

[jovial fiber]

i want that

[pulsar arrow]

yeah

havent had it since the start of april

[jovial fiber]

gonna pay to be a salad customer and create infinite bandwidth job so i can earn 2$ a day

[pulsar arrow]

infinite money glitch

but with 10% salad cut

[jovial fiber]

arghh

just buy the company

[pulsar arrow]

fr

salads only worth like 40million

[jovial fiber]

not a lot

easy

[pulsar arrow]

ez

just make back the money with bandwidth sharing

[jovial fiber]

STOP CHILLING AND GO WORKING

[still tendon]

i get that and it gives 0.10/24hrs

because i cant find containers

for very little bandwidth ill take it

[modern panther]

u just need to calm down

[jovial fiber]

gonna hit this process with a baguette

[upbeat shuttle]

oh no not the secret french technique!!

[jovial fiber]

MOUAHAHA

i'm still shocked by this emote

[still tendon]

the french technique is to get no bandwidth jobs 😔

quite counter intuitive

[upbeat shuttle]

catgaros

[carmine flume]

[jovial fiber]

UWU

help-

[modern panther]

r!uwu

[jovial fiber]

in fact

they should not fix librespeed problem

so people get bad speed and are not running sgs

[little saffron]

25 dollar a day

ez

[gleaming shell]

That happens to me atleast 17 times yesterday

Happened*

[jovial fiber]

see my message below to fix it

this

[gleaming shell]

Damn no pin

[little saffron]

how big should be the jitter in ms ?

[jovial fiber]

i would like to 😔

[jovial fiber]

like 1

[little saffron]

ivgot 14

tf

but ping 40

[jovial fiber]

i have 1 but idk if salad use it

[little saffron]

mmm

[tardy swan]

[gleaming shell]

dayum

is it libresped on the right or someting else

[jovial fiber]

yes librespeed on the right

[gleaming shell]

oh it is librespeed

[tardy swan]

librespeed is ass

[gleaming shell]

librespeed sucks ass

[little saffron]

Salad should switch to okoola or how they name

[tardy swan]

ookla 💀

[little saffron]

Ye

[tardy swan]

okoola

[gleaming shell]

okolokoaolslolaoa

ignore s

[little saffron]

Oklohoma

[jovial fiber]

why all people here are alpha testers

[tardy swan]

because swagness is unmatched

[jovial fiber]

the first line of the ndm log what is it ?

ah you need to let salad to run it for it to work

[tardy swan]

what

[jovial fiber]

i guess ;-;

[tardy swan]

what do i paste and where

[jovial fiber]

just read the message ;-;

[tardy swan]

i don't get it

what do i put after --ipv4

[jovial fiber]

not here

go in the salad folder

then in workload-definitions

[tardy swan]

[carmine flume]

more apps > notepad or download VS code

[tardy swan]

what do i put in

[jovial fiber]

before putting something

[tardy swan]

save a backup

[jovial fiber]

do you know which server you want ?

[tardy swan]

yeah i think

the one in helsinki finland

[jovial fiber]

ok

[pulsar arrow]

im like half a story away from my router

[jovial fiber]

that's id 22

[tardy swan]

where do i put it

[jovial fiber]

so at the line args: "--ipv4"

[tardy swan]

yes

[jovial fiber]

add --server 22

[tardy swan]

inside the quotations?

[jovial fiber]

yes

[tardy swan]

with or without a space

[jovial fiber]

with a space after ipv4

[tardy swan]

ah

--ipv4 --server 22?

[jovial fiber]

yes

[jovial fiber]

yes so

save it with another name like ndm1.yaml

[tardy swan]

the other file is gone now

[jovial fiber]

what ?

[jovial fiber]

in ndm do you have the edited thing ?

[tardy swan]

now its there again

bruh im so confused

[jovial fiber]

x)

ok so

delete ndm

[tardy swan]

now what

the others are yaml files

[jovial fiber]

and rename ndm1 to ndm.yaml

[tardy swan]

?

[jovial fiber]

yes

uh wait

no

[tardy swan]

should i convert it?

online?

[jovial fiber]

you can't rename file extension ?

[tardy swan]

no

[jovial fiber]

ok

right click the file and go to properties

[tardy swan]

yes

[jovial fiber]

then remove the .txt at the end of the name

then apply

@tardy swandid you died ?

[tardy swan]

??????

[jovial fiber]

yes perfect

apply

[tardy swan]

still a text document

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[tardy swan]

should i just convert it online

[jovial fiber]

no

[tardy swan]

in so confused

im

[jovial fiber]

wait i need to find a way to allow you to edit extension

ok

click on the threee dots

then settings or options

then screen

[tardy swan]

???

im on windows 10 😭

[jovial fiber]

sad time

[jovial fiber]

go in view

[tardy swan]

after that

[jovial fiber]

just screenshot

[jovial fiber]

i don't know the interface ;-;

click the box file name extension at the right

[tardy swan]

the options?

[jovial fiber]

here

[tardy swan]

file name extensions right

[jovial fiber]

yes

[tardy swan]

ok

after that?

[jovial fiber]

then retry to edit the name of the file

[tardy swan]

there

[jovial fiber]

nice

now if you kill salad.bowl in the task manager and you go see the ndm log

at the beginning of the log file you should see the --server 22

[tardy swan]

this?

[jovial fiber]

yes

it will redo a speedtest

[tardy swan]

will i lose anything else? 🥲

[jovial fiber]

no

[tardy swan]

yippee!

[jovial fiber]

nice

[jovial fiber]

now you can uncheck the box if you want

[tardy swan]

its useful to have

[jovial fiber]

as you want

[tardy swan]

thanks tho

[jovial fiber]

np

glad to help

[upbeat shuttle]

nice

i might actually add this to one of the guides

[jovial fiber]

YES

[tardy swan]

do it

[jovial fiber]

i agree 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000%

[tardy swan]

its really useful

I vouch 🤚

[jovial fiber]

(and credit me :p) ||joking||

[tardy swan]

why wouldn't they give you credit

[upbeat shuttle]

[jovial fiber]

see ?

[tardy swan]

i think i lost my gpu container tho 😭

nvm

[jovial fiber]

rip

[tardy swan]

site didn't update

so the latest one was really low

with 5 minutes left

[jovial fiber]

gpu container win a lot ;-;

;-;

[jovial fiber]

i love the "garbage.php"

that describe librespeed perfectly

[tardy swan]

i want sgs to use more data

[frigid reef]

too bad, suffer im taking it

i want my 3070 container back :(

[tardy swan]

nuh uh

not getting it

[hollow vortex]

Anything above jitter 30 is bad. You will have audio / video offset

[tardy swan]

slowly going down

[jovial fiber]

slowly becoming mad

[tardy swan]

yipp

ee

[jovial fiber]

😭

[tardy swan]

at least its something

[pulsar arrow]

i just got a random couldnt connect to salad's servers notification

but i can stil open the app

salad wildin

[carmine flume]

i have the same rates

[jovial fiber]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;-;

[carmine flume]

except i have a GTX 1650

[pulsar arrow]

uuh is salad down?

[carmine flume]

it seems so

i can't connect either

[pulsar arrow]

https://status.salad.com/

yep

[jovial fiber]

same

[pulsar arrow]

its down

but sgs is still running

so dont close your apps

itll reconnect automatically

and youll still get paid

this like the 3rd time

or 4th

salad's went down

[jovial fiber]

it says operational

[pulsar arrow]

check the graph

most annoying bit is salad keeps spamming you with the notifs

[tardy swan]

trollolol

[pulsar arrow]

salad is adding body sharing

guys!

[tardy swan]

no way!

brits would make nothing (joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[pulsar arrow]

[tardy swan]

salad is down yeah

[white knot]

dat means spike reward once again

last time was 13.3 cents in 15mins tho

[neon blade]

GUYS IF YOU HAD A WORKLOAD BEFORE THE OUTAGE YOU SHOULD BE FINE

[pulsar arrow]

@frigid reef Sgs client keeps restarting

like it made a new log file

[tardy swan]

SPIKE

[pulsar arrow]

there were no crashes in the previous file

THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY TOO

I KEEP LOSING MY JOBS

[jovial fiber]

the spike in question :

[pulsar arrow]

it restarts around 6.30pm

for some reason

like wtf

[shrewd terrace]

how did i keep that job

[tardy swan]

because you don't lose them...

[shrewd terrace]

how

[tardy swan]

because you don't lose them

[shrewd terrace]

its gone for 15 minutes

clearly lost

[tardy swan]

yeah

no

you just had a skill issue

[shrewd terrace]

wrong

bob never has skill issue

[tardy swan]

https://tenor.com/view/plink-cat-meme-stare-staring-gif-27529560

you had a skill issue

[shrewd terrace]

not possible

bob never has skill issue

[tardy swan]

https://tenor.com/view/blahaj-cat-gif-26619752

well you did

[shrewd terrace]

its not possible

[pulsar arrow]

I didn't

[shrewd terrace]

skill issue

[pulsar arrow]

you probably stole mine

[shrewd terrace]

yes

[little saffron]

idk what yall have

1 device

got 3 more

[stiff wedge]

lol i got sent to gemany

but upload is still better than nottingham

so sgs can run :D

[jovial fiber]

USE LONDON

[pulsar arrow]

are you getting good earnings like before or is it super unstable

[pulsar arrow]

[stiff wedge]

Not sure still no jobs going through yet

[stiff wedge]

You can’t choose

[jovial fiber]

you can choose

[stiff wedge]

How

Tell me

[jovial fiber]

How to force librespeed cli to use the server that works the best for you :
1 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/ and try different server, find the one where you get better speeds
2 ) Go to https://librespeed.org/backend-servers/servers.php and with the country, city and provider find the id associated to your server
3 ) Go in the salad workload-definitions folder on your pc ([Drive]:\ProgramData\Salad\workload-definitions) and open ndm.yaml with notepad, find the line : args: "--ipv4" and add --server with the id
You get something like : "--ipv4 --server 49" for id 49.
4 ) Save the file, if you have permission problem save it to another name (like ndm1.yaml), delete the old one, and rerename your new file to ndm.yaml.

[stiff wedge]

Too much work

[jovial fiber]

bruh

you do it one time

[stiff wedge]

Why do all these when I can literally let it run until it gets good speed

[upbeat shuttle]

this method takes a couple of minutes at most

[jovial fiber]

because sometimes it stuck at choosing a bad server

[stiff wedge]

I mean it only took me 2 tries

And I don’t restart the laptop

So I don’t see a reason doing that very soon

I’ll once I really can’t get good server

[stiff wedge]

But thanks anyway

[upbeat shuttle]

I'd rather spend 3 minutes making sure that it actually works, rather than quitting salad, restarting saladbowl, and then restarting salad, in hopes that it might work

alrighty

[jovial fiber]

i've done it because after restarting for the 20th time and still getting Virginia got me crazy

[hollow vortex]

stoked made 1$ from just BW last 24 hours - us

more then usual 40-50 cents.

[pulsar arrow]

ordered new internet

the engineer will only come by on the 10th of may

[hollow vortex]

fiber?

damn thats few weeks out.

least you got an appointment. lol

[upbeat shuttle]

not as bad as mine though 😔

had to wait like 2 months total

[hollow vortex]

mine only took a few days cause i had to reschedule on my behalf.

[pulsar arrow]

yeah but it's still assymterical

spelt that wrong

500mbit down and 75 up

why is openreach like this

[hollow vortex]

bruh 75

[upbeat shuttle]

pain

[pulsar arrow]

I don't have anything faster than that at my place

unless I go for gigabit

[upbeat shuttle]

I'm getting 500 symmetrical

[pulsar arrow]

and that too is 1gig down 135 up

[hollow vortex]

im getting 600 symmetricl

[pulsar arrow]

lucky

but no demand

I mena

less demand

I shared 171gbs today

[hollow vortex]

yeah if not many want it, why try to put the cablling and etc into it

[pulsar arrow]

that's a high for this month

[pulsar arrow]

I mean it's fibre

[hollow vortex]

i did 150 gig , double what i average in 24 hrs.

[pulsar arrow]

mm

I seem to get the sucky jobs

hopefully that'll change once I get the new internet

[hollow vortex]

almost 1 TB uploaded in 19/20 days.

[pulsar arrow]

nice

mines 5tbs in the last 30 days

but hardly any this month

[hollow vortex]

i can do 175 TB a month. That aint nothing !! bring it !! LOL

[pulsar arrow]

true

imagine having such demand

[hollow vortex]

id get 1 gig sym, and install 3 more lines of fiber.

[pulsar arrow]

I read somewhere that salad had 935gbits of bandwidth

as in upload bandwidth

[hollow vortex]

unfortantly. go any higher its a business line and wont work so i'd have to cut back into doing additon service lines lol

[pulsar arrow]

ozua can get 2gig symmetric

[hollow vortex]

cant here not for residential only up to 1 gig

least in my aera.

[pulsar arrow]

openreach in another 10 years: 1gig symmetrical available now!

[hollow vortex]

i can get 3 gig cable down residential but the upload is crap.

[pulsar arrow]

yeah they don't want you running a server off it

they'd want you paying more for that privilege

[hollow vortex]

yep lol. plus its copper. cant handle the upload.

[pulsar arrow]

yeah

I still don't get why mines not symmetric

[hollow vortex]

fiber has 2 lines in/out

[pulsar arrow]

it's fibre

if the same cable can do 1gig down

or fibre

it should be able to do the same backwards

[hollow vortex]

yeah not on cable /copper its a little different

[pulsar arrow]

yeah on copper you can't really get many wavelengths or frequencies in

in fibre however, it's easy

[hollow vortex]

if you got fiber and ur only 75 up, ur getting jipped .

[pulsar arrow]

maybe their competitor virgin will add fibre to my area and then they'll offer symmetric

[hollow vortex]

they selling that upload speed to business for higher price, take it from residential. kinda makes sense lol

[pulsar arrow]

but that'll be prob a loong while

[pulsar arrow]

true, but it sucks

duopoly basically

there are smaller Isps with their own cabling but a ton of them only exist inside london

[hollow vortex]

yeah, in a buss to make money. when more demand for upload thruought your neighbor it'll increase or a new company comes thru

[pulsar arrow]

hmm

I'll wait for a year and see

24 month contract though

[little saffron]

me got 10 gig up down at my home server

[pulsar arrow]

I had the same for virgin aswell but cancelled because they were increasing prices

[hollow vortex]

same , cutting my other ISP this month, paying the difference. i'll make what i paid to shut it off back in a few months . cause this fiber is actually cheaper then my 1 gig down cable i also have.

[hollow vortex]

lol

[pulsar arrow]

but hey, I got free Xbox game pass for 6 months with it

[hollow vortex]

i can gig 10 gig for 400$ a month

[pulsar arrow]

pricey

[hollow vortex]

yep

looked into it for another side hussle lol

[pulsar arrow]

anywayz I don't think I'd ever come to breaking 300mbit on whatever I do

unless Im downloading games/torrents

[hollow vortex]

yeah, hardly ever will unless your doing that

or mad ppl over and all streaming on there phone lol

[limber dome]

@pulsar arrow what is your Download/Upload speed?

[pulsar arrow]

lmfao yeah

currently it's 132/22

[limber dome]

what is your earning like day to day basis?

[pulsar arrow]

uh 1.5 USD a day right now

that's because my internet crashed a couple of times

this week

but typical pre-April earnings were around 3.6 USD

[limber dome]

Oh nice!

[pulsar arrow]

yep

[limber dome]

i trying to figure out whats the best package for me

[pulsar arrow]

but I have yet to get back that sort of workload

I wouldn't bet a lot on bandwidth sharing tbh

[limber dome]

like is it better to focus more on download speed stuff or upload speed?

[pulsar arrow]

it's incredibly hard to predict

[pulsar arrow]

it uses both

so there's no max upload/download rn

altho I've not seen sgs use more than 300mbit on anyone's machine

[limber dome]

i mean that's fine, im just thinking how it works. Since i talked to someone else on here earning like $4 on bandwtih alone with a 500/35 Speed

[pulsar arrow]

The higher the speeds, the more you earn basically

but not guaranteed at all

what country are you in

[limber dome]

Im in the UK

[pulsar arrow]

oh well, like I said, it's really hard to predict

I guess you have to try it yourself and see what you'd earn

we don't know what the set price per gigabyte shared is

[limber dome]

i assume they are working on integrating more into it?

[pulsar arrow]

Probably, most don't know much about the backend of bandwidth sharing

salad likes to keep most things a secret

[gleaming shell]

Asymmetrical<<<

I know damn well I spelled that wrong too

[pulsar arrow]

low sgs demand<<<<<<<

[gleaming shell]

United States<<<<<<<

Basically low sgs demand

[pulsar arrow]

sgs client keeps going from 0mbls to 40 for a few seconds

[pulsar arrow]

as I've noticed, the states do be getting more demand

[gleaming shell]

(Nonexistent) sgs client keeps going from 0 binary digits per second to 0 binary digits per second

[pulsar arrow]

real

just buy the premium version

only for your soul

[gleaming shell]

sgs premium when

Imma just #1021501189977813002 message

[pulsar arrow]

could it be your isp blocking sgs

disable the firewall on your router

[gleaming shell]

no I don't think its blocking sgs

[pulsar arrow]

sgs doesn't want to come home 🥲

[gleaming shell]

I forgor router login

[jovial fiber]

i just realized that no isp in France provide symmetrical high speed connection

[pulsar arrow]

it's prob admin

[pulsar arrow]

create your own!

[gleaming shell]

The place I live has fiber internet coverage

And I'm thinking if I should convince my parents to switch to fiber

[pulsar arrow]

sure.. if it's priced well enough

[jovial fiber]

the most you can get is 8gb down 1 gb up

[gleaming shell]

And it's cheaper I think

[pulsar arrow]

💀

thats

more than enough

[gleaming shell]

Idk the process thi

[pulsar arrow]

head to the website and buy

idk US isps

Comcast?

[gleaming shell]

prices*

[pulsar arrow]

At&T?

oh

[jovial fiber]

for about 50$ a month

[pulsar arrow]

give me your address I'll send you the prices

[pulsar arrow]

that's cheap

well not cheap

[jovial fiber]

yes

[pulsar arrow]

but value

[gleaming shell]

I'm trusting you
IM TRUSTING YOU
dms one sec

[pulsar arrow]

wat

oh

I was kidding but sure

[gleaming shell]

oh

Well of you want to find gud isps for me I can send you my address if you want I guess

[jovial fiber]

i like France for things like this 🤣

[pulsar arrow]

I can just show you

[gleaming shell]

ok

[upbeat shuttle]

what

[pulsar arrow]

head over to an Isps website

[upbeat shuttle]

just go to some ISP comparison website

yeah

[gleaming shell]

k

[pulsar arrow]

yeah comparison

forgor

then put in your postal code or whatever y'all use

[silver cedar]

@upbeat shuttle Hi

[upbeat shuttle]

hi

[gleaming shell]

huh

[pulsar arrow]

uh be careful

some carriers offer like gigabit

but it's usually like mobile

like on a SIM card type shi

I just put in a random address and it showed me that it had gigabit fibre on a highway 💀

[silver cedar]

honestly dont know if this will make me money or not

[pulsar arrow]

homeless people be running bw sharing fr

[silver cedar]

since im not supposed to be getting UK bandwidth

[gleaming shell]

homeless ppl shooting when

sharing*

[pulsar arrow]

you might

[silver cedar]

bidir is 0 right now but lets see

[pulsar arrow]

someone here connected to the US gateway and still got jobs

from the UK

[gleaming shell]

What if you earn the amount the ukers earn

[silver cedar]

I would be very happy

keep in mind I got sgs with 275ms ping though

[gleaming shell]

pc bsods for no reason

[pulsar arrow]

I bsod your pc

[hollow vortex]

hmm wondering if i change lib speed to run on a UK server - sgs will pick up UK jobs

[silver cedar]

37 mbps down and 24 mbps up

[gleaming shell]

I might try the manual server thing

[pulsar arrow]

oh no they're going to steal our jobs

[hollow vortex]

itd be game over if it worked.

[pulsar arrow]

but then the latency would make the customers disappointed in salad and leave

[hollow vortex]

id auto matically get 1 gig sym asap.

nah i have low ping to UK

[pulsar arrow]

hmm

[hollow vortex]

im at 6-8 ms now.

[pulsar arrow]

under load?

[hollow vortex]

10ish under load

[silver cedar]

while I did manage to get UK bandwidth I dont have jobs yet judging by the 0 bidirthroughput

[pulsar arrow]

nice

[hollow vortex]

exactly

[pulsar arrow]

it'll take a while to get jobs

[hollow vortex]

i'd be under 100 ms for sure.

not with my trust rating and speed

and uptime

[pulsar arrow]

I've got to be on the shittiest job rn

[gleaming shell]

I still have a copy of my sgs client before I reinstalled salad

[hollow vortex]

remember that plays a part in it

[pulsar arrow]

salad consumes bandwidth every 15 seconds

[hollow vortex]

my uptime and speed gotta be damn wera near perfect for salads trust scoring

[pulsar arrow]

found this 2021 document

[silver cedar]

lol I just realized I got UK bandwdith with the los angeles server

the fuck

[pulsar arrow]

ye

[silver cedar]

ok lets not try the nottingham server

19.2 mbps up

[pulsar arrow]

hell naw that shit sucks

it seems to a salad issue

[silver cedar]

lets see if london works good

[pulsar arrow]

if I try it on the official websiee

it's great

[silver cedar]

ooh shit london is a good server

nevermind its 10mbps down

[hollow vortex]

what server you use leon?

on lib speed

i'll test my ping

[pulsar arrow]

london

[limber dome]

@hollow vortex whats your download/upload speed?

[hollow vortex]

600/600

[silver cedar]

143 ms ping on london

[pulsar arrow]

London, ams, Germany works fine

amsterdam

Nottingham servers suck

[limber dome]

and you get $1 a day from it?

[pulsar arrow]

tincan's in the usa

[silver cedar]

hmm frankfurt might eb a good server

[gleaming shell]

us bad

[pulsar arrow]

so what they get won't likely be reflected in your case

[gleaming shell]

And so is my internet

[pulsar arrow]

London should be good

[hollow vortex]

shit had my ip lol

[pulsar arrow]

my jitter is worse lmfao

[gleaming shell]

Still staying away from ho**ygain tho

[silver cedar]

i got 10 mbps down on the librespeed exe so it wasnt good

[pulsar arrow]

weird

[limber dome]

i assume diffrent countries = diffrent pay rate bandwith jobs.

[pulsar arrow]

ehh, different demand you could say

different levels of demand

[silver cedar]

oh shit frankfurt is really good, and only 133 ms ping

but 1ms jitter

[pulsar arrow]

💀

[gleaming shell]

#1021501189977813002 message (for later use)

[silver cedar]

i think ill stick with the frankfurt server

[hollow vortex]

in another country. I am going to try it

[pulsar arrow]

librespeed doesn't decide what gateway u connect to

[silver cedar]

now ill just wait for sgs

[pulsar arrow]

so you can try a local US server

[silver cedar]

sgs still opened when i got 10 mbpd down lol

[pulsar arrow]

butchered the upload

[silver cedar]

alright now we just wait

[pulsar arrow]

@gleaming shell be crying rn

[limber dome]

You get $1 with this connection?

[gleaming shell]

a

[hollow vortex]

it did, however it changes, goes 100 - 200 - to less then 100 then up to 200 then down. so. i'd be fine .

[pulsar arrow]

probably packet loss

well

[hollow vortex]

max, average 40 cents but dont even max out my connection.

[pulsar arrow]

try it and see

[silver cedar]

now I just gotta wait for the ultimate test, actually getting bidirthroughput

[hollow vortex]

yeah assuming the signal goes satilite to the UK

[silver cedar]

this might be the greatest thing that has happened to me

[jovial fiber]

nope

[gleaming shell]

can't wait until the US gets better demand
(If it will even happen)

[pulsar arrow]

in 200 years

[hollow vortex]

what i got right now, but i got 2 bw's runnning my ps5 running and my 2 tvs running and my phone connected . So pretty frekain good

[pulsar arrow]

wat server

[limber dome]

@pulsar arrow i assume you uk too? or usa?

[hollow vortex]

NY

[pulsar arrow]

UK

[gleaming shell]

Yeah he's uk

[hollow vortex]

one i usually test off of.

[pulsar arrow]

im a damn Brit.

(immigrant?

)

[limber dome]

Same

[pulsar arrow]

funnily enough I want to leave the country

but goodnight now

[hollow vortex]

lol

[pulsar arrow]

GL with your bw @silver cedar

[hollow vortex]

im gettin drunk, and ganna play rocket league with my one boss and kick his ass and talk smack.

[silver cedar]

thank

who knows maybe ill be rich in the middle of the night

[hollow vortex]

SGSin lets gooooo

fkin sexy when it does this

😄

[gleaming shell]

What's that app called

Might get it if when my sgs downloads

[hollow vortex]

its called killer inteligen. center only avail for Killer network cards

[silver cedar]

still no bidirthroughput lol

figured out why I wasn't getting bidir, sgs doesn't work over ipv6 lol

switched back to US BW, speedtest results and ping are much better anyways

[pseudo fog]

my god ozua are you 350/40 1000/1000 500/500 100/50 decide it 😭

[upbeat shuttle]

:)

I used to be 150/30, then got a second ISP at 450/450, but I actually get 500/500

[peak terrace]

i find germany is consistently good

[safe loom]

12/12

[gleaming shell]

i wonder if this could break salad in any way

[final torrent]

I tried this and now for some reason the new ndm log file is not appearing in ndm folder even after restarting salad bowl in services.

[silver cedar]

you probably broke something else then

(inside of that file)

[safe loom]

i'd hope ozua has already asked ericka about it

it does sound like "abusing the system for better jobs blah blah" but its just fixing what salad doesn't

[upbeat shuttle]

pfft

I know the answer is probably going to be a 'no please don't do that'

better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission!

[final torrent]

I edited it exactly how the other guy did when R go play was helping him.

Oops forgot to turn ping off soz

[silver cedar]

sorry man idk

[safe loom]

based

it worked

so

L

[silver cedar]

salad should be kept open to being fucked around with like this tbh

all we want are good speedtests

[safe loom]

well no

[uncut bluff]

i hope i can get the speeds i want

[safe loom]

cause yes it fixes the problem, but no that could abuse salad into giving you better workloads

thats why ericka will be like no!!!

[pseudo fog]

you tos breakers

[safe loom]

though only way for them to patch it is do checksums or manually generate the file each time which, they won't do

why is jared in the thread

💀

[final torrent]

Exactly, on librel speed test website (with same server as ndm) I get the upload rate as around 20 but on ndm I get less than 4🗿

[silver cedar]

usa bandwidth back

Yay

anyways I need a residential uk ipv4 if I ever hope for UK bandwidth

only had a ipv6

which was enough to start sgs UK but not actually do the bandwidthing if that even is a word

[upbeat shuttle]

sharing

[gleaming shell]

Still waiting hwre

Here*

[silver cedar]

expedite the process by using the librespeed hack

[gleaming shell]

I already got a good enough spedtest

Now I wait for sgs to download which idk how long it will take

Last-last reinstall I got sgs client downloaded in around a day or so

But now idk what happened but I'm really hoping it's not another 4 months without sgs

[silver cedar]

getting sgs is really random and sporadic for me

today just happened to be a good day

mainly because of the librespeed hack

[final torrent]

this is what its supposed to be right - args: "--ipv4 --server 54"

[safe loom]

yes

thats what i did

[final torrent]

hmm, not sure why the ndm log file isnt showing up then

[safe loom]

by default its just args: "--ipv4"

[final torrent]

yes

[upbeat shuttle]

remember the more you talk about it, the more likely they're going to catch on and either patch it, or tell you to stop recommending it to others :)

[final torrent]

👀

[safe loom]

well then they can fix it their damn self :)

it's their own job :)

[final torrent]

or just use ookla instead of libre

[safe loom]

they can't

[upbeat shuttle]

no they're going to patch the ability to change the server ourselves without fixing THE ACTUAL PROBLEM

[safe loom]

oakla has licensing stuff

[uncut bluff]

salad moment

[safe loom]

i wouuld recommend they use fast.com

[gleaming shell]

librespeed bad

[final torrent]

quite dumb lmao

[final torrent]

ohh

[upbeat shuttle]

salad would rather not pay ookla, so they use the free and open source librespeed instead

[safe loom]

so ill leak their source code for salad bowl

:tomfoolery:

[safe loom]

fast.com, free and open source too

and backed by one of their prime customers

[upbeat shuttle]

funny thing though, when we asked ericka about this, she said that she can't say :/

[silver cedar]

step 1: cause salad collapse
step 2: ??
step 3: no more free money

[twin vector]

fast.com also kinda sucks

[safe loom]

or 1 cause salad collapse 2 make a better one

[safe loom]

better than having a broken server

[twin vector]

true

[gleaming shell]

ddos everyone so you get the bandwidth

[silver cedar]

fast.com gives me much better results than librespeed

[final torrent]

i got download 100 smth and upload 40 (on fast.com) perfect but on libre its just🗿

[silver cedar]

idk if a cli version exists though

[twin vector]

Children
Individuals under the age of 18 may utilize the service only with the involvement, supervision, and approval of a parent or legal guardian.

Fast.com ^^

lol

[gleaming shell]

The when

[silver cedar]

like that will ever happen

[upbeat shuttle]

well salad is technically 18+ so whatever

[final torrent]

🗿

[silver cedar]

we dont talk about that

we can talk about it in one year though

[final torrent]

i guarantee 50% of salad users are below 18 lmao

[upbeat shuttle]

ofc

not my issue though

[twin vector]

Atleast my pc speed isn't as inconsistent as AT&T

[upbeat shuttle]

plus there's tons of services / websites / games that people casually ignore the age rating for anyways

[final torrent]

yep

[twin vector]

Damn, usually it's worse than this

[uncut bluff]

it's 18+ and 13+ with parent permission right

[upbeat shuttle]

probably

[pseudo fog]

isnt it "if you own the pc"

[silver cedar]

why did I only just realize I can play rated M games now

(as if I didnt before)

[uncut bluff]

and that

[upbeat shuttle]

ayo look at the member list

[pseudo fog]

What about it

[upbeat shuttle]

what's Jared doing in this post

[gleaming shell]

deletint it

jk]

[limber dome]

what do you get from bandwith usage?

[gleaming shell]

it has now been a bit over half a month without sgs client, really dosent look good

ill still wait tho in case it randomly appears

[twin vector]

uhh I usually only run it while I'm awake, so an average of 20 cents a day

[safe loom]

that’s what i said

[safe loom]

.

ivan’s in here too

pj too

pj ivan and jared

[carmine flume]

the voices

[safe loom]

you don’t have to quit salad

you can do it while salads still running

[safe loom]

yes

53k nodes 935gbit/s of bandwidth ~120mbps average speed

[little saffron]

Traffic in uk dropped again or ?

[tardy swan]

Maybe

[civic fern]

In italy, BS works for 30-45 minutes a day lol

BS is Bandwidth Sharing

[pulsar arrow]

bandwidth sharing is bs confirmed

[jovial fiber]

i'm gonna find a way to steal all workloads

[pulsar arrow]

jobs

I almost stepped on my routers plug and tipped it over

imagine my fury

imagine the possibilities of my enraged mind

sgs client is that one fragile kid that refuses to cooperate when someone breathes on them

[jovial fiber]

sorry i laughed

[pulsar arrow]

r

[jovial fiber]

why you get 0.02 per 15min ;-;-;-;--;-;--

i get nothing :-:

[pulsar arrow]

high paying job

got lucky ig

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

just imagine if this was on my faster broadband

but it's alright

[jovial fiber]

imagine having a bad connection for your country

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

I just looked at my hosts list on glasswire

and apparently found a customer

a cloud customer

Akamai Technologies

if it's using salad, well great

[jovial fiber]

what

how do you see that

[pulsar arrow]

uh

on glasswire just go to

usage tab

and then find sgs client

click on it

and on the top there's hosts

there's different ips there

if you click on a IP and place your cursor over it, you can see a 3 dot menu where it says search online

glasswire finds the thing for you

but not always

some are anonymous

AWS is on salad?!1

or it's just a redirect

[jovial fiber]

redirect probably

ahhhhhhhhhh

[pulsar arrow]

there's cloudfront on it

which is a Amazon product

but who knows

[jovial fiber]

i have problem installing glasswire

why my browser crashed

[pulsar arrow]

that's not supposed to happen

did you download it from the official page

[jovial fiber]

why windows defender say to me it has no access to internet

wtf

[pulsar arrow]

yeah it's stupid

[jovial fiber]

windows be like :

broken

[pulsar arrow]

I'm staying on windows 10!

I hate the windows 11 look

so ugly

[jovial fiber]

i prefer it i was tired of squares x)

[pulsar arrow]

it seems too modernish

[jovial fiber]

does glasswire replace firewall rules ?

[pulsar arrow]

if you uncheck that option

it does nothing

[jovial fiber]

'-'

[pulsar arrow]

I uncheck all the time to prevent it from messing with shit

if you have anything added to the firewall manually, it'll remove it

so I'd uncheck it

[jovial fiber]

is it not unchecked by default ?

[pulsar arrow]

it's not checked by default

[jovial fiber]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[pulsar arrow]

or so I hope

[jovial fiber]

when the app is installed where can i see this option ?

[pulsar arrow]

uh

I mean if it's installed

it won't change anything

I don't know if there's an option inside it

unless you buy premium they won't let you use their firewall

so dw about accidentally blocking stuff

[jovial fiber]

what is it ?

is it managing windows defender firewall or it's own ?

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

it's like a firewall you can use to block stuff

[pulsar arrow]

I'd disable it

[jovial fiber]

hmm

[pulsar arrow]

ain't very useful unless you need the convenience to block certain apps hogging your bandwidth

[jovial fiber]

windows firewall settings don't seem to have changed

[pulsar arrow]

yep so it didn't end up changing stuff

[jovial fiber]

there was a box "reset widows firewall to default settings" but it was unchecked by default

but i didn't read other boxes ;-;

[pulsar arrow]

the other boxes I think say stuff about a clean install

but don't worry I don't think there's anything serious in the installer

i don't even use glasswire half the time

windows data usage center is pretty good

[jovial fiber]

what is that

apiproxy

[pulsar arrow]

the second one is sgs

idk about the first

click on it and try to look it up

probably some windows process

[jovial fiber]

amazon '-'

[pulsar arrow]

[jovial fiber]

so aws

[pulsar arrow]

Microsoft be selling your data

[jovial fiber]

nah give me jobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbssssssssssssssss

[jovial fiber]

that's sgs hosts

[pulsar arrow]

oh

then it means Amazon is on there

keep it running and you might see demand

[jovial fiber]

lol

in few days ;-;

[pulsar arrow]

altho honestly I've never seen anyone in France or Italy post their earnings on bw

from bw*

[jovial fiber]

i already got a job few days ago it last 30 minutes at peak i was earning 0.01 / 15min if i remember well

[pulsar arrow]

oh nice

Well, you might get another one

[jovial fiber]

;-;

i'm online about 10 hours a day so...

three times aws

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

Well that's huge then

they're expanding into the UK

or maybe Europe too

[pulsar arrow]

sgs is really hard to get right, so I'm always on 24/7

I suggest you do the same too

[jovial fiber]

i can't really

[pulsar arrow]

oh

Well if you get lucky you might get jobs the moment you get on

[jovial fiber]

and in few days i will no longer have unlimited data ;-;

hope on cpu containers

[pulsar arrow]

yikes

what's your cap?

[jovial fiber]

data cap ? 200go

on mobile

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

Oh

mobile data might not work due to the packet loss and stuff

I'm gonna be in the same boat as you in a few days lol

[jovial fiber]

honestly i've done a test with 2000 packets not one was lost

[pulsar arrow]

I won't have broadband until the 10th of may

[jovial fiber]

ahhh

[pulsar arrow]

under load is a different story

it would depend heavily on a lot of factors

[jovial fiber]

maybe

[pulsar arrow]

like the weather and shit

[jovial fiber]

oh

[pulsar arrow]

yep

[jovial fiber]

another aws gate

[pulsar arrow]

lol nice

I just lost a job and got another one immediately

[jovial fiber]

so maybe

salad gateway choose the client

then the client connect to you by the aws server

[pulsar arrow]

I think the data flows through the gateway

I'm not sure

or...

[jovial fiber]

but the gateway is in usa so for europe this is not smart

[pulsar arrow]

I think the ones that send data send it directly to you

and when you upload that daya

it goes through the gateway

because in my glasswire hosts

[jovial fiber]

to verify that we need a worload ;-;

a you have one

[pulsar arrow]

it says I've uploaded like 58gbs to sgs-rose-gateway

but received like 58mb from it

[jovial fiber]

ahh so you may be right

[pulsar arrow]

yeah

but its all bundled up in task manager as sgs client

you can't see the clients which are being served

for privacy

[pulsar arrow]

that's behind the gateway

makes sense

[jovial fiber]

so there are actually client that send one packet then say nope ;-;

[pulsar arrow]

they're waiting for demand from the customers that the clients serve

so if there's no demand, they're probably just on standby

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

or it's just salad trolling with false hope

[jovial fiber]

come on customers france is a good country you should test things

[jovial fiber]

;-;

[pulsar arrow]

you should go into companies and tell them to use sgs 💀

[jovial fiber]

lol this may actully be more effective

[pulsar arrow]

yeshh

harass them into using sgs

@kindred helm fart stupid butt pee

[jovial fiber]

bruh

i start having hallucination on sgs traffic

i should stop looking at that empty graph

[pulsar arrow]

I've been looking at mine for like 30mins

[still tendon]

salad has a whole page on why to use sgs

if you check their website

[pulsar arrow]

true

[still tendon]

france bandwidth sharing at 18mb/s works so well

tbf it paid around $0.40 in that time

[pulsar arrow]

decent earnings

you might see higher earnings later down the road

if demand picks up

[jovial fiber]

what

;-;

stop stealing my jobs

[jovial fiber]

WHAT

for 2gb ?

[pulsar arrow]

uh

2gb for 40 cents?

no way

[jovial fiber]

i don't think so

[pulsar arrow]

if that was the case I should have 20 bucks rn

[jovial fiber]

i shared 36go tuesday

[pulsar arrow]

Im on 66 rn

[pulsar arrow]

salad really do be trolling you

[jovial fiber]

lol do you want an aws server ?
