Hi!

Why is the forum so slow in the last days???

The browser is waiting and waiting for

http://code.jquery.com/

to answer. Any information out there?

This is in the html page of the forum

Quote<script
src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
But is a CDN, so if you save it it should load from the cache of the
browser the next time...

@lainz

But it is slow since two or three days - before it was quicker.

Why are things getting worse and not better?

Hi winni, the forum works fine for me, allways. Did you change any
settings of your browser?

Here in NL it works as expected.

Hi everyone,

The site is also getting stuck for me when trying to load the jquery
stuff.  Seems like the CDN is having problems or my ISP is throttling
it or something...?

Hi!

The rumours say that a main router in Amsterdam for the traffic to US
is broken and slows down
everything.

Perhaps the Dutchmen know a little bit more.

As far as I know AMS-IX is at least triple redundant for all possible
SPOF's. So that rumor seems unlikely the case for any reasonable
amount of time: should be minutes, not hours.
Also I can't find anything that points to that in the amx-ix logs and
statistics (these are public)

I have seen gmail slow recently, simple operations in ms cloud that
fail after several minutes because it takes too long.
Perhaps the cloud is breaking up and after that we can see the sun?

In case it matters, I'm in Spain and everything is as quick (or slow,
depending on your p.o.v.) as always.

This is still happening a *lot* in the US...

Depends on where you are, but indeed, some parts of the US have
extremely slow internet speed compared to western Europe or south-east
Asia.
Blame the baby Bell's. It bothers me too every time. Spoils
holidays...< > Here in the Netherlands average speed is 100 Mb and
fast improving.

Note jquery should be cached in your browser. If you clean the cache
too much make an exception for jquery.

Thanks for that.  I don't usually clean the cache too often unless
Firefox is doing this automatically, but I'll investigate the white-
list.

The funniest thing I heard about how to get an Internet connection
comes from Kansas/US:

They make a TCP/IP connection over ham radio. With a Linux kernel
driver.

Somewhere documented in the early kernel docs.

It is good that Europe is so small!

I'm an amateur radio operator and have heard of a few interesting
radio-based technologies for data transfer.  Ham radio is a very fun
service/hobby if you are blessed with the time and money for
equipment.
