Going to do “The Old Computer Challenge v2” soon: https://dataswamp.org/~solene/2022-07-01-oldcomputerchallenge-v2-rtc.html
tl;dr:
Use the internet (a bit) like it was in the 90’ies, i.e. only connect for very brief amounts of time. I think 20 minutes a day was already quite a lot for us. It would be total madness to also limit the available bandwidth to the speed of a 56k modem, so that’s not part of the experiment.
I’ll write about the experiment in my gopher hole.

@movq ~20mins per day is more than enough for you to suck down your feeds and reply to a few 😂 Beauty of Twtxt is it's all designed to be "async" and it's kind of offline friendly (sort of).~

I'm not one to show off, but you guys like to talk about how many iPhones you could buy per week. You could buy more than I could, assuming I wanted to buy iPhones in the first place.
How much could you download with 20 minutes of internet access? I could (theoretically) download 150 gigabytes.

@mckinley I got a 50 MBit/s link, so about 7.5 GB. 🥴
@prologic Yeah, twtxt is probably the easiest part. 😅 I have a completely async setup anyway, e.g. I write replies “offline” and then push them all in one go.

@mckinley I can only download about ~10.9GB in ~20mins here 😂

@mckinley So... Really... You have a 10x better Internet connection than I 😂 And I bet you pay less for it too 🤣

@movq Good then as you do this "experiment" I expect to still see Yarns from you 😂

@mckinley iphone per hour is a remnant of a odd situation from february. does not represent any of our finances.
if i calculate my iphone/hr finance equation it would put me in the one per leap year category.
internet throughput related prior to my decent debut as a digital hobo i ran 1gbps, 2gbps, and 5gbps fiber links.
could download the entire internet while my leer jet was being fueled and my platinum-coated kalashnikov was given a massage by a team of swedish courtesans.
this thread is depressing. i miss being a billionaire and parking my aventador in my library while tai lopez fetches my crushed velvet smoking jacket. 
@movq du erinnerst mich sehr oft an "yeti".
@movq @prologic rms batch transmits. if it's good enough for him we can do it too. but i draw the line at eating my feet.
