Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Depends on your use case there are multiple factors that guide internet use cases
Gaming: latency, loss
YouTube/movies: bandwidth
Video chat/voice chat: latency, bandwidth
Remote desktop/game streaming: latency, bandwidth, loss
Web browsing: bandwidth, latency
DNS latency can be a multiplier for browsing the web, a website can include artifacts from other websites, which then can include other websites, which then can include other websites. Each one of those would require another DNS lookup, and round trip time to the website itself etc. however, DNS was architected for local caching, so only the first lookup should be slow, and then afterwards you should keep that DNS information for future lookups so it's not going to feel too bad once you've warmed up the cache
Rule of thumb: under 100ms feels fine, over starts to feel a little sluggish. Over 300ms and you change your behaviors, and you really feel it.
Thanks for the clarification
