Example.com recently had an issue where its traffic was found being routed to the wrong place (its traffic should get discarded).

I use it for email accounts on test data in environments with a live mail server configured. The point of this domain is that it doesn’t work.

Can we use the same logic for motorscooters?

This is how I do it. No VPN. No NAT nonsense. You can open an IPv6 address to the public internet and nobody is going to stumble across it. You don’t even disclose your address to servers you connect to.

100% of shady connections come from bots scanning address space on IPv4.

I don’t get how a single person would have that much data. I fit my whole life from the first shot I took on a digital camera in 2001… Onto a 4TB drive.

…and even then, two thirds of it is just pirated movies.

I bought my last moto hoping it would land on the LineageOS supoort list before it EOL’d. That never happened, so I bought a Pixel.

Meanwhile, my Galaxy S5 went up to Android 11 on LineageOS. It started on 4.

I deliberately have not used docker at home to avoid complications. Almost every program is in a debian/apt repo, and I only install frontends that run on LAMP. I think I only have 2 or 3 apps that require manual maintenance (apart from running “apt upgrade”). NextCloud is 90% of the butthurt.

I’m starting to turn off services on IPv4 to reduce the network maintenance overhead.

A “per user” graph is not indiciative of the number of users, or any change in that metric. You cannot use this graph to determine any effect of the total user count.

You’re absolutely right! Would you like me to suggest alternative tones for LLMs?

Most? Dying is a mandatory requirement.

Checkout followed by 400 build errors because your entire toolchain and build pipeline has changed since you last touched it.

Optus is barely an internet connection at this point. I’m using about 10 fearures on Aussie Broadband that simply don’t exist on the Optus network.

Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) now provides IPv6-only to mobile handsets by default. They’ve deployed 464XLAT.

The main benenfit is not having to deal with NAT. You get your own address and your traffic is not conflated with other people’s.

You also get privacy extensions. Your device generates a temporary address for making outgoing connections. The address has no listening sockets. This means that you cannot get portscanned by every website you visit.

You don’t need to try and figure out your external IP address. There’s no differentiation between internal/external addresses. They’re all global, as the internet was intended.

You can throw as many IP addresses on an interface as you want. If you want to run two web servers from one machine, you can have multiple addresses with different services on port 443.

Enforcing TLS filters out a lot of spam connectikns too. Every legit provider has a cert these days.

I’ve got one, and it works well enough when offline.

If not, I could set up Home Assistant and self-host it.

It’s a shame, as Mozilla gave iRobot one of the better privacy ratings. That’s the only reason I allowed it in my house to begin with.

It was annoying having to change that setting so I could shut down the phone and install GrapheneOS.

Whenever I ssh into it.

What’s crazy is that my small UPS consumes 20W at idle (fully charged; AC connected).

I got my server down to 40W too, and the UPS ate all the savings.

That’s amazing. I’ll have to take your word for it. I only have Firefox on my devices.

When you upgrade your desktop PC, plan for it to be the home server after that.

I got a rackmount case to transplant my old desktop montherboard into every 5 years. I also got a 4-port NIC so it can also be a router. My server is a 4th gen Core i5 and it’s still plenty of power for a home server.

If you’re a laptop guy, I’m not sure what you’d do. Maybe ask friends for their old desktops. The Win10 discontinuation next month would be a great opportunity to snap up some business PCs destined for landfill.

For Home Assistant, I think you either need Docker or a dedicated box. I kinda hate how there isn’t a .deb package for it like literally every other service on my server.
