If 40-60% of all DNS queries are unnecessary or used for harvesting data, and 98% of emails are unsolicited, marketing, or spam, and there’s 80000 new malicious websites every week, and the average number of requests per page is around 150, up to a size of 100MB for fonts alone, with cookie data shared with up to 1500 ‘partners’, not to mention how much resource is wasted server side with ‘AI’… surely there’s an argument on energy savings alone for greater controls over these things?
I have a 10Gbps pipe direct to less than a metre away from me, I have a PC with 15GB/s disk bandwidth, 24 cores, and 256GB RAM. It is RAPID. But if you have a jolly on the general internet everything turns to sludge.
I have no idea how the internet has actually gotten slower since the T1 days. Edit… well I know, as per above.
What I don’t know is how we let it happen.
