I'm so relieved to find that its not just me going crazy all this time. Its gotten so bad that I've had to install a bloody MediaTek WiFi card in my ThinkPad just to make it work reliably. I remember when the 8000 series radios were the gold standard for mobile wireless, all the newer AX cards have been nothing but pain and suffering.

And Intel was the last reliable wifi chip maker I knew. What are good, well supported (on linux) wifi chipsets these days?
Unlike my Intel AX210 I can actually get a full gigabit down sat next to my router.

This is surprising for me to hear. My AX201 hasn't given me any trouble at all, ever. Maybe I've been getting lucky.

Hug of death from HN visitors. For fellow website admins, this is your regular reminder to use static site generators, where possible, and server-side cache where not.
I’d argue SSG and caching are the same solution just a difference in where the cache resides (disk vs memory) and warming strategy (on-demand vs preemptive)

local vs CDN that is...

How often does a bug tracker get that much traffic? And using an SSG for one when tons of the queries will have specific filtering terms doesn't seem so great either.
