Advanced Network Quality Test (ANQT) for Windows

Some time ago, I did not become a software developer. Instead, I became a system administrator and later an IT architect. I know the basics and wrote scripts in PowerShell and Python, but I am not a professional developer.

Now, in the time of AI and LLMs, I can make my ideas real.

Today I made one old idea come true. It is a simple application to test Internet access.

We all know speedtest.net. But Internet access is not just about speed. It is many things together: local network at home or office, DNS, provider, firewalls, etc.

I wanted to make an application that can run different tests and show the quality as percentage (%).

Today, I published the first version of "Advanced Network Quality Test" for Windows. It has a graphical interface (GUI).

Running OpenClaw 2026.7.1 in Podman rootless container

This is an overview of how to run OpenClaw version 2026.7.1 in a Podman container on a home server.

Why don't I run it on my personal Windows computer using the standard method "iwr -useb https://openclaw.ai/install.ps1 | iex"?

I don't want to run an uncontrolled AI agent on a computer that has my personal data and full admin rights. That is why I prefer an isolated Podman container in rootless mode.

Why don't I use the ready-made script "./scripts/podman/setup.sh"?

• I don't want to run third-party scripts.
• I don't plan to use the OpenClaw CLI.
• I don't want unnecessary files on my server.
• I don't want to build the image (podman build) directly on the server.

I planned to run OpenClaw with a single podman run command, but it was more complicated than I thought. In this post, I want to show what the problems were and how I solved them.
