Home Networking: Second walkthrough
Although not much of an IT update, I did a new walk-through over the build site of the new house! Continue reading Home Networking: Second walkthrough
Home Networking: First walk through on the build site
As some might know, we’ve been building a house for a while now. We’re now into it about 1 year and I thought it would be nice to show a video of how things are progressing and also showcase some of the “features” that are going into the house.

For this I use a program called “iperf” and while it can be a bit daunting at first with a little know-how it’s actually pretty easy! Read on to find out how to use it in a variety of situations:
