that's like 100mbps

It is

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

Yeah it just frustrates me when my ISP hosts a steam mirror but I still can't get really fast download speeds.

VagrantWinds•6/30/24, 2:09 AM

1000Mbps

PPez more likely cpu

Crono•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

Or if it's compressed like Steam downloads it might be CPU, yeah

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

if it's a gigabyte then the odds are you just don't have enough headroom on the actual machine downloading

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

bandwidth isn't some magic free resource that comes alongside your internet connection, you still need a fast machine for fast downloads

PPez that's like 100mbps

Crono•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

100MB/s*

CCrono 100MB/s*

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

:shrug:

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:10 AM

still not even in the same ballpark

HHex To install, it calls pkexec/gnomesu if you try to install flatpaks without the -...

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

Other distro is same as silverblue
Flatpak has its own polkit rules for allowing non privileged users to install package system wide

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

well it's not CPU, and I'm connected via wired ethernet and my USB dock has 1gbps ethernet so IDK.

Crono•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

Speed tests are usually Mbps

Crono•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

So, megabit

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

1000Mb/s = 125MB/s, approximately

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:11 AM

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/flatpak/
Just look at flatpak for archlinux
It has polkit rules just like silverblue

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

letters are hard

Crono•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

Not as bad as converting between imperial and metric

Hex•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

No its not

Hex•6/30/24, 2:12 AM

That's saying for personal experience

Hex•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

Flatpak installed as system for me always asked password

Hex•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

or sudo if done through cli
It only doesn't ask for it on immutable distros such as silverblue

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

well it's kinda abstract but either way either they're advertising gigabit and this is correct

CCrono Not as bad as converting between imperial and metric

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:13 AM

Oh god. My country is stupid like that. We tend to measure PEOPLE in Imperial and everything else in Metric. I blame US media.

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

or they're advertising gigabyte and you are trying to milk a rock

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

height/weight are feet/lbs, but in stores stuff is in grams/kg

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

so stupid

Crono•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

I doubt they're advertising GB/s

Crono•6/30/24, 2:14 AM

That'd require some really fancy enterprise equipment

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

i would not buy from someone who tries to make their connection look better by calling it "gigabit" like we're in the 90s tbh

HHex No its not

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

What other distro do you use?
I use arch before and flatpak not asking for my password for installing package
It only does that when adding repo

PPez i would not buy from someone who tries to make their connection look better by c...

Crono•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

It's just industry standard at this point

Hex•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

Ubuntu, debian, fedora 40 (common) opensuse tumbleweed

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

there are plenty of places that still can't get even 1/10th of gigabit

Hex•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

All of them asked me for password

CCrono I doubt they're advertising GB/s

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

well for mine, you're right, not quite 1gb

Hex•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

Unless using --user (or specifying Flathub (User)

CCrono It's just industry standard at this point

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:15 AM

seems like they just confuse people with this

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

and most consumer devices that have ethernet don't have more than gigabit speed on it

Crono•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

It's not really confusing though, one byte = eight bits

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

oh yeah that actually is gigabit what a load of shovelware

HHex All of them asked me for password

dreamyuki•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

Is your user in the wheel group?
If not it will ask for password

CCrono It's not really confusing though, one byte = eight bits

PezOP•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

it's confusing to end-users you're marketing to lol

OOnihikage there are plenty of places that still can't get even 1/10th of gigabit

Crono•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

I have 1/100th of a gigabit

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:16 AM

marketing uses megabit and gigabit because bigger numbers

Ddreamyuki Is your user in the wheel group? If not it will ask for password

Hex•6/30/24, 2:17 AM

If it wasn't, it wouldn't even ask for root cause I wouldn't be able to authorize lol

Also like I said, it doesn't ask on immutable distros such as silverblue, and I currently use bazzite, which doesn't ask for it just like silverblue.

CCrono I have 1/100th of a gigabit

Kamquat•6/30/24, 2:17 AM

Do you live in the distant and far land of Thud wherein you have to use only satellite internet?

Onihikage•6/30/24, 2:17 AM

if they could split bits in half they'd use giga-half-bits or something lol

KKamquat Do you live in the distant and far land of Thud wherein you have to use only sat...

Crono•6/30/24, 2:17 AM

Not satellite, radio

Crono•6/30/24, 2:18 AM

It's not even to look better necessarily, just that back when internet services were starting out it was far more legible to advertise in kilobit/megabit

Crono•6/30/24, 2:18 AM

So it's a grandfathered metric

that's like 100mbps
