Ask HN: What to do with gigabit internet?
I recently upgraded to Verizon's gigabit internet (I'm getting 900/930 on average, but close enough). What are some cool things to do with this level of speed?
I built a tiny pc (Gigabyte BRIX) and use it as a linux server/host. I use CloudFlare as CDN (with their client certificate HTTPS) so my IP address isn't so obvious.
I use it between houses with a VPN and use an HDHomeRun to move ATSC streams (~20mbit each) to places that don't get good OTA reception.
I download games when I want to play them and delete them when I'm done. Rinse and repeat.
Windows/Mac/iOS/Android updates are really fast.
