Then the difference here is that I've a good CPU connected via Category 7 RJ-45 802.3 (so a fast LAN), but my gateway and broadband aren't quick. See https://www.speedtest.net/result/18012165677.

I have other people who need to use the network. For me, that's very important. I don't care if I use all of my CPU (which I definitely shan't when doing an update anyway).

However, I saw:

I’m uncertain how to report this to bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=bugs.kde.org without it being flagged. Is #kde-sysadmin:kde.org a better avenue? I don’t really have the time for synchronous communications.

It’s probably the “18012165677” being interpreted as a phone number.

In general try to post text in Bugzilla comments, not markup, code, or unnecessary links.

@ngraham, the link provides network connection information, if you view it. It was fairly integral to my point, I think…

Thanks. That explains a few false positives. I’d report it, but I doubt it’s important enough or anyone to put the effort into resolving it.

It’s good to provide information in bugzilla tickets, but there’s such a thing as too much information. Like, nobody needs evidence of your actual network speeds. You can just mention what they are, if this information is relevant to the topic of the bugzilla ticket.

@ngraham, I’ll try to trust that they’ll be trusting. Thanks.
