The water is cold, which might take some getting used to, but it is a powerful stream and does a fantastic job. I have almost no handyman experience and was able to add it in about 40 minutes.

My wife had Stage 2 Breast Cancer last year, and I had already been radicalized against for-profit healthcare. I struggle to think what my mental state would be post-Luigi if we hadn’t had good health insurance and access to good healthcare.

th0mcat Link ParentIt was indeed hospital WiFi! I should have done a speed test to see what I was pulling, I have 1Gb symmetrical fiber, pretty sure the APs at the hospital are at least 802.11acIt was indeed hospital WiFi! I should have done a speed test to see what I was pulling, I have 1Gb symmetrical fiber, pretty sure the APs at the hospital are at least 802.11ac
For anyone wondering about performance/input lag of Moonshine and Sunshine:
When my wife was in the hospital last year, I brought my tablet and modified GameSir G8 to test out a remote stream. WireGuard’d into my network, fired up Diablo 4, almost no discernible lag and picture quality was great.
Specs:
Desktop: Ryzen 3950X, 32GB RAM, RTX 3080, game at
2800x1752 60fps.
Home Network: 1 Gig fiber, Palo Alto PA-440
I was pulling 250Mb down on the hospital WiFi, which was probably the biggest determining factor.
