<p>Israeli "network traffic monitoring hw used by law enforcement" was deployed in one European country and after few years of deployment public officials embarrassingly confessed that, device was not capable of monitoring IPv6 at all XD just sayin. people expect things working but even west devices are embarrassingly nonsensically flawed. Huawei / zte etc stealing sourcecode and blatantly copying it is even worse situation because they do not even understand how it should work. XD</p>

<p>90% of IDS, spyware, ADVERTS does not support ipv6... That is why most of (public) internet is not on IPV6<p>And what is most embarrassing is that truly fully IPV6 capable internet requires less of and lower powered "routers". "routers" will cost single thousands instead of hundred of thousands adn be more capable, speeedier. DDoS mitigations are easier in ipv6 too. And if every customer can have 2^64 IP (or even 2^56) addresses then you do not need "ports" anymore, every service on your server can have their own IP, or even every service customer can have their own ip address how much will that simplify CODE (source of bugs, of latency, of unnecessary payments) and lower energy requirements of login infrastructure ? and debugging ? also just right from bat you can trivially see on upstream router who is initiating DOS... PKI+IPv6 is gift from GODs! If your certificate is not issued for specific ip then "openssl" can drop connection in that instance. Is not that little bit more secure ? faster? less clunky. and with more oversoght for network "manager" ?</p>

<p>(linux + KDE) i save 24% by using black (#000000) everything, backgrounds, full theme, contrast control setting in firefox etc. on notebook with OLED screen. also if possible not using Chromes / safaris youtube video player but downloading of a video makes huge energy savings. (and using MPV in linux or properly configured PotPlayer in windows. VLC or default MS video apps are bad at energy saving.)<p>And we are talking about 15+ hours of actual office work in webbrowser + little bit of python math. so add 24% on top of that... that is literally weekend worth of work on one charge. current generation of laptop CPUS is insane.</p>

<p>Maaan, i stopped paying attention to bitcoin after Bitcoin Cash fork fiasco. Everything flew back into my consciousness. eth DAOHACK fail. Website, listing all possible BTC private keys. (de)Dusting. Printing signed transactions offline into QR codes on thermal paper... Good old days.<p>I am not sure BTC is still worth the hassle, most of hashrate is inside of USA (70+% =>51%...). most of BTC holdings is in USA... btc saga will end soon and badly in my opinion. BTC Cash made me pessimistic.<p>In Europe they have SEPA Instant Credit Transfer which allows people inter bank transfers in under 15 seconds. All KYC, all legal, all gov approved, gov regulated, all without fees to btc exchange / VISA. BTC does not even makes sense anymore. Technological innovations flew right past the BTC.<p>i am not even sure BTC infrastructure is quantum safe, blockchain "is", but i doubt rest of infrastructure is...</p>

<p>I hate lies, i hate manipulations.<p>Sothebys will be paid in multiples of what that video cost to make. How did you come up with opposite ? Most auction houses take 10- 30 % of price. So youre saying that this computer will cost less than 30k at final price ?<p>Also, Apple Computer was founded in 1976. But there were already "home" / personal computers sold from other companies for half of decade already. Or you can say that Apple employees did not built Apple-1 computer with already available intel 8008 CPU. Apple employees at that time were not innovators, they were marketers and solder monkeys.<p>Yes wikipedia is edited by public, and it is confusing on purpose. Apple has billions of dollars, so marketing department got paid to increase confusion on wikipedia articles for all apple products.<p>By charting computer history on timeline, you can see Apple-1 computer was nothing exceptional. It was just another random kit.<p>Apples push to sell to gullible teachers was toxic marketing strategy, which worked. So peoples exposed to this brand of computers in schools had emotional attachment to this brand. Yes apple targeted children. Not in China, in USA.</p>

<p>I have small 2 computer personal  setup, virtual / software defined networking.<p>virtualization is available in commodity hw from 1999 when VMWare allowed to have 56 virtual machines inside of one computer...<p>email"relay" server. because i do not want hassle of DKIM and other useful and appropriate technologies, needed to have to be able to have reliable delivery of mail. which i had problems with having my own email server not being able to deliver mail to some small business in past. im just using one of the big guys mail system, but all mail is archived in my "relay server". i can change email provider in few minutes that way. and take address with me.<p>fileserver. rsync or iscsi or btrfs send/receive  works great. Most linux distros use rsync + small script as a "installer". under GUI.<p>Owncloud, jitsi, wireguard.<p>Whonix. nothing nefarious. 2 vm setup for reality checking shadowbanning, price manipulation based on your social network profiles etc.
[<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25okvSzFUZY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25okvSzFUZY</a>] - video explaining Federal Trade Commissions pricing study about individualizing prices.<p>network connected cameras, collection device is "frigate nvr", every camera is just streaming RTSP anyway... you can check on them even with MPV/VLC. cameras are not exposed in any way to internet. your cameras get updates 2 times per lifetime... your windows at least once per month...<p>subnet / internal network - every service has its own IPV6 address so i can have visibility on multiple places into activity on my network. one of the services is changing ip address every 5 minutes. for security reasons. it is great indicator of intrusion, proved that twice already. :( if you do not have IPS, IDS, file change monitor etc, you know NOTHING about activity in your net. most linux distros are awful in default config. nonsense like WINE or products built on top of WINE are worst thing for security ever invented. you pay for unhampered surveillance of you.<p>Externally i rent for 2 dollars per month a private DynDNS relay / wireguard helper server for nat holepunching. because i do not have public ipv4 address, and you still need ipv4 for internet ADs ADs ADs ADs to work. I use service similar to  Hurricane Electric IPV6 service.<p>i host my own SoftwareDefinedRadio for few "friends".<p>Also bought kiwi sdr to sit in "DMZ" for public to use, it is great service/device. HAMs can check if their signal is received / receivable in my location. space weather, antenna misconfiguration, jamming ... also wspr beacon. i can show people how many radio signals are out there free to use.<p>im thinking about deploying DMR and/or dPMR "basestation" to enable connectivity in my area. "neighbourhood watch" can work even in no grid situation. we already have own wifi network but wifi handhelds (PTT, talkpod, zello etc) are not reliable for us, for some known to us reason. already big users of PMR446 but lacks privacy, but children like them for small formfactor. (roughly 60 users)  and that will be self hosted too.<p>meshtastic / reticulum / sideband is great as a home alarm notification system. PtMP.<p>homeassistant as a home manager + pv data aggregator/visualizer, it is almost not updated, i do not have nerves to deconflict plugins etc after every update. it is not exposed to wan anyway. to update only after newly bought devices require that.<p>passive house standard. + PV with storage.  92 % of hot water from solar photovoltaic (not solarthermal) past 365 days. ( first three months were exceptionally sunny this year) other years 88-90%. my house needs same amount of energy for heating as a 40 houses near me combined... why?<p>electric - house, cars, bikes, lawnmower,  semi self driving cart for garden (no AI/ML just basic "bug racing" arduino project magnified 1000 times. ).</p>
