This used to happen to me occasionally and my way around it was getting a smart outlet and connecting it to my neighbors WiFi. If I was ever away and there was an issue I was still able to reboot my router thanks to that and it saved me several times.

I started self hosting when I had only 100Mbps down/10Mbps up. For about 5 years years I told my friends and family that I didn’t have fast upload speeds so if several people were streaming at the same time there could be issues. Beggers cant be choosers, so they got what they got. That being said, I always tried to get smaller files so that less bandwidth was needed and that helped a lot

I lived alone so 100Mbps down/10Mbps up was plenty for me and I wasn’t going to upgrade to a faster plan. I also worked from home with those speeds without any issues and I would have continued with that internet plan if I still lived there. My new place includes 1.2Gb down/up so bandwidth isn’t the bottleneck for me any longer.

I use an iPhone simply because I refuse to use google services any longer, not because I’m delusional about apple caring about privacy.

I might get shit for this, but I used ChatGPT to generate the code for a basic, single page, html/css, static website.

I use email as an analogy. Most non-tech people are familiar with the idea of there being different email providers so I use that concept to describe the fediverse.
