| | Lets mess around with serial ports today! I love doing hardware hacking, and dealing with serial ports is a common thing you have to do when working with embedded systems. Of course I want to do everything with Ruby, and I had found Ruby serial port libraries to be either lacking, or too complex, so I decided to write my own. I feel like I've not done a good enough job promoting the library, so today we're going to mess with serial ports using the UART gem. Don't let the last commit date on the repo fool you, despite being over 6 years ago, this library is actively maintained (and I use it every day!).

| iperf3 is useful for testing the network throughput of your local network. It can help to indicate network bandwidth of individual nodes on your LAN. Do you have one computer that seems perpetually slow? Then iperf3 may be able to confirm this potential issue. A WAN speedtest service like Google's will not necessarily indicate the speed of individual nodes on your LAN. Rather, it is better suited to testing the throughput from your home to the public Internet.
