Read below π why you should start using LibreSpeed from now on for internet speed tests
"Speedtest and Downdetector were just sold to Accenture for $1.2 billion. (...) Ookla, the parent company of both tools, has been acquired by the global IT consulting giant Accenture (...).
The open source alternative: LibreSpeed. No tracking scripts, no GPS harvesting, no profile building, no ads and no data sold to anyone."

"Calling it 'speed test data' dramatically undersells what is actually happening. Ookla captures more than 1,000 attributes per test. If you have given the app location access, it collects your precise GPS coordinates and links them to your home IP address, building a physical map of network locations tied to real households. 250 million consumer-initiated tests happen per month. That is 250 million data points per month from people who thought they were just checking their internet speed."

Interestingly I get higher numbers from this than Speedtest gives me, including the ping.

@rikviergever And of course, accessibility is⦠meh. I wonder, why almost all open-source solutions are so careless about accessibility?

@rikviergever sadly it seems not so handy for, eg, we in australia / new zealand, with the nearest server apparently japan. pity nothing in oceania. -

Is this working for everyone? Just hangs on looking for server.

@mastodonmigration @rikviergever maybe a mastodon hug-of-death is happening?

@menelion @rikviergever replacing "open-source" with "unpaid volunteer with hyper-specific skillset" might help explain it? Same for design.

@rikviergever
Again I'm confused about a reality where a website that does a speed test is worth a billion dollars. π«Yes, I saw the post about the other information which is collected. It still makes no sense.

@rikviergever You know what it also doesn't have? Screen reader accessibility. It's pretty much unusable with any screen reader for various reasons, unlike Ookla Speedtest which works very well. BTW, this sucks.

@rikviergever Given that librespeedβs closest test server is a 14 hour flight away, itβs a noble idea but entirely impractical.

@rikviergever Hmm, not bad.

@the5thColumnist @rikviergever for the ping lower is better.
