In 2025, we launched the original #LibreQoS #Bufferbloat #Speedtest to give users and #ISPs a clearer way to measure #latency under load, not just raw #bandwidth.

Now, we are releasing Bufferbloat Test v2.0: https://libreqos.io/2026/03/23/libreqos-bufferbloat-test-v2/

We are dedicating this release to @mtaht

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that ISPs like Cox aren’t liable for users’ copyright infringement, even if they know it occurs. ⚖️
The decision limits “contributory” copyright claims, affecting music, film, and AI content enforcement while protecting user access and ISP neutrality. 🌐

So the last couple weeks have been nuts on keeping up with the news....but here's another that might have slipped under your radar and will effect basically everyone in the US. Your home router has basically been declared a security risk.

All This Has Happened Before - ByteHaven - Where I ramble about bytes

On March 23rd, the FCC quietly dropped a rule that affects the router sitting in your home right now. Most coverage treated it as a tech story. A few treated...

"Sony, alongside other major music labels, sued Cox in 2018 over the pirating of its music by Cox customers." They lost. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling, decided "that Internet service providers are not copyright police and should not be held liable for the actions of their customers":

Liable "only if it intended that the provided service be used for infringement"

8 years in the making, The US Supreme Court affirms that a provider is merely... a provider, and not complicit in the illegal acts that some of it's subscribers engage in.

You would think that this was a matter of common sense, but where deep pockets are involved... Well, Read on young Grasshoppa*, and while you're at it, *try to snatch the pebble from my hand. That's the lay version in common sense language.

For what it's worth, I say, Boom Shakalaka BOOM 💥 Mic Drop 🎤

For the dry, definitive version of the article you can read the actual unanimous ruling itself HERE

Wieder mal ein Rückschlag für private Server. Es sieht so aus, als ob mein ISP den Port 8448 blockiert. Damit ist der Zugriff auf andere matrix-Server im Fedivers beschränkt. Alles "zum Schutz des Kunden", oder was? Mir ist das aufgefallen als ich mich auf den matrix-Raum #c3e:chaospott.de einloggen wollte. Danke liebes, freies, netzneutrales Internet

@averlice @briankrebs Obviously centralization is an issue and I'd consider state-sponsored attackers criminally incompetent if they didn't compromize #IXP|s and #IX|es.

In fact, we all know that there's #Glimmerglass hardware spliced into the @decix 's PoP in NYC since before #PRISM so yeah, OFC all the major providers will have their #Govware - Infrastructure for "#LawfulInterception" broken into.
- Espechally since these boxes usually have hardcoded credentials and allow anyone with access to use them for stuff.

I can't go into further details, but basically there is #logging, #recording / packet #capture & redirection infra that is transparent at every #ISP that isn't like exempt due to being less than say 10k subscribers / users …
