css-exercises VS speedtest

Hi! I'm working on this css-exercise from the Odin Project: https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/tree/main/flex/07-flex-layout-2 I've basically got the broad strokes in the layout put together. I'm also aware that I need to use flex-wrap to bring the flex items onto the next rows and also know how to finish this up. My question is about something weird I've noticed in the process. **Code Used** codepen.io/Ashwin-Parcha/pen/JjxxJJq **Problem** I've set a width on the cards (.card) that is too wide on purpose at 400px. These cards have default flex values of 0 1 auto. From my understanding, when the flex-basis is auto, the width is considered, but if the total width of the flex items is bigger than the parent, then the width isn't respected and the items will shrink to fit the container. But as you can see, the width **IS** being respected here for some reason. **Expected Outcome** The width shouldn't be respected and cards should shrink. Thanks for your help!

So, to make things clear, I am not asking anyone to help me with homework. I am learning through a free course and we don't receive grades. I am in this course to actually learn. I am almost finished but I am having a few problems. Here is a link to a codepen https://codepen.io/Brayancel/pen/rNZgdLR and here is the exercise I am following https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/tree/main/flex/07-flex-layout-2 . The only thing I am not able to achieve is the stretch of the page. The checklist of the exercise says that the footer (the square that says Odin Project <3) is supposed to be pushed lower when the screen is squeezed. But mine does not do that. I really don't know what else to do here. I provided the code so everyone can see that I did.

How are you getting on with these exercises: https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/tree/main/flex ?

Sure. Here is the ReadMe to the assignment details: https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/tree/main/margin-and-padding/01-margin-and-padding-1. It is under the "Block and Inline" section of the CSS portion (foundations): https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-block-and-inline. It's basically learning about the differences between block and inline and what elements are used.

In the desired result (https://github.com/TheOdinProject/css-exercises/tree/main/flex/05-flex-modal), the exclamation point circle has nothing above or below it. That implies it is part of a row of boxes.

I'm trying to do this, but getting absolutely nowhere fast, like literally just about 2 hours of head-scratching and getting frustrated.

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.

LebreSpeed

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.
