Some of the comments encouraged me to set up a more proper monitoring system for keeping track of latencies to various servers, and to consider more than just ICMP ping as said packets are likely deprioritized.

• Should I quit learning Python?

  What is it that you actually want to achieve? Learning Python should have an overarching goal. Like being a programmer. If you would rather not be a programmer, and you don't like programming, but you would like to automate certain things on your PC, you might as well download and install https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-us/ .
