I also had Hindi and Arabic audio tracks, but the text-to-speech thing seems to have messed up at the beginning for them. Let me know if any other audio tracks have parts where it glitches severely at some point.
the brasilian translation is bugged in 1:35
@@nohansantosfrancos oh god you're right lol. I'll have to update that.
In my opinion, the audio track in Bahasa Indonesia throughout the video is chaotic, with a mix of Indonesian and English, but the speaking speed is okay in my view. Hopefully, it can be improved further.
No issues with the Indonesian subtitles.
@@CraftBlack Yea I'm going to replace these audio tracks with ones made with Microsoft Azure like I had before. I was trying out ElevenLabs because it could let me clone my own voice but I just realized a ton of the tracks have glitches where it just goes "AHHHHHHHH" for like 10 seconds lmao 💀
This upload was timed spectacularly well. I've recently moved with my (not so tech-savvy) family and have been having issues where connectivity between my machine and the local network would drop randomly a few times a day. Now I'll be able to pinpoint exactly where, when, and hopefully why this is happening. You have my sincere thanks!
Actually did this not too long ago. Was going to try out wireless VR so I did an iperf3 test between my computer and my (ethernet connected) home server. Made me realize I had a bottleneck locally that was stopping me from getting my full wifi bandwidth, which I've now solved. 10 gigabit home intranet... I gotta get to work (still 1gig for me).
lol... why not 100Gbit then?, u probably have to wait 0.1 seconds less while transfering a file 😉
Nasa wifi
I recently came across your channel and have been binging a lot of your videos. They are really helpful and engaging. Thank you and keep posting! 😄
I also found this tool recently and I think another advantage is that you can have it on multiple platforms to see how the network speed works.
You can do the tests both from fixed network or wireless, both for short or longer periods.
In my case I tested 1 gbps and it also depended if other devices connected to the server, this is not easy to check but the results I've got showed me that there might be traffic done by the devices that yourself didn't initiate.
Once again thank you for the video !
iPerf runs on plain TCP (or UDP if you want) whereas OpenSpeedTest runs on HTTP, that's why they're showing different result. OpenSpeedTest is more realistic because we mostly use HTTP
Yep. Add to that the overhead of encryption 😅
@@wil-fri yup... HTTPS with RSA 4096 let's see if it makes difference
You use HTTP between your local machines?
@@halfsourlizard9319 me? Initially yes, then I figured out how to use Yubikey for signing local SSL certificate, a lot safer than storing CA key on hard drive
@halfsourlizard9319 It's perfectly fine to use HTTP between local machines to host local website, file transfer, etc.
This is actually a great way of testing WiFi configurations. What channel, band, and size of band to utilize, particularly in more crowded environments such as apartment buildings or commercial spaces (eg coffee shops, etc).
This is a great video, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I now have this running from on my NAS as well as my Win server.
Good video. You are the only Windows channel I follow even though I ditched Windows a while ago because it sucks so bad.
Your videos are always informative.
Thanks for this! I already have Docker setup so it was trivial to add the Speedtest server to it.
perfect timing i just did a NIC upgrade on some of my machines and was looking for tools to validate it thanks
Thanks, this helped me diagnose that NAS was struggling to send data over my power-line adapter. It's so much quicker now.
That's very handy. Thank you very much once again !
A great advice and tool!
Thank you!
Thank you, is a great way to test the connection of a Quest 3 to the network.
also CPU, this thing will hit hard on CPU, if you have a gigabit network and the host is only like an cheapo dd3 athlon you'll barely reach it.
I also do this on my LAN that has fiber running from house to house to computer cafe, so I would know which connection is chocking.
Great video! always wanted to check my local networks speed just didnt know what to do!
Cool app. My 10gig is definitely working.
Thx bro, that's very helpful ❤❤
Ok that was great ❤ now I subscribe!
Re: iperf versus iperf3, its worth noting that the latter doesn't have support for CPU multithreading (at least on Linux), while the former does.
This probably isnt an issue for most users, but I've encountered it in advanced contexts (specifically, benchmarking an InfiniBand link).
This was a game changer, thanks a lot...
It just popped up on YT but it's a great suggestion. Just ran it and works nicely! I may need to do some testing :-)
Love this video my gah you make the best Content
Thank you for your video. Perhaps a video outlining/testing Jumbo packets MTU 9000 settings.
Thank you, TJ.
Funny story: Recently I was getting absolute shit speeds on my hard-wired desktop.
I treid everything to get the speed back restarts, computer and router, drivers, etc. and it was always dirt slow. I did some research and people were saying my ethernet cable was broken. Now it was an old cable but I thought surely if the cable was broken it would just be broken it wouldn't be slow...but as I tried everything else I decided to just buy a new ethernet cable. Wouldn't you know, that fixed the issue right up and I made sure to route it better so the cable wouldn't get crushed to death again.
I can see a value in testing your local network but at least in this case a regular old speed test was enough to point me in the right direction.
Gb Ethernet needs all 4 pairs in the cable. 10 & 100 Mb only need 2. So, a damaged cable might work fine at 10, but not higher speed. However, negotiation takes place at 10 Mb, so the devices might think they can run at 1 Gb, but can't.
@@James_Knott thanks for the context, that makes sense in hindsight but in the moment I couldn't fathom that an ethernet cable could partially work!
Maybe one day I'll break that cable out (I still have it) and do some testing.
Speed can also be limited with all wires intact if the cable is low quality, poorly terminated, or poorly installed (close and in parallel to power lines, out-of-spec bends, etc) because of poor SNR.
Heh, reminds me of a story I saw on (I think) Twitter. A dude is talking about how the top IT guy in his company keeps an ethernet cable on/in his desk, labeled "broken".
He was asked by one of the new techs why he keeps the cable, why he doesn't just throw it out.
He goes, "I'll show you why. Take it, and plug it into a tester."
New tech does just that, cable checks out perfectly fine.
"Try another tester."
Same thing, cable checks out perfectly fine.
"Now, go plug it into your computer."
Tech goes to his computer, unplugs the network cable, and plugs in the "broken" one. Network connection drops entirely. He swaps it back, it's fine. Swaps again, network's dead.
Top IT guy goes, "THAT'S why I keep that cable, as a reminder."
Ah... thank you for the information, i still wondering why having a different connection before when compare two router for local network
It doesn't need internet at all especially for streaming my games from PC to TV but this information help me a lot to know that local network can have a different speed connection depends on what router that used
ik this is prob the most wrong way to do it but i setup an SMB share on a ram disk (normally like 8-16GB depending on the server hosting) and move a large file from my NVME SSD to that share then calculate the max speed. Works pretty well and thats how i tested my 10gigabit Mikrotik switch when i got it.
Great and informative Video
8:10 I'm not really sure, but the speed could probably be limited in the device manager, because that's the way it is by default, at least if the drivers I came across are a good indication, you might wanna check it out if you want, as usual, great content
Great video 🥇
Open speed test is ok for home and amateurish usage. For a complete speed test of your network iperf 2/3 are the industry standard.Especially if you have to check high speed connections open speed test gives very misleading results. But I am sure your video will be useful for many beginners. 👍
Speedtest to my ISP's server and iperf3 to my firewall give similar results, a bit over 920 Mb/s on a 1 Gb network.
I noted big difference between firefox and edge on an old windows machines. Both running without extensions on the same machine FF: 921Mbps down 404Mbps up Edge: 972
7:59 The reason Windows routes everything through the hyper-V switch when you have hyper-V enabled is because technically once you enable hyper-V Windows is running in a hyper-V container. Windows can't run the hyper-V on top of itself because of how hyper-V is coated so instead Windows switches to running virtualized on hyper-v. It's a super weird way for Microsoft to have set that up, but it's the way it works .
3:50 it's going to be a bit pedantic but snap is specific basically to just Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives. Whereas flat pack is a much more universal Linux packaging format and open speed test does have a flat pack, so I would have preferred that image to have been used for the Linux option.
But also I went looked and that graphic was probably pulled directly from open speed tests website so I can't really rag on Joe too much about that
I think maybe the snap is server specific, like the docker or helm containers
openspeedtest is nice, but there are 2 things it can't do:
1) SMB multichannel speed test (because it's not designed to utilize SMB multichannel protocol)
2) 10Gbit LAN benchmark is rather inaccurate (usually measures around 4.5-6.5 Gbit, and inconsistently) which I think is the limitation of web ui/api
Yet another winner!
Transfering a file is also limited by the speed of windows file transfer which "doesnt multithread" (kinda). It becomes more obvious when you do large file transfers.
thankyou so much for the wallpapers
And u know what's even better, not sponsored purchase of Anker power banks, charger and micro usb + usb-c cables back in 2016-2018 which still work fine today and I'm happy with the quality of them :)
Ugreen is fine too, can't say they're worse
love your videos!!!!!!!!!
Wow what a timing for this video I just did that last night but I've used a commandine app to do it
thank you
Nice video. This definitely looks just a little bit easier to run than iperf.
Don't forget the obvious: Hardware. Long cables and different tolerances on different ports of your switch can make for different transfer rates, even of the same two devices plugged into different ports.
If you're experiencing that, you've got crappy cables. CAT5 cable is rated for 1 Gb at 100M and can do more over short distances.
@@James_Knott Well, yes, but it's easy not to notice without testing, especially if it's degrading over time or if the device isn't doing heavy transfers.
Concur, at my parents' home the cable is not great, but ok, but apparently laid poorly, terminated poorly, and as a result some connections are just poor, and some even degraded over time to complete failure.
Good video.
Finally, an easy tool that I can use on anything with a web browser.
OMG! Finally, dubs have been added!

I set up OpenVPN on my home PC to access resources if I happen to leave the house with my laptop. If I leave this software open on my desktop, I can check the speed of my connection and compare connecting the VPN via UDP or TCP and then comparing connecting to it while using expressvpn. Thanks for the recommendation.
Glad to watch 2 minute ad. Anyway, next time it would be more useful to also tell how to diagnose the issues. Wired connection to my machine slows down tremendously if I open too many links at once, even if it's some random half-empty websites.
That would be more of a computer issue.
Not sure what's up with my router, but until recently I didn't realize it kept choking my bandwidth. I should be getting 30MBps download, and I do when directly connected to the modem. With my router however, after a factory reset it starts out at that speed, but then around eight hours later it caps out at 10MBps and never raises.
Nice!!!
Just leaving a presence here!
On your vmware what NICs are you using on the guest vms? I have found if you use the default Intel 1000 virtual NIC it is slower than if you use the vmxnet3 NIC. The vmxnet3 NIC is 10Gig. I get that the physical NIC is only a 1gig or 2.5gig it wont be any faster than that but my experience has always been better with the vmxnet3 NIC. And communication between servers is much improved if they are on the same virtual switch.

Hi ThioJoe. It would beawesome to see you climb on board with all the scambaiters out there and help terrorize scammers to the point of utter rage. I like you brother.
I never thought of testing internet speed with local devices. Heck I didn't think this was a thing, but this would definitely come in handy for something.
Same here not once did it even cross my mind that it was a thing at all.
file transfers
He's testing file transfer over local network. He says it out loud several times in the video ffs. With some of these apps, you can also test "internet speed" (whatever that is, as there's no such thing IRL) if you specify external server.
Everytime ThioJoe uploads, I feel relieved that I don't have to do the research myself
Ого неожиданно , когда-нибудь привыкну к новым фишкам ютуба, translated quite well
I still can't believe ThioJoe posts legit tech tips.
Hey Thio, I have a synology nas and I have a couple of docker containers running on it. But I have to manually start the containers every time I restart the nas. I've searched how to start the contaiiners on startup but none of the methods I've tried works. Have you got it to work? If so, how? I'm not a linux expert, that's for sure! Thanks!
I was looking for a way to measure local upload and local download. Thanks.
It worked. Docker for the win.
Wow nice
Hi, im wondering what the remote looking usb device is?
I was reminded of how irritating it is that companies can't seem to just put a minimum of 1Gbps Lan ports in certain devices, I guarantee it costs them almost nothing to put a 1Gbps port vs a 100 Mbps port, but they just gotta have those margins don't they.
There might not be a need for better than 100 Mb. One example would be the IPTV boxes I have, which are already overkill for HDTV.
@@James_Knottwho cares about "hdtv" when there's 4k? A good remux will easily saturate a 100mbps link. If course, when you're watching streaming, you might not notice it as the client will just f*k up your quality to make your content fit through.
I'll quote this from Reddit
"The maximum bitrate can easily exceed 100 Mbps in many movies, reaching 195 Mbps in Deadpool.
Maximum bitrate isn't necessarily correlated to file size nor average bitrate: we see a bigger movie like Superman (76GB) having a smaller maximum bitrate (143Mbps) than a smaller movie like Deadpool (51GB) with a larger maximum bitrate (195Mbps)."
In some cases, people report burst bitrates if about 450 mbps.
So if you're not interested in watching high-quality 4k, sure, a 100mbps port will suffice

Although there's fibre passing my address, I seem to be OK with 18 Mb/s copper ADSL, seeing as I don't do big video files or play games etc, BUT looking at these speed tests, I think I should bite the bullet and get me some fibre Gb/s goodness.
He's speaking about local network tests
@@BoraHorzaGobuchul Doh! I was thinking all wrong. I should and could have known better. Maybe it's because I live alone, and "local network" is not something I need nor have explored. I wouldn't consider a DSL modem/router connected by ethernet to a Tower machine, a Notebook connected by wifi, and a USB Terabyte drive, as a Network, more as a Tree. :-)
I converted to an Omada router and switch. I can see live my exact speed at all times! 😂
2:37 and 3:17 I have never be able to get more than 2 displays output from an laptop. Be they duplicate or extend, and be they via laptop screen, or via built in hdmi port, or via usb-c adapter. Just can't get more than 2, if I connect a third monitor one of the previous will go blank. I have set always use Nvidia dGPU on my laptop as well. Also whenever I go multi display mode, laptop just auto reverts to the crappy intel graphics... Pls teach me how 🙏
Look at the source of your notebook, could be that it doesn't support more than x number of monitors

Someone help a brother out here....i have some files with no extension...on file type it shows octet - stream...from Google searches I came to find out that they are binary files...and opening them using text editor they show random words...these not in hexdec and ...i know that they are encoded (don't know the encoding method) and I am 17% sure they can be converted into plain text...any any expert here???
You have 10Gbps internet!? I didn't even know that was a thing yet. I'm over here just happy that our ISP upgraded from 200Mbps to 500Mbps for free...dreaming about 1Gbps. I can't even fathom 10.
Not internet, just on my local network
Most people only have 1Gb ethernet. 10Gb NICs and switches are pretty expensive.
Thi isn't testing the network, this is testing the browser and OS. RFC 2544 defines a way to test networks
Will work for those who are interest in real world performance of their install.
It's about transfer speed between devices connected to the same network ?
Thio doesn't age...Love ugreen by the way

In a future video you should mention that like 90% of people won't need more than a 50Mbit connection if they only use it to watch TV and do phone things. That means cheapest cable bill wins out. Only need faster if they have a powerful console or PC that downloads big games or files.
People who don't see the difference between local network speed and "internet speed" (whatever the last one is, internet can not have a "speed" by definition) won't care.
I use iperf3 on my LAN. My network is connected with a 1 Gb Cisco switch. My account is supposed to provide 1.5 Gb down, but I'm limited by my hardware. With both iperf3 between my desktop computer and my pfSense firewall and my desktop to the speedtest server at my ISP, I get a bit over 920 Mb. That's pretty close to the maximum you can expect over 1 Gb. Also, I doubt there's a version OpenSpeedTest for my firewall, either client or server, so I'll stick with iperf3. Iperf3 is an option that can be installed on pfSense and it can be left running.
Also, my 12 year old ThinkPad can't manage more than a few hundred Mb, even though it has a 1 Gb NIC. 😞
Whats with the firewall? Especially the windows firewall? Port 3000 must be open.
Namaste ThioJoe
8:00 - How did you disable that?

It's nice to know the numbers, but how do you gauge if they are good or bad?
Higher jitter means less stable connection. Ping is how responsive the connection is, higher is worse
I was suprised that there is an iOS app for the server! handy when on site
Just tried it and holy crap got a result of 8.4gbps down and 9.78gbps up. Now if only my internet connection was even close to that speed (1000/50 yes 50 up because straya internet.....).
can i test my own pc connection if i enter the ip of the server on the server pc? does the traffic go to the router and back again?
It is not nice to"forget" to mention that people need USB-C Thunderbolt for your UGREEN devices to work as advertised.
UGREEN doesn't even mention it as a requirement on their site. The box says "plug and play."
Also the docking station only does 60hz while my laptop does 300hz so itll be a MASSIVE downgrade
Yep. I did it with spacedesk and no compression
Perhaps an explanation of how to use the program would be helpful because it only says that the server is running but doesn't help much.
Hello Thio
