MagicMirror VS speedtest

I use MagicMirror to do this. It's a great piece of software. I'm a bit shocked nobody has mentioned this yet. https://magicmirror.builders/

The most used solution it’s https://magicmirror.builders/

I’m planning on using MagicMirror (https://magicmirror.builders/) to do this in my kitchen but without the mirror part (just a TV mounted in a niche on the wall). Did you build your software from scratch?

Check out Magic Mirror. Could be what you're looking for. https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror

Would this work with magic mirror?

If so I will order right away

Have a look at the Magic Mirror project https://magicmirror.builders/

You could also look into something like MagicMirror. not sure if you have a server to host, or looking for just local on iPad.

The final option seems to be basically homebrewing a solution using a program like MagicMirror and local image files installed on the pi. There quite a few guides out there on different ways to do this. But

You can still participate in distributed computing projects, just check out Science United which is one that uses BOINC for the project management. I've got it running on my Raspberry Pi (which primarily runs Magic Mirror so its nice to let somebody else get some benefit since its primarily a relatively static display). Also, Folding@Home did do some of the research into COVID, so it is staying up to date.

I recently installed OpenWRT on a TP-Link TL-WDR4300, and put the router of my ISP in bridge mode. Now I noticed that the wireless speeds are significantly slower (40mbps vs 3mbps via librespeed.org), after using OpenWRT.

Try hosting a DIY speed test on a cloud server (like Google colab or the free oracle instances or whatever):

https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest

here's the top two results if you search for "open speed test nginx reverse proxy": https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest/wiki/Reverse-proxy-with-Nginx https://github.com/henrywhitaker3/Speedtest-Tracker/issues/924

Or https://librespeed.org/

Fast.com is giving me ~ 250Mbps https://librespeed.org is giving me ~ 112Mbps the one constant between all the tests seems to be the 52Mb upload

It should be DIA. They provide the internet connection to the company since 2 decades and it's a very small ISP, so it's very vague in terms of contract. Iperf was giving me very terrible results with TCP, UDP was giving me a couple of Gbit/s throughput, definitely a wrong result. We are using this self hosted speedtest. All my results above are based on this software: https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest

Put a copy of Librespeed on a web server that's accessible through the VPN and told them to use that. For (our) convenience, it's logged into a database that's correlated with the VPN login/logout times so the users don't even need to log in to use it, but we still know whose test result it is.
