A little update, today I had the chance to try my FIPS setup over Starlink. Worked like a champ, a little laggy but still usable. I know the lag was most likely Starlink and the speed of light's fault.

sighting in Nashville, TN!

This is the way... I've been playing with the ratatui (rust) and the 🤖s have built me some nice little TUIs for data entry and display. https://ratatui.rs

slick TUI, did you make or is it some sort of existing harness?

I have my own self managed firewall/router and my stupid isp gives me a non-public NATed IP. Pretty common with ISPs these days.

More using the credit card to pay the mortgage. Not a good look.

Running FIPS! now I can ssh into a dev system at home even though it's stuck with a private IPv4 address behind my stupid ISPs NAT. With FIPS I'm able to assign my home server a self generated npub and talk to it from anywhere. This is how the internet is meant to be, peer to peer, private and permissionless. Sorry for abusing your FIPS test net for my personal VPN. But I hope my background traffic helps somehow with your performance testing. I'm not seeing any noticeable latency running multiple shells and editors over my ssh tunnel between the office and home. Love what you're building with !
