I actually miss the days of my youth scouring FTP lists looking for cool files to download, feeling the lag from 56k link saturation and failovers, back when 56k links were backbones for some universities! EFnet IRC when the total users on the network were under 100! Logging into RMS's unprotected MIT account to learn shell scripting or telnet into MUSHes. Arguing with roommates over optimal queue depth settings on our home LAN dialup router, so the guy downloading GNU Hurd didn't lag our telnet/ssh sessions. Setting "+ +" in random victim's .rhosts...
My primary connection at home is LTE via a signal booster and hotspot, usually under 2mbit/s. It's not ideal, but has been forcing me to do more scripting and less hands on. It also makes me realize how lazy web programmers have become, and how bloated frameworks are.
