start with basics:

• install iperf on every device you can between an external device and your internal host(s) and use it to find any bottlenecks
• use tools like tcpdump to analyze packets flowing over the network. you can often find surprising results this way
• start with a simple test best (again, iperf) with the most simple config (no nginx etc) and add the complexity of your config bit by bit until the issue returns

yeah silly me for supporting artists with my money but also downloading drm-free copies of things so I can actually exercise a semblance of ownership. but sure, keelhaul me so you can keep your sense of smug superiority.

AI is a tool that is fundamentally based on the concept of theft and plagiarism. The LLM training data comes from artists and creators that did not consent to their work being plagiarized by a hallucinating machine.

you need to look at the routing tables on your computer. these tables store the prioritized rules for how packets leave your host machine.

it might be that something is adding rules, or, there is some overly broad rule taking priority (like a rule that says all 10.0.0.0/8 traffic go to your home router over 192.168.69.0/24, etc)

it’s also suspect that you can reach the NAS over the 1gb card. That to me means one of two things:

1. something is not actually using the IP you’ve configured in your fstab and is using some IP that is on the 1gb interface
2. you have some weird network routes configured that is leading to this issue. if 10.42.69.0/24 is accessible over the 192.168.69.0/24 network, then you might need to create a static route explicitly telling your OS to send packets out the 40gb card

ultimately, i suggest you run something like tcpdump or wireshark on your computer (ideally on the NAS too) so you can start to visualize how the packets are being addressed and transferred over your networks.
