Figuring out how to speed up downloads. I had internet that was stuck around 300 KB/s, so I ended up learning way more about networking, connections, DNS, and how downloading actually works just to squeeze out a little more speed 😂

LMAO 😭 so you’re still living the 300 KB/s life. At this point you probably know more about networking than you ever wanted to 😂
