But that's not going to "make Linux fucking happen".

Not that Linux is going to ever happen anyways. (talking Desktop)

Most providers from my understanding don't handle aliases well.

I have a catchall *@domain.tld and Fastmail when it receives an email on an alias, responds correctly with the proper alias.

Also when I compose, it let's me write in a custom alias for the From sender.

Other providers and email clients seem to want you to create an identity for each alias which is a huge burden.

I recently changed the USB port of my Fairphone 4 and it was just unscrewing and screwing.

why are you changing a USB port on a phone?

Yeah, Linksys made a killing from this and the WRT54GS 2.0 because of OpenWRT.

Reminds me of the time when Joseph Touch (I think his name was) proposed the NULL cipher in TLS. "It's just a proposal."

Any suggestions for online program / distance learning (I'm in Australia)? I want a proper challenge not a walk in the park.

Ah just realised no iOS release, that's a non-starter.

Let me put it this way: using my car's console controls are more distracting than using CarPlay with siri/voice control. If I'm uncomfortable though I would be in a worse shape driving, hence there's a need to set climate.

How does it handle browser autofill. What if you have to fill in a box that has a non-standard label? These are things I rely on with 1Password.

I don't know about Rivian, but I'm generally less distracted on the road with CarPlay due to Siri & Voice Control. I wish I could extend it to my native car controls such as climate control etc.

If said videos or media are doing that, there would be a corpus of samples by now. I'm very sceptical of this.

I'm guessing none to be honest. It sounds plausible but in practice it's probably too difficult to do anything useful compared to other tried and true vectors.

Everyone goes to the extremes when it comes to these theories and throws out all aspects of pragmatism.

How many victims are known to be exploited by video codecs? Compare that with the wider landscape of how victims are being exploited.

Looking at the comments from the previous thread at least on Android looks like you need to root the device. I'm not sure that is still required.

OP was making the case that CGNAT adds to the latency in some significant way. Yes it adds latency, but it is of negligible concern.

You do realise that mobile usage is a subset of the Internet and the Internet is not just about end user connectivity.

But you still haven't addressed my original point, how has IPv6 averted the impending (at the time) IP exhaustion problem? As I remember it, we were running out of IP addresses, then we did run out, and CGNAT helped extend the life of the Internet for people on IP, while v6 still remains an island that is optional and doesn't help alleviate any of the pain.

TL;DR: v6 is not fit for purpose.
